262Chapter 261 So what if my aptitude is poor Ill return to the sects bounty list

The trip went exceptionally smoothly, without any delays. On the way back, Yu Xian was not in a hurry and simply walked on the clouds with his hands behind his back, flying at a steady speed.

The corpse of a mid-tier, fourth-order three-striped tiger is quite valuable. Once we return to the sect, show it to the people in the mission hall, and complete the mission, we can give the whole tiger corpse to Little Phoenix Cat as an extra meal.

Although Yu Xian could cook tiger meat and eat tiger bones, it had little effect on improving his physical body, so there was no need to waste it.

If there were another fifth-tier demonic beast, like that black snake, it would be so satisfying to eat it, like a great pill for both body tempering and cultivation.

The thought probed into the spirit beast pouch, where the little phoenix cat was already licking the demon core, continuously absorbing its power. Once its body had fully adapted, it would swallow it whole.

After all, it had only eaten ordinary raw meat or spirit beast pills since it was a cub, and had never eaten demon pills or demon beast meat.

This requires a process, a gradual process of becoming wilder and more demonic.

Nodding slightly, Yu Xian looked at Yun Zhonglu again.

The heron in the clouds was still asleep, but the intense heat emanating from its body was becoming increasingly apparent.

Perhaps it will successfully advance in the next few days.

Two spirit beasts, one mount, and one battle pet.

Yu Xian sincerely hopes that they can accompany him all the way!

“After I get back, I’ll need to learn some pet care techniques…”

Looking at Yun Zhonglu and Xiao Fengmao, these two ordinary spirit beasts, who are now desperately trying to become stronger, Yu Xian also had a thought.

Or… let’s really, seriously nurture them! Even if it costs a lot of resources, we’ll spare no expense.

There are many intricacies to raising spirit beasts. If raised well, the pets can advance rapidly, allowing you to earn spirit stones by selling them.

Back then, Jiang Xiaolong, as the owner of the Spirit Feeding Workshop, was only at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he managed to cultivate a battle pet with the strength of a fifth-tier lower-level pet.

If it weren’t for the fact that the white snake battle pet was besieged by hundreds of fierce ghosts and encountered Qi Xuan, who had a thunder spirit root and had also mastered the abnormal Three Treasures Divine Thunder Technique, the Foundation Establishment cultivators would have been slaughtering indiscriminately.

In the past, Yu Xian never thought much about raising them carefully. She just considered it a matter of fate and wouldn’t sell them or eat them as pets. She would just keep them until the end of their lifespan.

But the bird and the cat never disappointed him. They worked hard, even though they were not very talented or even inferior. They never gave up and always wanted to help their master.

So why should I look down on them?

It is said that when raising spirit beasts, one must first carefully select the beast pets, choosing those of different species, rare ones, those that grow to a high rank, or those with great potential, so as not to waste resources.

Yu Xian’s pet beasts are an ordinary heron in the clouds and a slightly mutated but still ordinary little phoenix cat.

They’re the kind of trash that cultivators who raise beasts wouldn’t even glance at.

But Yu Xian had already made up his mind: no matter what, he would raise the two of them!

Because, are my own qualities really that good? Why should I look down on them?

Having figured this out, Yu Xian’s thought flickered, but he quickly withdrew it, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Three guys with mediocre skills, let’s work together!

The towering peaks of Haotian Zhengzong were clearly visible ahead. Yu Xian made his way back to Haotian Zhengzong at a leisurely pace, taking a day and a half to finally enter Xiaokun Mountain.

Upon returning to the Haotian Sect at Xiaokunlun Mountain, Yu Xian went straight to the Mission Hall.

The main hall was still bustling with people, accepting and returning quests everywhere.

Yu Xian arrived at the center of the mission hall, intending to go to the left side hall to hand in the mission, when he suddenly saw the scrolling mission map in front of the mission hall.

The task catalog displays various tasks; the simple ones are quickly claimed, while the difficult ones are left behind.

But at some point, an extra bounty board appeared above these tasks!

The bounty list offers a huge amount of sect contribution points and other rewards for successfully defeating the individuals listed!

The number one on the bounty list is named Li Chunfeng!

Bounty in contribution points: 20,000 points!

Twenty thousand points!

How many points do you usually get after working yourself to the bone on a task? Back in the day, Yu Xian only got twenty contribution points for killing seven evil cultivators!

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, or even Golden Core cultivators, could easily live a life of leisure and ease if they obtained this many contribution points! They wouldn’t need to do any sect missions at all!

Yu Xian lowered his gaze and continued reading.

Li Chunfeng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of the Blood River Sect, is the disciple of the Blood River Sect Master. He possesses a Heavenly Spiritual Root and a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation level. His battle record includes killing twenty-one Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators, three Pseudo-Core cultivators, and one Golden Core cultivator.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xian’s eyes narrowed instantly, then a faint smile appeared on his face.

Such a powerful being can only be killed by a Golden Core cultivator.

