Chapter 480: Ident.i.ty Token
“Junior disciple, you don’t look familiar to me, I wonder what kind of task do you intend to undertake?” The youth sitting upright in front of the large room said and laid down his book.
Chen Jin had some doubts hence he said, “I am one of the new disciples who were just inducted. I’m ready to undertake a task to complete the monthly mission. But based on what you’ve said, there are other tasks as well. May I know how are they differentiated?”
Hearing Chen Jin’s question, the youth decided to clear up the confusion, “The tasks are, of course, grouped into different categories. Not only are there categories, but there are also levels. There are many categories, such as hunting monsters, planting herbs, performing alchemy, creating or refining magic artifacts, etc. Although both of these fall under the category of alchemy, can a task that calls for the creation of a first-grade elixir be on the same level as a task that calls for the creation of a second-grade elixir? However, you have just been inducted, you might not have even started cultivating yet. According to the rules of the sect, you don’t have to complete the mission for this month. Cultivate for the first month, and you complete the mission next month after you have gained some cultivation. You’ll be able to complete the mission more easily and smoothly then. You don’t need to be so anxious.”
Chen Jin gave a slight smile, “Heh heh, it’s all right! I want to find something to do now. I don’t know if I can get the work of planting and growing herbs?”
The youth looked at Chen Jin’s and scrunched his brows, saying, “Junior disciple, it seems that your level of cultivation is not very high. I don’t think that growing advanced magic herbs is suitable for you. However, the task of planting and growing low-level magic herbs is very time-consuming. Without nourishment from spirit stones, you will not be able to hasten the ripening of the fruit. It would be better to change to a different task.”
“Senior disciple, thank you very much for your reminder, but I have already decided to undertake the planting task. I hope that senior will fulfill my decision,” After finis.h.i.+ng his words, Chen Jin raised his fist and cupped it in his palm. What a joke, he was here for the mission precisely because he wanted to do some experimentation. He had a high level of cultivation, how could he fail to complete this type of task?
“Since you have already decided, go to that wall and choose a task. Just place your ident.i.ty token against the task and you will be entered into the mission,” the youth immediately felt a little displeased when he saw that Chen Jin had disregarded his advice, the tone of his speech also grew cold.
“But I wasn’t given any ident.i.ty token,” Chen Jin said doubtfully as touched his nose.
“I forgot about this. You are a new disciple so your contribution points recording tool has not been exchanged for an ident.i.ty token, you can simply touch the recording tool to the task,” the youth said awkwardly.
“The contributions points recorder tool can also be used to exchange for the ident.i.ty token?” Chen Jin did not understand.
“Of course, a new disciple can take the contribution points recorder tool to exchange for a token after completing the three monthly missions in succession. This is because disciples who could not complete the monthly mission for three consecutive months will be demoted to an odd-job worker, then, there is no need to issue the ident.i.ty token. After all, the ident.i.ty token also has a high construction cost and it comes with a comprehensive set of functions. Not everyone can wear it,” The youth smiled, he seemed to be alleviating the awkwardness of before.
“Thank you, Senior Disciple, for clearing up my confusion. I will be selecting my task now,” Chen Jin walked towards the wall.
Looking at the tasks that changed regularly on the wall, Chen Jin secretly thought that this novelty was like an LED display, it was quite interesting.
“Planting one Mu (a 15th of a hectare) of live blood gra.s.s and handing in 100 jin (50 kilograms) of the gra.s.s every season.”
“Attending to three flowerless trees and handing in 500 fruits a year.”
“Create grade one spirit soil, hand in one jin a month.”
“Maintenance of grade three spirit soil …..”
After staring at the wall for a long time, Chen Jin found that were all sort of tasks available, it was really difficult to choose. Just when he was about to switch to viewing a different category, the wall refreshed itself to another task – “planting a meditation orchid (seeds can be collected)” Chen Jin was very satisfied when he saw this task and stuck his recording tool onto the task. After receiving the task, he went to the youth and said, “Senior Disciple, I have received my task but I don’t know where are the seeds. Do I collect it from you?”
