The moon is as cold as water, hanging in the sky like a hook.
The mountain forest is not lonely. Even at night, there are birds chirping, the wind shakes the leaves, and the flowing water insects chirp.
Zhao Shun hid in the forest with his sword in hand, silently, and focused his attention on the black bear spirit next to the stream, holding out a big palm to drink water.
This spirit was born from the aura of a black bear in the mountains. It is full of wildness and often comes down the mountain to cause harm to mortals. The Zhaoyan Immortal Sect issued a mission with 700 ordinary merits, asking its disciples to eliminate monsters for nearby people.
Judging from the fact that the hair on its body has not faded, its fangs all over its mouth are stained with blood, and its big palms still look like wild beasts, it can be seen that this black bear spirit has not long since transformed, and it is probably only the strength of the early stage of foundation building. Zhao Chun also understands why it is only worth seven hundred. Only when the demon pill is in the body can spirits and monsters transform into humans. Similar to the spiritual base in the body of a spiritual monk, it has the function of accumulating spiritual energy and is the beginning of spiritual practice.
If you continue to practice until the demon elixir turns into a real baby, the demons and spirits can be like human monks and become kings and lords.
The black bear spirit monster in front of him is far from that level. With Zhao Chun's strength, he can kill it with one sword.
Just when dark clouds covered the moon, the black bear spirit looked up at the sky, exposing the vital parts of his neck, and saw the sword energy like a rainbow, and together with the splashing blood, drew an arc in the night!
The head soared into the sky and swirled in the air. The black bear spirit still didn't know what happened. The last moment he lost consciousness, he saw his headless body lying beside the stream.
Zhao Shun controlled his strength and the opportunity to draw the sword, causing the bear corpse to fall backwards, and the blood of the stinking demon flowed on the stone.
This stream is used for drinking water by the people below the mountain, so don't let it be contaminated by demon blood.
The black bear spirit was dead, and the mission mark on Zhao Chun's wrist had also dissipated on its own. She did not go down the mountain immediately and return to her clan. Instead, she took out the dagger from her armband and prepared to extract the demon pill. This thing could be sold in the town market. Good price, don’t give it up.
Moreover, the spirits of the bear tribe and the snake tribe can also take the gallbladder treasure and use it as an elixir for animals.
In the past six months or so, Zhao Shun has taken on many tasks of exterminating demons for the 30,000 ordinary achievements in the "Taiyi Geng Golden Sword Sutra". According to her opinion, exterminating demons is much better than killing evil monks. Take it, there is also a demon pill available, it’s a win-win situation. However, in addition to the risk of death in combat, these two tasks also have a rather funny way of failure.
When she was frustrated for the first time, she had already arrived at the surrounding towns according to the mission instructions. She stood up with her sword and was about to go to the spirit cave. The mark on her wrist suddenly turned black and then completely disappeared. This was a sign that the mission had failed.
After some inquiring, I found out that a kind-hearted senior passed by this place and saw some demons and spirits causing harm to the people, so he casually got rid of them and did a good deed.
Protecting the people of the human race is also the responsibility of the righteous monks. Zhao Chun cannot accuse others of interfering because of her own selfishness. After all, if she encounters such a situation, she will choose to kill demons and relieve the plight of the people.
Only when achievements can be earned again and disasters can be eliminated can it be considered complete.
Zhao Chun Dao's heart was clear, so she returned to the sect to find other tasks, and went to Jiao Shicong's three thousand. In half a year, she kept accumulating 29,500 ordinary merit points, leaving "Taiyi Gengjin" The first volume of the Book of Swords is only five hundred short.
The cook cut open the bear carcass like an ox, and she felt happy. When she returned to the clan and added these seven hundred points, she had the first volume of the Sword Sutra. She had been in Zhaoyan for nearly a year. Although she did not become a master, she still I have also gained a lot of benefits from the sect. The secret realm of Xiaozhu Realm, the top skills in the three thousand worlds, and the peerless sword scripture that I am about to acquire. This is the great sect’s heritage and the courage where the human race is the strongest. .
