Chapter 280 Mission System
“Yun Wenlong, Yun Wenfeng—based on the family’s spiritual-root reward system, you are
awarded six Embryo Breath Pills and a cup of Purple Jade Spiritual Wine each.”
“Yun Wenxin, this time you are awarded four Embryo Breath Pills and a cup of Purple Jade
Spiritual Wine.”
“Yun Wenyuan, this time you are awarded four Embryo Breath Pills and a cup of Purple Jade
Spiritual Wine.”
“Yun Wenshan, this time you are awarded three Embryo Breath Pills and a cup of Purple Jade
Spiritual Wine.”
“Yun Wenli, this time you are awarded two Embryo Breath Pills and a cup of Purple Jade
Spiritual Wine.”
…
Yun Wenxuan held a list in his hands as he read out the names of his younger siblings and
distributed their rewards accordingly.
On either side of him, Yun Wenyu and Yun Wenrun helped distribute the pills and wine to the
recipients.
The spiritual-rooted members of the Yun clan, their cheeks flushed with excitement, eagerly
accepted their rewards. Even those who hadn’t performed as well in cultivation didn’t show
jealousy toward their more accomplished siblings.
Instead, they silently cheered themselves on, vowing to surpass their siblings one day with hard
work and dedication.
“With these Embryo Breath Pills and spiritual wine from the family’s reward system, I’ll be able
to break through to the sixth level of the Embryo Breath Stage within half a month,” Yun
Wenlong muttered to himself as he quietly returned to his seat, his eyes filled with
determination.
“Big Brother Wenlong, you’ve got so many pills. Couldn’t you spare a few for your poor little
brother?”
As Yun Wenlong sat down, planning his next closed-door cultivation session, Yun Wenyuan
sidled up to him with a grin.
“Go away!”
Yun Wenlong gave him a stern look, shoving his younger brother’s face aside.
“Big Sister Wenfeng, you’re the best! Surely, you’d be willing to help your poor little brother,
right?”
Seeing no luck with Yun Wenlong, Yun Wenyuan turned to Yun Wenfeng, a hopeful look on his
face.
“You want Embryo Breath Pills? Sure, but only if you can beat me in a duel,” Yun Wenfeng
replied with a mischievous smile.
“Forget it! No need to make things difficult for me,” Yun Wenyuan grumbled, his face falling as
he realized he stood no chance against her.
Pfft!
Sitting nearby, Yun Wenxin couldn’t help but giggle at her older brother’s plight, covering her
mouth to stifle her laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Yun Wenyuan snapped, turning to pinch his younger sister’s cheek
in mock annoyance.
“Ow! You’re so mean, Big Brother Wenyuan!”
Yun Wenxin slapped his hand away and retaliated by biting his arm, making him yelp in pain.
“Alright, that’s enough, both of you! Big Brother Wenxuan is about to make an announcement,”
Yun Wenlong said, his tone serious as he separated his two squabbling siblings.
Hearing this, Yun Wenyuan and Yun Wenxin quickly stopped their antics and sat back down,
straightening up like obedient children.
The other spiritual-rooted members of the Yun clan also turned their attention to Yun Wenxuan,
waiting for him to speak.
“A few weeks ago, the elders of our clan came together to discuss a new system that will affect
every spiritual-rooted member of the family,” Yun Wenxuan began, his tone calm and
authoritative.
“From now on, the family will assign various tasks. Completing these tasks successfully will earn
you corresponding rewards.
The more tasks you complete, the more rewards you’ll earn.
In addition, the difficulty of the tasks will determine the amount of the reward.
For now, the family has categorized the tasks into three levels: A, B, and C.
A-level tasks are the most difficult and involve missions such as hunting demons or subduing
monsters.
B-level tasks are of medium difficulty, involving activities like alchemy, artifact forging, or spiritual
plant cultivation within the clan.
C-level tasks are the simplest and focus on contributions to the family’s infrastructure and
development.”
“Moving forward, tasks will be issued by the family and posted in the cultivation tower.
Once tasks are made available, you can choose which ones to undertake.
But remember—only accept tasks within your capability. Don’t take unnecessary risks,” Yun
Wenxuan advised with a smile as he addressed his younger siblings.
The new task-and-reward system had been devised after extensive discussions among the clan
elders, including Yun Yunyang.
The goal was to ensure that the family’s spiritual-rooted members didn’t grow complacent or
lazy.
This system would teach them self-reliance while also contributing to the growth of the family,
ensuring mutual benefit for both individuals and the clan as a whole.
