Early morning.
Fang Han slowly exited from the deep state of cultivation. As his eyes opened and closed, a wisp of light blue light flashed away.
He took out Identity Jade Token, and a trace of Internal Qi entered. The surface of the jade plate shimmered with light, revealing the number "fifty".
"Fifty o'clock..."
Fang Han whispered to himself, frowning slightly and slightly.
This month, he once again received 30 points of basic benefits, but the purchase of Foundation Cultivation Pill for cultivation cost ten points.
The efficacy of one pill of Foundation Cultivation Pill can last for three days, and ten pills of Foundation Cultivation Pill are needed in a month.
The remaining twenty points, plus the thirty points remaining from last month, make a total of fifty points.
The cultivation of <Gentle Wind Sword Art> is only one step away from the Perfection Realm, and it is imminent to redeem it for Medium Grade Sword Technique.
But a Medium Grade Sword Technique requires at least hundreds of contribution points, and there is still a gap of at least fifty points.
"You have to do tasks to earn contribution points!"
Fang Han took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Qianjun's threat is like a sword hanging from the top, but the lack of contribution value also restricts his growth.
He must find a way to earn contribution points, even with the threat of Zhao Qianjun.
Just be careful when selecting tasks. You must choose the kind of tasks that Zhao Qianjun has no chance to play.
But he was not sure whether he could encounter such a mission, so he decided to try his luck at the Mission Hall.
After tidying up her robes, Fang Han opened the door and felt the coolness of the early morning blowing into her face.
He walked out of Zi Courtyard with steady steps, his eyes sweeping across seemingly casually.
Sure enough, under an old tree in the distance, the handyman Li Shan was holding a broom and pretending to sweep, but his eyes seemed to be glancing towards him.
Fang Han sneered in his heart, but kept a calm expression on his face, as if he was completely unaware and walked straight in the direction of the Mission Hall.
The moment his figure disappeared around the corner of the road, Li Shan immediately threw down his broom and hurriedly ran in the direction of Yin Courtyard.
Yin Courtyard, Grade B No. 13 In the room.
Zhao Qianjun was sitting cross-legged on the futon, his brows furrowed, and his whole body Internal Qi seemed a little restless.
It's been a month!
Fang Han That kid hasn't taken on another mission since he took it once. He stayed in Zi Courtyard all day long, leaving him with nothing to make plans but nowhere to start.
"Dong dong dong!" A rapid knock on the door sounded.
Zhao Qianjun opened his eyes suddenly, a stern look flashed in his eyes. "Come in!"
Li Shan pushed the door open with a flattering and eager look on his face. "Senior Brother Zhao, that Fang Han just left Zi Courtyard and went in the direction of the Mission Hall!"
"Finally, I'm going to take on another mission!"
Zhao Qianjun stood up suddenly, his face instantly turned cloudy, revealing a hint of joy.
He grabbed the long sword on the table, threw a heavy piece of silver to Li San, and said.
"Well done!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the room and rushed towards the Mission Hall.
Mission Hall is crowded with people.
Fang Han carefully browsed the hanging wooden task boards, looking for tasks that suited him.
After a long time, he finally found a suitable task.
"Guard Beast Garden District 9, stationed for one month, and the reward will be 60 contribution points..."
Fang Han looks at this task.
The contribution value is only 60 points a month, and the average contribution value is only two points a day, which is far inferior to the task of escorting medicinal materials that I received before.
But the advantage is that Beast Garden is located within the Azure Profound Sect, so there is no need to leave the sect.
Zhao Qianjun No matter how courageous he is, he will never dare to attack him in the sect.
"Another advantage is that you have free time!"
Fang Han After reading the description of the entire task, I found that although this task takes a long time, the time is relatively free.
After the routine daily patrol, the rest of the time is completely at your disposal, as long as you don't leave Beast Garden.
"That's it."
Fang Han no longer hesitated, walked to the registration desk and handed over Identity Jade Token.
"Deacon, I accept the task of guarding Beast Garden."
Registration Deacon took the jade token, scratched it on a black inkstone-like object, recorded the information and handed it back to him.
"The mission period is one month, starting from today. You can go and report now."
"Thank you Deacon."
Fang Han took the ID badge and mission certificate, turned around and was about to leave.
Out of the corner of my eye, I happened to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure hurriedly stepping into the door of the Mission Hall. It was none other than Zhao Qianjun.
As soon as Zhao Qianjun entered Mission Hall, his eyes scanned like a hawk and quickly locked on Fang Han.
When he saw Fang Han standing alone near the registration office, as if he had just completed the formalities, he felt happy at first:
"It is indeed a person! The opportunity has come!"
He suppressed his excitement and pretended to approach casually, wanting to see clearly what mission Fang Han had accepted.
When his eyes glanced at the mission voucher marked "Beast Garden" in Fang Han's hand, the joy in his heart solidified instantly, and then turned to disappointment and anger.
"Guard Beast Garden? The mission location is within the sect?!"
Zhao Qianjun almost gritted his teeth and cursed secretly in his heart.
"This kid... is really a tortoise. He actually takes on a task like this while staying in the sect. How much contribution does he make in a month? I really don't know what he's doing!"
He waited for a full month, but what he waited for was this result.
There are many masters in the sect. If you want to take action within the sect, you are simply seeking death.
The strong disappointment made his face look a little ugly, and he stared at Fang Han's back with a sinister look in his eyes, then turned and left.
Fang Han quietly observed Zhao Qianjun and noticed the fleeting disappointment on Zhao Qianjun's face.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he left Mission Hall without looking back.
