Chapter 392 The Two Captains (1/2)
In a courtyard inside the cave dwelling.
Zhou Yuan lifted a teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Shen Wanjin. The latter was currently surveying the purple Genesis cave dwelling, inhaling its rich and pure Genesis Qi, as an envious look involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
“Little Yuan bro is really the amazing one. Even though we entered the Cangxuan Sect together, I’m not sure how many donkey years it’ll take for the rest of us to reach your current status.” Said Shen Wanjin with a sigh.
Zhou Yuan chuckled. He did not show any pride as he diverted the topic, “You have information regarding a Heaven task?”
Shen Wanjin gulped down the hot tea, before he complained, “Little Yuan bro, I’ve been running around so much for the past few days to find out about a Heaven Task for you that my feet have barely spent any time on the ground.”
Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes and said, “I know you’ve worked hard for this. Once I have time, I will give you some pointers on the little Heaven technique you’ve recently been practicing.”
Shen Wanjin was delighted when he heard this and cheerfully replied, “In that case, let me thank little Yuan bro first.”
After securing his benefits, Shen Wanjin finally said in a leisurely manner, “Little Yuan bro, a Heaven task is the highest level task in our Cangxuan Sect, and are extremely hard to come by. In fact, there are only a handful Heaven tasks given out every year.”
“You should know that many powerful disciples are eagerly waiting for such an opportunity.”
“I’ve asked several people to secretly keep a lookout, even bribing someone working at the mission hall. That’s how I finally received the latest information regarding a Heaven task.”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes lit up.
“Tell me the details.”
Shen Wanjin replied, “The task has not been officially announced yet, and I’m still in the dark about the specifics. The only information I managed to gather is about the two captains that have already been decided.”
Zhou Yuan curiously asked, “Who?”
Shen Wanjin slowly said, “The captain is Li Qingchan, while the vice-captain is Zhao Zhu.”
“Two Chosens…” Zhou Yuan’s eyes widened. To think that Chosens would be leading the mission, looks like a Heaven task was truly extraordinary after all.
He was relatively well-acquainted with Li Qingchan. As for Zhao Zhu, it seemed like he was the mastermind of the incident during the purple sash selection.
As the saying went, rivals were always destined to cross paths.
“This Heaven task requires eight members. Other than the two captains, there are only six spots remaining.”
Shen Wanjin was clearly also a little overwhelmed by the scale of this operation. The missions he had taken in the past really paled in comparison to such a line-up.
“Even though this task has yet to be officially announced, most of the strong veteran disciples have caught wind of it, and have begun to move in secret.”
“It is rumoured that the remaining team members must be approved by both captains, making Li Qingchan and Zhao Zhu more popular than ever before.”
Shen Wanjin shrugged as he said, “However, there’s nothing else I can do to help you with this. You’ll have to rely on yourself.”
He was merely a black sash disciple that definitely didn’t have the qualifications to even meet Chosens like Li Qingchan and Zhao Zhu, let alone pull strings for Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan gave a slight nod as he began to frown. A Heaven task was extremely difficult to come by, and each time a Heaven task was announced, numerous purple sash disciples would fight over the limited number of spots available. In fact, the struggles would sometimes be so intense that even blood would be drawn.
This time was obviously not going to be an exception.
To be blunt, even a veteran purple sash disciple like Xu Yan lacked the qualifications and experience to obtain a spot in a Heaven task.
“A Heaven Credit is really going to be a pain in the ass to get.” Zhou Yuan sighed inside.
