My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 859 - 860 Invitation from Tianji Pavilion

"Pft!" Zhou Xue spat out a mouthful of tea once again.

Feeling a bit awkward, Ye Wudao said, "My apologies, I was being presumptuous with that question!"

"Cough, cough, no offense taken, Brother Ye... I understand," Zhou Xue nodded and said with a smile, "To be honest, our Tianji Pavilion undertakes missions from all cultivation sects and aristocratic families in Dragon Country! As long as our members complete the missions, they earn corresponding points. With points, you can exchange for weapons, pills, or even cultivation techniques; and more than that..."

After a pause, Zhou Xue continued, "If you accrue enough points, you could even hire a Unity Realm-level master as your bodyguard!"

What!?

Hiring a Unity Realm master as a bodyguard!

Ye Wudao’s scalp tingled at the thought.

This was insane!

"This is a privilege exclusive to Tianji Pavilion members!" Zhou Xue smiled, paused for a moment, and then added, "For example, as a three-star member of Tianji Pavilion, I am granted one free opportunity each year to summon a two-star member to assist me. Once the mission is completed, I take the majority of the points!"

Ye Wudao couldn’t help but feel tempted upon hearing this.

From Zhou Xue’s explanation, this Tianji Pavilion seemed immensely powerful and had profound backing, handling missions across all cultivation sects within Dragon Country!

There were no restrictions on members!

It allowed complete freedom!

It truly was an excellent place!

Most crucially, joining Tianji Pavilion would allow Ye Wudao to gain deeper insight into the cultivation world!

"Brother Ye, have you made a decision?" Zhou Xue inquired.

"If I join Tianji Pavilion, there really wouldn’t be any restrictions?" Ye Wudao asked again, as he despised being constrained the most.

"Absolutely none!" Zhou Xue nodded firmly.

"Alright!" Ye Wudao nodded as well. "I’ll join!"

"Congratulations!" Zhou Xue smiled and retrieved a blue token from her person, adorned with a single star. She said, "This is your token! Since you’re a newcomer, your rank can only be one-star. You’ll need to complete missions to level up!"

"Thank you!" Ye Wudao accepted the token and curiously asked, "So in the future, do I have to come here to pick up missions?"

"Not so!" Zhou Xue smiled and shook her head. "Our Tianji Pavilion has seventy-two locations across Dragon Country! This place is merely one of our lowest-ranked branch halls!"

Hiss!

Ye Wudao took a deep breath.

How vast and formidable was the Tianji Pavilion!

"Many thanks for your guidance, Lord Zhou!" Ye Wudao cupped his fists respectfully.

"Haha, no need to be so polite, Brother Ye! With your strength—slaying the Huang Brothers and eliminating Black Puppet Wanderer—you’re at least at the mid to late stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm. If you complete a few more Yellow-level missions, I believe it won’t be long before you’re promoted to a three-star member!" Zhou Xue said with a smile.

Ye Wudao smiled slightly; chatting with Zhou Xue felt as refreshing as a spring breeze!

"Brother Ye, why not take a look and see if there’s a suitable mission? Upgrading quickly comes with rewards, you know!" Zhou Xue suggested.

"Oh? What kind of rewards?" Ye Wudao asked with curiosity.

"Advancing from one-star to two-star grants you five thousand Spirit Crystals, while going from two-star to three-star earns you ten thousand Spirit Crystals!" Zhou Xue explained.

What?

Such generous rewards!

Ye Wudao was visibly tempted. To cultivate and become stronger, resources came first!

Even ghosts will work for you if you have money!

"Come, Brother Ye. I’ll take you to have a look!" Zhou Xue said.

"Alright!" Ye Wudao nodded.

Soon, Zhou Xue accompanied Ye Wudao to Tianji Pavilion.

"Lord Zhou is out with that young man surnamed Ye!"

"It seems that young man surnamed Ye has joined Tianji Pavilion as well!"

"Unbelievable! Tianji Pavilion has such a high threshold; not just anyone can join!" Many True Pill Realm cultivators on-site looked on with envy and jealousy.

They watched as Zhou Xue pointed to a wall densely covered with missions and gestured, "Brother Ye, take a look—these are the missions. Most of them are Yellow-level tasks, Profound-level tasks are rarer, and Earth-level tasks are incredibly scarce!"

