My breathing can improve my power

"Go to the ice and snow plains in the far north of the Dali Dynasty and collect thousand-year-old ice and snow lotus. Each plant has 10,000 contribution points, and a total of ten plants are needed."

"I want to buy 100 kilograms of Ruyi Spiritual Iron and get 100,000 contribution points."

"Kill the Sky Thunder Beast and hand over the Sky Thunder Beast's body and demon crystal. The Earth Level Sky Thunder Beast will contribute 200,000 points, and the Sky Level Sky Thunder Beast will contribute 600,000 points."

"..."

Arriving at the mission hall, Zhou Shan carefully searched each mission.

His eyes are all on level five tasks and level six tasks.

Zhou Shan was able to complete most of these tasks, except for the task of killing the Heavenly Thunder Beast, but some tasks were more time-consuming.

For example, collecting the Millennium Ice and Snow Lotus, which is a relatively rare ice-attributed earth-level spiritual object, can refine ice-attribute elixirs that improve cultivation. However, it would take several years to collect ten Millennium Ice and Snow Lotuses. Just search in the ice and snow plains.

There is also Ruyi Spirit Iron, which is also an extremely rare spirit iron. It takes time to search for it slowly in a specific area.

Of course, if there are spiritual stones, whether they are Millennium Ice and Snow Lotus or Ruyi Spiritual Iron, they can also be purchased at the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

But since there are spiritual stones that can buy things like thousand-year-old ice and snow lotus, wishful spirit iron, etc., why not just exchange the spiritual stones for contribution points and do other tasks.

The disciples who came to the mission hall chose to do missions to accumulate contribution points in exchange for cultivation resources because they did not have spiritual stones in their hands.

If you have spirit stones, you can directly purchase cultivation resources.

Zhou Shan turned his attention away from these tasks of finding earth-level spiritual objects, and mainly focused on some killing tasks.

Compared with spending time to find rare earth-level spiritual objects, hunt monster beasts, kill monster warriors, evil bandits and other tasks, it is undoubtedly more labor-saving.

However, this truth is not only known to Zhou Shan, but also to the rest of the core disciples and true disciples. Therefore, as long as some killing tasks that are easy to complete appear, they will be taken over by others as soon as possible. Some tasks that are left behind will be taken over by others as soon as they appear. They are all rather tricky.

The previous missions that Zhou Shan received to kill the demon warrior and the mission to kill the ancient dragon ape were just refreshed, so Zhou Shan took them.

After searching around, Zhou Shan could not find a suitable task for him.

Although among these missions, there are also some missions to kill monster beasts, these tasks are quite difficult. For example, killing the Sky Thunder Beast is extremely fast. Even if the Earth Yuan Realm Master finds the Sky Thunder Beast, it will still be very difficult. catch up.

Therefore, the Earth-level Heavenly Thunder Beast is worth 200,000 contribution points, and the Heaven-level Heavenly Thunder Beast is worth up to 600,000 contribution points.

In addition to killing the Sky Thunder Beast, there are also tasks such as killing the Fire Lin Beast and Black Rock Beast.

This Fire Lin Beast lives deep in the underground magma. The Earth Yuan Realm Venerable has magical power to protect his body. Although it can penetrate deep into the underground magma, it is not easy to find the Fire Lin Beast.

Black Rock Beast has the talent of escaping from the earth.

Once defeated, it will escape underground.

Not to mention the Venerables of the Earth Yuan Realm, even the Venerables of the Tian Yuan Realm and even the Martial King of the Dan Yuan Realm could only be blinded by the basalt beast that had escaped hundreds of meters underground.

If you want to catch the basalt beast, you can only make a sneak attack and suppress the basalt beast's mental consciousness the moment you take action, or you can use something that the basalt beast likes to lure the basalt beast to the bait.

In short, most of these tasks left without anyone to take them are quite troublesome.

Uh-huh!

At this time, a new task appeared on the task wall.

Zhou Shan's eyes immediately turned to the task that appeared.

"The corpse demon appeared in the Wu Dynasty. This corpse demon has more than a hundred years of mana. It has reached the middle stage of the Earth Element Realm. Killing the corpse demon will reward you with 30,000 contribution points."

Zhou Shan looked at the details of this task carefully.

The Wu Dynasty, like the previous Liang Dynasty, was a low-level dynasty.

According to the investigation of the branch of the Baji Tianzong of the Great Wu Dynasty, the corpse demon that appeared was the founder of a Taoist temple called Changsheng Temple in the Great Wu Dynasty.

