Chapter 124: Wanted Criminal Mission (Part 2)
Lin He took a deep breath when he saw the "Wanted Mission". Although he had heard Qinglian Shengnu say before that this type of mission had extremely generous rewards, far surpassing ordinary missions. But when he actually saw it, he was still shocked.
This task itself is not very difficult. Because "Wu Du Yin Shu Sheng" is obviously a loose cultivator, and only has the cultivation of refining Qi. The difficulty of this task lies not in killing him, but in tracking down Wu Du Yin Shu Sheng's trail, seeing through his disguise, and guarding against his poisonous skills!
The reward for this capture mission was a whopping 1500 points of merit value. To put that into perspective, Lin Xi had only received 2240 points for killing over 60 level-one fierce beasts.
That's the difference between a beast and a human!
"With a reward this generous, it's worth doing no matter how dangerous!"
Lin Xi secretly thought to herself.
For a Xian Dao disciple who doesn't have a deep background but yearns to stand out, the danger of this arrest task is not even within the scope of consideration.
Lin Xi didn't mind going to kill the "Five Poisons Bookworm", but this task took too long. Just tracking down the Five Poisons Bookworm's trail and seeing through his disguise required a considerable amount of time.
And he only had three months, nearly a hundred days, to improve his strength, and didn't have time to waste on this ordinary "Wanted" mission.
As I looked down the list of tasks, the rewards for merit points were rising linearly. Correspondingly, the strength of the targets was also getting higher and higher, and without exception, they were almost all evil demons and heretics from the demonic and evil paths, as well as some traitorous disciples from other sects.
"Bounty Hunter" missions are extremely dangerous, but the rewards are high if successful. However, failure means certain death. And these bounty hunters have blood on their hands.
When Lin Xi looked at the time, he saw that almost all of the "Wanted Task" notes had warnings left by the elders of their own sect. Reminding the Xian Dao disciples who took on the task to be extremely careful and consider carefully.
"These targets of the tasks, without exception, are all extremely intelligent individuals. It seems that to capture these dangerous targets, strength is one aspect. On the other hand, consideration is still given to cleverness and reaction."
Lin Xi looked at it while thinking.
While browsing, Lin Xi also noticed that some tasks he had just browsed through disappeared during his browsing time. Apparently, as the second-ranked sect in the Xian Dao world, Shen Xiao Sect has many powerful experts within the sect, and apart from Lin Xi, there are also many geniuses who successfully killed these wanted criminals.
Lin Xi continued to browse down, ignoring the tasks of Lian Qi's first and second stages. He went straight to check the wanted task of Lian Qi's third stage. Soon, Lin Xi noticed one of the tasks:
"Defeat Lava Imp Lord, reward 12,000 merit points!"
"Target Description: Lava Little Demon King, a strong practitioner in the initial stage of Triple Refining Qi. A young demonic Qi cultivator, skilled in fire-based techniques. Three years ago, he suddenly appeared in the Furnace Little Hell, taking pleasure in hunting and killing Immortal Path disciples. To date, more than 80 Immortal Path disciples have died at his hands, including strong practitioners of Triple Refining Qi."
"Mission Description: The Lava Little Demon Lord is sneaking around, constantly ambushing and hunting down the Taoist disciples, refining their primordial energy. This has posed a great threat to the Taoist disciples who have entered the Lava Hell, causing panic among the people. In light of this, a reward of 12,000 merit points is being offered!"
"Suggestion: Lava Little Demon King has killed a large number of Xian Tao disciples, obtained a large number of magic swords and magic instruments, and is extremely cunning, sinister, and deadly. Disciples with three layers of refining energy should exercise caution, those with four layers can consider it, and those in the law enforcement realm can ignore the danger level of this task."
"Note: Lava Little Demon King borrowed the lava and volcanic training from 'Lava Hell'. He once had a disciple who witnessed him training in the volcanic magma. — His frequent ambush points are Furnace Ear, Furnace Ring, and Furnace Crown."
……
12,000 points of merit value reward. This reward alone is enough to make one's heart tremble. This is the reward for the "Wanted Task" of the third level of Qi Refining, far surpassing the rewards of the first level tasks.
"Lava Little Demon King" constantly ambushes and hunts down the disciples of the Immortal Path, and takes pleasure in doing so, which is also one of the reasons why he received such a high reward.
Lin Xi almost immediately chose this task, the high reward was one aspect. The more important reason was that this task was in "Furnace Little Hell", which just happened to be where Qinglian Holy Girl was going, and it was the same place.
Lin Xi can follow Qinglian Holy Girl, on the one hand to kill demons and earn merit points. On the other hand, she can also take advantage of this opportunity to complete the high-reward wanted mission.
Lin Xi took another look and noticed two more tasks related to the Furnace Little Hell. However, they were not wanted criminal tasks, but rather higher-level Refining Qi Fourfold tasks.
"Hunt down Hell Black Dragon, reward 15,000 merit points."