“Well, you are a new disciple and you have no ident.i.ty token. Naturally, you’ll collect the seeds from me. After you have completed the three monthly missions, you will be able to take the contribution points recording tool, the storage sack, and the entry disciple logo in exchange for the ident.i.ty token. When that happens, you won’t need to collect mission items from me anymore. The items will be automatically transferred to your token. The reason why the token is expensive is because of the small built-in array. Many functions are gathered in the token, including storage, the transmission of small items, communication, etc., you will understand in the future. ”
With this information, Chen Jin had a sudden realization. Such a small token had immense use. It seemed that the standard of cultivation in the Immortal World was indeed much higher than that of the Protoss pract.i.tioners.
After receiving the task and the seeds, Chen Jin immediately returned to his house and entered the small medicine garden to begin his experiment.
According to the instruction notice in the medicine garden, he would first have to put the seeds on the soil, sprinkle it with water, and wait until the water has thoroughly permeated the soil, then bury the seeds. After this, he would have to retrieve a spirit stone and bury it near the seeds. Finally, he would have to use his magic power to prompt the spirit stone so that the spirit soil would absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone. The soil would use this energy to nourish the seeds. It did not seem very difficult. As he was thinking about the process, Chen Jin took out seven or eight top-grade spirit stones consecutively from his storage ring. There was no other way, he could only do this since the only spirit stones he possessed were the top-grade ones. The effects of using top-grade spirit stones should be similar to that of using lower grade ones. Fortunately, there was no one next to Chen Jin, otherwise, they would be way too shocked. They would probably think, everyone else wants to complete a few tasks to earn some contribution points to exchange for spirit stones for their cultivation practice. But Chin Jin was in a great position; he was directly using spirit stones to complete his task.
When Chen Jin used the magic power in his body to prompt the spirit stones, the seeds did not experience any reaction tentatively. On the contrary, the grade of the spirit soil was rising like crazy.
Grade one spirit soil, grade two, grade three, grade four, grade five, grade nine… The grade finally stopped rising when it reached the ninth grade. If he wanted to continue upgrading the spirit soil until it was at a peerless grade, then he would require a spirit stone of a similar grade. However, Chen Jin did not know all of this. He merely felt that the spirit in the spirit soil had become fuller and deeper.
After completing the upgrade of the spirit soil, it took only a little effort on Chen Jin’s part for a while and then the seeds of the meditation orchid was growing at a pace that he could see with his naked eye. It was germinated and bore leaves.
Within the time that it took one stick of incense to burn down (thirty minutes), a meditation orchid that was larger than the one introduced in the book had been grown. As time pa.s.sed, the color of the orchid body began to turn into a dark green. The grain on the branches grew coa.r.s.er and older, its appearance gradually became aged. At the same time, the seven to eight flower buds that grew were all blooming. Suddenly, the fragrance of the meditation orchid pervaded the entire garden.
At the same time, near the meditation orchid, three small orchids began to grow, two small dark green soft shoots emerged. Not long after, a few small orchids were growing at the same time, they germinated, and bore leaves. The same process was repeated. In a short time, the entire small medicine garden was filled with blooming orchids, the plants were verdant and lush, their growth was excellent. It felt as if the orchids were about to burst out of the garden. This made Chen Jin somewhat speechless. “It seems that I’ll have to pluck all the flowers. After all, it is a crop from the immortal world. It would be good to take them back to Haierfa and give them to Guo Yan and Mu Yunhua. Maybe it can calm Guo Yan down so that she would not be so jealous anymore. Thinking of Guo Yan Chen Jin couldn’t help but develop a headache. He rubbed his head and began transplanting the crop.
“Hmm, I have to take out the spirit stone first, otherwise the flowers will just keep growing even after I’ve plucked them,” Chen Jin muttered to himself as he put the picked orchids into the storage ring.
After a while, all the orchids were stowed inside his ring, only one plant remained for him to submit his completed task. So Chen Jin took out the naga human replacement mecha. The robot should be able to handle things here while he was away for a while. The robot hid the travel device in the palm of its hand under the bed. Chen Jin had already pa.s.sed through the portal to Haierfa.
