Chapter 176: Conflict

Behind the counter, an old man was sitting behind with his eyes closed. Xiao Chen walked up to him, tapped the counter lightly, and said, "Don't pretend to be asleep, come to pick up the task."

The old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were dull, as if he had just woken up, and he said with a smile: "It's just a nap, it's not like pretending to be asleep, the first time you accept a mission, first take your waist card."

The old man took the badge from Xiao Chen, glanced at it and said, "Qing Yunfeng, Ye Chen. I didn't expect to stay out for a while, Qing Yunfeng has already recruited people."

"Put the badge on me first, and register it for you. Go to the second floor to get the task."

second floor? Where is the second floor, Xiao Chen looked around, but did not see any entrances such as stairs, and looked at the old man suspiciously.

The old man was facing Xiao Chen's waist card, engraving something, seeing him looking towards him, he remembered something and said: "Forgot, this is your first time here, you can see it after you open that door."

Xiao Chen looked in the direction of the old man's finger, and there was a door in the shadow behind the counter. The door was very hidden, and you wouldn't find it if you didn't look carefully.

Walking to the door, pushing lightly, Xiao Chen stepped in directly, before the soles of his feet touched the ground, Xiao Chen felt dazed for a while, the environment in front of him suddenly changed, and he had already appeared in a huge bookstore.

There is actually a small space formation here, Xiao Chen thought in surprise, and then began to look at the environment here.

A row of people in front were writing something quickly, and pigeons kept flying in and out. It was obviously a sealed environment, and it was unknown how these pigeons got in.

"The Great Elder of Beichen Peak has issued a mission. He needs a fourth-order spiritual beast's inner alchemy. Hurry up and write it down. The mission is of ordinary level and has five merit points."

"Yunvfeng, I need to find someone to protect the medicine field again. The old rules are simple and difficult, five merit points in half a month."

"People in the Spiritual Beast Hall need to capture ten cubs of fifth-order spirit beasts. The task is difficult. Each cub will get fifteen merit points."

The person who received the carrier pigeon read the letter on it quickly, and someone immediately recorded it. This is the operation process of the Hall of Merit.

These recorded tasks will be sent to the upper level for re-examination to see if the difficulty of the task is too different from the task itself, or the task reward is not right.

After the second trial, there will be a final trial, but the final trial will only be for difficult-level sect tasks, tasks below the difficult level,

After the second trial, it can be released directly.

The tasks of the sect are divided into three levels: basic tasks, advanced tasks, and special tasks, and each level is divided into three sub-levels: simple, ordinary, and difficult.

Xiao Chen came to the place where the task was released, in front of a wooden wall, and behind the wooden wall was the staff of the Hall of Merit who released the task.

The man looked at Xiao Chen through the window of the wooden wall, and asked with some doubts: "Are you here to accept the mission?"

This person obviously also knows the unspoken rules set by the other five peaks except Yunv Peak and Qingyun Peak, seeing that Xiao Chen was born in front of him, he is not a core disciple of the five peaks, so he is a little confused.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Pass me the detailed list of advanced tasks."

"Which peak are you a disciple of, show me your waist badge." The man asked without immediately agreeing to Xiao Chen's request.

Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback, and said: "I am a disciple of Qingyun Peak, my name is Ye Chen, and it is my first time to accept a mission from the sect. I have already given the badge to the old man downstairs."

"Qingyun Peak?" The man read a little strangely, "Wait a minute, I'll check first."

Slightly angry in his heart, Xiao Chen finally knew why Liu Ruyue was working so hard. It turned out that this disciple of Qingyun Peak is really making things difficult everywhere now.

The man seemed to be discussing with the higher-ups, and after waiting for a long time, he returned to the window, handed Xiao Chen a list and said, "This is the high-level task to be released today, take a look."

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, took it and looked at it carefully. There were ten tasks on the list, all of which were relatively difficult.

Using the method of elimination, Xiao Chen first eliminated tasks that were obviously impossible to complete, such as hunting and killing ten sixth-level high-level spirit beasts within a week.

After the elimination, there are only five tasks left. If we continue to use the elimination method, those that need to find someone to cooperate to complete must also be eliminated.

In this way, there are only three tasks left, which are to guard the spirit veins for a month, and you can get 800 merit points after completing them.

Hunting and killing one hundred fifth-order spirit beasts, the time is not limited, and the types of spirit beasts are not limited. After finishing, one thousand merit points can be obtained. There is also the last one to pick a seventh-grade medicinal herb, Yellow Spring Grass. The time is not limited, and two thousand merit points can be obtained after completion.

It's no wonder that the high-level missions of the sect are divided up privately. The reward is really exciting, even the smallest reward is 800 merit points.

Xiao Chen considered it carefully, and finally chose the task of guarding the spirit veins, still using the method of elimination. Although there is no time limit for the task of hunting spirit beasts, one hundred fifth-order spirit beasts cannot be completed in a month.

As for the task of picking yellow spring grass, Xiao Chen could only shake his head and smile wryly. Although the reward was scary, he didn't even know where and how to pick it.

