Chapter 302 Reward you for entering the inner gate
"Elder, I am just a young disciple in the foundation building stage. Why does the sect always trust me with such important tasks?" Li Xiuchang asked.
"The sect believes in your abilities." Elder Xu's eyes were filled with trust, "You are the only one in our Fairy Dust Sect who has had your level of talent for countless years."
"The sect isn't worried about my safety?"
"We all believe in you, and the demon cultivator will not see any flaws. If you disguise yourself, even we won't be able to tell that you are not a demon cultivator."
Li Xiuchang's face was stiff. What do you mean?
He has been practicing for ten years and has been fighting against demonic cultivators. He has also practiced Buddhist techniques to exorcise evil spirits and conquer demons. How is he like a demonic cultivator?
You are an elder, you can't tell lies with your eyes open!
If the demonic cultivator dared to slander him like this, he would have skinned the demonic cultivator, extracted his soul, and refined his body!
Seeing that Li Xiuchang looked unhappy, Elder Xu had no choice but to persuade him:
"Xiuchang, think about it, for our sect, if anyone other than you were to perform this undercover mission, there would be a risk of being exposed. You don't want any of your fellow sects to be harmed by demonic cultivators, right?
"Only if you do this job, you will be foolproof, and we will provide you with more life-saving trump cards than last time, and there will be people secretly protecting you to ensure your safety."
Li Xiuchang actually agreed in his heart.
He thought that by working as an undercover agent for the Xianchen Sect, he could at least figure out the movements of the strong men of the Xianchen Sect and provide information to Senior Brother Motu.
But he didn't agree immediately.
Although he is rich now and does not like ordinary rewards, if he is too talkative and does not ask for anything in return, he may not be taken seriously.
In any group, those who contribute silently are often the most overlooked.
Therefore, he sighed: "Elder, today is different from the past. I used to be alone and would not look back even if I died for the sect. But now I have many properties, including a large group of people from the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce and Danxiang House. They all rely on me to support them. What will they do if something happens to me?"
Elder Xu also knew that Li Xiuchang's family had a big business now, and he also understood that Li Xiuchang was offering a reward.
For carrying out such a dangerous task for the sect, of course you will be rewarded heavily!
But the question is what to reward?
Li Xiuchang may not value ordinary treasures.
Elder Xu thought for a few seconds, then his eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes!"
"Xiu Chang, if you successfully complete this mission, you will definitely receive a reward of contribution points. In addition, I will make arrangements and specially recruit you to enter the inner gate!"
Li Xiuchang's eyes darkened... If you say that, I really don't want to do it anymore!
He refused righteously and said: "Elder, the law of the ancestor cannot be abolished! Since it is the rule passed down by the ancestor, no exception can be made for me!
"Although I yearn for the inner sect very much, I never want the sect to break its rules because of me. I don't think it's better than this. The sect will give me more contribution points and open some permissions to me. When the time comes, I can redeem whatever I want. That’s it.”
Li Xiuchang didn't really care about rewards or anything like that, he mainly wanted to express an attitude.
He didn't want to end up becoming an inner disciple.
"Of course that's no problem, so you agreed?" Elder Xu asked.
Li Xiuchang nodded: "If the sect needs me, of course I am obligated!"
"Okay! I am lucky to have a disciple like you!"
Elder Xu took out a storage bag, poured out a bunch of things, and introduced:
"These are treasures for you to use for self-defense when performing missions. I will tell you how to use them and you can familiarize yourself with them."
This time, the Xianchen Sect prepared many more life-saving trump cards for Li Xiuchang than last time.
But in fact, with Li Xiuchang's current level of cultivation, most things are not very useful.
There are only a few high-level talismans and a few two or three protective spiritual treasures, which may still be of some use.
Li Xiuchang is too lazy to be greedy for these things, and will return whatever is left after completing the task.
However, there was one spiritual treasure among them, which made Li Xiuchang slightly interested.
It was a treasure used for disguise, called the "Huanxin Bead", and it was a clam bead the size of a longan.
This clam bead turns out to be a rare innate spiritual treasure!
Although it is only a low-grade innate spirit treasure, it has no offensive ability and its only function is to use it to disguise itself, so it is very powerful in this regard!
In terms of camouflage effect alone, mid-grade spiritual treasures cannot compare to it.
Li Xiuchang was interested in the Huanxin Bead, partly because his "skin-changing mask" was gradually becoming outdated and could not keep up with his current cultivation level, and could easily be noticed by people with higher cultivation level than him.
The Magic Heart Bead is a good substitute.