The Patriarch of Changshengguan died four hundred years ago.

But the Patriarch of Changshengguan was not willing to die like this, so before he died, he found a very gloomy place where humans and animals died, according to the secret method in an ancient book, and then buried himself in it.

Moreover, the founder of the Immortality Temple left a handbook, which was passed down by successive generations of temple owners, and asked future generations to dig out his body in that extremely gloomy place four hundred years later, saying that it contained the secret of immortality.

The patriarch of the Immortality Guan generation was nearing his end of life. He saw the secret of immortality mentioned in the notes, so he followed the notes to the extremely gloomy place and dug out the body of the ancestor of the Immortality Guan.

Four hundred years later, the body of the Patriarch of the Immortality Temple was rare and did not rot, but turned into a mummy. After investigation, the owner of the Immortality Temple found that the Patriarch of the Immortality Temple still had a weak heartbeat and breathing.

This makes the observers of the Immortality View believe in the theory of immortality.

The owner of the Temple of Immortality immediately nourished the corpse with elixirs according to the ancient books left by the founder of the Temple of Immortality, and also fed the blood of living people, so that the founder of the Temple of Immortality could live towards death and resurrected. After nine years of feeding, the immortal was born. Patriarch Guan came back to life, but he became a zombie demon with only a hazy consciousness, which in turn slaughtered the entire Immortal Guan from top to bottom.

After the incident, warriors from the imperial court and the Baji Tianzong branch went to Changsheng Temple to investigate and found the ancient book.

What is recorded in that ancient book is not a method of immortality at all, but a secret method of cultivating and refining the corpse demon. Once successful, the corpse demon will give birth to the Tianyin Corpse Demon, which has the strength to rival the Earth Yuan Realm. .

Tianyin Corpse Evil, this is a top-grade earth evil that is more powerful than Xuanming Blood Evil, and its power is also at the forefront among high-grade earth evil spirits.

However, the birth of Tianyin Zhisha is extremely demanding. Most of them are born in places where humans and animals have died. They need to kill hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, and they have to find a place with spiritual veins.

In this way, tens or even hundreds of years later, the Tianyin Corpse Evil will be born, which will turn into the Tianyin Corpse Evil Earth Meridian.

The secret method of refining the corpse demon is to cultivate the Tianyin Corpse Demon the day after tomorrow, but it also needs to find a place where humans and animals die, and the cultivation time will be longer, but there are some defects at the back, so The Patriarch of the Immortality View did not know that this was a secret method for refining the corpse demon, and regarded it as a secret method that could lead to immortality.

"This is the mission of the zombie demon in the middle stage of Earth Yuan Realm."

Zhou Shan came to the elder of the mission hall and accepted the mission of killing the zombie demon.

This corpse demon only has the strength of the middle stage of Earth Yuan Realm. It is not difficult for him to kill it.

After receiving the mission, Zhou Shan left the sect on the Purple Cloud Eagle and headed for the Wu Dynasty.

Four days later.

Zhou Shan arrived at the Wu Dynasty.

Through the information provided by the Baji branch, Zhou Shan quickly found the corpse demon.

This corpse was resurrected and after massacring the whole family of the Immortal Temple, it came to the extremely yin place where it was born, where it absorbed the yin and corpse energy and increased its strength.

When Zhou Shan came to this extremely yin place, he saw the corpse demon that was absorbing yin energy to practice. It looked like a mummy, and its whole body was filled with extremely strong corpse energy.

"Roar!"

Seeing Zhou Shan appear in front of him, the corpse demon roared, and an extremely strong corpse evil aura emerged from his body. Then it condensed into a huge gray palm in the air and slapped Zhou Shan fiercely.

Corpse demons are not real living beings, but the life breath possessed by living beings has an extremely strong desire for corpse demons.

This strong desire is engraved in the bones, or in the soul genes, and it will instinctively kill living creatures and devour blood and life energy.

So wherever the corpse demon goes, it will bring death.

In ancient classics, corpse demon is synonymous with death.

Therefore, once a zombie demon appears, it must be eliminated.

Whether it is the demon clan or the corpse demon, these are the enemies of the human race.

When Zhou Shan appeared, the corpse demon felt the breath of life and immediately launched an attack. The giant gray palm condensed by Tianyin Corpse Demon struck Zhou Shan fiercely.

