Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 38: Family Missions
When Ethan narrated his fortuitous encounter to Merrick, he not only told about his increased cultivation, but he also told about the Cultivation Techniques, basic knowledge about the Spirit Plants, which were the Welcome Gift from the Gentle Voice.
Thus, Merrick believed Ethan was able to complete the task of the Secret Realm with the help of those gifts along with his Cultivation Talent related to Spirit Plants.
When Merrick convinced his Second Brother Edwin, he mentioned all these things and even added a few things, exaggerating Ethan's talent in the Spirit Plants.
Therefore, Edwin Lin has come up with a task for Ethan which is related to Spirit Plants.
"I will complete the task and won't disappoint the Family Head."
On the other hand, Ethan was happy because he was confident in completing the task.
He knew that becoming an Elder of the Lin Family was not easy as there would be others questioning his abilities.
By nurturing a Rank 3 Spirit Plant, along with his cultivation, it was enough quality to shut everyone's mouths.
"Good."
Edwin was satisfied with Ethan's confidence in completing the task as he added, "While completing the task, you can have this courtyard and even visit the Lin Family's Library to read about the Spirit Plants and learn some basic cultivation techniques."
"Thank you, Family Head."
Ethan heaved a sigh of relief that he could still keep his courtyard. Hence, he thanked Edwin and wanted to ask something, but he kept his mouth shut.
"Is there anything else you want to ask me?"
Edwin noticed Ethan's hesitation and asked him about it.
He looked at Merrick, who nodded his head to speak before Ethan finally spoke, "Family Head, if you don't mind, can I take some missions related to Spirit Plants to contribute to the Family?"
"Of course, you can, and you have to do it while taking your Elder Promotion Mission."
Edwin turned to Merrick and said, "Big Brother, you don't have to give him easy missions just because you like him."
"Yes, Family Head."
Merrick replied with a smile as he secretly gave a thumbs up to Ethan.
"Rowan, let's go. I have a mission for you. You have to go to the Green Fire Sect....."
Soon, Edwin left with Rowan as they talked about some mission related to the Green Fire Sect.
"Ethan, looks like my Second Brother has taken a liking to you."
After the two brothers left, Merrick told Ethan, "If not, he would have assigned a tougher assessment mission for you."
"...."
Ethan remained silent as he heard Merrick continue speaking, "The Clearheart Lotus is a Special Rank 3 Spirit Plant which is much easier to nurture compared to the regular Rank 3 Spirit Plants."
"More importantly, it has the same maturity period of most Rank 2 Spirit Plants, which is six months."
"If you use your Green Pulse Art, you can easily harvest it in less than four months."
Merrick was in a good mood, making him speak nonstop, telling Ethan how he could become an Elder within four months.
"Really?"
Ethan was pleasantly surprised with the specialty of the Clearheart Lotus.
Actually, Ethan could get all this information once he starts nurturing the Clearheart Lotus Seed. For now, he could only see the basic information like its name and its rank.
"As for the missions related to the Spirit Plants, you can pick one for yourself."
Soon, Merrick gave Ethan a thin booklet made up of leaves and each leaf contained some words on it.
...
[Family Mission : Cultivate Spirit Grass (Rank 1)]
[Mission Type: Easy and always ongoing]
[Reward: 1 Spirit Stone per Spirit Grass]
...
[Family Mission : Cultivate Skydew Grass (Rank 1)]

There were more than a dozen missions on the leaf booklet, and all of them were related to nurturing Rank 1 Spirit Plants.
'T-these….are all low-level tasks.'
Ethan looked at Merrick in confusion because just a moment ago, the Family Head had asked him not to give easy tasks.
"For now, start with Rank 1 Spirit Plants until you complete your Elder Promotion Task."
Merrick seemed to sense Ethan's thoughts as he explained, "The task seems easy; however, what if I add a condition that you have to submit at least 100 Perfect Quality Grass or Herbs per month?"
For others, it might be very difficult to have a Perfect Quality Harvest; however, Merrick knew Ethan could easily do it…at least for the Spirit Grass.
The reason why Merrick gave only Rank 1 Missions was not because he didn't trust Ethan; instead, he wanted Ethan to put all his efforts into nurturing the Clearheart Lotus to become the Elder of the Family.
Once Ethan becomes an Elder, Merrick has some great plans for him.
"Yes, Uncle Merrick."
Ethan understood Merrick's intention and nodded his head.
"I have already submitted the 1000 Perfect Quality Spirit Grass you gave to me and got these 3000 Spirit Stones."
After talking for a while, Merrick gave 3000 Spirit Stones to Ethan, pleasantly surprising Ethan.
"A Normal Quality Spirit Grass costs only one Spirit Stone, and a Good Quality Spirit Grass costs one and a half Spirit Stones, whereas a Perfect Quality Spirit Grass costs three Spirit Stones."
Merrick explained why he received 3000 Spirit Stones rather than 1000 Spirit Stones.
"Thank you, Uncle Merrick."
The main reason Ethan was interested in Spirit Farming was because it was the easiest way for him to accumulate Life Points, whereas the income earned by selling the harvested Spirit Plants was considered a bonus.
"Also, you said you didn't have any regular cultivation techniques for your protection, right? It is a special gift from my Third Brother, Rowan Lin."
Merrick didn't stop with the Spirit Stones as he took out a jade slip containing a cultivation technique.
'Verdant Thorn Armour?'
Ethan read the name of the cultivation technique on the jade slip.
"This cultivation technique is not only used for defense, but it can also be used for attacking your enemies."
Merrick briefly explained the cultivation technique, making Ethan repeatedly thank Merrick for all his gifts.
After that, Merrick explained a few things about the family before leaving Ethan's small courtyard.
'Let's plant this Clearheart Lotus Seed.'
Once Merrick left, Ethan planted the Clearheart Lotus Seed in a corner of the Spirit Field to get its complete information.
'Huh? T-this…is this really a Rank 3 Spirit Plant?'
When Ethan saw the information on it, he was pleasantly surprised.
