Chapter 420: 234: Mountain and Water Calabash_2
Upon entering the spirit gourd, the little fellow was a bit perplexed. But soon, feeling the strong water element, it was immediately excited and headed towards the origin of the river, frantically absorbing the water element until it was satisfied, then gradually stopping.
In the beginning, Su Nan was slightly worried that if the little fellow absorbed all of the water element, would it impact this world? But then he quickly realized he was overthinking.
As the water element in the mini world decreased, he immediately noticed that the spirit gourd was autonomously drawing the water element from the universe to supplement the water element within the mini world.
“It can autonomously absorb the water element from the universe? This is good news. This way, I no longer need to feed the little fellow with the essence and blood of a demon.”
Su Nan was then more satisfied with the spirit gourd.
After studying for a little while longer, he put away the spirit gourd and turned his attention towards the Task Panel.
[Main Quest: Wrath of the Demon Emperor]
[First Stage of the Task: Hunt 120 Spirit Level Outsiders, One Xuan Level Outsider]
[Task Difficulty: 3 stars]
[Task Reward: Xuan-level Bloodline, Xuan-Level Monster Scripture, 45 Demon Power Points]
“As expected, the task difficulty has significantly increased, requiring me to hunt Xuan-level Outsiders now.”
Su Nan was not surprised, just a bit helpless.
Xuan-level monsters are easy to find, but Xuan-level players are nonexistent.
He couldn’t just hunt himself, right?
Closing the panel, he continued on his way.
The journey to follow was smooth, with no accidents.
Over an hour later,
Su Nan finally arrived at the imperial city of the Yu Dynasty!
From far away, he could see an imposing ancient city.
The towering city walls extended endlessly, spanning countless miles. Just by looking at the city walls, Su Nan understood that this imperial city was at least three to four times larger than Tianyun City.
There were even more players coming and going here, with groups of players emerging from the imperial city at all times.
In front of the city gate, there were dozens of martial artists serving as guards, scanning every passing player. Without exception, all the guards were Xuan- level experts!
Using Xuan-level experts as gatekeepers? Only the imperial city would have such qualifications!
As Su Nan approached the city gate, he was suddenly attracted to a bronze mirror hanging there.
It was a bronze mirror about a foot in diameter.
The moment he walked under the mirror, he faintly saw a huge demon beast in the shape of a turtle flashing over his body in the mirror.
“Eh? What was that?” Su Nan was surprised.
Noticing his gaze, a fellow player explained:
“That’s a piece of ancient treasure called a ‘Demon Reflecting-Mirror’. Any demon is unable to hide its form before it, even transformed Demon Kings and Demon Emperors would reveal their true forms.”
“A Demon-Reflecting Mirror?” Su Nan had a spark in mind and understood.
Though he had changed his appearance, he was using Zhang Yang’s identity. Quite evidently, the Demon-reflecting Mirror had just reflected the Bloodline of the Dragon Turtle within him.
After glancing at the Demon Reflecting Mirror once again, Su Nan walked into the imperial city.
“Good news, good news, the Hell club is recruiting. As long as you have a Bloodline Great Perfection, you can join.”
“Join the top 20 guilds, the Horizon Pavilion is recruiting, if you’re a brother, then come.”
As he entered the imperial city, Su Nan instantly felt like he was in a bustling city. On both sides of the street, players from various guilds were loudly shouting, trying to attract solo players passing by.
Some of them were from quite famous guilds such as War-King Guild, Dream Guild, etc.
Furthermore, Su Nan even heard of the Wolf-Hunting Alliance.
“Don’t miss out, if you want to hunt the wolf demon of Tianyun City, come join our Wolf-Hunting Alliance.” a young man shouted loudly.
Su Nan couldn’t help but glance at that player.
Finding Su Nan’s gaze, the young man looked up, noticed that Su Nan was at Spirit-level, and immediately showed a smiling face:
“Brother, you look new here, you must have just arrived at the Imperial city, right? Would you like to join our Wolf-Hunting Alliance?”
“Our Wolf-Hunting Alliance is a free organization. We never restrain our members. During regular days, we can form groups for Brush Monsters, the moment we find that Wolf Demon of Tianyun City, we will collectively hunt the Wolf Demon.”
The young man was very enthusiastic, hoping to convince Su Nan to join.
But Su Nan did not pay any attention to the young man and continued to make his way into the city.
