The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 160 157: Gathering old subordinates and rewards
Chu Zhou had to admit that the completion of [Main Mission 2] gave him great inspiration and enlightenment.

It turns out that these main quests do not require one to make one's own sect the overlord of a prefecture or county, but only require one to complete a few goals specified in the quest description.

Therefore, in view of this, Chu Zhou broke down the "task description" of [Main Mission Three] and tried to complete them one by one.

[Mission Description: Strengthen the sect, teach and impart knowledge, and make the sect recognized in the prefecture and have a greater influence.]

Looking closely, there are four goals: 'strengthening the sect', 'teaching and imparting knowledge', 'recognition from a prefecture' and 'greater influence'.

For example, the first goal is to expand the sect. Currently, Xuanzhen Temple has 520 outer disciples. Compared with before, the number has increased many times, and the strength has also increased many times.

For example, 'teaching and imparting knowledge'.

At this stage, Chu Zhou has not thought about passing on his cultivation skills. He still needs to maintain his technical advantage, so the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple is the best choice.

Although it is still martial arts, you can tell me whether it has made any progress compared to traditional martial arts, whether its combat power has been improved, and it even involves some contents of body refining, body tempering and qi-eating…

After all, we have gone a long way in the field of "teaching and imparting knowledge".

Moreover, because of this, the name of Xuanzhen Temple has become well-known in the eight counties of Chishui Prefecture.

To be precise, they may not necessarily understand Xuanzhen Temple, but they must have known about the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple.

Then, the "recognition of one prefecture" was completed.

But at this point, there is still one step missing!
The goal of "having a greater influence" is very troublesome, and the tentacles of Xuanzhen Temple have not been able to go beyond Tianquan County.

But if we take a shortcut, all we need is for Tyrant Sect to admit it!
So, the purpose of the announcement is there.

That’s right, Chu Zhou’s ultimate goal has never been the false reputation of being the number one martial arts sect in Tianquan County, but the influence that this false reputation brings with the recognition of the Tyrant Sect.

Just like in [Main Mission 2], Zhou Wu came and gave a place of worship, and the mission was completed.

In a sense, this is "taking advantage of the situation", which means taking advantage of the situation.

Of course, it can be done without taking shortcuts.

The simplest way is to kill Ba Zong, let Xuan Zhen Guan become the number one sect in Chi Shui Prefecture, and guard the area of ​​one prefecture and eight counties. In this way, the mission will definitely be accomplished.

But how difficult is that?
It’s reaching the sky, okay?

When he came to his senses, the information in his sea of ​​consciousness was locked on the 'mission reward' column.

[Quest Reward: A Secret Realm Tracking Stone, the Heavenly Dharma Platform is opened, Merit Points +10000]

Looking at these, Chu Zhou wanted to enter the Reception Hall immediately and investigate thoroughly.

He benefited a lot from exchanging one thousand merit points for five basic courses. Now he has ten thousand points, which is enough for him to exchange for fifty basic courses, which will make him learn until he is exhausted.

This doesn't even include the 'Secret Realm Tracking Stone' and the 'Platform for the Performance of Laws in the Heavens'. Their specific functions are unknown, but judging from the names, they sound like high-end stuff.

He couldn't wait any longer!
There was no way. After two years, the original foundation had been exhausted. Chu Zhou knew clearly that if he wanted to maintain the current speed of progress, he would have to have new supplements.

Or knowledge, or something else, and these are the rewards.

However, it's not possible now, it's still daytime and he has things to deal with.

Tatata!
When he heard footsteps, Chu Zhou saw Fan Zhong leading the drunkard old man Feng Yan towards him.

"Greetings, Master Chu. I wonder what important matter has the Master called me here for?"

The drunkard old man Feng Yan looked at Chu Zhou with a complicated gaze, so complicated that it was a little restrained.

In fact, they had only known each other for more than two years, but this friend of different ages had already reached a height that he could not reach, so much so that he did not know how to treat him.

Chu Zhou also sensed his difference, looked up at him, and said strangely: "This is not your character, shouldn't you come up to me and ask for a drink now?"

Seeing that his attitude remained unchanged, Feng Yan also relaxed, found a place to sit, and said, "I'm just afraid that you will no longer be the friend who ate roast chicken and drank strong liquor with me on the roof!"

"What about now?"

The old drunkard was even more confident: "Now it seems that's not the case. I've been hiding here for so long, and you haven't come to drink with me. This makes me, an old guy, very upset."

"Looking for you to drink?"

Chu Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "You are hiding in Baisha City, how could you not know what happened during this period of time?

When Ba Zong came to my door, do you think I still had the mood to care about other things?

Although the crisis has been resolved now, but at that time, I was already thinking about how to keep those two people, how to organize the manpower, and how to let my brothers escape.

I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes and follow the old path of Wenxiangguan.”

"So, how did you want to kill people at that time? You even wanted to kill the martial arts master of Ba Zong. Really, really, tsk tsk..."

As they chatted like this, the old drunkard returned to his usual eccentric behavior.

He found a more comfortable position, took a sip from the wine gourd, and asked, "Is your family's secret martial arts really so domineering that it can actually defeat a master?"

