Lu Qing naturally didn't know that by participating in this trial, he was almost noticed by a powerful person and was taken in as a disciple.
After being sent out of the secret space where the Nether Palace was located by the man with the ferocious beast mask, he looked around and found that he had returned to the valley where he had originally entered the trial space.
However, there was no one around at this time. I don’t know whether those golden elixirs left after the trial or died in the trial space.
After taking a deep look at the valley shielded by the invisible force of space, Lu Qing did not linger but flew away directly.
Then he found a cave in a remote mountain forest, set up a cave to conceal the aura, and then released Xiao Li.
"Well, Ah Qing, did you pass the test?"
As soon as Xiao Li came out, he immediately jumped onto Lu Qing's shoulder and shouted.
To be on the safe side, when Lu Qing put Xiao Li away, he also completely turned off the spiritual weapon, making it impossible to detect the situation outside.
After all, that is the Netherworld Palace, and there are many powerful people in it, so it is better to be cautious.
"Well, I've passed the trial. Not only did I successfully obtain the status of an outer member of the Nether Palace, I also won first place and received a considerable reward."
Lu Qing took out the storage bag and poured out the spirit stones inside.
Suddenly, the entire cave was filled with spiritual energy and illuminated by spiritual light.
"So many mid-grade spirit stones!"
Seeing the small pile of spirit stones, Xiao Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
But it knew that their spirit stones had almost been used up recently and they were almost stretched to the limit.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that I could get so many spirit stones by participating in a trial."
Lu Qing was also very surprised.
The man wearing the beast mask was surprised at his choice of spirit stone.
But Lu Qing was very clear that he was not short of skills and magic weapons. As for elixirs, only those of extremely high quality would be useful to him.
So relatively speaking, spirit stones are the most valuable to him.
Although three thousand medium-grade spirit stones are still far from his goal, it is actually not a small amount.
After sighing, Lu Qing put away all the spirit stones and took out the Netherworld Jade Plate.
While gently playing with the Netherworld Jade Plate, Lu Qing's mind was somewhat strange.
To be honest, the Nether Palace made such a big deal about this trial, even bringing in the son of the Demon Lord, but in the end they sent them all away so easily. This really made him feel very unusual.
I don’t know what purpose is hidden behind it.
However, he had already used his supernatural powers to investigate this Netherworld Jade Plate and found nothing unusual, so he could refine it with confidence.
And this Netherworld Jade Plate was also beyond his expectations.
This is not just an identity certificate, it is also a very strange magic weapon with many uses.
After playing with it for a while, Lu Qing put his mind into it.
Soon, he felt himself, a strand of his mind, being transformed by the magic circle in the Nether Jade Plate, breaking through the space and being thrown into an unknown and strange space.
The next moment, he felt a burst of noise and found himself in a street.
There were quite a few figures walking around, but the strange thing was that every figure was wearing the same clothes, and even had the same black mask on their face.
Apart from their height, weight and size, everything else was the same; even the strength of their aura was the same.
Looking at all this, Lu Qing was surprised but not panicked.
As early as when he was refining the Netherworld Jade Plate, he knew what was going on from the information reserved in it.
This strange space is a soul space, created by an unimaginable powerful person in the Nether Palace.
Only people from the Nether Palace and outsiders who have passed the trial and are recognized by the Nether Palace can enter here.
If outsiders like Lu Qing want to enter this spiritual space, they can only rely on the Netherworld Jade Token they have refined.
In addition, unless one’s cultivation level is higher than that of the mysterious and powerful person in the Nether Palace, no one else can find the location of this spiritual space.
Even if someone snatched the Netherworld Jade Token from Lu Qing and other outsiders, they would not be able to use it to enter this spiritual space.
Because each Netherworld Jade Plate can only be refined once.
If someone tries to refine it a second time, the formation inside it will immediately self-destruct, and even a powerful soul will not be able to stop it.
It is precisely because of this spiritual space that the intelligence network of the Nether Palace is so powerful and more terrifying than any force in the Tianyuan World.
