Chapter 257: This is the gap

And what kind of bullshit mandatory mission is that? As long as you don't come, everything is easy to talk about.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Baihua smiled and nodded.

"Fine, I will give instructions later. I apologize on behalf of my disciples for the trouble caused to you two Senior Brothers."

Look, look, this is what a Peak Master should be.

Hearing Fairy Baihua's words, the two old men were almost moved to tears, and the Third Elder said with deep emotion.

"This is the gap between people."

Personally seeing the two off, on the way back to the main peak, the Third Elder still couldn't help but say.

"If certain people could be like Junior Sister Baihua, we would be much more relaxed."

"Indeed, let alone being like her, if certain people could learn even one ten-thousandth of Junior Sister Baihua, my Law Enforcement Hall would be able to enshrine them and offer incense."

Saying this, the two looked at each other and then let out a deep sigh.

The idea is great, but how could it be possible?

At the Near-Sea Camp, Until Hong Zun, who was resting on a lounge chair with Ye Changqing and Qingshi, suddenly sneezed.

"What's wrong with you? Did you drink alcohol into your trachea?"

Qingshi on the side teased. Hearing this, Until Hong Zun rubbed his nose.

"Who the hell is bad-mouthing me behind my back?"

Completely unaware of what happened in the sect, and in the past few days, the disciples of Jade Maiden Peak have come less often. However, no one cared; if they don't come, they don't come. Isn't it good to have one less competitor?

At Jade Maiden Peak, in the cave dwelling where Baihua lived, Zhao Rou walked in at this moment and bowed respectfully to Baihua on the main seat.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, I heard that you have been turning the Mission Hall upside down recently?"

Even when inquiring, her face was still full of a gentle smile. Fairy Baihua is such a person; the feeling she gives people is gentleness, always making one feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.

It seems like she never gets angry. At least Zhao Rou, the eldest disciple, has never seen her Master get angry. At any time, she is always in a gentle manner.

Hearing this, Zhao Rou didn't think much and said truthfully.

"It's not really making trouble. Everyone is just accepting missions normally. The sect didn't set a limit on the number of missions one can accept, right?"

"That may be so, but you cannot be unscrupulous. Your Third Uncle has already complained to me."

She didn't punish her much, just told Zhao Rou to tell the disciples not to go to the Mission Hall for a while.

"I will be going out for a while recently. The affairs of Jade Maiden Peak will be handled by you and the elders. Remember what I just said."

There was no punishment. Under normal circumstances, Fairy Baihua rarely punishes her disciples. Even if they make a mistake, she teaches them with soft words.

Hearing this, Zhao Rou responded respectfully.

"Yes, disciple understands."

Leaving the Master, Zhao Rou quickly passed down the order. Upon learning that they could no longer go to the Mission Hall, the disciples were stunned for a moment.

If they don't go to the Mission Hall, what about the sect points?

Recently, in order to quickly improve their cultivation, their sect points have been decreasing like flowing water.

If they can't accept missions, how will they cultivate in the future?

Soon, a disciple found Zhao Rou and complained.

"Eldest Senior Sister, if we can't accept missions, how can we cultivate?"

"Exactly, this is the time when expenses are high. Is this not letting people live?"

Without sect points, it is absolutely impossible to move an inch in the Dao One Sect. Zhao Rou also understood the feelings of the junior sisters, but this was the Master's order, and she had no choice.

"I understand the feelings of you junior sisters, but the Master has already given the order, and I have no way out."

"Third Uncle even complained to the Master."

Upon learning that it was the Third Elder who complained, the disciples were suddenly furious.

"How old is he, and he still complains about disciples behind their backs."

"It's just accepting a few more missions. He doesn't even have this much perspective."

"He is old and lacks dignity. Why doesn't he go tell my Father the Emperor?"

This was simply cutting off everyone's source of wealth. Just as the disciples were complaining unhappily, Zhong Ling, the Third Senior Sister of Jade Maiden Peak, spoke up beside Zhao Rou.

"Alright, what can you solve by complaining like this? If it spreads out, people will think our Jade Maiden Peak is a group of shrews."

"But Senior Sister, what should we do now? If we can't accept missions, how can we earn sect points?"

Everyone knows that if you want to earn sect points, the Mission Hall is definitely the first choice.

Facing the complaints of the junior sisters, Zhong Ling revealed a sly smile and said slowly.

"Who said that only the Mission Hall can earn sect points?"

???

"Senior Sister, what do you mean by that?"

"Yes, if we don't accept missions, how can we earn sect points?"

Facing the doubts of the junior sisters, Zhong Ling explained.

"The Mission Hall is indeed the fastest and most direct choice to earn sect points, but it is not the only one. Since Third Uncle doesn't allow us to go to the Mission Hall anymore, we can go find Fifth Uncle."

"Fifth Uncle? The Miscellaneous Affairs Hall?"

A disciple quickly reacted. Fifth Uncle is in charge of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Handling all kinds of miscellaneous affairs in the Dao One Sect, the most common ones are, for example, building houses, distributing cultivation resources, and so on.

But how can the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall earn sect points?

"Third Senior Sister, what can be done in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall?"

"Have you forgotten that there are some jobs in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall? For example, chopping wood, delivering letters, running errands, etc. These all have sect points."

"Although it's not much at one time, it is a considerable amount of income when added up."

【Translation note: The source text contains a garbled advertisement string here.】

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the disciples lit up. Yes, how could they forget the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Unlike the Mission Hall, the work in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall is basically long-term, and it doesn't have any difficulty, and the income is also very small.

For example, chopping wood. Black Iron Wood, ten pieces of Black Iron Wood only reward one sect point, and Black Iron Wood is extremely hard and very difficult to chop. A handyman disciple at the Body Refining Realm might not even be able to chop enough for five pieces a day.

There is also delivering letters, which are usually sent to various industries of the Dao One Sect in the secular world. The sect points are not high, and it is extremely boring and time-consuming.

Therefore, even outer sect disciples wouldn't go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, so it was naturally ignored.

But now, following Zhong Ling's words, the disciples' minds became active, and some even started talking to themselves.

If calculated according to the Purple Mansion Realm cultivation, three sword strikes can chop down one Black Iron Wood, and ten Black Iron Woods count as one sect point. Adding rest and recovery time, one can chop at least five hundred Black Iron Woods a day, that is fifty points...

Fifty sect points, this is already comparable to missions in the Mission Hall. The more they talked, the brighter the disciples' eyes became. It is feasible.

And the most critical thing is that the work in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall is different from missions; it is long-term. How much you can complete, you get that many contribution points, with no restrictions at all.

No one noticed this before, but now, the disciples of Jade Maiden Peak all showed sweet smiles and said to Third Senior Sister Zhong Ling.

"Third Senior Sister is wise, junior sister admires you."

"You junior sisters overstate it. As the saying goes, heaven never closes all doors. Shall we go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall together tomorrow?"

"Let's go together, let's go together." ===== CHAPTER 258 =====
