Chapter 191: A Simple Level Task
Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin arrived together at the main peak’s Service Hall of the Dao Jian Sect. With Tian Wenjin’s assistance, Li Shiyin accepted her first sect mission using her identity token.
Upon leaving, she pressed her identity token close to her forehead and used her spiritual sense to view the details of the mission.
“Mission Name: Exorcising Demons at Great Cedar Ridge”
Mission Description: On the twelfth night of the winter month, a villager from Great Cedar Ridge reported that recently, the village has been overrun with cobwebs and many small white spiders appeared out of nowhere. On the morning of the eleventh, a villager named Zhao Xiping vanished into thin air; at noon, villagers Zhao Xishun and Zhao Xichang went out and did not return; in the evening, Zhao Xichang’s wife and daughter disappeared; on the twelfth, three more villagers went missing. It is speculated that a first-level demonic beast, the Rat-Catching Demon Spider, is preying on the villagers.
This is a level one mission, a relatively simple demon exorcism task. Despite nearly ten villagers having perished, the fact remains that it’s an uncomplicated level one mission.
The disciples at the Service Hall deduced from the villagers’ descriptions that the demonic beast responsible is a low-ranking, first-level Rat-Catching Demon Spider.
The demonic beast to be exterminated is a level one creature, hence the mission’s difficulty rating is also level one.
Regarding the difficulty rating of the Dao Jian Sect’s sect quests: since the sect land is located in the Hengduan Mountain Range, where there are many demonic beasts, and most of the quests are about catching and getting rid of demons, the sect quests are rated according to the level of the demonic beasts involved in the quests in order to make it easier.
A level one mission is that a level one demonic beast will be encountered in the mission; a level nine mission is that a level nine demonic beast will be encountered in the mission. And the other nature of the mission, also according to this mission itself difficulty to the relative conversion.
If there would be a quest released for the Extremity Devouring Demon Willow Disaster in front of them, it would be even a ninth level quest.
“A level one demonic beast that killed eight people?!” Li Shiyin read the mission description and was extremely shocked, “Then how many people will be killed by demonic beasts in the Hengduan Mountain Range every year?”
“I don’t know.” Tian Wenjin shook his head.
Li Shiyin thought of Li Shiwen s town guarding the Hengduan Mountain Range again, and she used to think that she could go into the mountains every day to hunt, and it would be very fun to …… not realize that it was such a heavy responsibility on the inside.
“But don’t underestimate first-class demonic beasts, after all, even the fierce beasts common to civilians, lions and tigers and the like, are not considered demonic beasts.”
Tian Wenjin said, “A level one demonic beast is already equivalent to a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.”
She glanced at Li Shiyin and continued, “And then even though a level one mission is only a level one demonic beast, the actual situation of the mission will be very complicated, and any unforeseen circumstances are possible.
“You should know that the sect only recommends disciples to take on quests whose quest level is lower than their cultivation level.”
“I know ……” Tian Wenjin this is afraid of being overly ambitious, Li Shiyin can hear it, she nodded and said, “I just think that I need to take more quests in the future and kill more demonic beasts. ”
“We’ll talk about that kind of thing later.” Tian Wenjin said.
The two of them read the quest carefully, and then went to look for the information of the Rat-Catching Demon Spider and the map information of the Great Cedar Ridge according to the quest, and prepared to perfect it before they sent their swords out of the sect and flew towards the Great Cedar Ridge.
Mousetrap Demon Spider, a grade one demonic beast, called this name because it generally fed on forest mice, yet it wasn’t a difficult demonic beast to deal with, especially for Li Shiyin, because the killer weapon of the Mousetrap Demon Spider was poison.
Poison? She, Li Shiyin, was the disciple of Alchemist Qin Ran, would she be afraid of poison? Besides, there was a snake demon in her family who specialized in playing with poison.
“Looks like this mission will be easy!” With her sword in the air, Li Shiyin looked very relaxed as she chatted with Tian Wenjin.
Tian Wenjin also felt that this task would be relatively simple …… otherwise she wouldn’t have purposely led this task for Li Shiyin to practice. However, she still reminded Li Shiyin, “Don’t take it lightly even if it’s simple.”
