Chapter 111 Drawing Lots, the Inspector's Identity
Chapter 111 Drawing Lots, the Inspector's Identity
Inside the main hall of the Alchemy Peak.
Although there were over a hundred people in the hall, all of them were at least at the Transformation Realm level, including both young and old.
But at this moment, the main hall was completely silent.
There wasn't a single person whispering; you could hear a pin drop.
There are several young alchemists like Lin Zhou.
They all huddled together.
An extremely oppressive atmosphere pervaded the entire hall.
Suddenly, an old man in a white robe walked out from the side of the platform a few dozen steps in front of them. This man was Ouyang Changfeng, the peak master of the Alchemy Peak.
"Ahem!"
"Gentlemen..."
"The Heavenly Pole Sect has issued an order."
"There are certain quotas allocated to the four major sects in Qingzhou Prefecture, as well as to all the families in the prefecture city that have the Dan Jin cultivation level."
"We need to send martial artists to the border to oversee the situation."
"Or perhaps they seek out and suppress demons within the city."
"Since most of the people on our Alchemy Peak are alchemists, the quotas we are allocated are all within the city of Qingzhou Prefecture."
"There was no mission to guard the border."
"We will decide this by drawing lots."
There are a total of seventy spots available.
"None of us can escape; even I, an old man, will have to draw lots."
"Once you draw a lot, you will be assigned a specific location to be stationed at."
"But you don't need to worry, there are also martial artists from several other sects who will join the attack."
The words were spoken.
The pressure on the novice alchemists on the alchemy peak who heard that the search and suppression was only being conducted in the city of Qingzhou Prefecture in conjunction with several other sects suddenly eased.
The worst-case scenario is nothing less than going to the borderlands.
"This situation is really bad."
Even a novice alchemist couldn't be saved.
"I'm afraid only intermediate-level alchemists or higher can ensure their own safety."
"This is no longer a place to linger."
Lin Zhou, standing in the crowd, watched all of this with a slight frown.
The situation was worse than he had anticipated.
Instead of increasing the number of alchemy tasks, they also dispatched these novice alchemists with cultivation levels above the Transformation Realm.
The situation was the same on their Alchemy Peak.
Does that mean that all the disciples on the other peaks would have to be sent to the border?
Then, one by one, people went up to draw lots.
Lin Zhou drifted with the current and took out a small jade pendant from the wooden box. The jade pendant had a lightning mark on it.
The jade plaque also has a Qingchuan mark on it.
Qingchuan County.
"Hey junior brother, here you go."
"Once this mission is completed, you will be eligible to exchange for the Xuanhuang Great Pill."
"There is hope for achieving immortality!"
At this moment, an elderly man with gray hair, who was in charge of the matter, spoke with a smile on his face.
At the same time, he handed a scroll to Lin Zhou, which contained mission details and recorded some matters concerning Qingchuan County.
After receiving the scroll, Lin Zhou hurriedly left the main hall.
He headed straight for his residence at Half Moon Lake.
When Lin Zhou returned to his courtyard, he saw a tall, slender figure in blue waiting outside the gate.
The woman in blue looked Lin Zhou up and down, then took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to him: "This is what Senior Sister Duan Li asked me to give you."
"Although Senior Sister Duan Li wants to protect you, her situation is now even more difficult as she is a direct disciple of the sect."
"Even so, Senior Sister Duan Li has managed to secure you a Sword Sect Inspector position that is not limited to just one county."
"The situation in Qingzhou Prefecture is currently very bad."
"The spot you obtained through the lottery is limited to one location only."
"And this patrol can be conducted without restriction."
"You may go to the county town next to Longzhou Prefecture to seek refuge."
"At critical moments, it can even enter the territory of Longzhou Prefecture."
After saying this, the woman in blue turned and left decisively.
Thank you.
Lin Zhou clasped his hands in a salute.
I never expected that even at this point, Duan Li would still think of him.
However, this inspector does make his actions much easier.
Taihu County is a place we need to visit.
After all, there were a few people he knew there, and in this Qingzhou Prefecture, on this land that was originally suffering from severe drought, was his hometown in this life.
He got separated from his family while fleeing famine.
Perhaps this time we can find the other party by tracking the keywords.
Having made up his mind, Lin Zhou began to pack.
They scooped up most of the treasure fish in Half Moon Lake, and then harvested all of their own flesh field.
I gained more than forty points of inspiration.
"Keep a close eye on the house."
Lin Zhou walked up to the small green jade tree that was now five feet tall.
Since it gained sentience, the little jade tree has grown at an extremely fast pace. Now, the spiritual energy contained within it is almost comparable to that of a martial artist with the Qi Refining Realm.
Its branches are as hard as black iron. If one were to swing a branch and strike, it is estimated that even a martial artist with the Dan-level strength would be torn to shreds.
The branches of the small jade tree swayed up and down, as if nodding.
This place can be considered a stronghold for the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect.
He doesn't know when he'll come back.
He has a new plan for this trip out of retirement.
With the status of an inspector, it was only natural for him to slay demons in various places.
The spiritual energy emanating from this demon is also a considerable source of profit.
"I need to find a white eagle to ride."
"Inspector's identity..."
"You can also find a mount for free at the mountain gate."
Lin Zhou had just seen information about the authority of patrol envoys, and mounts were one of them. Generally speaking, one needs to be at least at the peak of the Transformation Realm to hold this position.
Reaching the Core Formation realm is the normal requirement for serving as an Inspector.
Lin Zhou's level of cultivation clearly indicates that he has powerful backers.
"not good."
"Go to the animal pen quickly."
At this moment, Lin Zhou seemed to have thought of something: Although there were quite a few white eagles in the sect.
But what is the situation now? Countless people in the sect need to travel by mount.
He has Duan Li as his backer.
However, the other disciples in the sect also have powerful backers.
In that case, I wonder how many inspectors there are now.
The number of white eagles within the sect must be extremely scarce.
If you go too late, there probably won't be a single hair left.
He swallowed everything he needed from the small courtyard by Half Moon Pool into the giant toad's stomach.
Without the slightest hesitation, he headed straight for the location of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect's beast pen.
...
Sect's animal pen.
The sect's animal pen is located atop a steep and precipitous peak between Alchemy Peak and Demon Suppression Peak.
Looking around, the mountains are filled with towering ancient trees, and on the top of the trees are huge nests. In each of these dark nests, where there used to be flocks of white eagles, now there are only some chicks and some small larks flying by.
In front of the animal pen.
The outer disciple on duty looked at the patrol officer's badge handed to him by Lin Zhou with a wry smile.
"This senior brother."
"There really aren't any flying mounts left."
"I wonder if it will be okay to run on the road?"
The outer disciple on duty could tell that this young senior brother must have powerful connections, and they couldn't afford to offend him, so they had to think of another way.
