This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

As long as you make good contributions to upgrade the sect, I'll take care of everything else!

2.2x isn't the peak, hurry up and give me a 3.0x boost!

He brought back a special high-grade Xuan-level building and a sect-protecting formation for the sect members, and in return, the sect members gave him a level 4 sect.

Win-win!

After casually tapping around in the sect interface, Jiang Liu happily closed it, turned around, opened the mini-map, and teleported back into Bailu City.

Bailu City.

City Lord's Mansion.

Upon entering the main hall of the city lord's mansion, one sees the Immortal Alliance envoy leisurely drinking tea.

Wearing a long purple gauze dress, she leaned back in her chair with her long legs crossed, sipping tea with a languid expression. Wouldn't her standby pose change?

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, stepped forward, took out the quest item, and said to Feng Zuimeng, "This junior has not failed in his mission. This is the head of the Ghost Face Palace Master. Please inspect it, senior."

Snapped!

A clear sound.

When Feng Zuimeng saw the head of the Ghost-Faced Palace Master, her expression changed drastically. Her jade hand loosened, and the teacup fell to the ground, shattering completely. It was clear how shocked she was at that moment.

She looked at the Ghost-Faced Palace Master's head, then at Jiang Liu, and asked in a trembling voice, "Did you kill him?"

Do not believe?

Don't believe me? Let's have a competition!

If you were to utter a phrase like "mere Foundation Establishment," I would definitely put you on my monster-hunting list.

Jiang Liu thought to himself, but said with a relaxed expression, "That's right, it is I. Senior, don't underestimate me just because I'm only at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Killing a late-stage Golden Core cultivator is still relatively easy for me."

"You reversed the Foundation Establishment stage and slashed through the Golden Core stage; I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Feng Zuimeng looked at Jiang Liu with complicated eyes. After casually smashing the Ghost-Faced Palace Master's head into powder with a palm, she breathed a sigh of relief and murmured softly, "Now I can finally comfort the spirits of the sect's disciples in heaven."

"Tell me, what reward do you want? I'll grant you anything!"

She looked at Jiang Liu with a charming smile and said in a very bold manner.

Any reward is acceptable?

Madam, could you add a Daoist partner? My affinity level is rising incredibly fast.

next second.

A notification popped up in front of him.

[Please select task reward]

【One: A high-grade Xuan artifact】

[Two: A superior-grade mystical technique]

[Three: The Immortal Alliance contribution points gained from destroying the Ghost-Faced Demon Palace will be doubled]

Please select one of the above options.

Jiang Liu: "......"

Any reward is acceptable!

But there are only three options!

Then what are you even talking about?

The highest-grade item is only a superior-level Xuan-rank item. This Golden Core Great Perfection is too poor. I thought the reward would be a Spirit-rank item.

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes, utterly disgusted by the task reward. Even though it was a task he did casually, this was far too perfunctory.

Is a top-grade mystic weapon or a top-grade mystic technique considered trash as a reward?

Definitely not!

But his appetite had already been stretched too far, and high-grade Xuan-level items could no longer surprise him.

All he wants now is a magical artifact!

As for the third option, is the Immortal Alliance contribution doubled?

No matter how much you contribute, can it ever surpass the value of a high-grade Xuan-level item?

Trap option identified.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Liu said, "I am missing a defensive mystic technique. I wonder if you have any, senior?"

"Defensive mystical arts?"

Feng Zuimeng lightly tapped her chin with her fingertips, revealing a thoughtful expression. A few seconds later, she opened her palm, a flash of white light appeared, and she handed a book of profound techniques to Jiang Liu, saying, "I noticed that you faintly exude a chilling aura, so you must be a possessor of the Ice Spirit Root. This book of profound techniques is just right for you."

You have obtained a superior-grade mystical technique—Extreme Ice Seal.

Ice-based mystical arts?

Jiang Liu was slightly taken aback, then his face lit up with surprise, and he quickly took the book to look at it.

【Extreme Ice Seal】

[Grade: High Grade Xuan Grade]

[Attribute: When used on oneself, it can seal oneself within extremely cold ice, enough to withstand damage from those two minor realms higher than the caster (damage intensity not exceeding the Nascent Soul stage); when cast on others, it can seal targets two minor realms lower than the caster, but consumes a great deal of spiritual energy.]

