"Bang!"
"-160!"
"-110!"
"-10!"
With one punch, three numbers popped up on Link's body, and Link instantly turned into white light and disappeared.
Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred when he saw this; the last number was purple, which meant his Poison Fang passive had been triggered.
Picking up the two light clusters, one white and one purple, that Link dropped, Ji Dongfeng couldn't help but sigh.
"I am a compassionate person. I said I would only rob, not kill. Why did you force my hand? Tell me, am I right?" Ji Dongfeng turned to look at the stunned Dream Creation members and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes! You are absolutely right!"
"Cough cough! You're so right! We have something to do, so we're leaving first. Please, make yourselves at home."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Chuangmeng Guild members quickly ran towards Qingfeng Village. They knew that if they stayed there, it would only maximize the Chuangmeng Guild's losses.
Ji Dongfeng sneered when he saw this, then looked at the two items Link had dropped.
"Void Illusory Stone (Fairy Grade): Can open a Lianqi/Lianti Realm magic treasure secret realm after use. This secret realm requires three people to enter together. Minimum cultivation required: Body Refinement/Body Refinement 3rd Layer."
"Dog Barking Boots (2-Star Mortal Tool): The barking of dogs causes disarray. After equipping, defense increases by 5 points, agility increases by 1 point. When using movement techniques, a phantom of a wild dog will appear, which will launch a random attack on nearby enemies. Attack power is fixed at 5 points. The phantom disappears after attacking. Minimum equipment requirement: Mortal."
"In the previous life, Link, Yueying, and a captain from Four Seas Guild entered the Void Illusory Realm together. It was precisely because they entered this illusion that Yueying's strength rapidly increased, eventually even becoming the vice-guild leader of Annihilation."
Putting away the Void Illusory Stone, Ji Dongfeng returned to the entrance of Qingfeng Village, where Mo Ran was already waiting.
"Take a look, is this it?"
"Yes! Did you really kill... educate Link?"
"Yes, but I suggest you leave this with me for now. As you can see, this item can only be used at Lianqi 3rd Layer and requires three people. You won't reach that level anytime soon, and keeping it on you will only make Annihilation and others trouble you again," Ji Dongfeng said.
Mo Ran pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Alright, Big Brother, I trust you. Just take me with you when you enter. I'll transfer 100,000 to you right away."
"You don't have to..."
Before Ji Dongfeng could finish speaking, Mo Ran interrupted, "Big Brother, don't refuse. This is what I promised you! And it's not much, but it's all the pocket money I have for a week right now..."
Ji Dongfeng's mouth twitched twice upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Mo Ran.
"Ding, please note, Mo Ran has transferred 100,000 yuan to your personal linked bank card. Please check."
"Alright! I'm going to level up! I'll be around here, Big Brother, just call me anytime if you need anything!"
The next moment, Mo Ran didn't give Ji Dongfeng a chance to speak and vanished in a puff of smoke.
Ji Dongfeng curled his lips when he saw this and murmured, "Is this the silly son of a rich family...? Mo Ran, why do I have no impression of this name at all?"
After racking his brain for a long time, Ji Dongfeng could only give up and turned to Li Youwei to submit the quest.
"Ding, completed quest: Clear Snake Infestation. Reward: 400 Spirit Stones, 20 Qingfeng Village Contribution Points, 10 Poison Repelling Pills (Mortal Grade), 1 Basic Skill Pack."
"Young Hero, you are truly the great benefactor of our Qingfeng Village! You have already done so much for us, and I must show my appreciation. I have some good things here that you can exchange with contribution points. There is one item specifically prepared for you," Li Youwei said with a grateful expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, a translucent light screen appeared in front of Ji Dongfeng. Ji Dongfeng was not surprised by this; as long as his contribution points exceeded 30, Li Youwei would display the contribution exchange interface.
There were two or three dozen items available for exchange on the light screen, most of which were elixirs or low-star Mortal Tool equipment. Only two items caught Ji Dongfeng's attention.
"Xiaoyao Town Pass Token: Only by holding this token can one enter Xiaoyao Town, where Cultivators truly begin their adventures. Requires 30 Contribution Points to exchange."
