This is a small town on the edge of Jumang Kingdom, and the highest-level monk in the city is just a Yuandian monk.
Ning Fan sat alone in the wine shop, leaning against the window, which was covered with hibiscus trees.
This tree looks like a hibiscus and is full of fiery red flowers. The breeze blows, and the city is filled with the fragrance of vegetation.
Ning Fan took a sip of wine and listened to the chatter in the wine shop.
A few tables of drinkers were talking about the new Fire Emperor in the Fire Realm, while other tables of drinkers were talking about the battle between the Mountain Realm and the Earthly Immortal Realm.
There was a table of drinkers talking about the third realm gate, the Tanggu Realm Gate, and there was also a table of drinkers talking about the Dan Emperor of the Rain Realm. It seemed that the Dan Emperor's breakthrough in the seventh-turn alchemy technique had spread to the Rain Realm.
Naturally, what everyone talks about the most is the demon wanted by the entire Beishuhai, a ruthless man who dares to kill even the disciples of the Vine Emperor.
"I heard that the person who killed the disciples of Emperor Teng was named Lu Bei. Now Emperor Teng has rewarded him. Whoever kills this person can get tens of billions of immortal jade and ten bottles of six-turn elixirs... tsk Tsk tsk, 10 billion immortal jade, that much money is enough to buy an entire superior cultivation country, right?"
"It is said that Lu Bei has three heads, six hands, and eight feet. He is a survivor of the Ghost Tree clan. Because his family was destroyed, he resented the Teng Emperor..."
"What! Lu Bei is actually a member of the Ghost Tree Clan! How come I heard that he is the young patriarch of the Heather Clan..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your cultivation level is too low, and you have never seen Lu Bei's wanted notice. I just left Lu Zhou Kingdom half a month ago and entered Jumang Kingdom. Jumang Kingdom is the Bamboo King's force, so no one wants Lu Bei. North, but the Luzhou Kingdom is the power of Emperor Teng. All the cities in the country are covered with wanted posters for Lu Bei... I have seen Lu Bei's face from the wanted posters. This person is not the three-headed and six-armed person rumored to be. He doesn’t look evil, he just looks like a weak scholar...Huh? Let me take a look, yes, he looks very similar to the queen at the table opposite..."
As soon as this man finished speaking, many of the drinkers glanced at Ning Fan.
First he was startled. Then everyone laughed.
"Brother Sun, please don't joke with us. How could the big devil from Lu Bei be so weak? Haha, haha..."
There was a commotion in the wine shop, and Ning Fan gradually turned a deaf ear to it.
After drinking the water and wine, he suddenly stood up, leaving ten fairy jade pieces on the wine table, and floated away.
Ning Fan has decided to enter the East Shuhai and buy a large number of tree fruits to enhance the meaning of rain.
The gate to the realm opens every three years, and there are still two years until the next opening. The boundary-breaking light that isolates the four seas of trees is too powerful. The immortal touched the light that broke through the world. It will turn into ashes.
Ning Fan's cultivation level is still low. It is not enough to forcefully break through the light that breaks the world with magical powers. He wanted to cross the boundary gate, but he was not willing to wait for two years. Naturally, he needed to go to the capital of Jumang to complete a task for the leader of Jumang.
Ning Fan left the wine shop. It turned into a flying rainbow and galloped eastwards.
Half a day later, the King's City of Jumang was already visible in the distance.
Yiyi City, the royal city of Jumang Kingdom, is a huge tree city covering an area of thousands of miles.
It is said that tens of millions of years ago, there was no Yiyi City here, but a vast wilderness. In the center of the wilderness, there was a towering hibiscus tree.
This tree gave birth to countless hibiscus tree demons, who established their capitals here and established the Fuso Kingdom.
Outside Yiyi City. Thousands of monks are coming and going.
Ning Fan stopped his escaping light, landed outside Yiyi City, and followed the crowd into Yiyi City.
As soon as Fang entered the city, he immediately sent out his spiritual thoughts and vaguely sensed twelve or three refining auras in Yiyi City.
