Chapter Eighty-One: Being Targeted

  After the trial of refining equipment ended, through the mouth-to-mouth transmission of many entry-level disciples and miscellaneous servants, Kong Fang's news of successfully refining a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure in just half a year spread rapidly throughout the Equipment Sect like wind.

  Many inner disciples did not believe the news at first, thinking it was a rumor. How could a newly promoted inner disciple possibly refine a low-grade postnatal spiritual treasure in just half a year? This joke is too big. And if someone really achieved this, how would those inner disciples who spent three or four years, or even five years and still couldn't refine a low-grade postnatal spiritual treasure feel?

  Huoyun Hall has already suffered a blow with the appearance of Sun Hao, and now another even more abnormal one appears. In the future, they might as well not refine equipment to avoid being ridiculed for failing to produce a low-grade Heaven Spirit Treasure.

  As the rumor was spread by more and more people, and some of the inner disciples also personally acknowledged it, other inner disciples were shocked to find that someone had indeed spent only half a year to refine a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

  Kong Fang, who had made a huge profit, didn't care about the increasingly intense rumors and went straight to the Lingbao Hall with all kinds of treasures. He wanted to exchange these treasures for contribution points.

  Kong Fang didn't mind the rumors because he was very clear in his heart that only refining a low-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasure wouldn't attract too much attention from the elder. One breakthrough could only show that there was a possibility of improvement in the level of refining equipment, and afterwards, it would still take a lot of time and effort to hone skills. Only when the success rate is guaranteed to be above 20-30% will the elder personally intervene, and at that time, there will also be various rewards. However, generally, they are bestowed with the Soul Refining Method, because the Soul Refining Method is the most precious for cultivators.

  Kong Fang's gains this time were great, and just from Pang Tian Sheng and those inner disciples alone, he earned 3,500 contribution points. Adding the weapons and armor that Luo Qing took out as a bonus, they could be exchanged for another 700-800 contribution points.

  This time, Kong Fang gained a total of more than 4,000 contribution points. Adding the some contribution points he had accumulated before, Kong Fang now has a total of over 5,000 contribution points.

  The contribution points for exchanging the Five Elemental Mirror were now only half left, which made Kong Fang's heart slightly excited, really didn't expect to accumulate so many contribution points so quickly.

  Actually, Kong Fang had originally planned to exchange the treasures of the two men he killed at Qianlong Lake for contribution points, but now it's not very suitable. He is currently in the limelight, and if he takes out a large number of treasures, it would be easy for some powerful inner disciples to take notice of him.

  However, Kong Fang had no idea that he was already being watched by some inner disciples as soon as he came out of the Lingbao Hall. Suddenly getting over 4,000 contribution points was something unimaginable among the inner disciples. To know that someone like Pang Tiānshēng, who ranked in the top ten in terms of strength, had spent one or two years accumulating so many contribution points, and during this time he didn't dare exchange them for anything else, otherwise the time used would only be longer.

  Kong Fang left the Lingbao Hall and went straight to the Tianji Hall to see if there were any suitable tasks he could do. Some of the inner disciples looked at Kong Fang's disappearing back, turned around and quickly left.

  Kong Fang now wants to accumulate 10,000 contribution points as soon as possible, so that he can exchange for the Five-Elemental Mirror, which will allow him to have an extra chance to save his life.

  From yesterday to today, the entire Qixiang Sect seemed normal, but Kong Fang knew that Longwang's visit was not a casual stroll. The Dragon King had come to discuss with the Sect Master how to deal with the sects of those who appeared at Qiandong Lake.

  Three forces are fighting, although this is not something that Kong Fang, a small soul-retrieving cultivator, can participate in. However, when the city gate catches fire, it will also scorch the fish in the moat. How much more so when three powerful forces clash? Kong Fang cannot help but make some preparations for the potential dangers that may arise next.