Ye Wudao looked up and examined the missions. Yellow-level tasks included helping someone from the Blazing Fire Sect find a Firecloud Herb, with a reward of 300 points.

Another Yellow-level task involved escorting an item for the Blackwater Hall, taking a week, with a reward of 800 points.

Ye Wudao’s gaze shifted to the Profound-level missions; these were on another level!

"Profound-level mission: Assist the Fierce Tiger Sect in attacking the Black Shark Sect. Reward: 5,000 points!"

"Profound-level mission: Assist the Heavenly Extermination Sect in attacking the Heavenly Corpse Sect. Reward: 8,000 points!"

Ye Wudao’s attention settled on the last Profound-level task; a sudden surge of interest rose within him!

He had a grudge against the Heavenly Corpse Sect!

Not to mention, Li Tiandao was hiding there!

The hatred of losing his mother and the humiliation of abducting his wife was irreconcilable!

"Brother Ye, are you interested in this Profound-level mission?" Zhou Xue was startled and asked hurriedly.

"Hmm, I think it’s a good fit!" Ye Wudao nodded.

Zhou Xue glanced around cautiously before lowering her voice, "Brother Ye, let me warn you—the Heavenly Corpse Sect isn’t easy to handle! Their Sect Master, the Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse, is at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He’s been encroaching on the Heavenly Extermination Sect’s territory, causing them grievous losses. As a result, they offered a hefty sum to post this Profound-level mission in Tianji Pavilion. However, even with three three-star members teaming up for it previously, not one of them came back alive from the Heavenly Corpse Sect!"

Zhou Xue’s meaning was clear!

If you don’t have the strength, don’t force it!

Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know how you’d meet your end!

Ye Wudao nodded and said, "I’m determined to take on this Profound-level mission!"

The entire crowd was astonished!

"What the hell, someone just took on a Profound-level mission!"

"It’s that rookie who just joined Tianji Pavilion!"

"A mere one-star member audacious enough to accept a Profound-level task—does he not know how he’s courting death?" Some were shocked, others sneered.

"Brother Ye, you—!" Zhou Xue froze, utterly stunned. "There’s no backing out once you’ve accepted a mission!"

"I have no regrets!" Ye Wudao declared.

His reasons for taking this Profound-level task were twofold: first, his grudge against the Heavenly Corpse Sect!

Second, assisting the Heavenly Extermination Sect would also earn him points and accelerate his rank at Tianji Pavilion!

A dual benefit!

Seeing Ye Wudao’s resolute expression, clearly not joking, Zhou Xue said, "Since you’ve chosen to accept it, I won’t say more. Hurry to the Heavenly Extermination Sect—they’re in dire straits!"

"Where is the Heavenly Extermination Sect?" Ye Wudao inquired.

"In Five Poison Mountain. Here’s a map—it’s on the house." Zhou Xue took out a map and handed it to Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao received it and expressed his gratitude earnestly, "Thank you, Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Xue nodded.

...

By the time Ye Wudao departed from Tianji Pavilion, daylight had broken.

Looking at the map, Ye Wudao quickly got a sense of the location!

The Heavenly Extermination Sect was in Five Poison Mountain, situated in the western region of Dragon Country. Five Poison Mountain consisted of five large peaks, filled with venomous snakes and feral beasts, shrouded year-round in toxic mists, and rarely visited by humans!

The Five Poison Mountain housed five sects in total!

They were the Heavenly Extermination Sect, the Tian Du Sect, the Tian She Sect, the Heavenly Corpse Sect...

The Heavenly Corpse Sect had originally been the weakest, but in recent years, they had grown significantly and become the dominant faction in Five Poison Mountain, constantly encroaching upon the territory of the Heavenly Extermination Sect, driving it to the brink of collapse!

Following the map, Ye Wudao soon arrived at the location of the Heavenly Extermination Sect’s headquarters in Five Poison Mountain.

At the sect’s entrance, several True Pill Realm cultivators stood guard. Upon seeing Ye Wudao approach, they immediately tensed up and said, "This is the Heavenly Extermination Sect’s territory. Who are you?"

"I am a member of Tianji Pavilion, here to assist after accepting your mission!" Ye Wudao replied.fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
