Celestial Taoist

Chapter 14 Heavenly Punishment System

But the most important thing right now is to find out what's going on. Maybe we can find some clues in the computer. As soon as Li Mofan had a thought, the computer interface appeared. After advancing to level 1, this interface added a "Shop" and a "Task".

He planned to go through everything he hadn't looked at before, and when Li Mofan's attention focused on the words "Personal Panel" at the top of the data interface, the corresponding information appeared.

"The personal panel is a quantified version of each talented individual's data, precisely calculated by the Heavenly Punishment System. Data points of 0 or overlapping categories are automatically hidden. Do you want to turn off the hiding?" Li Mofan selected "Yes."

The panel quickly grew so long that it couldn't fit in one's line of sight, but fortunately, it could be flipped according to Li Mofan's thoughts.

Li Mofan glanced over and discovered that among the four talented professions in the Heavenly Punishment World, he actually had the talent of an Evolver. However, because his talent was not as high as that of a Taoist, he hid it along with the other two who had no talent.

The remaining hidden items are categorized into several levels based on the talent level of the individual. Heavenly Punishment Coins, needless to say, are the universal currency of the Heavenly Punishment world.

Merit points can be obtained through quests. Some special quests require a certain amount of merit points to accept, and some merit points can be used to buy and sell items in the shop with the system at a discount.

As for Soul Power, Potential, and Wisdom, they correspond to the strength of the four major talents, just like Spirituality. Mana and Energy Points are attributes unique to mages and mechanics, respectively.

The last few items are the unique abilities of each of the four talents. It's worth noting that mages have one more ability than other talents: spells and soul servants. After reading them, Li Mofan immediately hid them, thinking that these functions were quite practical.

Next, let's look at the shop, which is divided into the personal shop and the system shop. The personal shop, as the name suggests, is where talented individuals post transactions themselves. Once a transaction is completed, the Heavenly Punishment System guarantees it, making it much safer than offline transactions. The system shop is where talented individuals trade with the Heavenly Punishment System according to the pricing given by the system. After a successful transaction, if it is a physical item, the system will assign a task to collect and deliver the item. Of course, after a successful transaction in the personal shop, talented individuals can also pay Heavenly Punishment Coins to post tasks to deliver items.

Li Mofan currently has 0 Tianfa coins and no items to sell. He can't see anything in the shop, and can't help but complain, "These days, are you not even allowed to look if you don't have money?"

The task system is much simpler than the shop. There are only tasks to post and accept, as well as system-mandated tasks. You can post tasks using either Tianfa coins or items, but Li Mofan can't open it right now. The conditions for accepting tasks are mostly level and class. At Li Mofan's level 1, most of the tasks are delivery tasks. The system-mandated tasks are bright red and there is only one: "Beginner Talent Trial, task acceptance time limit (25th day 11:30:39)". And this time is constantly decreasing.

After familiarizing himself with this last item, he got up, tidied his appearance in front of the mirror in the room, and walked towards the cultivation room, guessing that Su Qingyao should still be there.

Reaching the entrance of the cultivation room, Li Mofan gently raised his hand and knocked on the stone door, his tone respectful yet somewhat submissive: "Captain Su, I've come again, specifically to thank you."

The stone door slowly opened, revealing Su Qingyao sitting cross-legged on a futon, meditating, a hint of languidness still lingering in her eyes. Hearing the sound, she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling on Li Mofan, her tone flat: "What is it?"

Li Mofan quickly bowed and shrugged, moving swiftly to her side. His eyes were lowered, and his tone was sincere: "Captain, I just finished refining the spiritual energy you transferred to me. I feel incredibly refreshed; my spiritual energy level has more than doubled, my meridians have been nourished and broadened, and even my blood and qi have improved significantly. Although we are not formally master and disciple, you have shown me profound kindness and affection!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Mofan felt the aura emanating from Su Qingyao, which was drawn by her supernatural power, and he was surprised.

Previously, when he had been in contact with Su Qingyao, his supernatural abilities had remained completely unresponsive, but now they had been activated? A thought flashed through his mind, and a bold idea unconsciously popped into his head: if only he could capture a few Taoist priests and test the reaction of his supernatural abilities. As soon as he thought of this, he was startled by this sudden idea, and quickly composed himself, lowering his eyes and holding his breath, afraid that Su Qingyao would notice anything amiss.

Su Qingyao, of course, was unaware of his inner thoughts. Her expression remained calm, and she spoke in a light tone, "Have you carefully read through all the instructions for the Heavenly Punishment System?"

Li Mofan quickly responded, his tone respectful: "I have carefully reviewed every item and dared not omit anything."

"Now that you've seen it, you should know that there are no cultivation methods exclusive to Taoists in the system." Su Qingyao slowly raised her eyes, her gaze falling on him, her tone gentler than before. "You've joined my Qinglan Squad and are now under my full jurisdiction. From now on, I will personally oversee your cultivation. In that sense, there's not much difference between us as master and disciple."

Upon hearing this, Li Mofan felt a sense of relief and secretly rejoiced: Thankfully, he hadn't acted impulsively and brought up that wisp of spiritual energy, and she hadn't noticed the veiled meaning in his words. If things had truly turned sour, with no one to guide his cultivation in the future, even with his maxed-out spiritual energy, he would only be able to grope his way forward—wouldn't that be a huge loss? Thinking this, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes: "I will follow Master's instructions completely. This disciple will certainly devote himself to cultivation and live up to Master's cultivation and love."

He glanced at Su Qingyao out of the corner of his eye, noticing that her expression remained unchanged, but the aura emanating from her had intensified. A guess formed in his mind, and he quickly lowered his head, his tone becoming increasingly respectful, his eyes filled with admiration: "This disciple has never experienced such a rapid breakthrough before. If it weren't for Master's compassion in teaching me the wondrous Spirit-Changing Technique, and even sacrificing your own cultivation to help me, this disciple would likely have remained stagnant for a long time. This disciple is truly grateful, but this disciple's aptitude is still shallow. Although I have received Master's assistance, I still have many questions about cultivation. I humbly request Master to guide this disciple further."

Having said that, he bowed deeply, his posture extremely humble. He found that the more he did this, the stronger the aura emanating from her became, and his tone grew even more obedient: "Master Qingyao!"
