Chapter 76: Changes in Task Rewards_3
He hurriedly issued the task of defeating Donggong Ming Yue in his mind.
[Task]
Defeat Donggong Ming Yue.
Reward: Enhancement of Thunder Intent Realm, 2 drops of Millennium Spirit Dew.
Accept: Yes/No
When Lu Yi saw the task reward, he was stunned for a moment and felt quite astonished.
The reward had changed.
The previous reward for defeating Junior Sister Ming Yue was merely 5 drops of Centennial Spiritual Dew and a wisp of Thunder Intent.
But now, it had turned into 2 drops of Millennium Spirit Dew?!
It was known that Centennial Spiritual Dew and Millennium Spirit Dew are completely different!
How could the reward increase so much?
Lu Yi found it hard to believe and then he thought of something. The difference between then and now was probably that Junior Sister Ming Yue's cultivation base had enhanced to Qi Cultivation Eleventh Layer.
So, if the strength of the task target increased, would the reward increase too?
Lu Yi's thoughts flowed, giving rise to many bold ideas.
Originally, he had been worried that as his own strength increased too quickly, the difficulty to obtain other rewards would become higher; now, it seemed that he could perhaps help the task target enhance their cultivation base, thereby increasing the rewards from task completions.
This could be quite good.
To be honest, Lu Yi currently had a lot of resources he didn't use much, such as Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixir which he could occasionally get as a task reward, and he could get dozens of drops of Centennial Spiritual Dew each month from the Trial Tower. Last time he gave some to Old Lu and his mom, and this time he had accumulated another two to three hundred drops.
Lu Yi was currently using Millennium Spirit Dew for cultivation, so these resources had always been left in the corner, unused.
Not to mention the Top-grade Qi Condensation Elixirs that Lu Yi took monthly from the Resource Hall as a disguise, which had almost piled up into a small mountain.
These resources could be used to aid others in their cultivation, of course, the target had to be someone who could fetch him task rewards, like Junior Sister Ming Yue, for example.
Once Junior Sister Ming Yue's strength became stronger, he could get more rewards from completing tasks.
Lu Yi felt he needed to go out and undertake some sect tasks; only by doing so could he have a reason to obtain these resources.
Otherwise, constantly producing Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixirs and Centennial Spiritual Dew out of nowhere wasn't quite appropriate.
Lu Yi accepted the task and practiced together with Donggong Ming Yue.
Having advanced to the Qi Cultivation Eleventh Layer, Donggong Ming Yue's strength had greatly improved since before, but compared to Lu Yi, the gap grew even larger.
After all, Lu Yi's foundation was too strong, coupled with his sword intent being enhanced to over 20%, even though Donggong Ming Yue had an Innate Thunder Spirit Body, she couldn't compete.
Lu Yi, not wanting Donggong Ming Yue to lose confidence in her cultivation, sparred with her for a while before defeating her.
After the practice, Donggong Ming Yue sat down on the ground sweaty and panting heavily; sitting beside Lu Yi, she looked at him and laughed, "Junior Brother Lu Yi, your strength is getting stronger."
Initially, Lu Yi's strength was obviously not as good as hers, but within a short year, he had grown to this extent.
This made Donggong Ming Yue feel somewhat defeated, especially since she was an Innate Thunder Spirit Body.
But thinking about how Lu Yi had increased his sword intent to more than 20%, Donggong Ming Yue felt a mix of shock and admiration.
Lu Yi helplessly said, "You should call me Senior Brother."
Donggong Ming Yue rolled her eyes and giggled, "I've been calling you Junior Brother for a year; how easy do you think it is to change back? Right, Senior Brother Lu Yi~"
Lu Yi: "..."
The two chatted for a while and rested for a while before Donggong Ming Yue bid farewell to Lu Yi, and each went back to their cultivation.
Since Donggong Ming Yue had come out of seclusion, Lu Yi had more practice tasks each day, and he accumulated more Millennium Spirit Dew, allowing him to cultivate without any reservations. His understanding of the Thunder Intent Realm also began to rise again.
During this period, Lu Yi visited his master every month to listen to him expound on the Dao and achieve moments of sudden enlightenment. He also made trips to Elder Ming to improve his sword intent.
The rest of the time, Lu Yi was cultivating steadily. He was not only improving his cultivation base but also enhancing various magic skills and cultivation techniques.
The Concentrating Spirit Dew finally reached its extreme level. The Concentrating Spirit Dew brewed at this level was extremely effective in enhancing spiritual power. Lu Yi drank it continuously, even feeling a faint trace of his third eye opening at his brow.
It's important to know that this was a sign of a transformation in spiritual power, a feat not achievable at his current realm. If word got out, it would be enough to astonish others.
Besides this, Lu Yi also relentlessly practiced the Thunder Shadow Step, using most of the moments of sudden enlightenment he received on this technique.
Eventually, he perfected the Thunder Shadow Step to an extreme level, its power remarkable.
Four months later, Lu Yi broke the second Heavenly Tao Limitation, achieving the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer.
The reward for breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer was naturally Taoist Energy, but this time it was not just one strand, but two.
Lu Yi saved all three strands of Taoist Energy, planning to use them all for Foundation Establishment. By then, his foundation would probably be unmatched.
After breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer, and with the year coming to an end, Lu Yi planned to take on a sect task, which would be a good timing to take out treasures like the Centennial Spirit Dew to help Junior Sister Ming Yue cultivate.
Due to resource limitations, Donggong Ming Yue's progress in cultivation over these four months wasn't great.
After Lu Yi broke through to the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer, the rewards for practice tasks decreased again, becoming one drop of Millennium Spirit Dew and the Thunder Intent.
Lu Yi found this change hard to accept.
This time, under the pretext of seeking a fortuitous opportunity, he did not invite Jiang Fan, Bai Yulong, or even Donggong Ming Yue.
He went to the Affairs Hall alone and took on a task.
To leave traces, the task Lu Yi accepted was to go to the area where it was easiest to find opportunities.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
It was an extremely vast mountain range that spanned the entire Eastern Domain, a part of which lay in Qingzhou, and a small part of the outer ranges was within the territory of the White Cloud Sect, a good distance from the sect itself.
Inside there were numerous fierce beasts and plenty of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; legend had it that in the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, there were exotic beasts left from ancient times, as well as the relics of powerful individuals.
However, the core area of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range was a forbidden zone. After a Great Mahayana cultivator entered, they never came out.
Since then, no one dared to venture into the core of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Going there for a task, it would not be easy to encounter fellow sect members; wouldn't it be easy to make up a story then?
Lu Yi congratulated himself on his cunning.
The task he accepted was to find a precious Spirit Grass called Heavenly Star Grass in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Having accepted the sect task, Lu Yi naturally did not forget to issue a task for himself as well.
He muttered to himself, "I must find the Heavenly Star Grass."
Lines of text appeared on the panel.
Lu Yi stared at the task reward, stunned for a moment, somewhat astonished.
He hadn't expected the reward to be this thing.
