Chapter 75: Encountering a Dragon Whale in the Deep Sea
When Jiao Xiuyuan heard that the target was only a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, he immediately relaxed.
He immediately took on the responsibility and said, "Don't worry, he's just a small Qi Refining cultivator. I promise to help you find out his background clearly. It's just the price..."
Li Fan smiled, "He's just a small Qi Refining cultivator. I guess it shouldn't be too expensive."
Jiao Xiuyuan wanted to slap himself, and said embarrassedly, "There are more or less risks in this business. How about this number?"
He made an eight gesture.
"Forty contribution points, no more." Li Fan shook his head.
"Oh, you're bargaining too much! You still want sixty points, right? Otherwise, it will be another loss-making business!" Jiao Xiuyuan cried out in pain.
Li Fan turned around and left.
"Don't, don't!" Jiao Xiuyuan quickly stopped Li Fan.
"Fifty points, it really can't be any less." He said with a painful look on his face.
Li Fan stopped at this point.
"Please pay a deposit of 10 contribution points first." Jiao Xiuyuan said, handing Li Fan a communication talisman. "When there is a result, I will notify you through this talisman."
Li Fan accepted the talisman and took out a medium-grade spirit stone and handed it to Jiao Xiuyuan.
He didn't leave in a hurry, but looked at the other things for sale in the house.
Jiao Xiuyuan became more enthusiastic when he saw that a big customer came today.
"What else do you want?"
"Do you have any skills to sell? It's best to be an escape technique, or something with a similar effect to the hiding talisman." Li Fan asked.
The expression on Jiao Xiuyuan's face froze immediately.
"Hehe, are you making fun of me? Why don't you take a look at other things? How about this set of maze array diagram? It is definitely a masterpiece among masterpieces. Once it is used, it can trap a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building for a day."
"This set of ice talisman swords is also good, suitable for sneak attacks..."
"Hey, don't leave!"
...
After leaving Qianli Hall, Li Fan returned to the Tianxuan Mirror.
He planned to practice the "Nether Spirit Magic Art" to the late stage of Qi Refining first.
When the Blue Flame Phantom Spirit is completely stable, it can be released to kill the enemy.
With the auxiliary training mode turned on, Li Fan entered into seclusion again.
...
One month later, in the waters of the Eastern Yanjing Island in the Congyun Sea.
In the deep sea, Li Fan restrained his breath and followed a group of red flame sharks.
There were more than a dozen red flame sharks in this group, and they were hunting a lone red whale.
The red whale is huge and feeds on seabed flame crystals all year round. Its skin is like a layer of hard rock.
The red flame sharks have sharp teeth, move quickly, and cooperate seamlessly.
Although it can't cause much damage to the red whale for a while, it can slowly consume its vitality like a blunt knife cutting meat.
The red whale tried to break through the blockade of the red flame sharks several times, but failed.
Gradually, its resistance became more and more powerless.
Li Fan looked at the scene in front of him and knew it was time.
The Blue Flame Phantom Spirit appeared.
Then it turned into a thin blue light, and in an instant it flew through more than a dozen red flame sharks and red whales one by one.
After a moment, it returned to Li Fan's sea of consciousness.
The red flame sharks and red whales suddenly stopped moving.
Then, a cold breath surged out of their bodies. From the inside out, they were frozen.
In just a moment, strange ice sculptures appeared on the seabed.
The expression and movement were like when they were alive, but they had long lost their breath of life.
"The power of the Blue Flame Phantom is really good."
"Most of these sea beasts are equivalent to the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage, and their skin and flesh are thick, making it difficult to hunt them by ordinary means. After launching a spiritual attack with the Blue Flame Phantom, they were like lambs to be slaughtered, without any resistance." Li Fan nodded. He was very satisfied with the first test of the lethality of the phantom.
Not long ago, after spending more than 20 days, he finally succeeded in breaking through the "Nether Spirit Phantom Art" to the late stage of Qi Refining.
In order to test the power of the phantom and earn some contribution points, he took on the task of "hunting the red flame shark and obtaining the beast-like pill in its body."
One beast pill is worth 5 contribution points, so he can earn more than 60 points in total. If you add the materials from the red whale, you can get more than 80 contribution points this time.
How should I put it, it's better than nothing.
In the past, the contribution points were obtained in units of "thousands", so this little bit was really hard to cause Li Fan's inner fluctuations.
Thinking of this, Li Fan was about to go forward to harvest the beast pill of the red flame shark.
But suddenly he felt that a huge figure was approaching from the deep sea below.
Li Fan's face changed, and he didn't care about the beast pill that was close at hand, and quickly retreated.
A deep-sea giant beast with a dark brown color, a hideous face, a faint deformed bulge on the forehead, and a dragon-like, fish-like, but not fish, suddenly appeared from the shadows on the seabed.
The huge mouth opened and swallowed more than a dozen red flame sharks and red whales in one gulp!
The beast swayed, wandered around, and then swam in a certain direction.
Li Fan, who had barely avoided the beast, had not yet reacted, and watched his prey being snatched away.
How could he bear this?
Li Fan was furious.
But soon the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Mantra was activated, which calmed him down a little.
Wait, this beast seemed to be the one that destroyed the island where the Spirit Mist Grass was planted before?
As if he remembered something, Li Fan was stunned.
When he accepted the task of hunting the Red Flame Whale before, Li Fan also caught a glimpse of another bounty task.
Because this task was somewhat related to Li Fan, he also checked it carefully.
It turned out that almost all those people who hyped up the Lingwu grass suffered heavy losses and lost their fortunes.
With a bad temper and resentment in their hearts, they couldn't even calm down to practice.
But they didn't dare to cause trouble to Qingmu Huasheng Zhenjun and the Wanxian League, so they could only vent their anger on the strange beast that destroyed the island where the Lingwu grass was planted.
According to witnesses, the attacker was a dragon whale. It was almost at the foundation-building stage.
The island guard was also a foundation-building cultivator.
However, the dragon whale was huge, and the guard's attack on it was like tickling, with no effect at all.
The dragon whale directly ignored the guard, broke through the island protection formation, wreaked havoc on the island, and swallowed most of the Lingwu grass.
After that, the Jindan cultivator of the Wanxian League arrived late.
And this dragon whale, after being hit by a Jindan-stage cultivator, was not dead, but was seriously injured and fled back into the deep sea.
The Congyun Sea is vast, and this group of people wanted to kill the dragon whale to vent their anger, but they couldn't find it after searching for more than ten days.
In desperation, they could only take out a little bit of their remaining contribution points and jointly issue a bounty task.
Those who kill the dragon whale can get 2,000 contribution points.
Because this dragon whale can't even be used by a foundation-building cultivator, Li Fan, a small Qi-refining cultivator, naturally didn't accept the task before.
But...
The situation is different now!
