A moment later.
Ji Qingya stepped into the threshold of the Merit Hall.
The Merit Hall, which was crowded with people in the past, is extremely deserted today, with no one to be seen.
He walked in and glanced around, then looked up and saw the hexagonal mark in the first row of the bounty stone wall.
The owner of the mark, if he remembered correctly, was the chief elder of this stronghold, Yu Zhan.
He raised his eyebrows, and invaded the mark with his spiritual consciousness. Immediately, lines of words appeared in his eyes.
"Within three days, anyone who recommends someone who has mastered the forbidden technique will receive thirty contributions.
If the recommended person succeeds in breaking the ban, the disciple who is looking for that person can get 300 contributions, and the person who breaks the ban will be rewarded with 1,000 fairy stones. He can also propose any reasonable condition to me, and I will do my best to meet it.
If you can't succeed, you will be rewarded with one hundred immortal spirit stones."
The reward description is not long, but the amount of information is staggering.
Ji Qingya withdrew his spiritual consciousness, his eyes showing surprise.
This Elder Yu Zhan, he had heard the Fifth Elder mention him when he came.
This person has a cold personality and no backing, so he was ostracized and sent to guard the stronghold of Tianyao Kingdom. He has lived in seclusion for a hundred years and never shows up unless he is facing the old monster Gong Wu and the big monster Shuili.
This is the first time that a bounty has been issued in the Hall of Merit.
I never thought that such a big deal would be made!
A few thousand or a few hundred immortal stones were nothing, but those three hundred contribution points were too much! Even he was tempted.
You should know that the monthly salary of a foreign affairs elder like the Fifth Elder is only ten contributions.
As the guardian elder, Yu Zhan's strength far surpassed that of the external affairs elder, so his monthly salary was certainly higher. However, since they were both in the celestial realm, no matter how much more he earned, it wouldn't be much more.
The forbidden elder Li Lingshi had been in an accident, severely injured and in a coma, and had not yet woken up. This news was no secret in the stronghold, so he naturally knew it.
It was such a misfortune that Elder Yu Zhan urgently needed the help of the Master of Restrictions at this very moment.
Stone Sister can set up formations with restrictions and kill the ancient tribe in the late stage of human immortals across levels. Naturally, she is proficient in restrictions.
However, given her indifferent nature, she might not necessarily accept the reward.
No, it’s not that she has no desires. Stone Sister is very interested in the Secret Realm of Heavenly Demon.
But now no one can find the entrance to the secret realm. Elder Yu Zhan is only good at fighting, but he is not good at finding places. Even if Sister Shitou proposed this condition, he would not be able to do it...
"Junior brother, what are you thinking about so intently?"
Suddenly, a warm and familiar voice came from behind.
Ji Qingya, who was lost in thought, immediately came back to his senses and turned around to see a young man in a purple robe. He was immediately surprised and delighted:
"Big Brother, why are you here?!"
The purple-robed young man smiled and responded gently, "Master is worried about you, so I asked him to come and take a look."
Ji Qingya sighed softly upon hearing this, “I’m fine, but it’s a pity for the Fifth Elder.
He led the ancient tribe away, and no one knows where he died. I spent six months searching for his remains, but I couldn't find them."
The purple-robed young man patted Ji Qingya's shoulder gently and comforted him in a gentle voice:
"It is his duty to protect you. He has done a great service this time. When you return, please personally ask for a perpetual lamp for him."
"Yeah." Ji Qingya nodded heavily in response.
"Okay, let's not talk about this."
The purple-robed youth looked up at the bounty stone wall and said:
“Even if Elder Yu can’t find a suitable candidate for this bounty, the other two clans will do their best to open the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
I heard there are many opportunities in the Nine-Layered Pagoda. Junior Brother, are you interested in entering..."
"The Secret Realm of the Heavenly Demon?!"
Ji Qingya reacted and immediately interrupted the purple-robed young man, asking urgently:
"Big Brother, are you saying that the bounty offered by Elder Yu is for unlocking the entrance to the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm?"
The young man in purple robe saw the excitement in Ji Qingya's eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
"Very good!"
Ji Qingya's face lit up with joy. "Big Brother, I have something important to discuss with Elder Yu. I'll be back soon!"
Before he finished speaking, Ji Qingya had already rushed out of the gate of the Merit Hall and disappeared without a trace.
The young man in purple robe stood there, his eyes gradually dimming. After a moment, he smiled slowly.
"It saves me a lot of trouble."
…
Ji Qingya ran wildly all the way, turned into a whirlwind and quickly passed through the corridors, and came to the general affairs hall where the chief elder of the stronghold lived.
The elder in charge was busy screening the candidates for breaking the ban recommended by the disciples. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Ji Qingya. He immediately stood up and walked over.
"Oh, what's going on today? How did His Highness Qingya find time to come here? Is there something you want to tell me?"
The elder in charge had a fake smile on his face. Ji Qingya disliked such flatterers the most. He felt annoyed, but in order to meet Sister Shitou again, he still said patiently:
"I'm here to recommend someone who's proficient in prohibitions."
The elder in charge felt relieved, and his smile immediately became more genuine. "That's great! Your Highness, please tell me the identity of that person, and I will go and invite him right away."
Ji Qingya was about to answer when the Second Elder suddenly walked in from outside and said, "Your Highness, are you going to recommend the corpse collector? This is against the rules."
Ji Qingya looked up and saw the Second Elder, and immediately sneered: "Why is it against the rules?"
"Your Highness, the corpse collector is just a one-calamity immortal."
The Second Elder sighed, "If we really get it wrong, that woman is still a mortal. How much can she achieve in the art of prohibition?
Your Highness, please don't let a little personal sentimentality ruin important matters."
Ji Qingya was furious when he heard this, but he lost his mind and sneered:
"Second Elder, don't underestimate the people in the world. The corpse collector's cultivation is average, but his attainments in prohibitions are quite good. He is exactly what Elder Yu needs.
This time, Your Highness made this recommendation simply because he wanted to contribute to the Immortal Palace like everyone else!
"The Second Elder's obstruction is truly baffling to me. Could it be that he has other ulterior motives?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the second elder's expression changed slightly.
Of course he came here specifically to disrupt the situation.
If the corpse collector really recommended Shou and caught Yu Zhan's eye, how could he seize the secret method of changing his face?
To put it nicely, Ji Qingya's personality is straightforward and innocent, but to put it bluntly, he is stupid and impulsive.
If it were in the past, Ji Qingya would have taken action directly after being slandered like this.
As long as he took action, he would violate the rules set by Yu Zhanli, and Yu Zhan would naturally not accept the person he recommended.
But he didn't expect that Ji Qingya would become so calm and difficult today, and even bite him back.
Unable to think of a solution at the moment, the Second Elder could only turn to look at the Chief Elder and said in a deep voice:
"This is related to the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm. The person in charge doesn't want to offend Elder Yu because of this, right?"
The chief elder looked at the second elder, then glanced at Ji Qingya cautiously, groaning inwardly.
The people from this base camp are different. An elder of foreign affairs actually dares to challenge a genius-level figure. I wonder what kind of backers are behind him.
He is just a small boss, so naturally no one wants to offend him.
"Your Highness Qingya, I heard that your senior brother, His Highness Xue Kun, came to see you.
Why not ask His Highness Xue to come over and make a decision?"
