[Task]:
Ascend the White Sun Peak platform
Reward: Mid Grade Magic Tool Flowing Cloud Boots
Accept: Yes/No
Lu Yi never expected the reward to be so generous, a Mid Grade Magic Tool!
A magic tool... Among the hundreds of thousands of disciples in the White Cloud Sect's outer sect, only a few have magic tools, and those are usually used by Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Because Lu Yi's parents are outer door stewards and Foundation Establishment cultivators, he had a Low Grade magic tool sword. They spent quite a lot to buy that Low Grade magic tool back then.
If Low Grade magic tools are so precious, then how much more so are Mid Grade magic tools?
From what Lu Yi knew, his father, Lu Gaoyang, only had a Mid Grade magic tool sword. Lu Gaoyang treasured it so much that even he could only look and not touch it. His mother didn't even have a Mid Grade magic tool.
And now this task directly offered one. How generous could it be?
Lu Yi thought that today, even if he had to crawl, he must ascend the platform, or he'd feel guilty.
Lu Yi silently accepted the task and once again stepped forward. The outer sect disciples who were originally gathered to watch the show made way for Lu Yi to pass through.
Initially, Lu Yi didn't feel anything. But as he got closer to the platform, he realized something seemed off.
Wait, why was no one stopping him?
This wasn't right. Normally, wouldn't a few outer sect disciples jump out to stop him from getting onto the platform? Plenty of Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer disciples were listening to the sermon below, and they would just watch a Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer disciple get on the platform? That couldn't be good, right?
While walking, Lu Yi noticed the platform was right in front of him, and the people ahead seemed to have no intention of stopping him.
Lu Yi got a bit anxious: Come on, Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer senior brothers and sisters! Where's your dignity? How could you let a Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer rookie get on the platform like this? He was ready to overcome multiple obstacles and get the Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixir, and now this? Really?!
Step by step, Lu Yi walked very slowly, deliberately waiting for someone to jump out and stop him. However, no one did until he reached the stairs before the platform.
Feeling quite disappointed, Lu Yi turned his head to look behind him. Seeing several senior brothers and sisters watching him, he wasn't content and decided to struggle one last time.
He looked around and smiled, saying, "Senior brothers and sisters, I'm really going up?"
Hurry up and stop me! Quickly! Just now!! Lu Yi eagerly waited.
At this moment, a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer senior sister smiled and said, "Junior brother, go ahead. Lin Gang is one of the top among us. If you can beat him, no one here can guarantee a win against you, so we won't stop you."
"Yes, junior brother, the White Cloud Sword Technique in the Transformation stage is indeed formidable. After this sermon, I hope we can discuss Sword Dao."
"In that case, how about including me as well?"
"..."
One by one, the senior brothers and sisters spoke. Lu Yi felt numb. It turned out that senior brother's strength was this fierce? Why didn't they let the weaker ones stop him first?!
Lu Yi felt very unhappy, looked at Lin Gang, and saw Lin Gang smiling at him naively. "Junior brother, we can continue to spar if you have time."
Lu Yi managed to pull out a smile. "Thanks for the kindness of all senior brothers and sisters. In that case, I'll go up."
He turned around, feeling crestfallen, and stepped up the platform stairs one step at a time.
The stairs weren't long, and Lu Yi quickly reached the White Sun Peak platform. The platform was a huge square with many cushions placed on it. At the front of the cushions was a dais, which was the seat for the sermon elder, currently empty.
Many people were already seated on the cushions. Lu Yi noticed that the closer the cushion was to the dais, the stronger the cultivation base of the disciple sitting on it. Some disciples gave off a dangerously powerful aura, while the strength weakened as the seating got further out.
Some disciples were discussing their cultivation insights in groups of three or four, while others were meditating alone. When Lu Yi arrived, some glanced over.
Seeing Lu Yi, those disciples seemed stunned. Some were puzzled, and some frowned.
"Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer?"
"What's going on? How did a Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer junior brother get up here? No one down there stopped him?"
"That shouldn't be possible, right? How could they just watch a junior brother come up? Did they fail to stop him?"
Upon hearing this, many showed surprised expressions, and more people looked at Lu Yi with various glances.
Disciples sitting in the inner circle had glances full of curiosity and interest, while those near the outer circle looked more cautious.
There were only so many spots on the platform, and it was usually full. Now that someone new came up, it meant someone had to leave. Since this Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer junior brother managed to get up here through so many blocking disciples below, it indicated that his strength was not ordinary. The inner circle disciples didn't worry about being pushed off, but the outer circle disciples did. If they were kicked off the platform, it would be utterly humiliating.
Lu Yi looked at the cushions on the platform and thought for a moment. He decided not to be too high-profile. Those senior brothers and sisters inside seemed fierce, and he probably couldn't beat them. It was better to sit somewhere on the outside.
After all, he had to take things one step at a time and achieve his goals one by one. Getting on the platform today made him very satisfied already. He used to sit in the middle of the mountain. This was a big improvement, so he decided to play it safe!
So, Lu Yi found a spot on the edge and sat down, happily looking at his task panel.
[Current Task]
Ascend the White Sun Peak platform
Reward: Mid Grade Magic Tool Flowing Cloud Boots
Completed
Do you want to claim the reward: Yes/No
He had completed the task! He was about to get a Mid Grade Magic Tool!
Though crowded, Lu Yi held back his excitement and didn't claim the reward, planning to do so after returning.
Seeing Lu Yi quietly finding a spot to sit, those who were watching him gradually looked away. However, Lu Yi still felt someone paying attention to him, eager to see if someone would challenge him. If they did, he'd get more rewards.
As for initiating challenges himself, Lu Yi hadn't thought about it. He wasn't the kind of guy to be that high-profile!
Lu Yi waited for a long time, but no one challenged him. However, as more disciples ascended the platform, many noticed Lu Yi's new face and paid attention to him.
Time passed, and more disciples filled the platform, gradually occupying the cushions. The inner circle cultivators were fine, but those in the outer circle frowned upon seeing Lu Yi.
At this moment, a cold voice spoke, "Junior brother, you're sitting in my spot."
Lu Yi turned around and saw a delicate-looking youth staring coldly at him.
Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.
Finally, someone came! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?!
Lu Yi stood up, smiling and saying, "Hello, senior brother. Now this spot is mine."
