Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 368: Abnormal Mission Rewards
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps not far away. It sounded like a group of people carrying heavy loads were running in the palace. They should be the guards patrolling nearby.

Chu Pingsheng snorted coldly, and his body turned into lightning and rushed out. After two turns, he jumped onto the corridor and floated away.

Whoosh!
An arrow flew from far away and hit the place where he had just landed, breaking a piece of blue-black tile, which fell down with a crackling sound. Eunuch Hou was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his hands, looking to the north with a reproachful look, and then he walked up the stairs as if he was suddenly awakened, and checked the injuries of Gong Dian and Fan Xian.

"Commander Gong, how are you?"

"..."

"Master Fan...Master Fan..."

"I am fine."

Fan Xian knelt on one knee, covered his chest and said, "Eunuch Hou, you said this...are you used to it in the palace?"

Before, when the two of them were walking on the long path, they had seen the figure of an assassin climbing over eaves and walls. Eunuch Hou thought he was making a fuss, saying that the Qing Kingdom was now the most powerful country in the world and its cavalry was sweeping across the world. This kind of scene was nothing and they had seen it many times.

What about now? The deputy commander of the Imperial Guards was disabled and dying, so he was no match for that man.

"Ahem... Mr. Fan, what happened today... was an accident, all an accident." Eunuch Hou tried his best to add a smile to his old face that was uglier than crying.

"Eunuch Hou, are you... not going to... rescue the emperor? Cough cough..." Fan Xian coughed up a mouthful of blood. The domineering true energy he cultivated was extremely disobedient to begin with. After being kicked by the assassin and colliding with a pillar, the true energy in his body was now surging like a raging sea, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"The assassin fled to the west. Your Majesty's imperial study is in the east. Commander Yan has already noticed the battle here. I think Eunuch Hong Sixiang is also waiting for Your Majesty. It's not a big problem. But Master Fan... are you okay with your injury?"

Fan Xian glanced at the unconscious Gong Dian and waved his hand: "It's okay."

He knew very well that the masked man was holding back, but he couldn't understand why.

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of clothes and footsteps on tiles, a man wearing a silver crown, holding a carved bow, and carrying a quiver on his back turned over and landed on the ground. He walked quickly to Gong Dian, checked his breath, and stared at his blurred hands for a while. Then he looked up at the two of them and asked, "Did the assassin do this?"

"This is the commander of the imperial guards, Yan Xiaoyi."

Eunuch Hou introduced it quietly and replied softly, "Who else could it be but that assassin? In just two strikes, Commander Gong was killed and Master Fan was also injured."

Yan Xiaoyi said in a hateful voice: "He ran fast."

At this time, a team of guards holding spears and wearing armor rushed over under the leadership of a team leader.

"Two people come and take Deputy Commander Gong to the Imperial Hospital, and the rest of you follow me." After Yan Xiaoyi gave the order, he glanced at Fan Xian and chased in the direction the assassin fled.

The two guards took the stretcher prepared for transporting the assassin's body, lifted Deputy Commander Gong onto it, and trotted all the way to the Imperial Hospital.

"Eunuch Hou, what should we do next?" Fan Xian asked tentatively.

"Mr. Fan, are you okay?"

After Fan Xian adjusted his breathing, although his chest was still stuffy and painful, he had no problem getting up and walking.

"There is no hindrance to the movement."

"Then follow me to the Imperial Study."

"At this moment?"

"What kind of storms has your Majesty not experienced?"

"..."

When Fan Xian heard this, he did not dare to respond. He was really afraid that Eunuch Hou would nurse Emperor Qing to death, just like what happened to the deputy commander of the imperial guards, Gong Dian.

"By the way, Eunuch Hou, do you know what rank of master Commander Yan is?"

Eunuch Hou paused, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the ninth rank."

"Oh."

Fan Xian agreed, said nothing more, and followed quickly.

……

On the other side, Chu Pingsheng climbed over several palace walls and jumped into an empty hall through the window with an extremely unhappy mood. It was not that Yan Xiaoyi's arrows made him irritable, he did not take the masters below the grandmaster level of the world of Joy of Life seriously, it was because the Qing Palace was bigger than the Forbidden City, and the system did not even give him the palace map that the Northern Qi assassin had. Finding a quiet place to check the task requirements was like opening a blind box, and a little eunuch would suddenly jump out from somewhere, followed by two palace maids.

And this plot, the Northern Qi assassin wore night clothes and entered the palace in broad daylight to assassinate. With this level, he is still a spy? It's comparable to Guo Baokun!
Hey, is this the bedroom of Emperor Qing's concubine? Chu Pingsheng closed the window and looked around carefully. His first impression was the fragrance, as if the palace maids had just smoked incense. It was a strong but not pungent floral scent, with a hint of sweet orange fruit in the aftertaste.

The gauze curtains are hung vertically and the brocade curtains are drawn diagonally. There are two steps to the east, on which is placed an exquisitely shaped crescent-shaped couch. On both sides are jade bottles, jade cups, jade pots, and golden stoves.

