Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 224 New target: Wood Gu Fruit!

Zhang Bingyao looked at the image reflected in the crystal, frowned and said, "Ding Chen has been guarding the [Willow] for fifteen consecutive days, how come he is still alive and kicking?"

He looked at Master Liao who was standing beside him and asked, "Master, could it be that this 'mutated elemental spirit' has suddenly changed its nature and no longer invades the souls of the people around it?"

"Or is it that Ding Chen is being cunning and has never been there at all?"

"It can't be a problem with the 'Mutated Elemental Spirit'."

Liao Rujia shook his head slowly: "Among the menial disciples who entered the cave with Ding Chen, several have already shown symptoms of mental confusion."

"Besides, they go there every two or three days."

"Ding Chen goes there every day!"

Liao Rujia said this, and with a wave of his hand, he took out several more photo crystals from the storage ring.

While playing the video, he said, "What is recorded here is the image of Ding Chen entering the bottom of the cave every day."

"This kid has never missed a single session!"

"Ah? That's really strange..."

Zhang Bingyao was puzzled.

"Forget it, I won't think about Ding Chen anymore."

Liao Rujia waved his hand proudly: "As long as he continues to guard the [Wisp], death is only a matter of a few days earlier or later!"

"What you need to do is to quickly prepare for the upcoming 'Ten Sects Competition'."

"As long as you can represent the sect and achieve good results in the Ten Sects Competition, I will ask the Supreme Master to come forward and grant you and Xiaohua a marriage!"

Upon hearing that he had a chance to marry Wei Sanniang, Zhang Bingyao's eyes, which had been vicious to Ding Chen, lit up: "Yes, I will definitely live up to Master's expectations!"

After watching his eldest disciple leave, Liao Rujia narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: "Leaving aside Ding Chen's 'curse seal' that can control Xiaohua's life and death, just looking at that guy's level of Xuan cultivation, he is really not a good match!"

"In comparison, Zhang Bingyao is much more suitable."

"Including Xiaohua, I already have two 'true disciples' above the fifth level of Xuanhai Realm under my command."

"If we can let them become Taoist companions, with the help of the Hehuan Sect's skills, they will surely make rapid progress!"

……

The chores disciple area at this time.

The hot topic among the disciples in their spare time all revolved around the not-so-small murder case—

"I really didn't expect that the one who killed Zhang Hao was actually his cousin?"

"Oh no!"

"I remember that the two brothers always had a good relationship."

"The reason why Zhang Hao, that bastard, can bully us disciples without any background, isn't it all because of his cousin's support?"

"That's it."

"I don't know what kind of conflict there is between the two brothers, but it has come to a point where they are fighting to the death!"

"Hey, no matter what the reason was, it's a good thing that Zhang Hao died!"

"We can finally say that one less troublemaker has been discovered in the East Third District of the Menial Disciple District!"

"There's more than one missing 'evil'—"

Someone smiled mysteriously, munching on sunflower seeds nonchalantly, shaking his head and saying, "Those guys who used to hang out with Zhang Hao were beaten up by a mysterious man more than ten days ago. They were seriously injured and can hardly get out of bed!"

"Now, their mission has failed. The spiritual stones they have to pay to the sect alone are enough to bankrupt them."

"From now on, I'm afraid they won't be able to show off anymore!"

“Hey, you deserve it!!”

"I just don't know which hero did this? I really want to kowtow to him."

At this time, Ding Chen, who was called an "unsung hero" by many chores disciples, was visiting the Mission Hall.

Beside him was Liu Hong, who had just recovered.

At this time, Liu Hong was like a very competent tour guide, introducing Ding Chen to the overview of each level of tasks in the [Mission Hall].

"In the [Hehuan Sect], the tasks are divided into five levels from low to high, depending on their difficulty: black iron, bronze, silver, gold, and ruby."

"Brother Ding, as a chores disciple, in addition to the work assigned by the superiors, which must be completed daily with guaranteed quality and quantity..."

"If you have free time, you can also come to the [Mission Hall] to take on some missions and earn some extra money."

"Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the strength!"

Liu Hong explained in great detail: "As far as I know, even the lowest-level 'Black Iron' mission is as difficult as ascending to heaven for most menial disciples!"

"Anyway, if I were to go it alone, I definitely wouldn't have the guts to take on a Black Iron-level mission."

"Brother, you are very strong, it doesn't hurt to give it a try."

Ding Chen hummed lightly.

His eyes kept scanning the [Task Notices] posted on the wall.

There are those who hunt monsters;

There are those who refine elixirs;

There are those who go deep into the front lines;

There are those who spy on the enemy, etc.

Ding Chen has no requirements for specific "task types".

He only cares about whether the "task reward" contains the [Wood Gu Fruit] that he has been dreaming of!

Because only by holding the [Wood Gu Fruit] in the mouth, with its unique wood spirit power, can the [Soul Flame Will-O-Wonder Fire], which directly strikes the soul, be activated;

Only in this way can we ensure that after refining this mutated elemental spirit, it will not backfire on us...

At a certain moment, Ding Chen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Huh? Found it!"

He tore off a [Mission Notice] casually.

Seeing this, Liu Hong couldn't help but rub his hands and ask, "Brother, have you decided which mission to take?"

"Would you like me to help you with some advice?"

While speaking, the young man's eyes were already looking at the notice in Ding Chen's hand.

"Well, a gold-level mission, helping the chief disciple Fang Jianfeng in the menial disciple area to tame a 'five-tailed diamond fox'. For this..."

"Wait, wait, Gold Level?!"

Liu Hong, who was just about to show off his "experience and knowledge", was stunned.

well known-

The difficulty of the Black Iron level missions in the Hehuan Sect is a height that the "outer disciples" can hope to reach if they jump hard.

Bronze-level missions can only be completed if one has at least the strength of an "inner disciple".

Silver-level missions are prepared for "core disciples" or "outer sect elders", and are already very difficult!

The gold-level missions above the silver-level ones can only be completed by top-level masters such as "true disciples" and "inner sect elders"...

Although Liu Hong knew that the Senior Brother Ding in front of him was different from the ordinary errand disciple.

But in the final analysis, he was just a menial disciple at the ninth level of the Condensation Spirit Realm!

It would be fine if he took an "Iron Level" or "Bronze Level" mission.

But this boy, who looked much younger than himself, actually started with a "gold level" mission?

How could he possibly handle this?!

"Brother Ding, wait a minute!"

So Liu Hong hurriedly stood in front of Ding Chen and said, "Look carefully, this is a 'gold level' mission!"

"I forgot to tell you before: if you fail to complete the tasks you receive in the [Mission Hall], you will also be punished!"

"Moreover, the higher the mission level, the greater the penalty for failure..."
