Chapter 307 Xu Lang
The carriage rattled along for nearly an hour before arriving at a busy street in the outer city. It went all the way to the end of the street and stopped in front of a triangular shop.
Xu Zhenfeng originally thought that such a semi-official and semi-civilian demon-killing organization would have to be a little more restrained.
After he got off the carriage holding Huang Jing, he looked up and saw a huge black wooden sign hanging on the gate tower with the three words "Mie Mo Lou" written in big red paint.
It seems that the human race and the demon race have completely torn their faces apart. I wonder if His Majesty the Demon King is ready. Once the war between humans and demons begins in full swing, the Demon Mountain will have to take sides.
Shangguan Jinyi brought Xu Zhenfeng and his son into the lobby of the Demon-Slaying Building.
There were several sets of tables and chairs placed along both walls, all filled with monks in various costumes.
The main hall at the front is like a huge counter.
The entire wall behind the counter was covered with rows of paper pages. Seven or eight monk-like people were standing in front of the counter, looking up at the papers and whispering to several people behind the counter.
After Shangguan Jinyi brought Xu Zhenfeng and his son into the lobby, a thin man in his forties walked out from behind the counter.
The man seemed to be of the sixth rank of the Earth Rank. He walked over quickly and said to Shangguan Jinyi with a smile on his face, "Why are you here, Deacon Shangguan?"
Shangguan Jinyi also smiled and said, "I have come here today to introduce a cultivator with extraordinary talent and extraordinary talent to Deacon Chen."
After she finished speaking, she stepped aside and said to Xu Zhenfeng, "Mr. Xu, this is Deacon Chen Xu from the Demon Slayer Building."
"This Mr. Xu is called Xu Lang. Although he is a family-inherited cultivator, he has already reached the second level of the Earth Rank at a young age. His talent is truly amazing."
Xu Zhenfeng and Deacon Chen bowed to each other.
Shangguan Jinyi continued, "Deacon Chen, you also know that family-inherited cultivators are afraid that they don't have enough resources for cultivation.
So I brought Master Xu here, and asked Steward Chen to give me some advice on the rules of the Demon-Slaying Tower, and how new cultivators should accept the bounty?"
After hearing what Shangguan Jinyi said, Deacon Chen also secretly looked at Xu Zhenfeng.
He was somewhat surprised to see that this young man, who was no more than in his early twenties, was already at the second level of the Earth Rank.
At Xu Zhenfeng's age, there were a few people in all the major sects who had cultivation levels similar to his.
But they were all geniuses who were found to have extraordinary talents and were trained intensively with huge amounts of resources invested by their respective sects.
This young man, who comes from a family of wild cultivators, is actually able to advance to the second level of the Earth Rank at this age?
How strong is his talent? How much resources did he spend? Can a wild cultivator with family inheritance afford it?
In just a moment, Deacon Chen and Shangguan Jinyi came to the same conclusion.
They all thought that Xu Zhenfeng was a talented disciple from a certain sect who came out to gain experience.
Deacon Chen was even more polite to Xu Zhenfeng. He led them to a room behind the lobby and asked someone to serve them good tea.
After Xu Zhenfeng put down his teacup, Deacon Chen began to explain to him the rules of the Demon-Destroying Tower.
Anyone can accept bounty missions in the Demon-Slaying Building, and upon completion they will receive corresponding training resource rewards.
The Demon-Slaying Tower provides spirit crystals, magic crystals, soul crystals, various rare elixirs, high, medium and low grade magical instruments, and even magic treasures.
Of course there are also mundane things like gold and silver.
In addition, the Demon-Slaying Tower also provides treatment and assistance to monks.
But there is a charge for all of them.
But if you join the Demon-Slaying Building, complete the basic tasks every month, and follow the Demon-Slaying Building's dispatches when the Demon-Slaying Building has actions, then treatment and assistance will be free.
In addition, in the Demon-Slaying Building, you can accept a task by yourself, find a few people to complete it together, and divide the reward among yourself.
Many monks who live on the bounty offered by the Demon-Slaying Tower do not want to join the Demon-Slaying Tower and be controlled, but are also afraid of being alone and weak, so they will gather a few people with similar personalities to form their own small groups.
This way you have more freedom and a wider range of bounty tasks to accept.
The Demon-Slaying Building also has three floors. The first floor is used to issue small bounties, which are not difficult and not dangerous.
It is the choice of Yellow-level and Black-level cultivators. Of course, there are also a very small number of Earth-level cultivators who will take on the tasks on the first floor.
The second floor contains bounty quests that can only be accepted by cultivators above the Earth level.
The tasks posted on the second floor are relatively more difficult and dangerous than those on the first floor.
The third floor is where top-secret missions are issued, and only cultivators above the Heavenly Rank can go to the third floor to accept missions.
Moreover, the third floor is not accessed through the main entrance, but from a secret place at the back of the Demon-Destroying Building.
You can only go up to the second floor from the main hall.
There are forty-seven deacons in the entire Demon-Destroying Building, including four heavenly-level deacons on the third floor and forty-three earthly-level deacons on the first and second floors.
The four heavenly deacons are one each from the Xuantian Sect, Buddhism, Confucianism, and the royal family.
These four deacons take turns to be the head of the Demon-Destroying Tower.
The earth-level deacons are also from these four directions.
The monks who join the Demon-Slaying Tower do not hold any positions. The deacons only arrange the tasks for them to complete based on each monk's cultivation and expertise.
Every time the Demon-Slaying Building organizes a large-scale demon-slaying operation, it will select participants from among the monks who have joined.
Monks who join the Demon-Slaying Tower have three opportunities each year to refuse to participate in additional demon-slaying operations.
After three times, if you still don't want to participate in the next action, you will be deemed to have automatically left the Demon-Slaying Tower.
From then on, he was no longer protected by the Demon-Destroying Tower, and if he was injured, he would not receive free treatment or free medicine from the Demon-Destroying Tower.
When encountering a crisis, there will be no free assistance from the Demon-Slaying Building.
The good thing is that any cultivator can get all the information about the demons in the Demon-Destroying Tower.
For example, when did the demons appear? Where did they appear? How much damage did they cause to the human race?
Provide all traces of the demons' presence in the human territory.
There are also questions like which demon lords are there in the demon clan? Which demon emperors are there? How strong are they? What battle records have they had? Where do they often appear?
Once Deacon Chen started talking, he spoke for nearly half an hour before he explained the general situation of the Demon-Destroying Tower to Xu Zhenfeng.
After listening to this, Xu Zhenfeng hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Deacon Chen suggested that Xu Zhenfeng go to the second floor to look at the bounty list, choose a bounty task that is not very dangerous and easy to complete, and do it once to familiarize himself with the process.
Once you become proficient, you can consider joining the Demon-Slaying Building, or joining those spontaneously organized small groups, and take on some missions with higher rewards.
Of course, if Xu Zhenfeng feels that he is strong enough, he can do it alone.
Seeing that Xu Zhenfeng was going to follow Deacon Chen to the second floor, Shangguan Jinyi said goodbye and left.
Before she left, she asked Deacon Chen to take good care of the new person she brought with her.
He also told Xu Zhenfeng that if he had such monster furs in the future, he must sell them to Jingmiao Pavilion.
She didn't mention the Demon-Devouring Wheel at all, because she knew Xu Zhenfeng couldn't afford it yet and she wanted to avoid embarrassing him by saying it.
