Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Song Xuan exchanged one hundred top-grade spirit stones for backup. As for the remaining merit points, he did not use them, but planned to save them for emergency use.

He picked out several nice treasures from the exchange list of the Imperial City Bureau. According to the classification of treasures by the Imperial City Bureau, they were classified as ancient treasures.

In the world of all spirits, treasures are also divided into various levels.

There are seven levels in total: magic tools, magic treasures, spiritual treasures, ancient treasures, supreme treasures, immortal tools, and national treasures!

I won’t talk about magical instruments or anything like that, as those are used by low-level cultivators.

Magical weapons are treasures that can only be refined and used by Jindan stage cultivators.

Lingbao is a magic weapon that produces a spirit, which further enhances both the attack and defense capabilities. Generally speaking, cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage and below the Fusion Stage use treasures of this level.

As for the ancient treasures, they are special treasures tempered by the powerful beings in the fusion realm with the power of their own Tao fruits. They are ancient and powerful, with unfathomable divine power. Treasures of this level can only be used by those who are in the fusion realm.

The supreme treasure cannot be refined by human power, but is nurtured by the world of all spirits. It has all kinds of magical effects that can be called creation. Even the Mahayana cultivators will be tempted by it.

As for the immortal weapon, there is nothing much to say about it. It is not a treasure owned by the Wanling World, but a weapon used by the projection of the immortal from the upper realm when it descended.

Later, the projections of the immortals and demons dissipated, and the immortal weapons disappeared. As to whether they fell into the hands of some Mahayana beings, it is unknown.

As for the national treasures, there are seven known ones. Their origins and functions are unknown. The only known thing is that they have the ability to suppress luck and transform luck into various functions.

This alone has already made the immortals and demons in the upper realm excited. If it were not impossible to bring it back to the upper realm, the entire world of all spirits would have collapsed long ago!

The several ancient treasures that Song Xuan had his eyes on were all treasures left behind by powerful masters in the fusion realm who had died for various reasons.

These treasures are all ancient treasures with the attributes of the five elements. Song Xuan plans to exchange them one by one when he has enough merit points in the future. After he is promoted to the fusion realm, he will melt them into his own natal immortal sword!

Looking at those ancient treasures that could only be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of merit points, Song Xuan sighed inwardly.

After decades of hard work, I'm still a poor bastard in the end!

In the room, after Song Xuan chose to exchange for one hundred top-grade spirit stones, he saw a light blue cyclone appear on the identity compass. The cyclone seemed to be connected to another space. Soon, pieces of top-grade spirit stones were thrown out from the cyclone.

Song Xuan took a glance and found that there were exactly one hundred top-grade spirit stones, no more, no less. He waved his sleeves and put the spirit stones into the storage ring, then looked at the identity compass with a complicated expression.

This thing is standard equipment for the Imperial City Bureau staff, and it already has all kinds of wonderful effects. God knows how terrifying the true form of the Fortune Compass is!

After sorting out the gains from this trip, Song Xuan looked at the identity compass to see if there were any new tasks.

But unfortunately, there are no new tasks.

Song Xuan frowned.

No missions? How can this be possible?

I've been lying down and slacking off for so many years. It's a rare chance for me to turn things around and I want to give it a try. Now you tell me there are no tasks?

He swept his mind across the identity compass and entered the two keywords "mission".

Then, the words "Sorry, there are currently no tasks to accept" appeared on the compass.

Song Xuan remained unmoved and typed the word "task" again.

"Sorry, there are currently no tasks available."

"Task!" Song Xuan continued to input.

"Feel sorry..."

"Task!"

"Feel sorry..."

"Task!"

"Feel sorry..."

...

Sorry, sorry, I apologize to your mother!

Song Xuan was a little annoyed and kept refreshing the identity compass, trying to compete with it.

In this way, when Song Xuan entered the task for the 150th time, the identity compass paused slightly. Instead of an apology appearing, a task that could be accepted actually appeared.

Mission: Ma Liang’s call for help!

Mission introduction: Ma Liang, a captain of the Imperial City, accidentally obtained a magic pen that could make fake things real while exploring the ancient secrets. After the news leaked, he was hunted by countless masters.

