The spirit boat summoned by Gu Li is no different in appearance from an ordinary boat walking on water.
It is about three feet long and one foot wide. It is silver-gray in color, with complex black lines engraved on the bottom. There are rows of long mahogany seats on each side of the ship.
The walkway in the middle is paved with an unknown red material, and the feel when you step on it is somewhat similar to the plastic runway in Liu Mang's previous life.
The spirit boat suddenly stopped two feet above the ground, and Gu Li and Liu Mang jumped on it gently.
Gu Li bowed to a man in dark blue robes at the bow of the boat and saluted: "Senior brother."
Liu Mang was dressed as a tool man as always, with a dull expression and motionless.
The man nodded to Gu Li and reminded them: "Sit firmly on the spirit boat and don't move around. Don't use spells, otherwise it may cause the spirit boat to become unbalanced. Remember this."
After saying that, he touched a wheel with black crystal on the bow of the ship with both hands. His spiritual power poured into it and he began to control the spirit boat to rise slowly.
A layer of hemispherical transparent blue protective layer suddenly appeared on all sides of the spirit boat, gradually accelerating.
After seven or eight breaths, the spirit boat approached the huge immortal peak Wanxiang Peak that was hanging upside down and suspended in the air.
After passing through a layer of rich purple halo, it stopped on the vast ground.
Looking around, there are green, red, yellow, and blue coral-like plants, unusually tall green trees, bright flowers in bloom, and spiritual birds flying everywhere...
In the center of these scenery, you can see many multi-story red buildings with flying eaves shrouded in colorful halo, each of which is extremely majestic.
Gu Li summoned two Mohu spiritual horses, led Liu Mang, and quickly approached one of the buildings.
As you get closer, you can see a glass plaque hanging on a high-rise building with several large luminous characters on it: Mission Hall.
From time to time, disciples wearing light blue and dark blue robes come in and out, and occasionally you can see an old man wearing an orange-red robe with a strong aura.
Entering the mission hall, you can see an extremely spacious and quaint hall, which is divided into two areas.
In the area on the left, there is an old man in blue robe sitting in front of the counter registering. Behind the counter is a huge black and white light screen with text scrolling on it.
A large area on the right is filled with hundreds of thousands of jade tablets of various colors about one foot long floating in mid-air, swimming around slowly and irregularly.
Liu Mang and his two men walked to the right first.
The colors of the jade cards include light blue, dark blue, orange-red, etc., which correspond to the cultivation level of the disciple who can take on the task, which are the Qi training stage, the foundation building stage, and the golden elixir stage.
There is also a gray jade plaque, which does not limit cultivation level.
The jade plate is engraved with clear black text, describing the specific content of the task:
"Elder Liu of Xianglu Peak recruits two alchemy boys. They are required to be excellent in fire spells, have Qi training at or above the sixth level, be able to endure hardships, and be patient. The period will last for three months. Each person will receive five points of contribution afterwards."
"Elder Wang of Jade Cauldron Peak has been recruiting five foundry apprentices for a long time. They are required to practice Qi above the eighth level and be able to stably maintain spiritual power output. Each person can get two points of contribution per month."
"The sect needs to recruit ten small spirit boat pilots. The term should be no less than half a year and they should work six hours a day. It is required to be above the initial stage of foundation building. Each person can get five points of contribution per month. Those who were rated as outstanding last year will be given priority.
.”
"Tianjing Peak recruits jailors for a period of three years. They are not allowed to leave midway. They are required to be in the advanced stage of foundation building. They can get ten contribution points every month, as well as pills to improve their cultivation. After the end, they will also get a hundred contribution points reward."
"My spirit dog is sick, with black spots all over its body, red eyes, and sometimes going crazy. I am now looking for a good doctor. If the treatment is successful, you will get at least ten points of contribution, and the price is negotiable - Song Yan"
"I'm looking for a strong swordsman to spar with me. It requires foundation building or above, and I need to contribute secondary knots, one point at a time. Note: Sword fighting is extremely dangerous, and the injured person is responsible for it. - Kuang Le"
The content of the mission jade plaque was an eye-opener for Liu Mang and Gu Li.
Gu Li waved, and a light blue jade plaque flew into her hand.
