CHAPTER 147: 146. JOURNEY MISSION (2/4)

Wen Ping did not immediately take action to pick it up, but coldly said to the Red-eyed Giant Ape, "Red-eye, who allowed you to kill people at will at the Immortal Sect? Have the trees behind Yunlan Mountain been planted well?"

"The soil on this mountain is too hard, this king simply can’t dig. An iron pickaxe breaks instantly; no matter how hard this king punches, it won’t crack, truly ’unique’. No wonder you want me to stay at the Immortal Sect for 300 years. Forget three hundred years, five hundred years won’t be enough to plant all the trees."

Saying this, the Red-eyed Giant Ape squatted down and reached out toward Han Wen’s Storage Ring.

Wen Ping, seeing this, immediately said, "What are you doing again?"

The Red-eyed Giant Ape responded with a grin, "My Gold Shuttle Leaf is definitely in this kid’s Storage Ring. I originally thought it was lost, but didn’t expect this guy to walk right into my trap, delivering himself here."

Just as the Red-eyed Giant Ape slowly reached out, Wen Ping swiftly removed the Storage Ring, facing the red-eyed giant ape who stood up and glared angrily at him. Wen Ping coldly said, "You just realized the soil is hard today, which means you’ve been lazy these past few days?"

Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, the Red-eyed Giant Ape’s heart skipped a beat, squeezing out a forced smile with a laugh.

How could I forget that!

This kid said if I was lazy, he would feed me to the Flood Dragon.

The Red-eyed Giant Ape hurriedly explained, "No... I need to adapt to the new life first, socialize with everyone, and I had to move those broken logs; all these take time. I only had time today to dig pits and plant trees."

But Wen Ping acted as if he hadn’t heard, turning around, he shouted to the approaching Mountain Dog, "Haha, catch this ’little monkey’ and send it directly to the Flood Dragon for dinner!"

Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, the Red-eyed Giant Ape couldn’t help but curse twice in his heart, complaining about Wen Ping’s unkindness.

As a Demon King helping him plant trees, just being lazy for two days, yet he wants to feed it to the Flood Dragon.

Seeing the Mountain Dog approaching, the Red-eyed Giant Ape put on an awkward yet polite smile, then dashed into the forest nearby, disappearing into the undisturbed trees.

Not running was better, this escape completely forgot about the Gold Shuttle Leaf.

Just as the Mountain Dog was about to catch up, Wen Ping called it off, "Don’t chase." With that, Wen Ping waved his hand, and a Fire Dragon pounced on Han Wen’s corpse, turning Han Wen into ashes within moments.

Qin Shan, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Extreme Realm Mountain’s Young Master, such a big figure in East Lake, yet died here in Cangwu City. But thinking about how many strong individuals have died at the Immortal Sect in just a few days, the number already reaching six, even a Demon King being subdued, Qin Shan learned to calmly face this.

He swiftly turned his gaze towards the Storage Ring in Wen Ping’s hand.

Of course, he wouldn’t think that all the materials for creating the Vortex Map were in that Storage Ring, so many precious Celestial Materials and Earthly Treasures, Extreme Realm Mountain certainly would store each item securely immediately.

Unfortunately, he realized he was a bit too late.

Extreme Realm Mountain had almost gathered all the Celestial Materials and Earthly Treasures for creating the Vortex Map, only missing the Demon King’s Gold Shuttle Leaf and that specific item in the Sect Leader Wen’s hand—luckily, both items are now in Wen Ping’s hands.

Without these two items, Flying Fish Island still had a chance for a comeback.

...

Back at Tingyu Pavilion, Wen Ping followed the system’s method to open the ownerless Storage Ring.

Simultaneously, through the system’s introduction, Wen Ping gained a general understanding of the Storage Ring.

A Storage Ring is worth ten thousand Gold Coins in actual value.

If considering practical value, it’s immense.

It contains a space of nearly ten cubic meters for storing items, ensuring safety for stored items as the Storage Ring recognizes its owner. Even if stolen, the thief cannot open it, while the owner can sense its location.

