Chapter 49: Receiving the Task

  Li Hui didn't hesitate to put away the jade slip marked with "God-slaying Technique". He had 600 merit points, only enough to exchange for the first layer of "God-slaying Technique".

  Li Hui continued browsing in the Daozang Hall.

  "Fierce Wind Sword", "Taiyi Wuying Sword", "Chi Xiao Jian Jue"...... What surprised Li Hui was that he found many more sword techniques and divine abilities, including some heavenly and earthly ranked sword techniques.

  These sword techniques and divine methods were even more attractive to Li Hui, who was on the path of the Sword Immortal. He stopped in his tracks and picked up one by one the corresponding jade slips.

  It was a long time before Li Hui withdrew his mind from these jade slips.

  "These sword techniques are indeed top-notch, and if one can cultivate them to the extreme, they would be enough to become a giant in their own right, looking down on the world. However, these sword techniques still differ from my Sword Immortal's Way." Li Hui's face showed a few shades of contemplation.

  "To put it simply, these sword techniques and divine abilities focus more on the 'technique' rather than the 'sword', with the sword being just a suitable weapon for displaying these techniques and divine abilities. They are still mainly based on internal energy cultivation techniques and divine abilities, with the sword only serving as an auxiliary tool to display these techniques and divine abilities. In contrast, my path of becoming a Sword Immortal is centered around the sword, with internal energy cultivation techniques and divine abilities being secondary, used only to enhance the power of the sword."

  Moreover, the swordsmanship contained within is far from comparable to "The Sword Treatise", but it's hard to say which one is inferior or superior. Because "The Three Chapters of the Way of the Sword" was created by Yuanhao himself, and he has a nearly obsessive madness for swords, so the skills and techniques he created are all centered around the sword.

  "But I am different, Yuan Hua Shizun has walked out of a unique sword immortal path with his own strength. Although the 'Heart Sword Chapter' is not finally completed, it already has a basic framework. On the basis of Yuan Hua Shizun, I will absorb the strengths of various schools and definitely walk out my own sword immortal path. These sword techniques and divine abilities also have great reference value."

  The ancient sword immortal Tao has long been lost, but various sword techniques and magical powers are still widely circulated. The flying sword is the most common spiritual artifact in the cultivation world. Yuan Huan Zhenren created "Sword Tao Three Chapters" based on his own understanding of the sword path, so why can't Li Hui create his own sword immortal Tao?

  Moreover, the "Heart Sword Chapter" that Li Hui currently possesses is only an incomplete and imperfect manual. However, as for the ultimate direction of the sword immortal's path pointed out by the "Heart Sword Chapter", Li Hui firmly believes in it without a doubt. At least among the various sword techniques and divine abilities he has seen so far, none of them have come closer to the ultimate truth of the sword path than what is proposed in the "Heart Sword Chapter".

  Skill is almost Tao, all laws return to the Tao, whether it's refining Qi, refining body or cultivating demon's Gongfa, ultimately for reaching the level of "Tao".

  The way of the sword is also a kind of Tao, and it is the most powerful attacking Tao. This point can be proven by many records about ancient sword immortals in the cultivation world. Although the way of the sword immortal has been lost, it has left behind eternal myths and legends.

  The legendary swordsmen are all lonely and cold, coming and going alone, killing people in anger, using swords to prove their way, invincible wherever they go, existing freely between heaven and earth.

  The attack power of the Sword Immortal is the most terrifying among the same ranks, and the Sword Immortal is also the one who cannot be provoked, which was a consensus in the cultivation world back then.

  However, the way of the sword immortal is also the most difficult path. Only cultivators with great courage and perseverance can achieve something by paying several times more effort than other cultivation sects. Therefore, the number of sword immortals has always been small. Moreover, sword immortals are fond of fighting, often stirring up bloody storms in the cultivation world. Later on, they slowly declined, even losing the true transmission of the sword immortal way.

  However, the swordsmanship and magical powers of later generations still retain some influence from the Sword Immortals' Tao. Even today, the most widespread spiritual artifacts in the Cultivation Realm are flying swords, which can also illustrate this point.

  Li Hui sighed inwardly, knowing that following Yuan Huan's footsteps and taking the path of a sword immortal would be extremely difficult. However, his determination remained unwavering, firmly believing he could become a true sword immortal.

  After putting these sword techniques back on the shelf, Li Hui continued to move forward. The huge amount of merit points required for these sword techniques, he didn't have enough merit points to exchange for now, but in his heart, he had already decided that he must exchange some sword techniques later to comprehend them.

  Next, Li Hui saw all sorts of strange and wonderful skills and divine abilities, including some that were similar to the "Dragon Elephant Golden Key" body-refining technique. There were also some miscellaneous auxiliary techniques and array methods.

