Chapter Ninety-Eight: Mission: The Mandate of the Hall Elder
"Go to the Ice and Snow Plains in the extreme north of the Great Li Dynasty and collect thousand-year-old ice and snow lotuses, one plant has 10,000 contribution points, and a total of ten plants are needed."
"Buy 100 catties of Ruyi Spirit Iron, 100,000 contribution points."
"Kill the Heavenly Thunder Beast, hand over the corpse of the Heavenly Thunder Beast and the Demon Crystal, 200,000 contribution points for the Earth-level Heavenly Thunder Beast, and 600,000 contribution points for the Heaven-Rank Heavenly Thunder Beast."
“……”
Coming to the mission hall, Zhou Shan carefully searched for tasks one by one.
His eyes were all on the fifth-level tasks and the sixth-level tasks.
In addition to the task of killing the Heavenly Rank Heavenly Thunder Beast, most of these tasks can be completed by Zhou Shan, but some of them are more time-consuming.
For example, collecting the Millennium Ice and Snow Lotus, which is a relatively rare ice-attribute earth-level spiritual object, can refine the ice-attribute elixir that improves cultivation, but if you want to collect ten thousand-year-old Ice and Snow Lotus, I am afraid that it will take several years to search in the Ice and Snow Plains.
There is also Ruyi Spirit Iron, which is also an extremely rare Spirit Iron, and it takes time to go to a specific area to slowly search.
Of course, if there is a spirit stone, whether it is a thousand-year-old ice and snow lotus or a ruyi spirit iron, it can also be bought in the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
But since there are spirit stones that can buy things such as thousand-year-old ice and snow lotus, Ruyi spirit iron, etc., it is better to directly exchange the spirit stones for contribution points, and what other tasks to do.
The disciples who came to the mission hall chose to do the task because they didn't have spirit stones in their hands, accumulating contribution points in exchange for cultivation resources.
If you have spirit stones, you can directly purchase cultivation resources.
Zhou Shan's gaze was taken away from these tasks of searching for ground-level spiritual objects, mainly focusing on some killing tasks.
Compared with spending time to find rare ground-level spiritual objects, hunting demon beasts, killing demon warriors, and great villains and bandits, tasks are undoubtedly more labor-saving.
However, this truth is not only known to Zhou Shan, but also to the rest of the core disciples and true disciples, so some easy-to-complete killing tasks, as long as they appear, they will be picked up by others as soon as they appear, and some of the tasks left behind are more tricky.
The task of killing the demon warrior and the task of killing the ancient dragon ape that Zhou Shan received before, all of them had just been refreshed, and Zhou Shan took it.
After looking around, Zhou Shan did not find a suitable task for himself.
Although among these tasks, there are also some tasks to kill demon beasts, but these tasks are quite tricky, such as killing the Heavenly Thunder Beast, the speed is extremely fast, even if the Earth Yuan Realm Venerable finds the Heavenly Thunder Beast, it is difficult to catch up.
Therefore, the Earth-level Heavenly Thunder Beast is worth 200,000 contribution points, and the Heavenly Thunder Beast that has reached the Heavenly Rank is as high as 600,000 contribution points.
In addition to killing the Celestial Thundermon, there are also tasks such as killing the Fire Linmon and the Darkstone Beast.
This firelinmon lives in the depths of the underground magma, and the Venerable of the Earth Yuan Realm has a mana protector, although it can penetrate deep into the underground magma, it is not easy to find the firelinmon.
The Xuanyan Beast has the talent of retreat.
If you lose it, you will go underground.
Not to mention the Earth Yuan Realm Venerable, even the Tian Yuan Realm Venerable, or even the Danyuan Realm Martial King could only catch the blind in the face of the Xuanyan Beast that had escaped hundreds of meters underground.
If you want to catch the Darkstone, you can only sneak attack, and the moment you make the shot, you can calm the Darkstone's mental consciousness, or use the Darkstonemon's favorite things to lure the Darkstone Beast into the bait.
In short, most of these tasks that no one left behind to take on are more troublesome.
Swish!
At this time, a new quest appears on the quest wall.
Zhou Shan's gaze immediately turned to this task that appeared.
"There is a corpse demon in the Great Wu Dynasty, this corpse demon has more than a hundred years of mana, and when it reaches the middle stage of the Earth Yuan Realm, it will reward 30,000 contribution points for killing the corpse demon."
Zhou Shan carefully looked at the details of this task.
The Great Wu Dynasty, like the previous Great Liang Dynasty, belonged to a low-level dynasty.