Holy crap, that's awesome!

It can block damage and seal enemies, it's both a defensive skill and a control skill, ice magic is truly amazing!

The task rewards are garbage?

I'm sorry, I apologize.

Just then, the system voice rang in his mind.

You have completed the only quest issued by NPC Feng Zuimeng—Destroy the Ghost-Faced Demon Palace.

[You have destroyed the demonic forces—Ghost-Faced Demon Palace, and gained 10000 Immortal Alliance contribution points.]

[You have destroyed the demonic forces—Ghost Face Demon Palace. Your reputation within the Taiyi Immortal Alliance has been raised to 'Firefly']

Your reputation level in the Taiyi Immortal Alliance is "Firefly Glimmer," and you receive a 4% discount when shopping at properties under the alliance's name.

He was still listening to the system's voice in his mind when Feng Zuimeng spoke again.

Feng Zuimeng changed her standby posture, leaning back in her chair with her arm resting on the tea table. She smiled at Jiang Liu and said, "Ghost Face Demon Palace is one of the demonic forces known to the Immortal Alliance. It rewards 1 contribution points in the Immortal Alliance mission. I have noted your achievement and will upload it to the Immortal Alliance soon."

"Congratulations, Sect Master Jiang. After this incident, you will have gained some fame within the Immortal Alliance."

I don't care about reputation, I just want to know what I can buy with 1 contribution points.

"Then I'll trouble you to report it, senior."

Jiang Liu cupped his hands in greeting to Feng Zuimeng, then said directly, "Senior, please open the shop. I want to see what I can buy with my Immortal Alliance contribution points."

"shop?"

Feng Zuimeng looked at Jiang Liu with a strange expression: "The Immortal Alliance Shop is in Crimson Flame Immortal City, how can I open it for you?"

Jiang Liu: "??????"

Aren't you an NPC from the Immortal Alliance stationed in Bailu City?

What use are you if you're an NPC who can't even open the shop?

"no......"

Jiang Liu was stunned, his tone filled with disbelief: "I have to go to Crimson Flame Immortal City to use up Immortal Alliance contribution points?"

"Isn't this the proper thing to do?"

Feng Zuimeng said with a matter-of-fact expression: "The Immortal Alliance Contribution Shop is one of the most important assets of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance. Its treasure trove is full of spiritual artifacts and Dao artifacts, and even immortal artifacts. How can it be opened outside the main city?"

"If anything is lost, or if it's attacked by demonic forces, who will take responsibility?"

Jiang Liu: "......"

Awesome, reasonable, nothing to say.

They even have celestial artifacts?

What level of strength would be needed to attack the Immortal Alliance's treasury?

I don't mean anything by it, I just want to know how robust the vault's defenses are, and whether I can help out or something.

He couldn't use the Immortal Alliance contribution points for a while, but now that he knew the contribution shop even had Immortal Artifacts, he wasn't in a hurry to use them.

Save it up, save it up to exchange for a celestial weapon!

They fiercely pushed against the demonic forces, fighting for the righteous path and for immortal artifacts!

Jiang Liu, his fighting spirit high and his heart burning with passion, stared intently at Feng Zuimeng with bright eyes and said, "The Ghost-Faced Demon Palace has been destroyed. Senior, do you have any other tasks for me?"

"Feel sorry."

Feng Zuimeng shook her head: "In the Immortal Alliance missions, the task of eliminating demonic forces will only be given to cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above. You are still a little short of the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection stage. Please improve your strength as soon as possible."

Jiang Liu: "......"

Goodbye.

Chapter 167: Limited-time banner with double rate-up! But it costs 120 million spirit stones! (Seeking 10,000 daily subscriptions)

Merely laying the foundation!

These Golden Core cultivators all look down on Foundation Establishment cultivators!

When I reach the Golden Core stage, will there still be Nascent Soul experts who say to me, "It's just a mere Golden Core stage?"

accurate.

After leaving Bailu City, Jiang Liu returned to the sect's residence and began taking attendance.

They summoned Yi Luoluo to join a large world of sect members, and then charged into the outer layer of the Ghost Face Demon Palace to start the killing spree.

After killing the black skeleton, they left immediately; the whole process took less than five minutes.
