"Fellow brothers, I am Wu Chung, please guide me along the way."
"Fellow brothers, I am Hong Ling, please to meet you all."
"I am Altima, nice to meet you all."
Altima busy introducing himself to other fellow brothers that stayed within the same building, while receiving some introductions from the others. Within this residence building they are assigned into, came in a total of 5 floors, and each floor consist a total of 20 rooms.
Within this Clan accommodation, the gender difference doesn’t make too much issue, where male and female are assigned altogether within few buildings. Although some matured contents issue does happen around the building, or even directly within their room itself, but from the Clan's point of view, they don't need to take action towards such relationship matters.
But for Altima, what is most important would be the time he would spend in cultivation!
Returning to his room, Altima unpack all the basic requirements that he would use daily, such as the Outer disciple uniform, the medicine box, Tea brewer that comes with well the tea cups, and other things such as the blankets, pillows and most importantly, the Yin Marrow Plant and the Yang Vein Shoots.
With his room is nicely unpacked and ready to lived in, Altima proceeds to enter his Private Cultivation Farm, and check on the available materials he could concoct before leaving.
After fully completing all the available task in hand, Altima finally entered his Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace and started to cultivate within.
From this moment, Altima's cultivation steps is always going to be as listed below:
Refine Extreme Yin and Yang Extract until completion.
Enter the Inner Palace, and consume the extract pills and start refining the essence and temper the Inner Palace to a higher level.
Practice martial arts upon refining steps is complete.
Handle Tian's matter.
Exit the Realm, and continue the life as the usual disciple within the clan, Altima went over to the Mission Hall, and participate along with the other clan disciple to choose a certain mission to complete.
Due to the required expenses of using the room is 5 contribution points daily, All outer disciple is required to participate in at least one easiest mission daily to ensure they earn enough for their accommodation expenses. Never to mention, the foods, cultivating room, and other specific places such as the martial pagoda, martial square, all required one to pay in the form of contribution points.
Altima quickly runs through the mission board, starting from the lower mission to the higher rank mission.
Within the Mission Hall, even participating in mission required one to have a certain contribution point as the proof to participate in higher ranked mission.
First Board, would be the Lowest Rank Mission. To participate in completing this mission, one does not need to have any contribution points, but depending on the task, one might need to spend a long hour to complete the mission.

Overlooking the numerous number of request among the board, some of the requests even included the task of cleaning and repairing the Clan building and assisting in helping elders in their daily request.
Altima run through a few task and finally decided to select the Lowest Mission - Gathering Arsalite Metals and also the Low Mission - Concocting Medicinal Pills. For him, currently this two would be the best and advisable task for him to focus in, due to the profession in his concocting and also the need to exchange for other metal products.
Heading first toward the Blacksmithing Department, Altima directly hands over a total of 5 pieces of Pure Arsalite Plate, which is refined and kept within the Grade 4 Spatial ring given by Gunther. Currently, Altima has an abundant amount of Raising Zen Pills within his inventory, but wealth shouldn’t be shown before he knows what kind of peoples is gathered within the Outer Clan.
In exchange for the 5 piece of Pure Arsalite Plate, Altima is surprised that the Blacksmith assistant within the Forge does not seem to be shocked with the amount of Plate he is given.
"5 Piece of Pure Arsalite Plates, worth 5,000 Ingots each, so in total, you had contributed a total of 25,000 Ingots to the blacksmithing Department."
The Assistant calculate the total amount of the contribution points after conversion, and with a tap of the Blacksmithing Department Medallion, Altima's personal Outer Clan Medallion is charged with a total of 2,500 Contribution points within.
"Junior brother, if you have more, do not hesitate to turn it into the Blacksmithing Department. Currently, the Sect have a huge demand of Arsalite due to the increasing needs of crafting Beast Formation Cages."
The Assistant speaks and informs Altima on the latest news before he proceeds to continue his task.
As the first mission is complete, Altima proceeds to the Medicinal Department next. Entering the Department, Altima provides the proof of accepting the Concocting Assistant task, so very quickly, he is arranged to a senior Alchemist within the Department to assist in the concoction of Demon Strengthening Pellet.
Although Altima has the same concoction recipe, but throughout his concocting experience, due to the lack of Demonic beast pet within his side, Altima have no concern related to concoct such a pill to use.
But currently, Altima is the owner of the Scarlet King Medicinal Cobra. No matter how he would need to have this recipe in his list because this would help in further the cultivation of his Pet.
Of course, as Altima is only a new Outer Clan Disciple, concocting directly as he entered the Medicinal Department is totally out of consideration. One need to have sufficient points to be allowed to participate deeper and explore to a more variety of options before he is allowed to participate in further contributing works.
"Junior, this senior name is Pang Yan."