According to the investigation of the Eight Extremes Heavenly Sect of the Great Wu Dynasty, this corpse demon who appeared was a Taoist patriarch called the Immortal Temple in the territory of the Great Wu Dynasty.
The Patriarch of the Immortal Outlook had died four hundred years ago.
But the Patriarch of the Immortal View was not willing to die like this, so before he died, he found a place of extreme yin where human and animal beings died according to the secret method in an ancient book, and then buried himself in it.
In addition, the patriarch of the Immortal View left a note, which was the inheritance of the previous masters, so that the descendants would come to the land of extreme yin four hundred years later to dig out his body, saying that there was a secret of immortality.
The patriarch of the generation of the Immortal Concept, who happened to be close to the end of his life, saw the secret of immortality mentioned in the notebook, so he came to the place of extreme yin according to the notebook and dug up the body of the patriarch of the Immortal Concept.
Four hundred years have passed, and the body of the Immortal Patriarch has rarely not decayed, but has just turned into a dried corpse, and the Immortal Patriarch has found that the Immortal Patriarch still has a faint heartbeat and breathing.
This makes the contemplator of the concept of immortality believe in the theory of immortality.
The master of the Immortal View immediately raised the corpse with pills according to the ancient books left by the Patriarch of the Immortal Concept, and also fed the blood of the living, so that the Patriarch of the Immortal Outlook was born to death and resurrected, and after nine years of feeding, the Patriarch of the Immortal Outlook was 'alive', but he became a corpse demon, only a hazy consciousness, and in turn slaughtered all the people up and down the Immortal Concept.
After the incident, the martial artists of the Imperial Court and the Eight Extremes Heavenly Sect went to the Immortal Temple to investigate and found the ancient book.
What is recorded in that ancient book is not a method of immortality at all, but a secret method for cultivating and refining corpse demons, once successful, the corpse demons will give birth to the Heavenly Yin Corpse Demon, which has the strength comparable to the Earth Yuan Realm.
Tianyin Corpse Demon, this is a high-grade earth demon that is more powerful than the Xuanying Blood Demon, and the power is also in the forefront among the high-grade earth demons.
However, the birth of the Heavenly Yin Corpse Demon is extremely harsh, most of them are born in the land of human and animal life and death, and it is necessary to kill hundreds of thousands of people, or even millions, and have to find a place with spiritual veins.
In this way, after tens or hundreds of years, the Heavenly Yin Corpse will be born, and thus turn into the Heavenly Yin Corpse Evil Earth Leyline.
The secret method of refining corpse demons is to cultivate the Heavenly Yin Corpse Demon through the day after tomorrow, but it is also necessary to find a place where humans and beasts die, and the cultivation time will be longer, but there are some defects in the back, so the Immortal Patriarch does not know that this is a secret method for refining corpse demons, and regards it as a secret method that can live forever.
"The corpse demon in the middle of the Earth Yuan Realm, that's it."
Zhou Shan came to the Elder of the Mission Hall and received this task of killing the corpse demon.
This corpse demon only had the strength of the middle stage of the Earth Yuan Realm, and it was not difficult for him to kill it.
After receiving the task, Zhou Shan left the sect in the Purple Cloud Eagle and went to the Great Wu Dynasty.
Four days later.
Zhou Shan reached the Great Wu Dynasty.
Through the information provided by the Eight Extremes Division, Zhou Shan quickly found the corpse demon.
After this corpse was resurrected and slaughtered the Immortal Temple, it came to the place where it was bred by the Extreme Yin, where it absorbed the Yin Qi and improved its strength.
Zhou Shan came to this place of extreme yin and saw that the corpse demon who was absorbing yin qi and cultivating, its appearance was like a dry corpse, and it was surrounded by extremely rich corpse qi.
"Roar!"
Seeing Zhou Shan appear in front of him, the corpse demon roared, and an incomparably rich corpse aura emerged from his body, and then condensed into a huge gray palm in the air, and slapped towards Zhou Shan fiercely.
The corpse demon is not a real creature, but the breath of life possessed by the living soul has an extremely strong desire for the corpse demon.
This strong desire is engraved in the bones, or in the genes of the soul, and instinctively kills living beings, devouring blood and the breath of life.
So wherever the corpse demon goes, it will take death with him.
In ancient texts, corpses are synonymous with death.
Therefore, once a corpse demon appears, it must be destroyed.
Whether it is a demon race or a corpse demon, this is the great enemy of the human race.
