“I’ll take this.”
Qin Sang immediately took a liking to one of the tasks.
Chi Lian was a little surprised when she learned of Qin Sang's choice, "Isn't it too far?"
"I've wanted to go to the south for a long time," Qin Sang said frankly, "If I run into trouble along the way, will you help me solve it?"
"Fellow Daoist, are you planning to travel around the world with the help of the Five Immortals' House?"
Snake Eyes looked at Qin Sang deeply and said, "If it is not your fault, we can mediate, but we must also consider the reactions of various forces. As for how much help we can provide, it depends on your level. If you are the one who is looking for trouble, we can do nothing about it."
After a pause, Chi Lian advised: "Daoyou, why don't you patiently accumulate some merits first, so that it will be more convenient to act in the future."
Qin Sang pretended to be dissatisfied and continued to check the tasks on the jade contract. Of course, he wanted to go south as soon as possible, but since he had joined the Wuxianzhai, he wanted to use this identity as a cover in the future, so he couldn't go too far.
"Then let's take these two."
Qin Sang selected two tasks that were suitable for his status and cultivation.
Seeing that Qin Sang was not as stubborn as he had imagined, his snake eyes flashed with satisfaction, "Normally, you can only take one at a time, but with your ability, it would be a waste of your talent to be placed in the Renzi Altar. I can make an exception, so I will take the initiative to grant you these two tasks."
There are five levels inside Wuxianzhai, called altars. Each level is divided into yang altar and yin altar, with yang being the most respected.
The five altars are all named after the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, from top to bottom they are Jiazi, Bingzi, Wuzi, Gengzi and Renzi.
During this period, Qin Sang discovered that many things in this demon realm were shared with humans.
The demon cultivators all chose to transform into humans, which could be explained as a custom left over from the ancient worship of gods. But many common sense here, such as the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, are shared by humans. Some things that are said to have been created by the ancestors of the human race are already common to these demon cultivators, which means that at least at some point in time, this place must have been connected to the outside world.
Qin Sang had just joined the Five Immortals' Pavilion and according to the rules, he was listed in the Renzi Yin Altar, but a strong person in the Lianxu realm could easily be promoted to the Gengzi Altar.
According to Chi Lian, if a demon cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage fights for his life, he may have a chance to be promoted to the Gengzi Altar, and then to the Wuzi Altar, where basically all the strong men are at the level of a mountain master, and are more valued by the Five Immortals' Hall and can enjoy more conveniences.
As long as he completes these two tasks, Qin Sang can be promoted to the Gengzi Altar, but further promotion will be more troublesome and will take some time.
After accepting the mission, Qin Sang immediately left Shilong Mountain, holding the jade contract in his hand. All the information related to the two missions was listed. Qin Sang glanced through it and had a general idea in his mind. For him, the reward was basically negligible, and the mission was not difficult at all.
……
"Swish..."
Under the moonlight, the mountain stream flows through a pool of water, and the river channel winds around the pool like a jade belt, which is beautiful beyond words.
There was a man standing beside the pond, staring at the water, not moving for a long time.
This person has a leopard head and round eyes, with some obvious features of a leopard monster, but he does not have the domineering temperament that a beast should have. There is sadness in his eyes, like a weak woman, admiring herself in her own reflection.
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky. The leopard monster was immersed in sorrow and was completely unaware.
"You are the one who asked Wuxianzhai for help?"
Qin Sang landed behind the leopard monster, confirmed that this was the real boss, and asked.
The leopard demon suddenly woke up, let out a roar and leaped far away. After he calmed down, he realized Qin Sang's identity.
"You...you are the senior of Wuxianzhai?"
Sensing Qin Sang's breath, the leopard demon was overjoyed.
Wuxianzhai was its last straw. There was no response for a long time and it was thought that there was no hope at all. Unexpectedly, they would send a demon king to come.
It seems that the stone is indeed a rare treasure!
However, it did not feel any regret at all. As long as it could find a Taoist partner, it was willing to pay any price.
"You want me to rescue your partner. Tell me what's going on..."
Qin Sang looked at the leopard monster with a strange look in his eyes. This leopard monster also had the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Stage. In such an environment, romantic people were indeed rare.
"Senior Qingfeng, my wife left the mountain early that morning..."
The leopard demon knelt in front of Qin Sang and explained the whole story.
It turns out that its Taoist partner is a transformed lark. The two monsters knew each other when they were weak. Since they have no big monsters to support them, it is more difficult for them to survive in this monster territory than in other places.
What is rare is that the two demons snuggled up to each other to keep each other warm, and by chance they obtained a method to resist the six-day old energy. They kept fighting, and finally became Taoist companions. They have walked hand in hand to this day and have both achieved deification.
