Lin Fei arrived at the Task Hall. Unexpectedly, there weren't many people in there. Because outer sect disciples didn't even have the qualifications to take on tasks. Only inner sect disciples, true disciples, and some elders were qualified to take them.

For outer sect disciples, they need to practice step by step until they enter the inner sect. This also showed the Ancient Origin Sect's attitude towards outer sect disciples. It was like a selection place. Among the countless disciples of the outer sect, select those with outstanding potential and promote them to the inner sect. Only then could they be considered true disciples of the Ancient Origin Sect.

On the wall, there were some tasks. There could be private tasks or tasks issued by the sect. However, some tasks were published privately. The contribution points were relatively low.

For example, some true disciples needed some heavenly treasures and there were none in the Treasure Exchange Pavilion. So they submitted tasks, but the contribution points were not much. And, these kinds of tasks were usually more complex.

Sect tasks provide many more contribution points. However, to receive a sect task there was also a special requirement. It was not something one could take at will.

And, many were investigation tasks. One had to spend a lot of energy and time. And it was not necessarily clear. For example, Lin Fei saw a task.

"Investigate the Foggy Sea, the traces of three missing true disciples. Find clues, and you can get 3,000 contribution points. Find the true disciples, and you can get 10,000 contribution points."

This contribution point, indeed, was very generous. Even, Lin Fei was moved. However, of the Foggy Sea, Lin Fei also had heard. It was not in the Tianqi Country. That is to say, it was not within the power range of the Ancient Origin Sect.

Those three true disciples had even been missing for a year. Even with 10,000 contribution points, most people would not be willing to take on this task. However, this also reflected the Ancient Origin Sect's emphasis on true disciples. Just missing, it offered 10,000 contribution points. That's a big shot!

Lin Fei needed at least fourteen Essence Enhancement Pills to break through to the middle stage of Martial Saint.

Lin Fei did a task not just wanting to get over a thousand contribution points, he also hoped that going out once could get enough contribution points. After all, after reaching the middle stage of Martial Saint, he still needed to continue practicing.

Essence Enhancement Pills seemed to be effective for the middle stage of Martial Saint as well. Therefore, Lin Fei continued to look for tasks.

Some investigation tasks were too complicated and draining. Lin Fei didn't even look at them.

Having gone through all the options, finally, Lin Fei found a task that seemed suitable for him.

"In the Imperial City of Tianqi Country, occasionally martial artists at the Martial Saint level disappear. Even members of the royal family are among them. Now, everyone in the Imperial City is in fear, willing to give out 10,000 contribution points to issue a task. They hope that a Martial Saint from the Ancient Origin Sect will go to the Imperial City, find the missing people, and deal with the true culprit behind the scenes. The royal family suspects that the real culprit behind the scenes is powerful. To take on this task, you need to be at the top Martial Saint level."

Lin Fei saw this task. It was a task issued by the royal family. The royal family of Tianqi Country had a close relationship with the Ancient Origin Sect. Many members of the royal family were outer, inner, or even true disciples of the Ancient Origin Sect. By rights, the strength of the royal family was not weak. Unexpectedly, they still needed to issue a task, asking for help from the Ancient Origin Sect.

Normally, if a major event occurred in the royal family, the Ancient Origin Sect would send a sect expert to investigate. However, these were just some missing cases. Even if they involve members of the royal family, they were not core members They did not affect the normal operation. Therefore, the Ancient Origin Sect did not send a sect expert to investigate. They just let the royal family solve it themselves. The royal family could only issue tasks. Fortunately, the royal family had accumulated a lot. 10,000 contribution points were not a problem.

Lin Fei's eyes lit up. Although it was also an investigation task, the scope was much smaller. It was just in the Imperial City. Moreover, there were Martial Saints missing. There must be a true culprit behind it.

As long as it was confirmed to be in the Imperial City, then Lin Fei didn't have to search all over the place, wasting time and energy, and even in the end not finding any clues. It was just in the Imperial City.

