Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

"Keep your voice down!"

Ling Xiao then realized that he had said something wrong and quickly shut up. But the shock in his eyes did not diminish at all, and he asked with his mouth.

"How could this be?"

Gu Sheng's face was gloomy. He expected that the Qinghe Holy Land would not let him go easily, but he did not expect that they would directly offer a public reward.

This means that all the disciples in the entire holy land may become hunters to kill him.

"Take the mission and leave first."

Gu Sheng quickly adjusted his mindset and searched for a suitable task on the task list.

Ling Xiao also calmed down and read the information on the light screen carefully.

"Collecting 100-year-old Fire Ganoderma, the deadline is three days, and the reward is 300 points. It's too easy and easy to be tracked. Escorting the caravan to Tianfeng City, the deadline is half a month, and the reward is 800 points. It takes too long."

Gu Sheng suddenly pointed to a less conspicuous entry.

"How about that?"

Ling Xiao looked in the direction he was looking.

"Kill thirty underground palace-level poison-winged elephants and take their tusks. The deadline is ten days, and the reward is 200 points. This task has a low score and is difficult. It has been unavailable for a few days and no one has taken it up."

"Just to my liking."

Gu Sheng's lips curled up slightly.

"The poison-winged elephants live in groups in the Black Mist Canyon. The terrain there is complex, which is just the right place to shake off the pursuers."

The two reached a consensus and immediately went to the task acceptance area to queue up.

Sitting behind the counter was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, lazily flipping through the jade slips.

When it was their turn, the man didn't even look up.

"Qinglong brand."

Gu Sheng handed over his identity jade card, and the man took it and casually swiped it across a black stone slab.

The slate glowed faintly, displaying Gu Sheng's basic information.

"Poison Wing Elephant Mission?"

The man finally raised his eyes and looked Gu Sheng up and down.

"Are you sure? That thing is not easy to deal with. The ivory is also highly poisonous."

Gu Sheng remained calm.

"My disciple's cultivation is stuck at the peak of the Underground Palace Realm, and he needs to be tempered in actual combat."

The man did not comment and handed back the Qinglong card after the operation.

"The mission details have been recorded on the jade card. If it is not completed within ten days, it will be automatically considered a failure and the corresponding points will be deducted."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Gu Sheng was about to leave when Ling Xiao suddenly spoke.

"Brother, may I ask?"

Ling Xiao pointed to the top of the stone tablet in the distance.

"How long has that bounty been up? Has anyone taken it?"

The man behind the counter paused and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

He arranged the jade slips on the table slowly and methodically, but his voice was very low.

"Junior brother, there are some questions you shouldn't ask in the Imperial Dragon Palace."

Gu Sheng's heart trembled, and he quickly grabbed Ling Xiao.

"Please forgive me, Senior Brother. My friend is new here and doesn't know the rules."

The man looked at them deeply and said no more.

Gu Sheng dragged Ling Xiao away quickly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after they walked out of the gate of the Imperial Dragon Palace.

"That person is not right."

Gu Sheng whispered.

"He looks ordinary, but I feel he is at least at the Taichu realm."

Ling Xiao belatedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"I was just curious. I didn't expect the mission with a bounty on you would be so popular."

Gu Sheng looked towards the sea of ​​clouds in the distance with a deep gaze.

"Next, we will go to Taoist Yong'an to say goodbye, and then set off immediately."

"Still going to say goodbye?"

Ling Xiao said anxiously.

"Every moment of delay now increases the danger!"

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"Master Yong'an has done me a favor, so I cannot leave without saying goodbye."

Seeing that Ling Xiao was about to refute, he added.

"Don't worry, he lives in a remote place, few people know about it."

The two of them walked down the mountain along a little-known path. On the way, Gu Sheng suddenly stopped and took out a talisman from his arms.

The talisman caught fire without wind and turned into ashes and scattered away.

"A cover-up."

Seeing Ling Xiao’s confusion, Gu Sheng explained.

"It can disrupt tracking spells for half an hour."

Ling Xiao then realized that although Gu Sheng appeared calm on the surface, he was actually taking every step carefully and had already made various preparations.

He secretly admired this caution.

At the same time, in an exquisite attic on Jiutian Peak, Wang Yuchen was kneeling on one knee, reporting to Long Teng who was sitting at the top.

"Brother, Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao have accepted the Poison Wing Elephant mission and are preparing to leave the Holy Land."

Long Teng was playing with the jade cup in his hand and sneered when he heard this.

"Poison-winged elephant? He knows how to pick."

He stood up, and his burly figure cast a large shadow in the sunlight.

"The Black Mist Canyon has a complex terrain, which is perfect for dealing with troubles."

A look of joy flashed in Wang Yuchen's eyes.

"What do you mean, senior brother?"

"Not urgent.

"Long Teng raised his hand to stop him.

"Let them go first, and we'll follow. We'll take care of it deep in the canyon without anyone noticing."

On the banks of the Ling River in the Qinghe Holy Land, the water was thick with mist and spiritual energy was floating on the river like threads.

