Chapter 826: Who says peak masters can't take missions?

The mission's content is actually very simple: just hunt for ingredients.

Rewards are determined by the ingredient's cultivation level, with both live capture and slaughter.

Alive is definitely better than dead, no doubt about that.

For example, if you can capture a Profound Demon Realm ingredient, you'll get two rations and ten sect points.

But if you slaughter it, you only get one ration and five sect points.

And if you can capture a Profound Demon Realm ingredient, you not only receive rations and sect points as rewards, but also earn a meal quota without competition.

As for capturing a Monster Emperor, you can directly obtain the privilege to order a meal, limited to seven dishes and one soup.

Sect points are given sparingly; compared to other mission types, they're practically negligible.

But do the disciples care about sect points? Obviously not—what they truly value are the rewards the canteen itself offers.

Meal quotas, rations—isn't that great?

"Holy shit, give me the mission, steward—I'll take one."

"Bullshit, I've taken all of this."

"Nobody try to steal from me, it's all mine."

The disciples immediately got excited, but the canteen-commissioned missions don't actually require fighting over.

The disciples only need to bring back the ingredients they captured or slaughtered; after verification, they receive the corresponding rewards.

Of course, the canteen's missions are also periodic; right now ingredients are insufficient, and after this batch is replenished, it will likely stop, only to be issued again once ingredients are consumed enough.

Hearing the Mission Hall steward's explanation, the disciples rejoiced, each turning and rushing toward the Monster Clan Territory.

Damn, why not grab a few more ingredients? If we could get several more Purple Demon Realm ingredients, wouldn't we have free meals?

The many Inner Door Disciples and Inner Disciples thought to themselves.

In an instant, a large number of Dao Yi Shengdi disciples surged into the Monster Clan Territory.

Moreover, as more and more people learned of this news, they came forward one after another.

This is a mission posted by the canteen, after all—it ought to be handled splendidly.

Just as the disciples fell into frenzy, Hong Zun, Capture Dragon, Mu You, Mo Yun, and the various peak masters also learned of this.

In a moment, everyone unanimously came to the Mission Hall.

Inside the Mission Hall, the few stewards busy with work suddenly saw Hong Zun stride in, and they quickly spoke up.

"Greetings, Peak Master Hong Zun."

"Hmm, register me—I want to take the canteen's mission."

"Huh???"

Hearing that, the several stewards of the Mission Hall were stunned—what are you coming to stir up trouble for?

As a peak master, one naturally doesn't need to take any missions; if there were any, they'd be assigned by the sect.

You're already a peak master—why come to the Mission Hall to compete with the disciples?

Seeing several stewards exchange bewildered glances, Hong Zun frowned and said.

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No, but you're the Divine Sword Peak peak master, coming to the Mission Hall to take a mission—this isn't.................."

"What's up? Who said peak masters can't take missions?"

"That's not the case, just.................."

Indeed, no sect rule forbids peak master‑level people from taking missions at the Mission Hall, but isn't this pointless? You're already a peak master—why take a mission? Is it just for those few sect points?

Put bluntly, you're a high‑level figure of the holy land, a rule‑maker; coming to the Mission Hall to take a mission—isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill, just bored?

However, Hong Zun couldn't be bothered to waste words with the stewards; before they finished speaking, he interrupted directly.

"Cut the nonsense, quickly register my level—I'm in a hurry to leave."

"This........... all right, Peak Master Hong Zun, please wait a moment."

Under Hong Zun's pressure, the Mission Hall stewards quickly registered him, and then Hong Zun turned and left.

As he walked, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"This time I must drag back a Monster Emperor's head and order a table of dishes?"

As a peak master, and one of the few peak masters who have broken through to the Great Saint Realm, Hong Zun's gaze naturally wouldn't fall on those little fish and shrimp.

His goal is simple: the Monster Emperor.

Securing a Monster Emperor lets him order a full table of dishes; then he can enjoy a couple of drinks—it'll be heavenly.

Just thinking about being able to eat an entire table of the canteen's delicacies by himself, Hong Zun couldn't suppress his excitement, and his steps unconsciously quickened.

I thought Hong Zun was just an exception, but then, as Lin Potian, Mo Yun, Capture Dragon, Qin Shan Hai, and other peak masters appeared one after another, the Mission Hall stewards were completely dumbfounded.

Each of these peak masters came to take a mission.

You guys really have a problem—you're peak masters, yet you're taking missions.

Besides, with your strength and status, when has there ever been a meal that didn't include you?

Since you don't have to worry about food, why bother taking a pointless mission?

So, without a doubt, the peak masters all took the canteen's missions and then quickly left the Mission Hall.

Originally, the appearance of the peak masters had already left the Mission Hall stewards speechless.

But then, when Shi Song appeared, the stewards only felt their scalps go numb, and they weakly asked.

"That Second Elder, are you also here to take a mission?"

"Hmm, you guessed correctly."

"Heh............"

Ha............

Damn, is this a guess? In the entire Dao Yi Shengdi, thirty-six peaks, besides Jade Maiden Peak's Peak Master Bai Hua Xianzi and Shadow Peak's Peak Master Jue Ying, the other thirty-four peak masters have just left.

Even the peak masters are bad enough, but even you, this chief seat Elder, have come— isn't that a bit outrageous?

Having resignedly registered, I thought that would be the end of it, but when Qi Xiong appeared at the Mission Hall, the Mission Hall Stewards completely lost their temper.

"The Sect Master also wants to take a mission?"

Damn it, the Sect Master comes to the Mission Hall to take a mission? What the hell kind of operation is this.

Not to mention the many Mission Hall Stewards, even the disciples nearby all wore strange expressions.

"Sect Master, please don't come and compete with us."

"Has Dao Yi Shengdi become this cutthroat? The Sect Master is even coming to compete with disciples for missions."

Faced with everyone's strange looks, even Qi Xiong couldn't help but blush, but soon he thick-skinnedly spoke.

"What, is there a rule that the Sect Master can't take his own sect's missions?"

You damn well listen to what you're saying— you know it's your own sect's mission, why bother taking it?

"Aren't these Sect Points damn just coming from you? Do you lack this stuff?"

Though inwardly speechless, on the surface a few Mission Hall Stewards still forced a reply.

"Of course not."

"Then hurry up and register."

"Fine......... alright."

Speechless, after living so many years, I've never heard of any sect's Sect Master coming to his own Mission Hall to take a mission— this is truly unprecedented.
