429: Elder Wang was shocked!
He suddenly remembered something and added,
"Elder Wang, while you're at it, please help me calculate how many points I can exchange for all the Eerie Creatures I killed on this outing!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Wang suspiciously took the recording crystal.
"I want to see what tricks you've been up to, kid."
However, as he probed the crystal with his Divine Sense, the suspicion on his face was instantly replaced by shock.
"This... how is this possible?"
He pointed with trembling fingers at the rapidly flashing scenes in the recording crystal, his lips quivering, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
In the crystal, Su Ming moved like lightning, his sword light sharp and fierce, each strike precise and fatal.
One Heavenly Immortal Realm Eerie Creature after another,
Under his sword, they were like paper, instantly cut down.
Moreover, the Eerie Creatures were immediately killed again the moment they revived.
In Elder Wang's understanding, it was already an extremely difficult feat for an ordinary Cultivator to kill an Eerie Creature of the same Realm.
Only those exceptionally talented Prodigies could barely manage it.
And someone like Su Ming, fighting a group of Eerie Creatures alone and easily slaughtering multiple Eerie Creatures of the same Realm,
Was a rare existence even within the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.
Each of these Disciples had already been taken under the wing of an Immortal Sovereign powerful figure within the Sect.
At this moment, Elder Wang thought back to how he had said Su Ming was just out sightseeing.
But after seeing the recording crystal, he felt his face burn with embarrassment.
How was this sightseeing?
This was clearly a bloody slaughter feast!
Immediately after, the scene switched, and the crystal showed Su Ming venturing deep into the Gods Fall Abyss.
When he saw the eerie and sinister environment within the Gods Fall Abyss, and the terrifying auras hidden in the darkness,
Elder Wang's expression instantly became solemn.
He knew that this kid had really gone there, and had returned alive!
A moment later, Elder Wang closed the recording crystal.
"Killing one Heavenly Immortal Realm Eerie Creature grants ten points..."
Elder Wang took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner shock, and began to calculate Su Ming's gains.
His gaze swept over the number of Eerie Creature corpses recorded in the crystal, finally settling on a single number.
"You have obtained a total of three hundred points."
Three hundred points!
For a Heavenly Immortal Realm Disciple, this was definitely a considerable fortune, enough to exchange for many precious Cultivation resources.
Su Ming nodded in satisfaction.
"As for the points obtained from the Gods Fall Abyss mission..."
Elder Wang looked up, a hint of admiration in his eyes as he gazed at Su Ming.
"This needs to be reported to the Sect, and after the Sect's high-ranking officials evaluate the value of the intelligence you recorded in the Gods Fall Abyss, the points will be issued!"
At this moment, the few Disciples in the Mission Hall, seeing Elder Wang's shocked expression, curiously gathered around.
When they learned that Su Ming had actually completed the Gods Fall Abyss exploration mission and even killed three hundred points worth of Heavenly Immortal Realm Eerie Creatures,
Shocked gazes instantly focused on Su Ming.
"Oh my god, he really went to the Gods Fall Abyss?"
"Not only that, he came back alive? How is that possible!"
"Three hundred points worth of Heavenly Immortal Realm Eerie Creatures? He killed them all by himself?"
"Good heavens, the Outer Sect of the Immortal Sect has produced another fierce individual!"
The whispers around them rose and fell like a tide, every word filled with disbelief.
Su Ming, however, seemed detached, simply standing there calmly.
His gaze swept over these shocked Disciples, his heart without a ripple.
"Alright! The points have been credited, you can check them with your identity token!"
Elder Wang put away the recording crystal and said to Su Ming with a complex tone.
"As for the mission reward, it will be automatically issued to your identity token seven days later, after the Sect's discussion!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ming nodded slightly, said nothing more, and turned to leave the Mission Hall.
The many Disciples who had surrounded him, seeing him about to leave, all made way for him.
In their eyes, there was shock, awe, and undisguised envy.
Su Ming ignored this, walked straight through the crowd, and disappeared outside the hall.
After leaving the Mission Hall, Su Ming did not return to his Immortal Cave.
To him, that simple dwelling was less an Immortal Cave and more a temporary residence allocated by the Sect.
Now that he held three hundred points, and the Gods Fall Abyss mission reward was about to arrive, it was time to find a more suitable Cultivation place for himself.
He went directly to the trading market on Bamboo Shadow Peak.
After leaving the Mission Hall, Su Ming felt the ethereal scenery of Bamboo Shadow Peak, which formed a stark contrast to the deathly silence of the Gods Fall Abyss.
Su Ming took a deep breath, and his state of mind relaxed a little.
When he arrived at Bamboo Shadow Peak, he discovered that the trading market was not built on the mountaintop, but inside a huge mine cave.
Entering the mine cave, his vision suddenly opened up.
The space inside the mine cave was much larger than he had imagined, extending in all directions like an underground labyrinth.
Glowing Spirit Stones were embedded in the cave walls, illuminating the entire market.
The place was bustling with people, various hawking and bargaining sounds rising and falling.
Unlike the extravagance of an auction house, this place had more of a mundane, down-to-earth atmosphere.
This was where Disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect conducted their daily transactions.
Su Ming was not attracted by other stalls; he walked directly towards the Immortal Cave sales office.
That was a place directly affiliated with the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, and the quality and safety of the Immortal Caves sold there were guaranteed.
The manager of the sales office was a middle-aged Cultivator with a pale, beardless face.
The middle-aged Cultivator merely glanced at Su Ming when he arrived.
After Su Ming stated his purpose, the manager took out a Jade Slip, which contained information on the Immortal Caves available for sale.
Su Ming carefully perused the Jade Slip, and finally, he spent two hundred points to buy an Immortal Cave in the lower region of Bamboo Shadow Peak.
Although this Immortal Cave was not in the core area with the most abundant Spiritual Qi,
It had the advantage of being quiet, and the Spiritual Qi concentration far exceeded his previous residence, sufficient to meet his current Cultivation needs.
As for his original Immortal Cave, it was directly reclaimed by the Sect.
Because it was originally a welfare gift from the Sect, and not something he exchanged points for, no points were returned upon its reclamation.
Su Ming didn't care about this.
What he needed was a place that truly belonged to him, a Cultivation place where he could peacefully seclude himself without disturbance.
"I'll make do with this for now; I don't have enough points yet!"
Su Ming remembered that Su Qingyuan's residence was in the middle-to-upper region of Bamboo Shadow Peak.
From what he just learned, an Immortal Cave in Su Qingyuan's location would require over a thousand points.
Su Ming couldn't accumulate so many points in a short time.
Over a thousand points, converted, meant he would have to kill over a hundred Heavenly Immortal Realm Eerie Creatures.
Now, Su Ming had been in the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect for a year.
He still hadn't established a good relationship with Su Qingyuan.
In fact, Su Ming hadn't even met Su Qingyuan.
Just then, a familiar voice rang out.
"How many points does Su Chen owe you? I'll pay for him!"
