《Primordial Cultivator》Mission Hall
Advertisement
Yang Wei slowly wakes up and starts heading to the Mission Hall.
'I probably try to choose one related to alchemy since it needs a strong soul power to concoct a pill and it will give me more experience.'
Yang Wei thinks about it and believes this is the most logical way to earn a contribution point.
Arriving at the Mission Hall, it was crowded with many outer disciples.
"Sect Elder, I have decided to choose this mission. Please approve it."
"I also chose a mission too. Sect Elder please."
Yang Wei hears many disciples talking to the sect elder in charge of registering their mission.
For a disciple to take a mission officially, they must first be registered by the sect elder. Otherwise, they would not be able to claim their contribution point.
Mission assignment is shown in a wide board where Yang Wei and other disciples can look to see.
Yang Wei looked at the different missions that have different difficulty assigned in it where the higher the difficulty, the more contribution points one earned.
'So many different missions and most are confusing or extremely difficult.'
Taking his time slowly, Yang Wei decided to choose a mission about helping a sect elder in the work for alchemy.
"Sect Elder, I decided on this mission." Yang Wei took the mission and went to the sect elder to have him register it.
"T-This mission. Boy, are you really sure about this mission? If you are unable to satisfy this request, you could suffer a lot and even a harsh beating." The sect elder said to warn Yang Wei of this mission.
It was a mission to hand out 1000 contribution points which is a lot to these outer disciples but the catch is, no one was able to complete it.
He has approved so many disciples on this mission, only to have them come back in a battered face and failure.
Yang Wei nodded his head to show his silent determination in this mission. 'If this mission was simple and easy, it wouldn't be posted on the board for this long.'
Shaking his head on another hot-headed youth, the sect elder stamped on the mission to show that it's been approved.
Bowing to the sect elder, Yang Wei holds the mission slip and walks to the direction of the court that the elder requested.
"Halt, this place is off-limit to outer disciple."
"This place is where our sect elder lives and the elder is busy in trying to figure out a pill formula."

Instantly, two guards in this courtyard block off Yang Wei's entrance when he was about to step inside.
"I'm here because of a mission I just accepted." Yang Wei said while showing them the mission slip.
Seeing the authentication slip with a stamp, the guard nodded their head and allowed Yang Wei to pass through.
Once Yang Wei disappears from their eyesight, the two guards start talking to each other.
"Hah, another fool that's about to be thrashed by the elder."
"Wanna bet how long this boy would last from the elder?"
"You're on! I bet he will get thrown out within 10 minutes."
"Then I shall bet 20 minutes since his pretty handsome face should show he has some skills."
Yang Wei didn't know he was being gambled on how long he will last in this elder's courtyard.
His mind was only on what the sect elder wants him to do specifically in this mission.
The mission only stated the person must help the elder in concocting a pill and nothing else.
*Knock*
Knocking the door lightly to show respect and announce his arrival, a loud voice echoed throughout but the voice was a female one.
"Shut up, don't you know the rules that I hate to be disturbed when I'm refining a pill."
*Booooooom*
A loud explosion occurred and the roof of this building exploded with a mushroom cloud of smoke.
Yang Wei had a bad feeling about this outcome and tried to take a step back. 'Pill refining and an explosion could only mean the pill is a fail.'
*Gulp*
Yang Wei swallowed his throat nervously since this female elder would definitely target him for the failure.
Suddenly a loud footstep from the inside opened the door and a black dusted female face was pointing her finger toward him.
"Who are you? How dare you interrupt me when I'm concocting a pill?" The female elder roared at Yang Wei who was the only one present here.
The two guards outside completely went silent when they heard the outrage of this voice that they turned into a stone statue.
Knowing the eccentric behavior of this female elder, even if she was a beauty, they would not even glance at her.
The fate of leering or interrupting her pill session was equivalent to asking for a harsh beating or having a limb broken.
But the worst case was the ban of being able to use pills provided by the Alchemist Hall.
Without being able to access pills from the sect, it was the same as being a death sentence since their cultivation would definitely not improve much.

