Chapter 1982: Three-star Ghost Hunter
Chapter 1982: Chapter 1982: Three-star Ghost Hunter
In the Free Region, within a certain area.
Bang...
A violent poison suddenly erupted and spread.
Dozens of miles in radius turned into a toxic deathly silence within seconds.
A figure slowly walked out of the poisonous mist, indifferent and cold.
The figure was none other than Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi paid no heed to the corpses scattered all around.
He only sensed the vast collection of Universe Rings in his hands.
This was a large branch of the Evil Cultivators.
"All the cultivation items combined are barely worth a low-grade spiritual vein." Xiao Yi frowned, somewhat disappointed.
It’s not that all the spoils are spirit stones.
But some of the elixirs, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and a small number of mid-grade spirit stones, low-grade spirit stones, when added up, barely match a low-grade spiritual vein.
Some of the stronger evil cultivators also have a small number of mid-grade spirit stones.
As for high-grade spirit stones, none have been seen in any evil cultivator, not even in the elder-level evil cultivators of the Supreme Realm.
It is evident that high-grade spirit stones are indeed rare.
In fact, cultivation items equivalent to a low-grade spiritual vein are already quite a lot.
After all, to form a spiritual vein, the number of spirit stones must be at least in the tens of thousands.
And for a Saint Emperor Realm expert, a dozen low-grade spirit stones are enough for normal cultivation.
However, the gap between low-grade spirit stones, mid-grade spirit stones, and high-grade spirit stones is over 10 times.
Meaning, one high-grade spiritual vein equals the power of a hundred low-grade spiritual veins.
Thus, these spoils are completely insignificant to Xiao Yi.
On the other hand, those evil formation plates, a large pile of them, each comparable to a low-grade holy device; if these could be exchanged for spirit stones, they would be quite valuable.
Unfortunately, these items are only useful to evil cultivators; for others, they are worthless scraps.
"Sigh." Xiao Yi sighed and shook his head before his figure flashed and flew away.
Though he had hunted evil cultivators before, the haul was more or less the same.
But when his cultivation was lower, these spoils were quite substantial.
Now, they aren’t enough.
...
Xiao Yi stopped at another region.
Now, it had been three days since he left the Free Region.
It’s worth noting that in the Free Region, there are no evil cultivators whatsoever.
He wouldn’t be mistaken about that.
No matter how well evil cultivators conceal themselves, they can’t escape his Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes’ heaven and earth perception.
It makes sense that in Guisha City, there are plenty of notorious people who would still hunt down fearsome evil cultivators for missions.
And within Guisha City, so many evil cultivator missions are naturally the targets of numerous Ghost Hunters.
So, not many evil cultivators dare to go to the Free Region.
Half a day later.
Xiao Yi cleared another evil cultivator and departed again.
In some regions, evil cultivators are not that rampant.
At most, dozens of branches.
Thus, what he can obtain is roughly equivalent to the value of dozens of low-grade spiritual veins.
...
Ten days later.
The number of regions Xiao Yi cleared reached an astonishing fifty.
Every day he cleared over five regions.
He was now far more powerful than when he was in the Eastern Range.
Back then, he, as Yi Xiao, had a difficult time dealing with the Poison Robe for quite a while.
Now, if he faced the Poison Robe, it probably wouldn’t last a single move against him.
Hence, his clearing speed far exceeded before.
After sensing the contents of his Universe Ring those past days, Xiao Yi nodded slightly satisfied.
All the cultivation items combined were roughly equivalent to two thousand low-grade spiritual veins, about 20 high-grade spiritual veins.
"Better return to Guisha City for now." Xiao Yi murmured to himself.
With a swift flicker, he vanished from his original location.
The evil cultivator missions he took from Guisha City were all completed.
With his speed, it wouldn’t take long to traverse even a hundred regions if he flew in a straight line.
Minutes later.
Inside the Guisha City Lord Mansion.
Xiao Yi handed over the tasks one by one.
The token in his hand, imbued with his aura and depicting the ghostly pattern, was originally blank on both sides.
Now, three black starlights suddenly appeared.
This indicated he was now a three-star Ghost Hunter.
The Guisha City Lord Mansion also had its regulations and evaluations for Ghost Hunters.
The highest rank for Ghost Hunters was 6 stars.
There weren’t even 10 in the entire Guisha City.
Anyone holding a 5-star Ghost Hunter rank would likely be a famous name in the Central Region, a legend.
His current three-star Ghost Hunter rank was neither high nor low.
Of course, it also showed that the star ranking system for Ghost Hunters had a very high value and was very challenging to advance.
After these days of sweeping and clearing countless evil cultivation branches and completing nearly a thousand evil cultivator missions, he merely qualified for a three-star Ghost Hunter.
"It only took 10 days to advance from no star to three stars, remarkable." A martial artist at the mission counter muttered in surprise.
"Advancing to a three-star Ghost Hunter means you now possess part of the Ghost Hunter’s authority."
"From now on, you can take missions without any restrictions."
The martial artist in the City Lord’s Mansion respectfully explained.
As a three-star Ghost Hunter, if he wished, he could join the Guisha City Lord Mansion and become one of the Ghostly Evil Guards under the Guisha City Lord.
In terms of status, it was slightly higher than this mission counter attendant.
Xiao Yi nodded and picked up a dozen task scrolls from the mission counter, handing them to the attendant.
"Which task do you want to take?" The attendant politely asked, looking at the densely packed tasks on the scrolls.
If it were any ordinary Ghost Hunter who dared hand over tasks so unclearly for him to record, he would not have been as pleasant or even rebuked them.
"All of them." Xiao Yi coldly uttered two words.
"What?" The mission counter attendant was shocked, "All of them? Are you joking with me, sir?"
"Do I look like I’m joking with you?" Xiao Yi coldly stared at the mission attendant.
The cold gaze, the hoarse tone, made the mission counter attendant shiver.
"Uh, alright." The attendant instinctively replied, quickly beginning to record everything.
After a while, the attendant finished recording and handed back the token.
Xiao Yi then said, "I want to look at the treasure map of the City Lord Mansion."
"Okay." This time, without any nonsense, the mission counter staff directly took out a manual and handed it to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi took it and walked to a corner to browse through it.
The Guisha City Lord Mansion attracted so many martial artists to become Ghost Hunters.
Besides the significant authority and benefits of being a Ghost Hunter, there were also substantial mission rewards.
And most importantly, there was the treasure vault of the Guisha City Lord.
It’s rumored that the vault of the Guisha City Lord Mansion contains all the treasures in the world.
What cannot be found outside can surely be found in the vault.
And Ghost Hunters, as long as they have the rank and enough missions, can receive gifts from the Guisha City Lord to exchange for the treasures inside.
Xiao Yi quickly flipped through the treasure map.
In no time, his eyes abruptly squinted, "Ten Thousand Poison Fruit."
...
Second part.