Unexpectedly, joy turned into sorrow. Its Taoist companion suddenly disappeared when they went out one day. It searched for him in vain, so it went to Wuxianzhai.
"She must not be dead. Please, senior, rescue her!" The leopard demon kowtowed and begged.
Everyone knew that the silent abduction of a demon cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage must have been an act with a lot of twists and turns. It might have been the work of a nearby demon king.
The stone contributed by the leopard monster is indeed valuable, so Wuxianzhai accepted the task. However, no one was willing to take it because it might offend a monster king.
"Since you have a way to confirm that she is still alive, but can't find out where she is now? Take me to the place where she disappeared and take a look..."
Qin Sang grabbed the leopard monster, leaped up, flew over a dozen mountains, and landed in a valley.
There were traces of a fight in the valley, which was sealed off by the leopard monster and preserved intact.
Qin Sang took a quick look and already had a goal in mind.
Before coming, Qin Sang was not unprepared. Wuxianzhai's intelligence capabilities were first-class, and combined with recent major events, they were able to infer some things.
"follow me."
Qin Sang felt about 70% confident and flew eastward with the leopard monster.
After flying for more than ten days, they arrived at a lake late one night.
"This... here... is Danyun Lake!" the leopard monster exclaimed with fear on his face.
All the demon cultivators in this area know the Lord of Danyun Lake, who is far more vicious than the other demon kings. Normally, they dare not get close to Danyun Lake.
"What? Are you scared?"
Qin Sang said, "If you are afraid, we will go back now and I will ask the owner of Wuxianzhai to return the stone to you."
"I beg you, senior, to rescue my wife! At worst, we can just run away from here!" The leopard demon was resolute and did not care about life or death.
Qin Sang nodded slightly and flew into Danyun Lake openly. Not long after flying, he saw water vapor gathering on the lake surface and an invisible resistance stopped him.
After a while, several black cranes flew out of the mist and transformed into humans. They bowed and said, "I wonder which senior is here and what you want so that we can report to our master."
"I'm Qingfeng from Wuxianzhai, visiting Brother Xuan and want to ask for a favor from him." Qin Sang said in a friendly manner.
The leading black crane glanced at the leopard monster, asked no more questions, and retreated back into the fog.
After a while, bells and drums rang in the center of the lake, and a mighty aura emerged out of nowhere. At the same time, a path was opened up in the water mist, and black cranes lined up on both sides to welcome the distinguished guests.
Qin Sang smiled and walked in with the leopard monster. The view in front of him opened up and he saw the magnificent scenery in the center of the lake. Standing on the island in the center of the lake was a man in a black robe.
The man was thin and extremely capable. He was none other than the master of Danyun Lake. He called himself Xuanhe, an immortal crane who had attained enlightenment.
"Brother Xuan, sorry to bother you," Qin Sang bowed from a distance, as if he was very familiar with Xuan He.
"Fellow Daoist from Wuxianzhai has arrived. I'm sorry that I couldn't come to greet you from afar."
Xuan He was not as ferocious as the rumors said. He smiled and returned the greeting.
"Don't dare!"
Qin Sang brought the leopard monster to the island, exchanged a few words with Xuan He, and told him his purpose, "I came here to ask for a favor from Brother Xuan..."
After hearing this, Xuan He remained expressionless and said, "Oh," "I wonder what kind of relationship this young friend's Taoist partner has with you?"
"There is no connection! Brother Xuan must know something about the rules of Wuxianzhai. I just joined Wuxianzhai and happened to get this job. If she has not offended Brother Xuan, I hope Brother Xuan can be flexible," Qin Sang said with a smile.
"What if I say she's not here?"
Xuan He narrowed his eyes and asked back.
The leopard demon's face was filled with anxiety.
Qin Sang gathered a ball of water vapor, which transformed into the valley, and also some black shadows. After a burst of light and shadow, the black shadows dissipated, leaving traces in the valley.
"This should be the magical power of Danyun Lake, right?"
Although they were well concealed, they could not escape Qin Sang's eyes and ears.
"Fellow Daoist, you are so dedicated, it seems that you are determined to find her?" Xuan He's tone was slightly cold.
"Exactly!"
Qin Sang nodded, "This is my first mission after joining Wuxianzhai, so of course I want to do it to perfection."
Xuan He stared at Qin Sang with his eyes becoming colder and colder. The invisible pressure made the leopard demon beside him tremble.
Qin Sang looked at Xuan He calmly.
After a moment, Xuan He closed his eyelids slightly, "Okay, I will give you a favor. However, if the person captured is not the one you are looking for..."
"Let's turn around and leave!"
Qin Sang said decisively, "Please let her come out and see me."
"Go and bring her out," Black Crane gave an order, and immediately two black cranes jumped into the bottom of the lake.
Soon, they came out with a banshee.
