Chapter 18: The Temple Mission

Royal capital!

The power center of the Purple Cloud Empire, the spiritual symbol of the 700 million people, the location of the temple! All kinds of factors make the entire Purple Cloud Empire Yanjing a little unbelievably prosperous, even if he has seen Lingyun in a super big city like Shanghai, he still can't help but be surprised by this prosperous city, and he can't imagine that the king capital of a third-level empire in this world can actually prosper to such a degree.

people, the streets are full of people. At a glance, countless figures filled the entire field of vision in a regular and chaotic manner, without the slightest edge. Some of the main streets, horse-drawn carriages, lined up in convoys that stretched for thousands of kilometers, slowly moved forward. The nearly 20-meter-wide street barely ensures the smooth flow of the road, but the traffic jams that appear from time to time almost make Ling Yun think that he is back in the highly developed industrial cities of the 21st century.

"Just a third-level empire has such a huge population base, and it is said that there are no less than 300,000 third-level empires in the entire continent, so it is estimated that the population of the entire world is at least more than 300 billion!" Ling Yun was surprised by the huge structure of this world for the first time, and in addition to being surprised, he was even more excited: "At least three hundred billion people, the wisdom essence condensed by so many people, what kind of brilliant Douqi civilization will be created? Seventh-order, eighth-order, and ninth-order sword masters...... How strong are they?"

Ling Yun, who was no longer invincible on the earth, once again radiated infinite fighting spirit in his heart.

Countless sword masters who can be challenged, and there is plenty of rich aura of heaven and earth...... This planet is so beautiful.

Thinking of the proudness, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a big heart, the whole person was radiant, the spirit shone, the original state of mind that had entered the peak of the innate Mahayana from the earth and was silent, actually moved slightly, and there was a faint tendency to break through the innate Mahayana and comprehend the meaning of the sword soul.

However, condensing the sword soul is from the qi to the soul, although his state of mind at the moment is enough to cultivate, but the ninety-nine upper sword qi in the body that is only at the peak of the innate cannot be fused into the spirit to evolve into a personal sword soul, if he can't bear to condense the soul of the sword in advance now, the spirit collapse and cerebral palsy will be his only end.

After settling down on a slightly agitated mind, Ling Yun found a rather luxurious hotel to live in, and he had to think of a way to improve his cultivation first.

After cultivating in the forest for two whole years, he encountered countless kinds of demonic beasts, and after killing the demonic beasts, Ling Yun also obtained some magic cores with good textures. When he entered a small town near the royal capital, he had already resold these demon cores to earn enough money to temporarily have food and clothing. His tattered clothes were also changed in the tailor's shop in the town. Otherwise, if he entered the royal capital with his almost savage-like image, he would have to be arrested and imprisoned by the soldiers on charges of affecting the city's appearance.

In the restaurant, Ling Yun tasted the delicacies of the world that he hadn't eaten for two years, and looked out the window at the huge and boundless magnificent temple near the palace.

Originally, this temple did not have such a terrifying size, but in order to please the gods, the rulers of the Purple Cloud Empire invested a lot of honors and feats on the appearance of the temple, and decorated the entire temple far more than the palace building, becoming the most famous first temple in the entire empire.

After staring at the huge tower shadow for a moment, Ling Yun withdrew his gaze.

The main function of the temple is to provide sufficient cultivation energy, as well as the exchange of various magical treasures. However, the current Ling Yun did not have any meritorious deeds at all, even if he went to that temple and saw any treasures, it was just a moment of greed, and there was no practical meaning at all.

There are four main ways to achieve merit in this world.

The first is cultivation. After reaching the Sword Master realm, each time you are promoted to the temple, you will be able to go to the temple and receive a certain amount of honor. The higher the profession you promote, the more honors and deeds you can make in your field.

The second is to create a set of superb sword skills yourself, as long as you contribute this set of sword skills to the temple and get the temple's approval, you can get a lot of honorary awards.

The third is to accept the mandate given by the Temple. However, the tasks issued by the temple are generally extremely difficult, and each task is a gamble of life and death, and rushing forward without a certain strength is no different from sending them to death.

The fourth, and the most honorable way, is also the way to get the most meritorious deeds. That is the "Sword Fighting World Conference" formulated by the gods themselves. Anyone, as long as he achieves proud results in battles of the same level, can immediately receive a large number of feats. Especially the strong person who won the first place, the reward he received in the end was simply immeasurable. Therefore, even a swordsman who is no longer enthusiastic about cultivation cannot remain indifferent when faced with the amazing reward of the "Sword Fighting World Conference".

The Centennial Contest is almost equivalent to a ranking battle to select all the masters in the entire continent.

......

Ling Yun sat in the restaurant, looked at the passing crowd, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the degree of sword-loving and martial arts in this world.

Swordsman! Swordsman! Still Swordsman!

The weapons worn by the people passing by on the streets were all swords, long swords, great swords, broad swords, and heavy swords...... All kinds of sword styles are worn or carried on the body by many warriors, and they are constantly dangling in front of people's eyes, which can be called a famous sword exhibition that gathers the swords of the world.

Under the influence of the Divine Sword Monarch, the whole world became a world of swords.

When Lingyun was looking around at everyone, a man in yellow came upstairs in a hurry, his eyes quickly looked for something back and forth in the restaurant, and when he saw a man in Tsing Yi sitting in the corner, his eyes immediately lit up: "Captain Qinghan, I have worked hard all the way, but I counted the hours, and I finally caught up in time." His voice was not deliberately restrained, and in this relatively high-end restaurant, it was quite loud, and others couldn't notice him.

