After leaving Black Wind Ridge, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan returned to the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce hall was still bustling with people. The two walked straight to the task release area to receive new tasks.
The deacon at the task issuing office saw the two people coming and asked with a smile, "Are you two here to receive new tasks?"
Fu Shaoping nodded, his tone steady: "That's right. I wonder if there are any high contribution point tasks recently?"
The deacon took out a task scroll, unfolded it and said, "Recently, a 'Netherworld Python' appeared in the 'Ghost Swamp'. Its strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. The Chamber of Commerce has issued a hunting task, with a contribution point of up to 3,000 points. However, this task is extremely risky, and many cultivators have failed."
Nangong Wan heard this and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "Netherworld Python? I heard that its inner elixir is the core material for refining the 'Netherworld Pill' and is extremely valuable."
Fu Shaoping thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder what the specific information of this Netherworld Python is?"
The deacon explained in detail: "The Nether Python is good at hiding and poison. Its venom can corrode the spiritual shield, making it extremely difficult to deal with. In addition, it can also summon ghosts to help in battle. Many monks have suffered greatly because of this."
Fu Shaoping nodded, and said firmly: "We accept this mission."
The deacon was delighted when he heard this: "You two are indeed very courageous! This is the mission certificate, please keep it. I wish you two a successful start!"
After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Nangong Wan whispered, "Shao Ping, the Nether Python is very powerful, we need to make some preparations."
Fu Shaoping nodded, speaking in a steady tone: "The Nether Python is indeed difficult to deal with. We need to prepare some magic weapons and elixirs that can restrain poisons and ghosts. In addition, I plan to refine a fire-attributed defensive magic weapon from the fur of the Red Flame Tiger, just in case."
Nangong Wan agreed and said, "Okay, I will prepare some 'Soul-Exorcising Talismans' and 'Detoxification Pills', so that we can deal with the Nether Python's poison and ghosts when the time comes."
After the two of them had discussed it, they went to prepare. Fu Shaoping returned to his residence, took out the fur of the red flame tiger, and began to refine the magic weapon. His technique was skillful, and his spiritual power flowed through the fur, gradually refining it into a piece of fire attribute armor. Nangong Wan began to make the "Soul-Exorcist Talisman" and "Detoxification Pill", engraving the runes and medicinal power into them one by one.
A few days later, the two were ready and set out on their journey again. Their figures looked particularly determined in the setting sun, as if no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, they could not stop them from moving forward.
After arriving at the "Ghost Swamp", the two found that it was shrouded in a thick layer of black fog, and the air was filled with a cold breath. Fu Shaoping took out the mission scroll and carefully checked the trace information of the Nether Python.
"According to the scroll, the Nether Python often moves in the depths of this swamp," Fu Shaoping said in a low voice, his eyes solemn, "Its poison and ghost are extremely tricky, we must be careful."
Nangong Wan nodded, took out the "Soul Exorcist Talisman" and "Detoxification Pill" from the storage ring, and handed them to Fu Shaoping: "This is the talisman and pill I prepared. It can buy us time at the critical moment."
Fu Shaoping took the talisman and the pill and smiled: "With your help, our chances of winning are a little better."
The two continued to move deeper into the swamp. As they went deeper, the cold air around them became thicker and thicker. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in front of them, and then a huge Netherworld Python rushed out of the black fog and blocked the two.
The Nether Python was covered in pitch-black scales, its eyes were as dark as the abyss, and it was surrounded by a cold poisonous fog. It roared, and the poisonous fog spread instantly, corroding the surrounding ground into a charred black.
Fu Shaoping quickly summoned the "Fire Attribute Armor", which emitted a blazing flame, isolating the corrosive feeling of the poisonous fog. Nangong Wan immediately activated the "Soul Exorcist Talisman", which turned into a golden light and dispersed the ghosts summoned by the Nether Python one by one.
Seeing the poisonous fog and ghosts being suppressed, the Nether Python roared, and activated the first magical power "Sea of Poisonous Fog", and countless poisonous fogs turned into waves and swept in. Fu Shaoping formed seals with his hands and shouted, "Daluo Vajra Seal!" A golden seal condensed in front of him, turning into a huge golden shield to block the sea of poisonous fog.
Nangong Wan saw this and immediately strengthened her talisman: "Soul-driving formation!" Her talisman increased the power of the golden light several times, and the poisonous fog of the Nether Python was completely suppressed. The Nether Python was not to be outdone, and launched its second magical power "Venomous Fangs". Countless fangs turned into sharp arrows and attacked the two from all directions. Fu Shaoping quickly sacrificed the "Star Scimitar", and the blade light was as bright as a star, colliding head-on with the Venomous Fangs.
