Chapter 20 System Updates and Tasks
Since Zhang Lingyu arrived in this world, the intelligence system has been of great help to him, and now that new content has been added, he is naturally overjoyed.
They quickly began receiving new content.
After nearly an incense stick's time, Zhang Lingyu's smile grew even wider.
"This system is really great, it really understands my needs."
He exclaimed "Good!" three times. Although the system only added one piece of content this time, the help it provided was truly substantial.
In the past, once the intelligence was updated daily, it could not be retained, so it had to be written down in a book every day.
Although it was just a small matter, as his cultivation level increased, the time he spent in seclusion for cultivation also became longer.
During the Qi Refining stage, one might only have a few days or a dozen days to break through in seclusion. What about after Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul?
Which old monster in the cultivation world doesn't spend decades in seclusion to cultivate?
If Zhang Lingyu can reach that level in the future, then he will have no way of knowing a lot of information during his seclusion, and naturally, he will not be able to get any opportunities.
The update to the intelligence system allows users to view daily intelligence updates and even use intelligence points to obtain more detailed information.
Zhang Lingyu was very satisfied and then opened the intelligence system to check it.
"As expected, I can see all the daily news since I came to this world."
"With this feature, not only will it free up our hands, but it will also help us avoid many risks. Hmm, let's take a look at the information updated during our seclusion."
[Level 1 Intelligence: Today, a rogue cultivator in Yingchuan County obtained the inheritance of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Bone Forest and is preparing to go to Shuiyun Ravine to cultivate. The cultivator's cultivation level is relatively low, so it is advisable to intercept and seize the inheritance.]
[Level 1 Intelligence: Today, Ming Haifeng, a cultivator from the Ming family in Yingchuan County, broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining and is preparing to go to the Crimson Fire Essence Mine to support the family. If you wish to go, please proceed with caution.]
[Level 1 Intelligence: Today, Zhang Lingqiao, a cultivator from the Zhang family in Xiaohe Village, Qingshi Town, fought a fierce battle with a ghost. He was defeated and returned severely injured. All the mortals in Xiaohe Village were devoured. If you wish to go there, please proceed with caution.]
"The Ming family has gained a new cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining."
Although late-stage Qi Refining cultivators cannot change the overall battle situation, they will cause more casualties among the Zhang family cultivators. Zhang Lingyu secretly made a mental note of this, and when she saw the third piece of information, she was stunned.
"Sister Qiao'er actually failed to kill that ghost? And she's seriously injured herself!"
He quickly looked at the date of the message, which showed it was five days ago.
"Sister Qiao'er is seriously injured and will definitely send a message to the family. However, the family is currently short-handed and may not be able to spare any people to help."
Zhang Lingyu saw this intelligence before she went into seclusion. With Zhang Lingqiao's strength at the fifth level of Qi Refining, killing a ghost should not be a problem. Now it seems that the ghost has become quite powerful.
Fortunately, this clan elder sister had some skills; otherwise, she might have perished on the spot.
"Um?"
After reading the intelligence, the jade pendant at his waist suddenly became warm.
"My thirteenth uncle is looking for me. I wonder what it's about."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Lingyu's expression changed slightly. Without hesitation, he opened the door to the secret chamber and walked towards the main hall.
.....
Inside the main hall, Zhang Xinghao, dressed in a black robe, had a gloomy expression, making his already ferocious face even more terrifying. Beside him was a middle-aged man with an equally unpleasant expression.
After waiting a while, a slight smile finally appeared on his face when he saw Zhang Lingyu emerge from the secret chamber: "Little Nineteen, congratulations!"
"Uncle Thirteen did a good job cultivating him!"
The young man bowed and then noticed the middle-aged man standing next to him.
This person is Zhang Xingfeng, the sixteenth in the "Xing" generation of the Zhang family.
Zhang Lingyu quickly bowed to his sixteenth uncle: "Lingyu greets Sixteenth Uncle."
He hadn't seen Zhang Xingfeng many times. This man's cultivation had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. He had been guarding Biyue Town for many years. However, due to their different duties, he was responsible for patrolling the border of Zhang Jiaming's family.
If he joins the patrol team in the future, he will work under them.
Now that even Zhang Xingfeng has come, Zhang Lingyu secretly thought to herself, "Could something really have happened on the border?"
"Lingyu, I summoned you here because I have a task for you."
Zhang Xinghao acted swiftly and decisively, getting straight to the point, and said in a deep voice:
"You've just broken through, so I shouldn't disturb you while you're consolidating your cultivation. But this mission is urgent, and we don't have many people available, so I had no choice but to call you here."
"Uncle Thirteen, please speak."
Zhang Lingyu nodded solemnly, and then listened to the man continue:
"Yesterday, the family reported that some ghosts have been causing trouble in Qing Shi Town recently. We sent your fourteenth sister to deal with them. With her fifth level of Qi Refining cultivation, there should have been no problem."
"Who knew there was more than one ghost? While your cousin was fighting the first one, another one suddenly rushed out and severely injured her. If it weren't for the methods given to her by the family, she probably would have died on the spot!"
"Speak of the devil and he shall appear."
As soon as Zhang Lingyu heard about Qing Shi Town, he understood what was going on. Right now, Zhang Xinghao meant to send him and Zhang Xingfeng to eliminate those two ghosts.
Zhang Xingfeng, who was standing nearby, added:
"Fortunately, Lingqiao was not damaged. He then sent a message to the family. Since they could not spare many people, the family asked Thirteenth Brother to send people to provide support."
"According to Lingqiao, the ghost that injured her was equivalent to the sixth level of Qi Refining. If it hadn't been a sudden attack, she wouldn't have been so seriously injured."
"good."
Zhang Xinghao nodded:
"I cannot act rashly right now, and Ling An and the others cannot go to their duties. The reason I am sending you and your sixteenth uncle is to completely annihilate the ghost in one fell swoop."
After listening, Zhang Lingyu understood. Now that all the mortals in Xiaohe Village had been devoured by the ghost, it wouldn't cause trouble for a while. But once its strength increased, the entire Qing Shi Town might not be able to be saved.
We'll have to train Qi to take action later.
While ordinary people don't pose much of a combat threat to cultivators, the chances of spiritual apertures appearing increase as the population grows.
Half of the cultivators in the Zhang family were born of mortals, and wasn't Zhang Lingyu himself one of them?
The more mortals are killed or injured, the fewer cultivators the Zhang family will have, which is something no power can tolerate.
After listening, Zhang Lingyu did not refuse: "Lingyu will follow Uncle Thirteen's arrangements!"
"good!"
Zhang Xinghao nodded. He knew about the battle in the Chaotic Stone Forest. This junior also had the strength to fight against someone of the same level. Now that Zhang Xingfeng was going with him, he felt much more at ease.
However, he still took out a few talismans from his storage bag and instructed them:
"This is a calming talisman. Ghosts are adept at bewitching the mind; you must be careful!"
"Lingyu, your sixteenth uncle is more experienced. You must stay by his side at all times. If you can't win, your life and safety are more important!"
"I understand!"
Zhang Lingyu reached out and put away the talisman. He would naturally cherish his own life, then looked at Zhang Xingfeng and asked:
"Uncle Sixteen, when do we set off?"
Zhang Xingfeng only said:
"Qingshi Town isn't far from here, about half a day's journey. Pack your things, we'll set off in half an hour!"
