Chapter 29: Bounty Mission!

  "What's going on?" Qin Yi asked, noticing the excitement on the faces of the people in front of him, and invited them to sit down.

  "It's like that." Zhao Jing Sheng explained: "The academy just released a new bounty mission. In the past, either the difficulty of the bounty mission was too high and we outer disciples couldn't complete it, or the contribution points for completing the task were too few, so even if we spent time doing it, there wasn't a suitable reward. This time, you could say that the task is simple and the contribution points gained after completion are rich!"

  Qin Yi nodded.

  The books sent by Tian Sheng College, he has been flipping through them for several days and has memorized the explanations of the merit points.

  Tian Sheng College has an independent system of merit points rewards.

  As long as you can complete the bounty tasks released by the college, or make a huge contribution to the development of the college, you can get the reward points of the college according to the degree of completion.

  Using these merit points, you can go to the academy's library to exchange for various divine techniques or redeem magical treasures and elixirs.

  The higher the divine technique and treasure elixir, the more labor points are consumed.

  However, it's not easy to get contribution points. The bounty tasks released by the Tian Sheng College are often extremely difficult to complete. Ordinary disciples can only look up to them, and for them, making a huge contribution to the college is just a dream.

  "What task is being released this time?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

  "On the other side of the East Sea, in the Misty Bay, the Fishman Pirates attacked the ocean-going vessel of the Second Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty a while ago, resulting in the deaths of over 2,000 people, including the prince and his attendants, as well as naval personnel. Later, the Great Yan Dynasty sent its navy to surround and annihilate them, but ended up losing more than 20 warships, which can be said to be a heavy loss. I heard that several high-ranking experts at the level of the Funeral Border were also killed in action. This time, they have specially come to our Tian Sheng College for help, hoping that we will send students to eliminate the Fishman Pirates." Wu Peng explained.

  "These fish-like pirates are all sea monsters that have been transformed into human form, with low intelligence but incredible strength. It's said that their bodies are covered in seaweed and moss, and they wield massive anchors from sunken ships as weapons. Their abilities have at least reached the level of 'practiced tendons'. We're just outer disciples, our abilities and resources are limited, if we go alone it's easy to get into danger. But this time the academy's reward is really tempting."

  Zhao Jing Sheng paused for a moment before continuing: "Kill one of the fish people and bring back the demonic core at the top of its spine, and you'll get a merit point!"

  At this point, the four people in the house were excited again.

  Killing a fish man can earn you a merit point, which was unthinkable in the past!

  The four of them have been at Tian Sheng College for at least five or six years, and the total merit points they've earned add up to less than five points.

  The most they can get is some relatively low-quality elixirs, which are of such poor quality that even a large quantity has little effect on their strength.

  And this time killing the fisherman, if everything goes smoothly, everyone can even get dozens of extra merit points!

  Several tens of merit points are enough to exchange for a ground-level magic treasure!

  "Junior brother, our idea this time is like this. Going alone is too dangerous, so we'll form a team and head out together, join forces to kill the Fisherman, and then divide the Demon Cores equally. What do you think?" Wu Peng looked at Qin Yi, eager to give it a try.

  Qin Yilue thought for a moment and then agreed.

  Recently, I've been improving my skills and I need to find a place to test them out and gain some practical experience at the same time.

  With Qin Yi joining, Wu Peng is even more confident about this trip. Others may not be too clear, but he has personally witnessed Qin Yi's strength. With him joining, the strength of his small group naturally got a big boost.

  "Junior brother, tomorrow morning, the elder will announce the start of the task at Fuyao Square. Let's gather there and head out together. You should prepare everything you need today." Wu Peng said, "The distance from our Tian Sheng College to Misty Bay is over 3,000 miles. This trip will take us about 20 days or so."

  A few people discussed some details of the trip again, finalized the entire itinerary, and confirmed that there were no omissions before Wu Peng and others left.

  Qin Yi put on a set of clothes and also took away a large stack of purification talismans.

  Qin Yi stored all his belongings in a ring and now everything he owns is hidden inside.

  After checking again and making sure there was no omission, Qin Yi began to cultivate the Eight Extremes Great Method, waiting for the arrival of the next day.

  The next morning, Qin Yi took the elixir distributed by the college and flew towards Fuyao Square on a petal.

  As long as they are students of Tian Sheng College, every day there is a pill allocated by the college and they will not eat ordinary food.

  Because ordinary food contains too many impurities, everything you eat is impure. How can you refine your body and improve your cultivation?

  Even in the Great Wu Dynasty, the Juyan Dan, which was considered a treasure by Qin Hongyi and others, is nothing but trash in the Tian Sheng College, and normally nobody would even bother to take it.

