's shoulder in consolation."Ahhh..."Fēng Chén, as if possessed, lunged forward wildly, its mouth gaping open as if to bite Hóng Yào Zǔ.Hong Yaozu was so frightened that he immediately took several ste...The metallic scent became even more pungent.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

At this moment, the sound of slashing came from the third layer again.

Fang Yu frowned, looking up at the third layer and saying, "If all of this is just a test of courage, you can stop. It's meaningless."

"I've heard that everyone who comes here doesn't care about their lives, so how could you scare them with such petty tricks"

The moment the words left his lips, the sound vanished instantly.

and the blood staining the ground on the second floor, also quickly transformed.

The scene on the second floor suddenly became unreal.

It returned to normal soon.

In the center of the second floor is a tea table.

Before the coffee table, sat a person wearing a black cloak.

He just sat there, hands clasped, chin resting on them.

At this moment, he was staring straight at Fang Yu.

A pair of eyes with completely gray-white pupils, where the presence of the eyeball is unseen.

As for the face, it was pitch black, completely obscuring its true features.

Or perhaps, this is its true face.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, sizing up this strange man.

This is the middleman of the Underworld

Come here, sit down.

At this moment, the strange man spoke.

Its voice was very hoarse, sounding like a collection of many voices, quite strange.

Fang Yu walked forward and sat down on a wooden stool in front of the tea table.

"Too many dullards, so I give them the spectacle they crave." The odd man said in a flat tone.

This obviously explains the reason for the terrifying and gloomy scenes that appeared before.

Fang Yu didn't say much.

At this time, the strange man again asked: "Wine, or tea"

"Do you still have tea and wine here I prefer tea, but I like to drink fresh tea leaves," Fang Yu said.

However, the strange man didn't make any move to brew tea or fetch wine. He just stared straight at Fang Yu and asked again, "Wine... or tea"

Fang Yu only then realized, the meaning of this sentence... Perhaps it was the difficulty level of the task to be taken

Tea and wine are different. Tea is refreshing and light, while wine is rich and strong.

Therefore, if the meaning is difficulty... naturally, drinking is harder.

"Drink." Fang Yu said.

At this moment, the strange man flipped his pale left hand over, and a small wine bottle appeared in his hand, placed directly in front of Fang Yu.

"The golden wine, the average cultivator can't drink it down," the strange man said.

"...So it's really just about drinking tea and alcohol" Fang Yu picked up the bottle of alcohol.

The amount of liquor inside is just about two sips.

He tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp.

He didn't even consider the possibility of the wine being poisoned.

Just like the odd fellow said, this bottle of wine, despite only having two sips, feels incredibly strong.

It felt like swallowing a burning coal, the intense heat flowing directly through my meridians.

This kind of atmosphere is akin to a warm-up.

Such a feeling might be painful for ordinary cultivators, but for the other party, Yu... it was a different kind of pleasure.

"There's only one mission at the moment," the weirdo said. "Obtain the God-Creating Stone."

"Celestial Stone" Fang Yu's eyes flickered, he asked, "What is this thing"

"You need not know the specifics of that. I can only tell you the exact payment," the strange man said calmly. "Eighty million Xuan coins and twenty Spirit Crystal Mountains."

80 million Xuan coins, twenty Spirit Crystal Mountains...

"How many spirit crystals is Spirit Crystal Mountain equivalent to" Fang Yu asked.

"Forty to fifty thousand yuan," the strange man replied.

A Spirit Crystal Mountain is equivalent to four to five thousand Spirit Crystals, so twenty Spirit Crystal Mountains... would be equivalent to eight hundred thousand to one million Spirit Crystals!

After Fang Yu purchased a starship, and the value of Xuan coins and spirit crystals was clarified... he realized how large the sum was.

To put it mildly, this is astronomical for any cultivator.

"Is this the only task available" Fang Yu asked.

"Yes." the strange man replied.

"If the reward is so generous, why wasn't it claimed by any cultivators before" Fang Yu asked again.

"Seven cultivators have taken on this task," the strange man replied, "and all of them are now dead."

Fāng Yǔ narrowed his eyes and asked, "What cultivation level are these cultivators"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that," the strange man replied.

"Then, can you give me an example of the danger level of this task" Fang Yu asked again.

"Unknown," the strange man replied.

"You know nothing, what use are you" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.

"If everything were understood perfectly, then this task wouldn't hold such high value," the stranger said calmly, his gray-white eyes showing no emotion, "Do you wish to accept this mission"

"You don't provide any information and just ask me if I accept the task" Fang Yu frowned and said, "Is there such a way to do business"

"This isn't the Wuge, this is the rule," the strange man replied. "If you accept the mission, I will tell you the specific location, and what you must do...is to obtain the Stone of Heaven's Creation and bring it back."

"Do you...accept the mission"

The weirdo asked again.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, weighing his options in his mind.

To be honest, he came to the underworld for a high-paying mission.

First, Fang Yu can learn more about many aspects of the virtual world during the process of completing tasks.

Second, you can obtain a large amount of spirit crystals to improve your cultivation.

For Fang Yu, who had just arrived in the Xuyuan Realm, these two things were the most important.

However, the strange man before me was rather peculiar.

And the goal of the mission is to create a divine stone... Since the reward is so high, the difficulty of the mission needless to say, it must be hell level.

Accept or decline

Fang Yu cupped her chin and pondered.

"The Client also has one more thing to add. If anyone truly manages to obtain the Divine Creation Stone, it can offer rewards beyond just Xuan Coins and Spirit Crystals," the Eccentric Man added.

"Could I order something else" Fang Yu asked with a narrowed gaze.

"Yes," the strange man replied.

"Well then... I'll accept it." Fang Yu made his final decision.

"Sure Accepting the task means signing a blood pact." The strange man said.

"I know the rules here, so just sign it," Fang Yu said. "I'm afraid you guys won't pay up either."

The strange man fell silent, slapping his right hand on the table.

"Whoosh!"

A blood-red mark appeared on the table.

"Put your hand up." the strange man said.

Fāng Yǔ raised his left hand and placed it on the mark on the table.

At that moment, the imprint contracted and vanished from Fang Yu's palm.

This was the first time Fang Yu had seen a blood pact signed in this way.

"Alright, now tell me the exact location. And what does the Tian Shen Stone roughly look like" Fang Yu asked.

"The Heaven-Creating Stone is located in the Polar Star," the eccentric man said. "It's very far from here, but the client provided a detailed map with coordinates."

As he spoke, the strange man produced another scroll from his left hand and placed it before Fang Yu.

Fang Yu picked up the scroll.

At this moment, the strange man raised his left palm again, and a ball of light condensed on it.

"Whoosh..."

Radiant.

A piece of irregularly shaped, seven-colored luminous stone appeared in his palm.

Fang Yu's eyes changed slightly, and his heart skipped a beat.

The strange man's palm revealed a glowing, multi-colored stone... how was it so similar to the seven-colored crystal embedded in the ring that Hua Yan had given him!l sleep in the storage space, it's quieter there and no one will disturb you," Fang Yu smiled.Then, he put the ball into the storage space.Unlike ordinary creatures, Xiaoqiu seemed unaffected by being...
