Chapter 661 The deep meaning of the mission, the stone of confusion

After glancing slightly and looking away, Liu Yu was calm and calm, and the magic technique in his hand did not stop for a moment.

As a professional alchemist, he doesn't like to be disturbed when refining alchemy and only focuses on one thing.

As time goes by, the light green flame in the fire door gradually decreases, and the firelight gradually becomes fainter.

The medicinal fragrance that filled the room became stronger.

"about there."

Liu Yu flashed this idea.

The powerful spiritual consciousness always pays attention to the situation in the alchemy cauldron.

The step of condensing the elixir has been completed. Based on many years of experience in elixir refining, he judged that the time has come to open the furnace.

"rise!"

Following Liu Yu's soft drink, the spell in his hand changed, and the Qingdan Cauldron's lid immediately rose.

"Clang"

After a slight roar, several round pills appeared.

"Um?"

But at this moment, Liu Yu frowned.

Just because the original medicinal fragrance in the room quickly became weak, and instead filled with a burning smell, as if something was burned.

During his spiritual observation, he saw that the seven pills in the Qingdan Cauldron had turned completely black.

This alchemy attempt obviously failed.

"Failed again."

"Although the grade is only the third-grade mid-grade, because there are many spiritual herbs that need to be used and the medicinal properties are more complex, the difficulty of refining the soul-condensing pill is already comparable to some third-grade top-grade pills."

Admitting his failure, Liu Yu showed no expression on his face and felt uneasy in his heart. He cleaned the Qingdan Cauldron and put it into the storage ring.

He is already a master of alchemy, and with his current alchemy attainments, he can still maintain a high success rate when refining third-level mid-grade elixirs and below.

Once you reach the third level of mid-level, your success rate will plummet, and you need to gradually improve your alchemy skills to maintain a high success rate.

For example, in refining the soul-condensing pill, it has failed many times.

"Fortunately, with the support of the Immortal Mansion, the price of my failure is much lower than that of ordinary monks."

"After this failure, we can sum up our experience and try again next time."

"In terms of alchemy, even if you compare it with the true teachings of the big powers, you have far more chances of failure."

After cleaning up the alchemy site, Liu Yu thought silently.

Generally speaking, his talent in alchemy is not very good. His ability to become an "alchemy master" depends entirely on the accumulation of countless experiences.

Having experienced failures like this countless times, I no longer worry about gains and losses.

But he will not slack off because of this, and his attitude towards alchemy is as rigorous as before.

Thinking like this, Liu Yu made a thought and took out the palm-sized message jade token from the storage ring, and penetrated it with his spiritual sense to read the message.

"We are specially ordered to reach Jiangzhou in the ancient city of monks of this alliance on April 9th, Daqian One Hundred and Two Thousand Three Hundred and One Years."

In just a moment, his consciousness read the incoming message.

This mission was for Liu Yu to secretly intercept and kill several Qianting monks single-handedly.

Seize a fourth-level spiritual material called "The Stone of Confusion" and hand it over to the Commoner Alliance.

It was mentioned in the subpoena that the cultivation level of those monks will not exceed the realm of golden elixir, and if they take action within the specified time, no Nascent Soul stage monks will appear.

The mission specifically requires that the group of monks must kill more than half of them and bring the "Stone of Confusion" back to the Commoner League in order to complete the mission.

If one of the two requirements is not met, the mission will be considered a failure.

"Brother Qanting?"

"It's a bit difficult to handle."

Putting the jade token of communication into the storage ring, Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the futon and thought quietly, frowning slightly.

The first mission was to intercept and kill the Qianting monks. The Buyi Alliance's intention was very obvious.

It is to make the new monks who join the alliance completely have no way out and draw a clear line with Qian Ting and others.

After all, their own hands may have been stained with the blood of the Qianting monks, but the later monks were not.

I have no way out, and you still have a way out. How can we trust each other under such circumstances?

Not to mention leaving his back to his teammates.

Only when everyone leaves no room for retreat and completely draws a clear line with Qian Ting can they be considered true comrades and can be barely trusted.

Therefore, this mission can be regarded as a belated "letter of surrender" and an important test for the new blood of the Commoner League.

"My mission is like this, and other monks' first missions must be of the same type."

"Either intercepting or killing Qianting monks, or killing monks from other big forces, such as Holy Land, sects, aristocratic families, etc."

Liu Yu smiled slightly and quickly realized this.

However, he had already expected this, so he wasn't surprised at all.

After all, when no one has a way out, how can a monk who still has a way out be trusted by his colleagues?

"There are two keys to this mission."

"One is to kill as many Qanting monks as possible."

