Borrowing a sword

Chapter 180 Chu Huai's Preface: It Turns Out I'm a Heretic Cultivator
The main quest, "Original Spirit Realm," explicitly states that this dungeon has a chance to drop the item "Mysterious Origin Fragment."

This item was not listed as a mission reward.

In addition to 50 experience points, you will also receive 1 point of a specific attribute and a Heaven-level [Mysterious Treasure Chest].

In "Borrowing Swords", the so-called "mysterious treasure chest" is actually just a chest that you can open to randomly draw a special item or special reward.

Treasure chests are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow.

"The Heavenly Treasure Chest is guaranteed to contain good stuff!"

He's been playing "Borrowing Swords" for so long, and he's never won one.

"I did get a Tier 1 treasure chest, and I even got a Tier 1 spell upgrade voucher from it. I was so happy all night."

After closing the task interface, Chu Huaixu heard a voice transmission.

"Chu Huaixu, come out here for a moment."

Sixth Elder Li Chunsong stood in the courtyard waiting.

He pushed open the door and bowed, saying, "Sixth Elder."

The gambling addict is now unusually friendly whenever he sees him.

Like the old ox before him, he began to treat Chu Huaixu as his own nephew.

In a sense, it was his mistake that changed Chu Huaixu's fate and led him to the Daoist sect.

However, he used to lose every time he gambled, so wasn't Chu Huaixu also "defying fate" for him?
It can be said that they complemented each other.
"I am here on the orders of the sect leader and junior uncle."

"They plan to have you take on a few sect missions to slay demons before you enter the [Origin Spirit Realm], so you can get some experience," Li Chunsong said directly.

Chu Huaixu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Honestly, I didn't really want to go.

He is currently only at the Great Perfection of the First Realm, and most of the tasks he can take on are group missions.

All their killings could only kill some low-level evil cultivators.

Monsters of this level don't give a lot of experience points.

Moreover, these shadowy, reptilian beings are incredibly adept at hiding, much like rats, and are not easy to find.

Killing them is quick, but finding them is difficult and time-consuming.

He has plenty of other ways to gain experience points if he has that kind of free time.

For the disciples within the sect, this kind of sect mission is a good job.

After all, everyone needs to earn sect contribution points, and it can also be considered a form of training.

Some evil cultivators may possess some treasures, which can be considered spoils of war after killing them, and can also be seen as a way to make money.

But Chu Huaixu had the medicine cauldron in hand, so he didn't have to worry about contribution points at all.

Once he resolves the [Origin Spirit Realm], he can advance to the second realm. At that time, [Dao Sheng Yi] might be able to refine level two spirit pills on his own, making him even more profitable!

Therefore, he didn't try to hide it and appeared uninterested in front of Li Chunsong.

The six elders of the Taoist sect, seeing his demeanor, laughed and scolded:

"I know you might find it troublesome and feel that you don't need to do this kind of thing at this critical juncture, right?"

“I can tell you that the sect leader has actually considered things very carefully for you. There is a deeper reason why he wants you to go down the mountain to eliminate the demon.”

"A battle in the ring is completely different from a battle for life and death."

"Defeating an opponent and killing an opponent are two completely different things."

"You haven't killed anyone yet, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu was momentarily at a loss for words.

Adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble than to cause trouble," he felt that since he had never killed anyone, it was more reasonable for him to agree, so he nodded.

But he quickly asked, "So, in the [Origin Spirit Realm], people are supposed to kill?" "You're quite clever, kid, you thought of that right away," Li Chunsong said, quite pleased.

He continued, "We will inform you about the situation inside the [Origin Spirit Realm] once you return from your exorcism."

"You need to see what evil cultivators look like with your own eyes before you can understand what kind of beings you will encounter next."

As Chu Huaixu processed this information, he immediately realized something else: "So, all the evil cultivators in the world are related to the [Origin Spirit Realm]?"

Li Chunsong said, "You are very perceptive. From a certain perspective, there is indeed some connection."

"That place can be said to be the root of evil cultivation!"

"Alright, disciple understands. Disciple will go to the disciple's courtyard to choose a sect mission shortly," Chu Huaixu said.

Li Chunsong nodded in satisfaction.

After exchanging a few more words, he flew away.

Chu Huaixu stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

"From a certain perspective, is the [Original Spirit Realm] the root of evil cultivation?" he thought to himself.

"Why do you say that?" he asked, somewhat puzzled.

He was increasingly confused about what this mysterious place actually was.
"There are fragments of the Profound Origin there that relate to the Nine Realms Great Dao, somewhat similar to the power of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Besides that, it also concerns a great calamity for heaven and earth."

"Now it's even involved with heretical practitioners."

However, Chu Huaixu did not believe that the so-called great calamity of heaven and earth referred to evil cultivators.

Well, how should I put it?
They don't deserve it!
The evil cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm haven't developed to this stage.

"Perhaps this is because the ninth realm has never appeared among heretical cultivators!"

Based on the information he currently possesses, the secret of the [Origin Spirit Realm] has always been controlled by the four major sects and the Yue Kingdom royal family.

In other words, it seems that they have a monopoly on the [Fragments of the Primordial Origin]?
"Unless this stuff can be obtained from other places as well."

"Otherwise, apart from the four major sects and the Yue Kingdom royal family, there is no other force that can cultivate a ninth-realm expert."

"That's actually quite terrifying!"

"Basically, the strongest fighting force is controlled by these few major powers!"

"The other forces, no matter what, can't cause much trouble."

Chu Huaixu knew very well just how strong a cultivator in the Ninth Realm was.

A person like the current Sword Master, who can kill a Ninth Realm cultivator with the cultivation of the Eighth Realm peak, is one of the very few.

That is why he is considered comparable to the first generation of Sword Master.

"The further you progress in cultivation, the greater the difference becomes between each minor realm."

“Unlike the first realm, the gap between minor realms is actually quite small. The Great Perfection of the First Realm isn’t much stronger than the Eighth Heaven,” Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

As for evil cultivators, he actually killed quite a few when he played "Borrowing Swords".

The four major sects consider themselves leaders of the righteous path, and slaying demons and monsters is simply their duty.

The practitioners of Spring and Autumn Mountain are notorious for having many "abnormal" individuals.

Therefore, Chunqiu Mountain is quite proactive in its efforts to subdue demons.

Because if they didn't slay demons and monsters, they would look quite evil themselves.
Only by killing more villains can you prove that you only look like a villain, but are actually a hero!
"And one of the biggest characteristics of evil cultivators is that they can become stronger by killing people!" Chu Huaixu recalled.

Upon realizing this, he suddenly smiled.

because
"Me too," he thought.