But before she could take a closer look, the jade plaque shone brightly, and then it broke free from her hand like a slippery fish and flew back into the air.
Gu Li's face showed surprise.
At this time, a monk next to him saw it and reminded him: "You haven't completed the newcomer tasks prescribed by the sect. Before that, you can't take on other tasks."
Gu Li expressed her gratitude to this person, and then went to the long table area on the left with Liu Mang.
"Hello, uncle, I'm here to pick up the newcomer's mission." Gu Li said respectfully to an old man in dark blue robes.
The old man has gray hair, many wrinkles on his face, and his eyes are dim and dull. He looks like a mortal in his seventies or eighties, almost as old as a dying man.
The old man glanced at Gu Li indifferently: "Disciple token."
After getting Gu Li's disciple token, the old man said: "There are currently three suitable tasks for newcomers. See which one you choose."
In order to prevent newcomers from connecting with each other, it is difficult to play a sharpening role.
The tasks for each newcomer are provided on the spot for them to choose randomly.
Through the old man's introduction, Liu Mang and Gu Li learned that the three tasks were:
Go to Feng, a small country tens of thousands of miles away, to eliminate demons;
Help Deacon Yun of Xianglu Peak until he successfully refines the Foundation Establishment Pill;
Several acres of land were cultivated and planted with second-grade blood-tooth rice, and more than 500 kilograms of second-grade spiritual rice were harvested.
All three tasks last for one year.
Gu Li and Liu Mang looked at each other and said, "Uncle, please forgive me and let us discuss it."
"Yes." The old man replied without emotion.
Gu Li and Liu Mang walked aside and began to communicate silently with their spiritual senses.
"Which mission does Mr. Liu think I should choose?"
"Feng Guo is too far away, and the initiative to help people make alchemy is not in my hands. It is more suitable to be responsible for farming and collecting spiritual rice." Liu Mang thought for a while, and suggested directly without being polite.
Gu Li also happily agreed: "We both see the same thing."
So, she chose the task of farming.
"There is only the last field left of Bloody Tooth Rice, numbered Ding Qisi. In addition, once the task is selected, it cannot be changed, otherwise it will fail the end-of-year assessment."
The old deacon of the mission hall quickly registered the mission for Gu Li.
Not long after Gu Li and the others left.
A middle-aged man, also wearing a dark blue robe, ran over menacingly.
He looked ugly and growled at the old deacon: "Deacon Huang, are you crazy? You actually sent that bloody tooth field to Bing Yun's sister! Do you know what you are doing?"
The old Butler Huang replied feebly: "What does she choose have to do with me?"
"Hmph! Don't treat others as fools! There are so many sect tasks, and you have arranged two that are obviously difficult to do. Naturally, the other party can only choose the last one." The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said coldly,
"The battle for the true story is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces.
Even though Liehuo Zhenren has the upper hand now, until the last moment, the outcome is hard to say.
You are so old, why are you involved? Don't you want to go through the last part smoothly? I have known you for many years, and I don't want to be so tired that I have to collect your body in the end!"
Deacon Huang said dryly: "I strictly follow the sect's laws, but I don't bend the law for personal gain at all. Don't think of labeling me."
Seeing that he couldn't explain it to the other party at all, the middle-aged man angrily walked away.
Behind him, the old-looking Butler Huang raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the back of the middle-aged man.
He sighed in his heart: "It's just because I'm older that I want to give it a try. I also want to get the Life Extension Pill and live another ten or twenty years."
The other end.
Gu Li and Liu Mang came to this blessed land, a remote area on the ground with a large spiritual field, which was estimated to be hundreds of miles away from Gu Li's residence.
There are many types of spiritual fields, and the spiritual plants planted are all different.
There are psychic grasses that can increase spiritual power, crystal rice that can help condense spiritual consciousness, and baby dolls that can resist aging.
The blood tooth rice that Gu Li wants to plant can enhance the monk's energy and blood.
Not only warriors need qi and blood, qi and blood are also very important to monks. Abundant qi and blood can make monks more energetic and energetic, making cultivation more effective with half the effort.
But when Deacon Yuan, who manages all the spiritual fields, heard that Gu Li had chosen Ding Qisi's spiritual fields, his expression changed.