As long as the assassins of the Nether Palace hold the Nether Jade Plate, no matter where they are, they can enter the soul space at any time and exchange information.
In this way, other forces are naturally far behind.
More importantly, after being concealed by the Netherworld Jade Plate, the spiritual power that enters here will appear to others as if its aura fluctuations are the same, so there is no need to worry about being discovered as one's true identity in the outside world.
This is also the reason why many elite disciples from major forces are also interested in the external personnel trials of the Nether Palace.
This soul space is really of great value.
Lu Qing stood there and no one around him noticed him.
There are many people coming in and out of this spiritual space every day. Since their identities cannot be distinguished, most people only focus on their own affairs and rarely pay attention to others.
After observing for a while, Lu Qing finally walked to the tallest building at the end of the street.
He had noticed that flying was impossible in this spiritual space and one could only walk.
Fortunately, the street was not long, and he soon arrived in front of the building.
"Mission Hall?"
Lu Qing looked at the plaque on the entrance of the building and knew that he had found the right place.
Without hesitation, he walked in.
When he entered, he saw many figures busy walking around, but no one paid any attention to Lu Qing.
Of course, this was exactly what he wanted. After a short stroll, Lu Qing gradually got to know the situation of the mission hall.
Simply put, this Mission Hall is where the Nether Palace issues various missions.
There are not only various assassination missions, but also various bounty missions such as seeking certain precious spiritual herbs, elixirs, magic weapons and elixirs, which are very rich.
Among them, the assassination bounty missions alone are varied and include all kinds of assassinations.
Lu Qing saw that those ranked at the front and with the highest bounty were the heads of the top powerful figures among the three major clans, including the Demon Lords of the Demon Realm, the clan leaders and patriarchs of the top forces of the human race, and the demon kings of the demon race.
The bounty amount is extremely exaggerated. It is estimated that each bounty is almost equal to the inventory of a large sect.
Lu Qing even saw a bounty mission about himself in it.
[Chen Qing: Capture alive and the reward is 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Kill directly and use the head as proof to receive 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones.]
[Rewarding party: Gongshu family.]
Below the task is some introduction about his identity as Chen Qing.
Among them was the information about the many powerful souls he killed in the battle at Tianshu Mountain.
When Lu Qing saw the reward amount for himself, he was a little surprised.
And this is just the reward for the Gongshu family.
Several other forces whose powerful souls had been killed by him also issued rewards.
The bounties varied in level, but the highest was almost as high as Gongshujia's.
The lowest amount is tens of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones, which can be regarded as a huge fortune.
After reading all the bounties on himself, even Lu Qing felt an urge to fall into the trap and find someone to set him up to collect the bounties.
After all, if he had such a large amount of spirit stones, let alone cultivating to the twelfth level of the Golden Elixir, even after achieving the Primordial Spirit, it would probably be enough for him to cultivate for a long time.
Of course, Lu Qing just had this thought for a moment.
Not to mention finding someone to set up the trap, he even had to hide his identity more carefully.
Money can move people's hearts. Even some powerful soul-level beings who have gone through several soul-level tribulations would probably be tempted by such a large amount of spirit stones.
If his identity were exposed, who knew what kind of old monster he would encounter.
With his current strength, it is still difficult to resist such an existence.
After calming down, Lu Qing continued to browse other tasks.
One of the reasons why he participated in the trial of the Nether Palace was to accept bounty missions and earn spirit stones.
However, he doesn't want to take on every task, he has to screen them first.
As Lu Qing looked, he saw one of the bounty missions and his gaze suddenly stopped.
[Cang Jue: Successfully killed, you can receive 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones for the head.]
The following is a brief introduction to Cang Jue's identity and origin, saying that he is the most beloved youngest son of the Demon Lord Jiemie.
However, the name of the person who offered the reward was kept secret and he was simply referred to as Anonymous.
I don’t know whether the person who issued the bounty is a human or a traitor in the demon clan.
After all, Lu Qing had heard that the demon clan was not united internally.
