Watching Yang Mei leave, Zhou Shu sighed slightly and looked back at the bulletin board.

But after reading it again, I found that there were very few tasks that were suitable for me. It would have been nice if I had received the kind of tasks that Yan Yue had received before, but it was a pity that there were none.

Time gradually passed, and Zhou Shu still couldn't find a suitable task.

But he found that there were more and more disciples in front of the bulletin board, and strangely, they did not look at the tasks, but looked up at the sky, which puzzled Zhou Shu.

He also raised his head.

"I'm coming!"

The disciples became commotion.

In the sky, a cultivator in a blue shirt slowly flew over and hovered above the bulletin board.

He raised his hand, and a large task jade board floated down like snowflakes and landed neatly on the bulletin board.

Zhou Shu understood immediately. It turned out that these disciples were waiting for the release of new tasks. No wonder, good tasks were basically picked up as soon as they were released. How could it be his turn to come to them?

It was his first time here, so he naturally didn't understand the rules, but he was lucky enough to wait for the announcement of a new mission.

The crowd gathered and crowded towards the bulletin board, but Zhou Shu was the first to get there, glanced at it casually, and quickly took off a task board.

As soon as he took it off, he turned around and saw several disciples glaring at him, including an inner disciple.

"Little brother, to be honest, this task is not something you can do at all. Leave it to me. I'll give you two medium-grade spiritual stones as reward. How about it?"

"Boy, do you want to die? How dare you take on such a task? I'll be kind and help you do it. Just give it to me!"

"Looking at the pitiful look on your face, you must be suffering from a cold. You have to do some tasks. Go back and rest quickly. As for the tasks, leave them to me. I am doing this for your own good."

Zhou Shu smiled lightly and said, "Brothers, I've borrowed it from you."

He turned around and went to the miscellaneous hall next to him.

Those few people looked at Zhou Shu rather resentfully and lamented, alas, it was too late to start again.

The steward of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall took the jade plate with a look of suspicion on his face, "Junior Brother, are you sure you want to take on this secret exploration mission?"

Zhou Shu nodded calmly, "Yes, senior brother."

The steward nodded, "Okay, tell me your name and so on."

"Shaofengyuan, Zhou Shu, fifth level of Qi Refining Realm." Zhou Shu said calmly.

"At the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, I don't know if you are brave enough to take on such a task. Take it. The basic information is recorded in this jade slip."

The steward took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhou Shu, "Once the task is accepted, it cannot be returned. There will be rewards for success, and a certain amount of contribution will be deducted for failure. Do you know the rules?"

Zhou Shu nodded, "Disciple understands."

If you accept a task indiscriminately and cause the task to fail, you will naturally be punished.

"Then go ahead and wish you good luck." The steward waved his hand and said no more.

Zhou Shu put away the jade slips, bowed slightly, and quickly returned to his residence.

The mission he took was a secret exploration mission. There are always many benefits to such missions. He was a little excited. But when he opened the jade slip and took a closer look, the excitement immediately dissipated a lot.

A disciple discovered a long and narrow valley in the Qingyuan Mountains. The entrance was less than one foot, but there were bursts of evil energy from time to time. It was suspected that there were monsters like mountain ghost spiders inside, waiting for the disciple to explore.

Evil spirits come from evil beasts, but only a few monster beasts carry evil spirits. Those monster beasts with evil spirits are called evil beasts.

Evil beasts are usually extremely cruel and bloodthirsty, and after death, their corpses will remain immortal for hundreds of years. Instead, they will transform into various corpse beasts. Their evil aura will become stronger and stronger than when they were alive.

When most cultivators encounter evil monsters, they either avoid them or throw away their ashes. If such monsters appear in the area around the Heyin Sect, they must be killed quickly.

Since there is evil energy in that valley, there are probably such evil beasts in it. If the evil energy is strong, there will probably be zombie beasts that have transformed into corpses. Regardless of the level, they cannot be easily solved by Qi Refining Realm disciples.