However, the aura of a Golden Core cultivator is so strong that it is not easy to pretend to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. To disguise himself, get close, and kill Li Chunfeng would be harder than climbing to heaven.

Second place goes to Shi Quanlong, with a reward of 7,000 contribution points.

Shi Quanlong, a Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivator of the Blood River Sect, is a disciple of the Supreme Elder of the Blood River Sect. He possesses the Earth Spirit Root and has a record of killing seventeen Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivators and two Pseudo-Core cultivators.

This cultivator is terrifying; he is no ordinary person who can defeat him. Only a Golden Core cultivator could kill him.

Moreover, how could someone with such talent possibly walk alone? He is surrounded by countless Golden Core cultivators as protectors, making it even more difficult to kill him than to kill a lone Golden Core cultivator.

Third place: Mu Hanling, with a reward of 5,000 contribution points.

Mu Hanling, a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of the Blood River Sect, is the disciple of the Second Elder of the Blood River Sect. He possesses the Five Elements Great Spiritual Root. His battle record includes killing fifteen Foundation Establishment cultivators and three Pseudo-Core Formation cultivators.

Fourth place: Zhao Heng, with a reward of 4,000 contribution points.

Zhao Heng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of the Blood River Sect, is a disciple of the Third Elder of the Blood River Sect. He possesses a unique wind spirit root. His battle record includes killing ten Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Great Perfection stage and one pseudo-Core Formation cultivator.

Fifth place…

Yu Xian frowned slightly as he looked at the updated list.

Is this the name of a young cultivator from the Blood River Sect?

Six years ago, this thing didn’t exist, but now it does!

What does this mean?

This means that the Haotian Sect and the Blood River Sect have completely broken off relations. In addition to launching a full-scale sect war, both sides are using every means possible against each other!

Kill the opponent’s strong members, their promising talents, and their younger generation; restrict their development! Show absolutely no shame!

That means…

Perhaps his name is also on the list of those in the Blood River Cult?

After all, he had killed six evil cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage of the Blood River Sect in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm. Although his record was far inferior to that of Shi Quanlong, Mu Hanling, and Zhao Heng, there were still more than a dozen places below him! If nothing unexpected happened, that old Taoist would definitely put him on the list!

Yu Xian’s eyes flickered as he looked down the list, memorizing all thirty names on the bounty list before turning his gaze away.

These thirty people are all powerful individuals with considerable strength!

Those first ten might be beings he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend! The remaining twenty… perhaps he could kill them…

Similarly, the other person probably thought the same thing after seeing my name…

After watching for a while, Yu Xian withdrew his gaze.

Yu Xian memorized all thirty names. If they were to meet in the wild or during a major battle between the two sects, Yu Xian would be careful and not arrogant.

With a sigh of relief, Yu Xian turned around and headed towards the side hall where tasks were submitted.

Yu Xian has only visited this mission hall twice since arriving at Haotian Sect.

This time, it’s the second time.

Last time, he killed seven evil cultivators, but because he had no evidence, he talked for a long time and even made promises before he could barely complete the mission.

This time, with the three-striped tiger’s corpse at hand, he could return it at will.

With these thoughts in mind, Yu Xian stepped into the side hall, glanced around, his eyes lit up, and he walked over.

“Senior Brother Zhang!”

Behind the counter stood Zhang Yanhui, the senior brother Zhang I had met five years ago.

Five years have passed, but Zhang Yanhui’s face remains unchanged. After all, once one has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, one’s appearance does not change unless one is old. Otherwise, even after several decades, one’s appearance will remain the same.

Zhang Yanhui, who was behind the counter, was clearly taken aback. He looked at Yu Xian with a frown and asked, “You are… Yu Xian?”

Yu Xian smiled and said, “That’s me!”

“Hehehe…”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanhui immediately sneered and said, “You are Yu Xian from the Alchemy Sect?”

Yu Xian nodded and smiled, “That’s right. I met Senior Brother Zhang a few years ago. We became acquainted. He was the one who killed seven evil cultivators. Brother Zhang, do you not recognize me?”

“hehe.”

Zhang Yanhui sneered again, “It’s impossible that I don’t know you. You killed six evil cultivators in the Heavenly Secret Realm, and your reputation spread far and wide throughout the Haotian Orthodox Sect. Who wouldn’t know you? But why were you not there when I went to look for you six times? If you don’t want to refine pills for me, just say so. Why bother with all this beating around the bush!”

“Forehead……”

Yu Xian was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, “Oh dear, senior brother, you’ve really misunderstood me. I’ve been away cultivating for the past two or three years, so of course you can’t find me. Senior brother, just tell me what kind of pill you want to refine, and I’ll go back and refine it for you right now!”

“Yeah?”

Zhang Yanhui glanced at Yu Xian suspiciously.

“yes!”

Yu Xian said helplessly, “I’ve been busy with other matters for the past two or three years and haven’t been in the sect. If you go to ask, of course I won’t be here. So how can I help you refine pills, Senior Brother?”

“Um……”

Zhang Yanhui thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll trust you. What brings you here today?”

“Then naturally we should return the mission.”

