The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 296 Bounty
Great Shang Haizhou.

Demon-suppressing Palace.

Yaoguang crossed the sea of ​​​​riots and did not return to Jiuxiaomen immediately. Instead, he went directly to the Demon-Suppressing Palace which was specially used for offering rewards and repelling enemies.

Not only did he change into the clothes of an inner disciple of the Tiandao Sect, he also displayed his cultivation of the Fiery White Golden Pill.

This kind of strength is considered the strongest among all the provincial capitals.

Apart from the state guardians and a few Dongxu war immortals and azure golden elixirs, he is already the strongest existence.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the Demon-Suppressing Palace, a cultivator quickly came forward to entertain him. When he learned of his purpose, he immediately informed the Palace Master of the Demon-Suppressing Palace.

……

The Haizhou Demon-Suppressing Palace has always been controlled by the Xi family.

This is a top-notch clan with an ancestor named Dongxu serving as a second-rank official in the imperial capital.

In addition to the Dongxu Patriarch, there are five Dongxu War Immortals, as well as a group of azure, blazing white, and dazzling golden elixir-level genius disciples.

If put in the Tiandao Sect, they are a force of the same level as the Chi family.

Some of these people followed the ancestor to consolidate their power in the imperial capital, while the others stayed in the capital of Haizhou.

The person currently in charge of the Demon-Suppressing Palace is the ninth uncle of the Xi family's patriarch, named Xi Hai, a person who has cultivated to the azure golden elixir level.

The success rate of a cultivator's attempt to reach the Void Realm during the Blazing White Golden Elixir stage is less than 5%. If we have to quantify it, it is roughly equivalent to rising from 8% when the transformation just began to gradually increase to 8%. Different talents, techniques, and background may turn 9% into 10% or %.

But once the golden elixir has completed its transformation in "quantity" and turned it into a blue supergiant star, the success rate increases to about 20%.

Each subsequent change in form, that is, the middle, late and complete stage of the Azure Golden Pill, can almost increase the success rate by 4% to 5% according to each person's background and talent.

And 35% is basically the limit of what an azure golden elixir can achieve to reach the Void Realm through its own practice.

Going further up, with the support of top masters, the success rate can be increased by 3% to 10% depending on the level of Refining Void and Shattering Void.

Or one has great fortune and obtains rare treasures that can change one's destiny, which can increase the success rate by 1% to 100%.

Of course, there are more effective methods. Let the Taoist protect the Tao. Not only can it greatly increase the success rate of promotion, but if the impact fails, the Taoist also has the ability to control the practitioner's out-of-control golden elixir, causing their state to revert back, allowing them to recuperate and continue to impact the Dongxu realm.

Until you succeed.

But the Xi family's background...

Not to mention asking the Taoist Lord to protect the Dao, it may not even be possible to gather all the decent treasures from heaven and earth.

Even if they wanted to ask a powerful Void Refinement Realm expert to protect them, they might not be willing to spend such a huge amount of money.

In any force, more than 90% of the resources are occupied by the most powerful people.

Instead of spending resources on the younger generation of Azure Golden Elixir, it would be better to support one's own ancestor so that he can achieve the state of Lianxu as soon as possible.

In this case, if the clan's azure golden elixir wants to increase its success rate, it can only rely on its own practice.

First practice to the peak of the Azure Golden Pill, and increase the success rate from 20% to 30%, or even 35%.

These are visible and tangible improvements in success rate.

To practice, you naturally need resources.

To bring the azure golden elixir from its initial stage to its peak state, one needs to invest tens of millions of pure yang elixirs.

For this reason, Xi Hai has tried every possible means over the years. No matter how much money it is, as long as the risk is within a controllable range of returns, he is unwilling to miss out on even a penny.

In this situation, when his capable subordinate and disciple Fang Lang reported that someone had come to claim the bounty for the "Black Dragon Thief", the eyes of the Demon Suppression Hall Master immediately lit up.

"Black Dragon Thief? Tong Yan!?"

Xi Hai said quickly: "If I remember correctly, his reward is 30 Pure Yang Pills!?"

"It's not 30, it's 40. The Huangquan Sect raised the bounty they offered not long ago by another 10."

Fang Lang said, and quickly added: "In addition to Tong Yan, the person who received the bounty will also receive the bounties of several other leaders of the Black Dragon Bandits. The total bounty is 64100 Pure Yang Pills."

"46 Pure Yang Pills!"

Xi Hai took a deep breath.

This……

It is enough to cultivate three or five Yaoyang Golden Pills.

Even for him, who sits on the position of the master of the Demon-Suppressing Palace, it is equivalent to the income of more than ten years.

"Who is the person who received the reward?"

Xi Hai asked quickly.

"An inner disciple of Tiandao Sect."

"Inner disciple?"

Xi Hai was slightly startled, and then his voice suddenly became higher: "Just an inner sect disciple!?"

"Yes, it is an inner door."

Fang Lang nodded excitedly.

"An inner sect disciple actually dares to come and claim the Black Dragon Thief's bounty!?"

There was some disbelief in Xi Hai's expression.

"Yes, and he is alone."

Fang Lang said heavily.

"one person……"

Why have the various bounties offered by Da Shang and many sects not been properly resolved?
The reason is that the person being rewarded is cunning and powerful, and the top experts don't care about the small reward amount.

There is another hidden reason, which is the issue of reward redemption.

Although the probability of problems is low, but...

It happens every now and then.

Therefore, in order to ensure that such a thing would not happen, those who actually completed the bounty mission would basically show up enough identities. Even if they did not have identities, those with connections would ask the big shots they could invite to help collect the bounty and then share the profits.