The implementation of the new task system aimed to ensure fairness and equal opportunity for
all.
“This is great! Now, the more I contribute to the family, the more resources I can earn, and my
cultivation speed will skyrocket!”
“Haha! Once the tasks are released, I’ll pick a simple one right away, like helping the family
cultivate spiritual plants.”
“I need to head to the library and study up on artifact forging. The more I learn, the more I can
contribute!”
The moment Yun Wenxuan announced the family’s new task-and-reward system, the gathered
spiritual-rooted members of the Yun clan were abuzz with excitement.
Many were already eager to accept tasks and earn cultivation resources, while others planned
to delve into books on alchemy, artifact forging, spiritual plant cultivation, and formation
techniques to enhance their skills.
Their goal was to make greater contributions to the family and, in turn, earn more rewards to
strengthen themselves further.
Seeing the enthusiasm among his siblings, Yun Wenxuan couldn’t help but smile. The new
system would undoubtedly increase the motivation of the clan’s spiritual-rooted members,
encouraging them to actively participate in tasks that benefited the family.
With such drive, the Yun family was bound to grow stronger in the future.
“Alright, that’s all for today’s announcements!”
“Your training session for the day is officially over!”
“The rest of your time is yours to arrange.
You can pursue other activities, head to the library to read, or go to the cultivation tower for
closed-door training.”
Having concluded his briefing, Yun Wenxuan prepared to dismiss his siblings, giving them the
freedom to manage their own time.
However, before they could disperse, an aged voice drifted into the training ground:
“The spiritual-rooted members of the Yun family are truly full of vitality.”
The sudden voice instantly drew the attention of Yun Wenxuan, Yun Wenyu, Yun Wenrun, and
the other spiritual-rooted descendants.
Following the voice, they turned to see an elderly man with a hunched posture standing quietly
at the edge of the training ground.
The old man’s hair was entirely gray, his face deeply wrinkled. His triangular eyes gleamed with
a chilling, venomous light, like a serpent poised to strike.
Noticing the stranger’s sinister presence, Yun Wenxuan immediately moved to shield his
siblings, his expression tense and guarded.
“Who are you?” he asked coldly.
“No one of consequence. Just a rogue cultivator,” the old man replied with a faint smile.
“What brings you here?”
“Nothing much. I’ve merely been tasked with dealing with the spiritual-rooted members of the
Yun Cang Yun clan,” the old man said casually, his tone dripping with malice.
“Big Brother Wenxuan, there are several others who’ve infiltrated the Yun Clan Village. They’re
hiding in the shadows,” Yun Wenyu said, her grip tightening on her spiritual weapon, a long
sword.
Beside her, Yun Wenrun also readied her long blade, her gaze sharp and vigilant.
While keeping a close eye on the hunched old man, Yun Wenyu’s spiritual sense detected the
presence of twelve rogue cultivators hiding nearby. Their cultivation levels ranged from the fifth
to the seventh level of the Embryo Breath Stage.
“I’m aware,” Yun Wenxuan replied.
“This old man seems to be the strongest among them. He’s at the first level of the Qi Refining
Stage,” Yun Wenyu added.
Before Yun Wenyu could finish her thought, Yun Wenxuan nodded, already having sensed the
hidden enemies.
The rogue cultivators in the shadows weren’t a significant threat—his sisters could handle them.
The real danger lay in the hunched old man, whose cultivation at the Qi Refining Stage far
exceeded his own.
Although Yun Wenxuan was at the peak of the ninth level of the Embryo Breath Stage and had
mastered the Hundred Battles Spear Technique taught by his uncle Yun Yantian, he knew he
was no match for a Qi Refining Stage cultivator.
“With Uncle Yantian and Aunt Xue stationed in the village, how did this Qi Refining Stage rogue
cultivator and his group manage to sneak in?”
“Perhaps Uncle Yantian and Aunt Xue encountered other infiltrators and are currently occupied,
unable to stop these intruders,” Yun Wenyu speculated, her brows furrowed.
“But who sent these people? Was it the Canglan Ye clan? Or someone else?”
“Protect Wenlong, Wenfeng, and the others,” Yun Wenxuan instructed, his tone firm. “Don’t let
them get hurt. I’ll handle this old man and try to buy us some time.
Once Uncle Yantian and Aunt Xue are free, they’ll come to our aid.”
“Understood. Be careful, Big Brother!”
“I will,” Yun Wenxuan replied with a nod, determination gleaming in his eyes.
Raising his long spear, he charged forward in a blur, aiming straight for the hunched old man.
