The Sheep Island Mission

A month later, it became extremely difficult to find even a second-tier aquatic Demon Beast within a radius of hundreds of miles of sea.

Song Wen was worried that the Gu Worm' hunting of Demon Beast would attract the attention of other Golden Core cultivators, so he had no choice but to stop this behavior.

But in just one month, the six Shadow Gu earned him nearly tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

This gave Song Wen a way to make money.

He came up with a plan to hunt demons: use the Demon-Luring Powder to lure the Demon Beast, and then let the Shadow Gu surround and kill them.

Several days later, Song Wen arrived at a very remote island.

The Demon-Luring Powder must be refined and used immediately.

He then set up a furnace on the island to refine a second-tier Demon-Luring Powder.

The Pill Formula for the second-tier Demon-Luring Powder was obtained by Song Wen from the Beast Taming Sect, but he did not have the Pill Formula for the third-tier Demon-Luring Powder.

The Sea of Disorder also has a similar elixir called Demon-Luring Incense. However, the Third-Grade Demon-Luring Incense Pill Formula are controlled by powerful forces, and their management is extremely strict. Song Wen has never been able to obtain one.

After refining the Demon-Luring Powder- Demon-Luring Powder, he placed it into a specially made jade box with a small hole in it, through which the Demon-Luring Powder could be slowly released.

Six Shadow Gu carrying the jade box swam into the depths of the sea, securing the jade box to the underwater rocks of the small island. The Shadow Gu hid within the rocks, waiting for the Demon Beast to take the bait.

The Shadow Gu doesn't care whether the Demon Beast are first-tier or second-tier; all the Demon Beast it attracts are wiped out in one fell swoop.

In his temporary cave abode on the small island, Song Wen was busy refining the Demon-Luring Powder.

Half a month later, Song Wen left the island with the corpses of over fifty second-tier Demon Beast and over a hundred first-tier Demon Beasts.

These Demon Beast corpses sold for nearly 100,000 Spirit Stone, enough for Song Wen to use for a while.

Time passed slowly as they cultivated and hunted Demon Beast.

Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Relying on his Alchemy skills, Song Wen gradually gained a foothold on Limitless Island.

During this time, Song Wen bought a Netherworld Stone from Chu Qian.

Including the Netherworld Stone he had obtained earlier, he now possessed a total of six Netherworld Stones. After Netherworld Stones, the Ghost King's cultivation level rose to the mid-stage of the third rank.

Song Wen's cultivation level has also improved considerably, but he still needs at least ten more years of arduous cultivation to reach the bottleneck of the Golden Core Early Stage, which is due to his long-term consumption of Blood Spirit Pill.

It would take a cultivator with an ordinary Sixth-Grade Spiritual Root at least several decades, or even a hundred years, to break through from the Golden Core Early Stage to the Middle Golden Core Stage.

That day.

While Song Wen was cultivating, he received a message from An Tong.

[Senior, news has arrived from the Starline Formation.]

This was the first time Song Wen had received a message from Limitless Island in the nine years since he joined the Limitless Island.

When Song Wen arrived at the two women's cave abode, the two women stood gracefully at the cave abode, waiting for Song Wen.

These two women are twin sisters, but their abilities are vastly different.

The younger sister, An Yin, is far more talented than her older sister; she has already Qi Refinement Peak of Qi Refining.

During those nine years, Song Wen only had a few interactions with the two women, mostly when they asked Song Wen to help them buy some spiritual herbs and elixirs.

The Spirit Stone used to purchase these items came from a spirit field that the two women had cultivated themselves.

The island is rich in Spiritual Qi, and the spirit medicine planted in the spiritual fields are growing very well. The two women take good care of the spiritual fields and have earned tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in just nine years.

These Spirit Stone were more than enough to meet the daily cultivation needs of the two Qi Refining Stage cultivators.

This gave Song Wen the idea of helping An Yin Foundation Establishment. If he had a Foundation Establishment cultivator under his command, he wouldn't have to do many things personally, which would save a lot of time.