Following the map guide, Fang Han soon arrived at Beast Garden located in the mountain area behind Azure Profound Mountain.
Beast Garden occupies a very large area and is divided into multiple areas. It is surrounded by a tall Iron Wood fence that is as hard as iron. There are faint sounds of various beasts roaring and birdsong, and the air is filled with a faint fishy smell and the smell of vegetation.
Reporting from the hut at the entrance of Beast Garden, a Deacon named Zhang Qian briefly explained the task.
"District Nine raises some herbivorous monsters with relatively docile temperaments and weak strength. Your task is to patrol once a day in the morning and evening to check whether the Iron Wood fence is damaged and to pay attention to whether there are any abnormalities in the monsters."
"If nothing happens, you can make your own arrangements at other times, but you are not allowed to leave the Beast Garden area without permission. This is your temporary pass token and contact whistle. You can blow the whistle in case of emergency."
"Disciple understands."
Fang Han took the token and a bone whistle. As he expected, this task had a high degree of freedom.
After being assigned to a simple stone house in District Nine as a residence, Fang Han began his first patrol.
District Nine has a quiet environment with lush vegetation. A group of "Green-Horned Deer" that look like elk but have a single horn are leisurely eating special forage. Several "Colorful-Feathered Chicken" with bright feathers are walking in the forest.
Everything looks calm and peaceful.
After completing the patrol, Fang Han returned to the stone house and started practicing without any distractions.
Although it is a simple place, it is better than being quiet.
He took a Foundation Cultivation Pill, ran <Wind-Following Art>, and felt the steady growth of Internal Qi on the basis of Ninth-rank middle stage.
As the days passed, Fang Han's life became very regular: patrolling, practicing, patrolling again, and practicing again.
Occasionally, the roars of beasts can be heard from other areas, but District Nine is always peaceful.
The accumulation of contribution points is slow, but the advantage is that it does not affect practice. With daily practice, <Gentle Wind Sword Art> has touched the bottleneck of the Perfection Realm, and may break through to the Perfection Realm at any time.
It was night, the moon was hidden, the stars were sinking, and dark clouds were gathering.
The muffled thunder sounded from far to near, and the air was filled with a moist earthy smell.
Late at night, Fang Han was sleeping soundly in the stone house when he was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door and the panicked shout of a servant:
"Senior Brother Fang, Senior Brother Fang, wake up quickly, something happened!"
Fang Han woke up instantly, got out of bed, and opened the door.
Outside the door was a young handyman who was soaked to the skin and had a panicked face. Rain was dripping down his hair.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Han asked in a deep voice, with an ominous premonition rising in his heart.
The handyman gasped, pointing in a direction deep in East District, his voice trembling:
"A demonic cow was frightened by thunder and lightning, broke through the Iron Wood fence, and rushed out!"
"A demonic cow broke out of the Iron Wood fence? Where is it? Please lead me quickly!"
Fang Han's complexion changed and he asked the handyman to lead the way.
The night was dark and the rain was pouring.
In the distant sky, pale electric snakes tear through the darkness from time to time, briefly illuminating the mountains and forests, followed closely by the muffled sound of rolling thunder, which makes people's eardrums numb.
Fang Han followed the young handyman and rushed into the rain. The cold rain instantly soaked through the disciples' uniforms and clung to their skin, causing waves of chills.
"It's just in front of the forest near the edge East District!"
The voice of the young handyman was intermittent in the wind and rain.
Fang Han remained silent, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, penetrating the rain curtain and scanning the dark woodland ahead.
The air is filled with a strong earthy smell, the fresh smell of vegetation, and a hint of the unique smell of monsters.
After crossing a slope, the scene ahead comes into view--
Several Iron Wood fences, which were as thick as bowls and as hard as steel, were broken. The wood stubble at the fractures was ferocious, and it was obvious that they had been forcibly broken through by huge force.
Inside the fence, the originally neat animal pen was in a mess. Green-Horned Deer was huddled in the corner in fright, making uneasy screams.
Outside the fence, in the open space near the edge of the forest, a sturdy black figure was pawing its hooves anxiously, breathing heavily and spitting out white mist.
It's the escaping demon bull!
This cow is nearly half the size of an ordinary farm cow. Its entire body is covered with Dark Cyan thick skin, its muscles are rugged, and it is full of explosive power.
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of curved black horns on its head. The tips of the horns shine with a cold, metallic sheen under the occasional flash of lightning.
A pair of bull's eyes as big as copper bells were red, full of mania and violence after being frightened.
"Azure Wood Demon Ox, the adult physical strength is about Ninth-rank middle stage..."
Fang Han's mind quickly flashed through the records he had read in the Library Pavilion's miscellaneous books.
This kind of monster has a relatively gentle temperament and is good at brute force and defense, but it is also extremely dangerous if it gets frightened and goes crazy.
"Fang, Senior Brother Fang... right there!"
The young handyman hid behind a tree, his voice trembled, and he pointed at the demonic cow, the color drained from his face.
"I've seen it, please stay away!"
Fang Han nodded slightly, his eyes locked on the demon cow, his eyes calm.
Ninth-rank middle stage's monster, with his current Ninth-rank middle stage cultivation, and the Greater Accomplishment level <Gentle Wind Sword Art>, it is not difficult to kill him head-on.
But the difficulty lies in catching it alive.
This demonic cow was kept in captivity by the sect and belonged to the sect. Naturally, it could not be killed at will, but had to be captured alive.
The tricky thing is that fists and kicks are the best way to capture him alive, but he is not good at fists and kicks.
