Chapter 163 Chiyun Mountains

Although the wooden house is broken, it is not troublesome to repair it. It only needs to plan a few boards and nail them on. Let alone two hundred taels for this kind of work, even if it's fifty taels, as long as Gu Sheng howls, a lot of people will rush to do it. Liu Yiming was afraid that Gu Sheng would regret it, so he put the banknote into his arms: "Don't worry about this little thing. When I finish the work, I will also help you buy the bed! If you have anything to do, go ahead and do it!"

Gu Sheng smiled and said nothing. He turned around and followed the road he had just come back to the three-way intersection leading to the three peaks.

"Forget it, let's go to Ares Peak!"

The Merit Hall of Shengdan Sect is available on every mountain peak, but the tasks released by the Merit Hall of each mountain are also somewhat different, not only in difficulty but also in type.

For example, the tasks released in the Hall of Merit on the God of War Peak are basically combat-oriented and involve certain risks, such as entering the Chiyun Mountains to hunt demon-blooded beasts and searching for special medicinal herbs. The tasks on the Lingdan Peak are more technical, and most of them are It is to refine elixirs for other forces or private individuals. In addition, there is a long-term task in the Merit Hall of Lingdan Peak, which is to refine elixirs such as bone-strengthening pills and bone-protecting pills, which have long-term sales.

As for the tasks in the Merit Hall of Yunsheng Peak, they are all-encompassing, and they are all very difficult. Basically, they require the cooperation of several masters of the Golden Bone Realm or masters of the Marrow Refining Realm to complete them.

Gu Sheng wanted to find some easy work, but he hadn't learned the art of alchemy yet, so he could only go to the Merit Hall of the God of War Peak to find some brute force tasks.

Gu Sheng meandered along the bluestone road. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the originally dense ancient trees appeared faulty, and many buildings appeared in front of him.

Among these buildings are many simple wooden houses, and there are also three palaces that are three stories high and have a solemn appearance.

Each of the three palaces occupies a very large area. The smallest one has an area of ​​300 to 400 square meters. The largest one has an area of ​​700 to 800 square meters on the first floor alone. On the largest palace hangs a very large A large plaque with the three characters "Gongde Palace" written in a dragon-snake style.

People came and went in the Hall of Merit, and many people came in and out. Gu Sheng also followed the flow of people and walked in.

When you enter the Gongde Hall, you will see an extra-long screen.

There were many notes densely pasted on the screen. When Gu Sheng walked in and took a look, he found that these notes were filled with tasks.

There were also many people standing in front of the screen making the selection. Most of these people's cultivation levels were comparable to those shown by Gu Sheng. They were basically all at the Blood Refining Realm. Although there were people at the Bronze Bone Realm, they were not common. About Only one in fifty people will appear.

Gu Sheng couldn't help but frown after looking at the screen for a while: "The contribution points given to this sect are too low!"

Gu Sheng complained secretly in his heart. He had just looked at at least a hundred missions. Most of them were to go to the Chiyun Mountains to find medicinal materials or to hunt down some large beasts to collect bones and blood that could be used to make elixirs. These missions were given by the Merit Palace. The difficulty rating is only one star, and the danger is almost non-existent. The rewards are also frighteningly low, and generally only two or three contribution points are given.

"This contribution point is too low. It will take years and months to collect it!"

Gu Sheng couldn't help but complain in a low voice, but his words happened to be heard by a lean person next to him who had perfected the Blood Refining Realm.

The man took a glance and found that Gu Sheng was not only a new face, but also dressed very simply like a farmer. He couldn't help but sneered and said: "Hey, if it's too low, you can go and see the more difficult ones at the back. There is another order with a reward of more than ten and twenty points, do you dare to take it? You are a smart guy but a smart guy!"

Gu Sheng was not angry when he heard this, but his brows jumped with joy on his face: "Are there any more difficult tasks here?"

The man clasped his hands on his chest and looked like he was watching the fun. He murmured at the passage at the end: "No, you can see the second screen if you go back. Those tasks are difficult, but the risks are also high. Gao, people die every year because of being too ambitious and too weak-minded. Do you dare to accept this?"

Gu Sheng ignored the ridicule on his face, smiled at him and said, "Thank you!" Then he walked towards the passage.

Walking in from the passage, Gu Sheng discovered that there were three screens in the merit hall on the first floor. Gu Sheng had experience this time and did not keep looking at the tasks on the second screen. After looking at a few tasks, he turned around. Go to the third screen.

However, he didn't stay at the third screen for long. He glanced at it for a few times and then turned back. There is no way, the task difficulty on that screen is all three-star, corresponding to the Silver Bone Realm, or the Bronze Bone Realm team.

