"Senior, I don't have many spiritual stones, and I don't have many spiritual materials and rare treasures. Therefore, I choose to work for you."
Xiao Hua decided to use the third way to join the club.
"Okay, since I decided to use the third way to join the membership, let's sign the contract with all our blood. Once the contract is signed, you can choose a task that needs to be completed for me."
After Deacon Li finished speaking, he took out a yellowed parchment roll from his storage bag and placed it in front of Xiao Hua.
The first volume of the parchment scroll was printed with a series of strange runes. The entire scroll was wrapped in a layer of faint red blood, and a paragraph was written in the middle.
"I swear to the Blood Demon that I voluntarily complete a task for Xianyuan Pavilion as a qualification for membership. If I regret it, I am willing to suffer the Heart Devouring of the Blood Demon."
Looking at the content written on the parchment scroll, Xiao Hua hesitated again.
He had an inner demon because he broke his oath to the Minotaur, and now he had to swear an oath to this blood demon. He was a little flustered.
"No way, Senior Li, do you have to swear an oath to join a group? Can you not do it?"
"No, joining the association is not a child's play. You must sign a contract, and once you swear, you must not break it, otherwise you will be devoured by the blood demon. After seven, seven and forty-nine days, the violator will be destroyed physically and mentally, and will never be reincarnated."
"Ah, so cruel? No, if you fail to complete the task, you will most likely not join the association. But once you make an oath, it means you have to complete it. Isn't this fair?"
Xiao Hua always had the feeling that he would be controlled by others after signing a contract and swearing an oath, and he began to feel nervous again.
"All information in this pavilion is confidential and may not be disclosed to outsiders, including the membership tasks. As long as you make a choice, you must complete it unless you die, but we will not force you to make your own decision."
"This? Hiss, oh, this...".
Xiao Hua is very confused. It seems that this Xianyuan Pavilion is really difficult to enter.
"Don't worry, little friend. The contract is only valid for those who choose to join the club but do not complete it. As long as you complete the task, the contract will automatically become invalid."
"Well, uh, okay then, just sign it and treat it as if you're on a pirate ship."
Silver agreed.
He had no choice but to get the materials he needed without joining the association, and it was too dangerous to reveal his wealth, so he had no choice but to sign.
Xiao Hua used the sword light to prick his fingertips and dripped a few drops of blood into the parchment.
As soon as the blood entered the parchment, the runes at the beginning of the scroll flashed for a while, and then the blood glowed, and a terrifying ghostly face appeared on the scroll, sucking up the blood dripping on the scroll, and then disappeared instantly.
"Very good, then congratulations, little friend. These are trial tasks, regardless of level. You should be optimistic and don't just pick a task that can only be done in the Nascent Soul stage."
Deacon Li put away the parchment and handed Xiao Hua a jade slip.
Xiao Hua put the jade slip on his forehead.
"Cultivation of spiritual herbs, refining of elixirs, collection of spiritual materials, search for monks, killing of beasts and demons, refining of magic weapons, refining of formations, collection of elixirs and prescriptions, searching for lost objects... ".
The tasks in the jade slips are divided into several major categories, and many subcategories are detailed under each major category.
The first thing Xiao Hua looked at was the alchemy category. He is now a junior alchemist and he thinks this is the easiest.
But when he saw that the requirements were for elixirs that could be taken at or above the golden elixir stage, he gave up immediately.
Not to mention that he didn't have the recipe, he just couldn't find all the ingredients.
Xiao Hua looked at the spiritual material collection category again. He had a lot of monster materials on him, and wanted to see if there were any that were just right.
But he was soon disappointed again. What he was looking for inside were some rare spiritual materials that he had never heard of.
Xiao Hua has a big head. In addition to refining alchemy, he also has some monster materials in his body, but neither of these are good.
He didn't even understand cultivating spiritual herbs, refining weapons and forming formations. As for finding people, finding objects, and collecting elixirs, they were even more unreliable. Not only did they take a lot of time, but they also relied on luck. It was simply impossible to complete.
Xiao Hua regretted a little. What he could have done by paying the spirit stones directly became more and more complicated.
"Kill a mutated sixth-level golden-haired ancient ape and collect a bottle of spiritual blood. This beast lives on the third floor of the Shennongjia Secret Realm. It contains the blood of the ancient true spirit Five Mountains Giant Ape. Its body is as hard as iron and it can transform."
"Special note, there are five levels in the Shennongjia Secret Realm, which correspond to the Qi Refining Stage, the Foundation Building Stage, the Golden Elixir Stage, the Nascent Soul Stage and the Divine Transformation Stage."
Xiao Hua couldn't help but feel moved when he saw this.
Under the category of killing beasts and demons, Xiao Hua saw a mission to kill level six monsters. This mission was very similar to the situation he encountered in Lingshan.
It is also a secret realm that limits the realm of cultivation, and it is also necessary to kill monsters beyond the level.
But Xiao Hua is now in the early stage of Golden Elixir, which is relatively easier than when he killed the sixth-level white-haired orangutan in Lingshan when he was only in the middle stage of foundation building.
"I choose this one, kill the ancient ape."
Xiao Hua finally made up his mind and returned the jade slip to Deacon Li.
"You have to think carefully. Once the trial mission is selected, it cannot be changed. It cannot be terminated until you complete the mission or die."
Seeing that Xiao Hua had chosen so quickly, Deacon Li reminded him.
"I can't even think about it. I have no choice."
"These tasks in it either depend on chance or take a lot of time. If you really choose those tasks that don't seem to be dangerous, then you don't know how long it will take to become your member."
Xiao Hua shook his head and refused to change.
"Well, once the task is selected, it will disappear from the task list and the contract will take effect."
After Deacon Li finished speaking, he took out a vial containing animal blood and wrote the mission content on the parchment.
After finishing writing, Deacon Li got up and went to a room in the courtyard. When he came back, he handed Xiao Hua a jade slip.
"Here are the details of the trial mission you chose. Take a good look at it."
Xiao Hua took the jade slip and put it on his forehead.
The jade slips record information about the secret realm of Shennongjia and the golden-haired ancient ape, but they are not very detailed and many places are briefly mentioned.
The final requirement of this mission is to obtain a demon elixir and a bottle of spiritual blood from the golden-haired ancient ape within three years.
"Senior Li, I would like to ask, do I have to come back here after completing my mission? Also, if I want to buy or sell any items in the future, do I have to come here every time?"
"Of course you have to hand in the trial tasks in person. As for becoming a member, you are not qualified to know yet. I will tell you when you complete the tasks and become a member."
Deacon Li sold it out.
"Okay, then should I do the mission now?".
Xiao Hua was said to be a little depressed.
"Then it's up to you. The duration of your mission is three years. You can go whenever you want, as long as you can get the mission items within three years, hehe."
Deacon Li smiled meaningfully.
"Damn, I knew that once I signed this agreement or something, there would be trouble. Forget it, I'd better go do the mission now. It's early, it's better, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
Xiao Hua really regretted it, but it was too late to regret it. He could only complete this task as soon as possible.