"Qing Han!?, the leader of the mythical mercenary group-Qing Han, the swordsman of the Northern Darkness!?" As soon as the man in yellow spoke, everyone who was chatting suddenly stopped and looked at the man in green who was pointing at him.

The man in green clothes frowned slightly, took out a silver ingot from his arms, put it on the table and said, "Shopkeeper, settle the bill!" After that, he glanced at the man in yellow, got up and walked out, the cyan sword worn at his waist shook slightly, exuding a trace of coldness.

Out of the instinct of a kendo master, Ling Yun glanced at this sword slightly, and his heart immediately understood: "It is made of deep sea blue ice stone, tempered by masters, and cast into this sword! ”

"Captain Qinghan, wait for me. The man in yellow hurriedly chased him out.

As soon as Qing Han left, the restaurant, which was originally a little quiet, immediately became lively: "It's really Qing Han of the Northern Underworld Sword! I feel the cold air on the Northern Underworld Sword!"

As soon as the clip was opened, some well-informed people immediately chimed in: "Even the deputy head of the regiment, Qing Han, has rushed over from thousands of miles, it seems that the mythical mercenary group is really planning to do a big job this time." ”

"You mean, about the temple mission?"

"Exactly. The Mythical Mercenary Group is the largest mercenary group in our Purple Cloud Empire, although it has extremely powerful forces. But recently, their various performances have been greatly questioned. Especially the failure of the mission of the Protector Hua Commercial Bank a month ago made the prestige of their mercenary group fall to a low point, if they didn't do something sensational, they would not be able to hold the throne of the first mercenary group of the Purple Cloud Empire. ”

"I've heard about it, too. A cousin of mine has some friends in the Mythical Mercenary Group, and according to them, the Mercenary Group has mobilized all the masters above the seventh level swordsman, and is ready to go to the temple in ten days to accept the mission and go to the Gray Forest!"

"The Gray Forest!? This is impossible, with the danger of the Gray Forest, even the swordsman level masters dare not break in easily! The strength of the mythical mercenary group is true, but the dignified sword master, even the imperial family will try their best to win over the existence of the existence that he can desperately woo, how can he be retained by a small mercenary group? Where did they get so much confidence that they dare to go to the Gray Forest to carry out the mission?"

This person's question was immediately supported by the vast majority of people, and someone immediately echoed: "The fact that the Mythical Mercenary Group can come back alive from the Gray Forest is already a great achievement for them, not to mention that they still have to complete the task. As far as I know, there are no two ninth-level powerhouses who have opened the way, and they can't even walk to the area where the quest items are located. And looking at the entire mythical mercenary group, the ninth-level powerhouse is also Yue Rou of the Changkong detachment, and with her leading the team alone, let alone completing the task, it is very problematic to retreat with the whole body. ”

When everyone heard his analysis, they immediately felt that it made sense, and sighed softly one by one: "This mythical mercenary group has been forced to this point, and it seems that it has been forced to make dangerous moves. ”

"Yes, but I'm not optimistic about the Mythical Mercenary Group's operation. ”

Some people also responded with different opinions: "But if the Mythical Mercenary Group can really complete the mission of the temple with the help of a ninth-level powerhouse, then the number of honors and merits obtained is definitely a huge amount, and the revitalization of Mythology will be just around the corner at that time." ”

"With a ninth-level powerhouse, you want to complete this task? Is it possible? Although Miss Yuerou is known as the ninth-level master who is the most promising to be promoted to a sword master in our Purple Cloud Empire, she is not a real sword master after all! A prospective sword master wants to complete a task that a formal sword master can't accomplish? It's just a fantasy. ”

"If it's not done, it's done. Do you know what the reward will be for completing this four-star mission?"

"Isn't the reward a certain amount of honor? Will there be special items? I remember that there will be no item rewards for temple quests that don't exceed five stars?"

"Hehe, this is a four-star mission that even the swordsman is not sure to complete, so it's naturally very special. Otherwise, how could the Mythical Mercenary Group be so desperate?"

Hearing his appetite, everyone couldn't help but be curious: "Brother, you revealed to the disclosure, what are the reward items for this mission?"

The person who spoke leaned back with a deep face, and coughed a few times pretending to be uncomfortable: "After talking for so long, my throat is a little dry......

Before he finished speaking, an anxious guest immediately shouted: "Boss, last September red!"

After serving that person for a while, he said unhurriedly: "This temple mission not only gave a lot of merits, but also rewarded a set of cultivation exercises. It is said that this set of exercises can help a seventh-order swordsman cultivate all the way to the fourth-order great swordsman realm step by step!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped.

To be able to cultivate to the fourth-order Great Sword Master's exercises!!

Although this kind of exercise is nothing to a swordsman-level master, it can be exchanged through honorary merits, but for a swordsman-level person, it is not invaluable.

Swordsman, how many swordsman-level masters are pursuing this life's work? No wonder the mythical mercenary group with the ninth-level swordsman Yue Rou in charge will do whatever it takes to complete this task.

Hearing this, Ling Yun retracted his thoughts and thought about it instead: "The Great Dao is one! Will there be any connection between the cultivation techniques of the Fourth-Order Great Sword Master and the exercises I have cultivated. If you can get it, refer to one or two ......"
