Chapter 309 Mission 1 2
Just as Xu Zhenfeng was hurriedly on the road with Huang Jing, in a hidden room on the third floor of Jingmiao Pavilion.
Shangguan Jinyi was standing in front of a huge black desk, her head slightly lowered, speaking respectfully to an old man.
“That young man looks to be in his early twenties, but he has already reached the second level of Earth Rank.
His subordinates searched through the records of geniuses of several major sects in Dajin, including the records of geniuses of the royal family of Dajin, but they did not find one who matched his appearance and age.
I suspect that this young man who claims to be surnamed Xu may be a royal genius of Qinyue Country, or a rising star of several major sects in other empires. "
The old man sitting in front of the table, holding a carving knife in his hand, was carefully carving profound and difficult rune lines on the edge of the huge table.
After hearing Shangguan Jinyi's words, he stopped the carving knife in his hand, looked at the runes he had just carved, and asked, "Do you suspect that he is a genius from Qinyue Country who came out to gain experience?"
“Yes, I also suspected this at first, but this young man was accompanied by a child of seven or eight years old, who he said was his son.
The child is cute and smart, and he is very intelligent. The two of them really look like father and son.
But how could a genius who came out to gain experience bring a child who is only seven or eight years old with him?"
Shangguan Jinyi seemed to be asking herself a question, and then she answered it herself: "It is also possible that the child is also a very talented cultivator, and the young man brought him out to train in order to increase his knowledge.
But there must be heavenly monks following and protecting them, father and son.
Or maybe the young man has enough confidence that no matter what kind of crisis he encounters, he can protect himself and the child."
"Have they accepted the bounty mission at the Demon-Slaying Building?"
The old man asked as he continued to look at his carving.
"Just now, Steward Chen from the Demon-Slaying Tower sent someone to deliver a message saying that Master Xu has accepted the mission to kill the seven demons and has already left the city."
"Seven Demons? Is that the demon that is good at sneak attacks and escapes?"
"Yes, it is the seven demons that attacked and killed the genius of the Zhou family of Confucianism."
"I remember that the genius from the Zhou family who was attacked was a seventh-grade Earth Rank? He seemed to be less than 30 years old?"
The old man raised his head as if recalling something.
"Reporting to the commander, the genius of the Zhou family who was attacked by the Seven Demons was already at the seventh level of the Earth Rank at the age of 27. His name was Zhou Buyu. The Seven Demons were at the fifth level of the Earth Rank."
"Yes, yes, yes, I remember that. You said that young man surnamed Xu is a second-grade Earth Rank? He actually dared to accept the mission to kill a Yue-rank enemy. It seems that he is quite confident."
"Should I send someone to follow him? Let's see what cards this Mr. Xu has that he dares to accept the mission of killing Yue Pin."
"No need. If he can successfully kill the seven demons and come back, you can go and have a good time with him. If he wants to buy the Demon Devouring Wheel on credit, you can give it to him on credit."
"But he has no collateral of equal value, nor any famous monk to guarantee him. This?"
Shangguan Jinyi asked hesitantly.
The old man chuckled, “If he can use his Earth Rank 2 cultivation to successfully kill the seven demons who have already become famous.
Then he himself would be a famous monk, a famous monk with excellent talent and unlimited future at a young age.
We won't lose money by giving him the goods on credit.
Remember the rules of our Jingmiao Pavilion for investing in monks: it is better to help when the time is right than to add icing on the cake. "
Shangguan Jinyi nodded silently after hearing this.
At the same time, on the third floor of the Demon-Slaying Building, Deacon Chen was reporting to a Heavenly Rank Deacon.
"The young man surnamed Xu was quite confident. My subordinates tried to persuade him to take on some easier bounties first, but he refused and insisted on taking on the Seven Demons mission.
According to the rules of our Demon-Slaying Tower, the monks can choose any bounty mission by themselves, and there is no reason for the tower to stop them. So, I will follow the rules."
"It's right to follow the rules. Did you see where that young man came from?"
The Heavenly Deacon sat at the tea table with a big sword, drinking tea and asking.
“I am stupid and could not tell which sect the young man belonged to, but there is no such person in my Great Jin State.
He should be a talented young man from Qinyue Kingdom or Dashu Kingdom. His subordinates can hear him speaking with a Dashu accent occasionally.
It is very likely that the Xu is a genius from the Great Shu Kingdom, but I am not sure."
