C19 I Found a Treasure

After bidding farewell to Saibai Feng, Zhou Qing went to the counter to continue renting the two rooms for half a month before returning to her room.

Song Zixuan was sitting in a daze at the window with her hands on her cheeks. Upon seeing Zhou Qing enter, her beautiful eyes immediately curved into two crescent moons.

"Big brother Zhou Qing."

Song Zixuan ran up and directly threw herself into Zhou Qing's embrace, intimately rubbing her head against his chest. Just now, the inn's main hall was filled with people, but now there were no more worries.

Zhou Qing rubbed Song Zixuan's silky long hair, a smile appearing on his face. His impatient heart, which was the result of continuous slaughter, also slowly calmed down.

"Big Brother Zhou Qing, I heard that someone said something big happened in the cave …" Are you hurt? "

Song Zixuan suddenly thought of something, and a nervous expression appeared on her small face as she asked urgently.

"Silly girl, I'm so powerful, how could something happen to me?"

Zhou Qing smiled as he pinched Song Zixuan's little face, feeling warmth in his heart.

Song Zixuan was lonely and looked upon him as her only family, but wasn't he the same? From the moment he had been thrown into the voodoo water, the connection between him and the Zhou family had been completely severed.

Hearing Zhou Qing's words, a smile appeared on Song Zixuan's nervous little face.

It was rare for Zhou Qing to relax, so he did not concentrate on his cultivation. Instead, he brought Song Zixuan around White Ridge City for a day, before returning home at sunset.

After settling down Song Zixuan, Zhou Qing returned to his room and sat cross-legged on his bed, focusing on his cultivation.

The next morning, Zhou Qing returned to the Demon Hunt Squad's great hall.

Although it was in the morning, there were many cultivators entering and exiting the Demon Hunt Squad. Many of them had the scent of blood on them, and their clothes were still stained with dried blood. After accepting the mission, they hurriedly left.

Zhou Qing walked in and stopped before the bounty board.

The bounty list was divided according to the difficulty of the mission. From the bottom, there were ordinary rank missions, suitable for Spirit Opening Realm cultivators to accept. The top, Heaven rank mission was suitable for Spirit Realm mages to accept.

The yellow level mission's bounty points were only two digits, so Zhou Qing ignored it. His gaze swept across the middle level, the Earth grade mission that was suitable for Soul Condensation cultivators.

"Quest Location: Hidden Fog Forest; Quest Content: Hunting five Raging Flaming Bulls and taking their hide; Cultivation Level: Initial Soul Condensation; Reward: 1000 gold, 150 points; Quest Time: five days."

"Quest Location: Near Jiuhua Village" "Quest Content: Find the Evil Demon Green Shadow Hawk that harmed the village and kill it; Cultivation base, early stage of Soul Condensation; 1500 gold, 150 points; Quest Time Limit: 10 days"

"Mission location: Black Wind Stronghold of the Heavenly Calamity Mountain; Mission content: exterminate thirty bandits of the Black Wind Stronghold, as well as Great Master Zhao Zhangkong and Second Master Wu Yong; cultivation: Wu Yong is at the early stage of Soul Formation, Zhao Zhangkong is at the middle stage of Soul Formation; reward: 5,000 gold, 1000 points; task duration: 20 days"

The so-called Demon Hunt Squad didn't merely refer to demons, demons or cultivators. It also referred to all existences that threatened the normal order of the Profound Heaven Continent.

For example, some evil cultivators, or the bandits in the forest, they could all be called demons!

Every time he completed a Demon Hunt Squad, he could go to any city to submit a mission in the Demon Hunt Squad Hall. If he completed the mission, he would receive a bounty of money and a reward of points.

Demon Hunters' Demon Hunt Squads' contribution points would be recorded by the Wan An Chamber of Commerce. The sum of history points would reach the top 100, allowing them to enter the Demon Hunt Ranking!

There were no weaklings on the Demon Hunt Squad. Those who could make a name for themselves on the Demon Hunt Squad were all heaven's pride experts.

