"Five Elements Hall latest bounty mission:
The Andromeda Lava Death Realm has opened, and the Five Elements Hall requires resources from within. Those interested can sign up to go.
Registration requirements: Legal citizen of the Immortal Realm, Immortal Realm strength.
Mission difficulty: Two stars, four stars.
Number of participants: One hundred disciples of the Five Elements Hall, ten thousand registered rogue cultivators.
Mission One: Search for Lava Ore Crystals. Each crystal can be exchanged for ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Spirit stones can also be exchanged for equivalent magical treasures from the Five Elements Hall. (Two stars)
Mission Two: Search for Lava Fire Lotuses. Lava Fire Lotuses are usually accompanied by extremely powerful Lava Giants, posing extreme danger. It is recommended to form teams or not to go.
One Lava Fire Lotus can be exchanged for one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones and will add one bonus point to the Five Elements Hall assessment. (Four stars)"
On the screen, these were the only pieces of information. However, these few words caused some of the people below to cheer with delight, while others hung their heads in dejection.
"What does this mean?"
Wan Lei was somewhat confused.
"See, you don't understand again. It's so obvious. Go to the Lava Death Realm, find those two things, and then come here to exchange them for spirit stones. They are both great treasures for refining artifacts and cultivation. The Five Elements Hall buys them to use for their disciples' cultivation.
Of course, you can also choose not to hand them in and keep them for your own cultivation. However, I don't think any of you are of the fire attribute, so they won't be of much use to you.
As for the difficulty, there is naturally some. For those who don't want to take risks, they can do the simpler mission. For those who want to take risks and aren't afraid of death, they can challenge the giants.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, missions to kill demon beasts, and the Northern Sea Demon Race Heavenly Court doesn't even protest?"
"No, I mean, what does that bonus point mean?"
"That, the Five Elements Hall occasionally releases very dangerous missions with high difficulty. But if you can complete them and survive, you'll be given some bonus points.
Bonus points cannot be transferred; they can only be used by yourself.
Every year, countless people want to join the Five Elements Hall. After all, it's the Five Elements Hall. Once you successfully join, you'll instantly transform from a commoner into one of the most honored individuals in the Prime Plane.
But the Five Elements Hall only recruits geniuses with the best potential. The disciples of the Five Elements Hall are all heaven-defying. If placed anywhere else, they would be considered monstrous. One can imagine how difficult the assessment is. Recruiting even one out of a million people is considered good.
These assessments require your score to pass a certain threshold to enter. But if your score is a few or a dozen points short, and you happen to have bonus points, then the bonus points become useful.
If your score, including the bonus points, passes the threshold, you will also be considered to have passed."
"Oh, that's amazing. With such great rewards, there must be a lot of people signing up this time."
"No, no, no. These bonus points are optional. People generally don't pay much attention to them. After all, one knows their own aptitude, right?
Those are people who are hundreds or thousands of points short. Having these few bonus points is useless. Like me, although I broke through to six stars two thousand years ago, the Five Elements Hall wants those who became immortals in two or three hundred years. I have no chance.
However, you two can try. You ascended from the Middle Spirit Plane, so your aptitude must be incredibly good, especially since it's the Middle Spirit Plane.
You two should take this mission. I'll take it too. It'll be good to get some ore to exchange for some magical treasures produced by the Five Elements Hall, as those are priceless."
"Alright, let's sign up then. We're new here anyway, and we have nothing else to do. These ore crystals should be useful for us, and also for the Fire Phoenix, since she's also a Lava Giant."
"Okay, let's go sign up."
Da Da spoke as he prepared to register, but then suddenly turned his head, chuckled twice awkwardly,
"Look at my memory, you two haven't gotten your identification cards yet. You can't register without an ID card. Let's go get your ID cards first."
Da Da led Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu around the crowd and entered the magnificent building.
The first thing that greeted them was a large stone carving of a symbol: a circle with a five-pointed star inside.
The building was also very lively, with all sorts of staff busy working on a large screen. Da Da, following the signs, led Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu through a corridor to the eighth floor.
There were no elevators, as everyone who came here was a cultivator.
Upon reaching the eighth floor, other areas were bustling with activity, while a corner area was very quiet. A sign hung there that read "ID Card Processing Office."
"ID cards can be processed in various countries and cities, and then reported centrally. The Five Elements Hall branch can also process them. I brought you here this time mainly to broaden your horizons."
Da Da explained why the place was so quiet.
"Hello, who needs processing?"
"The two of us."
Wan Lei took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped. He moved to an open space, opened the Fate Diagram, and released the three women, including Fire Phoenix.
"Whoa, you even brought people to sneak into the Immortal Realm. Impressive, impressive."
Da Da laughed heartily.
Sneaking was just a joke. It was only considered smuggling if people were taken to another plane without payment or official record. Since they had arrived in the Immortal Realm via the Ascension Light Pillar, they were not considered to have smuggled.
"Is this the Immortal Realm?"
Fire Phoenix and the other two widened their eyes, looking around at everything with immense curiosity.
"Yes, we're getting our ID cards first."
Wan Lei grinned and approached the beautiful young lady at the processing desk, saying,
"The five of us need processing."
"Did you just arrive in the Immortal Realm? You're already at the Immortal Realm cultivation level and don't have ID cards. You must have ascended, right?"
The young lady's eyes were wide, looking at Wan Lei and the others with the curiosity of a child.
"It's been many years since we've had ascended cultivators here. The Immortal Realm is too vast, and ascension involves random teleportation. It's truly rare for anyone to be teleported to this remote place."
"Uh... what do we need to do?"
"Oh, please have a seat."
The young lady with large, bright eyes, smiling, invited him to sit.
Wan Lei sat down on the chair, and a screen rose in front of him, displaying his image in the top left corner.
"Name."
"Wan Lei."
"Gender."
"...Huh?"
"Race."
"..."
Wan Lei looked up, staring at Da Da in surprise,
"What race am I?"
Da Da's forehead was covered in black lines,
"Aren't you f*cking human?"
"Oh, oh, human."
The young lady at the processing desk glanced at Wan Lei as if he were an idiot, then asked,
"Hometown."
"...What is hometown?"
"It means where are you from?"
"Lei Feng Realm."
"When did you ascend?"
"Today."
Then, the information on the screen in front of Wan Lei was filled in.
"Wan Lei, male, human, Lei Feng Realm, Immortal Venerable Era 50,132, May 20th."
Following that, a piece of material resembling a jade slip was produced and placed before Wan Lei.
"This Immortal Venerable Era is calculated from the year the Immortal Venerable became the sole deity, considered a new epoch."
