Primordial Harem System

Chapter 219: Submitting the Mission

"Here, Dear Customer. Now our deal is finished, how you take care of this beast depends on you now since we have next to no knowledge of it." The shopkeeper handed the beast to Shen Yuan as he gently grabbed the beast by its neck.

Shen Yuan took it from the shopkeeper and observed it carefully, "Hmm... I will look further into what you really are after getting back to the sect." He muttered while walking towards the exit.

The shopkeeper looked at him with hopeful eyes, expecting him to bring in more customers later.

...

'You know what this beast is, Lan'er?' Shen Yuan internally asked Yue Lan.

[Of course, I know what this beast is, but what will I get for answering it?]

Yue Lan's mischievous voice rang like bells in his mind.

Shen Yuan exhaled a long breath, 'Alright, tell me what you want later, for now help me with identifying what this beast is.'

He spoke to Yue Lan while softly patting the small beast in his hands.

[Hmm, since you are asking so nicely, I shall tell you. You have stumbled on quite a treasure this time if I must say. His bloodline has been downgraded to the Elite tier after such a long time, and even that is dormant.]

Yue Lan seriously spoke.

Shen Yuan halted in his steps in the middle of the market as he heard Yue Lan's words, his mind spun as he asked, 'Dormant Bloodline? And it's only at the Elite Tier?'

[Yes, and it won't be easy to awaken its bloodline as well. But the upper limit of its bloodline is at the apex of the Mortal World. But for that, you need to constantly feed it with higher-level resources.]

Shen Yuan thought deeply about it for some time as he began walking again and asked, 'But what would be the point of training him so hard? Can he even match my speed in cultivation?'

[That's the special thing about this species, they don't have bottlenecks. As long as you feed them resources, they will reach higher and higher levels. So basically, the only thing holding them back is a lack of resources.]

Yue Lan patiently explained.

'I see, no wonder the shopkeeper couldn't awaken the beast's dormant bloodline; he didn't have higher-tier resources to use on the beast. The best they spent was likely equal to a High Tier Spirit Stone at most.' Shen Yuan reasoned slowly.

[That is correct, so, what will you do? Raise it?]

Shen Yuan thought deeply for some time, 'It's better to raise the beast as the Protector of the Sect. If in the future I went out seeking greater opportunities, the beast can take care of the sect.'

[It's up to you, but knowing you, you might get too attached to the beast to leave it behind.]

Yue Lan softly giggled.

'Whatever.' Shen Yuan shook his head as even he was not sure what he will do once that time comes.

He soon reached the Sect Gates and entered inside after showing his identity.

The disciples guarding the gate looked at the beast in Shen Yuan's embrace curiously, but they didn't ask questions as there was no shortage of weird-looking beasts inside the sect.

Shen Yuan directly went to the Inner Sect after going through a few Spatial Portals.

"Haaa... it feels as if I'm back home." Shen Yuan exhaled a long breath while staring at the serene atmosphere of the Sect.

The disciples walking from here and there shot him glances as he was still an anomaly in an all-female sect.

Shen Yuan didn't mind the stares and soon began walking towards the Sect Mission Hall.

"Hmm... I wasn't able to accomplish what I went out for this time, but I at least have a target and someone in the outside world to gather information for me." He talked to himself as he sorted out his thoughts.

"I still have a few weeks left for the Sect competition, what shall I do in the meantime..." He thought about it again and again while walking as he soon came in front of the Mission Hall.

He shook his head and entered inside, it was still as busy as the first time he came here a few days ago.

Lines being filled with disciples taking missions and submitting their results.

Shen Yuan moved towards the counter where he got the mission from and stood at the back of the line.

The disciples looked at him but didn't comment as most of them were waiting to see whether he failed or passed.

"Do you think he completed his mission?"

"How is that possible? It's only been like 3 days."

"Yes, how is it possible for anyone to complete that mission when the time it takes to move such a large distance is longer than what it took to complete the entire mission?"

...

Shen Yuan didn't bother with the discussions as he knew fighting back now would only have the opposite effects than what he wanted.

He silently stood at the back of the line which slowly moved forward.

After waiting for a while, he arrived in front of the counter, the same disciple whom he saw the last time was there.

"Ah hello, Senior Brother Shen Yuan. How was the mission? Have you completed it?" The disciple asked with a bright smile.

Shen Yuan smiled lightly and took out his mission scroll before handing it to the disciple.

"Here, check it and see if this will do, and you haven't introduced yourself yet." Shen Yuan said as he didn't know the name of the disciple until now.

"Haha, let me see the scroll. As for myself, I'm Lin Yue, an Inner Sect disciple. It's an honor to assist Senior Brother Shen Yuan." She happily replied while opening up the scroll.

Her eyes lit up as she saw the excellent review Master Qiu had left behind. "Excellent, Senior Brother Shen Yuan, you have done your first mission spectacularly." She raised her head from the scroll and looked at him while continuing, "Will you take another mission?"

Shen Yuan shook his head and rejected, "I need to cultivate for now, so I won't take any more missions for the time being."

Lin Yue shook her head with a look of pity, "Very well then, Senior Brother Shen Yuan, your rewards will be sent to your identity medallion after the mission details are verified by sect elders."

Shen Yuan nodded his head and left the astonished crowd of disciples behind the Mission Hall.

...

"Now, I have completed the mission as well, what should I do next?" Shen Yuan spoke aloud while strolling around the sect randomly.

"Brother Shen Yuan!"

Shen Yuan turned his head as he heard a scream coming from far away, he saw a silhouette coming closer to him.

He focused his gaze to see who it was as he recognized the voice.

Shen Yuan's eyes lit up with pleasant surprise as he saw it was one of his old acquaintances.

"Big Brother!" Han Qingyu came running towards him with excitement, her face filled with joy as it had been a long time since she last saw Shen Yuan.
