92: C92 Task Acceptance

C92 Task Acceptance

Duan Rong took care of Nie Zhen for a while before leaving. Nie Zhen didn't immediately enter the secret room to cultivate. Instead, he rushed to the Mission Pavilion to accept the mission.

There were a great number of people in the pavilion, and two elders who were specifically in charge of it. Some of the tasks were assigned to the Duobao Sect disciples to handle the mundane matters, and some of them were given to them to take advantage of the opportunity to allow them to gain experience while they were in charge of the missions. There were also some missions that were specifically set up within the clan to give the disciples a chance to train themselves.

Usually, the disciples would go and accept missions from the Mission Pavilion when they were in urgent need of spirit stones. Usually, many disciples would stay at the main peak of the Xiluo Mountain Range to cultivate, since many missions actually required them to leave the Duobao Sect. However, the spirit energy of heaven and earth outside would never be as dense as that of the Xiluo Mountain Range.

When Nie Zhen entered the mission pavilion, other than the two elders, no other Duobao Sect disciples came to take over the mission.

"Hmm? "Are you here to take a mission?" The two elders looked up at Nie Zhen and spoke indifferently.

Nie Zhen nodded and replied, "Correct. Elders, may I ask if you have a mission to kill Earth Dragons?"

One of the elders looked at Nie Zhen, but did not say anything. He nodded and said: "We do, for the dragon's heart heads above Human Stage, you can obtain fifty primary rank spirit stones."

Honestly speaking, Nie Zhen's method of accepting missions was a bit strange. Normally, Duobao Sect disciples would first open their mouths to choose the difficulty of a mission, or the amount of spirit stones to pick the mission's value, how could they rush to a certain mission?

When spirit beasts with early stage Human Stage fought, they might be able to reach the level of high-level Human Stage. However, the Heavenly Dao was fair, although spirit beasts were stronger than humans in terms of combat strength, their comprehension ability was not as high as humans. Furthermore, the degree of fusion of their blood vessels was not as strong as humans either.

As the elder said this, he took out a scroll from the shelf behind him and handed it over to Nie Zhen. "This is the mission scroll. You can return it when you submit the mission."

At this time, the other elder got up, took out a spirit tablet from the Storage Ring, and said to Nie Zhen: "The two of us have never seen you before, so you should be either a new disciple of Duobao Sect or someone who has never accepted a mission. Inject your spirit consciousness into this Soul Jade Token, so that if anything happens to you while you are carrying out your mission, the sect will know as soon as possible."

It sounded uncomfortable, but it was something that had to be done, so Nie Zhen didn't have any objections.

Unless it was the sect master or the elder's direct disciple, the sect would prepare a set of Soul Jade Token s for the disciples. In the event of any misfortune, the sect would immediately know about it, and Duobao Sect disciples had to leave behind the Soul Jade Token s when they completed their missions.

Nie Zhen's Soul Jade Token was supposed to be kept by Duan Rong, but since Nie Zhen just entered the sect, Duan Rong wanted Nie Zhen to get used to the environment of the sect first. They didn't expect Nie Zhen to accept the mission immediately, so they didn't leave any Soul Jade Token for Nie Zhen.

Nie Zhen had come into contact with Soul Jade Token before, so he was naturally familiar with it. He directly sent a wisp of his consciousness into the Soul Jade Token and passed the disciple identity token to the elder for him to help level his identity.

"Alright, be careful during the mission. Go." After the elder registered Nie Zhen's number, he gave Nie Zhen a symbolic reminder.

"Thank you, Elders." Nie Zhen saluted and left the Mission Pavilion.

"Nie Zhen? Advanced disciple? " One of the elders recalled Nie Zhen's disciple identity token from before.

"What's wrong with this disciple?"

The elder suddenly remembered, and said to the elder beside him: "I remember! The champion of our sect's Trial Convention, the one who got a thousand points! "

"It's him? Second Sect Master went to recruit disciples personally? " The other elder also recalled that there was indeed such a person.

"The Second Sect Master just returned to the sect today, which means that today should be his first day in the sect. Why did he immediately accept a mission?"

"A genius working in a place like Subordinate Country probably won't be able to stay idle. To have such a cultivation at such a young age, he should be a master who pursues breakthroughs unceasingly …"

"People who climb up from the lower realms, the more they know how to take action …" That elder let out a long sigh, as if he was enlightened and said, "When we were young, we were always thinking about how to get out of the sect, how would we be afraid of getting into trouble! Compared to my current disciples, hehe … "

"I can see Nie Zhen now, but I don't know how far he will go in the end …"

As for Nie Zhen, after he left the pavilion, he patted Geng Geng on the back of his horse and said to him, "Geng Geng, let's head west, all the way to the Hidden Wind Ridge!"

There would be a mountain called Dark Wind Ridge, and it was said that there were many land dragon spirit beasts here. As long as they could pick one of the land dragons of Human Stage or above and kill it, Nie Zhen would have to pay a visit.

