The next day, Fang Chen woke up early in the morning. After visiting the injured Xiao Shan, he went to the Mission Hall.
In the Qingfeng Sword Sect, there was a Mission Hall that specialized in giving out missions. After completing a mission, one could obtain spirit stones, elixirs, or contribution points. In short, if one wanted to obtain better resources, doing missions was a shortcut.
In the Mission Hall, people came and went. They were all outer sect disciples. When Fang Chen entered the Mission Hall, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
All the outer sect disciples were staring at Fang Chen and whispering. Obviously, the battle three days ago had spread throughout the outer sect of the Qingfeng Sword Sect.
"He's the trash Fang Chen?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Fang Chen is not trash. Just three days ago, Fang Chen chopped off Liang Yong's arm in front of Wen Zhengyun."
"Hmm, didn't Liang Yong reach the peak of the Second Level Qi Cultivation Realm? When did Fang Chen become so strong?"
"I don't know. Half a month ago, Liang Yong almost killed Fang Chen. Maybe Fang Chen was enlightened."
Many disciples were whispering. Some of the disciples who had not seen Fang Chen fight with Liang Yong were inquiring curiously.
Of course, even more disciples were gloating because they knew that Fang Chen had offended Ye Lin and Wen Zhengyun. Even if his strength had increased, he could forget about staying in the outer sect.
Fang Chen naturally heard the whispers of the crowd. He shook his head slightly and sighed. "Strength is the most important."
If it was before, all the disciples would call him trash when they saw him.
But three days ago, after he displayed his strength, these disciples no longer dared to call him trash. This was a world where the strong were respected.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen clenched his fists tightly. He swore to himself that he would definitely increase his strength and let all the martial artists who had insulted him receive the punishment they deserved.
Fang Chen ignored the crowd and looked at the missions. In the end, he chose a relatively simple mission.
Mission Details: Kill a Third Lv Qi Refining Stage demonic beast for a reward of 100 low-grade spiritual stones.
The reason why he accepted this mission was because there were demonic beasts at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm in the Blackwind Mountain Range, which coincided with Fang Chen's destination.
Spirit stones were the common currency of the Ancient Sword Continent. Moreover, spirit stones could also be used for cultivation.
Spiritual Stones contained some Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Some rich kids used large amounts of Spiritual Stones to cultivate.
Of course, those martial artists with low strength and no background did not receive such treatment.
In the eyes of the outer court disciples, 100 low-grade Spiritual Stones was not a small amount. It could even be used to purchase some medicinal pills.
After accepting the quest, Fang Chen left immediately.
The Blackwind Mountain Range was not far from the Azure Edge Sword Sect. Fang Chen used half a day to reach the entrance of the Blackwind Mountain Range.
Standing on the plains, Fang Chen looked at the Blackwind Mountain Range in front of him and pondered.
"This is the Black Wind Mountain Range."
Fang Chen said softly. With a tap of his foot, he stepped into the Blackwind Mountain Range.
As soon as he entered the Blackwind Mountain Range, Fang Chen felt a pressure coming from all directions.
Fang Chen thought for a moment and said, "It is said that the outer area of the Blackwind Mountain Range is filled with demonic beasts at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm. The inner area has demonic beasts at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm. In the core area, there are even demonic beasts at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm."
To the current Fang Chen, demonic beasts at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm were nothing to be afraid of. He could even fight against demonic beasts at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.
However, demonic beasts at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm were equivalent to inner court disciples of the Azure Edge Sword Sect. Fang Chen could not defeat them.
"Let's get used to the outer area first."
After saying that, Fang Chen disappeared into the Blackwind Mountain Range in a flash.
In an open space in the Blackwind Mountain Range, a man was walking briskly.
However, after walking for a short while, a roar suddenly came from behind him. Following that, a huge demonic beast appeared.
"Roar!"
The demonic beast roared at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen looked at the demonic beast and said, "It's actually an Ironback Bear. Although this guy is only at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, its defense is very strong."
However, Fang Chen was not afraid. He held his long sword and directly used the One Aura Sword.
Xiu!
The long sword danced and the sword flashed.
A cold sword light instantly shot out and struck the head of the Iron-back Bear, making a clanging sound.
The Ironback Bear retreated a few steps and blocked the One Aura Sword attack. Its face was ferocious and it roared loudly, wanting to tear Fang Chen to shreds.
"Roar!"
The Ironback Bear opened its claws and directly attacked Fang Chen.
"One Aura Sword."
Fang Chen used the One Aura Sword again. At the same time, Fang Chen moved his feet and quickly dodged.
Bang! Bang!
After a series of collisions, the Ironback Bear was finally killed by Fang Chen.
After killing the Ironback Bear, Fang Chen quickly left the place.
"Looks like I need to buy a spatial ring when I go back. The corpse of the Ironback Bear can also be sold for some Spiritual Stones. Unfortunately, it's too big and can't be taken away."