Nangong Wan used the "Star Body Protection Formation" to increase the power of Fu Shaoping's sword. The star scimitar cut through the poisonous fangs and approached the Nether Python. The Nether Python roared, and the third magical power "Ghost Clone" was activated. Its figure instantly turned into three phantoms, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. Fu Shaoping frowned and quickly sacrificed the "Twelve Thunder Swords", shouting: "Taiyi Sword Formation!" The twelve swords turned into a sword formation, breaking the phantoms of the Nether Python one by one.
Nangong Wan saw this and immediately used the "Illusion Destruction Formation" to increase the power of the sword formation to the extreme. The phantom of the Nether Python was completely defeated, and its true body was revealed. The Nether Python was forced into a desperate situation, and roared, and three magical powers were activated at the same time, and the sky and the earth changed color. Fu Shaoping took a deep breath and sacrificed the "Innate Spirit Treasure Broken Sword", and the sword body exuded an ancient and powerful aura. He shouted in a low voice: "Flying to Subdue Demons!" The broken sword turned into a golden light and pierced the Nether Python. Nangong Wan used all her strength to activate the talisman: "Subdue Demons Formation!" Her talisman increased the power of the broken sword to the extreme, and the golden light penetrated the body of the Nether Python. The Nether Python let out a shrill wail, and its body began to disintegrate.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan stood in front of the corpse of the Nether Python, and the air still lingered with a chill. Although the corpse of the Nether Python had been killed, its scales, bones, and inner elixir still emitted powerful spiritual fluctuations, and were obviously rare and precious materials.
Fu Shaoping squatted down and carefully examined the corpse of the Nether Python. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "The scales of the Nether Python can be used to refine defensive magic weapons, the bones are excellent materials for refining Yin attribute flying swords, and the inner elixir is the core material for refining the 'Nether Pill'."
Nangong Wan nodded, with a hint of caution in his tone: "However, there is still cold and poisonous spiritual power left on the corpse of the Nether Python. We need to handle it carefully, otherwise we may be corroded by the poisonous spiritual power."
Fu Shaoping took out a special jade box and an ice-attribute dagger from his storage ring and began to carefully peel off the scales of the Nether Python. His movements were extremely skillful, and the dagger moved between the scales and bones without leaving any unnecessary scratches. Nangong Wan cast a "soul-driving talisman" on the side, gradually suppressing the poisonous spiritual power on the scales.
"Your skills are becoming more and more sophisticated," Nangong Wan said with a smile, with a hint of admiration in his tone, "It seems that your weapon refining skills have improved significantly over the years."
Fu Shaoping smiled slightly, his hands moving non-stop: "Refining a weapon is like practicing, both require constant tempering. If these materials are handled properly, perhaps a powerful magic weapon can be refined." After peeling off the scales, Fu Shaoping began to process the bones of the Nether Python. The bones were as hard as iron, with a faint black glow on the surface, obviously containing powerful poisonous spiritual power. He took out a few ice-attribute talismans and attached them to the key parts of the bones to prevent the poisonous spiritual power from leaking out. Nangong Wan continued to activate the talismans to suppress the poisonous spiritual power in the bones bit by bit.
Finally, Fu Shaoping took out the inner elixir of the Nether Python. The inner elixir was dark black, with complex poisonous patterns on the surface, and exuded a strong cold breath. He carefully placed the inner elixir in the jade box and pasted several sealing talismans on the jade box to ensure that the poisonous spiritual power would not leak out.
"The inner elixir is the most precious part of the Nether Python," Fu Shaoping said, with a hint of solemnity in his tone, "If it is used to refine pills, perhaps it can refine a 'Netherworld Pill' that can break through the realm. However, we need to find an alchemy master to ensure that there is no risk of error."
Nangong Wan nodded in agreement: "That's right, the poisonous spiritual power of the inner elixir is too strong. If it is not handled properly, it will be counterproductive. We can put these materials away first and make plans when we return to the Chamber of Commerce."
The two put the bones, scales and inner elixir of the Nether Python into the storage ring respectively. After confirming that nothing was left out and that it was safe, they whispered, "Mission accomplished, let's leave here as soon as possible."
After Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan cleaned up the corpse of the Nether Python, they set out on their return journey. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the edge of the "Ghost Swamp", and the air was filled with a hint of damp earth. The two walked along the way they came, with brisk steps, and their mood was much more relaxed because of the successful completion of the mission.
