Hearing Manager Hu say that the danger of the mission comes from people, Zhao Lin was shocked and asked: "Who is it?"
Manager Hu did not answer, but pulled Zhao Lin to a corner of the hall, and then whispered: "As mentioned in the mission introduction, Chiwei Island is a disputed island between our Chenghua Sect and Di An Sect, and it is currently under the joint control of both parties."
"Actually, the Dark Sect has more control. Whether on the island or in the sea area, our sect is at a relative disadvantage."
"In order to avoid conflicts and wars, the two sects reached an agreement very early on to put aside the dispute for the time being and jointly develop the cultivation resources of Chiwei Island."
"And it was agreed that either party can only send twenty Qi Refining Realm monks into it, and no one can send one more person, let alone monks at the Foundation Establishment Realm and above."
"So when collecting spirit beads on Chiwei Island, there are not only monks from our sect, but also people from the Dian Sect. Do you understand?"
Zhao Lin naturally understood and nodded slightly, "Brother Hu, what do you mean, the danger comes from the ambitious people like the Di An Sect?"
Manager Hu curled his lips and sneered, "Yes, they are just these bastards."
"Once the two monks meet at the bottom of the sea, they will basically end up fighting to the death. This is the real danger of this mission."
Zhao Lin frowned and his face became gloomy.
The Di An Sect is very close to the Cheng Hua Sect, separated only by a not-so-vast sea area. The two sides have quite a historical connection and are said to be separated by a narrow strip of water.
Zhao Lin had read many historical classics of the Chenghua Sect in the Library Pavilion and had a general understanding of the surrounding sects.
The Di An Sect is located on a large island to the east of the Cheng Hua Sect and has a history of approximately fifteen thousand years.
At first, this sect only had some Qi Refining Realm monks who had just glimpsed the path of cultivation. Very few of them could successfully build the foundation. It was a relatively late sect in the world of cultivation.
More than 10,000 years ago, the Chenghua Sect was at its peak. It was at the top of its game, leading all sects in terms of spells and exercises. No sect in the entire Xuanyuan Continent could match it.
The Di'an Sect admired the Taoism of the Chenghua Sect and sent envoys across the sea several times to study the Taoism. They considered themselves a subordinate sect and called the Chenghua Sect the "Shangzong".
At that time, the Chenghua Sect had pacified the four directions and was powerful in the sea. At the same time, it was also very enlightened and generously taught many of the Di An Sect's methods, as well as the methods of refining elixirs and refining weapons.
It was from then on that the Di An Sect gradually developed.
Until now, more than 90% of the Dian Sect's spells are exactly the same as those of the Chenghua Sect, and most of the cultivation techniques were derived from the Chenghua Sect.
But no one expected that Cheng Hua Zong's good intentions would end up being a waste of time.
The Di An Sect is located on an island, where earthquakes and tsunamis occur frequently, and spiritual energy is very scarce. It has been looking for opportunities to expand outwards, and the Chenghua Sect, which has a vast territory and abundant resources, is the target of its spying.
Therefore, when the Chenghua Sect was in crisis more than a thousand years ago, the Di An Sect not only failed to lend a helping hand, but also added insult to injury and took advantage of the situation.
In that sect war, the Di An Sect sent a large number of monks and ships to invade the Chenghua Sect, capture the city, massacre the immortals, and almost destroy the Chenghua Sect!
Showing the true qualities of a wolf with a heart and a dog with lungs.
All in all, this is a sect that is afraid of power but not moral, and knows little etiquette but no great righteousness.
Such behavior of the Di An Sect brought back some bad memories of Zhao Lin's previous life, so he called him a wolfish ambition.
At present, due to territorial issues and historical disputes, the two sects only maintain superficial reconciliation and exchanges, and are secretly wary of each other.
Taking a breath, Zhao Lin said: "Senior Brother Hu, the Di An Sect only has more than 10,000 monks, and our sect has hundreds of thousands of monks. Why can't they even take over a disputed island?"
"It's not that simple."
Manager Hu shook his head slightly, "First of all, our sect's strategic position is very unfavorable."
"Because the territory is vast, the pressure we face is also great. There is the Nanzhu Sect in the southwest who has repeatedly provoked border provocations, the Jiaoyue Sect in the southeast who has always regarded our sect as an enemy, and the Luosha Sect in the north who is eyeing our sect..."
"These places need to be guarded by a large number of monks. It is impossible to fight against the Dark Sect with the strength of the whole sect."
"Moreover, there are sects from outside the territory with malicious intentions who have intervened, making our hands tied."
Manager Hu clenched his fists and said angrily: "One more thing, our sect is in the stage of recuperating and recovering its strength, and it is not suitable for a big war."
"Huh huh, the Underworld Sect is just a clown after all. We will recover Chiwei Island sooner or later!"
Zhao Lin thought for a while and continued to ask: "Brother Hu just said that each side would send twenty Qi Refining Realm monks into the sea. It sounds fair. Are we not their opponents?"
Manager Hu sighed softly and said: "The Diyin Sect is located on an island and has been dealing with the sea all year round. Therefore, there are many water-moving spiritual root monks and they have made great achievements in magic."
"Comparing the cultivation of water magic, especially among low-level monks, they are indeed slightly better."
After a pause, he continued to explain: "This task requires proficiency in waterbending and a small level of attack spells."
"But it's just the minimum standard. In fact, it's best to practice waterbending to a minor level, and attack spells to a proficiency level."
"Otherwise, it would be easy to collect spirit beads, but it would be difficult to survive when encountering a cultivator from the Dark Sect."
At this point, Manager Hu lowered his voice and said, "If you kill an Earth Dark Sect monk, there will be two hundred good deeds rewarded."
Zhao Lin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "The Dark Sect monks who were killed also had good deeds? Why wasn't it mentioned in the mission details?"
Manager Hu chuckled, waved his hand gently and said, "How could such a thing be written in the mission? After all, the two sects are not at war, so we still have to pay attention to the influence of the sects."
"Junior brother Zhao, you are a martial arts cultivator and are good at killing. When you reach the later stage of Qi refining, you may be able to enter Chiwei Island and try it. You will also contribute to our sect's killing of enemies."
"But now, I think the first two golden tasks are safer."
Zhao Lin didn't answer and started making calculations secretly.
I only have more than 200 good deeds left on hand. If I want to continue practicing the Nine Turns Condensation Technique, I can only support it for two months at most.
Not to mention cultivating in the spiritual cave and bringing his family back to the county, which requires a lot of good deeds.
Although this task is dangerous, he has the ability of echolocation and can detect extremely long distances in the water, and he has also mastered the art of waterbending.
There is another advantage: the whole process of collecting spirit beads is in the public realm. It is impossible for foundation-building monks to participate. There is no need to worry about the Li family taking the opportunity to sneak attack on you.
As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
Zhao Lin made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Brother Hu, I will take this task!"
Manager Hu did not expect that after his earnest persuasion, Zhao Lin still chose to face the difficulties, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"Junior Brother Zhao, are you sure you want to choose the Guizi No. 6 mission?"
Zhao Lin nodded seriously, "Sure, just choose it!"
