Chapter 342: I can!
Chen Ming needed missions the most, now that his spiritual knowledge account hit rock bottom!
For spiritual knowledge, he must act like a player and cozy up to others for tasks. Regardless of the mission, give it to me!
With Feng Lu as a guide, Chen Ming paid a visit to many immortals. They showed their gratitude when they knew he came to help against the tide.
“That is, Yan Mountain Mountain Lord, our sect has always repelled the beast tide, exhausting the resources of our lands. We rely solely on our disciples earning Spirit Veins in the Galaxy. We do not have much to give, only three Heaven Spirit Veins!”
“Ding! You triggered a B ranked mission, Help the Ill-fated Repel the Beast Tide. Reward: 1.2 million spiritual knowledge, 100,000 fame.”
Chen Ming waved, “Not a problem, I accept!”
…
“Yan Mountain Mountain Lord, we are most grateful for your help. But we can’t spare much. The most we can offer is two Heaven Spirit Veins!”
“Ding! You triggered a B ranked mission. Help the ill-fated repel the beast tide. Reward: 0.8 million spiritual knowledge, 50,000 fame.”
Chen Ming slapped his righteousness-filled chest, “We cultivators need to help each other and do good, we can’t always do it for wealth! It is of no concern. I accept!”
…
“Sire, we are so poor we are scraping the bottom of the barrel. I can only offer one earth Spirit Vein…”
The immortal was too ashamed to even continue.
“Ding! You triggered a B ranked mission. Help the ill-fated repel the beast tide. Reward: 0.9 million spiritual knowledge, 60,000 fame.”
Chen Ming didn’t even care, filled with zeal to do good, “Leave it to me!”
Feng Lu said, “Sire, he just said one earth Spirit Vein.”
Chen Ming questioned, “What’s the problem? Each sect is different. Am I supposed to let the poor sects die, despite not giving one Spirit Vein?”
Feng Lu was moved by Chen Ming’s compassionate air, “This old monk has utmost respect for sire!”
The Barren Star’s immortal muttered as they left, “A hero still lives in this world! Filled with heroism, the agent of the people shall strike down injustice with his sword!”
…
Touring the stars for missions left Chen Ming satisfied. These many missions will net me two hundred million spiritual knowledge. Once they’re done, I will have an even greater boost in power!
“Ding! You are willing to show kindness, helping those in anguish. If you carry out these missions, you will earn a mysterious achievement.”
Eh? This can also be called an achievement?
Achievement means auras. I wonder what this one will bring.
Chen Ming returned home to make war preparations, the largest war he would ever enter in his life. Everything had to be drawn out to the last detail.
He called upon Li Suyi and Ling Xian, These kids are the main force in repelling the beast tide. With Zhuo Qingyao in seclusion, it’s now up to them.
But they at least have immortal beasts under them, so it shouldn’t be a reason to worry.
Chen Ming asked, “How many immortal beasts can enter the war?”
Li Suyi bowed. “Five!”
Chen Ming’s mind was turning, Five is normal. Even with the Heart Enlightenment Fruits, not all can reach such a stage so fast.
“Then how many Beneath Immortal beast can we deploy?”
Li Suyi bowed, “Around a hundred.”
Chen Ming knitted his brows, “They aren’t enough to hold this war. We need three hundred, at least, to achieve perfect victory.”
Li Suyi said, “Master, Obsidian Star has no Beneath Immortal savage beasts left. We will need to risk going to the stars near the Desolate Star for more.”
“There’s no need for such exposure, their power is too great. Suyi, you will be the vanguard, leading three immortal beasts, thirty Beneath Immortal savage beasts and six hundred disciples for the stars in need of holding the front. You will first capture the Beneath Immortal savage beasts there. With a little over a year left, you need to use it and build your forces!”
Li Suyi bowed, “Leave it to disciple, Master.”
“Ling Xian, you will lead the rest disciples that hold Beneath Immortal savage beasts and oversee the army. You will have to deploy them according to Suyi’s intelligence.”
Ling Xian bowed, “Understood, Master.”
“In this war, Purple Sun Pill Pavilion will move against us. You are not to return without my explicit order. Master will keep them company!”
Li Suyi and Ling Xian exchanged a glance, the meaning clear in each other’s of their eyes: As expected!
During every war, Master threw himself into the worst danger, for fear of jeopardizing them.
Purple Sun Pill Pavilion convened many Earth Immortals, posing a far greater threat than the beast tide.
But Master still left the worst danger for himself.
Chen Ming waved, “Alright, make the preparation and set out as soon as possible. We’re already short on time as it is.”
Li Suyi and Ling Xian left to prepare the pills, then settled to drinking in Ling Xian’s courtyard. The first began, “Master is still the same, leaving the worst danger to himself.”
Ling Xian drank a cup of wine, “Yeah, I’ve gotten used to it.”
“But I can’t let Master face the Purple Sun Pill Pavilion alone. I will settle the battle there as soon as possible then return with the immortal beasts!”
“You’re the vanguard, make sure you don’t die on the way!”
Li Suyi took a swing of the wine bottle, laughing hard, “Second senior brother, worry not. I am leading Yan Mountain’s elite savage beasts and immortal beasts!”
Li Suyi rose, “I’ll be going. Don’t forget to set aside the victory wine when I get back!”
Li Suyi carried the Blood Saber Coffin on his back and jumped on his ten-foot-long golden-purple lion, an immortal beast. It could change its size at will, yet still felt quite cozy riding it.
Ling Xian stood on the mountain, watching Li Suyi waving below, “Everyone, to me!”
Thirty Beneath Immortal savage beasts and three immortal beasts jumped into the skies, leaving a cloud of dust.
Ling Xian stood there, not knowing what to say and settled on, “The sooner you go the sooner you return.”
