Chapter 544: Chapter 14 Shaoyin Mountain Quest Hall_5

After a while, this task was quickly taken up by a Golden Core Craftsman.

Regretfully, Wang Ba moved towards the fourth water curtain.

The fourth water curtain naturally displayed tasks only Nascent Soul cultivators could undertake.

On the water curtain, there were also several golden lights, occupying a third of the entire curtain.

“Destroy one of Tupi Continent’s garrisons in West Sea Country, currently, there are nine Nascent Souls and thirty-five Golden Core cultivators, skilled in forming ‘Shura Array’ … Reward: Sixty thousand points of merit! Issue date: Three years ago.”

“Defeat the first holy child (late-stage Nascent Soul) of Yan’s primitive Demonic Sect, promote the might of Jin…Reward: Thirty thousand points of merit! Issued date: One and a half years ago.”

“Block the Immortal Ascension ‘Monk King Xin’ of Xituo Continent…Reward: One hundred fifty thousand points of merit! Issued date: Half a month ago.”

” … ”

Seeing the rewards for these tasks, Wang Ba couldn’t help but brighten his eyes, but upon seeing the specifics of the tasks, his heart immediately lost any thought of accepting them.

He didn’t feel that he has lived enough yet.

Not to mention the task with a whopping reward of 150,000, is this really meant for Nascent Soul cultivators?

The task was to block an Immortal Ascension!

No wonder it has been listed on the task water curtain for half a month without anyone daring to take it.

And as for that other task to defeat the first holy child of Yan’s primitive Demonic Sect, the difficulty is likely not the holy child himself, but how to bypass the numerous Demon Dao cultivators of Yan and engage the enemy, and then escape alive after winning the battle.

In short, the Sect tasks that have been left on the water curtain without being accepted were undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Wang Ba slightly shook his head and, in turn, returned to the second water curtain, took out his Identity Plate, and threw it into the water curtain indicating the tasks for seeking elixirs or spirit food capable of breaking through bottlenecks using merits.

The Identity Plate passed through the water curtain and instantly returned to Wang Ba’s hand.

Wang Ba lightly infused it with mana, and a phantom image leapt out from the Identity Plate, revealing all the detailed task information.

“‘Feiyu Peak’ … Gu Wen?”

Wang Ba thought for a moment, and then promptly flew away from Shaoyin Mountain.

After flying towards Wanfa Peak for a while, he stopped in front of a mountain peak shimmering with a chill green in the moonlight.

Using the sound transmission symbol information left in the task information, he immediately sent out a sound transmission symbol.

Soon, he noticed a house on the mountain peak below light up.

A figure then flew out of the house on a flying Magic Tool and came before Wang Ba.

The visitor had a somewhat pleasant face, wore a cyan heart-shaped Luo dress, styled her hair in a bun, and had a look of urgency on her face.

“I’m Gu Wen.”

“The task… Senior brother, did you accept it?”

She noticed that the aura emanating from Wang Ba was much stronger than hers, and she involuntarily lowered her head.

Wang Ba nodded slightly, then took out a second grade spirit chicken essence in a white porcelain bottle from his storage ring and handed it to her.

“Take a look, will this do?”

Gu Wen hurriedly took it, opened it to have a look, and couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

“It’s spirit food…”

It was well known that the effect of spirit food was generally far inferior to that of elixirs.

However, she hesitated, then said to Wang Ba: “Senior brother, would you mind if I try it? If you do, we can go to Shaoyin Mountain and get someone to act as a witness…”

“It’s fine, you just try it.”

Wang Ba said casually.

He just wanted to see if his spirit chicken essence could be accepted by the Sect’s cultivators.

As for a mere second-grade spirit chicken essence, he wasn’t really concerned.

Wang Ba’s attitude made Gu Wen even less confident.

Who wouldn’t try to cherish their valuable items dearly?

