Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin came to the Deacon Hall of Daojianmen's main peak together. With the help of Tian Wenjin, Li Shiyin took on her first sect mission with her identity token.
When she went out, she pressed the identity token against her forehead and used her spiritual sense to check the content of the task.
"Mission name: Exterminating the demon at Dashanling
Mission description: On the evening of the twelfth day of the winter month, a villager from Dashanling came to report that there had been spider webs all over the village in recent days, and many small white spiders had appeared out of nowhere. On the morning of the eleventh day of the winter month, villager Zhao Xiping disappeared out of nowhere; at noon, villagers Zhao Xishun and Zhao Xichang went out and did not return; at night, Zhao Xichang's wife and daughter disappeared; on the twelfth day, three more villagers disappeared. It is inferred that the first-level demon beast, the rat-catching demon spider, was preying on the villagers. "
This is a level one mission, and it's a relatively simple demon-killing mission. Even though nearly ten villagers have died, the fact is that this is a simple level one mission.
Based on the villagers' description, the disciples of the Deacon Hall deduced that the monster that committed the crime was a low-level first-level rat-catching spider.
The monster to be eliminated is a level one monster, so the difficulty level of this task is level one.
Regarding the difficulty level classification of Daojianmen’s sect missions: Because the sect is located in the Hengduan Mountains, there are many monsters and beasts, and most of the missions are about catching and eliminating monsters, so for convenience, the level of sect missions is rated according to the level of the monsters involved in the missions.
A level one mission means that you will encounter a level one monster in the mission; a level nine mission means that you will encounter a level nine monster in the mission. As for other types of missions, they are also converted relatively according to the difficulty of the mission itself.
If there was a mission issued for the previous Devouring Demonic Willow disaster, it would be a level nine mission.
"Level 1 monster beast, eight people died?!" Li Shiyin was extremely shocked after reading the mission description, "How many people are killed by monster beasts in the Hengduan Mountains every year?"
"I don't know." Tian Wenjin shook his head.
Li Shiyin thought again about Li Shiwen guarding the Hengduan Mountains. She used to think it would be fun to go into the mountains to hunt every day...but she didn't expect it to be such a heavy responsibility.
"But don't underestimate the first-level monsters. After all, even the beasts that are common to civilians, such as lions and tigers, are not considered monsters."
Tian Wenjin said, "A first-level demon beast is equivalent to a cultivator in the foundation-building stage."
She looked at Li Shiyin and continued, "Although the first-level mission is only a first-level monster, the actual situation of the mission will be very complicated, and any unexpected situation is possible.
"You know, the sect only recommends disciples to take on missions that are lower in level than their own cultivation." "I know..." Tian Wenjin was afraid that she was too ambitious. Li Shiyin could tell. She nodded and said, "I just think that I should take on more missions and kill more monsters in the future."
"Let's talk about that later." Tian Wenjin said.
The two of them read the mission carefully, and then looked for information about the rat-catching spider and map information of Dashanling according to the mission content. After they were fully prepared, they flew out of the sect on their swords and headed for Dashanling.
The Rat-Catching Demon Spider is a first-level demon beast. It is so named because it generally feeds on forest mice. However, it is not a difficult demon beast to deal with, especially for Li Shiyin, because the Rat-Catching Demon Spider's killer weapon is poison.
Poison? Li Shiyin was the disciple of the alchemist Qin Ran, would she be afraid of poison? Besides, there was a snake demon in her family who specialized in playing with poison.
"It seems that this task will be very simple!" Flying the sword in the air, Li Shiyin seemed very relaxed and chatted with Tian Wenjin.
Tian Wenjin also thought that this task would be relatively simple... otherwise she wouldn't have given this task to Li Shiyin to practice. But she still reminded Li Shiyin: "Don't take it lightly no matter how simple it is."
"Eh!" Li Shiyin laughed. "Wenjin, the tone you use now is exactly the same as my master's. You always keep saying things like 'steady', 'cautious', 'don't take it lightly', and you sound mature and steady."
Upon hearing this, Tian Wenjin looked at Li Shiyin a few more times.
What kind of person knows how to be steady and cautious?
Those who have been beaten up in the world of immortal cultivation and survived know that they must be steady and cautious in this world of immortal cultivation.
What kind of person would look down on prudence and caution?
There is someone who has not yet been severely beaten by the immortal cultivation world.
Tian Wenjin looked at Li Shiyin with envy in her eyes. No girl... no one wants to become mature, if possible.
Isn't it good to live a carefree life in an ivory tower? Do I have to be beaten up by the immortal world and become mature?
Who doesn’t want to be like Li Shiyin, having a master who dotes on her, loves her, protects her, and creates a bright future for her in this dark world of cultivation?
"She is so lucky." Tian Wenjin thought, "If on the day of the Daoist Ceremony, I also said that I wanted to make pills and became a disciple of my uncle...would everything be different?"
Unfortunately, there is no if.
"It's better to be cautious." She finally said in a deep voice.
Dashanling is not far from the Hengduan Mountains, and only a few hours away from Daojianmen. Fortunately, it is in a location that has not been eroded by the catkins of the Devouring Demon Willow. Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin flew on their swords and soon arrived outside Dashanling.
This is a small village located on a mountain. The mountain is not big, and the village is not big either. From the beginning to the end of the village, from the bottom of the mountain to the top, there are about thirty households.
Outside the village, at the foot of the mountain, there are many tall fir trees, which roughly circle the hill... This is probably why the village is named Dashanling.
It was still snowing, the ground was covered in white, and the tall fir trees were also white.
Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin each landed on the top of a fir tree and looked towards the village.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s snowing, but there was no one walking around in the village, and no fireworks were seen. It was very deserted.
"Be careful." Tian Wenjin felt something was wrong.
Li Shiyin took out two Hundred Poison Pills, handed one to Tian Wenjin, and took one herself. She still looked optimistic: "Maybe they are all warming themselves by the fire at home?"
"There is no smoke or dust." Tian Wenjin looked at the pill and swallowed it anyway.
"That is..." Li Shiyin thought for a moment and tried to find an excuse. "It might be due to the incident with the Devouring Demon Willow. The villagers didn't store firewood for the winter and they all wrapped themselves in blankets to keep warm."
"Maybe!"
Tian Wenjin drew the Thunder Sword from his back, jumped off the tree, and walked into the village cautiously.
Li Shiyin took out the Qingxing Sword and held it in her hand, but the sword was not unsheathed. She followed behind Tian Wenjin and also looked alert.
The village was indeed quiet, without even the sound of a dog barking.
But just as Li Shiyin and her friends stepped into the village, the door of the house closest to the village entrance was suddenly pushed open. In the silent environment, the sound that came out of nowhere was frightening.
Li Shiyin frowned and looked over. A middle-aged man wrapped in a thick cotton coat walked out of the door. His face was dark red and rough, and there was no fluctuation of his cultivation. He looked like an ordinary citizen.
He leaned against the door and looked at her and Tian Wenjin, and asked, "What do you do?"
Tian Wenjin saluted with his sword in his arms, and said, "A disciple of Daojian Sect, I am here to exorcise the demon."
"Oh, the immortal from the sect!" The man nodded and said to Tian Wenjin, "Come with me, I will take you to the village chief's house."
"Trouble!" Tian Wenjin said.
The man led the way and walked up the mountain along the rocky path in the village.
Tian Wenjin didn't say much, and took Li Shiyin with her to follow the man up the mountain. But she didn't intend to put the sword back into the scabbard, and she kept holding it in her hand.
