29 Chapter 29 Star Spirit Lake
The disciples nodded, looking at Lin Lee, then started doing their own things. The female disciples peeked at him.
'True disciple Lin is extremely talented and handsome.'
'He is the only male true disciple in our peak.'
'He reached innate at such a young age, so talented.'
All female disciples wisphered amongst themselves extremely infatuated with him,
"True disciple Lin, my name is Xiao Mi. There are a few tasks here; you can select among them," the female staff disciple introduced herself with a smile, then passed the four jades containing four different task details for True Disciple.
Sect Contribution and Reward System: In order to enhance disciple performance and distribute sect resources among the disciples, this system is introduced. According to this system, the disciple's performance and contribution are recorded in the sect.
Outer Sect disciples complete smaller and easier tasks inside their own peak. They aren't allowed to venture outside their peak for their safety. They do tasks similar to planting and growing medicine in medicine fields.
Inner disciples complete medium tasks inside the sect domain and are allowed to run errands to other peaks, but they aren't allowed to venture outside the sect.
Core and True disciples complete High and Top tasks outside the sect, like punishing some lawbreakers, exploring ruins, participating in sect vs. sect competitions, etc.
The sect rewards these disciples, points in return for their task completion. Using those points, disciples can buy anything offered in the sect, even Holy medicine and materials.
Lin Lee reviewed all the tasks Inner disciples and above can accept. One task interested him:
It's a task to explore the Xing Ling Lake (Star Spirit Lake) and find 3rd order star grass inside, this lake is located inside the Star Kingdom.
Each year a lot of disciples accept's this task, but they all fails to complete the task except few lucky one's, they can't find star grass in it after exploring it except killing few 3rd order monster's and getting their star cores.
That's why this task is refreshed every year for almost a hundred year, and sect keeps refreshing it's reward again and again.
Lin Lee is not interested in the task but the rumored star grass at the bottom of this lake, then said looking at Xiao Mi, "I will accept this task."
Xiao Mi nodded and registered the task in his name. Now this task is marked accepted on all peaks; after a month, other disciples would be able to accept it, in case he fails.
"Also, give me a small void boat," Lin Lee then said.
The female disciple nodded, then walked toward the backside and brought a few small palm-sized boats.
"Senior Lin, here are the latest personal void boats," Xiao Mi said, putting them on the table amidst the envious eyes of disciples around.
"That's Void Boat. Only Core disciples and Elders are eligible to buy." One of the disciples spoke with red eyes, enviously.
Some disciples sighed secretly.
They already lost the opportunity to become true disciples, and very few promote to core disciple; the chance of upgrading to the true disciple means they can't have the void boat in their entire life.
Lin Lee glanced through the boats; his sight fell on the leaf-shaped jade boat. He picked it up.
"This is Top Earth Level Void Boat. It is exclusively made by our peak True disciple Senior Sister Liu, a talented forging master," Xiao Mi said with a smile.
'Senior Sister Liu is a Forging master? That explains her sturdy physique and bandit-style dress.' Lin Lee nodded speechlessly.
Then he said, "I want this one."
"100,000 points for Top-Level Earth level void boat; 50% off for disciples from leaf peaks. You have to pay 50,000 points," Xiao Mi then said again after calculating and discounting.
Lin Lee nodded thoughtfully; it seems peak-owned products offer discounts for its own disciples.
Then he checked the rate list of treasures:
Yellow Low Level: 250 points
Yellow Medium Level: 500 points
Yellow High Level: 750 points
Yellow Top Level: 1000 points
Spirit Low, Medium, High, and Top are 2500, 5000, 7500, 10,000.
Earth Low, Medium, High, and Top are 25,000, 50,000, 75,000, 100,000.
Heaven Level ranges from 100,000 to a million.
After Heaven Level, there are Holy Level treasures. Holy treasures can't be bought with points, but you can buy Holy Medicine and Materials in the sect with points.
Lin Lee then bought the void boat and left the peak after recognizing it with a blood drop.
Threw the void boat up; it enlatged and a medium-sized jade boat appeared in the sky. Lin Lee then flew inside and appeared in the control room.
