One hundred and fortieth chapters frontier drudgery
"An old fox!" After a cold snort, Gu Changsheng held a scythe, stood on the transformed green snake demon soul, turned into a green rainbow and flew towards Taiyue Pavilion.
With the blessing of thunder energy, Green Snake was covered in electric arcs and surpassed dozens of Qi refining stage disciples who were also flying in the mountains at extremely fast speeds.
Perhaps it was because the green snake demon spirit at Gu Changsheng's feet was too domineering. After being surpassed, most of these people looked at Gu Changsheng angrily. However, when they saw that he was in the foundation-building stage, these disciples were afraid.
escaped.
Gu Changsheng didn't pay too much attention to the actions of these people, and there was no expression on his face. Whether they were secular mortals or disciples of the cultivating sect, they were all extremely snobbish. Even in the Heavenly Palace, they had such a virtue, and he was already accustomed to it.
.
Gu Changsheng landed on the square in front of Taiyue Pavilion, waved his robe, put away his scythe, and then strode in.
A deacon disciple in the hall came up to him, asked him why he came, and then brought him to a middle-aged elder.
This person was a little curious after seeing Gu Changsheng, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you the Junior Brother Gu who went home to observe filial piety and successfully built a foundation?"
Gu Changsheng has always been a topic-creating figure in Jiuxiao Sect. This elder had just received gossip from him, so he behaved like this after meeting him.
"Senior Brother Li, I just came from Senior Brother Ye, the leader. He asked me to come to you to receive the task. Is it convenient now?" Gu Changsheng said lightly without responding to the other party's intention.
"Convenient, convenient at any time! But are you sure you want to receive the mission so soon? Not long after Junior Brother Gu succeeded in building the foundation, according to the regulations, you can first go to the Yunlong Mountains to choose a location and open up your own cave, and then come back to receive it three months later.
You don’t actually need to be in such a hurry about the mission!” Elder Li reminded me in a friendly manner.
"Haha, it's okay! I want to determine the mission first and then decide the location of the cave. Isn't that okay?" Gu Changsheng's face softened a little and he smiled slightly.
"Yes, of course, no problem! But I have something to say first. You come to accept the tasks. They are all the tasks that have been assigned to you by the above. According to the rules, you are not allowed to pick! Unless an ancestor assigns you to do some special tasks.
, I can change it for you as appropriate!" Elder Li had already put on a posture of 'You can't blame me!'
When Gu Changsheng heard this, he frowned, but he had already expected that since there were enemies who wanted to kill him, they would naturally not give him good luck.
"It doesn't matter. Since it's a task that a foundation-building monk should receive, I'll just try my best to handle it well!" Gu Changsheng still looked indifferent and had no intention of arguing.
Elder Li was surprised by this young man's performance, and he immediately sent an order to the deacon disciple to take out the mission jade slip.
"Master, the things are here!" The deacon disciple came back soon and respectfully handed a jade slip to Elder Li.
"Well, you go down!" Elder Li waved his sleeves and the disciple bowed and retreated.
"Haha, Junior Brother Gu, this is a jade slip assigned to you. You first unseal the jade slip and check the contents, and then I will record it in the case. If there is no problem with the contents of the file, you can sign and stamp it. Do you understand?"
Elder Li seemed to be very rigorous in his work and said with a serious expression.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Li!" Gu Changsheng put the jade slip on his forehead, and after about half a quarter of an hour, he said slowly, "The station at the border area of 'Hundred Poison Swamp' will be rotated every ten years, and the deacon will take a rest every three years.
Years, fifty low-level spiritual stones per month, is this all the content?"
"That's right, that's all. You sign here and pledge it! Deacon Zhao, mark the positions of the vacant positions in the 'Poison Swamp', and let Uncle Gu choose them until you are satisfied!" Elder Li seemed generous.
He waved his hand to signal the deacon disciple to act according to his instructions.
The eyes of this disciple surnamed Zhao were filled with pity. After giving Gu Changsheng a deep look, he quickly found a map of the 'Hundred Poison Swamp' and pointed out to Gu Changsheng the areas where no one was stationed yet.
