Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Zhao Lin came early, and there were not many people in the Hall of Good Merit, only a few monks stood in front of the notice, talking in low voices.

Hanchi County is the seat of the prefecture's Spiritual Dao Academy, which mainly focuses on preaching. Most of the monks in the county are responsible for performing tasks, such as spiritual planting, wine making, alchemy, etc., and they rarely have the time and energy to go out to perform tasks.

Dozens of missions were posted on each wall, which clearly stated the requirements for the person who received the mission's cultivation or Taoism, as well as the reward rules, and some missions also had time limits.

The colors of the notices are different, there are four colors: purple, white, gold, and blue.

"What do these colors represent?"

Zhao Lin was puzzled. Seeing a middle-aged steward in the hall, he walked over and bowed.

"Senior brother, I have something to ask."

The middle-aged steward looked over, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes, "My surname is Hu, just call me Brother Hu, is there anything wrong?"

Zhao Lin is a disciple of the Spiritual Dao Academy, and his cultivation is only at the third level of Qi Refining, so he is not qualified to receive the task.

"I see that the colors of these tasks are different. What's the difference?"

"Is this your first time here, kid?"

Manager Hu smiled and pointed to the notice on the wall: "Purple, white, gold, and blue are four colors, from high to low, representing the difficulty and danger level of the task."

"The cyan tasks are the lowest level, and they are all very simple tasks, such as running errands, or things that take time and effort."

"Basically anyone can do it, but correspondingly, there are not many rewards, only spirit stones, no good deeds."

"The golden mission is of moderate difficulty, requires certain skills or combat power, and is dangerous, but it will not endanger life."

"The rewarded spirit stones are usually more than 50 yuan, and some are also rewarded for good deeds."

"White missions are more difficult and dangerous. For example, refining a rare elixir, or searching for something in a dangerous place where strange beasts are rampant."

"If it fails, it's okay to say that the former will compensate for the loss at most, and the latter may die. Of course, the rewards of the mission are quite generous."

"Purple means extremely difficult or extremely dangerous tasks. I won't say more. Don't take such tasks without absolute strength."

Zhao Lin cupped his hands and thanked: "Thank you, Senior Brother Hu, for clarifying the confusion."

"Wait, I'm not finished yet."

Manager Hu smiled, "In addition to purple, white and gold, there is also a black mission."

"Black mission?"

"Yes, but black missions are generally not posted publicly. These missions are more difficult than purple grades, and they are only allowed to succeed, not to fail, and there is only one chance."

"The task of the black level is not something you can get if you want it. It must be verified by multiple tasks. Talents with a good reputation are eligible to take it."

"It turned out to be like this, I really learned a lot!"

Zhao Lin thanked them earnestly, then walked to the notice and looked at it one by one.

I quickly browsed through all the notices, but unfortunately did not find a satisfactory task.

Zhao Lin didn't want to risk his life to do white or purple tasks when he received the task for the first time.

There are not many golden missions, and they either require skills such as alchemy, refining, formation, or the area is too far away from Nanhezhou, and it will take seven or eight days to rush there.

As for the lowest-level cyan task, since I am a disciple of Lingdao Academy, it is not worth it to go all the way to run errands for others.

Doesn't such a big sect have a task suitable for him?

Zhao Lin frowned slightly.

"Why, didn't you find the right one?"

Manager Hu has been watching from the side, and came over to ask when he saw this.

"Not really."

Zhao Lin answered truthfully.

Manager Hu smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, the sect has a lot of missions, which can't be posted here, so only the newly released missions in recent months are posted."

"If you are interested, you can come to me to check all the tasks."

Zhao Lin's heart moved, and he probably understood what the other party meant, and asked, "How much is the fee for checking the mission?"

Seeing Zhao Lin being so upbeat, Hu Guanshi happily stretched out a finger, "All I need is a spirit stone."

The fee is not low, but Zhao Lin made up his mind to receive a task, and said, "Okay." He was about to take out the spirit stone.

"Let's not be busy."

Manager Hu stretched out his hand and pressed it falsely, "I have a question to clarify first. Should the younger brother accept the task by himself, or choose for others?"

Zhao Lindao: "I will accept the task myself."

Manager Hu glanced at the robe on Zhao Lin's body, and shook his head lightly, "Junior Brother is a disciple of the Spiritual Dao Academy, and according to the rules, he is not allowed to leave the county at will before the middle stage of Qi refining."

"What will you do if you accept the task?"

Zhao Lin understood that the other party was worried that he would accept the task but not do it, so he explained: "Senior brother Hu doesn't know something. My younger brother is a martial artist. Although his cultivation is at the third level of Qi refining, his fighting skills are not inferior to disciples in the middle stage of Qi refining."

"If I accept the task, I will explain to the elder Taoist."

Guanshi Hu clapped his palms together, and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a martial artist in the Lingdao Academy, so it's you, that's good."

While talking, he took out a jade slip from his cuff.

Zhao Lin also took out a spirit stone from the lock bag, took the jade slip, and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and saw that there were hundreds of tasks recorded in it.

The scanning speed of his spiritual consciousness was far faster than that of the naked eye. Zhao Lin scanned it ten times at a glance, and when he saw half of it, he suddenly stopped.

It wasn't that he found a suitable task, but he was surprised to find that the task of killing the body repair that the elder Chuangong said last time was also on the list, and it was still in an unfinished state.

"Sure enough, this task is not easy to do."

Zhao Lin was glad that he was not dazzled by the good deeds at the time. The last time he performed the dharma meeting, he had a very hard time fighting against the physical training of the fourth level of body tempering.

Skip this task and continue scanning.

Soon, a task came into Zhao Lin's sight.

Task: Enter the Yinfeng Realm to pick the Yinfeng Grass and Star Peony Grass.

Task level: white intermediate.

Task details: Yinfeng Realm is a low-level uninhabited small world, where many Yin spirit grasses grow, and there are some middle-grade monsters and ghosts that naturally breed in it. The degree of danger is not high.

Reward: One Yinfeng grass can be exchanged for ten spirit stones, one star peony grass can be exchanged for ten spirit stones, plus five good deeds.

Requirements for the task: A monk in the Qi-refining realm, whose cultivation base is above the mid-stage of Qi-refinement, has mastered at least one minor-level attack spell, with priority given to thunder and fire, and at the same time, the Qi-watching technique is above the proficiency level.

One of the reasons why Zhao Lin took a fancy to this task was that the Yinfeng Realm was located in Xiniu State, not far from Nanhe State, so it was convenient to come and go, and it did not affect his cultivation.

Again, it's a small world.

Zhao Lin is very curious about the small world, and wants to see what other small worlds are like besides the Hanchi Realm where he originally lived, and what the laws of the world are like.

Finally, the difficulty of this task is not high, and the reward is OK.

If you can find star peony grass, there will be rewards for good deeds.

Moreover, this is an open mission with no time limit, and monks are called all year round, so there is no need to worry about the situation of the mission after arriving.

That's it! (end of this chapter)