The Imperial City was vast, stretching dozens of miles from east to west, divided into the Inner City and the Outer City.
Su Nan planned to find the Demon Hunting Bureau first and complete the task of escorting the divine weapon.
However, he hadn’t found the Demon Hunting Bureau yet, but he did see another magnificent building.
“Tiangong Pavilion!”
His eyes lit up, and he immediately headed towards the Tiangong Pavilion.
Since he had arrived at the Tiangong Pavilion first, he naturally decided to purchase the Magic Ling Grass there first.
The Tiangong Pavilion in the Imperial City, being the headquarters in Dongchen State, was not ordinarily large, and the number of player martial artists coming and going was endless.
Unlike the Tiangong Pavilion in Tianyun City, there were no serving maidens here; the martial artists who came here had to go to the corresponding area to make their purchases.
Su Nan found the area selling spiritual grass, and an old man said, “Young friend, what do you need?”
“I need Magic Ling Grass.”
The old man shook his head and said, “Magic Ling Grass? My apologies, but we don’t have that here at the Tiangong Pavilion.”
“You don’t?” Su Nan’s heart sank, Zhou Lingyin had said that the Magic Ling Grass was not a rare item; logically, the Tiangong Pavilion should have it.
He immediately asked, “Isn’t Magic Ling Grass supposed to not be a rare item? How could the Tiangong Pavilion not have any?”
The old man said, “I apologize, young friend; you have come at an inconvenient time. We did have a few Magic Ling Grasses, but just yesterday, all of them were bought.”
“They were all bought?”
“Could this be another effect of bad luck?”
Su Nan’s face darkened.
When he had used the Life and Death Mirror before and saw that the cost was only to be plagued by bad luck, he didn’t pay much attention to it; he thought that with the ability to foresee the future, even if there was danger, he should be able to avoid it.
But now it seemed that this curse of bad luck wasn’t just about attracting danger.
Sometimes, things that pose no danger can have a greater impact.
“Who’s the one who bought off the stock?” Su Nan wasn’t going to give up, if he could find out who it was, he might be able to try buying from that person.
However, the old man shook his head, “Apologies, our Tiangong Pavilion does not disclose customer information.”
“Not disclosed?”
Su Nan frowned, after a moment of silence said, “Doesn’t your Tiangong Pavilion also sell information? I want to buy the information of the person who bought the Magic Ling Grass.”
On hearing this, the old man chuckled, “I’m just in the spiritual grass selling area, to buy information, you need to go to the intelligence selling area.”
He didn’t directly refuse, which meant it could be bought?
Alright, what a load of nonsense on not disclosing customer information, they just want to earn more money.
What a rip-off!
Su Nan was contemptuous in his heart, but his feet immediately moved towards the intelligence selling area.
He couldn’t be bothered to foresee, now he had more than two hundred Xuan- Level demon corpses on him, unimaginably rich.
Just as he thought, there really was information about the person who bought the Magic Ling Grass in the intelligence selling area.
The price was exactly ten drops of spirit-level demon blood.
After paying off an Early Xuan Stage demon corpse, he got the information.
The information was very brief, only one sentence, but it was this one sentence that gave Su Nan a shock.
“The person who bought the Magic Ling Grass is at the Spirit Level Early Stage. He is suspected to be an outsider. He was wearing a mask, so his exact identity couldn’t be confirmed. There was a hint of demonic qi swirling around him, indicating that he might have been corroded by demonic qi.”
“An outsider? Someone else has been corroded by demonic qi just like me?”
“Who could it be?”
Su Nan was surprised that the Magic Ling Grass was bought by a player.
After a moment of pondering, someone came to his mind.
“Could it be Li Ye?”
Li Ye was the only player he had seen interacting with demons. Back in Tiger Roar Town, Li Ye had even pulled out a demonic stone. If anyone was suspected of being corroded by demonic qi, Li Ye was likely to be.
“But even if Li Ye really did buy it, it wouldn’t be easy to get it from him.”
“I can only try to find a way through the Demon Hunting Bureau.”
As the Bureau Chief of the Demon Hunting Bureau, he is allowed to exchange treasures from the bureau’s treasure vault.
Last time he killed so many Xuan-level demons, the Demon Hunting Bureau hadn’t calculated his demon-slaying points yet.
With this thought, Su Nan did not linger any longer and quickly headed towards the Demon Hunting Bureau.
