Wenxia Peak, Internal Affairs Hall.
The tasks in the Internal Affairs Hall are much fewer than those in the outer sect, but the task rewards are also greater, and the tasks require greater strength.
However, in the mission hall of the Internal Affairs Hall, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian found a mission that generally met the requirements.
…
Mission No. 21:
Senior Brother Hu Mufeng Lu needs to collect ten ghost grasses. This spiritual grass grows in the land of Yinfeng. You can go to Yinfeng Valley to look for it.
Reward: one thousand contribution points
The area with a radius of hundreds of miles of Yinfeng Valley is infiltrated by the ghostly wind blowing from the Ghost Hunting Abyss. The entire area is clouded and dark and foggy all year round. In this mysterious environment, many ghosts and ghosts are produced. The risk is relatively high.
The Yinwind Valley suddenly appeared. The senior officials of the sect had conducted an in-depth investigation into the reasons for the formation of that area, and knew that the netherworld energy gushes out from the depths of the Ghost Hunting Abyss, and combined with the unique environment, formed that area.
In order to prevent accidents, every twenty or thirty years or so, the sect will issue a mission to clear out possible Bone Realm demons, allowing the sect's General Bone Realm cultivators to go and clean them up. It has not been since the last clearing out. How much time has passed.
In other words, among the evil ghosts within the entire Yinfeng Valley, the ones with the highest strength are only in the late stages of the Mortal Bone Realm.
"Then this is the mission." After thinking about it, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian accepted the mission of finding Youcao.
Returning to the inner gate cave, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian made various preparations. Then the two of them left Wenxia Peak and headed towards Yinfeng Valley.
Yinfeng Valley is roughly 1300 miles away from Wenxia Peak, backed by the vast Shiwan Mountains, and is an uninhabited and deserted area.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian rode cranes and hurried on with all their strength, but it took them five or six days to arrive.
Without being promoted to General Bone Realm, the two of them could not fly with swords, and their speed would be affected to a certain extent. After all, Xianhe's cultivation level has not yet broken through to the General Bone Realm, so it is normal for his speed to be slower.
Yinfeng Valley is located in an endless mountainous and hilly area to the west of Black Turtle Sword Sect. The mountainous area is barren in vitality and does not receive much precipitation. You can often encounter stretches of Gobi and rugged vast mountainous areas that make it difficult for cultivation. They are all intimidated, let alone ordinary mortals. The west is basically a vast no man's land.
However, with the emergence of Yinfeng Valley, the special region gave birth to an ecology completely different from ordinary creatures, and at the same time, some rare natural materials and earthly treasures with special attributes were produced.
Because of these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, many outer sect disciples and inner sect disciples came one after another to hunt down the ghosts and demons growing here and collect the heavenly materials and earthly treasures growing inside.
With more people, towns naturally formed, so under the leadership of the Black Turtle Sword Sect, a Yinfeng City was built in front of a canyon road leading to Yinfeng Valley, and a certain number of disciples were dispatched to garrison here.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian, who were tired of traveling all the way, rushed to Yinfeng City and walked around the city that day.
There are no less than 50,000 mortals in the entire city, and there are tens of thousands of cultivators, but most of them are cultivators of the Bone Forging Realm, and there are not many cultivators of the Mortal Bone Realm.
After coming out of Yinfeng Valley, the cultivators who had made a lot of gains simply set up stalls in the market in the city to sell some of the natural materials and earthly treasures that they did not need.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian walked around and found that there were a lot of Youcao for sale in the market, but basically the Youcao were seedlings, which was a pity.
They found a nearby cultivator who made a living as a guide, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian, and learned some general information about Yinfeng City from him. At the same time, they purchased a rough map of Yinfeng Valley, and it came with Youcao. The general regional status of distribution.
"The outer area has been explored by cultivators, and all kinds of natural materials and treasures have been swept away. It is impossible to find the Youcao. It seems that if you want to complete the task, you can only venture into the core area." Zhou Lei thought.
The core area of Yinwind Valley is basically filled with all kinds of monsters in the mortal bone realm.
Even cultivators in the late Mortal Bone Realm may not be able to escape unscathed after entering the core area.
Because the resources produced by the Shadow Wind Valley are not very precious, there are basically no late-stage Mortal Bone Realm cultivators who venture deep into the core of the Shadow Wind Valley unless necessary. After all, that place is relatively dangerous.
Except for the Black Turtle Sword Sect who sweeps away the cultivators of the Bone Realm every twenty or thirty years, it is basically a deserted area.
"With our current strength, unless it is a monster at the late stage of Mortal Bone Realm or above, we will basically not be in much danger, so it should be okay!" Zhou Lei and Kang Tian said.
"Yes, let's go in." Kang Tian thought for a while and agreed.
"But we need to prepare and leave the next day." Kang Tian continued.
"Okay." Zhou Lei nodded.
……,…….
The next day, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian were ready to set off.
Yinfeng City is built directly on a canyon road leading to Yinfeng Valley. Walking forward from the east gate is the scope of Yinfeng Valley. The disciples stationed in the outer sect of Xuangui Sword Sect are stationed at the west gate to collect five pieces of low-grade crystal stones. Let Zhou Lei and Kang Tian enter.
At the front of Yinfeng Valley, dim clouds and mist enveloped the entire sky, and there was a gust of wind. In a deserted Gobi, the figures of Zhou Lei and Kang Tian gradually disappeared into the distance.
Entering the Shadow Wind Valley is almost like stepping into another world. The whole world is filled with gloomy winds, and there is no end in sight of dry weeds. In the woods in the distance, there are strange trees with gray dry bark. From a distance, they look like a tree. The devil only showed his teeth and claws, and was ferocious and strange.
Suddenly, the soil exploded, and a dark, fist-sized monster suddenly kicked away the soil, and stabbed at Kang Tian as fast as black lightning!
"What is it?" Originally, he just wanted to take a look at the environment of Yinfeng Valley, but something like this suddenly appeared, and Kang Tian's expression changed slightly.
However, Kang Tian's eyes were calm. When the black lightning reached in front of him, the long sword with a sheath in his hand arrived first, suddenly bursting through the air, and instantly knocked down the fist-sized thing and nailed it to the ground.
It turned out to be a scorpion. Seeing the monster pinned to the ground by the scabbard struggling continuously, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian frowned slightly, because the soil and gravel around it were obviously corroded by venom.
After a while, until Xie Zi stopped struggling, Kang Tian took the mortal sword back into his hand.
"In dangerous places, you must be more careful." Zhou Lei said.
"Yes, that's true." After Kang Tian finished speaking, he released the ghost bride.
Zhou Lei was still worried and released the Cangshi soul.
The surrounding trees are like evil spirits with teeth and claws, and even the vines that are spreading and clinging to the cliffs are like demonic creatures that are devouring living things.
Along the way, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian were careful, but they still suffered a lot of attacks. Some were hidden on the branches, like an inconspicuous snake with a dead branch, and some were hidden under the sand, suddenly bursting out. There are mutated poisonous scorpions and ferocious man-eating plants.
However, these were discovered in advance by the Ghost Bride and the Cangshi Soul, and were dealt with. In such an environment, the Ghost Bride and the Blue Lion Soul are very handy, and their strength has also increased a bit.
When Zhou Lei and Kang Tian went deeper, they saw some translucent ghosts floating in the air in the dark wind, and they swarmed over when they saw living creatures.
The body of the white bone monster formed by the white bones has become as hard as steel under the cold wind blowing year after year. The breath of any living creature may attract them.