"Great Shu Kingdom?"
The Heavenly Steward was a member of the royal family of the Great Jin Kingdom. He thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any hereditary cultivator in the Great Shu Kingdom with the surname Xu?"
Deacon Chen was also trying to search the records in his mind. After thinking for a while, he said, "It is said that there is a family of independent cultivators named Xu in Jinguan City of the Great Shu Kingdom.
But I haven't heard that the Xu family has any magic that makes them famous, it's just a normal family tradition."
The Heavenly Steward nodded slightly, "Don't rush to check his background. As long as he is a friend and not an enemy, don't do anything that would offend him.
Now that he has accepted the reward, let's see if he can successfully kill the seven demons.
If he can complete the bounty, then we should make friends with him. There are still too few geniuses in our human race, and we are always attacked by the demons.
The young man surnamed Xu is a genius, and when he travels, he may not be without protectors.
If he succeeds in completing the bounty, give him whatever convenience you can. Maybe there is an old fellow from the Great Shu Kingdom behind him that I know. "
Deacon Chen bowed his head and replied, "I obey your orders."
At this time, the Tianjie Deacon murmured to himself again: "The one with the surname Xu from Jinguan City? There is such a genius in Jinguan City. If he is allowed to travel, the Great Shu Kingdom will definitely send a protector to follow him.
If a Heavenly Rank cultivator came to our Great Jin State, it would be reasonable for him to tell us. This is a bit strange."
As he was speaking, the deacon of that level had disappeared silently from his seat.
Deacon Chen waited until the Heavenly Rank cultivator disappeared before he raised his head and walked forward to personally clear the tea cups on the tea table.
The first floor of the Demon-Slaying Tower was filled with cultivators of the Huang and Xuan levels from various sects, including those from the Xuantian Sect, Confucianism, and Buddhism.
There were even a few young men from the royal family who had good talent for cultivation, standing in front of the big counter, looking at the reward paper posted on the wall.
A tall man with a full beard walked in from the gate with a few men and women of similar age.
The man didn't care that there were several people in front of the counter selecting bounty missions. Relying on his tall and strong body, he walked to the side of the counter and squeezed several monks next to him aside.
The monks were about to get angry, but when they turned around and saw that it was the bearded man, they curled their lips, ignored him, and stepped aside.
The bearded man took out a small white wooden box from his arms, slapped it on the counter, and said to the deacon on duty behind the counter: "Deacon Liu, we are here to pay the reward."
Deacon Liu picked up the white wooden box and examined it, smiling as he said, "I knew that with the help of you guys, this matter would be easy to obtain."
After he finished speaking, he took out a larger box from under the counter, with a piece of inlaid colored glass on the top.
He put the white wooden box into the big box and then closed the big box.
As his hands pressed the mechanisms on both sides of the big box.
Several monsters with miniature bodies and twisted and painful faces appeared in the glass on the surface of the big box.
After Deacon Liu checked to make sure everything was correct, he immediately turned around, opened a drawer from a row of low containers, took out ten medium-grade spirit crystals, and handed them to the bearded man.
The bearded man took the spirit crystal and gave two pieces to each of the men and women behind him in front of the counter. After giving them to those men and women, he only had two spirit crystals left.
Deacon Liu asked enthusiastically, "I want to take on some bounties this time. A group of yellow-level monsters have appeared in Erlong Mountain, and the leader is a Xuan-level eighth-grade monster. Brother Chu, are you interested in going to Erlong Mountain?"
"Erlong Mountain? It's in Lu'an County. It's too far. Let's go to a place closer."
Deacon Liu said with some embarrassment: “Brother Chu, you also know that this is the capital. If something happens in the nearby area, the royal family will clean it up. Erlongshan is considered the closest.
Moreover, because there were quite a lot of monsters in that nest, there were about thirty yellow-level monsters, one Xuan-level eighth-grade monster, and one Xuan-level fifth-grade monster.
After you have cleared the monsters, you also need to help the local government appease the civilians in Erlong County. You need to patrol the county for a few days to help the government calm the people, so the reward is high, twenty medium-grade spirit crystals."
"What did you say? More than thirty yellow-level monsters?"
Upon hearing this, the bearded man surnamed Chu couldn't help but gasp and stared at Deacon Liu and said:
"Deacon Liu, seeing that we brothers have returned with intact arms and legs this time, do you want to give us a reward of broken arms and legs?"