Although Gu Sheng is confident, he is not arrogant. He will not take on such a difficult task rashly, even if their rewards are very tempting.

The rewards for three-star missions are very generous. Gu Sheng just glanced at a few and found that the sect contribution points awarded are basically between thirty and fifty. In addition, there are other rewards, either silver coins or elixirs. On the other hand, the rewards for two-star missions are much lower, generally between ten and fifteen points, and there are no additional rewards. Fortunately, these missions are aimed at solo players at the Bronze Bone Realm or teams with perfect Blood Refining Realm, and Gu Sheng just meets the conditions.

The rewards in the two-star missions also fluctuated, but the fluctuations were not very large and basically ranged between two or three points. After careful selection, Gu Sheng chose the one with the highest reward.

The task he chose was to hunt a demon-blooded beast called the Porcupine in the Chiyun Mountains. The content on the task list was very detailed. Not only did it clearly describe the strength, physical characteristics and weaknesses of the Porcupine, but it also thoughtfully drew a very detailed fool-proof map.

The map was so detailed that even Gu Sheng, who knew nothing about the Shengdan Sect, could find it accurately. It was also very user-friendly.

The reward for this task was 15 contribution points. Gu Sheng looked at the map and found that the activity range of the Porcupine was not too far from the God of War Peak. If he was lucky, he could basically come back on the same day.

The process of receiving tasks in the Merit Hall was not complicated. After selecting the task, he took the task list to the door to register.

After completing the registration, Gu Sheng followed the instructions on the map and went down the God of War Peak and walked north. After about a quarter of an hour, he saw a thick city wall.

There were still many people patrolling on the city wall. Gu Sheng also found that there were not only watchtowers but also many large city crossbows on the city wall. Such equipment was no different from a heavily guarded city.

There is a small house beside the city wall. The doors and windows of the house are closed and it looks inconspicuous, but he can feel a very oppressive atmosphere from inside!

This atmosphere gave him a feeling far beyond Chen Ke. Gu Sheng guessed that there should be a master of the marrow refining realm inside!

"It seems that the Chiyun Mountains are not peaceful."

Judging from the city wall and the garrisoned personnel, it is obviously to guard against the beast tide in the Chiyun Mountains. There are many masters in the Shengdan Sect, but they still built such a strong city wall. Obviously, they have suffered a great loss.

"It seems that we can't go too deep!"

Gu Sheng had a plan in his mind and decided not to go too deep into it alone.

The gate under the city wall was wide open, and no one checked it. After Gu Sheng went out of the city wall, he tied the quiver around his waist, and then took out the stone crushing crossbow and continued to move forward with the wooden box containing the blood-thirsty giant axe on his back.

The Chiyun Mountains are very large and rich in resources. There are not only many medicinal herbs but also many monster blood beasts. It is a natural treasure house in the Chiyun Prefecture. The two sects, three gates, and even the Governor's Mansion have special entrances to the Chiyun Mountains.

In the Chiyun Mountains, there are both dangers and opportunities. If you are lucky enough to find some valuable medicinal fruits and special materials, you will be rich. If you bring them back to the sect as tribute, you may get a great reward and your status will be much higher. In addition to opportunities, the Chiyun Mountains are also full of dangers. Not only is the terrain complex, there are many monster blood beasts, and there are many people from many forces. It is a mixed bag. If you are not careful, it is common to be robbed by others.

When Gu Sheng was in Gujiazhuang, he often went to Cangshan Mountain to hunt. He was not unfamiliar with this situation. For him, there was not much difference between Chiyun Mountain Range and Cangshan Mountain. It was just that the danger was a little higher. But at the same time, he did not stand still. His strength had also made great progress. As long as he was careful, Gu Sheng was sure that he would not encounter a black-eating-black situation. Even if he encountered it, he would be the one who ate instead of being eaten!

Many tasks in the God of War Peak need to enter the Chiyun Mountain Range to complete. Along the way, Gu Sheng saw many disciples wearing the uniforms of the Holy Dan Sect. On the way, several small teams in the Blood Refining Realm came to ask him if he wanted to form a team when they saw him alone. Gu Sheng declined one by one. After all, his task was to hunt the hallucinogenic porcupines in the Bronze Bone Realm. Teaming up with these people would not only not help him at all, but would also hinder him.

The activity range of the hallucinogenic porcupines was not too far from the entrance of the Holy Dan Sect. After walking for forty minutes, Gu Sheng came to the area marked on the map.

