Chapter 318 Do me a favor
Is Cifeng much faster than Hei Niu?
It took Chu Daniu and his companions ten days to get from the capital to Erlong County.
Cifeng was pulling the ox cart, just wanting to get to the destination as soon as possible so that he could escape, so he went a little faster than usual.
Along the way, Chu Daniu was only worried that his ox cart would be torn apart by the stinging wind.
Fortunately, Cifeng was not an ordinary monster, so he was considerate and the journey was not too bumpy.
Five days later, they finally arrived at the capital.
After learning from Chu Daniu that the human race also had many great cultivators and large sects that raised powerful monsters, Xu Zhenfeng asked Ci Feng to pull the ox cart directly into the capital and come to the bottom of the Demon-Destroying Tower.
In the past few days, Xu Zhenfeng took out a few more pills, and the injuries of Chu Daniu and Liu Yunni improved a lot.
After arriving at the Demon-Destroying Tower, Chu Daniu and Liu Yunni took the Demon Burial Box to the first floor to pay the reward.
After Xu Zhenfeng spoke to the deacon on duty on the first floor, a deacon took him directly to the second floor.
Not long after we sat down in a private room, Deacon Chen came in with a smile on his face.
"It's only been half a month, and you've already completed the bounty and returned, Brother Xu?"
Xu Zhenfeng took out the magic box and placed it on the table, then smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
Deacon Chen took the Demon-Gathering Box and took out a large box with runes carved on it and a piece of colored glass inlaid on the surface.
After placing the Demon-Collecting Box into the big box, he reached out and pressed the mechanism on both sides of the big box.
Then the figures and distorted faces of seven demons appeared on the glass.
Deacon Chen suppressed his surprise, put the Demon Box away, and when he spoke to Xu Zhenfeng again, his tone was a little more respectful than before.
"Mr. Xu, in addition to the bounty from the Demon-Slaying Tower, there is also an additional bounty of 300 magic crystals from the Confucian Zhou family for this mission. I'll give it to you right away."
After saying this, he took out two wooden boxes from his storage magic tool.
After placing it on the table, he pushed it in front of Xu Zhenfeng with both hands with a respectful attitude.
Xu Zhenfeng opened it and saw a wooden box containing the bounty of the Demon-Slaying Tower, fifty mid-grade magic crystals.
In the other box was the bounty of the Confucian Zhou family, three hundred mid-grade magic crystals.
Xu Zhenfeng put it away with satisfaction, and then said to Deacon Chen: "I still want to accept the reward. Does Deacon Chen have any recommendations?"
This time, Steward Chen took out another booklet, placed it in front of Xu Zhenfeng and said, "Mr. Xu has completed the bounty mission very well this time, which has proved that Mr. Xu is very capable. Since you still want to continue accepting bounties, then take a look at this."
Xu Zhenfeng opened the booklet and looked directly at the bounty at the bottom without looking at the tasks. Surprisingly, from the first page, it started at one hundred magic crystals.
Looking at the task requirements above, it turns out to be to assist an eighth-grade earth-level cultivator in killing an eighth-grade earth-level monster.
He looked at Deacon Chen in confusion and asked, "This mission is a bit strange."
Steward Chen smiled and said, "This is a secret mission entrusted by a Buddhist disciple. Even if Master Xu accepts this mission, he must not tell anyone about it. If he sees the Buddhist disciple again, he must pretend not to know him."
"why is that?"
Xu Zhenfeng was puzzled.
"When a Buddhist disciple reaches the eighth level of the Earth Rank, he must rely on the life of a monster of the same level and quality as a pass to enter the highest martial arts hall of Buddhism to practice more advanced Buddhist techniques."
"Then don't the Buddhist sect help its disciples hunt monsters?"
"Must hunt alone."
Deacon Chen looked amused, "Some Buddhist disciples feel that they are not strong enough after reaching the eighth level of the Earth Rank. If they really want to hunt down an eighth level of the Earth Rank Demon alone, who knows who will kill whom?"
Xu Zhenfeng thought, isn't this cheating? I'm familiar with this.
But he changed his mind and realized that he was only at the second level of the Earth Rank, and there was no way he was qualified to assist an eighth level of the Earth Rank in the Buddhist sect in hunting an eighth level of the Earth Rank monster.
He shook his head and continued to turn to the second page. The bounty on this page was still one hundred magic crystals, and the mission was to escort a retiring court official back to his hometown.
Xu Zhenfeng looked at the route map and found that it was more than a thousand miles long. Ordinary human beings could not withstand long-term and fast travel.
You have to travel during the day and stay in the dormitory at night, eat and drink on time. The round trip will take at least two or three months.
He continued to flip through the pages, and on the third page was two hundred magic crystals. The mission was issued by the royal family, and the reward was a plant that had turned into a monster, regardless of whether it was herb or woody.
The corner of Xu Zhenfeng's mouth twitched. Two hundred magic crystals just for a plant that has become a monster?
Even if he had the reward, he would not accept it. Wouldn't it be nice to give such good stuff to his son to improve his strength?
The bounty on the fourth page is finally a bit more normal. It's from a fairly famous independent cultivator family in Dajin. They want to invite several high-level and high-quality cultivators to accompany the family members to train at the border between the demon world and the human world for a month, which is the area around Qianhai Kingdom that was destroyed by monsters.
The bounty is divided according to the monk’s level of cultivation.
Five hundred magic crystals for Earth Grade 8 and above, eight hundred magic crystals for Earth Grade 9 and one thousand magic crystals for Heaven Grade.
Yes, at least he has to be an eighth-grade earth-level cultivator.
Xu Zhenfeng turned to the fifth page with some helplessness. This was a reward for three herbs, the Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass used to make top-grade elixirs, and five hundred magic crystals.
Seeing this reward, Xu Zhenfeng finally perked up. The Huangjing doll is a herbal monster. It would be many times easier for him to find this rare and top-grade herb than for humans to find it themselves.
"Deacon Chen, where does this Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass usually grow?"
Seeing that he was interested in the reward, Deacon Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xu, I advise you to forget it.
The nine-leaf resurrection grass grows under the Naihe Bridge in the underworld.
Over the years, the relationship between our human race and the underworld has become increasingly worse because monsters have repeatedly intercepted human souls.
There have also been several deadly battles between scattered Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian monks and the underworld.
The King of Hell in the underworld sent several ghost kings to lead heavy troops to guard all places in the underworld that are easily accessible to living people.
If ordinary cultivators of our human race go to Naihe Bridge to pick the Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass, I am afraid they will never come back.
Even famous monks would not bother to earn these 500 magic crystals, and they would even have to save face and ask the ghost king who guards the Naihe Bridge for a favor. "
Xu Zhenfeng was stunned. Has the relationship between the human race and the underworld become so strained?
However, I am a member of the demon clan, so the relationship between the Demon Mountain and the Underworld is still good.
He suddenly remembered that he knew a ghost in the underworld. What was his name? He also gave him a stone of speech, saying that it would facilitate future contact.
I wonder if the underworld can help me?