Lin Fei thought it wouldn't be a problem. Although his saber momentum couldn't cover the entire Imperial City, he could cover it multiple times if necessary. He would always find the true culprit.

Moreover, 10,000 contribution points was definitely not a small amount. Only the royal family, with their wealth and influence, could make such a big offer. After all, the contribution points of the Ancient Origin Sect were very precious.

However, the task required a top Martial Saint to take on. This is a basic condition. Lin Fei didn't know if he now met the condition of a top Martial Saint.

A topMartial Saint should be an existence that is infinitely close to condensing an Energy Flower, Qi Flower. Like Ao Yunxiao, who was a top Martial Saint.

As for Martial Saints who had condensed Energy Flower, and Qi Flower, they were generally referred to as Limit Martial Saints, implying one aspect had reached its limit.

Lin Fei's current cultivation level was only at the early stage of Martial Saint. Although his physical body and blood essence were vast, he hadn't reached the point of condensing an Energy Flower.

However, Lin Fei's saber momentum was in transcendence, this was his biggest advantage. Lin Fei didn't hesitate, he directly went to ask the elder of the task hall. Therefore, Lin Fei walked up to the two elders in the task hall. He pulled out the identity token of the outer sect elder.

"Elder, I want to take the task of investigating the Imperial City," Lin Fei said directly.

"The task of investigating the Imperial City?"

The elder looked up and glanced at Lin Fei.

"It requires a top Martial Saint to accept. You are an outer sect elder...Hmm? 'Dao Seeker' Lin Fei?"

The elder in the task hall was slightly surprised. Then, another elder came over. The two discussed for a while. Finally, they nodded and said: "Elder Lin, you just joined the outer sect, and your cultivation level has not been confirmed to reach the top Martial Saint level. Normally, you wouldn't be allowed to accept this task. However, you recently defeated Ao Yunxiao. Ao Yunxiao is a true top Martial Saint. Since you can defeat Ao Yunxiao, your strength must have reached the level of a top Martial Saint. Therefore, you can accept this task."

This was the advantage of having a reputation. Even if they hadn't seen Lin Fei, they knew that "Dao Seeker" Lin Fei's strength was extraordinary. Therefore, others were not eligible to take this task. But Lin Fei was eligible!

"There is no time limit for this task. After the task is completed, the royal family will naturally send out a message to the Ancient Origin Sect. Then, you can come to collect the contribution points. If the task is not completed, you must also come to the task hall to abandon the task."

Lin Fei nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, Lin Fei made a note and received the token for the task. When the time came, he just needed to show the token at the Imperial City. The royal family would know that Lin Fei was a Martial Saint from Ancient Origin Sect who came to take the task. They would certainly cooperate with Lin Fei in investigating the case of the missing Martial Saint in the Imperial City.

"By the way, has anyone else taken this task before?"

Lin Fei suddenly asked.

"You are the first Martial Saint to take this task."

The elder shook his head.

"The first one?"

A strange light flashed in Lin Fei's eyes. He could tell this task had been issued for some time. Why was he the first Martial Saint to take the task? 10,000 contribution points. For many Martial Saints, it's a large number.

The elder of the task hall laughed and said, "Hahaha, there must be Martial Saints who want to take this task. But they need to have the qualifications. Do you think that any Martial Saints in Ancient Origin Sect can be called a top Martial Saint? They must be evaluated by us. Otherwise, they are not qualified to take the task."

Lin Fei understood. There were indeed many Martial Saints in Ancient Origin Sect. But there weren't so many that could be called top Martial Saints.

10,000 contribution points were indeed a lot, but those top Martial Saints were all busy condensing Essence Flower or Qi Flower. Few of them would do this task. It could be considered Lin Fei's luck.

"Thank you, both elders."

After saying that, Lin Fei left the task hall with the token.