Guarding the spirit veins refers to guarding the Lingshi veins in Tiandao Pavilion for a month. There is no mandatory indicator, as long as one month is guarded.

The salary is not high, but it is more than enough for Xiao Chen to pay off the debt, "I choose to guard the spirit veins, this is the first time I accept the task, what procedures do I need to go through?"

"Guarding the spirit veins! You can put a bet here. Come tomorrow morning. There is no limit on the number of people for this task. You can start when everyone is here. As for the procedures, you can go down with this wooden sign." .”

The man took out a contract and asked Xiao Chen to sign it, and then handed him a small wooden sign.

Xiao Chen took it over and looked at it, except for a series of numbers engraved on it, there was nothing special about it, but when the divine consciousness shot at it, Xiao Chen unexpectedly felt a powerful aura.

hum!

A ray of energy from outside the sky passed through the Hall of Merit and Directly pierced into Xiao Chen's mind, "Don't act rashly!"

Xiao Chen was startled, quickly withdrew his consciousness, looked around carefully, found no one noticed him, and left here quickly.

The owner of the qi mechanism on the wooden sign was very powerful, and probably thought that Xiao Chen was going to tamper with the qi mechanism on it, so he immediately warned him.

There are too many Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons in Tiandao Pavilion, Xiao Chen was in awe, and dared not release his spiritual consciousness. The door in the future time opened, and he was immediately teleported downstairs.

brush!

A silver waist card flew towards Xiao Chen, and after Xiao Chen took his position, he took it, and at first glance, it was his own waist card.

The old man smiled faintly at Xiao Chen: "Young people can go, remember the aura on the waist card, don't act rashly, otherwise there will be a catastrophe."

Xiao Chen's face froze, he really didn't show his face, it turned out that the aura on the wooden sign was left by the old man in front of him, Xiao Chen nodded and prepared to leave the Hall of Merit.

Immediately after Xiao Chen appeared, a group of people got up from the wooden table and forced towards Xiao Chen. Although the costumes of these people were different, they were all embroidered with three thin golden threads at the neckline.

This is the sign of the core disciples of the inner sect of Tiandao Sect. These people's cultivation bases are all in the realm of the peak martial arts masters, and they are only one step away from reaching the realm of Wu Zun.

Xiao Chen's face turned cold, knowing that the visitor was not kind, but he was not afraid in his heart, and went directly to meet him. In his current state, apart from Wu Zun, in the realm of Great Martial Master, except for those who have inherited martial souls, there is basically no pressure on him.

"You are Ye Chen!" One of the people wearing Wan Renfeng's costume stepped forward and said sharply to Xiao Chen, the murderous aura spread out from his body, and a flash of light flashed across his eyes staring at Xiao Chen.

"That's right!"

"Remember my name, Yang Qi, you can go..."

Before Yang Qi could finish speaking, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, and the Moon Shadow Knife swayed, quickly unsheathed, and slashed directly at Yang Qi with a piercing cold light.

Seeing that Xiao Chen dared to strike first, Yang Qi's mouth twitched into a sneer, and two half-meter-long short knives appeared in his hands.

The short knife in his left hand stabbed at Xiao Chen's chest like lightning. Xiao Chen was not used to it for the first time when he met an opponent with two swords.

He had no choice but to avoid its edge first, and used the Qinglong Tengyun Jue, with his toes on the ground, his body like an auger, and he drew an arc, directly avoiding Yang Qi's attack.

Standing firm, just as Liuyun Sanying used it, Yang Qi flew to the front, and the two-knife attack was like flowing water.

Although Xiao Chen could easily neutralize every attack of the opponent with the help of Liuyun Sanying, but the angle of the opponent's attack was too tricky, and the speed was extremely fast, slowly Xiao Chen could not keep up with him rhythm.

It felt like tearing down the east wall to make up for the west, it was very strenuous, Xiao Chen's body kept retreating, making the three shadows he had comprehended to the extreme, like a vast ocean, struggling to persist.

Whoosh!

Yang Qi suddenly stretched out his hand and threw out a short knife. The short knife kept spinning in the air, and flew towards Xiao Chen's face with extreme speed.

The moment the dagger came out, another dagger appeared in Yang Qi's hand, and when Xiao Chen avoided it, the dagger flew out again.

Suddenly two short knives flew in the air, and Yang Qi held a short knives in each of his hands, when the short knives circled in the air and flew back towards Yang Qi.

The dagger in his hand was thrown out immediately, catching the dagger that was spinning around, just like this, the four daggers kept spinning up and down in the air, and the attack in Yang Qi's hand didn't stop for a moment.

Xiao Chen, who was already somewhat defenseless, suddenly became even more vulnerable at this moment, with several scars left by the short knife on his arms and thighs.

Xiao Chen thought quickly in his heart that Liuyun Sanying could defend against some extremely powerful attacks, but if the enemy's speed and angle reached the extreme, the shortcomings of Liuyun Sanying would become obvious.

Xiao Chen had to figure out a way quickly, and Xiao Chen gradually felt that something was wrong. These four knives might not be the opponent's ultimate.
