330: Black Mirror's authority is upgraded, and knife skills can be purchased
Several days later.
Xing Province, Qianshan Commandery, Canglang Mountain Range.
“Human Race, you seek death!”
The Ogre Tree roared furiously, dozens of gigantic vines, filled with potent poison that corroded the air, opened their gaping maws, revealing rows of needle-like iron teeth capable of crushing any prey.
The Void Realm ruptured.
An extremely crimson blade streaked across the sky.
A Demon Slayer Blade strike.
Heaven and Earth, a single line.
“Pfft!”
The dozens of gigantic vines and gaping maws were torn apart by this strike, gushing out large amounts of black-green blood.
The Demon Slayer Blade, enveloped by the power of Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder and Yin-Yang Double Lightning, directly struck the main body of the Ogre Tree.
“Pfft—”
Its Origin was wounded, and the Ogre Tree’s vitality was rapidly diminishing.
“Heaven and Earth Strange Lightning!”
The Ogre Tree was shocked again; first the Demon Slayer Blade, which countered demons, and then the strange lightning, which also countered demons.
Damn it, who the hell is this?
However, the Ogre Tree would never have the chance to know why, as Chu Jiang lightly raised his hand, and the Demon Slayer Blade’s second strike had already pierced through the air.
One strike pierced through the Ogre Tree, ending all its vitality.
[Ogre Tree, Heaven-Grade Second Level, Cultivated for one thousand years, remaining Lifespan six thousand years]
[demon life essence: Seventy-nine thousand years]
“This Ogre Tree is truly good at hiding, no wonder no one ever caught it before!”
Chu Jiang sheathed the Demon Slayer Blade. With his Qiankun Tenth Level Divine Sense, it took him a full three days to find its true body.
However, this fellow was truly rich.
Six thousand years of Lifespan.
Plant-type demons have significantly higher demon life essence than creature-type demons.
After completing the three missions, Chu Jiang flew all the way to a mission submission point, following the location given by Cui Judge.
Deep in the mountains, by a half-clear, half-turbid pond.
“This Yan Luo Temple is quite cautious, setting up their contact point in a deep mountain pond!”
Chu Jiang chuckled.
“Splash!”
Chu Jiang submerged into the water without making a single ripple, going deep into the bottom of the pond until he reached an inconspicuous large stone.
“Passcode!”
A voice came from the underwater palace at the bottom of the pond.
“Mirror Flower Water Moon!”
Chu Jiang said indifferently.
“Passcode correct, open!”
The water palace gate opened.
This contact point only had a few people, led by a slightly plump old man.
He saw.
The slightly plump old man walked to the front.
“I am the person in charge of this contact point, Magpie.”
“Fellow Daoist, you’re here to submit missions, aren’t you?”
Chu Jiang nodded and said, “I’m submitting three missions: the Ogre Tree, the traitor Xu Bufa, and Old Freak Jiyin.”
Magpie was slightly surprised; submitting three missions at once was quite rare, and moreover, it included the troublesome mission of Old Freak Jiyin.
Without exception, everyone who had taken on this mission before had failed, and his bounty reward had been continuously increasing.
“Please provide proof!”
Magpie spoke.
Chu Jiang waved his hand, and the corpse of Old Freak Jiyin, Xu Bufa and the other five Qilin Army traitors, and the main trunk and demonic roots of the Ogre Tree were all laid out.
“Confirmed correct!”
“Mission completed!”
Magpie confirmed and said, then had people take these individuals and corpses to the back.
“Fellow Daoist, your token, I will verify the contribution points!”
Chu Jiang handed the black token to Magpie.
Magpie’s expression changed slightly when he saw the black token.
“Is there a problem?”
Chu Jiang frowned.
“No, please wait a moment, I will verify it for you immediately?”
Magpie composed himself, his heart already stirring with huge waves. This token, in principle, could only be possessed by official members of the Yan Luo Temple, at least candidates for the Ten Yin Commanders. He had been in the Yan Luo Temple for three hundred years and had only seen it twice.
The true core of the Yan Luo Temple was those dozen or so official members.
No wonder he could kill Old Freak Jiyin, so he was a super big shot.
