Chapter 396: Mission in Taishou Mountain Range
Ye Changsheng is somewhat dissatisfied with the current patrol system in Tianyuan City.
After completing a mission, he would rest for half a year. For a cultivator who was practicing Qi Refining or Building Foundation, half a year might be considered a long time.
But for a cultivator of his level, he can't accomplish much in half a year, so this amount of rest time is not much different from having no rest at all.
His training plan was seriously disrupted by these patrols.
"Although I am no longer afraid of the problem with the Dust-Destroying Pill, it seems inappropriate to leave like this!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
Now if he wants to obtain long-term and stable practice, there are only a few ways for him to go.
One is to sneak away from Tianyuan City and hide in a place of the human race to practice.
However, this option is extremely risky. If you leave Tianyuan City without permission, you will be hunted down by both the human and demon races.
With all kinds of secret techniques emerging in the spiritual world, Ye Changsheng cannot guarantee that he will not be discovered or detected.
Moreover, it is impossible for him to stay in one place forever. He has to move around and look for various resources to break through.
Just sitting in a cave and practicing hard will not help you improve.
Therefore, this approach will definitely not work and will definitely be found out.
The second way is to enter the wilderness and leave the territories of the human and demon races. Once he disappears in the wilderness, Tianyuan City will not take him seriously.
But doing so is equally dangerous, more dangerous than staying in some place between the human and demon races. With his current cultivation level at the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation, the risk is too high to venture into the wilderness!
Therefore, Ye Changsheng temporarily ruled out this path.
He will definitely have to venture into the wilderness in the future. If he wants to cultivate to a higher level, this is the only way.
However, it is not appropriate now because my cultivation is too low!
Well, after much thought, there is only a third way.
Go and take on some of the more dangerous missions issued by the Elders' Council. Completing each mission can help you recuperate for dozens or even hundreds of years!
Taking all factors into consideration, this is the safest way.
At least it's safer than going out into the wilderness now.
So, after making this decision, Ye Changsheng began to pay attention to this special task.
As a result, after a few years, he actually found a suitable task.
Looking at the special tasks issued by the Elders' Council, Ye Changsheng had a thoughtful look on his face.
After a while, he went to a hall called Tianguang Hall.
This is where the elders of Tianyuan City give sermons once every ten years, and it is also the place to accept special missions issued by them.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, do you really want to accept this mission issued by Senior Lei Luo?" In the Tianguang Hall, a Divine Transformation cultivator looked at Ye Changsheng with a look of surprise on his face.
"Yes, is there any problem?" Ye Changsheng asked in surprise.
"It's nothing, it's just that fellow Daoist is only in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation stage now, and it seems unnecessary for you to accept this kind of task..." The Spiritual Transformation cultivator shook his head, looking puzzled.
"I am just preparing for a rainy day. What I get from this mission will be useful sooner or later!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
"Well, since Fellow Daoist Ye has made up his mind, I won't say much. With Fellow Daoist Ye's magical powers, it shouldn't be a problem for him to take on this kind of task that only late-stage cultivators can take on!" said the Jindan cultivator, handing Ye Changsheng a token.
"Fellow Daoist Ye can take this item to Yueling Hall to meet up with the other Daoists who have accepted the mission. Once the number of people is gathered, you can set off!"
Ye Changsheng nodded upon hearing this, took the token, and walked towards a palace called Yueling Palace in the giant green tower.
In a short while, he saw a stone door with the words "Yueling Palace" engraved on it.
The token in his hand shook, and a ray of light flew out of the token, and then the restriction on the stone door dissipated.
With a "click-click" sound, the stone door opened and Ye Changsheng walked in.
In front of me was an empty hall with only some tables and chairs, nothing else.
On three of the chairs, there were three people wearing Qingming Guard armor. When they saw Ye Changsheng coming in, the three of them showed surprise and surprise on their faces.
"Who are you?" A middle-aged man in brocade robe in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm stood up and asked in surprise.