  These Li Hui just took a look. At the same time, I also discovered a Xuan-level skill, Shentong. If it's only from the Qi-refining period to the foundation-building period, generally having 100 merit points is enough. But now I understand why when joining the Shenfeng Camp, they were told that their demon beast materials can be exchanged for a Xuan-level skill at the minimum. It refers to that part from the Qi-refining period to the foundation-building period. If you want something more advanced, then you can only complete the tasks released by the Shenfeng Camp to earn merit points.

  After finishing Gong Fa Shentong, Li Hui walked into the central area, where all sorts of spiritual instruments and treasures were stored.

  The lowest grade of spiritual equipment is also a high-grade spiritual equipment, while the grades of magical treasures are varied. Swords, sabers, axes, and halberds come in all shapes and sizes, and there are even some strange and unusual spiritual equipment and magical treasures that resemble scrolls, folding fans, pockets, gourds, and large seals.

  Li Hui had hoped to find a set of flying swords that were just as extraordinary, but in the end he returned empty-handed. It seems he can only think of a way to refine a set himself in the future.

  After turning around in the Treasure Hall for a while, these newly promoted Silver Vee's mostly chose some items based on their own merit values and then returned to the front hall together.

  Li Hui handed over the jade slip marked with "God-destroying Technique" and his own Silver Command, to a responsible monk, stating that he wanted to exchange for the first layer of "God-destroying Technique". The monk then handed Li Hui another jade slip, while deducting 500 merit points from him, and also took away the marked jade slip.

  After leaving Daocang Hall, everyone dispersed on their own.

  After becoming a Silver Vee, you can hold the Silver Vee Order to live in the residence provided by the headquarters of Shenfeng Camp, but without special circumstances, you can only stay for up to ten days.

  The spiritual energy of the Tianfeng Camp headquarters is exceptionally dense, several times denser than that of the Yuankuang Immortal Mansion. After all, this is a unique space opened up by a Great Perfection cultivator, and cultivating here will naturally be much faster. To stay in the Tianfeng Camp headquarters for an extended period, one can take on some work at the Merit Hall, such as working at the Dao Repository or the Merit Hall, which not only allows one to reside within the headquarters but also earn merit points.

  "What's your next plan, Li Hui?" Lou Sui Feng was walking alongside Li Hui.

  "Let's go to the Merit Hall first and see if there are any suitable tasks, then we can leave this place. How about you?" Li Hui thought for a moment before responding.

  "I think so too, let's go take a look at the Merit Hall together."

  The two of them walked towards the Merit Hall together. Other monks also went to the Merit Hall to receive their tasks.

  For a time, the Gongde Temple was bustling with excitement. After what seemed like an eternity, it was finally Li Hui and Lou Suifeng's turn to step forward, approaching a desk manned by a Jichu repair monk.

  "What tasks would you two Taoist brothers like to undertake?" The monk asked with a hint of a smile.

  "What kind of tasks are posted here?" Li Hui asked.

  "It's a long story, you two fellow Taoists should take a look for yourselves." The monk said, handing over two jade slips.

  Li Hui and Lou Suifeng each picked up one, and their spiritual consciousness entered it.

  The tasks released by the Gongde Temple are indeed diverse. For example, they require secretly infiltrating a sect to monitor, going to a certain Shenfeng Camp branch for garrison duty, pursuing and killing a gang that killed people and looted goods in Ziwai City and then escaped, etc.

  "Can we hand in our task at a different branch after completing it if we receive the task at headquarters?" Lou Suifeng suddenly asked.

  "Whether it's a task received at headquarters or another branch, after completion, you can take the relevant certificate to any branch to hand over the task." The monk replied.

  Lou nodded with the wind, but was somewhat pleased to say to Li Hui: "Li Hui, take a look at this task that requires two or more people to hunt down and kill a group of fugitive criminals who have looted the spiritual stone mine under the Purple Wei Palace."

  Li Hui's heart moved slightly, and with a glance at the jade slip, he discovered the detailed information of this task.

  Originally, a group of more than 50 foundation-building cultivators had robbed a small spirit stone mine under the jurisdiction of the Ziwei Palace. The mine was guarded by only about a dozen foundation-building cultivators, so it was easily taken over by this group. Afterwards, they have been fleeing and according to the information on the jade slip, they should now be hiding in Tianhu City.

  This task requires two or more Silvers to work together to complete, requiring the entire gang to be captured or killed, and most importantly, the stolen Spirit Stone must be recovered.

  After completing the task, a total of 10,000 points of merit value can be obtained. If two people complete it together, each person gets 5,000 points of merit value.