On the other hand, it was because Li Xiuchang was somewhat curious about the innate spiritual treasure.
Nowadays, innate spiritual treasures are rare to see. Now that I have encountered them, of course I want to study them.
"Elder, can this Magic Heart Bead be given to me as a mission reward?" Li Xiuchang asked directly without being polite.
Elder Xu was a little embarrassed when he heard this. It would be fine if it was an ordinary spiritual treasure. As a rare innate spiritual treasure, the Huanxin Pearl is also a functional spiritual treasure and has no requirements on the user's cultivation level. It is very easy to use and is also used in the sect. Often used.
Seeing Elder Xu's hesitation, Li Xiuchang said: "You can use the contribution points from my mission reward to offset it."
Elder Xu nodded and used the contribution points to deduct it, which was equivalent to what Li Xiuchang had exchanged with the contribution points himself. He also wanted to be easier to talk to.
"Then you go back and prepare. We should be leaving soon."
Li Xiuchang asked knowingly: "Elder, you haven't told me the specific content of this mission yet."
Elder Xu said: "The remnants of the demonic path are preparing to hold a demonic convention to gather all the demonic forces together, intending to release the demonic leader who was sealed by the last demonic lord.
"We have captured a foundation-building magic cultivator of the Black Soul Sect and are going to let you pretend to be him to attend the Demon Conference. This time, your mission has two points.
"The first is to determine the specific location of the Demon Conference, and the second is to find out the location of the demon-sealing place. Of course, if you can't complete both of these two tasks, you can complete any one."
If the location of the demonic conference can be determined and all the demonic cultivators can be captured in one fell swoop, then naturally no one will release the demons, so the location of the demon-sealing place will not be important.
On the contrary, as long as the location of the Demon-Sealed Land is determined and the four major immortal sects send people to block the Demon-Sealed Land, there is no need to worry about the remnants of the demonic path causing trouble.
However, these two tasks were not difficult for Li Xiuchang.
He can complete these two tasks without even leaving the house.
He could just ask Xue Qingshan directly about the location of the Demon Conference.
The location of the Demon Sealed Land... was originally made up by Xue Qingshan. If you want to find out the truth, just ask Senior Brother Motu.
Of course, Li Xiuchang's main purpose this time was to secretly help Xue Qingshan successfully complete his plan.
Li Xiuchang immediately promised: "This disciple will definitely complete the mission!"
Seeing that Li Xiuchang was about to say goodbye, Elder Xu stopped him after thinking for a moment and said, "I'll have the foundation-building demon cultivator from the Black Soul Sect be sent over. You should familiarize yourself with his demeanor, tone, and voice, lest you Showing off while pretending to be him.”
Li Xiuchang naturally had no reason to refuse.
After a while, someone came in escorting a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
"He is a foundation-building demon cultivator of the Black Soul Sect. His name is Shen Kai. He is good at driving evil ghosts." Elder Xu introduced while handing a soul flag to Li Xiuchang.
"The soul flags are full of ghosts he drives. Among them, there is a demon leopard ghost that is more famous. It is his signature. You are also a soul control master. You can try to control the demon leopard ghost. If you can succeed, no one will do anything to you. Doubtful."
Li Xiuchang slowly took out the Magic Heart Bead, and with a thought, it transformed into the appearance of Shen Kai, even the details were exactly the same.
Then he picked up the soul flag, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he locked onto a late second-level leopard ghost in the soul flag.
Shen Kai himself is only in the middle stage of foundation building, but he can control the leopard soul in the late second stage, which is indeed something.
At this time, Shen Kai bared his teeth and said in flattery: "Young hero, my leopard is unruly and will only obey me. You release it and let me say a few nice words to it to ensure that it will obey your instructions." "
This guy knew that he had fallen into the hands of the Xianchen Sect and had no chance to escape. He just wanted to perform well and try to save his life.
However, this kind of person must not be trusted. If he is allowed to work as an undercover agent, he may directly rebel.
Li Xiuchang ignored him and directly released the leopard ghost.
As soon as the leopard soul came out, it roared at Li Xiuchang who was closest to it, and was about to pounce and bite him.
A trace of pride flashed in Shen Kai's eyes, but he did not stop drinking.
He just wanted Li Xiuchang and others to experience the rebelliousness of the Leopard Soul.
Unexpectedly, facing the menacing Leopard Soul, Li Xiuchang just stared without saying a word. The Leopard Soul immediately collapsed and withered instantly.
"Woo~"
The Leopard Soul lay on the ground like a kitten, purring in a pleasing manner.
