Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 544 High-Yield Mission!

The Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion went to great lengths for the Thunder God Wood, which shows how powerful and rare the Purple Firmament Immortal Thunder Law is.

Facing the middle-aged man's inquiry, Qin Han Chu pondered, "I don't recall. I spent most of my time in closed-door cultivation practicing martial skills. Besides my few companions, I'm not very familiar with others."

"If you have any clues, head to the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion. If the clues are useful, you will be generously rewarded."

With that, the middle-aged man turned and left.

After he left, A Xiang transmitted, "The Purple Firmament Immortal Thunder is known as the supreme law in the path of thunder. The Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion will not give up easily."

"Therefore, I must seize this time to enhance my realm, or I will be too passive," Qin Han Chu replied.

"Let's go, let's continue taking on missions," Bai Li Lao Zu transmitted.

For the next three years, Qin Han Chu and the other three were constantly collecting materials outside.

Three years sounds like a long time, but for Immortal Realm cultivators, it was like the blink of an eye.

During these three years, Qin Han Chu and the other three engaged in combat with others multiple times.

They also learned from the previous six people: if they could win, they would feign weakness to lure the enemy, and if they couldn't win, they would slip away early.

Fortunately, cultivators of higher realms were too lazy to bully those of lower realms.

If they encountered an Immortal Venerable blocking their path, they could only consider themselves unlucky and hand over the materials the opponent required.

Qin Han Chu had been concealing the Purple Firmament Immortal Thunder, only using the Law of Life and Death in external battles.

He was unaware that an Immortal Venerable from the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion had been lurking in the shadows, watching the four of them.

Only when Qin Han Chu and the other three returned to Ancient Dao City did he become convinced that Qin Han Chu only possessed the Law of Life and Death.

In three years, Qin Han Chu and the other three's missions only yielded five hundred Law Crystals.

Fortunately, they also killed several cultivators who blocked their path, selling their immortal artifacts and resources, and obtained over three thousand Law Crystals in total.

This showed that killing and robbing were indeed more promising.

Over a thousand Law Crystals could only purchase one pill of the Five Elements Law.

Pills for the Law of Life and Death and the Law of Reincarnation were very expensive, costing at least two thousand Law Crystals each at the cheapest.

Helplessly, the four had to continue taking on missions.

Just as the four were accepting a mission, a beautiful woman walked over, "Do you four want to take on a mission with extremely high rewards?"

Qin Han Chu and the other three frowned slightly. Extremely high rewards?

Such a good thing coming to them?

Dragon Lord directly asked, "Why are you looking for the four of us?"

"Not just the four of you. This mission requires twenty people to have a good chance of success."

"We are taking on this mission privately for a senior to find a rare material."

"Once the mission is completed, each person will receive at least two thousand Law Crystals."

"We are currently short of four people, which is why we are approaching a team of four."

In the Lord's World, the weak often traveled in groups.

A team of four like Qin Han Chu's was considered small in number.

Generally, teams consisted of six to eight people.

In the Lord's World, Dao Oath Contracts were excellent tools for constraint.

As long as a Dao Oath Contract was signed, very few people dared to violate it.

Once a contract was breached, a mysterious law would punish the oathbreaker according to the terms of the contract.

This kind of law was extremely terrifying; even a Xuan God could not resist its power.

"What is the content of the mission?" Bai Li Lao Zu asked.

"You can only know after signing the Dao Oath Contract."

"High returns naturally come with high risks. It depends on whether you four have the courage to venture together," the beautiful woman said with a smile.

Qin Han Chu looked at A Xiang and the other two. Dragon Lord transmitted, "What do you think?"

A Xiang mused, "With our four's strength, self-preservation should not be a problem."

Bai Li Lao Zu said, "Two thousand Law Crystals is very tempting. Shall we try?"

Dragon Lord looked at Qin Han Chu, "What do you think?"

"Alright, let's four be cautious," Qin Han Chu replied.

Upon hearing Qin Han Chu's answer, A Xiang said, "Then let's give it a try."

The beautiful woman knew the four were discussing through transmission, so she didn't rush them.

After a moment, A Xiang finally said, "Okay, we'll join."

"Follow me," the beautiful woman said upon hearing A Xiang.

The four followed the beautiful woman and entered a tavern.

After being seated, the beautiful woman produced the Dao Oath Contract.

At this moment, seventeen people's spiritual senses were already imprinted on the contract, including the aura of the person in front of them.

There was also an exceptionally powerful spiritual sense; the owner of this spiritual sense should be the one who issued the mission.

This contract was ordinary, just a typical team-up contract.

It also indicated the method of reward distribution.

As for the mission content, it could only be known after signing the contract.

Since the contract had no issues, Qin Han Chu and the other three imprinted their spiritual senses on it.

The number of people reached the standard, and the contract officially took effect.

The contract then transformed into twenty-one streams of light.

Five of these streams entered the sea of consciousness of Qin Han Chu and the other four, while the others went to find their hosts following their spiritual senses' auras.

"In the Fierce Lion Ridge, there is a Heavenly Blossom Dragon Grass that is about to mature."

"Our mission is to bring back this Heavenly Blossom Dragon Grass."

"By the way, my name is Xiao Lin."

A Xiang frowned, "Heavenly Blossom Dragon Grass? This is an immortal grass nourished by the saliva of Flood Dragons! This means that an ancient Flood Dragon is guarding it?"

"That's right, and not just one, but two ancient Flood Dragons."

"These two ancient Flood Dragons are not the biggest obstacle."

Bai Li Lao Zu said, "Fierce Lion Ridge is within the territory of the Wind Cloud Immortal Pavilion. This means we have to travel into enemy territory."

"Exactly, so we need to divide our labor and cooperate."

"One team will be responsible for luring away the border guards, while another team will sneak into Fierce Lion Ridge to seize the Heavenly Blossom Dragon Grass," Xiao Lin explained.

Qin Han Chu was somewhat puzzled, "The Immortal Venerables and Immortal Saints of the border army are not mere decorations."

"You haven't been to the border, have you?"

"High-level cultivators won't pay attention to us."

"Even if they see through our intentions, they won't inform their own people."

"This is an agreement between various forces. In battles between cultivators of the same realm, those of higher realms cannot participate."

"Of course, if you actively provoke a high-level cultivator, you're asking for death."

Qin Han Chu nodded in understanding, no wonder that "senior" didn't go himself; it turned out there were such unspoken rules.

Since they were all of the same realm, it was relatively safer.

"When do we depart?" Dragon Lord asked.

"Let's go. The others should be gathering at the East City Gate."

As Xiao Lin stood up, Qin Han Chu and the other three followed.

Upon arriving at the East City Gate, indeed, many people were gathering.

Qin Han Chu and the other three followed Xiao Lin to this spot and stood aside without speaking.

After about twenty minutes, twenty people were present.

"Let's go. We'll divide our tasks on the way."

As the words fell, Xiao Lin took the lead, flying up and turning into a stream of light towards the border.

Qin Han Chu and the other three stayed together, while the others also divided into different groups.

"How about we six, plus you four, go together to seize the Heavenly Blossom Dragon Grass?"
