Chapter 45: Secret Mission
Two months later, Zhan Chen walked out of the cultivation tower, looking back at the towering tower, and there was a feeling of unfinished business, the pleasure of cultivating and climbing up, just like the drug, once addicted, it made people unable to extricate themselves.
Now that he is asked to stay in an ordinary place, or even cultivate in his own small courtyard, Zhan Chen may not be able to adapt to it anymore.
The two-month retreat of the cultivation tower was equivalent to half a year of cultivation for an ordinary inner disciple, but this was far from enough for Zhan Chen, who wanted to cross the bottleneck of the martial artist's high-level, and he felt that his true qi accumulation was less than half of what was needed to break through.
"Experience merit points, I want more merit points!" Now Zhan Chen only had this thought in his mind.
After going back, he took a short rest, went straight to the training hall, and came to the task bar, looking carefully for which task had obtained the most merit points.
The primary task is only suitable for martial apprentices to complete, and the merit point reward is generally in the thousands, the intermediate task is suitable for the martial artist to complete, and the merit point is tens of thousands at most.
The rarest tasks, such as hunting third-level beginner demon beasts, require several martial artists to team up to complete, and the rewards can reach hundreds of thousands.
It's a pity that Zhan Chen only has a mid-level martial artist cultivation now, and it is difficult to even do ordinary high-level tasks, let alone team tasks, and I'm afraid no one will want to cooperate with him if he goes.
Zhan Chen's heart began to be a little disappointed, did he have to rely on slowly completing intermediate tasks to accumulate merit points? Maybe an ordinary martial artist would do this, but for himself who was in a hurry to become stronger, this method was not applicable.
So he shifted his gaze to the temporary task bar on the side, the tasks recorded on it were all posted by other disciples of the sect, and the content was varied, but the points did not satisfy him.
Until he moved his gaze to the top, he saw four large bold characters "Secret Mission", and the reward merit point marked on the back was actually - one million!
"One million?" Zhan Chen suspected that he had seen it wrong, and subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and looked at it carefully, it was really a million!
It was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow, not to mention how excited Zhan Chen's mood was at this time, and he hurriedly looked at the annotation of the task in the back, and found that there was no!
With such a question, he squeezed to the front desk and asked the senior brother there, "How can you participate in the secret mission on that plaque?"
The senior brother did not answer him directly, but asked rhetorically, "You want to participate?"
"Yes!" Zhan Chen replied very simply, what are you kidding, a million merit points, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he has to break through.
"I advise you to think clearly, that merit point looks like a lot, but if you go, it's a life of death. The disciple couldn't help but persuade.
"Can you tell me how to participate?"
The disciple couldn't persuade him, so he explained: "This secret mission, as long as you register, you can participate, it is a mission secretly issued by the high-level of the sect, the content of the mission and the people involved are not announced in advance, and when it is time to carry out the task, you will be notified, but you had better stay in your own courtyard, otherwise it will be easy to miss!"
"Why are you so mysterious?" Zhan Chen asked.
"Because these tasks are high-risk, or shady tasks, making the news public can cause panic or unnecessary trouble. Therefore, before leaving, you will be notified of the content of the mission, and if all the disciples involved in the mission die, they will be treated as missing, and outsiders will not be able to find out the cause of death. The mortality rate of each secret mission is very high, so junior brother should think carefully about your cultivation!"
"I know, I still want to thank you, sign me up!" Zhan Chen decided to hand his jade plate to the disciple on duty.
The man sighed and had to enter the information for him, after which Zhan Chen returned to his small courtyard and waited for the notification of the mission.
And the news of his participation in the secret mission naturally reached Lan Hong. He immediately contacted Wang Yin.
As soon as they met, Lan Hong welcomed Wang Yin to his seat and sat down, and said, "Virtuous nephew, you are finally here, do you know? ”
"Oh, that Zhan Chen is really not afraid of death, don't worry, this time I will arrange for a powerful person to go over, and I will definitely be able to send him to the western sky." ”
"Virtuous nephew, this time you have to succeed, you said this to me last time, but in the end you failed, and let Zhan Chen's kid break through the middle level of martial arts. ”
When he mentioned this matter again, Wang Yin's face was not good-looking, so he had to reassure Lan Hong: "Elder Lan, don't worry this time, the person I sent is a martial artist who has cultivated to the Great Perfection, even if Zhan Chen is against the sky, he will not be able to set off the wind and waves!"
"Okay, nephew, with your words, the old man will be at ease, and after the matter is completed, the old man will be grateful!"
After that, the two plotted another conspiracy, Wang Yin went back, and immediately contacted Lin Dong, promised him many benefits, and even paid a large amount of "deposit" in advance, which bought this arrogant guy.
Having said that, Zhan Chen waited in his small courtyard for a full week before he ushered in the senior brother who was summoned at night, he only handed Zhan Chen a secret letter, prompting him to do what the letter instructed, and left in a hurry.
Zhan Chen opened the envelope with apprehension, and there was only one sentence in the letter: "At 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, the sect gate will be concentrated, and still no valuable information will be said." ”
He couldn't help but pinch the note and groaned, what kind of important thing is it to make it so mysterious and go to great length?
After a sleepless night, Zhan Chen rushed to the mountain gate on time, but saw that there were already many people waiting there, and most of the people's cultivation, he couldn't tell clearly, and couldn't help but murmur: "Is my cultivation at the bottom again?" It seems that this mission is really as the senior brother in the training hall said before, it is extremely dangerous for me. ”
"Danger is to be overcome! If you don't even have this kind of awareness, how can you take revenge?" he silently strengthened his conviction again.
If it comes, it will be safe. He quickly calmed his mind.
When the time came, Zhan Chen swept away, and there were 18 people, of which only 2 were lower than his own cultivation and were at the beginning of the martial arts level, 3 people were at the middle level of martial arts like himself, and the remaining 12 people were all higher than their own cultivation.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a black shadow flying down from the mountain, and in a few flashes came to everyone.
Zhan Chen would not be mistaken, he had already seen the demeanor of Wuzun several times, and he had an in-depth study of this realm, after all, he would one day face an enemy of this level.
The person who came swept everyone and saw that the number of people was the same, so he said: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Qian Hu, a high-level cultivator of Wuzun, and it is your leader this time, maybe you don't often hear my name." That's right, because I'm one of the elders in the sect who specializes in secret tasks, and the so-called shadow of the sect master refers to our group of people. ”
"Let's talk about the discipline of this mission, the first one is confidentiality, the second is confidentiality, whether it is during or after you perform the mission, don't disclose what you know to outsiders at will. Otherwise, hehe, you can imagine the possible consequences as much as you want. Speaking of this, Qian Hu showed a cruel smile that made people shudder.
At this time, someone finally couldn't help but ask, "Elder Qian, can you tell us the content of the task now?"
Qian Hu stared at him and said, "The enemy we have to deal with this time is very strong and terrifying, and that is the Demon Gate!"