Ning Fan did not investigate the origins of these people in detail. I just want to know the number of high-level monks in the city and the location of the palace.
After identifying the location of the palace in the royal city, Ning Fan moved forward slowly, occasionally moving hundreds of miles.
We passed many cultivation shops along the way. This place is adjacent to the East Shuhai and sells many sacred tree fruits.
Ning Fan walked around the city for half an hour and spent more than 100 million in immortal jade to buy more than 4 sacred tree fruits.
Ning Fan's rain power is now at the fourth level. According to his estimation, if he wants to break through the third level rain power, he needs to swallow at least one divine tree fruit.
It is much more difficult to advance from the fourth level to the third level than from the fifth level to the fourth level.
The further you go, the larger the number of divine tree fruits you need. If you want to advance to the first level of Yuyi, you don’t know how many divine tree fruits you need to spend.
In addition to the tree divine fruit, Ning Fan also purchased a lot of spiritual materials for repairing the puppets.
Half an hour later, Ning Fan appeared outside the royal palace.
This is a palace built after hollowing out a giant tree. There are twelve teams of monks patrolling outside the palace gate. The leaders of each team of monks are cultivators of gods.
The palace generally does not allow low-level monks to approach. Only some old monsters who want to cross the realm gate will come to the palace to find the king and accept the Bamboo Emperor's mission.
When Ning Fan came with a smile, a group of monks immediately came to greet him.
The leader of the spirit transformation commander was a demon cultivator. He sent out his spiritual thoughts and swept towards Ning Fan, but he was unable to sense the slightest breath of Ning Fan.
The evil aura hidden under Ning Fan's smile was like an untouchable demonic abyss, causing the demon soul in the dantian of this transformed god to tremble violently...
The Transformation God Commander's eyes were solemn, and it only took him a moment to realize that the young man in white with a slight smile in front of him was a dignified old monster who was practicing Void Refining, and he was also a demon who had killed countless people.
Whether he is a demon or not is none of his business. The commander of the transformed gods only understands that since the other party has come to the palace, he naturally wants to find the king to take over the task.
"Commander Tang Chen of the Fuso Guards is here to pay his respects to the seniors. I wonder if the seniors are here to find the Lord of the Kingdom to accept a mission and cross the border gate?"
The commander of the Transformation God spoke in a very respectful tone, but he did not recognize Ning Fan's appearance at all, and did not know that Ning Fan was the person wanted by Emperor Teng.
"Yes, I have thought about Tanggu Realm Gate and don't want to wait two years in vain, so I came to find the Lord of Jumang Kingdom." Ning Fan's smile did not diminish, but no one among the guards dared to look at him.
"That being the case, senior, let me come."
The transformed god commander ordered the other guards to continue patrolling, while he himself led Ning Fan into the palace.
Along the way, the commander enthusiastically explained the overview of the Realm Gate mission.
From the North Shuhai to the East Shuhai, there are six realm gates. The gate in Jumang Kingdom is the third realm gate, adjacent to Tanggu, and is called the Tanggu realm gate.
The three large seas of trees in the east, west and south are divided by tree kings and are difficult to enter.
But if you enter the North Tree Sea from the East Tree Sea, it is very easy, because the North Tree Sea is an unowned land.
Over the years, many Void Refining old monsters did not want to wait for the gate to open, so they came to look for the Lord of Jumang to accept the mission.
These tasks are all issued by the Bamboo Emperor, and the tasks may be difficult or easy.
The task in the hands of the Lord of Jumang. According to the difficulty level, it is divided into five stars.
The mission of Peeping into the Void has one star, the mission of Asking the Void has two stars, the mission of Conquering the Void has three stars, the mission of Taixu has four stars, and the mission of Shattering the Void has five stars.
Completing tasks of any star level will give you the opportunity to pass through the gate and obtain task rewards of different star levels.
Ning Fan looked thoughtful. If he only wanted to pass through the world gate, he would naturally choose the simplest one-star mission to complete.
But if it is a difficult task, generous rewards will be given. He will also consider completing difficult tasks.
Not long after. Ning Fan walked through the palaces. Arrive at the main hall.
