Yang Xian accepted a sect mission. The mission was to investigate the disappearance of mortals of the Zhou family in Wuyin Village. Because within the Lingjian Sect, as an outer disciple, you must complete a sect mission every month and cannot shirk it. Otherwise, why would the sect provide you with a training ground and monthly spiritual stones? The sect’s mission is the core of the sect’s operation. Within the sect, there is something called contribution value as a common currency. This contribution value can only be obtained through Sect tasks, property inheritance, or gains from transactions with the sect, and in order to ensure fairness and justice, the sect stipulates that sect disciples cannot trade contribution values privately. There are five thousand outer sect disciples like Yang Xian in Lingjian Sect, and most of them are in the Qi refining stage. If every outer sect disciple completes tasks according to regulations, the sect will develop more and more. The better.
The sect that Yang Xian belongs to is a third-grade sect. The highest combat power of a third-grade sect corresponds to the Golden Core stage. As the strongest member of the Lingjian Sect, the leader Xuanyi Zhenjun has a cultivation level in the late Golden Core stage. There are 7 other strong people in the Golden Core stage, more than 150 disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage, and more than 5,000 disciples in the Qi Refining stage. The entire Spirit Sword Sect can be considered a behemoth.
As a third-grade sect, the Spirit Sword Sect is so powerful that it occupies an area of 30,000 miles in radius and affects an area of 50,000 miles in radius. It can be considered a vast territory, and only in such a vast area can a third-grade sect survive. If the soil is a fourth-grade sect, the radiation area can easily be hundreds of thousands or millions of miles. Only such a vast area can allow immortal cultivators to move freely, and at the same time, more mortals can survive, so that there is a steady flow of food. Mortals with spiritual roots are constantly joining the sect. Mortals are the foundation of third-grade sects like Lingjian Sect, as well as the second-grade or first-grade sects and families affiliated with them. In this land called Xuanling Continent, the survival of mortals is always subject to many challenges, especially The Lingjian Sect is located on the edge of the Western Wilderness Forest. The survival of mortals is even more difficult, and various problems arise one after another.
The sect mission that Yang Xian received this time was to investigate the disappearance of mortals of the Zhou family in Wuyin Village in the Wuyin Mountains at the edge of the Western Wilderness Forest. This mission was reported by the Zhou family, a first-class family affiliated with the Lingjian Sect. Because this area is the territory of the Zhou family, the Zhou family takes shelter under the big tree of Lingjian Sect. When encountering a situation that cannot be solved, it will report it to Lingjian Sect in time. Lingjian Sect will treat such incidents as a sect. Missions are issued to the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect. Generally, they are divided into three levels: simple, normal and difficult according to the level of difficulty. This time, the mortals in Wuyin Village in the Wuyin Mountains at the edge of the Western Wilderness Forest The missing case investigation mission was released as a first-level simple mission. Investigate the disappearance of mortals in Wuyin Village in the Wuyin Mountains on the edge of the Western Wilderness Forest. It is about 12,000 miles away from the sect. The mission period is three months. It is for cultivating immortals at the third level of Qi Refining and below. Those who can take it will be rewarded with 5 spiritual stones and 2 sect contribution points. Many of these similar investigation tasks are posted in the task hall as sect tasks, and the people who accept the tasks are limited to those who are in the early stage of Qi refining, just to train the low-level outer disciples. The mission hall releases countless missions every year or even every day. Disciples will pick them up every day. There will also be a steady stream of sect missions, such as directly released by the sect, released by sect elders, deacons, and disciples, reported by small families, and subordinates. Report to the sect and so on.