Zhou Shan appeared, this corpse demon felt the breath of life, and immediately attacked, and the gray giant palm condensed by the Tianyin corpse demon slapped down fiercely towards Zhou Shan.
The Tianyin Corpse Demon is the high-grade earthly evil qi, and if it is touched, the flesh and blood will wither, and the vitality will be extinguished, and the Tianyin Corpse Demon also contains corpse poison, which is infinitely powerful.
Some powerful corpse demons can even transform living beings into low-level corpse demons through corpse poison, creating an army of corpse demons, which is extremely terrifying.
Of course, the existence that can transform living beings into corpse demons is at least comparable to the corpse demon king of the Danyuan realm, and the corpse demons of the Earth Yuan Realm and the Tianyuan Realm do not have this ability.
However, although the Tianyin Corpse Demon is strong, there are very few people who cultivate, because the Tianyin Corpse Demon is too domineering, hurting others and hurting oneself, even if it is successfully refined and the Tianyin Corpse Demon breaks through to the Earth Yuan Realm, the body will gradually be eroded by the corpse, the vitality will be extinguished, the flesh and blood will be stiff, and the heart and character will also become gloomy and dark.
Therefore, if there is a choice, no one will choose to refine the Heavenly Yin Corpse.
"Dark Truth!"
Zhou Shan's mind moved, and a black sun rose from the back of his head.
The black sun emitted an endless black glow.
Suddenly, the sky within a radius of several kilometers suddenly darkened.
Zhou Shan has reached the consummation of the Earth Yuan Realm, with three hundred years of mana, and the dark true intent has also reached the consummation realm, far exceeding the power of the true intent mastered by the corpse demon.
The gray giant palm that was slapped towards Zhou Shan disappeared in an instant under the shroud of dark light.
Although the Heavenly Yin Corpse Demon mastered by this corpse demon is also a top-grade Earth Demon, the gap between it and Zhou Shan in terms of mana and true intention cultivation is too great, and under the suppression of the dark true intent that has reached perfection, this corpse demon has no power to resist at all.
The Black Nightmare Knife in Zhou Shan's hand slashed out and cut off the head of the corpse demon.
Putting the corpse of this corpse demon into a mustard seed bag, the Purple Cloud Eagle carried Zhou Shan into the air and quickly disappeared into the sky.
Eight Extremes Heavenly Sect, the main hall of tasks.
Zhou Shan handed over the body of the corpse demon and obtained 30,000 contribution points.
At present, he has 230,000 contribution points.
Zhou Shan's gaze swept over the task wall, continuing to look for a suitable task.
"Zhou Shan, I have a mission here." Seeing that Zhou Shan was ready to continue the task, and that Zhou Shan was able to kill the corpse demons in the middle of the Earth Yuan Realm, and his strength was also recognized by the elders of the mission hall, he opened his mouth and said, "Well, this task is my personal commission, I don't know if you are interested." ”
"What task?"
Zhou Shan asked.
"I am from the Eight Extremes Sect of the Daqing Dynasty, and there are several senior brothers who have passed the assessment with me, but in the course of a mission, a senior brother surnamed Ling died of serious injuries in order to save me, and before I died, I promised to take care of Senior Brother Ling's family." The Elder of the Mission Hall said, "Now Senior Brother Ling's Ling family is in some trouble, and they have been targeted by a group of water thieves who have the Venerable of the Earth Yuan Realm.
Although the Ling family also had an Earth Yuan Realm Venerable in charge, he was not the opponent of the leader of the water thieves, and he could only rely on the formation to resist temporarily, so he sent a request for help through the Eight Extremes Heavenly Sect, hoping to solve the gang of water thieves.
According to the news from the Eight Extremes Division, the cultivation of the leader of that group of water thieves, that is, in the middle of the Diyuan Realm, I can't get out of the way for the time being, so I entrust you to go to the Ling family of the Daqing Dynasty to deal with that group of water thieves.
After completing the task, I can give you 30,000 contribution points.
Moreover, if you destroy that group of water thieves, there will be a lot of wealth accumulated by that group of water thieves, and all of them should add up to tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.
You can't take this task. ”
"It's just the leader of the water thieves in the middle of the Diyuan Realm, I took this task."
Hearing the introduction of the mission hall elder about the task, Zhou Shan nodded.
This task is really not difficult for him.
As long as the task is slain, the task will be completed, and all the wealth after killing the water thief leader will also belong to him.
"Okay, then I'll transfer 30,000 contribution points to you first, you go directly to the Ling family of the Daqing Dynasty, and after you arrive at the Ling family, you can directly report my name."