However, since Nie Zhen needed the Earth Dragon's Heart, which originally required the Earth Stage Level, he could only target the Earth Stage's Earth Dragon.

3000 miles was indeed a long distance for ordinary horses, but Geng Geng's cultivation was already at the Human Stage level, so speaking of this, Geng Geng should already be considered a spirit beast, so 3000 miles was naturally not a problem.

With Nie Zhen's method of cultivation, along with the Foundation Establishment Pill that he gave Geng Geng previously, Geng Geng's cultivation increased by leaps and bounds. However, Nie Zhen faintly discovered that Geng Geng's cultivation path did not come from the Asura Divine Spell, but rather from a different path.

In this world, many spirit beasts and mutated Divine Beast possessed inherited memories. These inherited memories were sealed within their souls.2

Nie Zhen was now certain that Geng Geng must be some kind of spirit beast, and its rank wasn't low either. It had its own path of cultivation, and the final decision he provided it was just a stepping stone to developing its inherited memories.

Unfortunately, Geng Geng's cultivation had yet to enter Earth Stage, so Nie Zhen didn't know what Geng Geng was thinking. Spirit beasts normally reached the Sky Realm and spoke human words, but once they reached Earth Stage, they could communicate via telepathy.

After Nie Zhen and Geng Geng left the Duobao Sect Mountain Gate, they headed straight for the Dark Wind Ridge. Geng's speed was extremely fast, after all, he was a Human Stage Spirit Beast.

Although the Dark Wind Ridge was not very big, it was surrounded by criss-crossing mountain ranges and dense forests. Even though it was in the middle of the day, there was no way for sunlight to penetrate through those leaves. Thus, there was no sunlight, only dense, gloomy auras, and a cold wind that blew over all year round, which gave the Dark Wind Ridge its name.

The ordinary people did not dare to enter the Dark Wind Ridge, and those that entered would not be able to come out. And because the Dark Wind Ridge never gets to see the sun, ordinary spiritual herbs also never grow, and because there aren't many good resources, so the cultivators didn't come here often, which led to the numerous spirit beasts. Among them, the dragon Nie Zhen was looking for was the product of the Dark Wind Ridge.

Earth Dragons were not of the dragon race. More accurately, they belonged to the species of lizards, having four limbs, a huge tail, and a hard scale armor. Their appearance was similar to that of an enlarged version of a land crocodile.

Compared to lizards, land dragons were much more aggressive. Landwyrms were bloodthirsty and extremely aggressive. When they met humans, they would often take the initiative to attack and treat humans as their own food.

The scales on the back of the land dragon were its most powerful support. Spirit beasts of the same level would rarely be able to break through its scales. With this natural armor, the land dragons would be able to move freely in this part of the Dark Wind Ridge and would have few opponents.

Nie Zhen rode Geng Geng through the night and finally arrived at the outskirts of the Hidden Wind Ridge. After getting off his horse, Nie Zhen said to Geng, "Brother, thank you so much. If not for you, I would have had to travel for at least two days. I never thought that ever since you acquired your cultivation, your speed would be so fast. "

Geng Ken's speed was obviously better than Geng Ken's. Even spirit creatures of the same level wouldn't be able to surpass him in terms of speed.

When Geng Geng heard Nie Zhen praise it, he cried out in delight.

Nie Zhen and Geng planned to meditate at the outskirts of the Dark Wind Ridge for a day, then enter the Dark Wind Ridge to kill a Earth Stage dragon.

On the other side of the Dark Wind Ridge, there was another group of men in black clothes moving towards the Dark Wind Ridge at an extremely fast speed. There were eighteen of them, and the two leaders were an old man and a young woman.

The old man said to the young girl: "Yi'er, it's fortunate that no one noticed us entering Duobao Sect territory this time. After remembering about the Purple Smoke Divine Fruit, we immediately return to the sect.

The young girl lightly laughed, "Master, don't worry. We didn't get discovered by Duobao Sect all the way here, and Duobao Sect is just this much. It's just that this time, for the sake of my breakthrough, we have to put in a lot of effort. Master has to look for Purple Smoke Divine Fruit for me, disciple has a guilty conscience …"

The old man waved his hand: "I only have you as my disciple, for no one else. Your cultivation has been stuck in the Sixth Level of the Earth Stage for many years, but now that I have heard of a treasure like the Purple Smoke Divine Fruit, I naturally have to go out and pick it for you."

When the old man spoke to here, the girl said hatefully, "If it wasn't for that damned Earth Dragon Emperor guarding that Purple Smoke Divine Fruit, I could have harvested it by myself. Why did we have to gather so many people along the way? We were even worried that the Duobao Sect would discover us."

The old man said helplessly: "There are spirit beasts guarding all kinds of treasures. That Earth Dragon Emperor has the cultivation of Ninth Level of the Earth Stage, and with your cultivation, you are definitely not a match for him. Even if this old man were to directly reach the Sixth Level of the Heavenly Stage, they would at most be able to fight to a draw."
