26. Big Reward for the Tasks

26. Big Reward for the Tasks

Chen Xiao indeed hated it, but he couldn’t tell who he really hated.

With the sixth level of Martial Practice, plus the Wild Thunder Swordplay of Big Achievement, if careful enough, he wouldn’t have lost so easily even if he was not Lin Yun’s rival.

For his ability, he should have taken at least over a hundred moves from Lin Yun. Due to his carelessness, Lin Yun even hadn’t given him the chance to pull out his sword.

So all in all, he could only have himself to hate. He asked for it.

Hundreds of outer disciples who came as bystanders were quite disappointed, for they thought there’d be a big fight.

But no one had expected that it had ended up this way.

“Lin Yun goes to the Sect Affairs Administration in such a hurry. Is it possible he has accomplished all the three tasks?”

“No way! One of the tasks is to kill Kuang Yan the robber!”

“Let’s go take a look and we will see.”

“Come on! Let’s go.”

Immediately the crowd was all gone, only leaving Chen Xiao and his lackeys.

Creak!

Lin Yun pushed the door open and stepped in.

The Sect Affairs Administration was as crowded and lively as before.

When people saw Lin Yun come in, it became quite suddenly. Everyone dropped things at hand and cast their eyes at him.

The news that Lin Yun claimed three spiritual stone tasks had made a huge stir.

Except the inner disciples, only those outer disciples ranking top ten had the guts to take spiritual stone tasks, because they knew how hard it was.

But the outer disciple who had ever been a sword slave took three spiritual stone tasks in a row.

How could it be possible it wouldn’t have made a stir?

“The sword slave is back!”

“Don’t know whether he has accomplished the tasks or not.”

“If he comes back without accomplishing the spiritual stone tasks, he’ll get severe punishment.”

Everyone in the hall was whispering about Lin Yun, and the way they looked at Lin Yun was kind of quirky.

That was human nature. No one would feel comfortable if he got surpassed by someone. Besides, Lin Yun had been only a humble sword slave before.

But Lin Yun looked quite calm and kept walking ahead.

“Easy, easy! Don’t push!”

Suddenly a bunch of people flooded in, making it in total disorder.

And later over a hundred people came in.

The spacious Sect Affairs Administration became a little crowded.

“What’s going? What are those people doing here?”

“Don’t you know? Lin Yun defeated Chen Xiao with only a punch!”

“Seriously?”

“Of course. Many people were there. Sorry for Chen Xiao. He kept spitting blood and even couldn’t get up. I guess he is still lying in there now.”

The whole hall was filled with people’s gossips about Lin.

“Administrator Yang, this is the Blood Lilies I’ve collected. Please check them.”

Lin Yun stepped forward and gave him all the ten lilies.

After examining it carefully, Administrator Yang confirmed, “Good. All the Blood Lilies are in perfect condition. Here is your reward, 400 lower spiritual stones. And meanwhile you also get your bonus—the right to purchase one Blood Refining Elixir.”

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Lin Yun accepted the spiritual stones and thanked him.

The 400 lower spiritual stones were within his expectations. But the bonus was really a big surprise.

The Bloody Lilies were the main ingredients of Blood Refining Elixirs, and Lin had collected ten at a time, of course he deserved some bonus.

“To purchase Blood Refining Elixir? Only the inner disciples have the right.”

“If I had a Blood Refining Elixir, I could have already broken through the fifth level of Martial Practice. Pity that I haven’t got the quota till now.”

“Alas, how I wish I would’ve been brave enough to take this task!”

“Forget it! The Blood Lily grows in deep of the Flower Valley, and is guarded by the evil beast. Even if you are lucky to find one, you won’t have a chance.”

On hearing Lin Yun’s reward, people were all cheering, with all jealousy in their eyes.

The reason was absolutely because of the Blood Refining Elixir.

Then Lin Yun took out the claws of the Ink Flame Tiger, and got 600 lower spiritual stones as his reward.

Two out of the three spiritual stone tasks reported.

Now the disciples in the hall began gossiping whether Lin Yun had finished the third one.

It was to kill Kuang Yan the robber.

Kuang Yan the robber had done too many evil things in Skywater Kingdom. Quite a few sect disciples had ever tried to kill him, pity that they either had died in his hands, or let him escape.

But Lin Yun didn’t seem to have the ability to end Kuang Yan’s life.