Tianyin Corpse Evil is a top-grade earth evil spirit. If it touches it, flesh and blood will wither and life will be extinguished. Moreover, Tianyin Corpse Evil also contains corpse poison, which is infinitely powerful.

Some powerful corpse demons can even transform living beings into low-level corpse demons through corpse poison, creating an army of corpse demons that is extremely terrifying.

Of course, the existence that can transform living beings into corpse demons must at least be comparable to the corpse demon king of the Danyuan realm. The corpse demons of the Earth Yuan and Tianyuan realms do not yet have this ability.

However, although Tianyin Corpse Evil is tyrannical, there are very few practitioners because Tianyin Corpse Evil is too overbearing and hurts others as well as itself. Even if Tianyin Corpse Demon is successfully refined and breaks through to the Earth Element Realm, the body will still be damaged. They will also gradually be eroded by the corpse evil, their vitality will be wiped out, their flesh and blood will become stiff, and their temperament and character will become gloomy and dark.

Therefore, when given a choice, no one would choose to refine Tianyin Corpse Evil.

"The true meaning of darkness!"

As Zhou Shan thought, a black sun rose from behind his head.

The big black sun emits endless black light.

Suddenly, the sky for thousands of meters in radius suddenly turned dark.

Zhou Shan has reached the perfection of the Earth Element Realm, with three hundred years of mana, and the true meaning of darkness has also reached the perfect state, far exceeding the power of the true meaning controlled by the corpse demon.

The giant gray palm that was shot towards Zhou Shan disappeared in an instant under the shroud of dark light.

Although the Tianyin Corpse Demon controlled by this corpse demon is also a top-grade Earth Demon, the gap between it and Zhou Shan in terms of mana and true meaning cultivation is too big. Under the suppression of the perfect dark true meaning, this corpse demon has nothing at all. The power of resistance.

Zhou Shan slashed out the black nightmare knife in his hand and cut off the head of the corpse demon.

Putting the corpse of the corpse demon into a mustard bag, the Purple Cloud Eagle carried Zhou Shan and flew high into the sky, quickly disappearing into the sky.

Baji Tianzong, mission hall.

Zhou Shan handed over the corpse demon's body and obtained 30,000 contribution points.

Currently, he has 230,000 contribution points.

Zhou Shan glanced at the task wall and continued to look for suitable tasks.

"Zhou Shan, I have a mission here." Seeing that Zhou Shan was ready to continue taking the mission, and that Zhou Shan could kill the corpse demon in the middle stage of the Earth Yuan realm, and his strength was recognized by the elders of the mission hall, he said: "Well, this mission is considered It’s my personal commission, I wonder if you are interested.”

"What mission?"

Zhou Shan asked.

"I come from the Baji Branch of the Daqing Dynasty. I also passed the examination with several senior brothers. However, during a mission, a senior brother named Ling died of serious injuries in order to save me. Before he died, I promised to take care of him. Senior Brother Ling's family." The elder of the mission hall said: "Now Senior Brother Ling's Ling family is in some trouble and is being targeted by a group of water thieves who possess Earth Yuan Realm venerables.

Although the Ling family also had a Earth Yuan realm sage sitting in charge, he was no match for the leader of the water thieves. He could only rely on formations to temporarily resist, so he sent a request for help through the Baji Tianzong, hoping to deal with the group of water thieves.

According to the news from the Baji branch, the cultivation level of the leader of the water thieves is in the middle stage of the Earth Yuan realm. I can't get away for the time being, so I entrust you to go to the Ling family of the Daqing Dynasty to deal with the water thieves.

After completing the task, I can give you 30,000 contribution points.

Moreover, if you destroy that group of water thieves, the wealth accumulated by that group of water thieves will also be quite a lot, and the total amount should be tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones.

Do you accept this task or not? "

"He's just the leader of the water thieves in the middle stage of the Earth Element Realm. I've accepted this mission."

After hearing the mission hall elder's introduction about the mission, Zhou Shan nodded.

This task is indeed not difficult for him.

As long as the leader of the water thieves is killed, the mission will be completed, and all the wealth after killing the leader of the water thieves will also belong to him.

"Okay, then I will transfer 30,000 contribution points to you first. You can go directly to the Ling family of the Daqing Dynasty. When you get to the Ling family, you can just tell me your name.

By the way, you can use my mount Qingfeng Lion. "

The elder of the mission hall nodded, then directly transferred the contribution points to Zhou Shan, and informed Zhou Shan of his real name.