Yu Xian chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, senior brother. As long as you need to refine pills, I’ll refine them for you as soon as I hand in the mission. It won’t take a moment!”

“good!”

Zhang Yanhui nodded and said, “Hand over the mission scroll.”

Yu Xian immediately gave him the mission scroll.

Zhang Yanhui glanced at it, then looked at Yu Xian and said slowly, “You killed the three-striped tiger, a mid-tier fourth-order demonic beast?”

Yu Xian smiled faintly and said, “Senior brother, look.”

As he spoke, he handed over a storage bag.

Zhang Yanhui reached out and took it, then peered inside. His eyes widened in shock. He looked up at Yu Xian and said slowly, “You truly deserve to be called a powerful figure who killed six evil cultivators and is even on the Blood River Sect’s list. You’re amazing.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian’s smile vanished, and he looked at Zhang Yanhui, saying, “Senior brother, what do you mean by that?”

“You don’t know it yourself?”

Zhang Yanhui smiled faintly: “You are a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection expert ranked twenty-fourth on the bounty list in the Blood River Sect, hahaha, I should call you Brother Dao from now on.”

Yu Xian pondered for a moment, then smiled calmly and said, “Is that so? Then I’m quite valuable, Senior Brother. My mission reward…?”

Zhang Yanhui laughed and said, “You’ve already killed the fourth-tier mid-level three-striped tiger, so you’ll naturally get a reward. Where are your contribution point tokens?”

“Contribution Token?”

Yu Xian was surprised for a moment, then quickly rummaged through his storage and took out the contribution value token that Fu Ning’an had given him, and handed it to Zhang Yanhui.

Zhang Yanhui took the token, glanced at it, and his eyes widened. He couldn’t help but look at Yu Xian again and laughed, “Looks like you haven’t used up any contribution points these past few years.”

Yu Xian was confused, so Zhang Yanhui continued, “Yu Xian, a disciple of the Alchemy Sect, has killed the Three-Striped Tiger, a demonic beast that was harassing the human race, and has gained 15 contribution points.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed Yu Xian’s contribution token into a groove. Yu Xian’s contribution token flashed slightly and then regained its luster.

Zhang Yanhui then handed the token to Yu Xian and said with a smile, “Senior Brother Yu, the mission contribution points have been allocated. Here you go.”

Zhang Yanhui, whose cultivation was still in the late Foundation Establishment stage, no longer had any airs. He looked at Yu Xian with a smile and bowed respectfully.

Yu Xian was a little uncomfortable for a moment. He glanced at Zhang Yanhui, put away the token, and then nodded and said, “This, you, fellow Daoist, there’s no need for this. If you need alchemy, I will definitely help you!”

Zhang Yanhui laughed and looked at Yu Xian, saying, “It’s nothing. My alchemy is a trivial matter. But if I bother you in the next few days, please don’t pretend you’re not here.”

“I will definitely be there.”

Yu Xian nodded and said in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist, please rest assured!”

Zhang Yanhui nodded and said, “With your words, I feel much more at ease. Please go ahead, fellow Daoist!”

Yu Xian cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said again, “Fellow Daoist, please rest assured.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

The reason Yu Xian didn’t refine pills for Zhang Yanhui wasn’t intentional; rather, he was busy with other matters and had to go out to cultivate his magic, which caused the delay.

It’s normal for Zhang Yanhui to have complaints, after all, anyone would have sought him out a dozen or twenty times, wanting him to refine pills and fulfill his promise.

But if I’m not there, I’ll definitely get angry and feel like I’m deliberately making excuses.

Zhang Yanhui’s ability to successfully complete her mission demonstrates her broad-mindedness.

After handing over the mission, Yu Xian turned and left the mission hall, sighing to himself.

I spent several years cultivating alone in the wild, which has caused many people to be misled and to think that I am an untrustworthy and unrighteous person.

Therefore, the remaining cultivation time can only be carried out in his own courtyard. If Zhang Yanhui comes to seek alchemy, he will have to help him complete it.

Yu Xian thought to himself and nodded to himself. At the same time, with a thought, he threw the three-striped tiger corpse from his storage into his spirit beast bag.

“Little Phoenix Cat?”

Inside the spirit beast pouch, the corpse of the three-striped tiger fell from the sky and crashed to the ground. Yu Xian laughed and said, “This three-striped tiger is your reward. You’d better work hard in the future!”

However, before he could finish speaking, Yu Xian’s expression suddenly froze!

But then they saw the little phoenix cat biting the three-striped tiger’s demon core and constantly feeding it into Yun Zhonglu’s mouth, trying to save Yun Zhonglu.

As for Yun Zhonglu, his aura was twisted and distorted, scorching, violent, and icy, completely unlike his original appearance!

Clearly, its bloodline is too mixed. Its ancestors must have mated with countless powerful birds, eventually giving rise to this lineage of the Cloud Heron!

Therefore, it can no longer find its ancestral lineage!

It didn’t know what type of ancestral lineage it possessed!

It has fallen into chaos!
