Chapter 502: Purifying Spiritual Water (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)
"I am here just as the jade token indicates. May I ask who you are, fellow Taoist? Where are you going to take me? Do you have any spiritual objects to prove your identity?"
Sun Mingsheng certainly has something to ask for, but he is not someone who can be easily manipulated by others, and not just anyone can take him away easily.
"Since you are here for the silver jade soul silkworm, just follow me to your destination. Why are you so persistent?"
The monk wearing a vivid monkey mask naturally showed an impatient look in his tone. Even if his own cultivation is slightly inferior, he is not afraid.
"I only have a jade token bought at an auction at a high price, and how can I believe your disguise? Please show me a token to prove your identity, otherwise I would rather not have the silver jade soul silkworm and would never leave with you."
With Sun Mingsheng's cautious character and the hidden risks that already existed in this trip, he would naturally not follow a strange monk for no reason.
"Fellow Daoist is indeed cautious. This is my identity jade token. In addition, this set of clothes that can conceal the breath belongs to you from now on."
After repeated attempts, all ended in failure. The tone of the monk in front of him immediately turned from gloomy to sunny, and all the unpleasant things in the past seemed to have never happened.
He handed over a jade token that was roughly the same as the one that was pulled, but with a strange shape. When this jade token appeared, the two jade tokens immediately burst into waves of vibrations with the same frequency.
"Fellow Daoist, please lead the way."
Sun Mingsheng put on a set of clothes that concealed his breath in no time, and put a mask that looked like a cow on his head to prevent the leakage of his own information.
Judging from the current outfit of the traction messenger, the subsequent actions obviously need to conceal his own breath, and the mission of this trip is most likely shameful.
Just like the journey here, the whole process lasted for more than ten days. During the whole process, the two were in a relatively silent state, without any mutual inquiry or understanding, until they stopped on a bare hill.
When Sun Mingsheng arrived here, there were already four ninth-level foundation-building cultivators sitting cross-legged in different positions to adjust their breath and wait.
"Five ninth-level foundation-building cultivators, there may be more cultivators coming, the difficulty of this mission can be imagined"
One thought after another kept churning in his mind, and his eyes kept turning around, observing the surrounding environment, hoping to gain something.
Of course, on the surface, there was no expression at all, as indifferent as a mask, sitting cross-legged on the bluestone waiting for the final task to be presented.
The sun rose and the moon set, the day and night alternated, time passed, and six days and nights passed in a flash.
It seemed that Sun Mingsheng was the last cultivator to arrive here. Since he appeared, no new cultivator has ever appeared.
The monks behind the jade tokens were the same. After their respective traction messengers led the corresponding monks here, they seemed to have completed all the tasks, and no one else showed any trace.
However, the people behind the scenes had tried their best to recruit the ninth-level foundation-building monks in front of them, so they obviously would not let them stay in the same place to rest and recuperate quietly.
"Welcome all Taoist friends to come on time. I would like to express my gratitude."
On this day, a ninth-level foundation-building monk wearing a wild boar head mask, who was actually like a sword out of the body, finally arrived late and appeared in front of the five monks.
"Since we have been invited here, it is naturally for the silver jade soul silkworm, but the Taoist friend actually has five of these rare items in his hand? Are you taking advantage of the fact that the five of us don't know how to count?"
Perhaps because of waiting for a long time, perhaps because of mutual testing, or perhaps for other reasons, a monk with a snake mask sitting in the front row already had some questioning in his tone.
Of course, this is also a point of common concern for the five foundation-building cultivators in the group. As soon as Fang proposed it, the attention of the five ninth-level foundation-building cultivators was immediately attracted.
After all, the silver jade soul silkworm is an extremely rare wonder of heaven and earth. If you get one by chance, it is still trustworthy, but if you can provide five, it is questionable.
"The silver jade soul silkworm may be a rare treasure for you fellow Taoists, but for us, it is just a little precious."
The wild boar mask monk responded quite firmly, as if this kind of heaven and earth spiritual object that can assist cultivators in condensing golden elixir is readily available.
"Anyone can make a promise at will, and there is no need to pay any price. Since the five of us have come here at the risk of our lives, fellow Taoists naturally need to show their sincerity."
The snake mask monk was also unwilling to step back, and subconsciously brought the five cultivators with him during his words, as if they were in the same boat.
"Fellow Daoist Snake has a point. Since we are required to complete the mission at the cost of our lives, we naturally need some sincerity."
"Fellow Daoist Snake and Fellow Daoist Goat have indeed expressed our doubts. Please help us solve them."
Faced with five ninth-level foundation-building cultivators who would not release their eagles until they saw the rabbit, the cultivator wearing a wild boar mask showed unprecedented importance.
"Your words make sense, but all the silver jade soul silkworms are controlled by the Golden Pill Ancestor. However, I have five portions of body-cleansing spiritual water in my hand, which I can give to you as extra rewards."
After thinking for a long time, the wild boar mask took out five transparent jade bottles, which contained some thick golden liquid.
Before the cultivator formally tried to condense the golden pill, the body-cleansing spiritual water could be evenly broken through on the body, which could effectively expel the impurities contained in the body and have a little auxiliary effect on the condensation of the golden pill. Its effect was roughly similar to that of the second-grade upper-grade snake dragon blood obtained at the beginning. In short, it was better than nothing.
The effect of the body-cleansing spiritual water itself was quite pitiful, but its value was not affected at all. In the world of cultivation where there were more wolves than meat, any spiritual object that could help condense the golden pill was worth fighting for, especially for the five cultivators from small and medium-sized families in front of them.
"Since you prepared the body-cleansing water in advance, we naturally believe in your sincerity and will be loyal to you."
After the leading monk with snake mask took the body-cleansing water, he no longer hesitated about the subsequent tasks and became quite decisive.
The other four monks, including Sun Mingsheng, naturally did not have any doubts. The suspicions between them before were completely dissipated under the impact of this bottle of body-cleansing water.
"May I ask you, fellow Taoist, what is our mission? Will there be any Jindan ancestors participating in this operation?"
Sun Mingsheng, who was wearing a bull head, also asked about the specific situation of the target.
After all, for them, whether there are Jindan monks participating in the whole process, there is a clear difference in the degree of danger they face, so how can they not care?
