"No problem. Senior Brother Lin, show me the items. If there's a corresponding mission, I'll help you register here," Jiao Yu said with a smile.
But soon, she couldn't smile anymore.
There were wood spirit herbs, ebony roots, frost flowers, ice shards, and even Treasure Gold Cloud Sand!
As Lin Shen took out one rare herb after another, Jiao Yu's eyes widened.
Especially toward the end, when she saw that Lin Shen had taken out so much Treasure Gold Cloud Sand that it had piled up into a small mountain, her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"There are so many things..."
Jiao Yu almost suspected that Lin Shen had emptied a certain mountain. Otherwise, how could he have collected so many things?
Ordinary Long Breath Stage disciples would probably not have such shocking gains even after training outside for more than half a year!
The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of many disciples.
When they saw the large pile of rare herbs and spiritual beast bones near the counter, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Damn, there are so many natural treasures?"
"There's even Treasure Gold Cloud Sand, and there's so much of it. It must weigh hundreds of kilograms!"
"What a great harvest! Who's so amazing?"
"Lin Shen! It's actually him!"
There was an uproar in the hall.
The storm of the guided battle had just passed, and Lin Shen was still the center of everyone's conversation over the past few days.
Just now, many people were talking about him. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, they would see the very person bringing a large pile of natural treasures to submit the mission?
After a long while, Jiao Yu recovered from her shock and looked at Lin Shen in admiration. Then, she began to take inventory.
There were many things and miscellaneous items. It took nearly an hour for Jiao Yu to count everything and register the corresponding missions. The merit points were then put into Lin Shen's identity token.
In the end, Lin Shen obtained a total of 54 minor merits and 893 merit points.
When she handed the identity token to Lin Shen, Jiao Yu still looked a little dazed.
Many Long Breath Stage disciples might not be able to earn so many merit points even after staying in the academy for two to three years.
Lin Shen had only made a trip to the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range, but he had already achieved a goal that others could only achieve in two to three years. It was really unbelievable!
"Thank you."
Lin Shen took the token, and joy flashed across his eyes.
The gains from this trip were far beyond his expectations.
Apart from the huge amount of merit points, there were also Prime Pills, storage bags, and many rare herbs that weren't needed for the missions but were worth a lot.
If necessary, he could sell them for spirit coins. It was also a considerable amount of wealth.
There was no need to mention the increase in his strength.
The benefits of this training were indescribable!
Putting away the token, Lin Shen casually asked, "Junior Sister Jiao, has anything happened in the academy recently?"
Jiao Yu came back to her senses and shook her head after some thought.
"Nothing happened... By the way, there's something that you might be interested in!"
"What is it?" Lin Shen asked curiously.
"A few days ago, the Martial Enforcement Hall issued a mission in the Dao College to recruit Long Breath Stage disciples to help capture criminals. The reward is three minor merits. If you perform well and make contributions, there will be additional merit rewards. Many disciples accepted the mission."
Martial Enforcement Hall? Assist in capturing criminals?
Lin Shen was very surprised.
Was there no one left in the Martial Enforcement Hall? Why did they come to the academy to recruit people?
Seeing Lin Shen's confusion, Jiao Yu smiled and explained, "This isn't the first time the Martial Enforcement Hall has done this.
Similar things have happened two or three times in the past. Usually, the Martial Enforcement Hall would only do this if they were carrying out a large-scale operation.
"Furthermore, in such missions, the disciples of the academy usually don't have to face the criminals directly. Most of the time, they carry out missions such as searching, investigating, and encircling. It's not too dangerous, and the remuneration is high. Therefore, it's very popular among the disciples."
Lin Shen was enlightened.
On second thought, it wasn't surprising for the Martial Enforcement Hall to recruit helpers in the academy on short notice.
After all, many academy disciples were Long Breath Stage cultivators.
In terms of martial arts, they were stronger than many members of the Martial Enforcement Hall.
When the Martial Enforcement Hall lacked manpower, it was indeed a good choice to recruit helpers from the Nine Yang Academy.
Speaking of which, this was also a type of internship.
After all, many disciples who were eliminated from the academy would
eventually join the Martial Enforcement Hall.
"Senior Brother Lin, do you want to accept this mission?" Jiao Yu asked.
Lin Shen only asked, "What about the mission content?"
"They didn't say the specifics. The Martial Enforcement Hall said that it was to keep it a secret. The only thing we know is that the disciples who accept the mission and pass the screening have to be on standby for the next month. Once they receive the news, they have to immediately go to the designated location before they're assigned missions."
Three minor merits a month...
To ordinary Long Breath Stage disciples, this reward was indeed considerable.
After all, a Long Breath Stage disciple could only obtain a small merit after guarding the spirit mine outside the city for a month.
Although it wasn't dangerous, one had to spend most of their time patrolling and guarding.
The mission of the Martial Enforcement Hall was different. Although they had to be on standby for a month, the disciples could continue cultivating during this period and not waste time.
No wonder so many disciples rushed to sign up.
Even Lin Shen, who had just obtained more than 50 small merits, was a little tempted.
Although he had gained a great deal this time, he couldn't encounter something like the Treasure Gold Cloud Sand vein every time he trained. The road to earning merit points wasn't always a smooth sailing. He couldn't miss out on a good mission with high rewards..