This was the supreme honor of all cultivators on the Profound Heaven Continent, and was also a symbol of status!

Zhou Qing subconsciously looked towards the center of the Demon Hunt Squad's great hall.

A three meter high spiritual stone stood there, and on it, a halo revolved, densely recording the name, cultivation, rank, and corresponding history of the Demon Hunters in the top hundred.

Demon Hunt Squad # 1: Profound Heaven Sect, Zong Lie, intermediate stage of Spirit Realm, 508,400 Demon Hunt Squad points!

Demon Hunt Squad's second rank: Zhou family, Zhou Xuanlang, early stage of the Spirit Realm, Demon Hunt Squad Points: 421573 points!

Seeing this, Zhou Qing's pupils couldn't help but constrict before he grinned mockingly at himself.

The words' Zhou Qing ', once number one on the Demon Hunt Squad Rankings, had already been quietly erased without a trace.

After a moment of silence, he smiled coolly and paid no further attention. He was not trying to escape, but it did not matter.

He was confident that it was only a matter of time before he regained his position at the top of the rankings for "Zhou Qing."

After accepting six Earth grade missions in a single go, Zhou Qing didn't stay any longer and quickly left the Demon Hunt Squad's great hall.

The Hidden Fog Forest was located 90 miles south of White Ridge City.

The vegetation here was lush, ancient trees reached into the sky, and fog surrounded the area all year round. It was the hiding place of many demons, and Demon Hunters often appeared there.

Zhou Qing held his breath, hiding behind an ancient tree. His eyes were fixed on a huge bison that was walking along a nearby stream.

This bison was more than three meters long, and had malevolent muscles. Its fur was scarlet red, and from afar, it looked like it was wearing a cloak of raging flames. It was particularly conspicuous in this forest shrouded in mist.

A low-grade earth-step demon, the Raging Flame Bull!

Demons were divided into three levels and twelve levels. The higher the level, the stronger the cultivation talent, and the higher the upper limit.

As long as a low-grade earth-step demon successfully matured, their combat strength would be equal to an early Soul Formation stage demon, or even stronger!

Zhou Qing accepted the Demon Hunt Squad's mission of killing five Raging Flames Bull. At the same time, he also needed to consume Earth Rank demon essence in order to temper his first special acupoint, so he directly rushed to this place.

With Zhou Qing's current strength at the peak of the Spirit Opening Realm, he could absolutely face this Raging Flame Bull head on.

However, this type of demonic beast loved to live in a group. Killing one would startle the entire group. If they accidentally provoked a group of raging bulls, even Zhou Qing did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to escape unscathed.

Therefore, he had to kill him cleanly and decisively, and it would be best if he could do so in one shot!

The Raging Flame Bull paced back and forth beside the stream with a vigilant look. After approximately half an incense's time, the alarmed look in its bewitching eyes disappeared as it lowered its head and started drinking.

The chance had come!

Ka-cha! *

Seeing the Raging Flaming Bull lowering its head, Zhou Qing no longer hesitated. He stomped his foot heavily and his spirit energy began to boil.

The instant the tree trunk shattered, he burst out!

The demons' alertness was extremely high. The Raging Flame Bull sensed Zhou Qing's movement the moment he jumped out. It howled in rage, and all the hair on its body instantly stood up like flames as it raised its head to look behind it.

However, it was too late.

Pfft!

A low sound of a sword entering flesh rang out. The sharp sword that contained spirit energy directly pierced through his forehead and instantly shattered the demon core within.

The demon core was equivalent to a human heart. Once it was broken, the only path left was death.

The raging raging bull finally collapsed to the ground after he had rushed out for over ten meters with his momentum, dying from the spasms.

In the forest, dust and dirt flew everywhere. Zhou Qing stepped forward and waved his sword, and in a moment, the piece of leather was peeled off and thrown into the Fate Stone.