However, just as they were about to walk out of the swamp, a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods ahead. Then, a dozen monks in black rushed out of the woods and blocked their way. The leading monk held a long knife and had a ferocious smile on his face, which clearly showed that he had bad intentions.
"My two fellow Taoists, you are in such a hurry to leave, but did you get any good things?" The leading cultivator said sinisterly, looking back and forth between Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan, obviously having set his eyes on them.
Fu Shaoping frowned slightly and said calmly: "We are just passing by and have no intention of conflicting with you. Please make way."
The leading monk sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Passing by? Humph, stop talking nonsense! Hand over the storage rings on you, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he whispered to Fu Shaoping: "These people are obviously robbers, and they are ambushing here. It seems that we have to be careful."
Fu Shaoping nodded, his eyes grim: "Since they are unwilling to give way, we have no choice but to take action."
The leading monk saw that the two had no intention of handing over the storage ring, his face darkened, and he waved his hand and said, "Brothers, go! Don't let them get away!"
A dozen robbers immediately rushed up, their magic weapons and weapons glowed with spiritual light, obviously they were all monks with good cultivation. Fu Shaoping quickly used the "Star Scimitar", the blade light was as bright as stars, and collided head-on with the robbers who rushed in front. Nangong Wan used the "Star Body Protection Formation" to increase the power of Fu Shaoping's blade light, and the Star Scimitar cut through the robbers' offensive and went straight to the monk in the lead.
The leading monk saw this and his face changed. He quickly offered a black shield to block Fu Shaoping's knife. He roared, and the long knife in his hand turned into a black knife light, slashing directly at Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping flashed and easily avoided the knife light. He swung his knife back, and the knife light was as fast as lightning, going straight for the opponent's throat.
Nangong Wan cast a "soul-driving talisman" on the side, and the talisman turned into a golden light, repelling the surrounding robbers one by one. Her technique was extremely skillful, and the power of the talisman caused considerable chaos among the robbers.
The battle lasted for a while, and the robbers gradually became exhausted. The leading monk saw that the situation was not good and shouted angrily: "Retreat!" The remaining robbers immediately fled in all directions and disappeared into the woods.
Fu Shaoping put away the Star Scimitar, looked at Nangong Wan, and smiled: "These robbers are average in strength, but they remind us that we must be more careful on the way back."
Nangong Wan nodded, with a hint of vigilance in his tone: "Yes, these robbers are obviously well prepared. We have to leave here as soon as possible to prevent them from gathering more people."
After repelling the robbers, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan quickly left the "Ghost Swamp" and set out on the road back to the Chamber of Commerce. Along the way, the two remained vigilant to prevent any more robbers or other dangers from appearing. After several days of trekking, they finally returned to the town where the Chamber of Commerce was located.
The Chamber of Commerce hall was still bustling with monks coming and going, discussing various tasks and transactions. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan walked straight to the task release area to prepare for the handover of tasks.
The deacon at the mission issuing office was delighted to see the two return. "My two fellow Taoists, did the mission go smoothly?"
Fu Shaoping nodded, his tone calm: "The mission has been completed, this is the corpse material of the Nether Python, please check it."
The deacon took the storage ring handed over by Fu Shaoping and carefully examined the scales, bones and inner elixir of the Nether Python. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You two are indeed extraordinary. You were able to successfully hunt down the Nether Python! These materials are of excellent quality, especially the inner elixir, which is rich in spiritual power and priceless."
Nangong Wan smiled slightly, and said calmly: "The Nether Python is indeed difficult to deal with, but we are fully prepared and finally lived up to your expectations."
The deacon nodded, quickly recorded the task, and took out the voucher of 3,000 contribution points and handed it to Fu Shaoping: "These are the contribution points for the task, please keep them. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce has some tasks to purchase materials for the Nether Python. If you are interested in selling them, you can come to me at any time."
Fu Shaoping took the contribution point certificate, thought for a moment, and asked, "I wonder what the price is for the Nether Python materials that the Chamber of Commerce is purchasing?"
The deacon took out a price list and handed it to Fu Shaoping: "This is the current purchase price of the Chamber of Commerce. You two can refer to it. The scales, bones and inner elixir of the Nether Python are all rare materials, especially the inner elixir. The Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay a high price for it."
Fu Shaoping carefully checked the price list and found that the price offered by the Chamber of Commerce was indeed high. He turned to look at Nangong Wan and asked in a low voice: "Wan'er, what do you think?" (End of this chapter)