Instantly, the void gap appeared in the sky; the boat flew inside and disappeared.
After a while, a figure materialized in the void. "My little disciple is so cruel; he didn't even inform me about leaving the sect." Chu Lan patted her chest and muttered with a heartache.
Then she glanced at the information about the task he accepted. 'Well, an exploration task will be fine with his innate strength and the holy weapon I gave him.' She thought then disappeared.
…
At night,
Inside the Star Kingdom, located in the south domain of Shang Dynasty,
A huge lake sparkling with starlight. There are colorful plants and particles diluting on the surface of this lake, similar to the stars filled in the dark sky. This lake is famous as the star lake for such a breathtaking starry sight; it's the 3rd largest lake in this south domain spanning more than a hundred thousand miles in diameter.
A boat appeared after breaking through a mirror-shaped crack.
Lin Lee walked toward the edge of the deck, looking at the lake below. He was surprised by the starry view of the lake. "It's so beautiful, but how can I explore such a huge lake?" He muttered thoughtfully.
Then he expanded his consciousness around covering a 20 km area, which couldn't even cover a fraction; he became speechless.
Suddenly his bead spirit shook, and an induction appeared from the west area of the lake.
'Opportunity.' Lin Lee's eyes lit up. He hurriedly steered the boat toward that direction.
The boat appeared and halted above the area referred to in his induction. Lin Lee jumped toward the lake; instantly, aura covered his body as he dived deep toward the direction the bead is pointing at.
Looking at colorful stones and plants around, he dived deeper. Finally, colorful starlight revealed in his vision.
As he reached a hundred meters deep, he halted, looking at the entity sleeping curled below. It's a snake-shaped monster; its scales are pitch black but with flickering starlight.
'Starry Beast, a rare beast, can be born in the area with extremely concentrated starlight. I didn't expect I would encounter it,' Lin Lee thought in surprise.
Beast race and Monster race have differences. Monsters have orders 1st to 10th.
Monsters' appearance matches Beasts and animals', but because of negative attributes, they have very altered and ugly appearances, just like the three-tail poisonous scorpion before. Almost all monster races have no intelligence.
While Beasts are an intelligent race, unlike monster orders, they are differentiated through their bloodline ranks: Beast, Beast Lord or Innate Beast, Beast King, Holy Beast, Immortal Beast.
Beasts are similar to other animals but with a more beautiful and positive appearance. Just like this Starry Beast.
Lin Lee let bead spirit conceal his figure; he appeared beside the beast looking at its beautiful appearance; his eyes lit up.
Instantly, the Starry Beast opened its eyes and raised its head, starting to look around puzzled.
Lin Lee halted, surprised at the puzzled beast. 'Such sharp senses, as expected of the Starry Beast,' he thought. Instantly, the bead in his soul space shook; it appeared outside, and his figure was also revealed.
Lin Lee's face changed, becoming alert, ready to attack. Next moment, he was surprised: the Starry Beast, startled by his sudden appearance, didn't attack him. Instead, it started staring at the bead spirit.
Instantly, a white light flashed from the bead and fell on the beast. The Starry Beast halted, then suddenly, its body shook, all its scales fell to the ground, and its round body shrank. More colorful white scales reappeared, and instantly, Lin Lee felt a pressure.
A memory appeared in Lin Lee's mind: he can use fortune and misfortune inside the bead to promote and demote the beast bloodline and spirit.
Lin Lee became speechless. 'So, this 4th fortune and misfortune has such a function; I didn't expect that,' he thought, then glanced at his quarter-black bead spirit. Before the Master Realm, his bead became half-black after saving him. After promoting to the Master Realm, it became full white. Just now, it used a quarter fortune to promote the beast bloodline ranks and absorbed the beast misfortune.
'So, it means I can absorb misfortune and fortune from living things,' Lin Lee thought, then sighed in relief. He was worried about the gathering of fortune and misfortune; it's easier than expected. Also, it can promote spirit; that's why his nanobots are happily staying inside his bead spirit.