After carefully verifying the contribution points for the three missions, Magpie transferred the contribution points into Chu Jiang’s token.
“A total of thirty-four thousand contribution points!”
Magpie said, then respectfully handed the token to Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang took the black mirror. He had thought that anyone who joined the Yan Luo Temple would have this black mirror, but it seemed that was not entirely the case.
Just looking at the change in Magpie’s attitude, he knew that this black mirror was not something ordinary people could possess.
However, on second thought, it made sense.
This black mirror could communicate in real-time regardless of distance, and without any restrictions, several Ranks higher than a Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Talisman, which was enough to prove how abnormal it was.
It was destined to be rare in quantity.
Chu Jiang left the contact point and flew thousands of meters high in the sky.
He took out the black mirror again.
He found that in the personal information on the screen, his assassin Rank had changed from none to Silver Rank Assassin.
He was still sixty thousand contribution points and one special mission away from being a Gold Rank Assassin.
Just then, a new message appeared on the screen.
Cui Judge: “I have upgraded your token’s authority. You can now view the contents of the market. If you need to purchase corresponding items, after paying the contribution points, the items will be delivered to you within one month at the latest, or three days at the earliest, only within the Great Chu territory.”
“No reply needed!”
Good heavens.
After reading Cui Judge’s message, Chu Jiang exclaimed how amazing it was.
Had this Yan Luo Temple developed to such an extent?
It gave him a sense of a Great Chu logistics company.
Chu Jiang clicked on the black mirror and indeed found the newly added market entrance.
After clicking in, there were two main categories.
Treasure Pavilion, Scripture Pavilion.
The Scripture Pavilion contained a large number of martial arts.
The Treasure Pavilion contained various Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, Spiritual Artifacts, and Heaven And Earth Treasures.
Each was divided into three levels.
Bronze Rank Assassins could enter the first level.
Silver Rank Assassins could enter the second level.
Gold Rank Assassins could enter the third level.
“Why do I feel like I’m playing a cultivation game?”
A strange sense of familiarity.
The person who invented the black mirror was truly a Genius.
It shouldn’t have been invented by people of this era; they don’t have this level of skill.
Chu Jiang clicked on the first level of the Scripture Pavilion, which mainly contained martial arts below the Divine Power Rank. The second level was for the Law Manifestation Rank, and the third level was for the Qiankun Level.
Chu Jiang clicked twice consecutively, directly entering the third level.
“Can I enter the third level too?”
This black mirror token had high enough authority that even without reaching Gold Rank Assassin, he could directly access the third level.
Qiankun Level:
“Overlord Blade”, one hundred thousand contribution points.
“Jade Maiden Heart Sutra”, one hundred thirty thousand contribution points.
“Primordial Chaos Art”, one hundred eighty thousand contribution points.
“Grand Ancestor Seven Kill Fists”, two hundred thousand contribution points.
…
They were really expensive, he couldn’t afford any of them.
However, Chu Jiang had no intention of buying Qiankun Level martial arts.
He had the martial arts Fusion panel, so buying Law Manifestation Rank and directly Fusing them into Qiankun Level would save a large number of contribution points.
“Let’s buy blade techniques first!”
His current blade techniques were far from keeping up with his pace, relying entirely on Realm suppression, and the advantage of his blade techniques was not being fully utilized.
He had originally planned to go to the imperial capital to get another blade technique.
With the black mirror’s authority upgraded, buying directly from the market was also an option.
He began to browse the second level of the Scripture Pavilion.
“Water Severing Blade Manual”, even in water, the blade technique can exert considerable power, capable of drawing the blade to sever water. Five thousand contribution points.
“Ice Blade Manual”, uses ice as its bone, comprehending the extreme state of ice. Four thousand contribution points.
“Heavenly Gang Blade Technique”, uses the stars as a guide, Cultivating the most Yang Qi within blade techniques. Seven thousand contribution points.
“Overlord Blade Art”, the blade wielder is a Tyrant (Ba), going forward without hesitation. Nine thousand contribution points.
…
Chu Jiang selected for a moment and finally chose “Overlord Blade Art” and “Heavenly Gang Blade Technique”.
Clicked to purchase.