Chu Zhou smiled and said, "The secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple are indeed good, but the reason I can fight against Yan Xiuyuan is mainly because I have other tricks."

"Secret technique?"

"That's it."

“Even so, it’s still remarkable.”

As he said this, he emphasized his tone and said, "That's a martial arts master!"

"So, old drunkard, are you regretting this? Back then, I offered you an olive branch."

“I…” Feng Yan opened his mouth, but he was still like a deflated ball, and said weakly: “Okay, okay, I won’t be stubborn anymore. If I knew that your Xuanzhen Temple secret martial arts was so strong and powerful, I would have changed my cultivation even if I had to beg you to do it!

Now, now, ah..."

Chu Zhou said: "It's too late now!"

"I know it, I know it, when people get old, they are useless."

Seeing that Feng Yan was about to burst into tears, Chu Zhou hurriedly said: "It's too late, it's a little late, you can break through to the Xiantian realm first, and when you become Xiantian, your physique and lifespan will increase.

Then try my Xuanzhen Temple secret martial arts. It’s hard to say whether it will work or not. You will know after practice.”

"You make it sound like breaking through the realm of innateness is a piece of cake. If... wait, what do you mean?"

The old drunkard finally reacted, looked up at Chu Zhou, and asked again: "What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is, I will help you break through the innate realm and become an innate warrior. As for Xuanzhen Temple martial arts, you can try to learn it later if you want."

"Really?"

"Have I ever lied to you?"

Feng Yan is an old hand after all. In his excitement, he turned his eyes slightly and asked, "Then what do you need me to do?"

Chu Zhou did not shy away from this and directly handed over the notice on the table: "I don't know if you know this news, take a look first."

Feng Yan took it and just glanced at it, then his eyes widened and he looked at Chu Zhou: "Xuanzhen Temple is already so powerful that it actually replaced Wenxiang Temple?"

"It's just a replacement of a name."

"The name alone is impressive. This is a notice issued in the name of Tyrant Sect." The old drunkard praised and asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"I'm not satisfied with just taking over a title. I also want the old members of the Wenxiang Temple. So, I want you to be famous and find the survivors of that battle.

You can tell them that Wenxiang Temple is gone, but my Xuanzhen Temple will take them in. "

After a pause, Chu Zhou continued, "Of course, the disciples of Wenxiang Temple before were of varying quality, and you have to inform them for me. I don't care what happened before, but once you really enter my Xuanzhen Temple, you have to abide by the rules of my Xuanzhen Temple.

Otherwise, I won’t be any easier to talk to than Zhou Wu.”

"I'll take this mission!"

The old drunkard Feng Yan agreed readily and added: "So, helping me to enter the Xiantian realm is the reward for this mission."

Chu Zhou shook his head: "Two different things. I helped you enter the Xiantian realm because we have a good relationship and it is also necessary for the development of Xuanzhen Temple.

As for this mission, I think it is more appropriate for you to accept it."

"I like what you said. Okay, I'll go back and contact someone."

"it is good!"

The drunkard old man Feng Yan left, happily and energetically restored. Then, Wei Jinkui came.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

"Uncle, I'll have to trouble you to go to Anyue City."

As he spoke, Chu Zhou had already taken out a manual from his sleeve and handed it over.

Wei Jinkui took it, glanced at it, and said, "Wanxiangzhai?"

"Yes, Wanxiangzhai, if my guess is correct, they may have already arrived in Anyue City, or they may still be on the way.

I need Uncle Wei to find out the specific strength of Wanxiangzhai. It must be accurate to the approximate number of disciples, the number of innate warriors, the martial arts they are good at, and what special skills they have.

And, most importantly, is there a martial arts master in charge? "

Wei Jinkui asked, "Are you worried about the amazing strength of Wanxiangzhai?"

"Yes!"

Chu Zhou nodded and said, "To be recognized by Tyrant Sect and to have the confidence to be the dragon crossing the river and subdue the many sects in the Tianquan County martial arts world, you must have some strength."

"Since my Xuanzhen Temple has won the title of the number one sect in Tianquan County, we will inevitably have to face off against this fierce dragon that crosses the river. We must know ourselves and the enemy."

Wei Jinkui had already closed the manual and said, "I'll go right away."

"Uncle, safety first."

"understood."

Wei Jinkui also left, and at this point, the trivial matters had been almost dealt with.

Chu Zhou stood up and stretched his muscles a little, but he still looked a little restless.

The main reason was that there was such a huge wave of rewards waiting for him, which made him uneasy and he felt that time was passing too slowly.

It took him a full cup of tea to calm himself down. He returned to the solitary peak and used the 'Thirteen Guardians' Golden Body Technique' to exhaust his physical strength, practiced various techniques to consume his magic power and spirit, and finally used the 'Tianhe Body Refining Technique' to exhaust his energy. Finally, he was out of strength and waited until the sun went down.

After dinner, Chu Zhou climbed into bed early and practiced the "Inverted Sky River Method" according to the rules. After completing today's homework, he lay down on the bed comfortably.

Then, his soul floated up to the sky, touched the most glorious South Gate of Heaven, and received his reward in the Reception Hall.

　Second update, finally early today...
