For the next couple of days, Lu Li cultivated in the Guest Clan.
Apart from reading, Lu Ling was chatting with Cheng Qu's wife, the Guest Clan Patriarch.
Cheng Qu's wife was infertile. Lu Ling was well-behaved and sensible. Both Cheng Qu and his wife liked her very much.
Lu Li was happy to find that Lu Ling and Cheng Qu's wife were on good terms. He cultivated all day long and Lu Ling was lonely. It was good to have someone to talk to.
The Wu Ling County had been particularly quiet recently. The Zhao Family had awakened a Bloodline of the Fifth Rank. The Zhao Family had been keeping a low profile these days. Disciples of the Zhao Family were not allowed to go out, not to mention having conflicts with the Liu Family.
There was still no news from the Frigid Cloud Mountain. It was said that the battle between the super families and the Beast King had reached the most critical moment. Perhaps they would be able to kill the Beast King soon. Perhaps the super families were forcefully suppressing the Liu Family and did not want to cause more trouble.
Chief Patriarch didn't send any message, so the Liu Family didn't send any warriors to reinforce the Frigid Cloud Mountain.
The fact that the Liu Family had awakened a Fourth Rank Bloodline was something to be happy about. They were probably thinking of ways to nurture that child.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Lu Li came out from his closed-door cultivation, but it was not because he had reached the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm. In half a month, he had only opened up two and a half energy channels, and there was one and a half energy channel yet to be opened up.
He came out because Little White ran out of food!
The little white critter's appetite was too big. It had already eaten all the abandoned profound artifacts, so it was probably starving to the point of panicking. Thus, it began to covet the Heavenly Kylin Blade again.
If it were not for the fact that Lu Ling had noticed, the Heaven Kylin Sword would have been bitten off …
Looking at Little White's pitiful eyes, Lu Li clenched his teeth and exchanged the remaining 300 contribution points for abandoned Xuan Artifacts. Then he brought back more than a dozen abandoned Xuan Artifacts.
The more than a dozen abandoned Xuan Artifacts would only be enough for Little White to eat for seven or eight days. Lu Li thought about it and found Cheng Qu. He asked, "Patriarch Cheng, how do I earn contribution points?"
There were many abandoned Xuan Artifacts in the Hall of Weapons, enough for Little White to eat for more than half a year. The problem was that they all needed contribution points, so Lu Li had to beg.
"Contribution points are very simple!"
Cheng Qu explained, "Every clan has a mission hall. You can accept missions, and the clan will naturally give you contribution points after you complete them.
For example, you can go to the watchtower and stand guard. You'll get two contribution points a day. "
"Two …"
Lu Li rolled his eyes. Even if he stood guard for a few days, he wouldn't be able to feed Little White once.
He thanked Cheng Qu and went to the Hall of Mission in the middle courtyard of the Liu Family. Although Little White's food was enough for seven to eight days, he had to plan ahead. Otherwise, the Heaven Kylin Sword would be eaten by Little White sooner or later.
The Mission Hall was also overseen by a grey-haired old man. His combat strength was not strong, but his seniority was probably quite high.
Seeing that Lu Li was a Guest Warrior of the Guest Clan, he didn't even smile. He squinted at Lu Li and asked, "What mission do you want to take?"
Lu Li cupped his fists and politely said, "Lord, are there any quests in the city with high contribution points?"
The grey haired old man grunted coldly and said, "Do you think Contribution Points can be obtained for free?
If he didn't work hard, how could he get so many contribution points?
Right now, the mission with the highest contribution points in the city is to monitor the Zhao family. If you get any useful information, you'll get 100 contribution points. If there's no information, you'll get 2 contribution points per day. "
"Two a day?"
Lu Li rubbed his nose. How was he supposed to get any useful information?
Unless he sneaked into the Zhao Family's mansion to investigate, but once he did, he would probably be instantly surrounded and killed.
Unwilling to give up, he asked, "Sir, are there no other missions?"
"Yes!"
The grey haired old man threw the mission file to Lu Li and said, "The missions in here, as long as you can complete them, will be worth more than 1000 contribution points. Do you have the guts to take them?"
Lu Li took it over and his expressions changed. The missions here did have high contribution points, but could they be completed by humans?