Yang Wei didn't know much information about this sect elder until now.
He was expecting an old man to appear since most alchemists were old dudes who studied for their entire life.
Just because his soul was not from this world does not mean he will know much about cultivation fantasy. He wasn't a novel fanatic and was simply an ordinary person on Earth.
Therefore, Yang Wei is now clueless about how to reply to this female elder who has clearly failed before his arrival.
"I'm sorry elder, I have just arrived here to accept your mission and was ignorant in knowing that the elder is currently concocting a pill." To stay alive, the best way is to admit his mistake even if it's not.
"Hmph, given how it's your first time here. I shall be merciful one time and forgive you. Hurry up and clean up the dust on the floor. Also, call me Elder Jing from now on since you're my medicine boy as of today."
Elder Jing said to Yang Wei before turning her back around him.
'Thank god there's a scapegoat or else my failure would be known to those old fools again and they would refuse my request for more herbs.'
Yang Wei knows he was a scapegoat but can't do anything else besides listening to Elder Jing's orders.
When one is on another person's roof then they are to listen and not complain about anything. This is the so-called Chinese term which Yang Wei's previous life mother always says.
Picking a broom nearby, Yang Wei starts sweeping the floor while Elder Jing went to the pill furnace.
She was examining every part and closing her eyes. She was visualizing her moment of concocting a pill and to see which part got wrong.
After another 5 minutes, Elder Jing suddenly said in an excited mood.
"Aha, so that's where I got wrong. I need to replace dragon blood flowers with dragon moon flowers. The dragon blood is too high in toxin and counters the other herb but dragon moon is mild and can coexist with them."
Yang Wei, who finished cleaning the room up, heard these two herbs in confusion. He has never heard of these two herbs in his life and can't help but feel excited.
'Indeed, helping an elder that is familiar with alchemy can boost my experience. Cleaning the room and I can learn something is a great price.'
"Uh, boy what's your name."
"Replying to Elder Jing, this one is called Yang Wei." Yang Wei replied lightly.
"Good, Yang Wei, take this list of ingredients and go toward the Treasure Hall and tell them that Elder Jing wants this. I need these herbs as soon as possible so hurry it up."
Taking the list of ingredients, Yang Wei hurried it up to the Treasure Hall as being slow in this task would result in him being fired.
When Yang Wei was heading out, the guards eyed him in surprise as he wasn't thrashed nor kicked out.
Shaking their heads as they don't want to get in trouble with Elder Jing, they decided to stand still like a statue and do their duty.
As usual, in the Treasure Hall, there was a long line but Yang Wei had no time to waste so he decided to skip the line.
"Hey newbie, don't skip the line when we're all waiting for our turn."
"Do you want to get thrash?"
Instantly, everyone in the line started yelling at Yang Wei but he ignored them completely and went directly to the elder in charge.
"Kid, I don't want to repeat myself like those youth but rules are rules and they must be followed."
"I'm here on behalf of Elder Jing's assignment to retrieve some ingredients as she has just achieved a breakthrough in her results. I can't afford to make her wait but if the elder insists on making me wait in line and ruin her inspiration…"
Yang Wei said slowly without finishing his sentence. The elder in charge knew the meaning behind this word since Elder Jing was a respective person here and no one dared to offend her.
She was in charge of the Alchemist Hall and the management of the pills where even he would need to ask politely for one.
"Haha, so it was Elder Jing's task. Boy, you should have said it earlier so we wouldn't waste any more time."
Hearing the elder's words, Yang Wei handed the list over to him so he could get the ingredients listed there.
The youth who were next in line couldn't help but have a gloomy expression. He has waited for a long time but got skipped and the person did not even get punished.
While the other youths couldn't help but complain in their mind with an ugly expression on their face.
Yang Wei ignored them as he had enough to play the kind man since being overly cowardly would hinder his achievement and could create an inner demon.

If Milton is to survive long enough to find answers, he must first be strong enough to confront his worst enemy: himself. * This is work in progress and NOT professionally edited. * ** This story is humorous in the begining, but gets very dark around the turning point.

“If it lives, we can slay it. And then burn it, just to make sure it doesn’t come back from the dead,” she said. “...does that happen often?” he asked. “Slaying? Yeah, duh?

8 87Having a Common Game Ability In Normal Life
As long as i can remember, i can see something other people can't see Yes, on the top right of my vision, i have something that looks like a map, does it useful? how does something that blocks 1/32 of my vision to be useful? Does it have to be useful.. right? As i get older, this looks like "mini-map" in a video game that i played, so i decided to call this Mini-map at least I'm not the only one with this kind of thing.. from what I've found, everyone has different ability, for example my little sister can see another person status, there's a person that can heal wounds by eating meat, there's a person that once a day can spin roulette to get reward, there's a person that can jump twice in the air and there's a person that can throw fireballs..... wait a minute!? the story will be slow, since i just write this to train my english anyhow the idea of this story will be if someone can throw a fireball does their hand burns? if someone can jump for 30m can they survive the fall? if a bard play a song that can regen their allies, why’s the enemy isn’t regenerating? if a cleris creates a barrier can their allies attack from inside barrier? and About the first few chapter i know the grammar was really bad but it’ll help me if you guys read the first few chapter and go straight to the last and tell me have i improve or not P.S i hope The world has “common language” feature so everyone speak in the same tongue lol