By the way, you can use my mount, the Blue Wind Lion. ”
The Elder of the Mission Hall nodded, and then directly transferred the contribution points to Zhou Shan, and informed Zhou Shan of his real name.
This is a private entrustment from the Elder of the Mission Hall, so Zhou Shan can't go to the Beast Peak to get the mount Purple Cloud Eagle for free, if you want to use the Purple Cloud Eagle, you need to spend additional contribution points, but the Elder of the Mission Hall temporarily lent his personal mount, the Qingfeng Lion, to Zhou Shan.
Qingfeng Lion, which looks like a lion in appearance, is all cyan, has a pair of wings on its back, and its strength has also reached the level of nine blood exchanges.
Demon beasts with the strength of the Earth Yuan Realm are also extremely rare in the Eight Extremes Heavenly Sect, and basically only the Martial King who has reached the Dan Yuan Realm can have the Earth Yuan Realm Demon Beast as a mount.
After all, it is difficult for wild Earth Yuan Realm demon beasts to be trained and subdued, and most Earth Yuan Realm demon beasts will not surrender to humans even if they die, so only demon beasts that have broken through to the Earth Yuan Realm from a young age will be used by humans.
Zhou Shan left the sect on the Qingfeng Lion and went to the Daqing Dynasty.
This Daqing Dynasty is an intermediate dynasty, and its strength is also among the best among the intermediate dynasties, and its strength is much stronger than the Daliang Dynasty where Zhou Shan has been, and the Dawu Dynasty is much stronger.
The Ling family that Zhou Shan is going to has a Venerable who has reached the Diyuan Realm in charge, although it is not the top force in the Daqing Dynasty, it can be regarded as a powerful party, and the Ling family is located in the waters of the Jiujiang River, and the Ling family is also one of the overlord-level forces.
The waters of Jiujiang are a huge lake, and it can even be said to be an inland sea in the land, with a diameter of more than 10,000 miles.
There are many small islands in the waters of the Jiujiang River.
On these small islands, there are human beings.
Although the waters of Jiujiang are within the territory of the Daqing Dynasty, the people in the waters of Jiujiang rely on the waters to survive and basically rarely deal with the outside world, so the waters of Jiujiang are in a semi-isolated state from the outside world.
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhou Shan came to the sky above the Spirit Turtle Island, where the Ling family was located.
From above, it looks like an island that looks like a turtle.
The Blue Lion descends on the island.
"Where is the strong coming to my Spirit Turtle Island."
The powerful momentum exuded by the Qingfeng Lion immediately attracted the attention of the Ling family's martial artists on Spirit Turtle Island, and more than a dozen Great Masters of the Blood Exchange Realm rushed out and surrounded Zhou Shan.
Recently, from time to time, there have been water thieves attacking Spirit Turtle Island, so the Ling family is all on alert, and there are patrols everywhere.
A demon beast that had reached the realm of nine blood exchanges descended, and these Ling family martial artists were suddenly like facing a great enemy, but the powerful coercion exuded by the Qingfeng Lion made the Ling family martial artists breathe sluggishly, and they couldn't look directly at Zhou Shan standing above the Qingfeng Lion.
"Who is Your Excellency?"
A blue-robed middle-aged man descended, and his body was surging with the Ten Refining True Qi of the Nine Blood Exchange Great Grandmasters, forming a powerful force to compete with Zhou Shan's mount, the Qingfeng Lion.
This person is Ling Tiejun, the head of the Ling family.
"Elder Zheng Xuan asked me to come."
Zhou Shan said lightly.
At the same time, the Qingfeng Lion also calmed down.
Elder Zheng Xuan in Zhou Shankou is the Elder of the Mission Hall.
At this time, Ling Tiejun, the head of the Ling family, also saw Zhou Shan standing on the Qingfeng Lion, wearing the clothes of the true disciple of the Eight Extremes Heavenly Sect.
"It turned out to be the envoy of the Heavenly Sect." Hearing this, Ling Tiejun immediately showed a respectful expression, and then immediately apologized: "Recently, there have often been water thieves from the Blue Rain Thief Group in the vicinity, and even sneaked into the island to spy on the news. ”
Zhou Shan naturally didn't blame him for these trivial things, and said lightly: "Your Ling family's request for help, Elder Zheng Xuan has already received it, and my mission this time is to help your Ling family solve this crisis and kill the leader of the Blue Rain Thief Group." ”
"Yes, I'm going to bother the envoy this time." Ling Tiejun said: "However, this Blue Rain Thief Group is elusive, and it will take some time to find out the specific location of the Blue Rain Thief Group. ”
Ling Tiejun smiled and politely entertained Zhou Shan.