"Qingfeng Cultivator's Cultivation Insights: A cultivation insight from a Tribulation Transcender, a treasure passed down in the village chief's family, only displayed to fated individuals who have cultivated Qingfeng Force. Requires 100 Contribution Points to exchange."
These two items were what Ji Dongfeng needed most.
"In the previous life, someone on the forums had calculated that only two people seemed to have obtained Qingfeng Force, but because the token was also a must-have, and all the regular quests in Qingfeng Village combined could only provide 60 contribution points, even with Shangguan Yu's 50 contribution points, it was impossible to exchange for both the token and the insights simultaneously, unless one found and completed a hidden quest, but that difficulty was too great. So, in the end, only one person exchanged for these insights, seemingly named Shi Potian... Later, this Shi Potian also disappeared without a trace, and no one ever knew what these insights were for."
Ji Dongfeng pondered for a moment, first exchanged for a token, and then accepted the last quest from Li Youwei that could provide contribution points.
"Ding, accepted quest: Rowdy Apes."
"Rowdy Apes: In the deepest part of Wild Wolf Forest, the apes are the last line of defense guarding the forest exit. They possess both strength and wisdom and need a good beating. Kill 100 Qingfeng Apes (Body Refinement Realm 4th Layer). Reward: 20 Qingfeng Village Contribution Points, 500 Spirit Stones, 1 Furious Ape War Hammer, 1 Random Movement Technique Manual."
Bidding farewell to Li Youwei, Ji Dongfeng quickly arrived at the bustling tavern. It was still deserted, with only one player cursing at the entrance.
"A broken wine sold so expensively! Anyone who enters this shop is an idiot!"
The moment he shouted this, Ji Dongfeng stepped inside.
The next moment, Ji Dongfeng turned his head and met the gaze of the player named "Da Zhanggui."
Both sides were silent, but to Da Zhanggui, the silence was deafening.
"Holy crap, Dongfeng Po... Cough cough! Did the shopkeeper inside not hear clearly? I'll say it again! Anyone who enters this shop is a great hero!" Da Zhanggui shouted without changing his expression.
Ji Dongfeng curled his lips when he heard this, ignoring Da Zhanggui and walking directly to the Fat Shopkeeper in the tavern.
"Shopkeeper, here are 10 snake galls."
"Oh?! Young Hero actually did it! That's wonderful! I can finally taste snake gall wine! I won't let you help for nothing; you can pick any jar of wine here!"
"Ding, completed quest: Snake Gall Wine. Reward: 30 Qingfeng Village Contribution Points, one jar of any wine from the Bustling Tavern."
Ji Dongfeng chuckled upon hearing this and looked directly at a jar of wine behind the Fat Shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper! I want that jar!"
The Fat Shopkeeper's face showed difficulty upon hearing this.
"Young Hero, it's not that I'm stingy, but this jar of wine was ordered by an old friend a long time ago, but he hasn't come to pick it up yet. How about you choose another jar? I even have good wine here that can improve cultivation..."
"I've set my sights on this one jar. Shopkeeper, you can't go back on your word. You said I could choose whatever I wanted."
"This..."
"How about this, you tell me where your old friend is. He hasn't come to pick it up, right? I'll deliver it to him, and then I'll share this jar of wine with him, so you won't be in a difficult position."
The Fat Shopkeeper pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then reluctantly said, "Alright, he really hasn't come for a long time, and I'm a little worried about him. He lives next to a broken cliff in the deepest part of Wild Wolf Forest. It's hard work for Young Hero to deliver this jar of wine to him. If he doesn't let you in, just say that Shopkeeper Wang sent you."
"No problem! I guarantee delivery!" Ji Dongfeng took the wine and chuckled. This jar of wine was the key item to unlock the third hidden quest.
"Forgetful Wine (Mortal Grade): An ordinary strong liquor, to be tasted by an extraordinary person. After drinking, attack power can be increased by 20 points for 10 minutes. Can be drunk up to 10 times."
The next moment, Ji Dongfeng left the tavern, and Da Zhanggui also approached with a wide smile.
"Hehehe, Big Brother Dongfeng! How about we discuss a business deal!"
