The second floor of the Mission Building was where ordinary missions were handed in. Once you complete an ordinary mission, you can go to the second floor to hand in the mission and receive the corresponding reward. The third floor of the Mission Building was where sect missions were handed in. If you received a sect mission, then you would have to go to the third floor to hand in the mission.
Zhao Hai slowly walked into the Mission Building. The Mission Building was very lively. There were a lot of outer disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple here to receive missions. Because of this, the large hall was very noisy. The bar inside was also very crowded.
Zhao Hai looked at the outer disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple. These outer disciples also looked at Zhao Hai. Most of the outer disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple were monks. Very few of them were dressed like monks. Because of this, when Zhao Hai came in, he attracted a lot of attention. Some people even pointed at Zhao Hai.
However, Zhao Hai didn't pay attention to them. Instead, he directly walked into the hall. Before long, he arrived at the innermost part of the hall. There was a large crystal board with some missions displayed on it. But unlike other missions, these missions had the word 'Sect' written behind them.
Zhao Hai carefully looked at these missions. These missions were almost impossible to complete by one person. All of them required a team to complete. Moreover, there was no restriction on one's level. In other words, these missions were very simple and could be done by any outer disciple. However, there were also some missions that were destined to be led by an inner disciple. And for these missions, the rewards of the outer disciples wouldn't be very high.
Zhao Hai looked at these missions and finally focused on one. This mission wasn't difficult. The area under the rule of the Iron Buddha Temple wasn't small. This mission was reported from one of the areas under the rule of the Iron Buddha Temple. Under the rule of the Iron Buddha Temple, several villages in the mountains outside Burning Incense City were massacred. The villagers were all dead. What made Zhao Hai feel strange was that these villagers were all gathered in an open area in the village. When they died, they were all kneeling with smiles on their faces. It was very strange.
There was only an ordinary branch of the Iron Buddha Temple in Burning Incense City. This branch didn't have any disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple stationed there. It was managed by a family that had a close relationship with the Iron Buddha Temple. The strongest person in this family was only a twelfth order Qi Refinement cultivator. He couldn't solve this matter, so he reported it. According to the Sect's guess, there should be a low-level Demon Cultivator cultivating there. This person seemed to be collecting souls.
The reason why Zhao Hai knew this information was because he noticed the mission. The crystal board was obviously an artifact. As long as one paid attention to one of the missions for more than a few seconds, the information about the mission would automatically appear in one's mind. It was just like using one's Spiritual Energy to scan the jade slip. This was very simple.
The mission that Zhao Hai noticed this time was a five-person mission. In other words, this mission was to be completed by a team of five people.
Zhao Hai looked at it and felt that this mission was a bit interesting, so he took out his ID card and walked to the bar. Although there were a lot of people around, there weren't many people who actually accepted the mission. Zhao Hai went directly to the bar. Behind the bar sat a young monk. Zhao Hai bowed to the monk and said, "Amitabha. Junior Brother, please. I want to take the fifty-third mission." After saying that, Zhao Hai handed over his ID card.
The monk returned the salute and said a Buddhist chant. Then he took Zhao Hai's ID card and scanned it with his Spiritual Energy. Then he handed the ID card back to Zhao Hai and said, "Alright, the mission has been confirmed. Now we need one more person to complete the mission. Senior Brother, please go back and wait. As long as there are five people, we will immediately notify you and let you do the mission."
Zhao Hai bowed to the monk and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother." Then he took his ID card and turned around to leave. As for how the monk would notify him, he didn't care. He was sure that the monk would have a way.
Before long, Zhao Hai returned to his courtyard and began to practice the stances of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. These stances were very important to Cultivators, especially those who practiced the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. No matter what kind of metal you use, these stances can help you refine the Iron Essence Qi in your body, allowing the Iron Essence Qi to fuse with you.
Zhao Hai practiced these stances over and over again. The black color on his skin seemed to be slowly seeping into his body. It was very strange.
After some time, Zhao Hai put away the stances. Then he took his bowl and went to eat. After eating, Zhao Hai practiced the stances for a while before returning to his room and reciting scriptures. Although it wasn't time for the evening class, Zhao Hai still recited scriptures for a long time. This was because Buddhist scriptures had an immeasurable effect on Buddhist Techniques. Because of this, Zhao Hai was very attentive.