Shen Kai was stunned, you Leopard Soul, you are so contrasting?
You have been following me for decades, and your flattering face has never appeared in front of me!
What a contrast!
Shen Kai broke the defense.
On the other side, Elder Xu was amazed and praised: "You are worthy of being the first place in the Soul Control Competition of our Fairy Dust Sect. This talent and the affinity with ghosts are really a natural-born demonic cultivator!"
Li Xiuchang was helpless, what kind of affinity!
He is a majestic fourth-level soul control master, but he can't scare a second-level ghost with one look, so why should he be fooling around?
Li Xiuchang waved the soul flag, put away the leopard soul, and then threw Shen Kai into his beast-control bag before saying goodbye and leaving.
When he returned to Donggeng District, he actually had nothing to prepare, so he directly told Senior Brother Motu about the matter.
For this demonic conference, Brother Motu rushed back from the Dark Heaven Realm.
After listening to Li Xiuchang's words, Mo Tu said: "The current venue for the demonic conference is apparently in the Corpse Valley in the Western Region, but the leaders of several other major demonic forces are still hesitant, so the final location has not yet been finalized. "
Demonic leaders from all parties are willing to come to the Demonic Conference. One of the important conditions is that they must decide the final location.
In fact, the families do not have much trust in Xue Qingshan, the newly appointed leader of the Bloodthirsty Sect.
Therefore, they refused to determine the location in advance to avoid being ambushed.
"The Western Region? That is the territory of Dengxian Pavilion. I don't know what measures Dengxian Pavilion will take this time."
The apparent location of this demonic conference is actually in the Western Region, so the Fairy Dust Sect is destined not to be the main demon-killing force of the four major immortal sects this time.
Dengxian Pavilion will probably be more active.
Motu and Li Xiuchang left communication notes for each other to facilitate contact at any time, and then Motu took the lead and set off for Corpse Burial Valley.
Li Xiuchang took two clones with him when he set out this time, just in case of emergency.
He sent both clones to the second Dantian space.
The space there is large enough, and the second soul clone falls asleep in it and continues to comprehend the path of equality, while the blood diamond clone practices the skill of refining weapons, and when tired of forging, he works in the fields, combining work and rest.
Li Xiuchang followed the main force of the Xianchen Sect and set off on a flying ship.
This time, the Xianchen Sect dispatched dozens of inner sect masters, led by five elders.
Although this lineup was not weak, it was obviously restrained. Li Xiuchang guessed correctly. After all, they were in the territory of the Dengxian Pavilion, and the main force must still be the people of the Dengxian Pavilion.
Elder Xu did not come, and Elder Xiang was in charge of the command.
Elder Xiang and Li Xiuchang exchanged sound transmission notes.
When they approached the Corpse Burial Valley, they let Li Xiuchang go.
Li Xiuchang wanted to leave the main force and go to the Corpse Burial Valley alone.
However, he was not really alone. Elder Liu was hiding in the dark and protecting Li Xiuchang closely.
Li Xiuchang did not need protection, which made him inconvenient to move, but he had no good reason to refuse.
Li Xiuchang disguised himself as Shen Kai, released the second-level leopard soul, and rode the leopard soul all the way to the Corpse Burial Valley.
Soon, he captured many passing demon cultivators with his spiritual sense.
As expected, these demon cultivators were all going to participate in the Demonic Conference!
"Old Ghost Shen!" A voice suddenly came.
Li Xiuchang didn't react at first to realize that he was being called, but he saw a demon cultivator riding a tiger soul caught up with him and rode side by side.
"Old Ghost Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to join in the fun!"
The demon cultivator riding the tiger soul was a sloppy middle-aged man with a shabby hairline and a shiny forehead.
Li Xiuchang didn't know the other person at all. This person didn't look like someone seeking revenge. He was probably Shen Kai's friend.
In order not to be exposed, he had to communicate with Shen Kai in the beast bag with his spiritual sense and ask him about the other person's identity.
At the same time, he also responded: "You are here too."
"Of course, the new leader of the Bloodthirsty Sect and several other sects have announced that as long as you come to participate, you will get 50 spirit stones. You would be a fool not to take advantage of this opportunity?"
Li Xiuchang hadn't heard of this, but Xue Qingshan's blank check was good, and he didn't plan to cash it anyway.
If you say too much, these demon cultivators won't believe you.
If you say too little, they won't want to come.
Fifty spirit stones are not too much, not too little, and it can indeed attract many low-level demon cultivators.
But in a moment, Li Xiuchang learned the identity of the sloppy demon cultivator from Shen Kai, and dealt with him casually according to Shen Kai's tone of voice.
