[Side Mission] Increase your cultivation
Host, how can you do anything with such a low cultivation? Please work hard to increase your cultivation and become a true expert.
Clear condition: Reach the Foundation Realm.
Reward: Sect Foundation Token.
"System, are you just mocking me at this point?" Lin Fan said with a bitter tone in his voice.
But it was hard for him not to be bitter with the words that the system was throwing at him. This was clear disdain towards him from the system!
The system gave a sound that almost sounded like a snort before saying, "Host, everything that the system does is for the benefit of the host. Please do not doubt the system."
Lin Fan felt the strong urge to slap the system's face when he heard this, but it was just too bad that the system didn't have a face for him to slap. So the only thing he could do was take a deep breath and suppress that rage.
However, he had to admit that the system was right.
He had been fine with his current cultivation before, but now that he was deciding to build this dungeon town and rebuilding the Love Sect, his cultivation was indeed quite lacking. After all, whether it was the dungeon town or the Love Sect, they would certainly attract the attention of powerful people.
So if he were to remain at his current level of cultivation…
But even the goal that the system had set for him still wasn't that high since the Foundation Realm was quite low when compared to the true experts of this cultivation realm.
Still, this was a goal that was set by the system, so it must have some plan in mind.
Without knowing it, after arguing with the system for a bit, Lin Fan actually started trusting it more. It was like suddenly gaining a partner that he could squabble with when the going got tough.
After all of this, he finally got out of bed and headed out to the dining room for some breakfast.
The house that he currently lived in was the village chief house that the villagers had built for him. He had wanted to keep staying at the Duanmu mother and daughter's house, but that house was just too cramped for all of them.
However, it actually worked out in the end since he had convinced the Duanmu mother and daughter to move out to live with him.
He couldn't keep watching them stay in that house anymore since it was so broken down, even though he knew that they would have memories in that house. To his surprise, it was actually quite easy to convince them to live with him.
The excuse that he gave was that since she was working for him, he would be offering a room at this large village chief house to her as an employee dorm, but she didn't even need to hear that to agree to moving in with him.
Lin Fan really didn't know what kind of danger he had invited into his home.
When he came down, he found that the girls were already sitting there having breakfast and there was another person who was also there.
When she saw Lin Fan come in, her face couldn't help turning red after remembering what had happened yesterday. She also looked down at her own body and her face turned even more red.
Lin Fan looked closely at her and he found that she was wrapped up much more tightly compared to yesterday. She wasn't showing any skin at all compared to before…
But it was getting cold, so he didn't think too much about it…Even though cultivators didn't really need to worry about the cold since they had their spiritual energy.
The real reason why Mu Bao Bao had wrapped up so tightly was because of the strange marks that had been left all over her body after what happened last night. There were bite marks, hand marks, and other marks all over her body…It would certainly be embarrassing if someone were to see them.
She could have healed them with her spiritual energy if she wanted, but for some reason, she didn't want to. It was as if when she looked at these strange marks, she would feel closer to Lin Fan…
After sitting down, Duanmu Ming Yue brought over his breakfast.
Since she started living here, she had taken care of all the housework, including the cooking which really made him embarrassed. However, she just said that it was her way of showing gratitude for how he had taken care of her, so he really wasn't able to say anything in return.
Of course, the food that she made was delicious, so it wasn't as if he was really complaining.
As they ate, Lin Fan brought up some topics that were related to his missions.
First, he wanted to talk about how they would recruit people in to the Love Sect and how they would rebuild.
Mu Bao Bao no longer acted shy when this topic was brought on. She immediately said, "Well, we should hold a public recruitment and get as many talented disciples as we can."
While she was saying this, her eyes sparkled with expectation.
She had seen how big and influential Lin Fan's dungeon town was in the area. As long as they held a sect recruitment from here, it was certain that plenty of people would come to join. Not to mention that there was a Mercenary Guild branch here, so there would also be mercenaries that would be interested in joining.
Mercenaries were people who already had a foot into the world of cultivation and as long as they received the resources that the Love Sect had, they would certainly become much stronger.
Mu Bao Bao could already see the hope of rebuilding the Love Sect to the same level as before.
But Lin Fan shut all of this down with a single, "No."
Mu Bao Bao turned to look at Lin Fan with a crestfallen look as she asked, "Why not? Isn't this what's best for the Love Sect? We need disciples if we want to rebuild the sect."
Lin Fan just calmly shook his head and said, "But if we hold a public recruitment, what kind of message would that be sending?"
Mu Bao Bao was confused as she asked, "Isn't it that we're looking for disciples? It's normal for sects to look for disciples, right?"
Lin Fan explained in the same calm voice, "It isn't just telling everyone that we're recruiting, but rather the Love Sect is recruiting. The most important part of that is that it's the Love Sect."
Mu Bao Bao was still confused at first, but as she thought about what Lin Fan said, she realized what he was implying…
"The people who destroyed the Love Sect…" She said in a sad voice.
Lin Fan nodded before continuing, "Yes, it's not just the world that will know about the revival of the Love Sect. The enemies will also know that a remnant of the Love Sect survived and when they learn this, they will definitely send people to finish off the Love Sect. Since they already sent experts to destroy the Love Sect, naturally they wouldn't let any remnants survive."
Mu Bao Bao's sad look became even sadder before she asked, "Then what should we do? How will we ever rebuild the sect if we can't recruit disciples?"
Lin Fan just said with a smile, "Who said that we can't recruit disciples?"
Mu Bao Bao once again revealed a confused look as she asked, "But how do we recruit disciples if we can't hold a public recruitment? People that have the talent for cultivation are rare and they can't be found anywhere."
Lin Fan just said, "The most important thing isn't people with talent, but rather people with loyalty right now."
Mu Bao Bao looked like she thought otherwise, but she also waited for Lin Fan to explain first.
Lin Fan said, "Right now, the Love Sect doesn't have a single thing to its name other than the inheritance that you have. So without anything keeping them, why would people with talent come to our sect? What we need to do now is gather people who will stay loyal to the sect even if they don't have the talent. We can get talented people in the future when the sect is built up, but right now there isn't even a sect."
Mu Bao Bao still had an unwilling look, but she had to admit that Lin Fan was right. So in the end, she gave a nod to Lin Fan's suggestion of recruiting people from the town to the sect for now.
However, as more and more people arrived in this town, not all of them could be trusted since they were only passing by.
The people that Lin Fan was referring to were the people that had been in the village when Lin Fan had saved it. Those were people that were completely devoted to Lin Fan and could be considered the most trusted people here.
So while Mu Bao Bao was a bit unhappy with the results, she still headed off to test the kids of the town to see if they were able to cultivate.
Xiao Yue and Lala went off to help her, but as for Yue Lan, she stayed behind because Lin Fan had something else to discuss.
Lin Fan asked her with a serious voice, "Is it possible to bring the surrounding villages to this town?"