A one-armed, white-haired old man sat quietly by the river, his back, like a dead tree, seemed to blend into this world.

In his hand he held a green bamboo fishing rod, with the fishing line lowered into the Ling River, but not a ripple was seen.

"Master Yongan."

Two figures quietly appeared behind the old man and saluted respectfully. They were Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao.

Taoist Yong'an did not turn around, his voice was hoarse like the friction of old tree bark.

"Coming out so soon?"

Gu Sheng took a step forward and clasped his fists.

"Replying to the senior, the two disciples went to the Imperial Dragon Palace to accept the mission and to gain some experience."

"Oh?"

Taoist Yong'an finally turned around and swept his cloudy eyes over the two of them.

"A new disciple, instead of seizing the time to cultivate in the holy land, is in a hurry to run away?"

Gu Sheng had already prepared a story and put on a perfect smile.

"Senior, please understand. I encountered a bottleneck while practicing in Xuanming Divine Mountain. I couldn't figure it out after thinking hard. That's why I wanted to go out and practice. Maybe I can make a breakthrough."

Ling Xiao stood aside, his fingers unconsciously stroking the hilt of the sword.

He glanced at Gu Sheng from the corner of his eye, only to see that he looked normal, with no sign of lying at all.

"Xuanming Divine Mountain?"

Taoist Yong'an raised his one arm and stroked his white beard.

"That place is too yin-filled and is definitely not suitable for long-term cultivation."

He suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"come over."

Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face and walked slowly forward.

"Senior, what are your orders?"

"hand."

Gu Sheng hesitated for a moment and placed his right hand on Taoist Yong'an's only hand.

The hand was as rough as tree bark, but surprisingly warm. Taoist Yong'an held his wrist and frowned.

"You're very weak."

Taoist Yongan spoke in a low voice.

"Did you suffer in Xuanming Divine Mountain?"

Gu Sheng was secretly shocked that this old Taoist had such a vicious vision.

He did encounter an accident at Xuanming Divine Mountain and nearly lost his life, so he hurried to leave the holy land to find an antidote.

"Senior's wise eyes."

Gu Sheng bowed his head and admitted.

"My cultivation is still in its infancy, and I did suffer a lot in the sacred mountain."

Taoist Yongan let go of his hand and pondered.

"In that case, I suggest that you go to the crater of Jinwu Mountain to practice for a few days before leaving the holy land. The Yang energy there is extremely strong, which can not only help you recover, but also strengthen your body."

"This"

Gu Sheng looked embarrassed.

"The disciple has accepted the mission, I'm afraid."

"What's more important, the mission or life?"

Taoist Yongan glared with his one eye.

"With your body, if you run into trouble, you won't even be able to run!"

Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao exchanged glances, and Ling Xiao nodded imperceptibly.

"Senior taught me a lesson."

Gu Sheng bowed deeply.

"Disciples must obey the teachings."

Taoist Yong'an was satisfied and took out a green jade token from his bosom and threw it to Gu Sheng.

"Take my Azure Dragon Token and the guards of Jinwu Mountain will not embarrass you."

"Thank you, senior!"

Gu Sheng took the jade token with both hands and felt it was warm and there was a faint sound of a dragon's roar.

Taoist Yongan waved his hand.

"Go ahead, and come back sooner rather than later. I look forward to your early growth."

Gu Sheng bowed again and turned to leave. After walking more than ten steps, Ling Xiao finally couldn't help but whispered.

"Why did you agree to go to Jinwu Mountain? We are pressed for time."

Gu Sheng kept walking and kept his voice very low.

"My current condition is indeed not good. If I encounter Longteng's people, I will have a hard time even protecting myself."

"If we delay any further, Long Teng will find out that we have accepted that mission..."

"So we must recover our strength as quickly as possible."

There was a sharp look in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"Even if we can't win, at least there's still hope of escaping."

Ling Xiao was silent for a moment and finally nodded.

"you're right."

The two asked a passing disciple about the direction of Jinwu Mountain and then hurried on their way.

Half an hour later, the temperature in the air rose significantly, and a dry heat wave hit us in the face.

"That's Jinwu Mountain?"

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.

I saw a red mountain standing between heaven and earth, with black smoke constantly spewing out from the top of the mountain.

Occasionally there were loud explosions, followed by a rain of fire all over the sky - that was the erupting magma falling like a torrential rain.

Gu Sheng held the Qinglong card tightly, feeling the heat wave coming towards him.

"Such a domineering yang energy!"

"really."

Ling Xiao felt that the blood in his body was boiling.

"This place is simply a holy land for those who practice body cultivation."

There was determination in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"Let's go, hurry up. We will stay here for three days at most."

The two of them headed towards the crater in the heat wave. As the distance shortened, the spiritual energy in the air became violent, and every breath was like swallowing a ball of fire.

Gu Sheng's skin began to turn red, and the sweat evaporated as soon as it seeped out.

"careful!"

Ling Xiao suddenly grabbed Gu Sheng.

