Chapter 80: Huge Reward
me kill other geniuses... Either a fool who overestimates himself, or a true strongman."Are you the former, or the latter"Cang Yan's voice was cold, echoing through the mountains and forests."Are you...Inside the cave, Su Xin's face suddenly changed. He bit his tongue, a sharp pain instantly bringing him back to consciousness.
Then Su Xin immediately withdrew the blood-red fruit into his Qiankun ring, and dared not look at it again.
What a terrifying temptation!
Su Xin felt a little scared now.
He never expected that a mere fruit would naturally contain such a great temptation, even causing him to involuntarily rise with greed and unable to control his desires.
For a moment, he seemed possessed, almost uncontrollably about to swallow the fruit whole.
Luckily... Luckily, he had been imprisoned in the Demon Prison for three years. The torment of those three years made his mind much more resilient than that of his peers, allowing him to remain rational at critical moments and withstand temptation.
"Where did this fruit come from How could it be so terrifying"
Su Xin felt very curious, but he didn't dare to take the fruit out again, nor did he dare to actually swallow it.
Such a peculiar, alluring fruit, Su Xin couldn't even fathom its use. Who knew what would happen after swallowing it
"I can only wait until I get back to the Tianyan Palace. After sending this fruit to the Treasure Pavilion for appraisal, I'll know more," Su Xin thought to himself.
For the next three days, Su Xin stayed inside this cave.
He had spent very little time executing the Divine Extinction Technique to slay those three sinister youths previously. He was still far from reaching its limits, and as his cultivation improved, the burden that technique placed on his body seemed to have lessened significantly compared to before. In just three short days, his condition had already recovered to its peak.
Then he continued to search for prey within the Blood Sacrifice Mountains.
After a short while, he found a level four high-ranking demonic beast. After spending some time, Su Xin killed the beast.
From this point onwards, the third phase mission requiring the hunting of ten fourth-order high-grade demonic beasts was complete. Su Xin didn't linger in the Blood Sacrifice Mountains any longer and immediately returned.
Five days later, Su Xin returned to Tianyan Palace.
……
I'm back.
Back at the Tianyan Palace, Su Xin was in a great mood.
This time's training mission, the first and second stage missions, weren't really that difficult for him.
The third stage mission was a bit more complicated, and along the way we encountered those three mischievous young men, causing quite a stir.
Overall, his mission this time went quite smoothly.
The Lord of the Imperial Moon Palace
Su Xin came to the presence of the Empress of Diyue Palace, and respectfully bowed.
Upon seeing Su Xin, a hint of surprise flashed in Di Yue Gong's eyes.
Su Xin's training mission was arranged by her. It wasn't just Su Xin, but also the nine geniuses who entered Tianyan Palace with Su Xin previously, all of whom had undergone training missions.
Besides Su Xin, the other nine geniuses had all broken through to the Void Refinement Realm. The difficulty of the trials they received was actually quite similar.
The Empress of the Imperial Moon Palace had been worried before. Although Su Xin was the first in the hunt and progressed quickly within the Heavenly Flame Palace, after all, his cultivation hadn't reached the Void Breaking Realm yet. She wondered if this trial would be too difficult for him.
To everyone's surprise, Su Xin was the first of the ten prodigies to complete their training mission and return.
Like Xia Mang, Duan Yunfeng and Su Xin, who received their training missions on the same day, they haven't returned yet.
"Su Xin, hand over your mission scroll to me," the Emperor Yue Palace Master said.
Su Xin handed the three scrolls of missions to the Mistress of the Imperial Moon Palace.
The Emperor Moon Palace master carefully unrolled each of the three scroll missions.
"The first stage mission, you did very well. The five thousand fire points of the mission reward can all be given to the main road of Diyue Palace."
Su Xin couldn't help but smile.
The first stage task is the easiest.
“The second stage mission requires you to wipe out Wuxin Fort and kill 28 mission targets, including the leader of Wuxin Fort. You have indeed wiped out Wuxin Fort and killed its leader, but of those 28 mission targets, you only killed 21. The Lord of Diyue Palace looked at Su Xin.”