Just as Zhou Qing was about to turn around and leave, his expression suddenly changed. He lowered his head to look at the ground.

The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, as if it was the result of the stampede of a giant beast.

His expression was gloomy as he raised his head to look over. He was shocked to find that within the misty fog within the forest, dozens of blazing balls of fire were suddenly lit up, jumping about!

The raging bulls were alarmed!

"It's a bit troublesome. Thankfully, there aren't too many of them."

Zhou Qing roughly estimated the number. It should be between ten to fifteen. It would require a bit of effort, but he could handle it.

"This battle will be used to consolidate my cultivation."

The magic sword in Zhou Qing's hand made a clanging sound as the Spiritual Energy within his body surged. His body moved like a ghost, quickly disappearing into the mist.

A moment later, the raging bulls roared, shaking the entire forest.

This place was very quiet, and there weren't any Demon Hunters passing by. Zhou Qing didn't have any scruples, and immediately used the Thunderclap Sword Technique!

The Thunderclap Sword Technique was the Zhou family's secret technique. It was known for its explosive power. In terms of killing power, it was one of the top in the entire martial arts world.

Zhou Qing was once at the peak of the Spirit Realm, and he had lecherously immersed himself in the path of the sword for decades. His understanding of the Thunderclap Sword Technique was extremely deep.

With a flash of sword light, a Raging Flame Bull's forehead was pierced in an instant. Blood gushed out, and before it could fall to the ground, Zhou Qing once again stepped out and viciously chopped down.

Demonic blood splattered everywhere!

As time passed, the originally fearsome crowd of Raging Flames Bull began to grow increasingly restless as well.

Demons were far fiercer than humans. This was a fact, but it did not mean that they were unafraid of death.

It was only at this moment that the group of Raging Flames Bull finally discovered that this human cultivator was truly too strong, so strong that it was outrageous!

The Raging Inferno Bull finally gave up on the fight and scattered in all directions with a loud roar. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the fog.

Zhou Qing sheathed his sword and panted slightly. However, when he saw the seven corpses of the Raging Flames Bull on the ground, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Quickly peeling off the skin, Zhou Qing began slicing apart the seven Demonic corpses one by one. In the end, he finally collected two drops of Demonic Qi.

Not every demon would give birth to blood essence. Out of the seven great demons, two of them obtained the highest amount of blood essence. Zhou Qing's luck could already be considered excellent.

"Kid, your sword art is not bad, but your movement technique is too weak."

Just as Zhou Qing was about to collect his spoils of war and leave, the Curse Spirit's laughter suddenly rang out, "At your current speed, wanting to earn 4,000 Demon Hunt Squad points in ten days is just too difficult."

Zhou Qing was startled. The words spoken by the Curse Spirit were indeed correct.

The movement technique he had just used was the Zhou family's Thunderclap Steps.

The Thunderclap Steps was like a clap of thunder, as fine as a boulder. When combined with the Thunderclap Sword Technique, the explosive power was extremely strong.

However, the Lightning Shocking Steps had a fatal weakness, which was its outburst and lack of precision. Furthermore, the consumption of spirit energy was even greater, making it very difficult to sustain.

"Whatever, since you are willing to give me that Spirit-Replenishing Pill, I will grant you a movement technique."

The lazy voice of the Curse Spirit sounded out once more, causing Zhou Qing to be shocked.

In the next moment, a profound movement technique that encompassed pictures, words, meridians, acupuncture points, and the circulation route of spiritual energy, rushed into Zhou Qing's mind.

The name of this movement technique was simple and clear. There was only one word to it.

In an instant!

What was instant? When it was fast to the limit, it would be in the blink of an eye! Using the word 'instant' to name it was enough to show the creator's confidence in this movement technique!

While he was still in shock, Zhou Qing found a secret location. He closed his eyes in thought and quickly familiarized himself with this movement technique.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Zhou Qing finally opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a mouthful of impure air. His expression was filled with uncontrollable joy.

"This time, I've picked up a treasure!"