Fang Chen said as he walked.
After walking for a while, Fang Chen found a relatively safe place and sat down cross-legged.
"The One Aura Sword's level is too low. If I want to kill a third level Qi Refining Realm demonic beast, I have to master the Golden Light Sword Technique."
Fang Chen said softly.
Then, Fang Chen's mind flashed and the chant of the Golden Light Sword Technique appeared.
Then, Fang Chen began to cultivate.
Fang Chen immersed himself in cultivating the Golden Light Sword Technique. In his body, the golden heart beat rapidly again and a clear stream of energy flowed out.
Then, Fang Chen felt that he had comprehended the essence of the Golden Light Sword Technique.
"As expected."
Fang Chen was no longer surprised by this scene.
With the help of the golden heart, Fang Chen's cultivation of the Golden Light Sword Technique was much faster.
Time passed by slowly. After an hour, Fang Chen finally opened his eyes.
At this moment, Fang Chen's face was full of smiles.
This was because he had successfully cultivated the Golden Light Sword Technique.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen stood up abruptly. Holding the long sword in his hand, he performed the Golden Light Sword Technique according to the chant in his mind.
The first move of the Golden Light Sword Technique.
Whoosh!
The surrounding Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth was absorbed into Fang Chen's body and into the long sword.
In the next moment, a spot of light appeared on the tip of the long sword. This spot of light contained a powerful aura.
Puchi!
Suddenly, Fang Chen's wrist shook and he performed the first move of the Golden Light Sword Technique. A ray of golden sword light appeared from the long sword and shot into a towering ancient tree in the distance.
Crack!
When Fang Chen put away the long sword, the towering ancient tree in the distance rotted from the inside and exploded.
Fang Chen's eyes lit up. He did not expect the Golden Light Sword Technique to be so powerful.
The Golden Light Sword Technique was an ordinary technique. It was much more powerful than the One Breath Sword.
At this moment, Fang Chen finally understood why the Guardian Elder said that he had to cultivate the One Breath Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm in order to cultivate the Golden Light Sword Technique.
This was because Fang Chen had used the chant of the One Breath Sword to complement the Golden Light Sword Technique when he had just condensed the golden sword light.
It could be said that Fang Chen was able to cultivate the Golden Light Sword Technique in such a short time because of the golden heart and the One Breath Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm.
"Now that I have successfully cultivated the first move of the Golden Light Sword Technique, I can at least defeat a disciple who has just advanced to Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm," Fang Chen said with a smile.
After his strength had increased, Fang Chen spent the next few days carefully searching for the Black Spirit Grass.
If Xiao Shan's internal organs were damaged and could not be cured, it would affect his martial arts future. As Xiao Shan's best friend, Fang Chen would definitely do his best to search for it.
However, five days had passed and there was not a single clue about the Black Spirit Grass.
In these five days, Fang Chen encountered many beasts at Lv 2 Qi Cultivation Realm. However, when he used the Golden Light Sword Technique, these beasts could not withstand it at all.
Finally, five days had passed and Fang Chen had searched the outer perimeter. There was no Black Spirit Grass.
On this day, Fang Chen decided to enter the inner perimeter.
In the inner perimeter, there were many beasts at Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm. Fang Chen knew that it was a little rash, but he had to enter.
At this moment, on the ground overgrown with weeds in the inner perimeter, five martial artists were fighting a beast.
This beast was a Saber-Toothed Tiger at Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm. It was abnormally strong.
Among the martial artists surrounding the Saber-Toothed Tiger, four were at Lv 2 Qi Cultivation Realm and one was at Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm.
Even with the five of them working together, it was still a little difficult to deal with the Saber-Toothed Tiger.
"Senior Brother Jin, this Saber-Toothed Tiger's attacks are too strong. If this continues, our team will definitely be defeated," a disciple said.
The man called Senior Brother Jin frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "The four of you, help me block the Saber-Toothed Tiger."
Hearing Senior Brother Jin's words, the four disciples used all their strength to surround the Saber-Toothed Tiger. However, their attacks were insignificant to the Saber-Toothed Tiger.
Roar!
The Saber-Toothed Tiger let out a furious roar and stretched out its huge claws. The four disciples at Lv 2 Qi Cultivation Realm were instantly sent flying.
It was also at this moment that a frightening light appeared. Behind the light was Senior Brother Jin.
"Evil beast, go to hell!"
Senior Brother Jin roared. His fist carried an extremely powerful aura as it directly landed on the Saber-Toothed Tiger's body.
Bang!
Senior Brother Jin used some kind of secret technique to increase his combat strength. He directly sent the Saber-Toothed Tiger flying with one punch, causing it to be severely injured.
"Let's go together and kill the Saber-Toothed Tiger," Senior Brother Jin roared weakly.
The Saber-Toothed Tiger seemed to have sensed a trace of danger. It let out a long roar, turned around, and ran.
"Damn it, don't let it escape," Senior Brother Jin roared.