"The second is the fourth-level spiritual material "Stone of Confusion"."

Knocking his knuckles lightly on his thigh, Liu Yu thought about the key to this mission.

"With my current strength, I have few opponents in the Golden Core Realm, unless I encounter someone on the "Real Person List"."

"It shouldn't be difficult to kill most monks."

"The key is how to ensure that you can get the "Stone of Confusion"."

In his eyes as dark as ink,

Shining with the luster of reason,

He carefully analyzed the mission based on the summons from the Civilian League.

"In order to ensure that the "Stone of Confusion" is obtained, it is best not to retain any of the monks mentioned in the mission!"

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.

Although under normal circumstances, important spiritual materials are generally placed in the hands of the monks with the highest status and the strongest strength, there are exceptions to everything.

In order to ensure the safety of the spiritual materials, the target may come by surprise and put them in the hands of "little minions" and take them away without anyone noticing.

Therefore, from a foolproof perspective, all targets should be killed in the end.

In this way, as long as the information from the Buyi League is correct, the "Stone of Confusion" will definitely be obtained!

“Play it by ear.”

Making a decision not to stay, Liu Yu got up and walked towards the practice room.

Tasks are tasks, and daily practice cannot be left behind.

Only by steadily improving one's strength can one finally gain a firm foothold in today's undercurrents in the Central Territory.

After all, the reason why the Buyi League gave him all kinds of preferential treatment was because he was far beyond the same level of strength!

…

As the Zhoucheng of Jiangzhou, even if it is already late at night, the city is still bustling with activity.

Under the pitch-black night, lamps of various colors hung everywhere in the city illuminated the city as brightly as day, without any sense of darkness at all.

Looking from a distance, a brightly lit city that never sleeps is clearly displayed in front of all the monks.

People were coming and going on the streets, and even though it was already late at night, the sound of hawking could still be heard.

All kinds of monks came and went, each doing their own thing.

Some walked out of the crowd and entered the shops to buy magic weapons; they walked a little slowly, looking around from time to time to appreciate the prosperity of Jiangzhou City; some set up street stalls and shouted loudly, hoping that the goods would be sold out as soon as possible.

Of course, there are also mortals in the city, but most of them are engaged in menial jobs, and their rewards are mostly yellow and white things.

Either a coolie, an errand boy, or a slave!

Even for those who are cultivating immortals in the Qi refining stage, it is not a problem to stay awake for several days and nights, so it is not difficult to understand the bustling scene in Jiangzhou City at night.

For monks, there seems to be little difference between day or night?

However, Jiangzhou seems to be particularly lively tonight, and the "senior masters" in the Jindan realm appear much more frequently than usual.

Even the Nascent Soul Lord can occasionally catch a glimpse of him.

The reason for this is that the "Black Sky Auction House"'s once-in-ten large-scale auction will be held in Jiangzhou City tonight.

The strength of "Heitian Auction House" is one of the best in the entire Jiangzhou. Many rare magic weapons and spiritual objects will appear in the auction items of each large-scale auction.

Even extremely important strategic resources such as the Linking Pill Spiritual Object, the Three Treasures of the Infant Formation, and the high-level spiritual ship have a high probability of appearing.

Generally speaking, there will be one or several kinds as the finale.

Therefore, the large-scale auction held once every ten years by Black Sky Auction House has long been famous, and most monks in Jiangzhou will pay attention to it.

Some monks with strength and financial resources usually will not miss this opportunity and come all the way, hoping to take pictures of what they need.

At Yinshi, the auction held once every ten years had ended, and the monks who had arrived were leaving one after another.

In the eyes of most low-level monks in the city, either in awe or envy, colorful rays of light rose into the sky and disappeared into the vast night.

There are also some monks who are cautious and choose to leave Jiangzhou City directly on the teleportation array because they are carrying rare spiritual objects that were photographed.

Under the bright lights, one woman, four men, and five golden elixir monks walked quickly out of the Black Sky Auction House.

The leading woman was wearing a classic light green dress. There was a faint spiritual light shining on the skirt, and the spiritual patterns shimmered from time to time.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a high-end robe, definitely no less than some top-grade magic weapons.

This woman has fair skin, picturesque eyebrows, exquisitely exposed collarbones, long white hair tied up high, and makeup that is neither too thick nor too light.

The way he moves his hands and feet exudes a kind of nobility that has been in a high position for a long time, which is by no means comparable to that of ordinary monks.

His body was smeared with powder made from spiritual grass, leaving a sultry fragrance wherever he passed, which did not dissipate for a long time.