However, she seemed somewhat anxious. She promptly and gently used her mana to extract a bit of it, but she didn’t ingest it immediately. Instead, she spit out a piece of jade and gently touched the Spirit Chicken essence.

The jade didn’t change.

Only then did Gu Wen breathe a sigh of relief. She looked apologetically at Wang Ba and nodded briefly. Then, with a flick of her tongue, she swallowed the Spirit Chicken essence.

After closing her eyes and feeling it, she revealed a hint of joy in her eyes:

“It works, but… the dosage is a bit little. To see noticeable effects, at least five or six doses are needed …”

“Five or six doses …”

Wang Ba squinted his eyes slightly.

He began to calculate.

At Yanqiao Pass, a dose of Class II Spirit Chicken essence, during a period of price inflation, could be sold for one or two upper grade Spirit Stones.

Of course, the normal price would be around fifty or sixty middle grade Spirit Stones.

Five or six doses would be about three upper grade Spirit Stones.

Three upper grade Spirit Stones, in exchange for two merit points. He couldn’t tell whether this deal was a loss or a profit. But if calculated based on Wang Ba’s cost, Wang Ba would definitely make a kill.

Because the cost of five or six doses of Class II Spirit Chicken essence probably isn’t even one percent of the price.

“At most three doses!”

After intense bargaining,

the two finally agreed on four doses of Spirit Chicken essence.

However, the two needed to submit the task at the Quest Hall to formally complete it. They lined up in front of a few houses on the square before they finally managed to wrap up the transaction.

Gu Wen seemed to be quite pleased, as if she had gotten a great deal. As soon as the task was completed, she flew away in a hurry.

Wang Ba looked at the new ‘er’ character that appeared in the shadow on his Identity Plate and could not hide his joy.

Because he had finally found a safe method to earn merit points.

“Spirit Chicken essence. It seems that even here in the Wanxiang Sect, it can still be of some value.”

“I just don’t know whether the sect rears this kind of Spirit Chicken. Otherwise, it would be a great way to earn something from the sect.”

He started to ponder on it.

He didn’t linger any longer and flew towards the Wanfa Peak.

After returning to the Wanfa Peak, he didn’t disturb Yao Wudi and spent the night cultivating peacefully in his room.

The amount of Mother Qi of Dharmas in his body had increased quite a bit.

At dawn, he was flipping through Cui Daqi’s books. What made him slightly worried was that in these books, he had noticed records about Precious chickens and summaries and analyses of their uses.

But what made him feel a little better was that the book only recorded Precious Chickens but had not recorded the Spirit Chickens which were cultivated using Precious Chickens as the mother strain.

“Spirit Chickens… is it possible that no one in the sect is paying attention to this?”

Wang Ba was slightly puzzled.

But, he thought it’s normal. The types of spirit foods recorded in Cui Daqi’s books were quite numerous, especially the sea variety because Jin was near the sea, hence there were extensive types of spirit foods which could cultivate numerous Spirit Beasts. Precious Chickens were merely one variety of ordinary chickens, most of the cultivators would not particularly focus on cultivating them.

But according to the book, there were much more suitable Spirit Beasts in the original sea for making spirit foods. However, one day, on an island in the West Sea, an evil cultivator resembling a demon god contaminated the sea with filthy water, which affected a lot of Spirit Beasts in the sea. Numerous types were extinct and even Jin was affected to a certain extent.

Fortunately, later a massive flood completely inundated the island… a satisfactory outcome indeed.

By dawn, Wang Ba had gained quite a lot, he opened the door and was about to find Yao Wudi.

Unexpectedly, a child flew into the sky at that moment and stood above Wanfa Peak, his voice was cold:

“The order of the Chunyang Palace: Master Yao of the Wanfa Peak has been away from Chen State for a long time. His mind is unstable and is not suitable to be the Guardian of Chen State anymore.”

“From now on… he is dismissed from the position of the Guardian of Chen State!”