In order to complete the sect's mission, Yang Xian happened to receive this mission. The reward for this mission was not generous at all. Even if he used the wind control technique, a disciple in the early stage of Qi refining could walk about 600 miles a day, and it would take about 40 days to go back and forth. He still had to investigate. According to the situation, the time can only be said to be barely enough. This investigation task is a thankless task. Immortal cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining are more willing to do some tasks that are close and convenient for cultivation, such as taking care of spiritual fields, taking care of elixirs, etc. The sect mines, looks for certain medicinal herbs, guards the alchemy shop and does odd jobs, patrols the sect, guards the cave and other easy tasks. The sect mission that Yang Xian accepted was very risky for those who were cultivating immortals in the early stage of Qi refining because of their low level of cultivation and going out. At the same time, they wasted time on the road for more than a month. The normal cultivation in the early stage of Qi refining could not be guaranteed. You should spend time practicing to increase your cultivation. Time is squeezed in and out, so there is no extra time to waste. Yang Xian is willing to do this sect task because it has a three-month deadline. If he does this task, there will be no other tasks within three months. Although this task is limited to three months, general investigation tasks are very simple. , it can be completed in a few days at most, and if you travel around the clock and save half the time, it can be completed in a month at most, and the remaining two months can be used as you like, whether you focus on practicing or doing other things.
So Yang Xian took over this sect mission and came to the Zhou family for handover. After the handover was completed, he went into the depths of the Wuyin Mountains to explore, but accidentally found the cave of Yinfeng Snake and discovered this century-old dragon-marked spiritual grass. , and this hundred-year-old dragon-marked spiritual grass only has a first-order middle-grade Yin Wind Snake guarding it. Although this first-order middle-grade Yin Wind Snake is at least equivalent to a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator, Yang Xian thought over and over again and relied on two divine walking talismans. Then he danced on the tip of the knife, took the opportunity to grab the grass and fled, and the previous scene happened.
Although the sect's mission has not been completed so far, it has obtained the extremely precious spiritual grass. It took 6 days, plus the 12 days of traveling. At that time, Yang Xian traveled 1,000 miles every day, and it has already taken 18 days. , but no results were obtained, Yang Xian thought to speed up the progress, so he left the temporary cliff where he had stayed for nearly 5 days, and then explored the Wuyin Mountains. Then he continued to search according to the clues provided by the Zhou family, and it turned out that he was getting Surrounding the century-old dragon pattern grass, Yang Xian thought: It seems that he was looking in the right direction at the beginning. Wuyin Village is not far from Wuyin Mountains. Mortals can only disappear within a radius of 20 miles at most. Even those with secular skills can't. However, with a radius of a hundred miles, the entire Wuyin Mountain range stretches for more than 500 miles, and more than 100 miles is considered to be deep into it. How could a mortal disappear to such a far place? The people of the Zhou family did not tell the truth, but this only lasted more than 20 years. How dare a first-class family of Qi Cultivation Immortals deceive this behemoth like the Spirit Sword Sect? There might be something hidden, this sect’s mission is not easy! In other words, if it is a simple task, how can it be reported to the Lingjian Sect?
Yang Xian thought: No wonder the Zhou clan members hesitated to speak when they handed over to me, it was a bit strange, as if they had something to hide, and the way the other party looked at me was also a bit strange, as if with disdain and pity. The other party did not say anything when handing over the task, and as a disciple of Shangzong, Yang Xian did not ask, especially since everyone is a cultivator and has their own privacy. If you inquire into other people's privacy without authorization, you can only say that this is the way to your own destruction.
Yang Xian reviewed the situation of this mission again, and clearly felt that there was something wrong with it. This mission felt that the Zhou family was a bit perfunctory. Yang Xian noticed something was wrong, so he could not act without permission, not to mention that he was still affected by the evil wind. If the snake chases and kills him again, even if he is at the fourth level of Qi refining, which is the middle stage of Qi refining, he will not dare to fight with a spiritual beast of the same level. There are more means than spirit beasts, but the body of spirit beasts is beyond the reach of immortal cultivators. This is innate. Even those who specialize in physical cultivation can only barely approach the physique of spirit beasts at most, and Yang Xian now has only dragon-marked spirit grass. He was so poor outside that if anything else happened during the mission, it could be fatal.
Generally, the means of cultivating immortals, such as elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, formations, etc., are all for assistance. At present, Yang Xian's own magic weapons are still the most common and inferior magic weapons. With the addition of object control skills, sneak attacks are okay. If they attack head-on, The effect is extremely mediocre, and it can only show off its power in front of mortals. Yang Xian fantasizes that if there is a high-quality, low-grade magic weapon, or even a low-grade magic weapon, it will be a different world. However, high-quality, low-grade magic weapons and even low-grade magic weapons are very rare, because when refining a weapon, not only casting but also casting is required. At the same time, suitable materials are required, and the success rate of the refining is also affected. The main reason is that the materials are rare, because those used by cultivators must be high-quality. Ordinary materials cannot withstand the baptism of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The materials of various spiritual minerals are also It needs to be purified before it can be used. Only then can the essence of the material be used to refine magic weapons and become weapons for cultivators.
