The Treasure Generating Bowl - Chapter 1004
Chapter 1004 The Water is Too Deep
“Brother, don’t be so quick to refuse!”
The Taoist priest Gui De still looked at He Pingsheng with a smile and said in a low voice, “I know you are very disgusted by this matter!”
“Actually, I also find it very objectionable!”
“I don’t want to play this game either!”
“But there’s nothing we can do, brother. Every newly promoted immortal from our Red Lotus Immortal Valley has to suffer this blow!”
“You can’t get by without taking this cut!”
Do you believe it or not?
Guide Daoist stared intently at He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng smiled and said, “Oh? What’s wrong? Can’t you make ends meet?”
“Brother, you don’t understand, do you?” Gui De Dao Ren said, “First of all, you need to cultivate in the outer sect. All kinds of resources, immortal techniques, and immortal arts all consume points. But if you don’t have points, do you have to take on missions?”
He Pingsheng nodded: “I just need to take on those missions that don’t require consuming immortal power, right?”
“For example, guarding the Ascension Pool or something like that!”
“You’re overthinking it!” Guide shook his head: “I can’t say more about this!”
“But you’ll understand when you get back!”
“Also, the reason I’m lending you points today isn’t just my personal decision, Daoist Guide. I have a superior, you understand?”
“I was just like you back then, unwilling to give in, but in the end, didn’t I still get ripped off?”
“Besides, if I lend you three thousand and you return nine thousand, you’ll only lose six thousand five hundred points. As long as you work hard, you can pay back those points in a year, let alone three years!”
“Absolutely no problem!”
“Of course, it might be a bit tougher then!”
He Pingsheng was surprised: “No… nine thousand minus three thousand, isn’t that six thousand? Why would I lose six thousand five hundred points?”
“You don’t understand, do you?” Gui De Dao Ren said, “They say they’ll lend you three thousand points, but you’ll only actually receive two thousand five hundred!”
“Consider those 500 points as payment for your rent!”
“Rent?” He Pingsheng’s eyes widened. “The sect assigned me this small courtyard, who else am I supposed to pay rent to?”
“This is the little courtyard!” Guide Taoist laughed loudly, “Did you think it was given to you to live in for free?”
“No… we have to pay 500 points every year!”
“Alright, I won’t waste my breath on you. Think it over yourself!” Gui De stood up. “You can decide now whether you want to borrow the points. I’ll ask you one last time, will you lend them or not?”
“Of course, this is our boss Jing Lei’s business. If you don’t want to lend it, Brother Jing Lei won’t force you!”
“But looking back, you’ll find it very difficult to stay in this outer sect!”
“Hehehehe…”
He Pingsheng shook his head firmly: “I won’t lend it, sorry!”
“Alright!” Gui De cupped his hands in greeting: “Junior Brother He, I understand your answer… See you later!”
After saying this, the Taoist Gui De left directly.
He Pingsheng ignored them and continued to sit cross-legged, frowning in thought.
He wanted to find Liu Liu to see if he could get some tasks to do!
But before he could get up, Liu Liu had already reached the door.
“Senior Brother Liu Liu!” He Pingsheng opened the formation and bowed respectfully.
Liu Liu sneered and said, “Sorry… Junior Brother He, there’s something I forgot to tell you!”
“Our sect provides two types of accommodations for outer disciples. One is the kind you are currently living in, which requires you to pay 500 points as rent every year!”
“The other one… is the mountains and fields outside!”
“You can go over there and create your own cave dwelling!”
“However, the area of the cave dwelling must not exceed ten zhang in diameter!”
“I forgot to ask you, which one do you choose?”
Goodness…
So it was a whole scheme!
They were so polite to me just now, but that was all based on the premise that they wanted to extract value from me.
Now that I’m not borrowing money, they immediately come over and say this to me?
“Alright!” He Pingsheng handed the golden token back to Liu Liu and said, “I don’t have any points right now. Thank you, Senior Brother Liu Liu. I’ll come back to stay in such a high-class place when I have enough points!”
After saying that, He Pingsheng walked out of the courtyard without looking back.
“Junior brother…why bother?” Liu Liu caught up and said, “Actually, you might as well borrow some points first, it’s not a big deal!”
“Otherwise, you won’t be able to move an inch here in the outer sect!”
“Sorry, I don’t want to lend it!” After refusing, He Pingsheng asked, “Senior Brother Liu Liu, may I ask where I can accept missions? I’d like to go and take a look!”
“That’s easy…” Liu Liu said with a smile, “See… behind that Immortal Transformation Stele, there’s a smaller hall. That’s the Mission Hall. There’s also an Elder Hong in the Mission Hall. You can go and take a look over there!”
“Okay, thank you!”
After bowing, He Pingsheng transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the outer sect mission hall.
This main hall is indeed much smaller than the main hall for stewards.
When He Pingsheng entered, the place was deserted, except for an old man sleeping on the counter.
He Pingsheng ignored the old man and looked up at one of the walls.
A kind of array was set up on the wall, with flashing light membranes and various characters on them.
Sect Mission: Capture 50 first-grade demonic beasts [Golden Yuan Beasts] alive and raise them as sect immortal beasts. 1000 points.
Sect mission: Guard the Ascension Pool, 200 points per month.
Sect mission: Assist in the management of Immortal Spirit Valley, 400 points per month.

Personal Task: Senior Brother Liang from the Immortal Talisman Garden needs the blood of a second-grade demon beast to make talisman ink. One second-grade fire-attribute demon beast is required, along with 3000 points.
…
The tasks listed above are dazzling, numbering in the hundreds.
He Pingsheng also secretly selected a few, feeling that he could also complete such tasks.
He walked up to the old man leaning over the counter and said, “Elder Hong…”
Elder Hong raised his head and glanced at He Pingsheng: “What is it?”
He Pingsheng said, “This junior has come to accept the mission!”
“Huh?” Elder Hong’s mouth dropped open in surprise. He stared at He Pingsheng for a full three breaths before shaking his head: “No!”
“No?” He Pingsheng frowned. “What do you mean by ‘no’?”
Elder Hong said, “No means no… New kid… All the missions in my Mission Hall have already been taken by others!”
“All of them!”
So…you can’t accept it!
“Don’t come here again, honestly, you come here to get missions, huh…”
They were all taken away?
Is that possible?
He Pingsheng shook his head speechlessly and walked out of the mission hall.
It seems that the sects in the immortal realm are no simpler than those in the cultivation world.
The water is very deep.
Just as He Pingsheng stepped out of the main hall, the Taoist Gui De walked up to him with a smile.
“Junior Brother He… have you received the mission yet?”
He Pingsheng ignored him!
Is this guy just asking a question he already knows the answer to?
“It’s alright!” Guide walked up to him and said, “I know you definitely won’t get it. Actually, it’s not targeting you… all the missions here have already been taken by someone else!”
“You won’t be able to get a mission here!”
“If you want to accept the mission, you still need to find Senior Brother Jing Lei!”
“Although the task offered by Senior Brother Jing Lei is a bit low-priced, at least it guarantees you’ll earn points, right?”