"Brother Luo, you are so ignorant. This should be Fellow Daoist Ye. He is a well-known figure among us ascended monks!" Next to the man in brocade robe was an old man with wrinkles on his face and rosacea. At this moment, he said this leisurely.
"It's Fellow Daoist Ye?! My apologies!" Upon hearing this, the man in brocade robe immediately became respectful. His expression changed and he bowed solemnly to Ye Changsheng and said.
"Thank you for being so polite, my two Taoist friends. I am indeed Ye Changsheng. May I ask what your names are?" Ye Changsheng said with a warm smile on his face and bowed.
The man in brocade robe, the old man with rosacea, and a middle-aged woman with a sick face next to him, three cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm gathered here.
It seems that they are all the people who have accepted that special mission.
"My name is Luo Hui, and the people next to me are Fellow Daoist Huang and Madam Sun!" The big man in brocade robe pointed at the two people beside him and introduced them.
"Hello, two fellow Taoists!" Ye Changsheng said with a bow.
The old man with rosacea and the middle-aged woman stood up without delay and bowed to him.
The three late-stage Jinhua cultivators looked at Ye Changsheng with caution in their eyes, and did not dare to look down on him because of his cultivation level.
This is no wonder. After all, Ye Changsheng’s battle record in the past few years is indeed a bit scary.
During his patrol of the Fuli Swamp, in addition to the first time he killed four elf cultivators, he also often killed or captured alive the alien gods in the following few times.
So far, no one in his team has been killed or injured, which naturally made Ye Changsheng famous among the Jindan cultivators in Tianyuan City.
It is said that even an ascended monk elder in the Elder Council noticed his name.
Although he is still only a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, everyone now treats him as a cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
"The three of us have been taking on this task for several days, but we haven't been waiting for the fourth person to come. We didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Ye would actually take on this task!" said the big man in brocade robe with surprise.
The old man with rosacea also nodded and said, "We took this mission firstly for the real toad spirit blood that we can get in the process of completing the mission, and secondly for the hundreds of years of recuperation. What is your purpose, Fellow Daoist Ye?"
"Of course, Ye is also here for these two things!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, the other three looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"The True Toad Liquid refined from the True Toad Spirit Blood is something that can only be used by cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation to improve their magic power. I didn't expect that Brother Ye had already started preparing for it in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation!" said the old man with rosacea in surprise.
"With Fellow Daoist Ye's magical powers, it is only a matter of time before he enters the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. It is not a bad idea to make preparations now. With Fellow Daoist Ye's help, we will be more confident of this trip!" The middle-aged woman with a sick face suddenly said.
"Madam Sun is right. Now that everyone is here, let's notify Senior Zhao!" said the man in brocade robe.
Immediately, the old man with rosacea wrote and drew on a flying sword for a while, then raised his hand and shot the flying sword out.
The flying sword turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
Then, the four of them sat on the chairs and were silent for a while.
Ye Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled the content of this mission in his mind.
The mission assigned by Master Lei Luo was to ask them to go to a place called Taishou Mountain Range to hunt a strange beast called Jinshi Beast.
The flesh and blood of this golden stone beast looks like a golden stone, and it has all kinds of incredible uses.
The flesh and blood of this golden stone beast is the main material of the Jintingzhou, an extremely important magical weapon in Tianyuan City. Therefore, this strange beast is of great significance to Tianyuan City.
But this kind of strange beast can only survive in the Taishou Mountains, and the Taishou Mountains is a very dangerous place, with all kinds of high-level ancient beasts appearing in endlessly. Therefore, hunting this kind of golden stone beast is very risky.
Normally, not many people would dare to take on such an extremely dangerous task. That is why the Tianyuan City Elder Council would offer a reward of a hundred years of recuperation after completing such a task.
Moreover, there is another benefit during the execution of this mission.
That is, in the area near the activity range of the Golden Stone Beast, there is a real toad nest, in which a large number of real toads live.
This real toad is a very important thing for a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
The real toad liquid refined with its spiritual blood is the best spiritual object for cultivators in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation to improve their magic power .