"Dig out Earth Jade Crystals at the edge of the Ice Abyss, 10,000 contribution points …"
"Get the Bone Burying Mountain at the north of the Ice Abyss. Venom of Fourth-rank Xuan Beast Silver-striped Snake, 10,000 contribution points."
"Get Heaven Fire Lotus at the Heaven Fire Mountain, 3000 contribution points per plant …"
The more Lu Li read, the more speechless he was. What the hell were these missions? Not even the Chief Patriarch of the Liu Family dared to get close to the edge of the Ice Abyss, let alone the Chief Patriarch of the Liu Family.
That was the sphere of influence of the Beast King.
Fourth-rank Xuan Beast Silver-striped Snake was comparable to a human warrior of the Fate Wheel Realm. What was the difference between getting its venom and committing suicide?
The Heaven Fire Mountain was a volcano. It erupted all year round. Anyone who touched the boiling lava would die.
Also, Lu Li's power could not go up. Once he got close, the horrifying heat would burn him into ashes.
Lu Li read on patiently, trying to find a relatively safe mission with enough contribution points.
However, after reading for a long time, he realized that none of the missions were ones that he could complete. If he were to take one based on his power, he would die for sure.
"Eh?
This mission seems good! "
Lu Li's eyes suddenly lit up as he found a good one. "Go to the Red Stone Mountain and steal the eggs of the Red Phosphorus Hawks. 500 contribution points per egg."
Red Phosphorus Hawks!
Lu Li once fought with Liu Yi and the others. The Red Phosphorus Hawks were not that powerful.
However, they were social animals. If Lu Li went to their nest to steal eggs, he would be hunted down by a large group of Red Phosphorus Hawks.
Also, the Red Stone Mountain was the gathering place of Stone Rats. It was said that Stone Rats and Red Phosphorus Hawks liked to fight against enemies together. By then, there would be Xuan Beasts everywhere, and he would be bitten to death alive …
Lu Li had heard about the Red Stone Mountain. It was 300 miles to the north of the Frigid Cloud Valley. There was still a long way to go to the Ice Abyss.
Theoretically speaking, there should be powerful warriors of different families guarding nearby. There shouldn't be any powerful Xuan Beasts.
Lu Li was in a dilemma. It was dangerous to go to the Red Stone Mountain. On the off chance that he ran into Di Ba, he would be hunted to death.
The problem was that if he didn't accept missions, he wouldn't have any contribution points. How was he going to feed Little White?
Little White was obviously a high level Xuan Beast, and it was very obedient. Now that it was wholeheartedly following him, it would be a great help to him in the future.
"Why are you scared?"
Seeing Lu Li holding the file in his hands, the grey-haired old man sneered and said, "You young people, biting off more than you can chew.
You don't have a diamond, yet you want to do porcelain work?
Get lost, don't waste my time. "
Lu Li was a little angry when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take this quest!"
The grey-haired old man was surprised. His eyes flickered as he asked, "Are you sure?
Once you accept this mission, you must complete it. If you give up, you'll lose 100 contribution points. Are you sure about that? "
"I've thought it through!" Lu Li forced himself to say.
"Alright!"
The grey-haired old man asked for Lu Li's ID Token and recorded it down. After that, he took out a map for Lu Li and said, "This is the map to the Red Stone Mountain. You must complete the task within a month.
Go, I hope you can come back alive. "
Lu Li left with the map. He went back to the Guest Clan and told Lu Ling about it.
At first, he thought that Lu Ling would blame him, but to his surprise, Lu Ling nodded and said, "It's good to go out. All warriors have to fight constantly. Only by experiencing life and death can they become powerful.
The moment you choose to become a warrior, you must be prepared for death. "
"These words were left by my father. What I want to tell you is — don't just rely on brute force in a fight. You must use your brain.
Also, don't give up so easily. Even if you know you are going to die, don't give up!
If you die, I won't let you go alone. I will go with you to the Underworld Realm. "
"Sister ~"
Lu Li's eyes reddened. He grabbed Lu Ling's hands and started sobbing.
At this moment, he bore Lu Ling's words in his mind, especially that he should not give up so easily under any circumstances.