Zhou Shan followed him to the Ling family's station.
Along the way, after a conversation with Ling Tiejun, the head of the Ling family, he also had some understanding of the pattern of the Jiujiang waters.
The entire waters of Jiujiang are nothing more than two forces.
One is the power established by the family living on the island, uniting caravans, fishermen, etc. to form a water village, and the other is naturally a water thief who mainly loots.
To put it simply, it's the white and the underworld.
The Linggui Village established by the Ling family is one of the top five powerful water villages in the waters of Jiujiang, and the small islands with Linggui Island as the center and a radius of 2,000 miles are all respected by the Ling family.
With the strength of the Ling family, the ordinary water thieves in the waters of Jiujiang did not dare to provoke, at most, they robbed some small caravans, and they did not dare to approach Linggui Island at all, but this blue rain thief group was different, it was the fourth-ranked water thief group in the waters of Jiujiang, and it also had a venerable who had reached the Diyuan Realm, so he was not afraid of the Ling family, and attacked Linggui Island many times.
However, Spirit Turtle Island is the Ling family's lair, and there are formations, so even if the Blue Rain Thief Group attacks Spirit Turtle Island many times, they will not attack.
The Blue Rain Thieves attacked the Ling family, most likely for another purpose.
But Ling Tiejun didn't take the initiative to mention it, and Zhou Shan didn't ask.
After a while, Zhou Shan came to Ling's house.
"Old decay Ling Housheng, I have seen the envoy of the Heavenly Sect."
In front of the Ling family's mansion, the ancestor of the Ling family, who got the news, was also greeted at the door.
Ling Housheng, the ancestor of the Ling family, was the only Earth Yuan Realm Venerable of the Ling family, who was over four hundred years old, with white hair and a dragon-headed cane in his hand.
The longevity of the Nine Blood Exchange Grand Masters is about four hundred years, refining the Earth Evil Qi to break through to the Earth Yuan Realm, and the body has been baptized by mana, and the Shou Yuan will also be improved a little because of this.
However, the longevity of the Venerable of the Earth Yuan Realm, that is, about five hundred years, for the Venerable of the Earth Yuan Realm, more than four hundred years old is already considered an advanced age.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
After speaking, this Ling Housheng coughed a few times, and blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Ancestor, are you okay?"
Seeing Ling Housheng vomiting blood, Ling Tiejun immediately stepped forward to support Ling Housheng's arm.
"Some minor injuries, nothing major for the time being." Ling Housheng waved his hand and said, "The Heavenly Sect's envoy has descended on the Ling family, and I naturally want to receive it." ”
"Since Senior Ling is injured, then take a good rest, don't worry about it, I can deal with the Blue Rain Thief Group." Zhou Shan said lightly: "There is no need for some false courtesy, you can find out the location of the Blue Rain Thieves as soon as possible, and notify me directly when the time comes." ”
"Heavenly Sect Envoy, please rest assured, we will definitely do our best to track down the whereabouts of the Blue Rain Thief Group, and we will not let the Heavenly Sect Envoy wait for a long time."
Ling Tiejun said in a deep voice.
"Head of the family, something is wrong."
"The ships of the Blue Rain Thieves appeared ten miles away, and this time, in addition to the Blue Rain Thieves, there are thirteen other water thieves coming from all directions, so this posture is to surround our Spirit Turtle Island."
"Among the thirteen water thieves, in addition to the Blue Rain Thief Group, there are also the Blood Soul Water Thieves and the Python Water Thieves."
At this moment, a warrior immediately ran over to report.
"What, there are also the Blood Soul Water Thieves and the Python Water Thieves!"
Hearing this, Ling Housheng and Ling Tiejun were immediately shocked.
In the waters of Jiujiang, there are six top water thief groups.
These six top water thief groups are all in the hands of the Earth Yuan Realm Venerable.
Among them, the Blue Rain Thieves ranked fourth, while the Blood Soul Water Thieves and the Python Water Thieves ranked fifth and sixth.
Now that these three major water thieves have appeared together ten miles away from Linggui Island, it is definitely not a coincidence, but they are aimed at the Ling family.
The three major water thief groups have three Earth Yuan Realm Venerables, although they have Zhou Shan, the Heavenly Sect's envoy, but Ling Housheng is injured, and he can't exert much combat power at all.
In the case of two against three.
The Ling family is in danger.
