Gu Qing Shan silently waited for a few moments.
After the System showed that the Quest was completed, it went silent without any response.
What's going on?
Could it be that the Thaumaturgy Quest is just picking up trash?
That's impossible.
Gu Qing Shan weighed the sword in his hand, feeling a bit itchy to try swinging it a few times.
Cultivators are always like this, when they get a new weapon, they'll instinctively try it out a few times to feel the power of the weapon.
This is the natural reaction of humans.
But as soon as Gu Qing Shan made a stance, he abruptly stopped.
He suddenly remembered, almost every person who fainted did so after using their weapon.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the distance of the rain of fire. It's already outside the stronghold.
There's no time to investigate the reason.
He could only put the sword away and fly the airship away.
Not too long after, the rain of fire started to pour down.
The 72 formations couldn't resist at all, easily pierced through by the rain of fire.
The entire stronghold was engulfed in flames.
The demons finally turned from a tidal wave into a chaotic flow, scattering and escaping.
But the rain of fire didn't care about this at all, continuing to move forward in a straight line without stopping.
You Ji camp.
You Ji General Wang Lie was tied up and pinned down.
All the generals were here.
Ning Yuechan was wearing a Ding Yuan General armor, standing in front of him and coldly asked: "Why did you not obey military orders and act on your own?"
Wang Lie is an Ascended realm cultivator, he's never been treated like this before, angrily retorted: "He's only a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, what right does he have to order me around!"
Ning Yuechan asked: "Then why did you give him the authority to command when it's time to give orders?"
Wang Lie was speechless.
Another Ding Yuan General, Monk Ming Hui, begged for mercy: "This person has done a lot of meritorious deeds, he should be punished by demoting him to Chaplain"
Before he finished, a snow-white Blade gleamed as the stench of blood filled the air.
Wang Lie's head was chopped off, but he still had a look of disbelief on his face.
Everyone went silent.
Ning Yuechan sheathed her saber and coldly said: "Due to his meritorious service, he has been promoted to You Ji General. However, during a major battle, he disobeyed orders and deserted. According to military law, he should be beheaded."
"Amitabha, this is a Soul Formation cultivator, he will be of great use in the future." Monk Ming Hui sighed.
"It's precisely because he's a Soul Formation cultivator that we can't tolerate him. He's already like this for small matters. If we rely on him for big matters, he'll definitely ruin things," Ning Yuechan insisted.
She then ordered the generals, "Display their heads to the public!"
"Yes!"
"Alright, everyone disperse."
The generals quickly retreated as if someone was whipping them from behind.
Wang Lie's head was taken away and hung in the military law office.
At this time, only the two Ding Yuan Generals and Gu Qing Shan were left in the tent.
"How is General Gongsun?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Ning Yuechan's gaze softened. "A few highly skilled doctors have said that he will only wake up after a few days."
"What exactly happened?"
"They said that his soul vessel was hit by an intense attack and was wounded"
"I'll go take a look" saying so, Monk Ming Hui left.
Gu Qing Shan took out the map, carefully looked at it and asked: "Why did you suddenly want to explore the ruins? This is a dangerous task, isn't it always done by the three Saints?"
"They're too busy, so your Shifu assigned this task to me" Ning Yuechan answered.
Shifu assigned this task to you? Then what about me?
Gu Qing Shan silently thought about it.
Ning Yuechan tapped her Inventory Bag, took out a glowing purple talisman, and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.
"What is this?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"I met your Shifu before, she asked me to give this Universal Talisman to you" Ning Yuechan answered.
Universal Talismans are extremely high-tier talismans, probably the most difficult to make of all the talismans.
Because it's related to the Law of Space, it's even more powerful than an Inventory Bag.
Unlike Communication Talismans, Communication Talismans can only be used for voice transmission, while Universal Talismans can be used to send items through space.
What one person puts in, the other person can take out from the other side.
Even if the two of them are separated by the space vortex, it won't affect this process.
It takes 10 years to make a single talisman like this, using countless spirit stones and precious materials.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly infused her spirit energy into the Universal Talisman, wanting to see what Shifu wanted to tell her.
The Universal Talisman lit up. A few moments later, a small jade bottle appeared, followed by a Communication Talisman.
Gu Qing Shan first listened to the Communication Talisman.
"I'm taking Sorrow to heal his wounds in the space vortex, take care of yourself, if you can't handle it, run"
"This jade bottle is a divine healing item I found in Shen Wu world, it's much better than the pills of our world, take it"
Holding the jade bottle, Gu Qing Shan felt warm inside, but also a bit worried.
Even the Great Monk of Sorrow is injured, and Shifu couldn't help but hide in the space vortex, they're probably not in a good situation right now.
At this time, a report came from outside, saying that Leng Tian Xing's team had encountered a powerful demon, they've been fighting for one day and one night without a clear winner.
Ning Yuechan then left.
Gu Qing Shan also followed, but Ning Yuechan turned around, put her hand on his armor and pushed him back.
"I'll go alone" Ning Yuechan stared at him for a bit longer, her face a bit red as she spoke.
"I don't have anything to do anyways" Gu Qing Shan insisted.
"Forget it, your sect doesn't have enough people, we can't afford to lose them. Just stay in the camp and don't let anyone worry about you" Ning Yue Xi said without looking back, then quickly left the tent.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, a bit annoyed.
It's fine if Shifu is like this, but you're also like this, it's not like I've never participated in a war before, what kind of people are you going to do in the cultivation world?
He could only open the War God UI, looking at the stagnant Quest, silently worried.
There was no one else in the tent. He randomly found a place to sit and took out the broken sword. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see anything special about it.
He suddenly remembered the Quest's description.
[Quest name: Prove your worth]
[Quest description: Display your talents as much as you can, only by performing well enough will you be qualified to complete this Quest]
[Description: If you're trash, no one will give you a second glance]
Looking at the sword, he suddenly had an unbelievable thought.
He cleared his throat a few times, then asked the sword seriously: "This is our first meeting, is there anything this humble one can help you with?"
Silence reigned.
The sword didn't answer.
Gu Qing Shan waited for a bit, then couldn't help but laugh.
So I was just thinking too much.
A few seconds later, his face changed.
That was because the sword in his hand trembled slightly.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but stand up.
The sword has a spirit?
"You — — can you understand what I'm saying?" Gu Qing Shan hesitantly asked.
The sword left his hand, hovering in the air, tip pointing downwards, the hilt lightly touching.
"You're a sword spirit?" Gu Qing Shan's eyes lit up.
A weapon with a spirit can multiply its power, a treasure that only exists in legends.
However, the sword nodded again.
At this time, the large glass orb on the War God UI began to let out a faint light. The mist inside automatically drifted out, entering Gu Qing Shan's pores.
This is the unique power that the Quest mentioned before.
[Ting]!
A crisp sound came from the System.
[Initial Quest: Prove your worth (completed)]
[Reward: Telepathy]
[Telepathy: Spirit-type God's Chosen Skill, allows you to naturally understand weapon spirits]