This is a private commission from the elder of the mission hall, so Zhou Shan cannot go to the Beast Control Peak to receive the mount Purple Cloud Eagle for free. If he wants to use the Purple Cloud Eagle, he needs to spend additional contribution points. However, the elder of the mission hall will give his personal The mount Qingfengshi was temporarily lent to Zhou Shan.

Qingfeng Lion looks like a lion, its whole body is cyan, it has a pair of wings on its back, and its strength has reached the level of nine blood exchanges.

Demonic beasts with the strength of the Earth Yuan Realm are extremely rare in the Baji Tianzong. Basically, only the Martial Kings who have reached the Dan Yuan Realm can have Earth Yuan Realm monsters as mounts.

After all, it is extremely difficult to train wild Earth Yuan realm monsters. Most Earth Yuan realm monsters will not surrender to humans even if they die. Therefore, only monsters that have been raised since childhood and have broken through to the Earth Yuan realm will be used by humans.

Zhou Shan left the sect on the Green Wind Lion and headed for the Daqing Dynasty.

This Daqing Dynasty is an intermediate dynasty, and its strength is among the best among the intermediate dynasties. Compared with the Daliang Dynasty that Zhou Shan went to, the Dawu Dynasty is much stronger. Among the royal families of the Daqing Dynasty, there are sages who have reached the Tianyuan Realm.

The Ling family that Zhou Shan is going to has a venerable person who has reached the Earth Yuan realm. Although it is not the top power in the Daqing Dynasty, it can still be regarded as a powerful force. The Ling family is located in the Jiujiang waters, and the Ling family also belongs to One of the overlord-level forces.

The waters of Jiujiang are a huge lake, which can even be said to be an inland sea on land, with a diameter of more than ten thousand miles.

There are many small islands in the waters of Jiujiang.

There are human beings living on these small islands.

Although the Jiujiang waters are within the territory of the Daqing Dynasty, the people in the Jiujiang waters rely on the waters for survival and basically rarely interact with the outside world. Therefore, the Jiujiang waters are semi-isolated from the outside world.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhou Shan came to the sky above Linggui Island where the Ling family was located.

From a high altitude, this is an island that looks somewhat like a turtle.

The Green Wind Lion descended on the island.

"Where is the powerful person coming to our Spirit Turtle Island?"

The powerful aura exuded by the Green Wind Lion immediately attracted the attention of the Ling family warriors on Linggui Island. More than a dozen blood-changing realm masters rushed out and surrounded Zhou Shan.

Recently, water thieves have been attacking Linggui Island from time to time, so everyone in the Ling family is on alert, and there are patrol guards everywhere.

A demonic beast that had reached the level of nine blood exchanges arrived, and these Ling family warriors immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. However, the powerful pressure exuded by the Qingfeng Lion made the Ling family warriors' breathing stagnant, and they were unable to look directly at the person standing above the Qingfeng Lion. Zhou Shan is standing.

"Who are you, Your Excellency?"

A middle-aged man in blue robes arrived, with the ten-refined zhenqi of the nine-time great master surging in his body, forming a powerful force that could compete with Zhou Shan's mount Qingfeng Lion.

This person is Ling Tiejun, the head of the Ling family.

"Elder Zheng Xuan asked me to come."

Zhou Shan said lightly.

At the same time, Qingfeng Lion also calmed down.

The elder Zheng Xuan in Zhou Shankou is the elder of the mission hall.

At this time, Ling Tiejun, the head of the Ling family, also saw clearly Zhou Shan standing on the green wind lion, wearing the clothes of a true disciple of the Baji Tianzong.

"It turns out to be the Heavenly Sect Envoy." Hearing this, Ling Tiejun immediately showed a respectful look, and then immediately apologized: "In recent times, water thieves from the Blue Rainwater Thief Group have often appeared nearby, and even sneaked into the island to spy. According to the news, the warriors in the clan misunderstood the envoy as a water thief. I am here to apologize to the envoy and ask the envoy to blame me for his mistake."

Zhou Shan naturally would not blame these trivial matters, and said calmly: "Elder Zheng Xuan has received your Ling family's request for help. My mission here is to help your Ling family solve this crisis and kill the Lan Yuyu thief. The leader of the regiment.”

"Yes, I have to trouble the envoy to take action this time." Ling Tiejun said: "However, the Blue Rainwater Thieves are so elusive that it will take some time to find out the specific location of the Blue Rainwater Thieves. The envoy will first go to the clan to find out. I’ll let people prepare the banquet first.”