There were even fierce fights between several demon lords.
If there were no human race, a powerful enemy, suppressing them, they would probably start a war themselves.
However, when Lu Qing saw the reward amount for Cang Jue, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones? This is a huge loss!"
When Lu Qing saw the amount clearly, he immediately became annoyed.
Previously in the trial space, he had fought with Cang Jue and defeated him to ashes, without even a trace of him being left.
If he had known that this devil was so valuable, he would have kept his head and collected the reward.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
No matter how upset Lu Qing was, he had to accept this reality.
Continuing to look down, Lu Qing discovered that the peerless geniuses of the younger generation of the three major clans, such as the son of the Demon Lord, the son of the Demon King, the Taoist saints of the top sects, the direct Taoist sons of the thirty-six upper clans, etc., were also on the bounty list, and the bounty was not low.
"Goodness! These three tribes claim to be extremely wary of the Nether Palace, but in reality, they are secretly placing a bounty on the heads of their enemies within the Nether Palace."
Lu Qing couldn't help but feel speechless.
Looking at the bounty missions along the way, Lu Qing suddenly paused and looked at one of the missions with his eyes slightly focused.
[Gongshu Lian: After a successful assassination, you can claim a bounty of 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones for the head.]
Looking at this task, Lu Qing's mind moved slightly and he continued reading.
The simple introduction below shows that Gongshu Lian is a member of the older generation of the Gongshu family, and his cultivation level is probably around the first level of the soul.
However, he could only obtain more detailed information about Gongshu Lian after accepting the task.
"A loser..."
Lu Qing pondered.
The conflict between him and Gongshujia has now become a fight to the death.
What's more, Gongshu Jia is now publicly offering a bounty on his head in the Nether Palace.
Since this is the case, Lu Qing will naturally not be merciful.
As long as Gongshu Lian is killed, not only can the power of the Gongshu family be weakened, but a considerable amount of spirit stones can also be earned. Why not do it?
Thinking of this, Lu Qing immediately made a decision: "Very good, my first assassination mission is you!"
Lu Qing walked towards the counter of the Mission Hall, but when he expressed his desire to accept the mission of assassinating Gongshu Lian, he was told that he was not qualified to accept this mission yet.
"Not qualified to accept?" Lu Qing was stunned.
"That's right, Senior. This mission is a Class C mission, but your current assassination level is still Class D. You are not yet able to accept this mission..."
At the counter, there was a figure wearing a rabbit mask, and judging by the voice, it seemed to be a woman.
As she slowly explained, Lu Qing finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that as a killer in the Nether Palace, there are also some rules for accepting assassination missions.
All the tasks issued by the Nether Palace are divided into levels.
There are four levels in total: A, B, C, and D, with A being the highest and D being the lowest.
The killers of the Nether Palace also have assassination levels.
Killers of different assassination levels can only accept missions of the same level as their own.
This assassination level has nothing to do with the killer's strength, but only with the number of tasks the killer completes and the task points obtained.
Like Lu Qing now, he has just become a killer in the Nether Palace and has not completed any mission yet. He is still a lowest-level D-level killer.
The mission to assassinate Gongshu Lian was a Class C mission, so he naturally could not accept it.
"So that's how it is. Then how can I improve my assassination level?" Lu Qing asked.
"Seniors who want to improve their assassination level must first complete D-level missions. For each D-level mission completed, you will receive one mission point. After receiving ten mission points, you can be promoted to C-level.
But similarly, if you accept a mission but fail to complete it within the specified time, points will be deducted..."
Through the explanation of the rabbit mask, Lu Qing finally understood the promotion mechanism of the assassination level.
To put it bluntly, the Nether Palace means that killers must work hard to complete their tasks in order to improve their assassination level.
He also got a very important piece of information from the mouth of the rabbit mask.
That is, once the assassination level reaches Level B or above, there will be an opportunity to apply for the assessment of the Nether Palace.
If you pass the assessment, you can officially join the Nether Palace.