Seeing the banshee, the leopard demon was filled with ecstasy and shouted, "My lady!"
Unexpectedly, the female demon had a blank expression on her face. She bowed deeply to Xuan He, stood beside Xuan He respectfully, and didn't even look at the leopard demon.
Qin Sang held down the excited leopard demon, looked the demon up and down, and snapped his fingers to shoot out a beam of light.
Xuan He's eyes flickered, and murderous intent flashed across his face.
As the light entered her body, the banshee immediately showed signs of struggle, but her eyes gradually regained clarity. When she saw the leopard demon, she called out softly, "Husband."
Looking at the two demons crying with joy, Qin Sang said with a smile: "It seems that this is the one we are looking for. Thank you Brother Xuan for your help. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he picked up the two monsters and flew out of the lake.
The other Black Cranes all looked at Black Crane. Black Crane stared at Qin Sang's back with a changeable expression. In the end, he watched them leave but did not give the order to stop them.
After flying some distance away from Danyun Lake, Qin Sang's face suddenly darkened.
Xuan He was obviously ready to make some moves, but he kept silent after seeing him easily break the restrictions in the female demon's body. And Dan Yunhu's arrest of the demon cultivators outside was obviously not a pure purpose.
According to common sense, in order to avoid angering the other party, Qin Sang had better exchange the treasure with Xuan He. If he forcefully asked for it now, he would definitely offend Xuan He.
Qin Sang did this actually as a test. Through the information from Wuxianzhai and some of his previous experiences, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him. The fact that Xuan He actually endured it made him more suspicious.
Is something big going to happen here?
What undercurrents are going on behind the scenes, and what roles do Wuxianzhai and Chilian play?
It was as if there was an invisible net, and I was unaware of it and plunged into it, becoming a chess piece used by Chi Lian to test the waters.
Qin Sang recalled what Chi Lian had said, sneered in his heart, and murmured: "Aren't you afraid that I will break the net..."
As this thought flashed through his mind, Qin Sang looked at the two monsters beside him.
The lark demon looked delicate and lovely. She wiped the tears from her face, walked up to Qin Sang, and bowed, "Thank you for saving my life, senior."
"Where did you get that stone?"
Qin Sang asked directly. The strange stone was one of the reasons why he chose this mission.
The lark bird demon said respectfully: "Reporting to the senior, when we were trading with a fellow Taoist..."
"Don't try to lie to me."
Qin Sang interrupted her, "You don't have the ability to dig out that stone mine yet. Keeping it will only bring trouble to you."
The lark bird demon's face suddenly turned pale.
The leopard demon was shocked and hurried forward to persuade: "Tell the senior. Without the senior, we would not be able to meet again."
The lark bird demon smiled bitterly and said, "How did you know, senior, that we still control a mineral vein?"
"That stone contains gentian stone gold. I know more about them than you can imagine."
Qin Sang did not intend to take it by force. "Tell me where the spiritual mine is, and I will give you a ride. Otherwise, do you think you two can really escape from Xuanhe's clutches?"
After these words were spoken, the two demons no longer dared to hide anything and hurriedly revealed the location of the spiritual mine.
Qin Sang kept his promise and sent them to a safe area. Then he turned back and flew towards the place where the mineral vein was. Finally, he drilled into a crack in the ground and found the deep mineral vein.
It is not dark deep underground, but filled with golden light.
The golden glow is exactly the aura emitted by the gentian stone gold mine. It is like an invisible sword, omnipresent. If a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage is not careful, he will die here.
“The spiritual mine is surprisingly intact.”
Qin Sang didn't believe that there was no master in Wuxianzhai. He couldn't see any clues. Chi Lian actually resisted the temptation of the gentian stone gold mine and gave this task to him. The more so, the more it showed that they had a big plan.
Gentian Stone Gold is one of the best spiritual materials for refining flying swords. When Qin Sang decided to re-refine the Gray Oriole Sword, he selected some spiritual materials, including Gentian Stone Gold. Now with so much Gentian Stone Gold, he has saved a lot of trouble.
Since it was a benefit that came right to his doorstep, Qin Sang accepted it with a smile.
"Maybe I can gather all the spiritual materials for sword-making here..."
Qin Sang discovered that the demon race's weapon refining methods were very different from those of humans. Many spiritual materials that were rare in the Great Zhou were not so scarce here.
With a flash of red light, the Vermilion Bird and the Qilin appeared. These two fire beasts were the best 'miners' for mining gentian stone gold.
"Take them all away, leaving no one behind!"
It is not easy to dig out the spiritual mine. As long as Qin Sang is fascinated by the treasure, he will be trapped here and will inevitably be caught in the storm.
It's a pity that Qin Sang is not going to play with them. Not only does he have to swallow the bait, but he also wants to make Chi Lian suffer in silence!
