Ji Xiaohu and Wang Dan arrived at the meeting point on the second floor.

"Xiao Hu, Wang Dan, you two are finally here! I thought you hadn't found a suitable artifact!" Ji Zihan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ji Xiaohu and Wang Dan arrive together.

After the manager's calculations, they finally spent most of the group's points to acquire the five artifacts.

"These elemental artifacts are really expensive! Tens of thousands of points just vanished like that." Ji Xiaohu was so angry that he pounded his chest and stamped his feet when he saw tens of thousands of points disappear in an instant.

Seeing Xiao Hu pounding his chest and stamping his feet, Ji Zihan couldn't help but purse her lips and say, "I'm telling you, these points were earned by Dao Yi through alchemy. What does it have to do with you? Why are you so upset?"

"I'm heartbroken for Dao-ge, this won't do."

“Alright, let’s go meet up with Sister Yueyue and see what mission she’s taken.” Sun Puyue interrupted their conversation.

"Hello, I am Wang Yueyue, a teacher from the first training group. I came here today to see if there are any tasks suitable for our group."

"I didn't expect your group to be so proactive, but before that, I need to conduct a capability assessment of your group. This will help me better determine what kind of tasks you are capable of completing," the staff member said to Wang Yueyue.

"What do you need us to provide?"

"It's very simple. You just need to register the cultivation information of your group members. Since you are a training group, your tasks need to be verified by us, and you also need to update your cultivation information with me every month."

“If it’s just information about their cultivation level, I can provide that.” Wang Yueyue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, since Ji Daoyi was still in seclusion and it was unknown how long it would take for him to emerge. If he needed to be present in person for testing, they would have to wait until he came out of seclusion.

Within minutes, the staff had completed the registration of the information provided by Wang Yueyue.

The staff member then said, "Based on the information you provided, your group is stronger than we thought."

“I have a few tasks here that are very suitable for your group. Some of these tasks were originally prepared for Group Two, but it seems that your group is more suitable for them.”

Wang Yueyue said embarrassedly, "Isn't this inappropriate? What if our group takes over the task for Group Two?"

"They shouldn't have time to take on any missions these next few days, so even if you take on all these missions today, it won't affect Group Two."

"Alright then, let me see what tasks are available."

Wang Yueyue then picked up the task information given to her by the staff and began to review it.

Task 1: Exterminate the Wolf Demon. A wolf demon at the early stage of the Organ Refinement realm is suspected to have appeared in Yi Village, Huanglong Town. This wolf demon has already killed several people, and it possesses extremely strong spiritual senses and incredible speed. It will hide whenever a powerful expert exceeding the Organ Refinement realm appears.

Mission requirements: Complete the mission using the wolf demon's head within five days.

Task Two: Clear out the bandits. A new group of bandits has appeared in the Sanhe Village area. The bandit leader has reached the peak of the Blood Refining Realm, and the number of bandits is about twenty.

Mission requirements: The task of handing over the head of the bandit leader must be completed within one month.

Note: This task has been accepted by many people and is not yet completed.

Task 3: Find the elixir, the heart essence of a Blood Refining Realm beast tiger.

Task requirements: Within one month, collect ten drops of tiger blood essence, the more the better.

Wang Yueyue read through the descriptions of the three tasks one by one, and finally found that each task had a certain level of difficulty and was suitable for them. So she accepted all three tasks she was interested in.

After completing everything in the mission hall, Wang Yueyue headed towards the resource pavilion.

A quarter of an hour later,

"Hey, what's Ji Xiaohu doing? Is he beating his chest in frustration? I told you I wouldn't let you see, but you wouldn't believe me. Now that you see so many multi-dimensional artifacts, you're itching to buy them but can't afford them. You must be feeling really bad." Wang Yueyue saw Ji Xiaohu gesturing wildly from afar and thought they were heartbroken because they didn't have enough points.

To soothe the wounded hearts of Ji Xiaohu and the others, Wang Yueyue quickened her pace and even used her movement techniques.

"Sister Yueyue, why are you in such a hurry? You even used your movement technique. Is it because the mission we received urgently requires us to set off?" Ji Zihan looked at Wang Yueyue, who had rushed over, with a puzzled expression.

"The mission isn't urgent. I just saw Xiaohu's grief from afar. I imagine you were all shocked by the number of artifacts on the second floor."

Wang Yueyue had an "I understand" look on her face, especially when she saw them all nodding.

"You don't need to be sad. Before long, you'll be able to earn points. When you've accumulated enough points, you can exchange them for the spirit artifacts you want. Having a goal is a good thing, isn't it?" Wang Yueyue said to herself as she comforted her.

"Sister Yueyue, I..." Ji Zihan was about to explain when Wang Yueyue interrupted her.

“Zihan, I understand you. I used to be just like you. When I saw all those dazzling array of magical artifacts on the second floor, I wished they were all mine. I understand that feeling of being able to look but not take.”

Upon hearing Wang Yueyue's words, Ji Zihan was at a loss for words, and her head immediately drooped.

(Sister Yueyue, please don't say that, I'm getting creeped out. We've already exchanged for the spirit artifacts. Xiaohu was just heartbroken about losing tens of thousands of points, not about not getting the artifacts. It's all Ji Xiaohu's fault. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been in such an embarrassing situation.)

When Wang Yueyue saw that everyone had lowered their heads, she thought she had hurt their self-esteem.

Wang Yueyue cleared her throat and said, "I've assigned you three missions. Two of them have a long timeframe, about a month, so you can put them aside for now. The other mission, the wolf demon mission, is much more urgent; you only have five days to complete it."

"Five days?"

"Yes, but we don't know how long Dao Yi will remain in seclusion. If he comes out of seclusion tomorrow, we can wait for him. After all, it takes a whole day to get to Yi Village in Huanglong Town, and the wolf demon isn't waiting for us to kill it, so time is not plentiful."

"Then how about we take over the wolf demon mission instead of going, Brother Dao?"

“That won’t do. If he doesn’t go, neither will you.”

“Why not? All three of us are at the peak of the Marrow Refining Realm, and Wang Dan has also reached the Marrow Refining Realm.”

“If he doesn’t go, you’re not even qualified to take on this mission. That wolf demon is suspected to be at the early stage of the Internal Refinement realm.”

"If Brother Dao doesn't come out of seclusion, won't we be unable to do anything?"

"That's why I said you all need to go together. And whether the mission is completed or not is not important. What's important is to temper your character through this mission."

"Don't worry, I've planned everything. If Dao Yi hasn't come out of seclusion by tomorrow, Xiao Hu will stay behind to wait for him, and then come to Yi Village with him. We'll go to Yi Village first to find out about the wolf demon."

"Is this okay?"

"I reckon he'll be out of seclusion in the next couple of days. Don't worry, once he breaks through to the Refining Organs Realm, the wolf demon will be a piece of cake. You just need to provide cover and gather intelligence."