Although she had never seen him with her own eyes.
The Scarlet Dragon Tower oversees the world, possessing the most comprehensive intelligence network in the entire Heavenly Flame Empire.
After Su Xin wiped out Wuxin Fort, the number of powerful fighters killed there by Su Xin was already known to Chi Long Lou, who had compiled the information and sent it to the Mistress of Di Yue Palace.
"The second stage mission, while not completely finished, is still half done. Most importantly, you killed the main leader of Wuxin Fort and all eight other leaders, so for this second stage mission, you will be awarded 8,000 fire points and the Emperor's Moon Palace Master title."
"Eight thousand fire points" Su Xin's eyes lit up.
In the second stage of the mission, the reward is a total of ten thousand fire points. He can get eight thousand fire points, which is already very satisfying.
As for the third stage mission... Su Xin, bring out the bodies of the demon beasts you killed to Emperor Yue Palace Master said.
Su Xin immediately waved his hand, and a pile of monster corpses appeared beside him.
These demon beast corpses had already turned cold. With the Emperor Moon Palace Master's discerning eye, he could tell from the faint traces of energy remaining on the demon beast corpses that these beasts were all high-level fourth-order demon beasts in life.
"Good, ten fourth-tier high-level demonic beasts, all completed. This third stage mission can also give you a reward of 10,000 fire points. The rewards for the three stages combined total 23,000 fire points. Take out your identity token," said the Empress Moon Palace Master.
Su Xin hurriedly took out his identity token.
Suddenly, with a single stroke of the Emperor Moon Palace Master's hand, an additional twenty-three thousand fire points appeared within Su Xin's identity token.
"23,000 fire points!" Su Xin couldn't help but be excited.
You have to know, before he worked hard to win the first place in the hunt, and only after entering the Tianyan Palace did he get 10,000 fire points as an initial resource.
Now, for a single training mission, you can get as much as 23,000 points...
Don't get too excited
The master of Di Yue Gong over there looked over, "These training missions are specifically arranged by our Tian Yan Gong for you newcomers. They allow you to gain a large amount of fire points in a short time. However, each disciple of Tian Yan Gong only has this one chance. There won't be another one afterwards, so you must save these fire points and use them wisely. Use them where they matter most."
"Su Xin nodded."
"Besides, after completing the training mission, you can go to the Hundred Battles Hall and take on some regular missions issued by our Heavenly Flame Palace. If you have time, you can go and see what Empress Moon Palace Master has to say,"
"Su Xin nodded again."
In the Tiyan Palace, there are three ways to obtain a fire point.
The first is the fight of gambling.
Second, you can go to the Treasure Pavilion and exchange treasures for items.
The third way, and the most common way for Tianyan Palace disciples to obtain fire points, is to take on regular missions and receive fire point rewards.
"Well, if there's nothing else, you may go. " The Empress of Diyue Palace waved her hand.
Su Xin bowed again and then immediately turned to leave.
……
After completing his mission with the Empress of Diyue Palace, Su Xin immediately went to the Treasure Pavilion.
Inside the Treasure Pavilion, there are countless treasures.
Before, he didn't have enough fire points in his hand. Many treasures he desperately wanted were beyond his reach because he simply didn't have enough fire points to exchange for them.
But now, with 23,000 fire points in hand, he can exchange for many things.
Su Xin first redeemed the mid-chapter of "Essence of Sword Intent," spending a whopping 10,000 fire points!
Before, the previous exchange only contained a detailed analysis of the first to ninth sword intent essences. But now he has comprehended seven sword intent essences, and the eighth is also being contemplated. It's probably just a matter of time before he fully comprehends all nine. At that time, naturally, he will need to use the middle part of "Sword Intent Essence Explanation".
This essay, however, contains the analysis of sixty-four kinds of sword intent essence, from the first to the third level. It is crucial to Su Xin.
After that, Su Xin exchanged for another Sword Rain Scroll, which was immensely helpful in cultivating sword intent.