Under normal circumstances, the weapons of immortal cultivators are divided into two categories: magic weapons and magic weapons. Magic weapons and magic weapons can be divided into three categories: low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade. According to legend, there are also top-grade magic weapons and magic weapons, each level of magic weapons and magic weapons. With the improvement, the power of magic weapons and magic weapons will be several times greater, and the use of magic weapons and magic weapons will also require higher cultivation levels of the cultivators. The magical tools and magic weapons used by immortal cultivators are extremely powerful. Yang Xiandao heard from hearsay: If I have the magic weapon in my hand, I have it in the world.
The most common defective magic weapon in Yang Xian's hand is a semi-finished magic weapon. After the weapon refiner initially failed in the process of refining the magic weapon, the weapon refiner came up with the wonderful idea of reusing the waste and refining it. The product formed the prototype of a defective magic weapon. Later, with the deepening of the research on weapon refining, the defective magic weapon was officially included in the weapon refining category as a standard weapon for low-level immortal cultivators. At the same time, because every sect of the Spirit Sword Sect There are too many outer sect disciples with ten years of income, and there are too few resources for magic weapons. Only some people in the sect can obtain real magic weapons. The disciples who can obtain the magic weapons are the core disciples of the sect and even the foundation-building deacons. They It is the cornerstone of the sect. Most of the outer disciples of the Lingjian Sect like Yang Xian use the most common and inferior magical weapons as standard equipment.
There are three types of defective magic weapons. One is an ordinary defective magic weapon, which depicts 1-3 first-level formation restrictions. The other is a divine weapon-level defective magic weapon, which depicts 4-6 first-order formations. The other is the high-quality defective magic weapon, which depicts 7-9 first-class formation bans. Among them, the ordinary defective magic weapon is mostly used by mortals and casual cultivators, and generally only depicts 1 or 1. There are 2 first-level formation restrictions, and 3 are very rare, because mortals and casual cultivators have low attainments in weapon skills, and sects like the Spirit Sword Sect generally equip their disciples with ordinary inferior magic weapons, but the depiction of 3 first-level formation restrictions were obtained. Even the most common inferior magical weapons issued by the Spirit Sword Sect are better than ordinary inferior magical weapons used by casual cultivators and mortals, because the materials and refining techniques are very different. This is the advantage of large sects.
Yang Xian calculated silently. This sect mission seems to have gone beyond the simple level of a first-class investigation. Although it is just an investigation, it can be divided into several situations. The actual cause must at least be found out. As for whether it can be solved , that’s another matter. Yang Xian took out the black iron sword from his storage bag and held it tightly in his hand, as if this way he could feel safe. Yang Xian thought, fortunately, he was already in the middle stage of Qi refining, and it shouldn't be a problem to do a simple investigation. As for whether it could be solved, that was another matter. Moreover, the 500-mile-long Misty Mountains were only just a few kilometers away from the sect. Twelve thousand miles away, if something had happened, the problem would have been solved by the sect's high-level immortal cultivators long ago, so safety would not be a problem. Moreover, Yang Xian had also checked the information on the Wuyin Mountains before he came, and the high-level immortal cultivators of the sect had also explored it. There were only some first-order low-grade and first-order mid-grade spiritual beasts in the mountains, and the number was not large. At the same time, the Wuyin Mountains There is a mist-like formation formed by natural mist in the depths. This formation is not worth mentioning to high-level immortal cultivators, but for these first-order spiritual beasts and Qi-refining stage cultivators, it feels like walking into a maze. , it is easy to get lost, and at the same time, this also prevents the spiritual beasts from the Hidden Mist Mountains from coming out to harm one side. If they could cause harm, they would have been eradicated countless times by the behemoth of the Spirit Sword Sect. It just exists! No impact at all.
