Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 254 - 252: Su Wan’s Doubts, the Unattainable Ten-Star Task

Chapter 254: Chapter 252: Su Wan’s Doubts, the Unattainable Ten-Star Task

Su Wan’s gaze just swept over the Red Cloud Fairy ahead before moving on.

Then, her attention focused on the person who walked up afterward.

When her gaze fell on that man, Su Wan was also taken aback.

Judging from his appearance, this junior brother... is he perhaps a bit too old?

He looks about thirty years old, older than she should be.

Although accepting disciples doesn’t necessarily depend on age, being young makes them easier to teach, which is a generally accepted point in the Cultivation Realm.

This move by the master... is indeed something Su Wan did not expect.

Could it be that this junior brother actually has great talent, but was a loose cultivator before, unable to find a worthy mentor to guide him?

Many thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and looking at the Red Cloud Fairy stepping onto the open ground, Su Wan quickly saluted, saying, "Greetings, Master, greetings... Junior Brother."

The Red Cloud Fairy turned around and said to Lu Ye behind her: "This is Su Wan, she is also your Senior Sister. If you need assistance in the future, you can often exchange with her."

This was certainly a polite remark.

Lu Ye needing Su Wan’s help?

Nodding slightly, looking at Su Wan who he hadn’t seen for a while, Lu Ye calmly said, "Lu Xuan greets Senior Sister Su Wan."

"So it’s Junior Brother Lu Xuan." Su Wan smiled slightly, took out two pre-prepared Source Crystals from her Storage Ring, and said, "This is a small gift for our first meeting, I hope you don’t mind it, Junior Brother."

Looking at those two Source Crystals, Lu Ye was somewhat surprised.

Given Su Wan’s family background, having Source Crystals wasn’t surprising, but she probably didn’t have many.

After all, in the Northern Territory, Source Crystal resources are naturally scarce. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Being able to take out two as a meeting gift was already beyond Lu Ye’s expectations.

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Since it was a meeting gift, Lu Ye accepted it.

...

A moment later, the Red Cloud Fairy flew away.

She did want to personally take Lu Ye to see the prepared cave mansion, but Su Wan was still here.

If she acted too differently from her usual behavior in the sect... it might arouse Su Wan’s suspicion.

So, the Red Cloud Fairy left, leaving the rest to Su Wan.

"Junior Brother, follow me, I’ll take you to see your future cave mansion."

Su Wan led the way, the two walking one behind the other, and after a while, they arrived at a cave mansion with an array restriction.

As Su Wan took out a Cave Mansion Jade Token and unlocked the restriction, a rich Heaven and Earth Source Qi immediately surged out from inside.

This sight made Lu Ye’s eyes slightly brighten.

Where had he ever enjoyed such a cave mansion equipped with a Spirit Gathering Array before?

He always found some suitable nook at the foot of a mountain about a hundred miles outside the city for cultivation, where Source Qi was as thin as water.

Handing over the jade token to Lu Ye, Su Wan smiled and said, "Henceforth, this will be your cave mansion. Go in and take a look, and if anything’s missing, I can help you find it."

Taking the token, Lu Ye walked into the cave mansion and found that the interior was quite spacious.

It had a living room, a cultivation room, and even a small courtyard, all filled with abundant Heaven and Earth Source Qi, intoxicating to breathe in.

After a slight glance around, Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction, "Nothing is lacking, thank you, Senior Sister."

Watching Lu Ye walk into the cave mansion, Su Wan also felt a faint strange sensation bubbling in her heart.

Although it seemed like a first meeting, whether it was his way of speaking or his entire demeanor...

It all gave Su Wan a sense of having seen him somewhere before.

"What’s happening here?"

Muttering to herself, she thought about it for a moment but couldn’t find a clue, so Su Wan temporarily didn’t focus on this matter too much.

After leaving the cave mansion, Lu Ye asked, "By the way, Senior Sister, what’s the procedure for accepting tasks?"

This question caught Su Wan by surprise. He just joined the sect and was already interested in taking tasks?

Shouldn’t he focus on cultivation first, improving his realm before considering these things?

However, everyone makes different choices, and Su Wan didn’t say that this new junior brother’s choice was bad, but instead replied.

"I happen to have time, I can take you."

...

On the way to the Task Hall, Su Wan also explained the difficulty levels of the sect tasks.

"Sect tasks are divided into Nine Stars, with the first three star levels generally recommended for disciples in the Condensing Origin Realm. Middle Three Stars is recommended for those in the Postnatal Realm, Upper Three Stars is safest for disciples in the Innate Realm."

"There are a total of nine star levels?" Lu Ye nodded slightly, speaking in a calm voice.

To quickly accumulate a large amount of points, it seems he must take as many Upper Three Star tasks as possible.

Watching Lu Ye’s calm demeanor, Su Wan pondered for a moment, saying.

"Actually, above Upper Three Star tasks, there’s another task, known within the sect as the Ten-Star Task!"

"However, due to its extreme difficulty, only those with extraordinarily powerful strength at the Innate Realm or even Grandmaster Realm have a chance to complete it, so it’s generally assumed to not exist."

Hearing this, Lu Ye’s heart was slightly stirred. A Ten-Star Task?

He didn’t have much time to linger in the Red Cloud Sect, so if there was a way to shorten the time, it would naturally be the best.

"Senior Sister, I’m a bit curious about this Ten-Star Task."

Su Wan nodded and said, "The Ten-Star Task is not fixed. Every once in a while, if the previous Ten-Star Task hasn’t been taken, it will be replaced with new task conditions."

"I guess this task is also set up to ensure that the few Innate Realm disciples in the sect don’t consider themselves capable of completing Upper Three Star tasks and thus become overly proud."

Their pace towards the Task Hall was not slow, speaking all the way until they arrived at the plaza in front of the Task Hall.

The Task Hall receives a plethora of new tasks daily, making it the liveliest place in the sect, with disciples constantly coming and going.

However, Su Wan’s arrival still instantly drew many eyes.

As a true disciple under the Sect Leader, with an Innate Sixth Layer strength, she was undoubtedly the sect’s preeminent figure, a top talent.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Su."

As they approached, many disciples saluted.

When they saw a stranger walking behind Su Wan, many revealed a hint of confusion.

Who is this person?

Some well-informed individuals had previously witnessed the Red Cloud Fairy bringing Lu Ye to the summit of the Sect Leader Peak.

Now they showed a look of realization, it seemed this person was indeed a newly accepted disciple of the Sect Leader.

Spreading the news among their companions, it quickly caused a stir of shock, spreading rapidly.

"The Sect Leader, after so many years... accepted a new disciple again?!"

"But, isn’t this person a bit too old, having passed the age of mouldable talent?"

"Hush, the Sect Leader’s actions are not for us to question."

...

Inside the Task Hall.

Su Wan introduced, "That’s the display array of the Task Hall, where all the tasks are shown in rotation."

"Only the current Ten-Star Task... is fixed at the top."
