Chapter 181 Mission Hall
"Blood sacrifice technique".
Soon, Li Boyang found the method for refining magical artifacts that he needed in the cultivation technique interface.
I checked the military merits required for the exchange: 100 points.
It's quite cheap; it seems like this is a common item that can be found in Qingwei City.
Time is very valuable. After thinking about it, Li Boyang decided to exchange it directly. He didn't care about losing a little more military merit, since he had almost used it all up anyway.
After obtaining the bloodstain he wanted, Li Boyang clicked on the pill category button and directly selected the pills used by those in the Qi Refining stage.
It turns out that Yuan Stones are exchanged in this interface. One point of military merit can be exchanged for one low-grade Yuan Stone, which is quite a bargain.
Besides the elemental stones, there are also pills for treating external injuries and pills to aid in cultivation.
One of them is called the Qi-regulating pill. Taking one pill before each practice session can accelerate the speed of true qi condensation by 0%, which is quite astonishing.
Tai Chi Divine Skill is the top-tier skill in the Wudang world, but it is only considered average in the Tianyuan world. In the Tianyuan world, top-tier Qi Refining Realm skills can stimulate as many as two acupoints.
However, Li Boyang did not intend to change his cultivation method, because the Tai Chi Divine Skill was very suitable for him. If he used the Tai Chi Divine Skill in conjunction with the Qi Circulation Pill, his cultivation speed would be no worse than that of top-tier cultivation methods.
However, the cost of Qi-regulating pills is not low either. A bottle contains thirty pills and requires one hundred military merits. It seems more worthwhile to exchange them directly for Yuan Stones.
Li Boyang exchanged all his remaining military merits for low-grade spirit stones and left the Military Merit Hall.
They went in with bulging pockets, but came out penniless.
In Qingwei City, besides the Hall of Military Merit, there is another extremely important place: the Hall of Missions.
The Mission Hall is where the Human Alliance issues missions; anyone participating in the war between the two races can go to the Mission Hall to accept missions.
Generally speaking, the military merit gained from killing horned demons in the Great Wilderness Forest alone is only a small part; the real prize is the military merit gained from participating in missions issued by the Human Alliance.
Li Boyang disliked constraints, so he adopted a lone wolf strategy. Although he gained fewer military merits, he had the advantage of having his life and death in his own hands.
Moreover, most of the missions issued in the mission hall are for small teams, so it's difficult for someone like him to get by alone.
However, considering that it would take forever to accumulate the 10,000 military merits required for Foundation Establishment through conventional methods of killing enemies, he decided to take a risk.
After leaving the Hall of Military Merit, he went directly to the Hall of Missions and wandered aimlessly, searching for a mission suitable for him to complete alone.
"Have you heard? The Earth Spirit Grass has been discovered near the Ghost Pool in the Great Wilderness Forest. It's worth 30,000 military merits, and many people have already accepted missions to search for it."
"Your news is nothing. I heard that Senior Duanmu from Konoha was ambushed by Prince Borg of the Horned Demon Clan a few days ago and was seriously injured."
"I also heard that a while ago many people took on the task of crossing the Angry River and mapping the terrain on the other side, only to be wiped out by the Horned Demons."
As soon as Li Boyang entered the mission hall, he heard a lot of rumors.
The missions issued in the Mission Hall typically include tasks such as spying on military intelligence, killing target personnel, searching for specific rare and precious materials, and besieging specific teams of the Horned Demon Clan.
Missions involving intelligence gathering usually require crossing the Angry River to reach the other side. These missions typically involve scouting a designated area or gathering information about a specific city of the Horned Demons.
Since the other side of the Angry River is the territory of the Horned Demon Clan, it is extremely dangerous, but the reward for military merit is also very high, making it a high-risk, high-reward mission.
As for the targets, both the human and horned demon races have a blacklist. The blacklist is divided into the Golden Core Ranking and the Qi Refining Ranking. Not to mention the Golden Core Ranking, there were only 100 Golden Core experts in this war.
The people on the Qi Refining Ranking are all the most outstanding geniuses of the Horned Demon Clan. Even Kress, whom Li Boyang encountered, had spatial talent and ability, but he was not qualified to be on the list.
There are approximately one thousand people practicing Qi Refining, and those who make it onto the Human Race Blacklist are the most outstanding geniuses of the Horned Demon Clan.
The target was someone on the Blacklist. The Human Alliance valued those on the Blacklist highly, even giving 10,000 military merit points to the Horned Demon, who was ranked 1,000th.
In other words, if Li Boyang could kill a Horned Demon on the Black List, he could directly exchange it for the Foundation Establishment Essentials.
However, those who make it onto the blacklist are certainly not easy opponents, and given his strength, it would be difficult for him to kill them.
One advantage of this type of kill mission is that you don't need to claim it. You just need to kill the enemies on the black list and verify it with the mission jade slip. So Li Boyang decisively claimed the jade slip for killing enemies on the black list.
As for missions involving searching for rare and precious treasures, these are the most competitive, but also the ones with the lowest completion rate. Usually, the Human Alliance receives intelligence that a precious genius has been discovered in a certain area of the Great Wilderness Forest, and then issues a mission to search for it like looking for a needle in a haystack.
As for how to get those who find rare treasures to obediently hand them over to the Human Alliance, it's actually quite simple. The Human Alliance doesn't force them to hand them over; it's entirely up to the lucky ones who find the treasures to do so voluntarily.
The Human Alliance usually rewards military merit based on the value of the treasure, and the value of the reward will be slightly higher than the value of the treasure.
The treasures that can be searched for in missions usually need to be refined before they can be used. Not everyone has the ability to refine them, so most people choose to exchange them for military merits.
The last type is the encirclement and suppression of designated teams. These missions are closely related to the Blacklist kill missions. Usually, the horned demons on the Blacklist have their own teams and often cross the Raging River.
The teams formed by the Horned Demons on the Blacklist are incredibly powerful and usually cause heavy casualties among humans. Therefore, once such a team is discovered, the Human Alliance will immediately issue targeted encirclement and suppression missions in an attempt to keep them in the Great Wilderness Forest within human territory.
In fact, the Horned Demons were the same. The experts on the human side also frequently crossed the Angry River to the other side to wreak havoc. It could be said that the two sides had a back-and-forth exchange.
Li Boyang hesitated, considering whether to accept a mission to gather military intelligence or a mission to encircle and destroy a team.
Both types of missions have their advantages. The intelligence-gathering mission is more free and can be carried out alone. The troublesome mission is that if you go alone, you have to cross the Angry River to the other side. Once you are discovered and surrounded, you will not have any chance to escape.
Of course, these kinds of characters can also work together as a team, but Li Boyang doesn't want to be tied down by a team, so he's in a dilemma.
The task of encircling and annihilating the Horned Demon team is also troublesome. Such tasks definitely require teamwork. The Human Alliance will provide the target team's current area, and then work together to encircle and annihilate them.
This kind of mission is extremely dangerous; if you accidentally run into the line of fire, it could be even more dangerous than going to the other side of the Nu River.
