Chapter 107: The Weapon Used by Confucian Cultivators
Look at the honest Barbarian Bone, what has he become after mixing with you two! Coming up and straight away saying he’s from the demonic cult.
“So you joined the Undying Sect? And even became lodge masters?” Dai Bufan saw the three in a new light, considering lodge masters are part of the demonic cult’s middle management, privy to many secrets, even clear about the process of reviving the Undying Being.
The four major demonic cults have excellent information security, and Dai Bufan has always wanted to know how the Undying Being was resurrected.
Lu Yang thought to himself that it was more than just knowing the process; the Undying Maiden was currently sleeping in his spiritual world.
Speaking of which, since the Undying Maiden is residing within me, why am I still just a lodge master? I should be made the sect leader.
“Well done! You’ve done a great job!” Dai Bufan slapped his thigh, lamenting how elusive the demonic cults are, always vigilant against the righteous path, frustrated by his inability to get firsthand information and his failed attempts to plant informants.
He didn’t expect Lu Yang and his companions to bring him a pleasant surprise.
“So Tang Yunsheng wants you to infiltrate our sect as Undying Sect spies, right? Then just go along with his plan. In half a month, the Dao Seeking Sect will recruit a batch of new service staff to expand our internal entertainment industry. I’ll include your three names in the selection.” Dai Bufan quickly made a decision.“As for the Yanjiang Lodge… do you have a list of Yanjiang Lodge members?”
“Yes.” Lu Yang, having prepared the list in advance, handed it to Dai Bufan.
Dai Bufan looked at Lu Yang meaningfully. Although the kid was slippery, he was smart enough to know what needed to be done and had prepared in advance.
“When you contact Tang Yunsheng again, make sure to disguise yourselves well and try to obtain as much information about the Undying Sect as possible.”
“As Undying Sect spies, your very role is a mission. You don’t have to complete three tasks a year like everyone else.”
“As for your contribution points, the highest reward for a Foundation Building stage task is a thousand points. You eliminated two tiger demons and four members of the demonic cult, including one in the late Golden Core stage, and successfully thwarted the Life-draining Array, contributing greatly.”
“Two Foundation Building stage tiger demons and three Foundation Building stage demonic cult members count as seven hundred and fifty contribution points.”
“Killing Helmsman Chu and stopping the Life-draining Array counts as a thousand contribution points.”
“Infiltrating the demonic cult and becoming lodge masters counts as a thousand contribution points.”
“Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone, you each get two thousand seven hundred and fifty contribution points.”
“Lu Yang, for your outstanding performance in this process, on top of the two thousand seven hundred and fifty contribution points, I’ll grant you an additional two hundred and fifty contribution points, making it three thousand contribution points in total.”
The three were overjoyed, dazed by the massive amount of contribution points. With so many points, they could buy many things on the exchange list, enough to splurge for a while.
“If you obtain other information from the Undying Sect, you will also be rewarded with contribution points.”
After discussing some confidentiality precautions, Dai Bufan let them leave.
After leaving, Lu Yang encountered an acquaintance in the mission hall, Brother Li Dan, who had once recommended a weapon to Lu Yang. The fierce-looking Brother Li Dan was standing next to a petite Senior Sister.
“Brother Li Dan.” Lu Yang and Barbarian Bone said in unison.
Lu Yang and Barbarian Bone looked at each other in surprise, not expecting both of them to know Brother Li Dan.
Barbarian Bone introduced, “This is Brother Li Dan, who bought the barbecue recipe from me for a hundred contribution points.”
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou suddenly realized; they remembered Barbarian Bone mentioning a senior brother who bought his barbecue recipe and even captured a Senior Sister’s heart with the barbecue.
“Hello.” Brother Li Dan greeted them with a smile, his smile growing more ferocious.
Dai Bufan telepathically called over Li Dan, who was chatting: “Brother Li Dan, Sister Ding Xiang, could you come over for a moment? I have a task suitable for you.”
“We’ve been called by Brother Dai, we’ll leave first.” Li Dan and Ding Xiang hurried away.
Dai Bufan handed over a list to them: “This is a list of demonic cult members I obtained through special channels. It only has names, no specific addresses. You two head to Yanjiang County, find everyone on the list, and try to eliminate them all, leaving no one behind.”
“Yes!” The two were excited, having been worried about which task to undertake next, but Brother Dai had just assigned them one.
“Get ready and go.”
“Yes!”
“Wait, there’s one more thing,” they were called back by Dai Bufan before leaving, “Don’t start a barbecue shop while you’re undercover in Yanjiang County.”
“Ah? Oh.”
…
“What do you want to buy?” Lu Yang asked Barbarian Bone.
“I want to buy a weapon suitable for Confucian cultivators. I can’t always use Brother Meng as a weapon.”
Meng Jingzhou felt somewhat offended.
“How about this fan? The fan is inscribed with poetry, and a gentle wave can produce a blade of wind. There are also soul-severing needles hidden within the fan’s folds, which can be secretly launched along with the wind blades,” Lu Yang found an interesting weapon.
“It feels too elegant. Is there something with more power?”
“How about this black sand iron hammer? Forged from black sand iron, it weighs two thousand pounds and includes a weight-increasing formation. Its weight increases the moment it’s swung down, and the increase disappears when lifted, allowing for a powerful strike that can shatter hills. No Foundation Building cultivator would dare to face it head-on. Seven hundred and eighty contribution points.”
Barbarian Bone was tempted, feeling that this suited his fighting style, but he declined.
“It’s still not what I’m looking for. I need a weapon for Confucian cultivators.”
Undeterred, Lu Yang scrolled to the bottom of the exchange list and found something interesting.
“Sleeping talisman, containing the full recitation of ‘Sage’s Words,’ effectively promoting sleep. One contribution point.”
“Stick this talisman on the hammer, and during battle, it automatically plays ‘Sage’s Words.’ Doesn’t that make the hammer a weapon for Confucian cultivators?”
Barbarian Bone’s eyes lit up, thinking Lu Yang’s idea was ingenious. How had he not thought of such a great solution?
“Bought!”
Barbarian Bone spent seven hundred eighty-one contribution points to purchase his beloved weapon.
Wielding the large iron hammer, with sage quotes playing from its handle, it was clear he was a Confucian cultivator.
Meng Jingzhou didn’t need to buy any weapons; he purchased several carts of high-quality fodder to reward the old horse.
Lu Yang bought some items that could be useful in battle: Flesh Regeneration Pill, which could instantly regrow flesh and restore vitality if a chunk of flesh was lost during a fight.
Golden Light Spell, forming a protective golden light around the body during battle, blocking several attacks and protecting the entire body, more effective than the cafeteria’s flatbread.
Lu Yang thought the Golden Light Spell was a great item and bought ten of them in one go.
Clothes that maintain cleanliness, which stay clean without the need to cast a Cleaning Spell, are essential for eating Sichuan hot pot.
And since these clothes are refined, there’s no worry about them being taken away by an enemy’s storage ring.
Lu Yang was taking precautions, concerned that an enemy might be as imaginative as himself.