This has almost become an unspoken rule in the bounty circle.

In this situation, a Tiandao Sect inner sect disciple dared to come to claim the reward, especially the Black Dragon Thief’s 46 bounty…

"He has absolute confidence in his own strength!? No! If he had absolute confidence, he would have already become a true disciple of Tiandao Sect, how could he be an inner sect disciple? Fishing? No! Everyone knows that our Xi family is behind the Demon Suppression Palace. Why would he create an enemy like our Xi family for no reason? At least it's Dongxu, and Dongxu would never use such a shameless method! Does he have someone behind him? If there is someone, he would have informed our Xi family a long time ago..."

Xihai's thoughts flow at an extremely fast speed.

In the end, a result was reached that was unbelievable, but there was no other possible outcome.

"He has no strength and connections, but he desperately needs the bounty, so he took a risk... No, he should have some strength, otherwise, how could the Black Dragon Thieves fall into his hands? Even if he used lurking and assassination, his strength is estimated to be among the top among the Blazing White Golden Cores. However, this strength should not have reached the level of a great sect master, which means a combat power of about 50."

"This reward is very necessary..."

Fang Lang thought for a moment and quickly guessed something: "His cultivation should have reached the peak of Blazing White Golden Pill. He only needs to get the 46 Pure Yang Pill reward to break the limit of 'quality' in one go and advance to the Azure Golden Pill realm, thus becoming a true disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect in one fell swoop..."

Xi Hai nodded: "In the past, these bounties were sometimes swallowed up, and sometimes, the bounty was given to him first, but the bounty was tampered with, and then he was killed and the treasure was taken after he left the state. He is now betting on the second one. I can guarantee that if we give him this 46 Pure Yang Pills, he will definitely take it as soon as possible and reach the Azure Golden Pill realm as quickly as possible..."

At this point, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But I don't intend to give him this opportunity."

He stood up and said, "Let's go and see this Jindan with my own eyes. If it is really as we guessed... I want 46 Pure Yang Pills. I am also very interested in how he killed the Black Dragon Thief."

"Yes."

Fang Lang responded.

"By the way, for safety's sake, where is the latest list of Tiandao Sect's disciples? Let me see if he is a famous figure."

Shiokaido.

"I have prepared it for you, Master."

Fang Lang handed over the jade talisman with great insight.

Xi Hai checked while walking towards the VIP lounge.

When he arrived at the hall, he saw the Tiandao Sect disciple being served by a maid, and compared it with the disciple list he had just looked through...

Not any celebrity.

He is probably the kind of person who practices quietly, hoping to make a big splash.

That's it.

……

In the VIP lounge.

Yaoguang was waiting calmly.

Inner disciples...

I don’t know if the Haizhou Demon-Suppressing Palace can be suppressed.

While he was thinking, he saw a man who had practiced for five or six hundred years walked in accompanied by a young man.

According to his initial understanding, it was Xi Hai, the master of the Demon Suppression Palace.

"Are you going to collect the reward for the Black Dragon Bandits? Do you have any proof?"

The Lord of the Demon-Suppressing Palace has an upright appearance. He is straightforward in his actions and is always decisive and swift.

"Of course."

Yaoguang took out the image stone and said, "This is the image of me killing the Black Dragon Bandit."

Xi Hai took the photo stone and scanned it with his mind, with a hint of surprise between his brows.

Scarlet Divine Fire Thunder! ?

This killing weapon is very valuable.

If they were put on sale, I'm afraid we could sell three or four hundred thousand Pure Yang Pills.

However, based on these images, he also understood why Yaoguang was able to kill the Black Dragon Thief.

The Scarlet Divine Fire Thunder is activated extremely quickly. Once it hits, it is not difficult to kill an ordinary azure golden elixir.

Of course, if the Azure Golden Pill is prepared, it can still be avoided.

The image recorded on the photo stone in front of him was limited. He was a little unsure whether it was because Yaoguang's use of the Red Refining Divine Fire Thunder was too skillful, causing the Black Dragon Thief's Tong Yan to be unable to react in time, or...

While Tong Yan and others' attention was distracted by other people, he used this item to kill the enemy.

But that's not the point...

"Is this the only thing? Where is Tong Yan's head? Or his life treasure?"

Xi Hai asked in a businesslike manner.

Yaoguang frowned after hearing this, but still answered patiently: "The Palace Master of Liuying Stone saw it. Under the Red Refining Divine Fire Thunder, none of the Black Dragon Bandits' high-ranking officials survived."

"No?"

Xi Hai pretended to hesitate slightly and continued to ask: "What is your name? Where are you from? What is your cultivation level?"

After saying that, he added, "You only have one image stone after all, and Tong Yan is offering a huge reward of hundreds of thousands of Pure Yang Pills. We must carefully confirm this high-level reward to prevent someone from claiming it. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

But after Yaoguang heard his words, his mood sank.

After a while, he said, "I have heard of the unspoken rules of the Demon Suppression Hall. However, my own strength is enough to deal with the Black Dragon Thief. My background is not important. In three years, I will be promoted to the True Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Therefore, I would like to ask the Xihai Hall Master to give me this reward. When the True Disciple Banquet comes, I will invite the Hall Master to toast and thank him."

Three years later?
The true feast?

Xi Hai smiled secretly, feeling more relaxed.

Unsurprisingly.

But he still looked decent on the surface, and handed over a jade talisman with a solemn expression: "I don't know what you are talking about. Please register your information. It involves hundreds of thousands of Pure Yang Pills, which are all assets of our Great Shang. If the information is incomplete, we cannot give you the reward."