However, after the user’s death, the Storage Ring becomes ownerless, and can be opened through Inner Qi Release.

With a sense of anticipation, Wen Ping retrieved all items from the Storage Ring.

The first thing that caught his eyes was a pile of Gold Tickets, some worth a hundred Gold each, others a thousand Gold, enough to dazzle anyone.

Conservatively estimated, there were close to ten thousand Golds. Besides Gold Tickets, the items taken from the Storage Ring were some boxes crafted from jade, particularly Jade Boxes.

Each piece of jade used in crafting the boxes was delicate, translucent, vibrant and pure in color, simple in shape, with solid and substantial material.

Wen Ping had purchased many jades during his days as a carefree young man, and the cheapest of this type of jade costs at least a thousand Golds.

There are thirteen Jade Boxes here, equivalent to thirteen thousand Golds.

Usually, using such fine jade to craft boxes has two reasons. First, perhaps to flaunt wealth and status; second, to preserve Celestial Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Wen Ping naturally preferred the second possibility.

Upon opening the first Jade Box, a radiant smile appeared on Wen Ping’s face.

Then the second, the third.

When he opened the fourth box, Wen Ping saw the Gold Shuttle Leaf, and was ecstatic, enthusiastically opening all the boxes, "This guy had all the Celestial Materials and Earthly Treasures on him."

Wen Ping initially hadn’t thought of this, just wanting to hold the Gold Shuttle Leaf, as it was crucial for the Red-eyed Giant Ape to advance his realm, and controlling it assured a better handle on the unruly Red-eyed Giant Ape.

But who could have predicted hitting the jackpot, the Red-eyed Giant Ape unintentionally accomplished a great task.

As he rejoiced, the system’s voice came. "Host can collect some Wooden Flowing Sand, using it to craft the Vortex Map, allowing possession of two Anomalous Veins."

"Won’t doing this cause conflict between the Anomalous Veins?"

"Hellfire has already fused with the host, it belongs to the host inherently. The Vortex Map is an external item, belonging outside of oneself, as long as they are not used simultaneously, there will naturally be no conflict."

"That’s a huge profit."

With that, Wen Ping’s smile became even brighter.

If he truly finds Wooden Flowing Sand, he could become a Profound Realm cultivator with double Anomalous Veins—a legendary myth.

As Wen Ping delightedly observed, he inadvertently noticed something underneath a Gold Ticket—a gray-white token engraved with the characters Ten Talents Token—which Wen Ping guessed was the Ten Talents Token Han Wen had mentioned.

Picking up the Ten Talents Token from under the Gold Ticket, Wen Ping examined it carefully.

A pop-up suddenly appeared—Flying Ship construction completed.

But before he finished reading the six words on the pop-up, the system’s voice came again.

"Mission Released!"

[Travel to Huangli City—the world outside is vast, with Immortal Sect being little known outside, it should be explored and promoted, letting more people know about Immortal Sect.

This outing task can include two people, either disciples or elders, three persons traveling for ten days.]

[Mission Objective: Let ten thousand people in Huangli City know about the Immortal Sect.]

[Reward: Unlock any construction area, elevate the Changmo Technique to Profound Level Lower Cultivation Technique.]

"Here it comes!"

Wen Ping was truly speechless, it was a day of double happiness, first gaining all Celestial Materials and Earthly Treasures collected by Han Wen, now having the possibility of dual Anomalous Veins, and now a new mission with incredibly generous rewards.

Unlocking any construction area goes without saying, this asset is invaluable anytime. And elevating the Changmo Technique to Profound Level is what Wen Ping is most delighted about.

Profound Level Cultivation Technique.

What concept is this?

There’s no need to elaborate on being stronger by cultivating a Profound Level technique, the most precious aspect is, it’s the path above the Profound Upper realm. Many Upper Profound Realm cultivators have spent their lives at this level.

Why?

Because they couldn’t obtain Profound Level Cultivation Techniques.

Profound Level Cultivation Techniques are the Sect’s Treasures of Three-star Sects, not passed to anyone but Elders and Sect Leaders!
