There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Ye Mengyao shook her head and said, "The sect's missions are all quite dangerous. Generally speaking, people who haven't reached the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement stage won't do sect missions. You're only at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement stage. Going on a mission at this point would be risking your life. I don't recommend you go. With your cultivation level, even if you wanted to take on a mission, you might not be able to."

Xu Changshou frowned: "Then what should we do?"

Ye Mengyao smiled bitterly, "There's nothing we can do. It's very difficult for us menial disciples to get ahead. If we were inner disciples, we would have many more opportunities. Unfortunately, we are not."

"Alright! Junior Sister Mengyao, farewell!"

"Brother Xu, take care!"

Back at his own dojo, Xu Changshou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Ye Mengyao is right; with his current cultivation level, he is indeed not suitable for doing missions.

Although his combat power is formidable, he dares not say that he is invincible in the Void Refinement realm. He is not confident in dealing with cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of Void Refinement.

If his cultivation can break through to the late stage of Void Refinement, things will be much easier, and he can then accept missions.

"Never mind, let's go check it out first!"

Xu Changshou took to the air and flew towards Zuofu Peak.

The Donghua Immortal Sect can issue missions on Zuofu Peak; missions cannot be issued on other peaks.

Of course, this excludes personal tasks.

Upon arriving at the mission hall, Xu Changshou discovered that the people coming and going were all at the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement stage; he didn't see any cultivators at the late stage of the Void Refinement stage, let alone those at the middle stage.

It seems Ye Mengyao was right; cultivators at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm are indeed not suited to take on missions.

After leaving Zuofu Peak, Xu Changshou did not return to Jumen Peak, but went to Youbi Peak and visited the Xuling Hall there, where he exchanged his only two merit points for two Xuling Pills.

With the Spirit Pill, Xu Changshou returned to continue his cultivation.

While cultivating, Xu Changshou would go to the market on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month to buy merit points.

More than ten years later, Xu Changshou also used up his last two Void Spirit Pills. Although he went to the market on Youbi Peak every day of his rest for the past ten years, tragically, he did not buy any merit points.

Everyone says that the market in Youbi Peak sells merit certificates, and it does, but in reality, the amount is pitifully small.

The Void Spirit Pill is an important resource for sects. The reason why the Donghua Immortal Sect adopts the merit system is to control the outflow of Void Spirit Pills.

It makes sense. If you could buy Void Spirit Pills with spirit stones, the market for them would be in chaos. Someone would definitely sell them outside the sect at a high price, which is something the Donghua Immortal Sect would never allow.

Without the Spirit Elixir, Xu Changshou felt like each day was an eternity, and his cultivation progress was so slow it was almost unbearable to watch.

"Junior Brother Changshou, are you there?"

On this day, Xu Ye suddenly came to visit.

"Hehe, it's Senior Brother Xu Ye! Please come in!"

Xu Changshou warmly invited Xu Ye into the living room and served him white flower tea.

Xu Ye glanced at Xu Changshou, who was brewing tea, and asked with a smile, "How is your cultivation progress lately, Junior Brother Changshou?"

Xu Changshou shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not as satisfactory as I'd like."

"Ha ha!"

Xu Ye laughed upon hearing this and said, "Have you used up all the merit points you earned recently?"

"how do you know?"

Xu Changshou was slightly taken aback, then shook his head helplessly.

He earned over a hundred merits for taming horses, a fact known to everyone.

Xu Ye smiled and said, "We inner disciples still need to fight for resources, let alone you menial disciples. Although the Donghua Immortal Sect has countless resources, these resources are reserved for geniuses."

Hearing Xu Ye's words, Xu Changshou felt extremely sad, as it was incredibly difficult for a menial disciple to obtain resources.

"We menial disciples are just cattle and horses for the sect, incomparable to you inner disciples," Xu Changshou said self-deprecatingly.

"I'm not going to say anything more, it's all tears. Senior Brother Xu Ye, have some tea."

As Xu Changshou spoke, he poured Xu Ye a cup of tea.

Xu Ye picked up the teacup, took a sip of the scalding hot tea, and said, "Junior Brother Changshou, right now, you have a chance to make a fortune."

"What kind of opportunity to make a fortune?" Xu Changshou asked expectantly.

Xu Ye put down his teacup and said seriously, "Junior Brother Changshou, have you ever heard of the Three-Legged Thunder Frog?"

"No!" Xu Changshou thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What does the three-legged thunder frog have to do with getting rich? Do you happen to have a three-legged thunder frog?"

Xu Ye smiled wryly: "If I had a three-legged thunder frog, I would never have to worry about cultivation resources for the rest of my life."

Xu Changshou urged, "Tell me quickly, what exactly is this opportunity to make a fortune?"

Xu Ye sorted out his thoughts and said, "My master, Venerable Red Lotus, helped my two siblings and me obtain a mission from Venerable Guye."

"What mission?" Xu Changshou asked curiously.

Xu Ye smiled and said, "This mission is Venerable Guye's personal mission. The goal of the mission is to help Venerable Guye capture the Three-Legged Thunder Frog."

Xu Changshou wondered, "What use is the three-legged thunder frog that could attract the attention of Venerable Guye?"

Xu Ye took another sip of tea and slowly said, "The essence blood of the three-legged thunder frog is the medicinal guide for refining the Void Spirit Pill. To refine the Void Spirit Pill, the essence blood of the three-legged thunder frog must be used as the medicinal guide; otherwise, it will be difficult to complete the pill."

Xu Changshou nodded to himself: "No wonder the Void Spirit Pill is so difficult to obtain. If we don't have the Three-Legged Thunder Frog, wouldn't it be impossible to refine the Void Spirit Pill?"

Xu Ye smiled and said, "The three-legged thunder frog will not become extinct. Every three-legged thunder frog that is brought into the sect is raised like a treasure. Its essence blood is only taken when it is needed to make a medicinal ingredient."

"A drop of blood can make ten thousand pills. A single drop of the essence blood of the three-legged thunder frog can be used as a medicinal catalyst to refine ten thousand Void Spirit Pills."

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, Xu Changshou gasped.

In that case, the three-legged thunder frog is valuable, worth a fortune.

What does it mean that a single drop of essence blood can be used to refine ten thousand Void Spirit Pills?

Xu Ye said, "Our mission is to capture the three-legged thunder frog alive, not to hunt it. The three-legged thunder frog is very precious. If we accidentally kill it, we shouldn't come back."

Xu Changshou scratched his head and asked, "Since the three-legged thunder frog is so precious, why doesn't Venerable Guye go in person?"

Xu Ye said, "The Three-Legged Thunder Frog is in the Shattered Star Sea, which is located at the border between the Central Plains Heavenly Sect and the Eastern Hua Immortal Sect. It is a sensitive area. If a cultivator at the Mahayana Realm goes there in person, it will attract the attention of others."

Ah!

Xu Changshou nodded secretly.

The Shattered Star Sea is a no-man's-land, a gathering place for rogue cultivators, and also home to many cultivators wanted by the three major immortal sects.

If Venerable Guye goes to the Shattered Star Sea, he will be targeted by other forces and will be more likely to be exposed.

If the information about the three-legged thunder frog were to leak out, it would be snapped up by all sides.

Therefore, it is not easy for Venerable Guye to show his face.

Xu Changshou thought for a moment and said, "Venerable Guye has his own disciples, so why should it be your turn to take on this task?"