"Are you sure you want to plant this spiritual field?"
"Yes, uncle, I have determined the mission. Is there anything wrong?" Gu Li also felt an unpleasant feeling in her heart.
"Hey, you'll know after you go and take a look. Forget it, let me accompany you. That place is still a bit dangerous for you and others."
Deacon Yuan led Liu Mang and Gu Li around and around until they came to an area at the edge of the vast spiritual field.
Even this area cannot be counted within the scope of the spiritual fields. It is separated from most other spiritual fields by a wide river, so you need to fly over.
This spiritual field is very large, estimated to be over a thousand acres. To describe it as just a few acres is definitely an injustice.
There are green plants that are taller than a person. The main trunks are covered with hook-shaped thorns, the leaves are palm-shaped, and there are fruits similar to corn on the top of the plants.
On the corn, there are blood-colored rice grains that resemble teeth.
But Liu Mang and his two men soon discovered something was wrong.
Looking around, you can see that most of the blood-toothed rice fruits are full of pits, as if they were eaten by something.
Only a few can be preserved intact, and many have even been chewed up.
'Crack! Crack!'
A strange silver bee beast the size of a date was nibbling on a plant closest to Liu Mang and the others.
The bee beast is covered in silver, as if made of pure metal, and has three blood-red eyes the size of sesame seeds on its head.
When you open your mouth, you can see the dense collection of sharp and tiny teeth inside.
"Don't underestimate it. This is the nine-eyed immortal bee, an ancient alien species. If it can be promoted to the legendary extreme nine-eyed state, it can even kill the true king." Deacon Yuan sighed, "Although this one only has three
He has only one eye, but he also has a third-level cultivation level. Even if I want to deal with one, it will not be easy."
After saying that, Deacon Yuan waved his hand, and with the surge of spiritual power, a green arrow of light appeared in front of him, shooting straight at the nine-eyed immortal bee that was eating!
Snapped!
This immortal bee with only three eyes was hit by a light arrow and fell to the ground violently, but soon flew up unsteadily again.
Deacon Yuan continued to fire light arrows at the three-eyed bee.
After being fired for the thirtieth time, the undead bee finally exploded with a 'bang' and turned into a silver liquid.
At this time, Deacon Yuan's complexion was already slightly pale.
"You see, this Blood Fang Rice Field has been invaded by Nine-Eyed Immortal Bees. Why they are called Immortal Bees is naturally because of their strong defense, which was famous even in ancient times.
It would take me a lot of effort to kill any person with three eyes, let alone those with three eyes and above. And the number of them..."
Deacon Yuan waved his sleeves, and a large green halo rolled towards the surrounding plants. Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound of silver, spreading everywhere in the air.
At a glance, there are probably tens of thousands of them, and there are even quite a few at the four-eyed level.
"Fortunately, this kind of bee beast has a good temper. It doesn't help each other and won't start a group fight. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come." Deacon Yuan said with a bitter smile.
"Why doesn't the sect send real people to take care of them?" Gu Li wondered.
"Because, this kind of bee beast can't be killed at all." Deacon Yuan looked at the ground, "There is also a terrifying seven-eyed queen down here, which has been breeding continuously and tirelessly."
"Then why not eliminate the source?" Gu Li was puzzled.
"Hey." Deacon Yuan looked at the sky with a wry smile and pointed at Shengxian Peak, "It is the spiritual beast of a certain Supreme Elder. That Supreme Elder has been in seclusion for thirty years. No one knows what he is.
When it’s time to come out, can you come out?”
"Those with a high level of cultivation are not willing to contaminate the cause and effect and offend the supreme elder, and those with a low level of cultivation can't deal with this spiritual field. Therefore, the mission hall simply designated it as a newcomer's mission, and it is equivalent to seeing it out of sight.
Give up this field."
"But under normal circumstances, this task would not be assigned. I didn't expect that it was assigned to you. Did you offend someone in the sect?" Deacon Yuan's expression changed as he spoke.
He seemed to have thought of something and didn't dare to say anything more.
When Gu Li heard this, her heart skipped a beat, she bit her lips and couldn't help but look at Liu Mang next to her.
However, he found that the corners of the other party's mouth were slightly raised at this time, and he looked very happy.