For example, Song Wen has to go to Limitless Island every month to buy spiritual materials for Alchemy and cultivation, pick up suitable tasks from the mission hall, and occasionally negotiate with Chu Qian, all of which take up a lot of time.

If An Yin can Foundation Establishment, and a Shadow Gu is placed inside her, her safety along the way can be guaranteed. At the same time, it can also be used to monitor her.

From now on, these things can be left to her to handle.

Song Wen will then have more time to cultivate.

However, in doing so, it's inevitable that An Yin will learn some of Song Wen's secrets.

However, as long as Song Wen allows a Shadow Gu to lurk on An Yin each time she leaves the island, she doesn't need to worry that An Yin will have a chance to leak his secret.

If she makes the slightest mistake, the Shadow Gu will kill her.

After advancing to the third tier, the Shadow Gu's intelligence increased significantly, so it was able to handle this small matter.

Song Wen arrived in front of the jade plate of the Starline Formation and read the information within.

The message came from the Mission Hall of Limitless Island, instructing Song Wen to go there as soon as possible, as an Alchemy mission had been assigned to him.

"You two keep an eye on the island. I have to go out for a while," Song Wen instructed the two women.

He left behind a Shadow Gu and flew towards Limitless Island.

In the center of the mission hall square, a circle of desks was set up, behind which stood more than a dozen disciples of Limitless Island.

After Song Wen handed his identity token to a disciple, the disciple was slightly surprised upon seeing the token.

"Please wait a moment, senior, I'll go fetch the manager."

The disciple left in a hurry, and soon after, he summoned a female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Song Wen had met this female cultivator several times; her name was Qiao Ke.

"Extreme Yin, we meet again. This is your mission." Qiao Ke handed Song Wen a Jade Slip.

Song Wen took the Jade Slip and probed it with his Divine Sense.

The task in the Jade Slip is: The Cold Mountain Kingdom in the southwest corner of Sheep Island has recently been attacked by Bloodthirsty Bees, resulting in the deaths of a large number of mortals. Sheep Island Pavilion Master Zhu Yin has personally led people to besiege them many times, but has failed to find the Bloodthirsty Bees' lair and has not been able to eliminate the queen bee.

Zhu Yin guessed that the queen bee had evolved into a third-tier Demon Beast with extremely high intelligence. She requested Limitless Island to send a third-tier Alchemist to refine Demon-Luring Incense, lure out the queen bee, and completely eliminate the threat of the Bloodthirsty Bees.

The Cold Mountain Kingdom enjoys a unique geographical advantage. Located in a basin, its land is flat, fertile, and abundant. Surrounded by majestic mountains, it forms a natural barrier that effectively blocks the invasion of harsh weather from the sea.

Cold Mountain Kingdom is an extremely important breeding ground for two-legged sheep on Sheep Island, and the Bloodthirsty Bees are at risk of swarming out and spilling over to other places. Therefore, Sheep Island Pavilion Master Zhu Yin attaches great importance to it.

After briefly understanding the mission, Song Wen was quite satisfied with this imposed task.

The task is rewarded with substantial pay, despite its low risk.

Five hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, plus twenty thousand contribution points.

Most importantly, by accepting this task, he can obtain the Pill Formula for a third-tier Demon-Luring Incense for free.

Song Wen was somewhat puzzled; why would such a task fall to him, a newcomer?

After bidding farewell to Qiao Ke, Song Wen flew towards Sheep Island.

A thousand miles away from Sheep Island, a large spaceship could be seen hovering in the sky.

The spaceship was majestic, like a suspended fortress.

There are eight such spaceships around Sheep Island, forming two formations: a maze formation and a Spirit Gathering Formation.

The maze was only a low-level formation, but it was enough to trap the mortals on Sheep Island.

The Spirit Gathering Formation was created to activate the maze.

"Senior, stop here. This is a no-fly zone of Limitless Island. Unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter."

Upon seeing Song Wen arrive, a Late Qi Refinement cultivator on the spaceship shouted loudly.