The Transformation God Commander respectfully resigned. In the main hall, a tall, bald old man stood with a smile.
The old man was about nine feet tall and skinny as a stick. Wearing a green robe with wide sleeves, his temples are bulging high, and his skin is as dry as tree bark.
His whole body exuded the aura of the Taixu realm, he stared at Ning Fan expressionlessly, and suddenly said,
"Are you Lu Bei? The demon cultivator who ordered Emperor Teng to arrest the whole world? You are very courageous. The entire Beishu Sea is clearly looking for you, but you still dare to come to our country of Jumang openly. You are not afraid that I will capture you and hand you over. Is the Vine Emperor accepting the reward?"
"Oh? Lu doesn't know. The Bamboo Emperor's subordinates will obey the Teng Emperor's orders and help the Teng Emperor capture people."
Ning Fan smiled vaguely, with a calm expression. He was not worried at all about the old man in front of him catching him, nor was he surprised that the old man could recognize his identity.
Now the Shuhai in the west and north are looking for him. The low-level monks may not recognize his appearance, but the high-level monks may have a wanted warrant for Ning Fan.
Ning Fan neither thought that the old man would catch him nor that the old man could catch him.
The old man saw that Ning Fan's expression was calm and calm, without any change in his expression. He was obviously an ascetic who had experienced great storms. His eyes showed approval and he suddenly burst into laughter.
"I, Tang Xiong, the leader of Jumang Kingdom! The talk of arrest before was just a joke with fellow Taoist Lu. I am a subordinate of the Bamboo Emperor, so naturally I will not help Emperor Teng to arrest people. Fellow Daoist Lu is not surprised at all, even though he is just asking about Xu's cultivation level. But this courage is much greater than some old monsters who rush to the void, I admire you!"
Tang Xiong cupped his fists and saluted Ning Fan, and Ning Fan smiled lightly and returned the salute.
"Lu has met the Lord of Jumang. This time he came to Jumang to take on a mission to cross the boundary gate and enter the East Tree Sea."
"Accepting the mission..."
Tang Xiong looked at Ning Fan briefly and suddenly asked, "Dare you ask fellow Daoist Lu why you entered Dongshuhai?"
Tang Xiong was guarding the gate for the Bamboo Emperor, so he naturally wanted to ask Ning Fan about his purpose.
Ning Fan has a good reputation in Beishuhai. He dares to kill even the Vine Emperor's disciples. He is a very daring person. If he entered Dongshuhai to kill people and steal goods, although Tang Xiong would not stop him from entering Dongshuhai, he would secretly inform the Bamboo Emperor and send someone to secretly monitor him.
If Ning Fan entered Dong Shuhai just to avoid the Vine Emperor's vendetta, which was a desperate act, Tang Xiong would take the opportunity to recommend this person to the Bamboo Emperor and try to win over him.
If Ning Fan was really forced by the Bamboo Emperor to have no way out and fled all the way to Dongshuhai, he would most likely be willing to seek refuge with the Bamboo Emperor.
Tang Xiong looked at Ning Fan carefully, his mind racing.
Ning Fan seemed to have seen through Tang Xiong's thoughts, shaking his head and laughing, "Lord Jumang, don't worry, Lu did not enter Dongshu Sea to cause trouble. If people don't offend me, I will not kill anyone. And the reason why I entered Dongshu Sea is , It’s not to escape, it’s just that I heard that Dong Shuhai produces the tree god fruit and I need this fruit.”
"Tree divine fruit?"
Tang Xiong did not expect that Ning Fan entered Dongshuhai just to purchase the Tree God Fruit.
Recalling the information from the secret guards in the city, Ning Fan did purchase a large amount of tree fruits after entering Yiyi City...
Therefore, I believe Ning Fan's motives for entering Dong Shuhai.
Hearing Ning Fan's confession that "I will not offend others unless they offend me", Tang Xiong nodded slightly. He could see that when Ning Fan said this, his eyes were calm and did not look like a lie.
The road to cultivation is filled with countless fights and killings, and no one can guarantee that entering Dongshuhai will not kill anyone. As long as you can avoid killing indiscriminately, it will be enough to enter the East Tree Sea.
