Chapter 261 The system is broken?
[A special mission "Searching for the fragments of the ladder to immortality" is released: Yu Feng from Fenglin Village in Xuanji Country of Tonggu World is an ordinary boy who yearns to cultivate immortality. Unfortunately, his path to immortality is very bumpy. Please help him become a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.]
[This task cannot be completed by using pills]
[Quest Reward: Extract the fragment of the Immortal Ladder from Yu Feng’s body]
[During the mission, you can teleport once between Tonggu World and Jiuzhou World for free]
"It seems like a very simple task." Jiang Li touched his chin. From the literal meaning, this task was not difficult to complete. The only question was probably whether the young man named Yu Feng was still alive.
If he failed in his cultivation journey and died early, Jiang Li would not be able to complete his mission.
As for the fact that the task cannot be completed by taking pills, that's a joke. With Jiang Li here, not to mention a person, even a pig can be taught to the Nascent Soul stage.
Jiang Li stretched his muscles and planned to tell Commander Liu that he was looking for clues to the Ladder to Immortality for the future of all the cultivators in Jiuzhou, and that he should not be asked to discuss matters concerning the Human Emperor Palace for the time being.
"Please take a leave. This time I go back to the Tonggu world and relax!" Jiang Li made up his mind.
[This task has been completed]
【Do you want to receive the reward? 】
"Huh?" Jiang Li was surprised, and then he understood. It seemed that this cultivator named Yu Feng had become a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage through his own efforts.
[This task is not completed]
“…”
"This system finally broke down." Jiang Li was speechless. Just now you said the task had been completed, but now you say it's not completed. Are you kidding me?
This broken counterattack system has two sections for releasing tasks and accepting completed tasks. The section for releasing tasks stays in five hundred years ago, while the section for accepting completed tasks can be updated at any time.
Now it seems that the section for accepting completed tasks is also broken.
"Now the only usable part of the system is the store. How sad." Jiang Li felt inexplicably sad, but he still wanted to go to the Tonggu world first to take a look.
"Teleport to Tonggu World."
…
The sunlight shone through the paper window onto the boy's face. His eyelids moved and it took a lot of effort for him to open his eyes.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?!"
"Get out, outsiders are not welcome here!"
He heard a heated argument outside, which grew louder and soon turned into a fight.
He woke up instantly, licked his fingers, quietly poked a hole in the window, and peeked outside by leaning on the window frame.
A group of horse bandits broke into the quiet little village with knives. The boy's parents went to rebuke and drive them away, but they were hacked to death by the bandits with knives and their heads were separated.
"Father, Mother..." The boy knew that now was not the time to cry. If he didn't hide quickly, it would soon be his turn.
The bandits were robbers who killed anyone they saw! Just as the boy had expected, after killing his parents, the bandits laughed loudly, brandished bloody knives and rushed towards the village, splitting into several groups, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
Some hid in the straw pile, some hid in the well, some hid on the beams... no one escaped and all died an untimely death.
The boy rolled off the bed and found a place to hide.
The bandit entered the house to check, kicked the wooden door open, and chopped at it with a knife, breaking the doors and windows and the straw dolls.
"No one?" The bandit's intuition told him that there should be someone here.
The bandit saw a place where someone might be hiding, and he leaned over suddenly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
“I found you!”
There was nothing under the bed except a few copper coins.
"Tsk, boring." The bandit took the copper coins and turned to leave.
Just now, the young man tiptoed to move the rice jar. Below was their family’s cellar. He hid in the cellar and moved the rice jar back, thus escaping the disaster.
The sounds of burning, killing and looting gradually decreased and finally disappeared, and the boy did not come out.
He knew that the disappearance of the sound did not mean that the bandits had left. Not being able to hear the sound only meant that the bandits were no longer near their home and might be somewhere else in the village.
He hid for five days.
There was food in the cellar but no water. The boy almost died of thirst in there. If he stayed there for another day, he might not even have the strength to climb out.
"Dead, everyone in the village is dead." The boy crawled out, drank two sips of water, muttered to himself, his eyes blank.
There were two bodies lying in the yard, a man and a woman, they were the boy's parents.
The young man kowtowed twice to the corpses: "Father, Mother, I am an unfilial child and cannot bury you. Please understand."
Yu Feng left in a hurry without any hesitation, as if he had no attachment to anything.
After he left, a bandit forgot something and rode back here on horseback. He passed by Yu Feng's house, took a quick look, found nothing unusual, and continued looking for the lost things.
Yu Feng left the small village and came to the town covered in dust.
This is the border of Xuanji Country. It is in chaos and the people are living in poverty. Yu Feng, who looks like a beggar, is nothing new. Passersby don't even look at him, and some even try to avoid looking at him, as if they would be attached to him if they looked at him.

The village and the town were half a day's journey apart. When Yu Feng arrived here, he was starving and seeing stars. He fell to the ground and struggled to get up.
"Child, you must be hungry. Would you like a meat bun?" A kind-hearted old woman saw Yu Feng's miserable appearance and kindly took out a meat bun from the basket.
Yu Feng sniffed his nose, smelled the aroma of meat, and looked at the old woman eagerly.
The old woman helped Yu Feng to the tree and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, kid, I run a steamed buns shop, look, that's it."
The old woman pointed to a delicious steamed bun shop not far away.
Yu Feng shook his head gently: "Grandma, thank you, my mother told me not to eat food from strangers."
The two of them tried to refuse for a while, but the old woman saw that Yu Feng was determined not to eat it, so she had to give up.
There was a little beggar next to him, who had been hungry for days and drooled: "Grandma, can I have this bun?"
The old lady smiled kindly and handed the bun to the little beggar, who began to eat it ravenously.
Someone ran back panting, covered in wounds, with half of his arm bitten off by something. Seeing this, the guard hurried forward to inquire about the situation.
"What's wrong? Why are you so badly injured?"
"There were monsters blocking the road, and many people died. Fortunately, I ran fast. If I was half an hour later, even I wouldn't be able to come back."
Someone yelled and angrily accused Xuanji Country of inaction: "Damn it, they fight wars every day and never think of a way to solve the monster problem. Now a monster suddenly appears. Who dares to leave the city?"
A black cat was attracted by the smell of meat buns and took small graceful steps. Yu Feng took advantage of the cat's unpreparedness and grabbed its scruff of the neck. The black cat didn't even have the ability to resist.
Yu Feng stood up slowly and walked towards the town.
He passed by an alley and was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something bad, and his face looked grim.
"Fuck, I forgot."
A dark shadow rushed out from the alley and covered Yu Feng's mouth and nose with a cloth soaked in knockout drug. Yu Feng's body collapsed and he allowed himself to be dragged into the alley.
Yu Feng loosened his grip, and the black cat jumped lightly, continuing its graceful cat steps without looking back.
"Hey, I found another one. The internal organs can be sold for a lot of money."
The trafficker took out a dagger and slashed it across Yu Feng's neck, causing blood to spurt out.
Died in a peaceful way.
…
The sunlight shone through the paper window onto the boy's face. His eyelids moved and it took a lot of effort for him to open his eyes.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?!"
"Get out, outsiders are not welcome here!"
A familiar conversation rang in Yu Feng's ears.
