227: New mission, hunting monsters

Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo still didn't give Midnight Gao Sou time to react. He directly grabbed his hand, handed him a knife, and then plunged it into the big dog's neck.

Soon, the big dog whimpered and died instantly.

"Where's the quest reward? Hand it over immediately, and don't be slow to react."

Midnight Gao Sou gave a bitter smile: "This time the reward is a Legacy, and when I accept it, it's directly poured into my mind..."

"Stop your damn nonsense! Can't you tell this System to change the reward into something like a Legacy Jade Slip?"

"I... I'll try..."

Soon, Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo received a scroll, which contained the Legacy of a seventh-grade Spirit Gathering Array.

He happily took it, and without giving Midnight Gao Sou any time, he barked, "What's the next quest?"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, you have received a new quest!"

"Slay a Qi Refining Realm Yao Beast. It must be a Yao Beast living in the Western Great Desert."

"Quest Reward: A seventh-grade Magical Artifact."

Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo narrowed his eyes.

The Western Great Desert is relatively dangerous, with a dense population of Demonic Beasts and Yao Beasts, and many Loose Cultivators who live on the edge of a knife.

Ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators who enter will face a near-certain death, and even Foundation Establishment Cultivators would find it difficult to protect themselves.

It is said that only Golden Core Cultivators can roam freely in the Great Desert.

"Keep him restrained here. I'll find a way to get him a Yao Beast."

With Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo's command, Midnight Gao Sou was left with endless imprisonment... In the western part of the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty.

Burning hot winds came from the west, like a crimson firebird, sucking up all moisture, causing the earth to crack and living beings to be forced to migrate eastward.

Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo squinted and looked for a long time. He finally saw that vivid fiery red, a cluster of crimson feathers forming large wings, moving very fast, wrapped in fireballs, and exuding a fiery wind.

It wasn't an illusion; there really was a giant firebird Yao Beast rampaging in the western part of the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty, like a natural disaster. Wherever it passed, not a blade of grass grew, leaving only desiccation.

The Great Jiang Empress was in seclusion, the Great Jiang Crown Prince was killed, the Imperial City was breached, and then Midnight Gao Sou fell. The entire Great Jiang lost its supreme expert, and the Great Yao in the west no longer had any scruples and began to rampage.

Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo, after all, was a Buddhist Cultivator who had reincarnated with an Immortal Foundation. After stabilizing his cultivation, he was already a strong expert in the Realm of a Grandmaster, but dealing with a Great Yao that could bring drought was still beyond his power; the opponent was definitely at the Immortal Foundation level.

So he merely dodged cautiously, not confronting the Great Yao directly, and only with great difficulty did he wait for the Great Yao to depart eastward.

He hovered in mid-air, looking at the parched earth, still seeing many skeletons. He recited some Rebirth incantations and continued westward.

The air grew hotter, and he grew more excited.

Midnight Gao Sou was a complete surprise; he hadn't expected to capture a Golden Core Reincarnator.

The other party possessed 4 reincarnation points and an extremely powerful Golden Finger. Given enough time, he could regain his Peak.

Unfortunately, he had just started over and wasn't even a Qi Refining Cultivator. He was immediately captured by him, a Grandmaster comparable to a Mortal Foundation.

Even more fortunately, Midnight Gao Sou hadn't chosen a special Physique or a one-time enhancement, but a System of quests that could continuously provide rewards!

In this way, as long as he controlled Midnight Gao Sou and continuously completed quests, then Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo would effectively possess the Golden Finger that only a Golden Core Reincarnator could have.

Originally, he had only intended to convert others as much as possible, achieving the Arhat stage one step ahead of the Grandmaster, thereby avoiding being used by the other party to break through to the Arhat stage.

But now he had an even bolder idea. With the quest System and the Golden Finger that only a Golden Core Cultivator could possess, he could completely switch accounts and restart after preparing everything, then cultivate the orthodox immortal cultivation methods and not fear the Grandmaster targeting him.

Thinking of this, Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo's lips curved upward.

Beyond the pros and cons, there was actually one more thing that greatly satisfied him.

That was the change in status.

Not long ago, he was merely an Elder of the Great Love Sect, while Midnight Gao Sou was the Sect Master. But now their roles were reversed; the other party was imprisoned by him, becoming a quest NPC... In the Western Great Desert.

Old Potato wore a light, simple garment, looking like a veil draped over him, airy and breathable, preventing the Great Desert's scorching heat from thoroughly roasting a person.

He held daggers in both hands, his fists clenched, wiping the sweat from his forehead. The scorching sun almost made it impossible for him to open his eyes.

Beside him were his companions, five in total, all holding weapons, forming a circle, vigilantly watching the Yao Beast in front of them.

It was a green poisonous scorpion, about several meters long. Its sharp tail stinger, once it struck, could inject potent venom, instantly killing even a Mortal Foundation Cultivator, making it extremely dangerous.

Old Potato and his people had fought with it for three full days, finally exhausting its strength, watching its speed grow slower and slower.

"Now!"

He quickly shouted, and along with his companions, charged forward. Their weapons continuously hacked at the scorpion, causing it to shriek repeatedly, then quickly lose consciousness and collapse to the ground.

Yao Beasts have tenacious vitality; even at this point, it wasn't dead, but it had lost its fighting capability. Old Potato and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, their lips curving into smiles.

A Peak Qi Refining Yao Beast, and an extremely rare emerald green venomous scorpion at that, could be sold for a very high price, enough for them to purchase Immortal Qi and attempt to Breakthrough to the Immortal Foundation.

Just as Old Potato and his companions stepped forward, preparing to chain the Yao Beast and drag it back to their camp.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed in the distance, followed by a Bald Monk who stepped through the air. He scanned the area, and seeing that everyone was merely at the Qi Refining Realm, his lips curved upward, and his gaze fell upon the scorpion.

"I'll take this scorpion."

Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo was arrogant, not giving Old Potato and the others time to respond. With a wave of his hand, he directly sucked the scorpion over.

Seeing their hard-won spoils of three days about to be snatched away, Old Potato immediately grew anxious, but he knew that everyone present combined was no match for this Grandmaster.

So he feigned composure and said:

"Fellow Daoist, we are members of the Flame Fire Gang. If you dare to snatch the Yao Beast we surrounded, do you know the consequences?"

"Flame Fire Gang?"

Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo thought for a moment: "Never heard of it. What small faction are you from? Let me tell you, I am from the Great Love Sect. If you have any issues, go talk to our Sect Master!"

Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo flicked his sleeves, and carrying the emerald green venomous scorpion, he flew gracefully eastward.

"This is too much!"

Old Potato immediately became enraged: "Damn it, this Great Love Sect is even worse than the Great Love Sect! They actually come to the Great Desert to bully us!"

The other few were also furious, staring intently in the direction the Monk had departed.

"This isn't over! Our Flame Fire Gang must retaliate!"

Old Potato cursed several more times, then coldly snorted and said, "When Yan Xiao comes out of seclusion, this Great Love Sect will die with him!"

...Zu Dui Bie Ti Wo carried the Yao Beast, speeding along, and quickly returned to his Immortal Cave.

He directly threw the Yao Beast in front of Midnight Gao Sou, and once again controlled him to kill the Yao Beast.