It was written on the task list that the hallucinogenic porcupine had a special nose structure and was very sensitive. In order not to alarm it, Gu Sheng used the snake breath technique to the extreme and activated the shadow hiding skill at the same time.

Although the effect of the shadow hiding skill was not obvious now, Gu Sheng did not care and just regarded it as a practice.

After wandering around this area for half an hour, Gu Sheng finally found the figure of a hallucinogenic porcupine by a small pond!

There were no trees blocking the pond, and the sun shone on the water surface, which was sparkling. The scenery was quite good. A porcupine with spikes all over its body and a high nose was lying on its back basking in the sun.

The size of the hallucinogenic porcupine was not very large, and there was not much difference from ordinary domestic pigs. It was only more than one meter long and looked like it weighed about 300 kilograms.

The appearance of this hallucinogenic porcupine looked much better than that of an ordinary porcupine, mainly because the spikes on its body were colorful, and there was even a faint halo under the sunlight, which looked colorful and dreamy.

Because of the snake breath technique, the hallucinogenic porcupine did not find Gu Sheng, and continued to lie by the pond to bask in the sun. From time to time, it turned over and turned its head into the pond to drink a sip of the clear and sweet water. The pig's face was full of comfort, and it did not realize that danger was coming.

"Hehe, you beast know how to enjoy yourself! You live a more comfortable life than me."

Seeing this, Gu Sheng could not help but laugh at himself. Since he came to this world, he has been like a spinning top that never stops. He has never had a good rest either making money or practicing. After seeing the hallucinogenic porcupine so comfortable, he couldn't help but sigh that he lived worse than a pig!

Gu Sheng secretly pulled out an arrow and loaded it into the stone crushing crossbow.

The spikes on the hallucinogenic porcupine are not for decoration. In addition to being used for attack, they also have a good defensive effect. When they find danger, these spikes overlap together and can be equivalent to a good armor. There are only spikes on the head and abdomen of the whole body.

At this time, the porcupine was lying on its back in the sun, exposing its soft and fragile belly to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng aimed at the heart of the porcupine and immediately pulled the trigger.

Because of the structural problem of the stone crushing crossbow, the sound was not small when it was fired. After hearing the noise, the porcupine turned around very quickly and overlapped all the spikes on its body.

The arrow shot on the armor made of overlapping spikes, making a dull sound, breaking several spikes, and a trace of blood flowed from the porcupine's body, but it reacted in time. The arrow did not hurt its roots and had little effect on the porcupine. Instead, it alarmed and angered it.

Even Lu Junyi could not see the flaws of the snake breath technique that was fully activated, let alone the porcupine.

After feeling that Gu Sheng was only at the perfect blood refining realm, the porcupine was so angry that it screamed, and all the spikes on its body stood up, and the arrow inserted in it was also ejected.

The hallucinogenic porcupine's eyes were full of shock and anger. It was obvious that he was very angry about Gu Sheng disturbing him from basking in the sun. He saw that his two strong hooves were digging the ground quickly, and two thick white gas came out of his nostrils.

After a roar, the hallucinogenic porcupine shot towards Gu Sheng like a cannonball, so fast that even afterimages appeared in the air.

Gu Sheng was also shocked by the speed of the hallucinogenic porcupine, which was much faster than his first-level speed state. Seeing that he could not dodge, he could only throw the box behind him in front of him to resist.

"Dang!"

The hallucinogenic porcupine hit the box, and the fragile wooden box was instantly broken into pieces. The sturdy pig head hit the blood-thirsty giant axe with a crisp sound, and the powerful force directly knocked Gu Sheng out more than ten meters.

Fortunately, Gu Sheng was also in the Bronze Bone Realm, and his body was strong, otherwise an ordinary person who had reached the perfection of the Blood Refining Realm would not be able to bear this!

The colorful spikes on the hallucinogenic porcupine may look beautiful, but in fact, they contain a very toxic toxin. If you get scratched, you will be poisoned and lose consciousness in a short time.

The hallucinogenic porcupine is very fast, and the distance between them is not far, so Gu Sheng has no time to aim and load arrows.

Faced with this situation, Gu Sheng simply gave up the stone crushing crossbow and threw it far away to avoid being damaged by the aftermath of the battle.

After all, that thing is quite expensive, and it still hurts to break it.

Gu Sheng held the axe handle in one hand and the axe body in the other hand, and nimbly put them together. With a light turn and a click, the bloodthirsty axe was assembled.

Holding the giant axe, Gu Sheng looked at the still confused hallucinogenic porcupine and smiled: "It's been a long time since I last fought in close combat. Today, I will use you to stretch my muscles!" (End of this chapter)