Hearing that Ning Fan did not enter Dongshuhai to avoid the Teng Emperor, Tang Xiong couldn't help but respect Ning Fan's courage.
Ordinary monks would be frightened to death if they offended Emperor Teng, but Ning Fan still had a calm and calm expression.
This kind of calmness comes from the heart. Because we have confidence, we have nothing to fear.
Tang Xiong couldn't imagine why a junior Wenxu had so much confidence and was not afraid of being chased by Emperor Teng.
He secretly guessed that Ning Fan might not be as simple as he appeared, and that he might not be able to treat him as a cultivator...
Tang Xiong chuckled, patted the storage bag, waved his hand and took out hundreds of jade slips, divided them into five piles, placed them on the sapphire table, and explained to Ning Fan.
"Fellow Daoist Lu wants to enter the East Tree Sea to purchase divine tree fruits, so there is no problem. It's just that there are still two full years before the next gate opens. If fellow Taoist wants to cross the gate in advance, according to the rules, he must complete a task . These are realm gate tasks, ranging from easy to difficult, divided into five star levels. Fellow Taoist can choose a task to complete. Based on fellow Taoist Wenxu's cultivation level, if you only accept a one-star task, it will only take a few days. It can be done..."
"How many days..."
Ning Fan sent out his spiritual thoughts and scanned the five piles of jade slips on the sapphire case.
From left to right, the difficulty of the tasks is from low to high. The first pile of jade slips all record one-star tasks, such as entering Tanggu and killing a hundred tree demons that transformed into gods, or refining a rank-6 low-grade elixir. ...
For Ning Fan, the one-star mission is very easy to complete. If nothing unexpected happens, he is going to take on a mission to hunt down a tree demon. With his magical powers, he can easily hunt down a hundred tree demons who have transformed into gods without wasting too much. time.
He glanced at the two-star and three-star missions, which were also not too difficult.
Even if it is a four-star mission, he can still complete it with confidence. For example, one of the four-star missions requires strengthening the national defense formation for the entire Jumang Kingdom. The formation level is at the peak of Mortal Realm...
With Ning Fan's formation cultivation, it is not difficult to complete this task, but it will take a lot of time.
Ning Fan glanced at the jade slips with five-star missions. There were only three five-star missions in total.
The first five-star mission is to kill a certain casual cultivator from the First Level of Broken Void in the Northern Tree Sea. The mission rewards billions of immortal jade...
There were seven or eight Broken Void in the North Sea of Trees. The jade slip did not detail who the target was, but only explained that this person had sinned against the Bamboo Emperor in his early years.
Looking over this mission, Ning Fan shook his head. The risk of killing Suixu was too great, so he would not accept such a mission casually.
The second five-star mission is to refine a seventh-level elixir.
Ning Fan shook his head again. He did not have the Seventh Transformation Alchemy Technique to complete such a task.
The third five-star mission is the latest mission. It requires entering the Tang Valley of Jumang Kingdom and killing the two newly born tree kings among the tree demons in the Tang Valley.
This mission is simpler than the previous two missions. The two tree kings that need to be killed are just Guiyuan Taixu.
This task does not limit the number of people. There is a mark on the jade slip. Nine people have already accepted this task. They are waiting for the tenth person, Lianxu, to take over the task and then go to Tang Valley to hunt down the tree king.
If Ning Fan takes it, he will be the tenth person...
Ning Fan shook his head slightly. He was fully capable of fighting Guiyuan Taixu, but he was not sure of killing Guiyuan Taixu.
Fighting with two tree kings is somewhat risky, and Ning Fan is unwilling to take risks easily.
According to his personality, just take one one-star mission and complete it, there is no need to cause more trouble.
But when his eyes fell on the mission reward, his eyes suddenly turned sharp.
Mission reward: a puppet made from the corpse of a Mingluo tribesman, level, Peeping Puppet...and another reward of two billion fairy jade.
"May I ask the king, what are the corpse puppets of the Ming Luo tribe...?" Ning Fan's eyes began to turn cold.