Ling Tiejun entertained Zhou Shan politely with a smile on his face.

Zhou Shan followed to the Ling family's residence.

Along the way, after talking with Ling Tiejun, the head of the Ling family, he also gained some understanding of the pattern of the Jiujiang waters.

The entire Jiujiang waters are nothing more than two forces.

One force was established by the families living on the small island, uniting caravans, fishermen, etc. to form water villages, and the other was naturally the water thieves who mainly focused on robbery.

To put it simply, it is the white way and the underworld.

The Linggui Village built by the Ling family is one of the top five powerful water villages in Jiujiang waters. The Ling family is respected by the Linggui Island as the center of the small islands with a radius of two thousand miles.

With the strength of the Ling family, ordinary water thieves in the Jiujiang waters do not dare to provoke. At most, they rob some small caravans and do not dare to approach Linggui Island at all. But this Blue Rainwater Thief Group is different. The fourth water thief group also has sages who have reached the Earth Element Realm, so they are not afraid of the Ling family and have attacked Linggui Island many times.

However, Ling Turtle Island is the home base of the Ling family and is equipped with formations. Therefore, even if the Blue Rainwater Thieves attacked Ling Turtle Island many times, they returned without any attack.

The Lanyuyu bandit group probably had an ulterior motive in attacking the Ling family.

But Ling Tiejun didn't take the initiative to mention it, and Zhou Shan didn't ask.

After a while, Zhou Shan came to Ling's house.

"The old man Ling Housheng has met the Heavenly Sect's envoy."

In front of the Ling family's mansion, the ancestor of the Ling family who received the news also greeted him at the door.

Ling Housheng, the ancestor of the Ling family, is the only Earth Yuan realm sage in the Ling family. He is over four hundred years old, has white hair, and holds a dragon-headed crutch in his hand.

The lifespan of a great master who has undergone nine blood exchanges is about four hundred years. After refining the earthly evil spirit and breaking through to the earthly realm, his body will be baptized by mana, and his lifespan will also increase accordingly.

However, the lifespan of a Venerable in the Earth Yuan Realm is about five hundred years. For a Venerable in the Earth Yuan Realm, more than four hundred years is already considered an advanced age.

"Cough cough cough..."

After saying that, Ling Housheng coughed a few times and blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Ancestor, are you okay?"

Seeing Ling Housheng vomiting blood, Ling Tiejun immediately stepped forward to hold Ling Housheng's arm.

"Some minor injuries, nothing serious for the time being." Ling Housheng waved his hand and said: "When the Heavenly Sect's envoy comes to the Ling family, I will naturally receive him."

"Since Senior Ling is injured, rest well and don't worry. I can handle the Blue Rainwater Thief Group." Zhou Shan said calmly: "There is no need for some false courtesy. You should find the Blue Rainwater Thief Group as soon as possible. Just inform me of the location when the time comes."

"Envoy Tianzong, please rest assured. We will definitely do our best to track down the whereabouts of the Lan Yuyue bandit group, and we will not keep Envoy Tianzong waiting for long."

Ling Tiejun said in a deep voice.

"Master, something serious has happened."

"The ships of the Blue Rainwater Thieves appeared ten miles away, and this time in addition to the Blue Rainwater Thieves, there were thirteen other groups of water thieves coming from all directions. It seems that this posture is going to destroy our Linggui Island. Surround."

"Among these thirteen water thief groups, in addition to the Blue Rainwater Thieves Group, there are also the Blood Soul Water Thieves Group and the Sky Python Water Thieves Group."

At this moment, a warrior immediately ran over to report.

"What, there are also the Blood Soul Water Thieves Group and the Sky Python Water Thieves Group!"

Hearing this, Ling Housheng and Ling Tiejun were immediately shocked.

In the waters of Jiujiang, there are six top water pirate groups.

These six top water thief groups all have Earth Yuan Realm sages at their command.

Among them, the Blue Rainwater Thieves Group ranked fourth, while the Blood Soul Water Thieves Group and the Sky Python Water Thieves Group ranked fifth and sixth.

Now that these three water pirate groups appeared together ten miles away from Linggui Island, it was definitely not a coincidence, but they came to target the Ling family.

The three major water pirate groups have three Earth Yuan Realm sages. Although they have Zhou Shan, the Heavenly Sect's envoy, as a foreign aid, Ling Housheng is injured and cannot exert much combat power at all.

Two against three.

The Ling family is in danger.