To the west is a screen with a landscape painting, in front of which is a vermilion painting table with a cluster of brocade on it and colorful satin on the ground below it. Behind the screen is a women's dressing table, which is very large and long, with various grids and exquisite small boxes, gold, silver, jade, agate... jewelry of different materials are classified and neatly arranged on it. The round mirror in the middle is polished to be spotless and clear.

Chu Pingsheng had no intention of maintaining hygiene for the palace owner. He stepped up the stairs, lay down on the crescent-shaped couch covered with a silk quilt, focused his attention in his mind, and pulled down the interface to view the content of the tasks in the world of Joy of Life.

The main task is simple - continue to do things.

The side quests put him in a difficult position - to give someone a taste of their own medicine.

Give someone a taste of their own medicine? Who is this "someone"? Emperor Qing? Li Yunrui? The Second Prince? The Crown Prince? Lin Ruopu? Or all of them?

Well, just now Gong Dian asked the eunuchs to carry the corpse on a stretcher, and now he himself was carried into the Imperial Hospital. Does this count as giving someone a taste of his own medicine?
The group of people who practice martial arts are easy to deal with, but the problem is what to do with the second prince, the crown prince, Li Yunrui and others who don’t know martial arts?
By the way, I haven’t seen the mission rewards in the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world yet.

He hadn't figured out the side quest yet when he thought of this again and scrolled back to the previous page.

As soon as the main quest label lit up, a prompt sounded in his mind, telling him that the main quest reward had been issued. The basic reward was 1 skill point, which had been stored in the practice tree. The additional reward was an opportunity for enlightenment. However, unlike the situation in the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, there was an additional living creature among the optional enlightenment objects - a white ape, and the system positioned it as a pet.

Soft Hedgehog Armor, Dragon Slaying Sword, Silken Rope, White Ape...

Without hesitation, he chose to enlighten the white ape.

The white ape has a high IQ and can learn masculine martial arts. Not only can it be a thug, but it can also act as a babysitter to look after children at critical moments. It can be said to be a man of both civil and military talents. Only a fool would not choose it.

At this point, the main quest rewards have been distributed, and then the side quest rewards are distributed - Title: Forging Expert.

He had just complained that the white ape could grow and was very plastic, much stronger than the Dragon Slaying Sword, soft hedgehog armor and the like. He turned around and the system slapped him in the face, giving him the title of "forging expert".

This is more than just a title. With it, you can improve the quality of weapons and armor after being enlightened.

According to the system, he can inject the martial arts he has learned into weapons or protective gear to give them special effects. For example, if he injects the Iron Palm Flame Blade into the Heavenly Sword, the sword will be as hot as fire when used, and the person injured by it will be entangled in fire poison and suffer. If he injects the Mysterious Nether God Palm into the Heavenly Sword, it will be cold to the bone when used, and people in the affected area will either choose to stay away or use martial arts to resist. In other words, he can enchant the martial arts bonus of the [Great Vehicle Extreme Bliss Heavenly Demon Body] to the enlightened weapons or protective gear.

This reward is not bad. You know, he has two sets of meridian systems, which can fight each other. Under normal circumstances, he can perform two sets of martial arts at the same time, like the iron palm flaming knife in the left hand and the ice and fire of the Xuanming Divine Palm in the right hand. However, after enchanting the weapons, it is almost equivalent to being able to perform three sets of martial arts at the same time.

For example, the Sword of the Heavenly Sword obtains the Ice Hell of the Mysterious Palm, and at the same time uses the Quanzhen School's advanced swordsmanship of One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones, while the left hand obtains the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

"Not bad."

He was very satisfied with the mission rewards in the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world.

At this time, the darkened interface became bright again, and a "Forging Expert" page was added to the function tab.

Next, without hesitation, he pressed the switch key and entered the forging expert's page.

It lists in detail the items he has enlightened, including the Zhanlu Sword, the Yitian Sword, the Green Bamboo Staff and the Snake Bone Whip.

He glanced at the forging instructions again and noticed that the number of forgings available in the upper right corner was "2".

twice?

Completing the side quest actually gives you two chances to enchant?

Good.

Then... let's start with the Heavenly Sword.

After pondering for a moment, he still felt that the special effects of the Mysterious Nether Palm were more suitable for the Sword of the Heavenly Sword. If he found it not useful in the future, he could just spend 1 forging point to remove the enchantment effect - this was the setting he had just discovered when reading the forging instructions. If you are not satisfied with the enchantment effect, you can spend the corresponding forging points to remove it.

This setting is super thoughtful!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, consumed 1 forging point, and injected the special effect of the Mysterious Nether Palm into the Yitian Sword.

What's next?

Here he hesitated.

How about taking it slow first, testing the effects of the new weapon, Frost Sword, before deciding what to do next?
So let’s do this for now.

Of course, there is one last step. Chu Pingsheng closed the forging page, selected the practice tree tab, entered the sub-page of [Mahayana Paradise Demon Body], and clicked the upgrade option.
