"Alright! As you can see, this is going to be our routine for missions from now on. Hm! We are doing the missions so that we are helping someone or contributing to the betterment of the world that we are living in."
Ning Qi lied through his teeth. He just saw those missions as points for growth. He may be a person who will help someone if it is within his capacity. He is not one who looks for people in trouble to help.
[Ding! Helping the world and making the lives of people easier is good karma. Please take this seriously and do it with heart, host.]
Ning Qi was almost stumped on the spot when he received that notification. He couldn't help but smile wryly, but he didn't reassure the system.
He will save those he can and won't bother if he can't. And of course, that is only when it comes to strangers, not his people. It will be an altogether different matter when it comes to that.
He also understood what the system was trying to do with these missions. But could it possibly eliminate all the evil in the world? Nigh impossible.
The system also didn't say anything, even though it probably read all his thoughts.
Some morals are difficult to change, and this is how they evolve as people mature. It's very hard to change. It needs time or something drastic to influence them.
"Of course, that is only half the purpose. The remaining half is for you to gain experience and strength along the way."
After a brief pause from the first sentence, Ning Qi said.
All of them, including Ning Jing, Wen Fen, and Kang Jia, nodded their heads. The three newcomers to the cultivation world, in particular, are brimming with justice.
But the next few words made their faces turn to soar from the excitement quickly.
"Jing, Fen, and Jia still need some practice, and as such, they won't be participating in any of the missions till they complete their training for a month. No arguments regarding this."
Ning Qi blasted the bomb because he felt they weren't ready enough. They aren't like those three, who had him guide them on their first mission. Ning Jing just opened her mouth twice but didn't say anything as she saw her brother being serious.
While Kang Jia and Wen Fen simply smiled and nodded their heads, with warm feelings in their hearts. After all, they are still weak with their level 1 Qi refining realm cultivation.
"From today onward, you all can access these missions through this place. You only need to consider accepting the mission. Your seal will flash on that particular mission and record it..."
Ning Qi slowly explained the process of taking missions, completing missions, and disbursing rewards one by one.
"Hm! Sect master, have you stored your divine energy in those tokens? Is that how we can access our rewards directly without you directly transmitting them? Truly worthy of the sect master."
Kang Xuan said as if he had studied something after nodding his head two or three times.
Everyone looked at him quickly and then at Ning Qi as though waiting for his affirmation.
'What divine energy? What is this old disciple talking about?' Ning Qi thought to himself.
"Yes! It is as Kang Xuan said."
Ning Qi nodded his head after rolling his eyes in his mind.
"But then again, sect master, how are you able to confirm whether the mission is completed successfully or not?"
Nangong Xu raised the question after pondering it for some time too. Ning Jing just keeps looking at them with blinking eyes while holding hands with Wen Fen.
Shen Yue also looked at them, as though thinking, why do these two fellows have so many questions?
"What are you asking, senior brother? Sect master probably has his connections all around the world, or else how would he know about all these troubles to provide us with missions?"
Kang Xuan again said it, making everyone ponder for a moment before they nodded their heads as though they understood it completely now.
"Stop talking and asking too many questions that are unnecessary for you. Just choose a mission that is suitable for your levels and inform me before you set out for the mission."
Ning Qi turned back to check on the missions one by one, no longer bothering with them.

{{ Calamity Level }}
None are available at the moment.
Three missions caught Ning Qi's eye. They are the easy mission for the incoming enemy, the exploration mission, and the disastrous mission.
He knows about the exploration one already, as he already had the idea of exploring the Maoe'r Mountains after coming back from the trek there.
He also knows about the disastrous level mission and how the system decided to make it. But he shook his head because that is a bit much for them to handle sects at that level right now.
"Who is this incoming enemy, though? It is just an easy mission, which means they aren't that strong. But who, in the end, is seeking trouble?"
Ning Qi pondered as he considered the Yan Sect, which he felt was unlikely given that he caused no damage to their property and did not kill their disciple.
He then thought of the Heavenly Wolf Sect, but they showed friendliness. Lastly, the Red Blood sect wouldn't have just sent such weak people, even if they just had their doubts, with their cruel nature and hard ways.
"Sect master! Why are you participating in the missions? Y-you are also rewarding yourself?"
Shen Yue asked, as she already read every mission faster than everyone.
"Yeah! Why are you rewarding yourself, brother? Have you gone silly?"
Ning Jing also commented as she blinked at Ning Qi. She finds it a bit funny how her brother rewards himself.
'giggle'
Both Wen Fen and Kang Jia couldn't help but giggle at the words chosen by Ning Jing.
Nangong Xu and Kang Xuan simply looked at him, as they thought there may be some profound meaning that Ning Qi is going to explain now.
"Nothing! Don't think too much... I just felt bored and decided to participate in some missions too or else my legs will go cramps from sitting all day."
Ning Qi said as he turned his back to get away from there quickly.
Everyone rolled their eyes, especially Nangong Xu, who almost got stumped as he was intently waiting for the 'profound truths'. Kang Xuan simply smiled as he patted Nangong Xu as though consoling him.
"Alright! Carefully choose the missions that you have the confidence to complete and report to me."
Ning Qi finally went upstairs, giving them time to choose missions.
