Chapter 81 Cemetery Mission

"Are you sure you want to take the grave-guarding mission?"

Senior Brother Huang felt numb all over when he looked at Chen Luo in front of him.

The grave guarding mission was basically a place where the old disciples who failed to advance to the next level waited for their retirement. The spiritual energy in the graveyard was thin, the rewards were small, and it took a long time, so normally no one would be willing to go there. Now a new disciple actually came to him and said that he wanted to do the grave guarding mission, which made him think he had heard it wrong.

After more than three months of entry, I have already learned the common sense of Shenhu Xianmen. No normal person would take on such a task.

For new disciples, this should be the most confident moment. Everyone feels that they have the potential to become a true immortal!

Building a foundation is not the goal, the lowest level should be Dan. Only after experiencing the beatings in the world of immortal cultivation and the frustration of failed promotion, will you understand that practicing Qi is not that easy, and will you start to pay attention to these safe and unprofitable tasks.

"Junior brother, you have to think it over carefully. The spiritual energy in the cemetery is notoriously thin." Huang Bu Tong reminded him.

Huang Bu Tong has reminded his junior brother Chen Luo many times.

A slacker who has been doing nothing since he started, wasting his talent of three spiritual roots. When others went down the mountain to do missions and slay demons, he was just hanging around in the library. When others went to the newcomer competition to compete for rewards, he was yawning on the training ground.

If we didn't know that he had just joined the sect, we would have suspected that he was an older senior brother who was preparing to leave the sect.

"Sure. I've liked quietness since I was a kid."

Chen Luo said with a simple and honest look on his face.

He naturally couldn't tell Huang Bu Tong his real purpose. It was better to keep a low profile when doing grave digging. It would be hard to explain to Brother Huang that he liked to clean the skulls of his predecessors, right?

"You like quietness? I think you like to be lazy! You are so young and don't want to make progress. You will definitely be driven down the mountain in the future."

Huang Bu Tong didn't want to talk to this junior brother anymore, so he took out the task booklet as a routine and started asking normal questions.

"Have you learned the art of dust removal?"

“Yes.”

Chen Luo immediately raised his hand, and a whirlwind appeared in his palm.

As soon as he thought about it, the spiritual energy instantly dissipated. The wind in his palm shook for a while, and then suddenly dispersed, turning into a circle of light blue light that swept across the entire house. After the dispersed fresh air circulated around, it returned to his hand with dust and impurities. During the whole process, even the thatched grass at the door did not move.

"You have learned the art of dust removal quite well."

Huang Bu Tong was stunned for a moment.

The Dust Removal Technique released by Chen Luo was very perfect. Even if he released the Dust Removal Technique, it couldn't be better than this. With such an excellent talent for cultivation, Huang Bu Tong thought that he should forge ahead bravely, go down the mountain to explore, complete the trial mission and slay demons. If he was lucky, there might be a chance to successfully build a foundation. If he had such a good qualification, he wouldn't have to receive newcomers here.

When he thought of this, Huang Bu Tong felt even more disappointed with his friend.

What a waste of talent!

"Brother?"

Chen Luo waited for a while. Seeing Huang Bu Tong gritting his teeth and looking full of regret, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Okay, the mission has been recorded, but I still want to remind you..."

Huang Bu Tong sighed, collected his thoughts, and wrote Chen Luo's name under the tomb-guarding task. With a flash of light, the task on the book disappeared. After he finished recording it, the tomb-guarding tasks in other places would disappear to prevent people from taking them repeatedly.

"Thank you, Brother Huang."

Chen Luo took the task token and turned around and left, not giving Senior Brother Huang any chance to talk nonsense. During this period, Senior Brother Huang stopped playing with the tiger-headed puppet and started talking instead.

Chen Luo was also very happy.

I finally received the task I had planned for a long time, and took a big step forward on my path of cultivation!

'All that remains is how to dig the grave.'

The plan went smoothly, which greatly boosted Chen Luo's confidence. He would wait until he was familiar with the area before looking for an opportunity to start. He just hoped that the seniors at Wudao Peak were not cremated, otherwise his mission would be in vain.

"We have to dig at least fifty of them. I wonder if there are any brains of foundation-building cultivators among them. If there are, we will make a lot of money."

Chen Luo was thinking in his mind.

When he broke through the second level of Qi Refining, his strength increased a lot, and the number of brain waves he could carry increased. He also had to abandon the brains of the Jianghu people who had no learning ability. They couldn't keep up with his pace, and there was no point in keeping them, they just took up space.

"Junior brother, remember to improve your cultivation and endure the hardships you should endure! Otherwise, if you miss the opportunity, you will never get it back."

Looking at Chen Luo's leaving back, Huang Bu Tong shouted out the unfinished words.

"Brother, rest assured. I am the best at enduring hardships."

Chen Luo waved his hand and left the room where Huang Bu Tong was without looking back.

Cemetery.

Located on the back mountain of Wudao Peak.

This place is already outside the spirit gathering formation on the mountain. Not only is the spiritual energy thin, but the surrounding environment is also very bad. Overgrown weeds cover the roads, and it seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time.

Chen Luo followed the location marked by the mission and found this place.

After entering here, the view becomes broader.

Looking around, the entire hillside was covered with tombs, densely packed, at least two thousand or more. Several of them were newly built, with very new soil.

These are the graves of the disciples of Shenhu Xianmen. Many of them died in the process of slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits at the foot of the mountain. The world only sees the high rewards of slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits, but ignores the dangers in the process. Which of the demon cultivators and monster cultivators who can stir up trouble outside is easy to deal with?

“It’s a great place.”

Looking at the familiar grave, Chen Luo recalled the days when he and his third uncle worked as burial men in Qingya County of Yue State.

After passing through the tombs, Chen Luo found several thatched houses at the end of the cemetery. The roof of one of them was still emitting steam.

It is a thatched hut where the gravekeeper lives.

"Anyone there?"

Chen Luo stood at the door of the thatched hut and tried to shout.

"The dead are buried by themselves, I don't have time to help. Go to the grave by yourself, and remember to sweep the ashes clean after you are done."

An impatient voice came from inside the thatched hut.

Chen Luo was listening outside with a dazed look on his face.

Are all tomb-guarding missions so casual?

He finally understood why the weeds outside had grown like this. Given the attitude of the grave-guarding brother, it was already a courtesy for him to be able to see the grave mound.

"Brother, I'm here to do the grave-guarding mission."

Chen Luo knocked on the door again, and this time he stated his purpose.

"Are you here for a mission?"

There was a rustling sound from inside, and soon the door was opened. A dishevelled young man poked his head out from inside. This guy looked depressed, but his aura was not weak at all. He was a master in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

"Finally someone has accepted the mission, come on, come in!!"

After the tomb-guarding disciple inside confirmed the mission mark on Chen Luo's body, he immediately led him in.

As soon as he entered the room, Chen Luo was stunned.

The temperature in the room was quite high, and the surroundings were in a mess. Only in the middle was a wood stove placed on top of it, with a pot on top. Dog meat was stewed in the pot, and the aroma filled the air.