  The Tian Sheng Academy's elixir given to students, after taking one pill, they will be energetic and spirited for the whole day. Taking three pills in a row, they won't need to eat for seven days, and their spirit will be refreshed.

  As he rode on the petals towards Fuyao Square, Qin Yi saw many disciples also heading in that direction.

  When he arrived at Fuyao Square, Qin Yi saw what it meant by "a sea of people".

  In a mountain range, using the Supreme Divine Power, a wide platform was dug out, and at this moment it was crowded with people.

  Estimated at least tens of millions.

  However, Qin Yi soon found Wu Peng and others who were waiting for him after displaying his magical powers.

  The four of them were all dressed up and ready to go, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. In addition to the purification talismans they wore, like Qin Yi, each of them also held a weapon in hand.

  Wu Peng, Zeng Xuan and Xu Qiangwei were a trio of immortal swords, while Zhao Jing Sheng was a long knife.

  These four weapons have distinct textures and shine with a cold light, they are absolutely not ordinary objects.

  Qin Hongyi treasured it as a precious gem, equipping the elite guards with Snow Pattern Fine Steel knives, which in comparison were nothing but crap!

  Especially the long knife in Zhao Jing Sheng's hand, Dragon Roar shook, spiritual energy overflowed, and the air around him couldn't flow to the blade.

  Qin Yi asked and found out that Wu Peng and his group had brought weapons with them this time to ensure that nothing went wrong.

  Those three swords are middle-grade treasures of the Earthly Realm, while Zhao Jing Sheng's long knife is a lower-grade treasure of the Heavenly Realm, specially taken from his family. No wonder it's intimidating.

  The Qin family in Yuhua City, with just a few ordinary artifacts, can become the second-largest family. These four people, however, possess earth-grade and even heaven-grade weapons. This also shows that the families backing Wu Peng and others are by no means simple, their power far surpassing the Qin family of Yuhua City.

  "I didn't expect there would be so many people. It's a case of too many monks and not enough meat, we were overly optimistic earlier." Zeng Xuan smiled wryly as he looked around at the sea of people.

  "Yes, such a good opportunity, unless you're an idiot, who would miss it? Everyone's thinking is similar, teaming up to go, not only efficient, but also ensures personal safety." Xǔ Qiáng said.

  Wu Peng took out a small bottle from his bosom, poured out five emerald green dan pills, and distributed them to Qin Yi and the others. He explained: "This is the antidote pill I exchanged for with some of my accumulated merit points. The misty fog bay has a strong miasma, but with this antidote pill, you won't have to worry about the miasma for a month."

  Qin Yi has now cultivated true energy, and can easily defend against the invasion of miasma without the help of elixirs. However, he cannot reveal this at the moment, so he took the Detoxification Elixir, pretended to swallow it, but actually hid it in his palm. With a flick of his wrist, it fell into the storage ring.

  A few people chatted while waiting for the elder's arrival, Qin Yi quietly released his true energy to probe the cultivation of the surrounding crowd.

  As he had expected, the vast majority of people around him were in the Refining Bone realm to the Blood Sacrifice realm. They were all outer disciples who had formed teams this time, hoping to gain merit points and improve their cultivation.

  Qin Yi's current True Qi exploration range is only three hundred steps, and the farther away, the perception becomes extremely weak. However, even so, he can still feel that in a place far beyond three hundred steps, a rainbow-colored aura gathers into a piece, with a tendency to pierce through the sky, as if thousands of horses and soldiers are approaching, making one's heart tremble.

  Even Qin Yi felt wave after wave of pressure at this moment.

  "That should be the gathering place for lower-level disciples and higher-level disciples. Qin Yuyi is now a lower-level disciple, such a good opportunity, she naturally wouldn't miss it, I suppose she's also among that group of people. My current strength is enough to easily crush you to death, didn't you think so? However, mid-level disciples are strong practitioners who have reached the Flame Boundary realm, if we can see them, that would be great." Qin Yi thought to himself, suddenly feeling a sinister gaze, focusing on him, just like being stared at by a cobra.

  Qin Yi's perception of external objects far exceeded that of ordinary people. Wu Peng and others were still discussing, without noticing this gaze at all.

  Following the direction of his gaze, Qin Yi saw that more than 400 steps away from himself, Chen Huaofeng was carrying a large calabash on his back, with a hint of disdainful cold smile at the corner of his mouth, looking towards him. And Qin Han Zong, who had been slapped by himself last month, as well as some unrecognizable disciples, were surrounding Chen Huaofeng.

  Qin Yiwang looked at them, and one by one, they revealed their sinister expressions.

  Qin Yi's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