.

It seems that he can't start too quickly. Zhou Shu shook his head. The difficulty of this task exceeded his expectation and it was not that easy to do.

Fortunately, the jade slip said at the end, "If you discover all the information in the valley, you will be rewarded with 3,000 contribution points. If you completely eliminate the Evil Beast or even the Corpse Monster, you will be rewarded with 5,000 to 7,000 contribution points depending on the specific situation."

It seemed that all he needed to do was find out clearly. Zhou Shu nodded secretly.

It was the first time he was doing this kind of mission alone. He made careful preparations and brought everything he could, including a lot of talismans. Xiao Gun, who had been in a daze for a long time, was also placed in his spirit beast bag.

The spirit beast bag is a space bag specially designed to hold spirit beasts. It is similar to a storage bag, but can be used to place living objects. Zhou Shu spent two hundred middle-grade spirit stones to buy it. This is the most common kind, but Xiao Gun is not that picky.

guy.

"Xiao Gun, I haven't performed well for a long time. I'm counting on you this time."

Xiao Gun looked at him with contempt and huddled up holding the spirit stone.

The location of the mission was on the edge of the demon hunting area, not too far away from the Heyin Sect. However, Zhou Shu walked for two days and only walked halfway. For no other reason than the road was too difficult to walk.

The complex terrain is really speechless. We have just passed through a desert, and in front of us are snowy mountains covered with snow all year round. After passing by, there is a dense forest stretching to the left and right. It is really uncomfortable not to fly.

Not to mention the continuous monsters. At this time, a nearly five-foot-tall steel-framed jackal stood in front of Zhou Shu. He looked at it with a grin on his face, and yellow putrid saliva flowed out from between his teeth.

Big drops fell down.

Zhou Shu frowned slightly and held the Zhuyun Sword in his hand. Without even looking at it, he handed it out with a "Sudden Rain Hitting Green Lotus" style.

The Sudden Rain Strikes the Green Lotus is the penultimate form of the Urgent Rain Sword Technique, and it is also the most powerful one. Zhou Shu puts the most thought into it, thinking about it and using it all the time.

Because according to his deduction, it is most likely to understand the meaning of the sword from the sudden rain hitting Qinghe.

The sword light shot out like rain, and in an instant, there were hundreds of holes in the steel jackal's body. It was completely penetrated by the Cloud Chaser Sword, leaving him with no chance to escape.

The sword light flashed out again, and the steel jackal's head split open, revealing a gray-yellow demon pill.

Zhou Shu picked it up casually, put it in his bag, and then put away the Cloud-Chasing Sword with satisfaction.

It feels really good to use the sword art at will without any hindrance. He hasn't felt this way for a long time since his Qi vein burst. With the second sea of ​​qi, he can use the sword art at will, which has always made him satisfied.

Zhou Shu was also very satisfied with the second-level middle-grade Zhuyun Sword. Although it did not come with any magic formula, it was very easy to use and it also met the requirements of the Rapid Rain Sword Technique.

In fact, most sword cultivators' flying swords do not come with magic formulas, which is very different from other magic weapons - if a magic weapon does not come with its own magic formulas, is it still called a magic weapon?

But most flying swords do not carry magic formulas. The reason is very simple. Sword cultivation pays special attention to single-mindedness, and sword tactics are the only ones. The sword serves the sword tactics and sword intention. If magic tricks are included, it will affect the purity of the sword tactics and sword intention.

, it is not good for practicing swordsmanship.

However, some auxiliary spells and passive spells are excluded, such as the Lingyun Sword given to Yan Yue, which is also of certain benefit to sword cultivators. However, higher-level sword cultivators do not even need these auxiliary spells, and only use them to their full potential.

The essence of the sword brings purity to the extreme.

Zhou Shu was about to continue moving forward when his eyes suddenly fell on the dense forest not far away, and he suddenly became excited, "Double-winged monkey, there is such a monster?"
