Chapter 387 Sun Star
[Ding! The system triggers a task, triggering three selection tasks. The host can choose one of them to complete the task! ]
A familiar voice suddenly rang out in Luo Shu's sea of consciousness, causing ripples in his calm mind.
Luo Shu was slightly stunned, then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly:
"System, I thought you were offline? After being silent for so long, you finally have a mission again?"
[Ding! This system is out to restock. I'll assign you a task as soon as I come back!] The system's voice seemed to carry a hint of pride.
Hearing this, Luo Shu couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head slightly and said jokingly:
"Haha, we've only sent out a few tasks and you're already so eager to go buy the goods? Your system is really poor. It can even drain your family's wealth!"
The system seemed to be irritated by Luo Shu's ridicule, and a hint of dissatisfaction was faintly revealed in the electronic sound. Then, a slightly chaotic "beep" sound rang out in Luo Shu's sea of consciousness, as if the system was expressing some kind of protest.
This sudden voice made Luo Shu couldn't help laughing. He smiled and shook his head, secretly complaining in his heart: "This guy really has a temper!"
The laughter gradually stopped, Luo Shu restrained his playful attitude and said seriously:
"Okay, system, stop being dissatisfied. Tell me about this mission. I want to see what good stuff you have brought me this time."
There was a hint of anticipation in his tone. After all, every task in the system came with different rewards.
[Ding! The task panel has been generated, please read it! ]
As the system's voice fell, Luo Shu felt a flash before his eyes, and then, lines of glittering text slowly flowed across the panel in his sea of consciousness like running water.
He looked carefully and saw three options listed on the task list:
[{Choice 1}: Wen Zhong goes to Jin'ao Island for help and brings his disciples to help at Jiepai Pass! {Reward}: Top-grade innate spiritual root - a branch of laurel tree! ]
[{Choice 2}: Go to the Netherworld Blood Sea and visit the Netherworld Ancestor, {Reward}: Top-grade innate spiritual root - Netherworld Fruit Tree! ]
[{Choice 3}: Leave Yufu Mountain and check in at the Sun Star! {Reward}: Top-grade innate spiritual root - Star Tree! ]
Luo Shu looked at the three tasks assigned by the system and compared them secretly in his mind.
"Task one. The task is not difficult, but the reward is a little disappointing."
Luo Shu only glanced at it and shook his head. He thought to himself, "Although the reward for Task 1 is tempting, it's just a branch of the laurel tree, which seems a bit stingy."
Although the laurel tree is a top-grade innate spiritual root, its branches contain endless vitality and moonlight power. For practitioners, it is undoubtedly the spiritual root they dream of.
However, compared to the rewards for Task 2 and Task 3, it can still be skipped directly.
What's more, Junior Brother Wen Zhong came to Jin'ao Island to seek help, he must have gone to see Master Jinling Shengmu. With Master here, the danger at Jiepai Pass can be easily resolved, I can ignore it for the time being."
Thinking of this, Luo Shu shook his head slightly and eliminated Task 1 from his mind. His eyes continued to slide down and landed on the second option.
"Task two, go to the Netherworld Blood Sea to visit the Styx Patriarch. This task is a bit challenging."
You know, the Netherworld Blood Sea is one of the most mysterious and dangerous places in the ancient world.
The ancestor of the Styx is the ruler among them, and his strength is unfathomable.
However, his life experience was full of legends and tragedies. Luo Shu couldn't help but think of various legends about the Styx Patriarch.
There is a saying passed down by the old man of the Styx in later generations, 'Always imitate, never surpass'.
It can be said that the ancestor of the Styx is a powerful man who is ambitious but has suffered repeated setbacks.
Once upon a time, Nuwa created human beings and became a saint because of her merits. The old man of the Styx was jealous and a raging fire burned in his heart. He also prepared to imitate Nuwa and create human beings.
However, what he didn't expect was that instead of creating humans, he created a group of Asuras with ugly men and beautiful women.
Although the power of merit was bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dao, it was far from enough to support his becoming a saint.
The unwilling Styx Patriarch did not give up. When the news came that the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West had established a religion and become saints, the fire of hope was rekindled in his heart.
He decided to follow the example of his predecessors and founded the Ashura religion in order to gain the recognition of the heaven and achieve the status of a saint. However, fate seemed to play a trick on him again.
Although the creation of the Ashura religion earned him the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, the merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao was even rarer than when the Ashura clan was created. The Styx Patriarch's path to becoming a saint ended in failure again.
After a series of operations, everyone in the prehistoric world also saw the joke twice.
Thinking of this, Luo Shu couldn't help but frown slightly. He knew very well that visiting the Styx Patriarch was not an easy task.
In that dark sea of blood, dangers are lurking on every side, and one could lose one's life if one is not careful.
What's more, the old man of the Styx is aloof and suspicious, so it is even more difficult to communicate with him.
However, the reward for Task 2 is somewhat tempting. It is the top-grade innate spiritual root - the Netherworld Fruit Tree, whose fruit contains endless power of death and vitality.
For those who practice Taoism, it is also a rare tool for cultivation.
Luo Shu's heart moved, but he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he turned his attention to the last option.
"Go to the Sun Star to check in. This task is simple! Moreover, the rewards are attractive." Luo Shu's gaze fell on the last option, and a hint of heat flashed in his eyes.
The best innate spiritual root - the star tree, feeds on the power of the stars and takes endless years to devour the stars in the sky before it can bear fruit.
The star fruit contains a trace of the star's essence. If you eat it, you can transform into a star body corresponding to the star, and can control and use the star's essence power.
Luo Shu couldn't help but feel excited. You know, during the Lich King Calamity, the Star Fruit contributed to the great star formation set up by the demon clan.
After careful consideration, Luo Shu finally made a decision. He took a deep breath and looked at the third option firmly:
"System, select Task 3 and go to the Sun Star to check in!"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for choosing Mission 3. Please go to the Sun Star as soon as possible to complete the punch-in mission! ]
As the system voice sounded, a prompt indicating that Task 3 was successfully selected was displayed on the system panel.
Immediately, Luo Shu summoned his disciples to the Cangqiong Palace to discuss matters.
A few streaks of light flashed by, and Yuan Hong, Yang Jian and others appeared outside the Cang Qiong Palace.
Before they could say anything, Luo Shu's voice came from the hall, "Come in!"
Upon hearing this, everyone walked into the Sky Palace.
In a moment, Yuan Hong and the others had arrived in front of Luo Shu. They bowed in unison, their voices filled with respect and awe:
"Disciple pays homage to Master!"
Luo Shu waved his hand gently, signaling them to stand up. Then, he glanced at Yuan Hong and others one by one, and said slowly:
"Master has something to do and needs to go to the Sun Star."
When everyone heard this, they all had a flash of surprise in their eyes. They didn't know why Master Luo Shu suddenly wanted to go to the Sun Star.
Luo Shu saw the doubts in the eyes of Yuan Hong and others, but didn't say much.
"During this period, if your uncle Wen Zhong comes here, tell him that I will be back soon. I will tell you what I have to say first."
"When I come back, you can just let me know."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Then, he gave a few simple instructions, and then Luo Shu took Xiao Bai to the Sun Star.