A hot rock the size of a millstone fell from the sky and hit them not far in front of them, instantly melting a large hole in the ground.

Gu Sheng swallowed.

"It seems that not only do we need to practice, but we also need to be on guard against these unexpected disasters."

Ling Xiao smiled.

"That's exactly what I want. Practicing in this environment will definitely double the effect."

Gu Sheng also smiled, with fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

"Let's see how much progress we can make in these three days!"

The two smiled at each other and stepped into the territory of Jinwu Mountain.

At the foot of Jinwu Mountain, the heat wave distorted the air.

Gu Sheng held the Qinglong card and looked up at the crater that was constantly spewing black smoke. The magma was slowly flowing down the ravines of the mountain like tears of blood.

"I didn't expect Yongan would even be willing to give us the Qinglong brand."

Ling Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This old Taoist is quite caring about us."

Gu Sheng stroked the delicate dragon pattern on the jade token with his fingertips, his eyes complicated.

"Jinwu Mountain is similar to Xuanming Divine Mountain. It is a holy place for cultivation that only core disciples can enter. Each entry consumes points."

"We owe him a favor."

Ling Xiao sighed.

"Although, the paths are different."

Gu Sheng did not respond, but just held the jade token tighter.

Taoist Yong'an's stance was contrary to theirs, but he helped them repeatedly. This contradiction made him feel suffocated.

The two climbed up the hot mountain path. The rocks under their feet were so hot that it felt like they were stepping on red-hot iron plates.

After turning a rock wall, the view in front of them suddenly opened up - at the edge of the crater, two stone platforms stood, on which sat two guarding disciples with powerful auras.

"He who comes is stopped!"

The guard on the left had eyes as bright as lightning, and his voice was still clearly audible in the heat wave.

Gu Sheng stepped forward and presented the Qinglong tablet with both hands.

"Two senior brothers, we are here to practice under the order of Senior Yongan."

The guard took the jade token and his fingertips drew a golden light on it.

The dragon pattern on the jade token suddenly came to life, swimming and interweaving with the golden light on the guard's fingertips.

"The points are enough for three days."

The guard nodded, took out a golden seal, and stamped it heavily on the jade token.

The moment the seal touched the jade plate, a golden line shot up into the sky and connected with the formation above the crater.

The guard on the right explained.

"The gold seal will record the points consumed in real time. Once they are used up, the formation will automatically teleport you out."

Gu Sheng was secretly shocked. Compared to the free entry and exit management of Xuanming Divine Mountain, the rules of Jinwu Mountain were much stricter.

"Thank you, senior brother."

He took back the jade token and found a small golden seal next to the dragon pattern, which was glowing slightly.

The guards cleared the way.

"Remember, do what you can. The further down you go, the more overbearing the Yang energy becomes. Every year, disciples who overestimate their abilities are burned to ashes."

Ling Xiao grinned.

"Don't worry, brother. We know the limits best."

The two walked to the edge of the crater and looked down.

The rolling magma was like the throat of a giant beast, spewing out deadly heat waves.

Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao looked at each other and jumped in at the same time.

Just as their figures disappeared, three figures appeared from behind the rocks in the distance.

"As expected, we have come to Jinwu Mountain."

Wang Yuchen narrowed his eyes.

"It seems that he was seriously injured in Xuanming Divine Mountain."

Liang Yu stroked his chin.

"Do you want to follow in?"

"madness!"

Long Teng shouted coldly, his black robe fluttering in the hot wind.

"The interior of Jinwu Mountain is full of formations. Entering in rashly will only alert the enemy."

There was a sinister look in his eyes.

"They will come out eventually. Let's wait here and wait for them to come out."

Wang Yuchen frowned.

"Just in case they take another exit."

"There is only one exit from Jinwu Mountain."

Long Teng said with absolute certainty.

"Keep a close eye on it. We must not let the news of the Yulong Palace's mission leak out."

The three of them hid in the darkness, like lurking poisonous snakes, quietly waiting for their prey to appear.

Inside the volcano, Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao were like two pebbles, falling into a sea of ​​boiling magma.

The protective qi made a "hissing" sound the moment it came into contact with the magma, barely opening up a small space.

"happy!"

Ling Xiao laughed loudly and simply withdrew his protective qi, allowing the boiling magma to wrap around his entire body.

His skin turned red instantly and all his pores opened, greedily absorbing the extremely yang energy contained in the magma.

Gu Sheng carefully maintained the protective qi and observed his surroundings.

This is a red world where magma flows like liquid. Occasionally, bubbles burst and release even more violent energy.

"not enough."

Gu Sheng frowned.

"The concentration of Yang energy here is not as high as the Yin energy of Xuanming Divine Mountain."

Ling Xiao was adapting to the severe pain and was stunned when he heard this.

"Isn't that enough? I feel like every inch of my body is being torn apart and reassembled."

"Have you forgotten that I have a special physique?"

Gu Sheng said in a deep voice.

"A more extreme training environment is needed."

He pointed to the faintly visible dark red area below. (End of this chapter)