This mission is issued in Yandang Mountain, 30,000 miles away. After accepting the mission, please rush to the mission location as soon as possible to carry out rescue.

Mission reward: 500 merit points.

After quickly browsing through the task introduction, Song Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, if you keep thinking about something, there will be a response. As long as you are shameless enough and persist, you will be rewarded in the end.

Judging from the situation, the Fortune Compass must be annoyed, so they picked a task and threw it to me from tens of thousands of miles away.

Luo Pan’s attitude is very clear: Get out of here as soon as you accept the task, and stop refreshing the screen over and over again!

Chapter 627 Help me up quickly, I can continue painting!

Yandang Mountain stretches for three thousand miles, with high mountains, thick fog and pervasive miasma.

On a mountain peak, several men in gray clothes, their faces concealed, were talking in low voices.

"In this place, spiritual sense exploration is limited, so Ma Liang will hide!"

"He can't hide for too long. This mountain is only three thousand miles away, and there are already great cultivators in the Spiritual Severing Stage rushing here. It won't be long before he's found!"

"What a pity! The more people come, the less likely we are to get the magic pen."

"Since I'm here, I might as well try my luck."

"So, does that magic pen really have the power to make fake things look real? Don't exaggerate and spread rumors!"

"My newly-accepted concubine hasn't even had time to sleep with me yet, but after hearing the news, she ran here eagerly. Even if she can't get the magic pen, at least she can satisfy her curiosity by looking at it!"

The tallest of the group said solemnly, "I think it's correct. It does have the ability to make fake things look real."

"This Ma Liang was originally a small flagman of the Imperial City Division eighty years ago, and his cultivation level was only at the Golden Core Stage.

But in just eighty years, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has now reached the Return to Void stage. He seems to have never been troubled by resources, let alone a bottleneck.

"I originally thought he was a genius in the cultivation world, but then one day, while drinking with his colleagues, he accidentally let the cat out of the bag."

"According to him, when he was young, he accidentally found a brush in a secret place. That day, he painted a beautiful woman at home. As a result, the beautiful woman walked out of the painting that night and went to Wushan with him, and they became Taoist companions."

"Oh?" Several people exclaimed in surprise, and someone even said excitedly, "Is that true? I have some rare copies in my collection, and I really want to ask Ma Liang to help me copy them."

The tall man glanced at him and said, "Is this all you can do? If it were me, I would just copy Master's Wife!"

"Shh! Brother, be careful with your words. Don't say such things carelessly!"

Someone laughed and said, "But if you really have the magic brush, please copy a few more of your mistresses' paintings. We are all brothers and sisters, you can't eat alone!"

Everyone nodded repeatedly. It was obvious that they, the disciples, had been thinking about their master's wife for a long time.

It’s just a pity that the old master has been alive and well and just won’t die!

The tall man glanced around, making sure no one was eavesdropping, and then said with a smile, "Let's continue with Ma Liang. Ma Liang discovered that the beauties he painted could become real, and then he became interested in painting spirit stones and elixirs.

As a result, it really came true!

Over the years, his cultivation has continued to improve, and his official position in the Imperial City Department has also become higher and higher. After a long time, he became a little too proud and accidentally revealed his true identity in front of his so-called friends.

At this point, he sneered, "This guy is really naive. He's used to having smooth sailing in official circles and has never been subjected to the harsh treatment in official circles. He actually treats his colleagues as friends. Isn't that ridiculous?

This time, Ma Liang was said to have come to Yandang Mountain on a mission, but he was blocked by various masters inside the mountain. It was obvious that the news was leaked by his so-called friends.

"These people are interesting. Due to their status, it's inconvenient for them to directly snatch the magic brush from Ma Liang. So they want to kill with a borrowed knife, letting us, the independent and evil cultivators, come forward. After Ma Liang dies, they will come out and reap the spoils!"

The tall man laughed heartily when he said this, "But I guess those people didn't expect that this matter would become quite a big deal. The independent cultivators and evil cultivators called their friends and there must be thousands of them coming here one after another.

Furthermore, several Spiritualization Stage cultivators have already arrived, and it is estimated that there will be more and more masters in the future. Those who leaked the news will probably have a hard time reaping the benefits! "

On this side, countless cultivators in Yandang Mountain were searching for Ma Liang's hiding place. On the other side, Song Xuan simply spoke a few words to Song Qian and Yao Yue, and then prepared to set off.