The next morning, just as Zhao Hai finished his morning class and was eating, a Buddhist seal suddenly appeared beside him. When Zhao Hai touched the seal, a message immediately came out. The content of the message was very simple. It was to inform him that the five people that Zhao Hai accepted for the mission were all present. Moreover, they were about to leave. The destination was the transmission formation. The leader of the team was a monk wearing a red kasaya.
Zhao Hai ate the rice in his bowl in a few mouthfuls. Then he walked outside and arrived at the transmission formation. There were a lot of people there, but Zhao Hai quickly saw the person who was going to do the mission with him. This was because the monk wearing the red kasaya was too conspicuous.
The monk was very tall, more than two meters tall. However, he was also very thin. He stood there like a black skeleton. His skin was very dark, it seems like his Iron Buddha Lotus Body was very profound. Moreover, his spiritual qi had reached the twelfth level of Qi Refinement.
Zhao Hai walked towards the monk and gave him a salute, "Amitabha. Jing Hai has seen Senior Brother. Is Senior Brother going to carry out the 53rd mission?"
The monk looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Amitabha. Junior Brother Jing Hai, you're welcome. Good, we all accepted the 53rd mission. This poor monk is Nuyin. Junior Brother is very polite."
Zhao Hai returned the salute and said, "Senior Brother is too polite. This poor monk is late. I ask Senior Brother to forgive me. Senior Brothers, Jing Hai is very polite."
The other three monks also bowed towards Zhao Hai and said: "Amitabha, Junior Brother is too polite. Greetings, Na Ling (Na Mu) (Na Shi)." These three monks were nothing special. Their Spirit Qi was around the eighth stage of the Qi Transformation Realm, while the Iron Buddha Lotus Body should be at the second stage. However, it was possible that they had switched to another cultivation method.
Nuan Yin looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Alright, Junior Brothers, it's about time. Let's go." Zhao Hai and the others chanted the name of Buddha at the same time. Naturally, no one objected. Then, the three of them walked into a teleportation array. Then, with a flash of white light, they disappeared into the teleportation array.
In the next moment, they appeared in a teleportation array in a city. When the white light disappeared, Zhao Hai saw a cultivator standing outside the teleportation array. This cultivator had dark skin. It was obvious that he also cultivated the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. However, this person wasn't a monk. He should be the patriarch of the family that had a good relationship with the Iron Buddha Temple. This person's Spirit Qi was at the twelfth stage of the Qi Transformation Realm.
When the person saw Zhao Hai and the others, he immediately put his palms together and said, "Amitabha. Greetings, Grandmasters. Fu Jingchen greets you."
The five of them quickly put their palms together and said, "Amitabha. Sir Fu is too polite. We really don't deserve to be called Grandmasters."
Fu Jingchen smiled and said, "Grandmasters are too polite. This way, please. I've prepared a meal at my residence. Grandmasters, please come with me. We can talk about this matter while we eat."
"Amitabha, there's no need for a meal. We just had a meal before coming here. Why don't Scholar Fu tell us more about this matter so that we can understand the situation?" Zhao Hai nodded and said in a low voice.
When Fu Jingchen heard Nuan Yin, he also said, "Alright. If Grandmasters want to go now, please come with me. We can talk while we walk." Then he led the group forward. Although there were a lot of people on the street, when these people saw Fu Jingchen and Zhao Hai, they quickly bowed and retreated to the side. However, they didn't seem to be in a panic.
Fu Jingchen didn't pay attention to these people. Instead, he walked forward and said, "It happened five days ago. Outside of Incense City, there's a mountain called Incense Burner Mountain. This mountain can be considered a large mountain. However, the surrounding mountains are still peaceful. There are only some low-level beasts living there. Therefore, a lot of mountain people lived there, forming villages. These mountain people would occasionally bring low-level beasts to the city to trade. But recently, the people in the city have discovered that these mountain people haven't appeared in the city for a long time. And with the mountain people's reserves, it's impossible for them to not trade for such a long time. When I heard this news, I immediately sent people to take a look. The result was that five mountain people's villages were massacred. All of the mountain people were dead. Their deaths were very strange. They gathered together and died with a smile on their face. There were no traces left at the scene. I personally went to investigate but I didn't find anything. Therefore, I had no choice but to send help to the temple. The village where these people were massacred is south of Incense Burner Mountain." While talking, they unknowingly arrived at the gate of Incense City.
At the gate of Incense City stood several young people. These young people had dark skin. It was clear that they cultivated the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. However, they didn't cultivate it for a long time and their level wasn't high.