But the four golden elixir male cultivators following the female cultivator in the green skirt did not dare to show any signs of abnormality, and even their breathing maintained at a specific frequency.

The four of them were three steps behind the female cultivator in the green skirt, and they followed step by step, their eyes always scanning the surroundings, as if they were wary of something.

Judging from the brisk pace of the female cultivator, it can be seen that she is in a very good mood and should have gained a lot from the auction.

"Miss Wang, this is not the way to the Teleportation Hall."

Seeing that the female cultivator in green skirt did not follow the original plan and took the teleportation array directly back to the mansion, a male cultivator couldn't help but remind her.

When speaking, he lowered his head slightly and did not dare to look directly at the other person.

The dignified Jindan monk did not have the demeanor of Master Jindan at all. He looked more like a slave at this time.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Hearing this, the female cultivator in the green skirt, who was originally in a good mood, paused, stopped smiling, and turned back to calmly speak.

Although his tone was calm, his simple words, blessed by his identity, carried an inexplicable majesty.

As she spoke, she naturally exuded the authority of a superior, making this woman look calm and confident.

The four male cultivators, who were all Jindan cultivators, did not dare to refute at all.

"no no."

"Miss, I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"

Under the aggressive gaze of the female cultivator in green skirt, the male cultivator who spoke was immediately defeated and quickly bent down to admit his mistake.

The other three people also bent down and saluted.

"snort."

"I don't think you have the guts!"

"It's a rare trip. I don't want to go back so soon. I have made an appointment with the Jiang family's daughter-in-law to have a few drinks and enjoy the spirit flowers."

The female cultivator in the green skirt snorted coldly.

But she also understood that the guards were thinking about their own safety, so she still explained.

The "Jiang family" he refers to has an extraordinary origin.

The Jiang family is deeply rooted in Jiangzhou and has been inherited for 30,000 years. It is a famous family in the entire continent.

Moreover, this generation of "Jiangzhou Mu" is the ancestor of the Jiang family who has perfected his cultivation in Yuanying.

There are rumors that the ancestor of the Jiang family was deeply trusted by Emperor Daqian, so he was entrusted with the important task of serving as the "state pastor" who holds the power of a continent.

Even including the Qianting and the Holy Land, the number of forces with the presence of god-transformation monks in the Central Region will never exceed half a hundred.

Looking at the ninety-three continents currently controlled by the human race, on average, there is no god-forming force in two continents.

If all the forces in the Central Territory were divided based on strength alone, the Qianting and Holy Land with "Lingbao" would undoubtedly be in the first echelon.

The forces that possess the existence of the God-Transforming God-Monarch are in the second echelon.

The forces with the existence of great monks belong to the third echelon.

The ancestor of the Jiang family had perfected his cultivation in Yuanying, and was deeply trusted by Qian Ting to serve as the "Jiangzhou Shepherd". He was undoubtedly the top of the third echelon.

As for the forces that have one or more Nascent Soul monks, but the highest cultivation level does not exceed the middle Nascent Soul stage, they can only be in the fourth echelon.

The strength gap between the four echelons is very obvious and almost impossible to overcome.

Without the existence of True Lord Nascent Soul, a force can only be regarded as a minor force in the Central Territory, and its influence cannot spread throughout a continent, let alone affect other parts of the continent.

Such a force may one day be uprooted, and its establishment and destruction are nothing new.

After reprimanding the guards, the female cultivator in green skirt was very satisfied when she saw that the four of them did not dare to go against their own will and did not dare to show their anger.

Thinking about how to have fun while visiting friends this time, she unknowingly walked out of the city gate, turned into a white light and soared into the sky, flying towards the south of Jiangzhou City.

Upon seeing this, the four guards, all of whom were at least in the middle stage of the Golden Core, looked at each other, and they could see dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

But he could only follow closely behind and guard closely around the female cultivator.

The status of the female cultivator in the green skirt is sensitive, and she is not protected by the Nascent Soul Lord during this trip. If anything goes wrong, their lives will be at risk.

Therefore, the four of them didn't want to cause trouble, but they couldn't twist their thighs with their arms.

However, the five female cultivators in green skirts did not notice at all that a monk with a black hood covering most of his face was sitting at a window seat in a teahouse opposite the Black Sky Auction, and they could see this scene from the corner of their eyes.

"Snapped"

The spiritual consciousness silently locked onto the five female cultivators in green skirts. Liu Yu, who was dressed in black robes, put down the tea cup without any haste.

After paying the bill and leaving the teahouse, he used his magic power to rise into the sky and turned into a ray of cyan light, flying directly out of the city.

The target was suddenly the south where the female cultivator in blue skirt had left!