In his opinion, it was just a small task of 500 merit points, and it was not worth taking the two of them along.

If the situation is really impossible and you can't save the person, the worst that can happen is that you just run away.

With his abilities, he was fully confident that he could escape even if he was being hunted down by a powerful person in the Fusion Realm.

Yao Yue naturally didn't say much about her husband's arrangements, but Song Qian was a little excited and gave a few more instructions.

"Brother, saving people is not important, remember to bring that pen back!

You know, I’ve had a dream of painting since I was a child!"

Song Xuan: “…”

"understood!"

He waved his hand and said, "Keep an eye on Ning Caichen and don't let anything happen to him. He has good luck and may be useful in the court in the future."

"I know, I know!"

After Song Xuan walked away, Yao Yue asked curiously, "Xiao Qian, if your husband really brings back that magic brush, what are you going to draw?"

"hey-hey....."

Song Qian just looked in the direction where her brother left and smiled without saying anything, her eyes sparkling.

......

Yandang Mountain, in a cave underground.

A middle-aged man in a black robe of the Imperial City Bureau, with extremely eye-catching white hair, was standing next to the stone wall, constantly drawing something with a pen.

Soon, as he uttered a word, a battle flag appeared from the painting and fell into his hand.

Holding the formation flag in one hand, he made a seal with the other hand, and then a magical power was released, and the formation flag merged into the ground and disappeared.

After finishing all this, he sat down on the ground and rubbed his forehead tiredly. "With the blessing of this flag, I should be able to hide for another day. I don't know if my rescue mission has been accepted by anyone."

As he spoke, he took out his identity token, glanced at the rescue mission he had posted, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Young lady, someone has accepted the mission I sent out!"

Not far from him stood a woman in a yellow skirt.

The woman looked to be in her twenties, with skin as white as snow and a slim figure. She was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting.

Standing next to this middle-aged man with white hair, she feels like an old man and a young wife.

Seeing the man finished his work, she walked forward with a bit of heartache, took his arm, and whispered: "Husband, didn't you say before that the people who betrayed you were from the Imperial City Bureau?

How can you tell now whether the person who accepted the mission is here to save you or to kill you?"

The man was stunned when he heard this, sat down on the ground dejectedly, and sighed deeply.

"I was careless for a moment and just now I have brought myself to such a deadly situation. It would be fine if I died, but it is you, Youniang, who has been implicated. If I had not drawn you back then, perhaps you would not have to accompany me to endure the crisis today!"

With tears in her eyes, Youniang shook her head gently, "My husband, don't blame yourself. If it weren't for you, how could I have come to this world? I wouldn't have understood that there is such a thing as love in this world.

Living together, sleeping together, dying together, Youniang is already satisfied with her life!"

The man was somewhat touched. "Help me up quickly. I can continue painting. I want to paint a few more battle flags and hold on for a few more days.

Maybe there will be a turning point?"

Chapter 628 Don’t worry, just be shocked like others

"Husband, stop drawing!"

You Niang stroked her husband Ma Liang's face and said with regret, "This pen consumes my luck and even my lifespan."

“My husband is in trouble today because he has used this money too many times and wasted too much of his luck.

I know my husband wants to hold on until the person who accepts the mission arrives, but there is no need. My husband's luck has been exhausted and his life span has been used up. Even if he can hold on until that person arrives, there is a 99% chance that he will come to kill you and take your magic pen!"

As she spoke, You Niang pulled out a dagger from her bosom and put it against her neck.

"My dear husband, don't pin your hopes on others. While you still have some life left, draw a few more protective magic treasures and escape."

"I am nothing but a burden. Staying by your side would only drag you down. If you had abandoned me and escaped immediately when you were surrounded, you wouldn't have been forced into this situation today!"

Seeing his wife was about to die for love, Ma Liang was not panicked. He just closed his eyes slightly and smiled softly, saying, "If you die, then I will also die here. You and I can be a pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks here."

He glanced at the pen in his hand and said, "I just hope that the person who accepted my task will bury us together for the sake of this pen. I..."