The Jian Yu scroll... is an extraordinarily complete painting.
The scroll depicted a torrential rain scene, with three hundred and eighty-one raindrops filling the entire canvas, representing the three hundred and eighty-one essences of sword intent.
Every raindrop contains the essence of this process of evolution for the sword intent.
Just like the nine stars on the stone walls of the Starry Palace, they are merely raindrops in the sword intent scroll, their evolution process is not as meticulous as the nine stars. However, it is still an incredibly fine evolution, and it will not have any impact on future cultivation and comprehension.
Su Xin had discovered the existence of this Jian Yu scroll in Zhen Bao Ge a long time ago. He had also heard Jiu Chen Dao Zhu mention it during his lectures before. Jiu Chen Dao Zhu even said, in front of all the kendo disciples of Tian Yan Palace, that any disciple who studied kendo, as long as they had enough fire points, could exchange for a copy of the Jian Yu scroll, which would be extremely helpful for their understanding of sword intent.
Jiuchendaozhu's words, Su Xin naturally heard them.
The Jian Yu Scroll is incredibly valuable, as it contains three hundred and eighty-one essences of sword intent. It can be continuously pondered to reach the third level and even achieve complete sword intent mastery. Su Xin spent a full seven thousand five hundred fire points on it.
Next, Su Xin wanted to exchange for a sword suitable for himself.
Before, I fought demons in the Blood Sacrifice Mountains. Facing those thick-skinned beasts, it was indeed tiring to kill them with ordinary weapons.
And within the Treasure Pavilion, there are many weapons whose power has significantly increased, possessing immense might.
This weapon is known as... a secret treasure!
Treasures are divided into low-grade, high-grade, top-grade, and supreme treasures.
Treasures of different tiers have varying levels of power.
In the Heavenly Flame Dynasty, treasures are incredibly precious.
Many cultivators from the Void-Breaking Realm, including many late Void-Breaking and even peak Void-Breaking experts, mostly do not possess treasures in their hands.
Just like the two cultivators at the peak of the Void Shattering realm who were killed by Su Xin on Blood Sacrifice Mountain before, they used relatively ordinary weapons, not treasures.
And within the Treasure Pavilion, there are simply too many treasures. Don't even mention low-grade or high-grade treasures; even top-grade treasures and ultimate treasures can be found here. It's just that some of the more valuable ones have outrageous prices.
Su Xin exchanged the middle chapter of "Sword Intent Essence" and the Sword Rain Scroll, already spending 17,500 Fire Points. The remaining Fire Points were nowhere near enough to exchange for top-grade treasures, let alone top-quality ones. In the end, Su Xin chose a high-grade divine sword named "Qing Wu," costing 3,000 Fire Points.
"Just finished handing in the mission, got 23,000 fire points, still felt pretty good, but now after redeeming the treasures, it's back to square one. Su Xin smiled wryly."
After redeeming all three treasures, he had less than 3,000 fire points left.
This spark isn't even enough to make him go to the Starry Palace for a single contemplation.
Anyway, he also gained some other benefits from this training mission.
Inside the Treasure Pavilion, there was a jade used specifically for appraising treasures. Su Xin took out all the treasures he had obtained from the powerful individuals he had slain during his training mission and placed them on the jade one by one for appraisal.
These treasures are of little value and can only fetch a dozen or so fire points at most.
It won't be long...
"Hmm"
Su Xin looked at the appraisal given on the jade and couldn't help but be delighted, "This secret manual can actually be exchanged for eight hundred fire points"
He had just taken out a secret manual from the storage ring of that enigmatic young man. It could be exchanged for 800 fire points, and the level of this manual was obviously not low.
After having all the treasures from this line identified and exchanged, Su Xin also gained one thousand four hundred fire points.
And next, Su Xin only had the last treasure left to appraise.
This treasure...was obtained from that sinister young man, a blood-red fruit containing unique magical power...
……ixth mountain peak completely disappeared from view did Su Xin let out a heavy sigh.My own master, he felt like a peerless divine sword with its blade gleaming brightly. His boundless sword intent was...