"No one is stationed in these mission areas yet. Uncle Gu, please choose carefully!" The disciple surnamed Zhao has marked the locations where no one is stationed yet with a red circle on the map.
Gu Changsheng nodded, took the map and read it carefully.
"In Guhun Ridge, poisonous miasma breaks out three to five times a year, and wolf corpses are often found."
"The Ghost Forest is a gathering place for ghosts and ghosts. There are many poisonous insects. It is dark and humid all year round and is haunted by corpses."
"The Resentful Girl Lake has water pools of dozens of miles. There are many water giants in the mire, and female ghosts come and go at night to seduce their souls."
"Black Soul Valley, there are tens of thousands of ghost soldiers and generals, and the evil spirit is strong all year round..."
…………
The so-called 'Hundred Poison Swamp' is actually a low-lying swamp on the northwest edge of the Yunlong Mountains. There used to be a very famous evil sect called the 'Xiaoxian Sect'. It is said that the evil sect died out overnight.
The members of the congregation disappeared mysteriously, and then a poisonous valley of ghosts and swamps spread out for hundreds of miles was formed.
More than two-thirds of the entire 'Poison Swamp' is vacant!
No wonder the disciple named Zhao looked at him in that way, Gu Changsheng thought to himself.
Ordinary people will definitely feel desperate when seeing these tasks, but Gu Changsheng has a different mood, because he also has another name in the immortal world, 'Poison Immortal and Ghost Seek Sorrow'.
Ordinary poisons have no effect on ghosts, but the poison prepared by Gu Changsheng can melt even ghosts, so they will hide away in fear.
However, refining poisons requires more energy and materials than refining elixirs. The purification methods and mixing ratios of highly toxic substances require a lot of time to practice. Gu Changsheng spent more than five thousand years in his previous life studying poisons in the world.
The title of Poison Immortal is not for nothing!
"The Immortal Devouring Valley, the situation in the valley is unknown. Some kind of poisonous mist will emerge and melt the cultivators into corpse water. This place only needs to be guarded to prevent outsiders from entering by mistake. Entry into the valley is strictly prohibited!"
Gu Changsheng was overjoyed when he saw the word "Kill for this trip" marked on the map. He immediately pointed at the map, raised his head and said to Deacon Yu Zhao: "This is it, will you help me circle it now?"
After listening to Gu Changsheng's words, Deacon surnamed Zhao came over curiously. But when he saw clearly the location chosen by Gu Changsheng to station, the curiosity on his face immediately turned into fright.
"Uncle Gu, I advise you to find another station. No one has ever dared to accept a mission in this station. I heard it is a mission with a narrow escape from death!" Deacon surnamed Zhao is a down-to-earth person and said sincerely.
When he saw that Gu Changsheng didn't pay much attention to it, but had an understatement on his face, he continued to persuade:
"This garrison location is too dangerous. When we were investigating this place, several disciples accidentally broke into the valley. Although they walked out of the valley, they all turned into molten corpses that were half human and half ghost due to inhaling the poisonous mist.
People will all die soon!"
After hearing these words, Gu Changsheng became more certain that there must be what he wanted somewhere. However, in order not to make the other party suspicious, he pretended to be frightened and asked Elder Li for advice:
"Brother, you should be very familiar with these tasks. Is this garrison location really so scary? How come no one chooses to garrison here? Isn't it just a casual guard? Isn't this also difficult to do?"
"Let me see which garrison point Junior Brother Gu has chosen? This location... does look a bit scary, but the advantage is that the task is simple and easy to perform. No one is willing to go to this garrison location, that's because it is too far away
…”
Deacon surnamed Zhao on the side frowned after listening to Elder Li's words before Gu Changsheng responded. He wanted to interrupt first, but was severely stepped on by Elder Li.
"Elder Li is right! Uncle Gu, if you like this position, just choose it boldly, just a little further away!" Deacon surnamed Zhao immediately changed his mind, but he looked like he was gritting his teeth.
After hearing this, Gu Changsheng turned into a half-smiling expression.
