Chapter 366: Spirit Bead Quest (Part II)
Hearing Steward Hu say that the danger of the mission came from people, Zhao Lin felt a pang in his heart and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Steward Hu didn't answer, and pulled Zhao Lin to the corner of the hall, and then said in a low voice: "As mentioned in the mission introduction, Chiwei Island is the disputed island between my Chenghua Sect and the Earth Dark Sect, and it is currently under the joint control of both parties. ”
"In fact, the Earth Dark Sect has more control, whether it is on the island or in the sea area, our sect is at a relative disadvantage."
"In order to avoid conflicts and wars, the two sects have reached an agreement a long time ago to put aside the dispute for the time being and jointly develop the cultivation resources of Chiwei Island."
"And it was agreed that either party could only send twenty Qi Refining Realm cultivators into it, and no one could send one more person, let alone a Foundation Realm cultivator or above."
"Therefore, collecting spirit beads on Chiwei Island, there are not only monks from my sect, but also people from the Earth Dark Sect, do you understand?"
Zhao Lin naturally understood, and bowed slightly, "What does Brother Hu mean, the danger comes from the ambitions of the wolves of the Earth Dark Sect?" ”
The steward pouted and sneered, "Yes, it's this group of miscellaneous pieces." ”
"Once the two monks meet at the bottom of the sea, it is basically an endless ending, and this is the real danger of this mission."
Zhao Lin frowned, his face gloomy.
The Earth Dark Sect is very close to the Chenghua Sect, only separated by a not vast sea area, and the two sides have a history of great origin, known as a strip of water.
Zhao Lin had read a lot of historical classics of the Chenghua Sect in the Library Pavilion, and he also had a general understanding of the surrounding sects.
The Earth Dark Sect is located on a large island to the east of the Chenghua Sect, with a history of about 15,000 years.
Originally, this sect only had a few Qi Refining Realm cultivators who had just glimpsed the path of cultivation, and very few of them were able to build a successful foundation, and it belonged to a sect that was relatively late in the cultivation of immortals.
More than 10,000 years ago, the Chenghua Sect was in its heyday, and it could be said that it was in full swing, leading all sects in both magic and exercises, and there was no sect in the entire Xuanyuan Continent that could match it.
The Diyan Sect admired the Taoism of the Chenghua Sect, and sent envoys to cross the sea to learn the Taoism several times, and regarded itself as a subordinate sect, calling the Chenghua Sect "Shangzong".
At that time, Chenghua Sect pacified the Quartet, Weijia Hainai, and was also very open-minded, and generously taught many Dao methods of the Earth Dark Sect, as well as the way of alchemy and refining.
It was only since then that the Earth Dark Sect gradually developed.
Until now, more than ninety percent of the spells of the Earth Dark Sect are exactly the same as those of the Chenghua Sect, and most of the cultivation exercises are also born from the Chenghua Sect.
But no one expected that Cheng Huazong's kindness was fed to the dogs.
The Earth Dark Sect is located on an island, earthquakes and tsunamis are frequent, and the aura is also very scarce, and it has been looking for opportunities to expand outward, and the Chenghua Sect, which is rich in land and resources, is the target of its snooping.
Therefore, when the Chenghua Sect was in danger more than a thousand years ago, the Earth Dark Sect not only did not lend a hand, but also fell into the well and took advantage of the fire to rob.
In that sect war, the Earth Dark Sect sent a large number of monks and ships to invade Chenghua Sect, conquer the city, slaughter immortals, and almost wipe out Chenghua Sect!
It shows the true color of the wolf's heart and dog's lungs.
All in all, this is a sect that is afraid of authority but not virtue, and knows small etiquette but has no great righteousness.
The behavior of the Earth Dark Sect evoked some bad memories of Zhao Lin's previous life, so he called him a wolf ambition.
At present, due to territorial issues and historical entanglements, the two sects only maintain reconciliation and exchanges on the surface, and secretly guard against each other.
Taking a light breath, Zhao Lin said, "Senior Brother Hu, there are only more than 10,000 monks in the Earth Dark Sect, and there are more than 100,000 monks in my sect, why can't you even take down a disputed island?" ”
"It's not that simple."
Steward Hu shook his head slightly, "First of all, the strategic position of our sect is very unfavorable. ”
"Because of the vast area, the pressure is also great. In the southwest, there is the Nanzhu Sect, which has repeatedly provoked border provocations, in the southeast, there is the Jiaoyue Sect, which has always regarded our sect as an enemy, and in the north, there is the Luosha Sect, which is eyeing the enemy......"
"These places need to be guarded by a large number of monks, and it is impossible to use the power of the sect to fight against the Earth Dark Sect."
"And there are also extraterritorial sects with ill intentions interfering, all of which make us restrain our hands."
Steward Hu clenched his fists and said with a look of indignation: "There is another point, our sect is in the stage of recuperation and regaining strength, and it is not suitable to make a big move. ”
"Hmph, the Earth Dark Sect is just a clown jumping beam after all, and we will recover Chiwei Island sooner or later!"
Zhao Lin thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Brother Hu just said that each side sent twenty Qi Refining Realm cultivators into the sea area, it sounds very fair, and we are not their opponents either?" ”
Steward Hu sighed lightly and said, "The Earth Dark Sect is located on an island and deals with the sea all year round, so there are many Water Spirit Root cultivators, and they are quite accomplished in spells. ”
"Comparing the cultivation of water practice spells alone, especially among low-level cultivators, they are indeed slightly superior."
After a pause, he continued to explain: "This quest requires proficiency in water resistance and Xiaocheng in attack spells. ”
"But it's just the minimum standard, in fact, it's best to cultivate the water resistance technique to the small level, and the attack spell to reach the mastery level."
"Otherwise, it will be easy to collect spirit beads, and if you encounter a cultivator of the Earth Dark Sect, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive."
Speaking of this, Steward Hu lowered his voice, "If you kill a cultivator of the Earth Dark Sect, there will be two hundred rewards for good deeds. ”
Zhao Lin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Killing the cultivators of the Earth Dark Sect also has good deeds?" Why didn't you say it in the mission details? ”
Steward Hu smiled, waved his hand lightly and said, "How can this kind of thing be written in the mission?" After all, the two sects are not at war, so they still have to pay attention to the influence of the sects. ”
"Senior Brother Zhao, you are a martial cultivator, good at killing, when you reach the late stage of qi refining, you may be able to enter Chiwei Island to have a try, and you will also make meritorious contributions to our sect to kill the enemy."
"But for now, I think it's safer for the first two golden tasks."
Zhao Lin didn't answer, and secretly calculated to himself.
I only have more than 200 good deeds left in my hand, and if I want to continue to cultivate the Nine Turns Condensing Divine Skill, I can only support it for two months at most.
Not to mention practicing in the spiritual cave and bringing your family to the county, it takes a lot of good deeds.
Although this task is dangerous, he has the ability to echolocate, can detect extremely long distances in the water, and has also mastered the water resistance technique.
In addition, there is another advantage: the whole process of collecting spirit beads is in the open realm, and it is impossible for the foundation building monks to participate, so there is no need to worry about the Li family taking the opportunity to sneak attack them.
As the so-called wealth is sought in danger, you can get a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den.
Zhao Lin made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Brother Hu, I'll take this task!" ”
Steward Hu didn't expect that after his painstaking persuasion, Zhao Lin still chose to face the difficulties, and couldn't help crying and laughing.
"Senior Brother Zhao, are you sure to choose the No. 6 mission?"
Zhao Lin nodded seriously, "Sure, just choose it!" ”
