Chapter 5: Evil Blood Swordsman
After returning to his residence, Ling Chen immediately began to practice.
Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, Ling Chen swallowed the Qi Gathering Powder in one gulp.
Suddenly, a stream of clear water seemed to flow from the mouth into the lungs and disappeared.
The next moment, Ling Chen clearly felt that the true energy in his body began to condense at an astonishing speed, as if being pulled by something, flowing through the eight extraordinary meridians and quickly rushing towards his dantian.
The medicinal power of Juqi Powder quickly took effect.
The true energy quickly concentrates from the meridians to the Dantian. At the same time, the medicinal power in the meridians throughout the body also evaporates quickly and is completely converted into true energy.
Within the Dantian, the true Qi surged like the tide. Outside the original three rings of true Qi, the fourth ring of true Qi slowly condensed.
The fourth level of warrior!
call……
Ling Chen opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air, feeling the overwhelming Qi in his body. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Qi Gathering Powder is indeed a panacea for improving cultivation. In just one night, I have reached the fourth level."
Ling Chen's confidence The reason why his cultivation level could improve so quickly was, firstly, because of his talent, and secondly, because of his foundation. He was originally a ninth-level warrior, and now his cultivation was not starting from scratch, so of course it was fast.
But no matter how fast it gets, it still requires practicing again. If you want to shorten the time, you can only rely on rare treasures and elixirs.
"If I have enough Qi Gathering Powder, my cultivation will be able to improve rapidly ."
As a rare tonic for martial artists, Qi Gathering Powder cannot be used indefinitely For ordinary martial artists, the effect will become less obvious after using it once or twice. However, Ling Chen does not feel this way. If he can get more Qi Gathering Powder, his cultivation will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
"Qi Gathering Powder is a rare item. With my current position in the Divine Will Sect, it is impossible for me to obtain it."
Ling Chen looked thoughtful. The Qi Gathering Powder was expensive. In the Shenyi Sect, only disciples of Xiao Muyu's status could have it. Forget about him.
He has been stripped of his status as a true disciple and now cannot get any benefits from the sect.
"If you want to obtain more resources from the Divine Will Gate, you can only exchange them with contribution points."
Ling Chen thought about it, and all the methods were not feasible. The only way left was the sect contribution points. If he wanted to obtain the sect contribution, he had to complete the tasks assigned by the sect.
He doesn't have much time left, so he should accept the task as soon as possible.
…
The Deacon Hall is located in the southeast of Shenyi Gate. It is always bustling here on weekdays. Many disciples of Shenyi Gate come here every day to hand over tasks and handle various chores.
As soon as the sun rose the next day, Ling Chen arrived at the Deacon's Hall.
Stepping into the hall, Ling Chen looked up. The hall that had gathered hundreds of people was still empty. The ground was paved with whole pieces of bluestone. On both sides, near the walls, there were nine sky-high stone pillars. The color was green with a hint of red, and each one was carved with a flying dragon riding the clouds.
And inside the stone pillar, there is a jade disk every thirty steps, and the jade disk is covered with paper.
Each piece of paper contains a detailed description of each task.
Ling Chen scanned the area and found the most eye-catching task in the blink of an eye. On the largest piece of jade, there was a striking character written in large letters.
"The reward for killing the Demon Sect Saintess Liu Xiling is 500,000 taels of silver and 100,000 contribution points."
Ling Chen saw the task clearly.
However, even if this kind of task is released, who would dare to take it?
Ling Chen walked towards the inner hall, where a series of notices were posted on the jade disk. Looking around, it was basically divided into three distinct areas, and the bronze-level tasks were in the outermost area, followed by the silver-level tasks and the gold-level tasks as they went inward.
In addition to these three levels, the sect will also issue some special tasks, which are higher than gold-level tasks, such as the task that offers a bounty for Liu Xiling just now, which belongs to this category.
Most disciples will choose bronze-level tasks based on their own strength. Tasks at each level are divided into one to five stars. The more stars there are, the greater the difficulty.
Among the bronze-level missions, the one- and two-star ones are mostly gathering and guarding tasks. When it comes to three stars and above, the difficulty is relatively high, and the mission targets are often some notorious people or forces in the world.
After a brief screening, Ling Chen selected two tasks, and finally had to choose one from these two tasks.
The first mission: eliminate the evil Black Mountain horse thieves gang.
Difficulty: Four-star Bronze.
Mission details: The Black Mountain horse thieves gang robbed houses, wreaked havoc on the local area, robbed merchants, and committed all kinds of evil.
Strength analysis: The leader of the bandits is a sixth-level warrior, with forty to fifty men under his command, including seven or eight warriors.
Mission reward: 600 points of sect contribution.
Recommendation: Three or more disciples should form a team.
The second task: kill the evil blood swordsman.
Difficulty: Three-star Bronze.
Mission details: The Evil Blood Swordsman is a traitor to the Fire Nation. He is lawless, rapes women, and kills innocent people. He is currently active near the Demon Forest.
Strength Analysis: The strength of the Evil Blood Swordsman should be around that of a fifth-level warrior.
Mission reward: 500 points of sect contribution.
Suggestion: This person is insidious and cunning, and full of tricks. It is recommended that disciples with strength above the fifth level and rich combat experience accept this task.
"It is still too difficult to destroy a gang of horse thieves, and it takes too long. Although the second task is also difficult, it can be accomplished in one fell swoop."
Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, then prepared to take down the task list.
"Hey, Young Master Ling, you're here again? You really are everywhere."
Just as Ling Chen was about to announce the result, a strange voice suddenly came from him.
Ling Chen tilted his head and frowned slightly. The owner of the voice was none other than Meng Yuan and his group who had caused trouble for him the day before.
"You are the one who is everywhere."
Ling Chen said calmly.
Hearing this, Meng Yuan's eyes turned cold, but then he smiled again. He stared at the list in front of Ling Chen and sneered, "Kill the Evil Blood Swordsman? Young Sect Master is so brave!"
"No way, the Evil Blood Blade Master, he is a fifth-level warrior! A useless person wants to kill the Evil Blood Blade Master, how ridiculous, how ridiculous!"
"That's right, this is not the way to seek death. It's like a moth flying into a flame, a fool's move!"
The two Shenyi Sect disciples behind Meng Yuan sneered.
"Don't worry about that."
Ling Chen simply ignored them and took down the task list by himself, then turned around and walked into the hall.
"How dare this idiot be so rude!"
One disciple's eyes darkened, and he was about to attack Ling Chen, but was stopped by another disciple.
"Hey, why bother with this loser? He won't live long anyway. If you dare to provoke the Evil Blood Swordsman, you will die soon."
Meng Yuan stared at Ling Chen's receding back, then waved his hand, "Get ready, keep an eye on him. This time, I'm going to make sure he never comes back."
“But Senior Brother Meng, didn’t Senior Brother Yun Tianhe tell us not to touch him within these three months?” a disciple at the side said hesitantly.
"Hmph, as long as we don't touch him in the sect, how will Senior Brother Yun Tianhe know? Go and prepare quickly." A hint of viciousness appeared in Meng Yuan's eyes. In his opinion, if Ling Chen dared to accept this mission this time, he would basically die.
However, to be on the safe side, it would be better for him to go and confirm it in person. If the Evil Blood Swordsman cannot kill Ling Chen, he will be the one to give him the finishing blow.