"Mission Description: Hellfire Black Dragon, a powerful creature in the 'Crucible of Inferno' that likes to shuttle through the underground magma, is a fire-type hell creature. The dragon's bones and skin are all top-notch alchemy materials. This is one of the reasons why such high rewards have been offered."
“……”
————
"Slay the Furnace Devil, reward 28,000 merit points."
"Mission Description: Furnace Demon King, cultivation above the Nascent Soul realm..."
……
These two tasks are both Refining Qi Fourfold tasks. The targets of the hunt are all creatures from "Miniature Furnace Hell".
"What a pity! The difficulty is too great. It's completely unsuitable for me!"
Lin Xi let out a sigh and had no choice but to give up on these two tasks. The rewards for the two tasks were extremely generous, and they were also located in "Furnace Little Hell", unfortunately, it was unrealistic.
Lin Xi wanted to borrow the hands of Qinglian Holy Girl to complete these sect tasks. However, the deputy leader of Shen Xiao Sect's words echoed clearly in his ears.
A Xian Dao disciple must prove their worth to the sect before they can gain recognition and be treated favorably.
Giving a three-month deadline is to hope that Lin Xi can prove his worth with his own ability within this period. If Lin Xi completes the sect's task through Qinglian Holy Girl, then Lin Xi can be sure that even if he reaches the Gas Immortal Realm after three months, he will be unhesitatingly removed from the list of disciples worthy of attention by the Shenyue Sect.
After the conversation on the peak of Caizhi, Lin Xi had already grasped the thoughts of the deputy leader of Shen Xiao Sect. Becoming an inner disciple in three months was just a superficial phenomenon; what he truly hoped to see was himself proving his worth during this process.
If everything depends on Qinglian Holy Girl, then it is Qinglian Holy Girl who is doing this test, not Lin Xi. This completely destroys the original intention of the task!
These things, Qinglian Holy Girl didn't tell Lin Xi. Perhaps even she herself wasn't aware of it. But Lin Xi knew clearly!
……
Lin Xi pointed with one finger, without hesitation, and clicked to accept the "Wanted" task of killing the Lava Little Demon King. Taking this opportunity, Lin Xi also took a look at the tasks for the True Disciple level.
"Defeat a Hell Demon General and receive 800,000 merit points as reward!"
"Task Description:……"
"Defeat one Hell Demon King, reward 3 million merit points!"
"Task Description:……"
"Defeat one Asura Demon Emperor, reward 12 million points of merit value!"
"Defeat a Hell Demon God and receive 80 million points of merit value as reward!"
"Task Description:……"
……
"Hiss!"
Lin Xi took a deep breath, and when he saw the "sect tasks" that only true disciples could receive, he felt an intense shock.
The task reward for a true disciple is astronomical. For a refining Qi realm disciple, it's simply an unattainable number. It can be imagined that these true disciples, as long as they don't die, the accumulated merit value will absolutely be a huge and unimaginable number.
"What a surprisingly high reward!!"
Lin Xi murmured to herself.
Qinglian Holy Girl heard was not a legend, but a fact. In fact, she probably still greatly underestimated the reward for the true transmission of the disciple level! That task of killing the Hell Demon God, the reward is frighteningly high.
However, just hearing the two words "Demon God" makes it clear that this task is probably impossible for an ordinary True Disciple. It would have to be a very powerful True Disciple.
"The reward for the true disciple's mission is so generous that I'm afraid the elixirs and sect's ultimate skills they need to exchange, as well as the required merit points, have also reached astronomical levels!"
Lin Xi secretly thought to herself.
The Xian Dao sect will never open up the infinitely rewarding merit value. That would change the original intention of setting up the merit value system. The reward is so high that it can only mean one thing: to consume such a large amount of merit value, otherwise, the true disciples would not be doing this perilous hell task tirelessly!
Lin Xi spent some more time roughly browsing through all the sect tasks before leaving the Task Hall.
……
Lin Xi quickly made a decision and entered "Melting Furnace Little Hell", and also notified Qinglian Holy Maiden.
Two days later, Lin Xi received a notice and officially moved into the Outer Gate, becoming an official disciple of the Shen Xiao Sect.
For several days in a row, Lin Xi stayed in his room, cultivating his true energy, tempering his muscles and meridians, preparing to break through the second heavy gate of the Lingyuan realm.
It was on the sixth day that Qinglian Holy Girl informed Lin Xi that it was time to enter "Furnace Little Hell".
On the peaks of time and space, Lin Xi, Shangguan Yuxue, Qinglian Saintess, and three fourth-level Qi Xian period, two fifth-level Fa Li period inner door female disciples appeared together on the mountain peak.
Qinglian Holy Girl is a strong person at the peak of the 7th layer of the Dao Root period, with her strength, doing tasks doesn't need others to help. Bringing three Qi Xian period and two Fa Li period subordinates is still for protecting Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue.
Such a lineup can be called a big formation, and it can also be seen that the Holy Maiden of Qinglian has invested heavily in this operation.