  "This time, although I got a lot of treasures from Zhao Yong and the two external personnel in Qianlong Lake, some of the more precious and suspicious treasures cannot be exchanged for contribution points. The remaining treasures can only be exchanged for over 2,000 contribution points, leaving a gap of 2-3,000 points to reach 10,000." Kong Fang felt somewhat helpless, as he had many treasures in his hand but couldn't take them out.

  Kong Fangguang obtained a large number of treasures from the hands of two of the three people he killed in Qianlong Lake, but not from the third person, whose body sank into the water. At that time, Kong Fang was intercepted by the Half-Blooded Dragon and had no time to take away the storage ring of his opponent.

  These people are all powerful spiritual realm cultivators, and even among those in the spiritual realm, their strength is considered to be very strong. The treasures on them naturally far surpass those of the soul-calling realm cultivators. Moreover, the three of them come from a certain large sect, and are not something that a bandit leader type of cultivator can compare to.

  Many of these treasures are quite special and can only be used by cultivators who have entered the spiritual realm. Kong Fang couldn't exchange them for contribution points, otherwise he would have accumulated 10,000 contribution points long ago.

  "Let's focus on the task at hand first. When we get a chance, let's go to Qianlong Lake and see if we can find the third person's storage ring." Kong Fang thought to himself.

  If the third person's storage ring is taken away by a half-blooded dragon or an aquatic demon beast, it would be useless for Kong Fang to go now, and he would only waste his time. If the aquatic demon beast did not move the third person's storage ring, it would be fine even if Kong Fang went later. Kong Fang entered the Tianji Hall, preparing to check first if there were any sects closer to the Qianlong Lake, so that he could go to the Qianlong Lake along the way.

  "Have seen Master Kong Fang." As soon as Kong Fang walked up to a counter, the male servant behind it greeted him with a smile and asked after his well-being.

  Kong Fang was already used to this kind of thing and nodded slightly before asking, "Are there any recent tasks with a higher reward?"

  "Of course there are, and there are several such tasks. The ones with the lowest rewards have at least 2,000 contribution points." The male odd jobber's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Kong Fang.

  Is there such a good thing? Kong Fang was immediately very excited.

  "What's the task after all?" Kong Fang asked with some excitement.

  "The sect that posted the task requires the refinement of middle and high-grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasures, and the highest-paying one is to refine a top-grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure. I'll find these tasks for Brother Kong Fang." The male servant looked even more excited than Kong Fang, just as he was about to retrieve the jade slips recording these tasks from the counter, Kong Fang hastily stopped him.

  Kong Fang looked at the slightly bewildered male servant with a suspicious expression and asked, "You don't think I can refine mid-grade and high-grade postnatal spiritual treasures, do you?"

  "The senior brother was hidden and not exposed, and as soon as he took action, he refined a lower-grade post-heavenly spiritual treasure, shocking everyone. Maybe now he can also refine a medium-grade post-heavenly spiritual treasure, it's just that the senior brother is keeping it a secret." The male servant said with full confidence. Kong Fang was very curious about where the male servant's confidence came from.

  Kong Fang couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh and shook his head, saying: "You'd better hand over the task jade slip to me, I'll take a look myself."

  A moment later,

  When Kong Fang saw a task posted by a sect called 'Muxingzong', Kong Fang was taken aback. "This task was posted by Muxingzong seven days ago, and yet anyone can take it. Those who accept the task must arrive at Muxingzong before the eighth day, and then refine their equipment under the arrangement of Muxingzong. Among them, those with higher refining levels and success rates will receive another refining task with a high reward."

  Kong Fang was somewhat surprised in his heart, this Mu Xing Zong is indeed wealthy and powerful enough to use such a method to screen the refiners. It's worth noting that daring to use this method to screen the disciples of the sect requires not only a large amount of wealth but also strong power, otherwise, this method would be disrespectful to the sect.

  "The reward for screening and refining equipment is pretty good, and the time is just tomorrow, so let's do this task first." Kong Fang directly accepted this task.