But before he reached the Corpse Burial Valley, three more demon cultivators greeted him and came over to walk with him.
Li Xiuchang was completely annoyed. He could barely deal with one, but how could he deal with four at once?
Sooner or later, he would be exposed!
It's hard to tell that Shen Kai has a wide range of friends and a lot of bad friends.
And they talked about the dirty deeds of thieves and prostitutes, which made Li Xiuchang, a righteous and pure person, very uncomfortable.
"Old Demon Shen, do you still remember the little bitch from the Devil Sect that we attacked from both sides?"
Li Xiuchang forced a smile and said, "Haha, of course I remember. It was so tender! It was really memorable."
Unexpectedly, the person who spoke changed his expression slightly and continued, "Later, the little bitch couldn't forget it and even came to me several times. Did she come to you?"
"Of course I did." Li Xiuchang responded casually.
The man suddenly said, "The three of us have made an appointment with someone, and we still have things to do. We will take our leave first."
After that, he took the other two people with him and was about to leave.
Li Xiuchang frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
He knew that his identity was probably exposed.
These people didn't dare to expose him, because those who would pretend to be Shen Kai were most likely disciples of the righteous way.
If his identity was exposed at this time, he would most likely be killed.
But how could Li Xiuchang let them leave? He said, "Three Taoist friends, please stay."
The three of them froze, and they faintly felt that a murderous intent enveloped them.
If they took another step forward, they would most likely be attacked.
They had to stop and stop pretending. The man who had asked the question before finally frowned and said in a cold voice: "You are not Shen Kai!"
Behind Li Xiuchang, the demon cultivator riding the tiger soul was stunned for a moment and said: "Did you three make a mistake?"
"It must be. After we played with the little bitch I just mentioned, we killed her. Did you, Shen Kai, forget it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he adjusted his position and surrounded Li Xiuchang with the other two demon cultivators.
Seeing that Li Xiuchang did not argue, the demon cultivator riding the tiger soul finally believed this fact.
"No wonder I felt something was wrong when I was chatting with him just now!"
"Who are you? What's your intention in pretending to be the old demon Shen?"
Li Xiuchang shook his head: "You killed yourselves, don't blame me."
After that, he contacted Elder Liu in the dark to take action.
A light and shadow passed by, and all four demon cultivators disappeared.
Elder Liu acted very quickly, leaving no trace at the scene.
At this time, Shen Kai in the beast bag was begging for mercy. It was the wrong information he gave that exposed Li Xiuchang's identity.
Shen Kai regretted it in his heart. If he had known that those demon cultivators were so stupid, he would not have done this.
Originally, he wanted those demon cultivators to stay put after finding something wrong, and then reveal Li Xiuchang's identity after finding a powerful demon.
But who would have thought that the three of them would think of escaping at the first time, so that Li Xiuchang would find out the problem.
Li Xiuchang was thinking about how to deal with Shen Kai, and saw a blood demon cultivator coming towards him. Seeing Li Xiuchang, he said happily: "Old Demon Shen, long time no see..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiuchang had already chopped off his head with a sword.
At the same time, he also sentenced Shen Kai to death.
This man has too many friends, so it is not suitable for disguise.
However, the few people who were just captured by Elder Liu were all the same kind of people as Shen Kai. Birds of a feather flock together, and their identities are also not suitable for use.
You should find someone with few friends or a bad temper, the kind that no one will bother with.
Li Xiuchang did not tell Elder Liu much about his plan, and continued to walk towards the Corpse Burial Valley with Shen Kai's face.
Fortunately, he did not meet other acquaintances for the time being.
When they were about to reach the Corpse Burial Valley, Elder Liu sent a voice message: "The Corpse Burial Valley is guarded by a formation, and I can't go in with you. If you encounter danger inside, crush the sympathetic jade for help, and I will kill directly into the valley."
"Thank you, Elder Liu."
Li Xiuchang walked towards the Corpse Burial Valley alone, looking for suitable candidates as he walked.
The closer he got to the Corpse Burial Valley, the more demon cultivators there were.
In order not to attract more "friends", Li Xiuchang slightly changed his appearance.
Anyway, as long as he didn't enter the Corpse Burial Valley, no one would care about him. But if he did enter the Corpse Burial Valley, his identity had to be verified.
Li Xiuchang wandered outside the Corpse Burial Valley for a while, and suddenly saw a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance coming out.
The surrounding demon cultivators made way when they saw him, and seemed to be very afraid of him.
Li Xiuchang's eyes lit up.
