Chapter 495: Is It Still Possible to Go and Kill Demon Beasts Now?
Chapter 495: Is It Still Possible to Go and Kill Demon Beasts Now?
As for safety, Lu Chen wasn't overly concerned.
The Heavenly Abyss Treasure Fair was jointly organized by Wanbao Building and several major forces in the cultivation world, all of which had good reputations. Safety would undoubtedly be a top priority.
Moreover, Lu Chen's own cultivation had reached the late Qi Refining stage, and he possessed various high-grade spiritual tools and treasures for protection. Even if he encountered a Core Formation cultivator, he was confident in his ability to escape.
With so many treasures at his disposal, he didn't need to be as cautious as before.
"If all else fails, I can also invite a few senior brothers with true transmissions to join me."
Lu Chen thought to himself as he turned to the short and stout elder.
"I would like to trouble Fellow Daoist Li to give me an invitation to the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Fair. I should be able to attend at that time."
"It's no trouble at all. Please accept this, Fellow Daoist," the short and stout elder said warmly, handing Lu Chen a gilded invitation with intricate talismans engraved on it.
"There is a small array on the invitation. When the time comes, it will react and guide you to the venue of the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Fair. You can activate it with your spiritual power, and a map will appear," he explained to Lu Chen in detail.
Lu Chen nodded. Although he hadn't obtained what he wanted from the Wanbao Building this time, learning about the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Fair was still a worthwhile gain.
He left Jianmen Town and returned to his sect.
"How can I obtain a large amount of high-grade demon beast flesh and blood?"
This question lingered in Lu Chen's mind.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him.
"That's it! If I can't obtain it directly, I'll take an indirect approach."
"I can set up a related task in the Office of Miscellaneous Affairs. Anyway, I have plenty of rewards from the light sphere, and this is a good opportunity to use some of them."
"With such a large sect as Tianjian, there are hundreds or even thousands of Qi Refining cultivators that can be of use to me."
"When exploring secret realms, encountering high-grade demon beasts is a common occurrence. After defeating them, only the most valuable parts of their remains are kept, while the rest of the flesh and blood are usually sold at low prices."
"I can set up a task in the Office of Miscellaneous Affairs and commission them to hunt and gather high-grade demon beast flesh and blood for me."
The more Lu Chen thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Without delay, he headed to the Office of Miscellaneous Affairs.
In the main hall, a large wall displayed a constant stream of task messages, each one more captivating than the last.
After the turmoil in the cultivation world, the number of tasks in the Office of Miscellaneous Affairs had increased significantly.
Lu Chen made his way through the crowd and entered the inner hall, where he found an attendant.
"Fellow junior, I would like to commission a task," he said to the attendant, who was at the early Qi Refining stage.
"It's Senior Brother Lu! Senior Brother, your legendary task of sweeping through the spirit plants is still talked about in the Office of Miscellaneous Affairs.
Please go ahead and describe the task details, requirements, and rewards."
The attendant's eyes lit up at the sight of Lu Chen.
"The task is to hunt and collect high-grade demon beast flesh and blood, specifically from fourth-grade demon beasts. You can choose a specific part of the demon beast remains to keep for yourself," Lu Chen explained.
"As for the reward, it's simple. One fourth-grade demon beast carcass can be exchanged for a unique sword-nourishing gourd from our sect.
Three fourth-grade demon beast carcasses can be exchanged for a fourth-grade pill, the Detaching Dust Pill. I will make the final determination and can adjust the reward accordingly based on the quantity and quality of the flesh and blood."
Lu Chen spoke slowly and clearly.
"Detaching Dust Pill?"
The attendant, who was recording the task information, paused and looked up, his expression filled with surprise.
"Brother Lu, is it still possible for me to go and kill demon beasts now?" The attendant asked half-jokingly, tempted by the incredibly attractive rewards Lu Chen was offering.
The three-grade sword-nourishing gourd was a rare treasure within the sect. Although it was a spiritual plant, it contained extremely powerful sword qi, no less than that of many three-grade magical artifacts. As for the four-grade Detaching Dust Pill, it was even more precious and sought-after.
Pills and treasures capable of purging and purifying the aura of evil spirits were exceedingly rare and valuable, especially in the current cultivation world plagued by outbreaks of evil spirits. They were like phoenix feathers and qilin horns—extremely hard to come by.
The attendant couldn't help but feel a strong impulse to resign from his position in the Office of Miscellaneous Affairs and devote himself to hunting demons.
Lu Chen chuckled lightly, unperturbed by the attendant's reaction. After paying a small fee for posting the task, he quietly left.
Detailed information about the task slowly appeared on the large light screen in the hall, catching the attention of several sharp-eyed fellow sect members.
"A task to hunt fourth-grade demon beasts? The difficulty is so high that I doubt anyone will take it."
"This task requirement is too strange. They don't want the most essential part of the fourth-grade demon beast but only need the flesh and blood?"
"The reward is a third-grade sword-nourishing gourd, which is quite good."
"Wait, fourth-grade Detaching Dust Pill? Did I read that right?!?"
Several cultivators exclaimed in surprise.
This type of pill was always in short supply in the cultivation world, and with the current situation, it was even harder to come by. They never expected to see it offered as a reward for such a mundane task.
More and more cultivators became intrigued by this task and started discussing it.
"The reward for this task is really generous!"
"It's generous, but you also have to be able to complete it! I doubt anyone here has the confidence to easily take down a fourth-grade demon beast."
"Who hasn't slain a fourth-grade demon beast while exploring secret realms? With just five corpses of fourth-grade demon beasts minus the essential parts, we can get a fourth-grade Detaching Dust Pill! This is a rare opportunity!"
Although there was a grade difference between the sword-nourishing gourd and the demon beast flesh and blood in the task conditions, one could serve as a magical artifact, while the other was merely a cultivation resource.
Moreover, the most valuable parts of a demon beast were often the essence and blood, sometimes accounting for more than half of its total worth. The fact that the task allowed cultivators to keep the most precious parts of the demon beast made the rewards even more attractive.
Standing in the corner, Lu Chen observed the reactions of the crowd with satisfaction.
Both the sword-nourishing gourd and the Detaching Dust Pill had come from the light sphere, and if he could obtain enough fourth-grade demon beast flesh and blood, it would be well worth it for cultivating the Blood Sin Flower and Flesh Spirit Grass to their full potential.
"Are there any fellow sect members heading to the Black Demon Abyss? There are already three early-stage Core Formation cultivators, each with their own strengths, who can join forces to hunt fourth-grade demon beasts."
"I'm a sword cultivator with experience in single-handedly killing fourth-grade demon beasts. I need a fellow sect member skilled in healing techniques, preferably a female cultivator. If you meet the requirements, come quickly!"
"Hey, what if we just go to the market and buy three corpses of fourth-grade demon beasts? Wouldn't that be easier?"
"You're opening up a whole new way of thinking, junior brother!"
Lu Chen, who had been keeping an eye on the commotion, smiled lightly. To prevent anyone from exploiting a loophole, he had intentionally left some room for adjustment.
If the amount of fourth-grade demon beast flesh and blood turned out to be insufficient, he could adjust the task rewards accordingly.
He held all the power of interpretation.