"I am one of the 5 Concocting Master within this Department, so I hope you could assist me nicely, and learn all the possible technique, so you could cultivate and receive points more quickly as well."
"Do you have experience in concocting this Medicinal Pellet before ?"
The way Pang Yan speaks is pretty comfortable to Altima, and with the similar amount of respect, Altima replied him.
"Senior Pang, Altima have no experience in concocting this certain medicinal pellet before, but I have plenty of experience in concocting. I hope Senior Pang could direct this junior a little."
"Great, if in that case, let us proceed with preparations and start concocting quickly, as the target of 50,000 Pellets in a week is almost here."
"I can see that you have more experience in sorting the medicinal ingredients, and preparing the concoction, hopefully, this time no disastrous event happened to like the few last assistant."
Pang Yan speak nonstop, and when he start touching the ingredients, his playful appearance changed immediately, and become as serious as how a cultivator trying to break through his next stage.
The two of them quickly run through the raw ingredients, and refine all possible extracts before Altima awaits Pang Yan's instruction. After all, Pang Yan is the main concocting Master in this procedure, so Altima should follow his arrangement, wherein their next step, both of them started to channel their Yin and Yang essence toward the Cauldron and allows the cauldron to be heated before they started with the concoction.
"Altima, add in the Pure Insect Essence Bead."
"Now! The Demonic Beast Blood and the Mandrake."
"Adjust the temperature while I slowly add the other Demonic Beast droppings."
"Altima, place the Demonite Stone into the cauldron and now let us refine the ingredient and form the Pellet."
After a total of 6 hours of concocting, the total of 5,000 Pellet is finally completed.
The fragrant quickly escape from the opening gap within the cauldron, and enveloping the whole Concoction room, making everyone within the Medicinal Hall surprised with the results.
Inspecting all the medicinal pellet, Pang Yan noticed that although all of the medicine is still within their Early Medicinal Grade, but all of them are in the top condition, which is on par with the effect close to Late Medicinal Grade products.
Happy with the results, Pang Yan specifically request that Altima will be helping him again for his next upcoming task again, and hand over a total of 5,000 Contribution points to Altima, before he allows Altima to return to his quarters for a rest.
"Pang Yan, what do you think about that kid's skill ?"
A nearby Concocting Master inquire about Altima's skill.
"Truly up to his fame. Now I understand why Elder Ling Hu wants me to cooperate with him in the matters of concoction. If we could understand each other better, In the coming few years, we would be able to concoct this specifically retrieve recipe that will allow our tamed beast to increase their bloodline strength drastically."
Pang Yan replied. From the way he talked, it is easily noticeable that he holds quite a position within the Medicinal Hall in the outer Clan district.
As for Altima, for the first day, he retrieves quite a great haul to obtain a total of 7,500 Contribution Points in one go. Although he has a slight urge to continue doing the same task and obtain more points, Altima need to plan meticulously, as it should not an issue for him to obtain a huge number of Points during his first day as the Outer Clan Disciple.
"Blinngg."
The medallion on his waist glows for a moment, and through the Bead embedded in the middle of the medallion, and a few strokes of words appears within.
"Urgent Deployment!"
"All Clan Disciple is required to report to the Profound Volcanic Mountain Range to subdue to incoming Demonic Imps Waves."
"Failure of reporting will results in a deduction of 100 Contribution points, and restriction in only Lowest Tier Task for the next week."
The Notice of Summon glows for a while, and as the bead missing its brilliance, Altima's door has knocked from the outside, and a loud voice came in from the outside.
"Brother Altima, I am Wu Chung!"
"Did you get the same summon as well ? Let us go to the Profound Volcanic Mountain Range together!"
Altima came out from the room, prepared and as they both rush towards the direction lead by the other senior disciple, Altima turned towards Wu Chung and inquire.
"Brother Wu, do you know why Is there sudden summon like this ?"
"I'm not so sure myself, but from what I heard from my senior brother within the Inner Clan, its seems like this kind of summons happened very often, almost once to twice a week."
"And from my information, this kind of summons greatly enhance the contribution points a disciple could get. We can help reducing the threat from the Demonic Beast wave, as well as reducing the chances of them leading the beast to destroy the Kingdom."
"But we can stop dreaming about getting the loots. Did you see a group of professional Porters behind us ?"
"They are the special dismembering team from the Armament Sect. in exchange of their collection assistance, the Armament Sect will provide us with Weapons, Treasures and any equivalent value treasures depending on our contributions."
"Look, we are almost there!"
Wu Chung explained and soon pointed at the view of a total of 6 Mountain Peak, with 3 of them bursting with fiery red Lava flowing from the peak, and another 3 Peak seems to be spewing unlimited amount of Volcanic Ash, making the mountain peak seems to be covered heavily with Volcanic Ashes.
Current Contribution Points: 7,500
