"It is my first time inside. Let's see what are those difficult missions everyone is talking about", Yin Ran spoke. Ling Hui and Xue Yi nodded their heads and all the girls walked towards the elder, incharge of the first floor of the mission hall.
A light smile appeared on Zhan Chen's face after seeing the girls' enthusiasm. He was also curious about the missions issued by the mission hall. So, he followed Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi.
"Inner court disciples?", the elder looked towards the three girls with a questioning look on his face. Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi nodded their heads and asked the elder about the mission log book.
"As you know, you can only access three log books among the existing five. Yellow log book and green log book is already in the ground floor. So, I can only allow to take a look at the Black log book. The rest of the books are out of your reach for now", the elder spoke.
"What, we can't take a look at the Blue log book?", Ling Hui muttered with a disappointed look on her face. Among the five log books, the most she want to see was the Black log book which had quite an extraordinary reputation among the inner court disciples.
"Senior, excuse me. You have spoken about five log books. Yellow, Green, Black, Blue are already mentioned. So, which is the last one?", Zhan Chen looked towards the elder incharge of the first floor.
"And you are?", the stern looking elder looked towards Zhan Chen. He had a displeased look on his face as Zhan Chen did not appear polite to him.
"Senior, I am Zhan Chen. I have just joined the sect. So, didn't know much about the function of the mission hall", Zhan Chen replied. He took out his token and showed it to the elder in charge of first floor.
"A blue token!", the stern looking elder became surprised after seeing the token in Zhan Chen's hand. He looked towards Zhan Chen once again and something clicked in his head.
"Zhan Chen! You are the core disciple brought in by brother Ying Chao?", he looked towards Zhan Chen with a questioning look on his face.
"Yes senior", Zhan Chen nodded his head. The elder incharge of the first floor asked him few more questions. Then, he started to talk about the five log books of the mission hall in details.
"Our mission hall has five log books in total. The Yellow log book and the Green log book are store in the ground floor. The Black log book and the Blue log book are stored in the first floor. As for the last one, it is the Golden log book which is stored in the second floor", the elder spoke.
Yellow log book and the Green log book can be accessed by the Outer court disciples. Inner court disciples have one more privilege. They can access the Black log book in addition to both Yellow log book and the Green log book.
As for the core disciples, they have access to all the log books except the Golden one. Even us inner court elders do not have permission to accept missions from the Golden log book. That book is only for those seniors who are at the peak Tribulation realm or above. Even I am unable to see that book despite my long years as an inner court elder", the strict looking elder added further. There was a look of longing in his face as he spoke about the Golden log book.
'Interesting. There are such detailed stratification in the Xuantian sect. I bet there most be few good missions which will be to my liking', Zhan Chen thought to himself.
'But let's not think about it now. I must focus my attention on the matter at hands', he decided inside his mind.
"Senior, can you let us see the Blue log book? The girls are quite interested about it. So, please allow them to check it", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Zhan Chen, I am Nu Quang. You can look for me whenever you need anything else in the first floor", the stricy elder introduced himself. His previous stern self was no more as he was quite amiable to Zhan Chen after learning his identity.
He didn't stall for the time and took out the Blue log book right away. Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi's eyes shown as they they looked towards Zhan Chen with gratitude in their eyes.
"You girls can take a look first. I want to check something else for now. Please let me check it after all of you are done", Zhan Chen spoke and pushed the log book towards Yin Ran. She happily accepted it and thanked Zhan Chen along with both of her sisters.
"Senior Quang, I have heard that there is a log book of Spirit herbs in the mission hall?", Zhan Chen looked towards Nu Quang.
"Yes, there is. But why are you asking? If there is a certain pill you want, you can directly look for the alchemy peak.
You just need to show your token and I am sure, they will happily concoct any pill for you", Nu Quang advised Zhan Chen after hearing the word 'log book of Spirit herbs'.
"Senior, thank you for your advice but zinprefer to see the log book first. I need to see what kind of spirit herbs are growing in the herb mountains of the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen spoke.
Nu Quang gave in to Zhan Chen's demand and gave him the log book. It was a verdant green coloured log book which had a stalk of leaves as it's symbol.
A cultivators' log book was different from the ordinary log book of mortals. It was refined by artificers who were proficient in making spiritual treasures.
As soon as Zhan Chen turned over the cover page, a diagram floated into air. It was a lively diagram which an ordinary cultivator could study in great details.
"Sect's log book has no mention of grade one and grade two herbs. There is mention of only grade three, grade four, grade five and grade six spirit herbs", Nu Quang spoke from the side. Zhan Chen nodded his head and focused his attention on the log book.
He checked one page after another and his eyes lit up time to time. A surprised look appeared on his face when he reached the final few pages of the log book.
'Grade six dragon vein fruit! What a surprise! I will grab them as much as the sect has', Zhan Chen thought to himself.
His eyes widen further as he turned the page. It was because one of the most unexpected herb, he saw in the log book. Grade six 'Starry primrose', it was one of the key ingredient of an ancient pill formula he knew.