At this time, a kind of invisible pressure pressed down from above.

An elder walked down the stairs slowly, smiling.

On seeing the old man, all disciples in the hall held their breath.

The old man was a big shot of the Sect Affairs Administration, Head Wang with the ninth level of Martial Practice.

“Our greetings, Head Wang.”

All disciples paid their respect immediately.

Head Wang smiled, “Save the act. I am here to announce one thing.”

“What would it be?”

“Head Wang seldom shows up. But every time he appears, there’ll be a big thing to announce.”

“Does it have anything to do with Lin Yun?”

While everyone was curious about his coming, Head Wang came before Lin Yun and said in a low voice, “The outer disciple Lin Yun has killed Kuang Yan the robber outside the White Water Town and earned the name for our sect! The chief is notified of this and specially orders me to present a reward for him.”

Wow!

The whole hall fell into silence. Lin Yun had really accomplished the three spiritual tasks?!

Even the chief was informed of the news.

But actually one needn’t make fuss of it.

Those robbers had done all evil things through the whole Skywater Kingdom, and were notorious through the whole kingdom. As the top power of Skywater Kingdom, of course the chiefs of the four sects would have sent people to hunt them down.

Any sect that could slaughter any of them would absolutely make a name for themselves.

Especially Kuang Yan the robber had killed quite a few disciples of the other three sects, and finally died in the hands of a disciple of their sect.

As the chief of Qingyun Sect, of course he could show off before the chiefs of the other three sects.

The chief would be absolutely very happy on hearing this and pay attention to this thing and grant Lin a big reward.

“It’s my responsibility to serve the sect.”

Lin Yun didn’t expect this, for he never knew him killing Kuang Yan the robber would have attracted so much attention.

Head Wang smiled, “Neither conceited nor rash, good. Here are 500 spiritual stones for you. Besides, there’s an extra reward. You are allowed to enter the Script Chamber to choose an innate fragmentary handwritten martial arts script.

On hearing this, even Administrator Yang showed some interest with his eyes shining.

An innate script!

Although it’s fragmentary, it was priceless. And if one was lucky enough to learn a few moves, one would be invincible among those of the same level.

On the first floor of Script Chamber, almost all martial arts and kung fu skills were originated from the fragmentary innate scripts.

If one could obtain a fragmentary handwritten innate script, even if one couldn’t practice it successfully, it would be beneficial for one’s cultivation.

All in all, the last reward was out of everyone’s expectations.

Commonly speaking, only the top inner disciples could have such benefits.

“Come with me.”

Head Wang said to Lin Yun, and then led him to the top floor of the Script Chamber.

Under the envious eyes of those outer disciples, he gradually disappeared.

“Only those innate martial art practitioners could practice the innate scripts. In the sect there are two complete innate scripts, the power of which is extremely terrifying. They are also the foundation of our sect. Now they are both in the chief’s hands. And all the fragmentary ones are in here.”

Head Wang introduced its history to Lin Yun after he brought him to the top floor.

And the he said cautiously, “Any misunderstanding of the fragmentary innate script, one would get possessed. The fragmentary handwritten script is to broaden your eyes and see if you can perceive a unique martial art yourself from it.”

“I understand. I won’t practice it without being fully prepared.”

“I’m glad to hear that, otherwise it would only do harm to you.”

Of course Lin Yun understood. It seemed an innate fragmentary script was not as valuable as expected.

But still he was very excited and looked through the brief handwritten introductions.

While he kept scrolling, Lin Yun became more and more serious. It really made his eyes greatly open. It felt like entering a new world of martial arts.

A shining new gate opened for him.

Through the fragmentary words on the handwritten scripts, he got to know the power of those innate practitioners. One could even kill his opponent a thousand meters away with the momentum of the sword.

One could jump over three hundred meters high, shatter the city wall with a punch and split a river apart with a palm.

And when he saw a handwritten script called Dragon Tiger Fist, the expression on Lin Yun’s face got slightly changed, because he felt kind of familiar with it.

“This is?”

Head Wang explained, “This is a fragmentary script of the innate martial arts Dragon Tiger Fist, and the Tiger Fist you have practiced is originated from it.”

“I’ll pick it then.”

Lin Yun chose it without thinking.

He had just made his Tiger Fist to the Big Achievement, and this was just what he needed for now.