“Hey!” Li Shiyin laughed, “Wen Jin your current tone of voice is practically identical to my master’s, always putting, what steady ah, what cautious ah, don’t take it lightly and what not, hanging on the side of your mouth, a flavor of old age.”
Tian Wenjin sniffed and looked at Li Shiyin a few more times.
What kind of person knows to be steady and cautious?
Anyone who has taken a beating from the Immortal Cultivation World and survived knows that you have to be steady and cautious when hanging out in the Immortal Cultivation World.
What kind of person would look down on stability and caution?
People who haven’t taken a beating from the cultivation community yet.
Tian Wenjin looked at Li Shiyin s appearance and her eyes were full of envy. No girl …… no, no one wants to become mature if they can.
Isn’t it good to live in an ivory tower all your life without a care in the world? Do you have to be beaten by the Immortal Cultivation World and become mature?
Who wouldn’t want to be like Li Shiyin and have a master who spoiled her and loved her and guarded her desperately, holding out a piece of light for her in this dark Immortal Cultivation World?
“She’s so lucky.” Tian Wenjin thought, “If on the day of the Questioning Ceremony, I had also said that I wanted to refine pills and also worshipped under Senior Uncle …… would everything have been different?”
Unfortunately there are no ifs.
“It’s better to be cautious.” She eventually just murmured.
Big Fir Ridge is not far outside the Hengduan Mountain Range, not far from the Daojian Gate, but a few hours of sword travel, the location is very fortunate, not subject to the erosion of the Devouring Extreme Demon Willow Willow Floss.
Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin rode on their swords, and in a short while, they arrived outside the Great Cedar Ridge.
This is a small village located on the mountain, the mountain is not big, the village is not big either, from the head of the village to the end of the village, from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, almost thirty families.
Outside the village, at the foot of the mountain, there are a lot of tall fir trees, about a full circle …… around the small mountain should be the reason why the village is named Big Fir Ridge.
It was still snowing in the sky, the ground was a blanket of white, and the tall fir trees were white.
Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin each landed on the tip of a cedar tree and looked out into the village.
I don’t know if it’s because of the snowy day, but the village is very cold with no one walking around and no fireworks to be seen.
“Be careful.” Tian Wenjin felt something was wrong.
Li Shiyin fished out two Hundred Poison Pills, handing one to Tian Wenjin and taking one herself, she still looked optimistic: “Maybe they’re all roasting at home?”
“There’s no smoke.” Tian Wenjin looked at the elixir and ate it anyway.
“That’s ……” Li Shiyin thought about it and looked for a complementary reason, “Maybe it’s the influence of that incident with the pole devouring magic willow, the villagers didn’t stock up on firewood for the winter, and they all wrapped up in quilts to keep warm in their beds. ”
“Maybe!”
Tian Wenjin pulled out the Imperial Thunder Sword on his back, jumped down from the tree, and walked towards the inside of the village with vigilance.
Li Shiyin took out the Tilting Star Sword and held it in her hand, but the sword was not sheathed, she followed behind Tian Wenjin and also made a vigilant appearance.
The village was indeed clear and cold, not even the sound of barking dogs.
But the moment Li Shiyin and the girls stepped into the village, the door of the house closest to the village entrance was suddenly pushed open, and the sound that rose out of thin air in the silent environment screamed shock.
Li Shiyin frowned and looked over, a middle-aged man wrapped in a thick cotton coat came out of the door, his face was dark red and rough, no cultivation fluctuations on his body, about the appearance of an ordinary citizen.
He leaned against the door and looked at her and Tian Wenjin and asked out loud, “What do you do?”
Tian Wenjin clasped his sword and saluted, saying, “Disciples of the Dao Sword Sect, come to get rid of the demons.”
“Oh, Sect Goddess!” The hanyou nodded, then said with Tian Wenjin, “Come with me, I’ll take you to the village chief’s house.”
“Trouble!” Tian Wenjin said.
The man then led the way, following the village’s rocky path up the hill.
Tian Wen Jin didn’t say much and took Li Shiyin with her as she followed the man up the hill. However, the sword in her hand did not have no intention of retracting its scabbard, and she kept it in her hand.