The temptation of the real toad liquid, plus the reward of a hundred years of cultivation, attracted these late-stage Jindan cultivators to participate in this mission.
However, even so, the people who joined this mission this time all seemed to be ascended monks.
I don’t know whether the local monks are afraid to take on this task or what.
After the old man sent out the flying sword, everyone waited for a while, and then the stone door flashed and opened.
Two figures walked in from outside. One of them looked to be in his thirties, with a fair face and no beard. It was Zhao Wugui, the Lianxu Tianwei whom Ye Changsheng knew.
The other person was an old man with a goatee. He had a higher level of cultivation and was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm.
After the two came in, when Zhao Wugui saw Ye Changsheng, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, are you also here to participate in this mission?" Zhao Wugui asked in surprise.
"Yes, I will need a long period of time without being disturbed, so I will take on this task!" Ye Changsheng stood up and said with a bow.
Zhao Wugui glanced at him with a strange look on his face, and then said, "Forget it, since you have already joined, Zhao can't say much!"
"With your magical powers, you are qualified to join this mission!"
As Zhao Wugui was speaking, the old man with a goatee next to him also looked at Ye Changsheng carefully, with a strange look in his eyes.
Obviously, this person had also heard of Ye Changsheng's reputation.
After greeting the other three, Zhao Wugui slowly said, "You have roughly understood the content of the mission. I am glad that everyone here is an ascended monk. After all, this mission is actually one of the benefits that Master has obtained for the ascended monks!"
"What do you mean, senior?" Upon hearing this, the man in brocade robe's expression changed and he asked hurriedly.
"This is a special task issued by my master. It is prepared for the Taoists in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation among the ascended cultivators. Otherwise, how could there be such a good thing that one can obtain the True Toad Spirit Liquid and get a hundred years of recuperation period?" Zhao Wugui said .
"Then why is it that no one among the local cultivators has accepted this task? If I remember correctly, the place where the task is received does not indicate that only ascended cultivators can receive this task!" Ye Changsheng asked with a flash of his eyes and a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
Looking at him, Zhao Wugui smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye asked a very good question. In fact, there are local cultivators who want to take on this task!"
" In the past few days, Zhao has met two or three local late-stage gods who wanted to take on this task. Unfortunately, when they learned the specific content of the task, they immediately gave up!" Zhao Wugui said, shaking his head.
Upon hearing his words, the big man in brocade robe, the old man with rosacea and others were all shocked.
What are the specific contents of the task?
Is there something else being hidden from them?
And this thing can make those local late-stage divine cultivators give up as soon as they hear it, which is obviously a huge danger.
When they thought of this, the faces of the three men immediately turned ugly.
Ye Changsheng, on the other hand, had a thoughtful look on his face, and his expression did not change much.
Zhao Wugui and the old man with a goatee naturally noticed the changes in the expressions of these four people. When they saw Ye Changsheng's calm look, admiration flashed in their eyes.
"Excuse me, senior, is there anything else you haven't told me about this mission?" The big man in brocade robe asked with a twitch of his mouth and bowed.
"Of course some things are concealed in the mission. If these things were made public, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to take on this mission!" Zhao Wugui said with a faint smile.
When they heard what he said, the faces of the three men became even uglier.
"There was nothing unusual in the place where the golden stone beast was active. But in recent years, for some reason, a dragon at the peak of the refining void realm suddenly appeared there. If we want to hunt the golden stone beast, we will inevitably come into conflict with the dragon!" Zhao Wugui said calmly.
When they heard what he said, the expressions of the three men changed drastically.
"A dragon at the peak of the Refined Void Realm, are you kidding me, senior? How can we deal with such a creature?" The old man with rosacea could not help but exclaimed.
The faces of the man in brocade robe and the woman surnamed Sun suddenly turned gloomy , and they almost immediately had the idea of withdrawing from this mission.
If Tianyuan City does not send out elders at the fusion level to deal with a dragon at the peak of the refining void realm, it will take at least five or six cultivators at the middle to late stage of the refining void realm.
Letting these godsend monks run over there, wouldn't that be courting death?