The demon elixir must be stored in a wooden box made of blood-sealing wood to prevent the demonic energy from dissipating. The bear bile containing aura is regarded as an elixir, and it must be packed in a jade box made of Qiongyu to prevent the medicinal properties from being reduced. .
Zhao Shun's experience of slaying demons in various places in Zhongzhou, coupled with the help of Tiandi Yiwentu, made the journey of completing the task a process of continuous learning and increasing knowledge.
There is an ancient saying in the past life: "Live until you are old, learn until you are old." A monk's lifespan is very long, and the world he lives in is also vast, with new things constantly emerging, and her way of learning will never come to an end. .
Just like cutting open the demon pill, she originally wanted to use the sword energy to cut open the demon corpse, but the aura of the demons and spirits was gone, and the body was no longer tough as before. As soon as the sword energy came into contact, the demon corpse that was contaminated with spiritual energy again quickly decayed. It exploded with a bang, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the rotten smell came out, which was so disgusting.
Although this method can also obtain the demon elixir, the quality and value of the demon elixir stained with the aura of rotting corpses will be greatly reduced. Zhao Shun certainly does not want to see such a situation happen.
The sharp weapon in her hand is the killing sword, which is three feet and seven inches long. Not to mention whether it is suitable for cutting demons and extracting elixirs, because the sword spirit of the ancestor Lingzhen is sleeping in it, she is unwilling to do such a crude thing with this sword. .
The Chifeng dagger had cracks before, so Zhao Shun bought a short dagger in the town market to use it to extract elixirs.
The demon elixir was black and the bear bile was green. She put them into the prepared boxes and put them into her armbands. Then she took out a small jade bottle and inserted the dagger into the heart of the black bear spirit. When she pulled it out, she was confused. Four or five drops of solid blood with a slight precious light flowed out from the fishy demon blood, as bright as rubies.
Zhao Shun used a jade bottle to hold these drops of solid blood. Almost as soon as they were separated from the smelly demon blood, they turned into liquid and melted together.
Gently shaking the jade bottle, the blood that had just submerged at the bottom of the bottle was even a bit heavy to pick up. Zhao Xun now fully utilized the corpse of the black bear spirit. He immediately stood up and went down the mountain with his sword.
The last thing taken out was the heart essence blood of the monsters and monsters. It was also the precious blood of monsters in the mouths of mortals that could be used to purify the body. This thing was very popular among the people at the foot of the mountain. One drop could be diluted into a basin of purify the body. The bathing water is a foundation-building spirit monster that has given birth to a demon elixir. It is more effective than the ordinary monsters hunted by mortals. Selling it to the common people who want to become mortals is a good use of it.
It was only midnight at this time, and the people in the town had not put out their candles. When Zhao Shun returned from slaying the demon, and saw a rainbow light appearing on the horizon, the townspeople grinned, raised their arms and shouted: "The great hero is here! The great hero is here!" coming!"
Zhao Shun landed on the ground and threw down the head of the black bear spirit, and their cheering enthusiasm became even higher.
To the monks, it was just a casual job, but to the mortals, it was a life-threatening disaster that was eliminated. They were very happy and supported Zhao Xun in the center of the crowd.
"This is the precious blood of the black bear spirit. The mayor can accept it." Zhao Shun took out the jade bottle and handed it to the rickety old man at the head of the crowd. A piece of spiritual jade was handed over to Zhao Chun.
If these drops of monster blood were sold into the market, they would definitely be worth more than two spiritual jades. However, this small town has a sparse population and no monks. After saving for a long time, only two spiritual jades were obtained. Zhao Chun thought for a while. , he sold the precious blood directly to the townspeople. Instead of handing it over to the market, it would be better to leave fire for this place. In the future, if he becomes a mortal master, he will no longer be harmed by low-level spirits.
If you help, the plan will be far-reaching.
