Chapter 496: Chapter 494: Is There Still Time to Kill the Demon Beast Now?_1
As for safety, he wasn’t too worried.
This so-called Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting is jointly organized by the Wanbao Building and several major forces in the Cultivation World, all of which have a good reputation, guaranteeing safety to the fullest extent.
Furthermore, Lu Xuan’s own cultivation level has reached the late-stage Foundation Establishment, and he has many fifth-grade magical artifacts protecting him. Even if he encounters a Core Formation cultivator, he has a high chance of escaping from their grasp.
With these many treasures as his backup, he didn’t have to be excessively cautious like before.
“If it really gets to that, I can invite a few Senior Brothers of Authentic Teachings to join me,”
Lu Xuan thought to himself, and then turned to look at the short, fat old man.
“May I trouble Head Li to give me an invitation to the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting. I should be able to attend.”
“Of course, good friend, please keep it safe,”
The short, fat old man obliged amiably and handed Lu Xuan a gilded invitation engraved with intricate symbols.
“There’s a small arrangement on the invitation. When the time comes, there will be an abnormal reaction. At that time, you can inspire it with spiritual power, and a route map will appear on it, leading you to the location of the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting,”
He explained to Lu Xuan in detail.
Lu Xuan nodded. He hadn’t found what he was looking for during this visit to Wanbao Building. However, learning about the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting was an unexpected gain.
He left Sword Gate Town and returned to the sect.
“How can I obtain a large amount of high-grade monster beast’s flesh and blood?”
This question lingered in his mind.
Suddenly, he had an epiphany.
“That’s it! If I can’t get it directly, I might as well get it indirectly.”
“I can set a related task in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. I have a lot of rewards from the light clusters, and this would be a good opportunity to use some of them.”
“The Sky Sword Sect is vast and incorporates hundreds to thousands of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who can all be of use to me.”
“It’s quite common to encounter high-grade monster beasts while exploring the Secret Lands. After killing them, apart from the most precious parts on their corpses, the remaining flesh and blood will usually be disposed of at a low price.”
“I can set a task in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and have them hunt and gather high-grade monster beast’s flesh and blood for me.”
Lu Xuan found the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.
Without pausing to rest, he came to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
In the main hall, a generous wall was full of flickering task information, too much for the eye to follow.
The tasks in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall had increased significantly following the outbreak of Demon Envoys in the Cultivation World.
Lu Xuan bypassed the crowd, entered the inner hall, and found a Deacon.
“Brother, I want to publish a task.”
He asked the Foundation Establishment First-term Stage practitioner.
“It’s Brother Lu. You’re legendary here in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall for your sweeping acquisitions of Spirit Plant tasks. Please tell me about the task content, requirements, rewards, etc.”
The deacon’s eyes brightened upon seeing Lu Xuan.
“Task content: hunt and collect the flesh and blood from high-grade monster beasts. Specifically, fourth-grade monster beasts. You can choose any part of the beast’s body.”
“The task’s reward is simple, you can exchange a complete fourth-grade monster beast corpse for a Sword Nurturing Gourd given by me.”
“Three fourth-grade monster beast corpses can be exchanged for a fourth-grade elixir, the Dust Removal Pill. The final judgement is up to me. I can adjust the reward according to the amount of flesh and blood.”
Lu Xuan explained slowly.
“Dust Removal Pill?”
The recording deacon paused in surprise.
“Is it the Dust Removal Pill that can dispel the Evil Spite Qi from different species?”
“That’s correct.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
“Brother Lu, can I still hunt the monster beasts now?”
The deacon jokingly asked.
The appeal of Lu Xuan’s task was too strong.
The third-grade Sword Nurturing Gourd is considered a rare treasure within the sect. Although it is a spirit plant, it contains a strong Sword Qi, which is no less than many third-rank magic weapons.
As for the fourth-grade Dust Removal Pill, that goes without saying.
Items and elixirs that can eliminate and purify Evil Spite Qi are extremely rare and valuable. With the current situation of the Cultivation World, they are very much coveted.
It made him seriously consider resigning from his post as a deacon in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to go hunt monsters.
Lu Xuan chuckled, not taking the Deacon’s words to heart. After paying some rewards for publishing the task, he quietly left.
Detailed information about the task gradually appeared on the large screen in the main hall, catching the attention of a few sharp-eyed fellow cultivators.
“A task to hunt a fourth-grade monster beast? With such a high difficulty, few people will probably take it.”
“This task requirement is so weird. It doesn’t need the best parts of the fourth-grade monster beast and only needs the flesh and blood?”
“The reward is a third-grade Sword Nurturing Gourd. That’s quite good.”
“Wait, a fourth-grade Dust Removal Pill? Am I seeing this right?!”
The surprise was clear in the voices of the cultivators.
This kind of elixir is always in short supply in the Cultivation World. Considering the current situation, they become even rarer, so it’s surprising that one appeared in such a mundane task.
More and more cultivators focused on this task, discussing it amongst themselves.
“The reward for this task is extremely generous!”
“It is generous, but one must also be able to secure it! I doubt anyone here is confident enough to easily handle a fourth-grade monster beast!”
“Who hasn’t killed a fourth-grade monster beast while exploring the Secret land? If you bring five weakened corpses of the beast, you can exchange it for a fourth-grade Dust Removal Pill. Once this opportunity is missed, it will be gone forever!”
In the task conditions, although the third-grade Nurturing Sword Gourd and the fourth-grade monster flesh have a rank difference, one can be used as a magical weapon while the other can only serve as cultivation resources.
Moreover, most of the value of a monster lies in the most important parts of its body. The task allows cultivators to keep the most precious parts of the monster, which makes the rewards look even more generous.
Lu Xuan stood in the corner, watching the reactions of the people, feeling satisfied.
The Sword Nurturing Gourd and the Dust Removal Pill are both obtained from the light clusters. If he can exchange them for enough fourth-grade monster flesh and blood and successfully cultivate the Blood Scourge Flower and Spirit of Flesh completely, then it would be a fair deal.
“Is there anyone who would like to join us to the Black Demon Abyss? We already have three Foundation Establishment First-term Stage cultivators, each with our own specialties. We can team up to hunt fourth-grade monster beasts.”
“We need one sword cultivator with experience in killing fourth-grade monster beasts and one cultivator skilled in Healing Techniques, female is preferred. Please come quickly if you meet the requirements!”
“Hey, do you guys think, with such a lucrative reward, why not just buy three fourth-grade monster beast corpses from the Marketplace?”
“Junior Brother, you have opened a new line of thought.”
Lu Xuan, who had noticed the commotion, chuckled gently. To avoid any loopholes, he had thought carefully before devising the task.
If the amount of the fourth-grade monster flesh handed in was not much, he could adjust the task reward himself.
All interpretation rights were in his hands.
