Just as he was speaking, a prompt suddenly popped up in front of his eyes: [Congratulations, you have triggered the “Human Crisis” branch task, please go to the Task Panel to check.]

Task triggered!

Su Nan’s eyes brightened, and this was the effect he wanted.

Without checking the task, there was no need to guess, he already knew what the task content was.

With the task issue resolved, it was time to get down to business.

Su Nan took out the ancient sacred weapon from his Personal Space and said, Senior, this is one of the ancient sacred weapons of Tianyun City.”

“Ancient Sacred Weapon!” The old man saw the object in Su Nan’s hand and instantly couldn’t sit still, immediately standing up and carefully taking it over. At the moment the old man took the sacred weapon, the task completion prompt popped up:

[Congratulations, you have completed the branch task “Escorting the Ancient Sacred Weapon to Zhongtian County”, 3000 contribution points have been issued]

A full three thousand contribution points were credited, Zhang Yang’s contribution had already reached more than twenty-four thousand points.

As long as the last task could earn another sixteen thousand points, it would be enough for forty thousand points.

The old man examined the sacred weapon for a while before regaining his senses and said, “Very good! Young friend, since you have escorted the sacred weapon, according to the regulations of the Great Yu Dynasty, you are qualified to enter my Demon Hunting Bureau’s Treasure Vault and choose an item as a reward.”

Finally!

Su Nan had been waiting for this moment.

However, as he heard about the reward, his brows furrowed again.

Players can use their Personal Space to discern the value of items.

Before him, several players had already delivered the sacred weapons, and if those people had also entered the Treasure Vault, wouldn’t it mean that some of the most valuable items in the Treasure Vault had already been taken away by them?

Was he left to eat the scraps?

Seeing his expression, the old man smiled and said, “Young friend, are you worried that the good things in my Demon Hunting Bureau’s Treasure Vault have been taken away by others?”

Don t worry, we know that you Outsiders have a certain ability to take in items through touch and discern their value.”

So my Great Yu Dynasty has a rule that anyone who enters the Treasure Vault cannot touch any items and can only rely on luck and discernment to choose.” Although there have already been eight Outsiders who have entered the Treasure Vault before you, the items taken away by those people can only be considered average, the real good things are still there.”

“I see.” Su Nan sighed with relief.

For others, being unable to touch the items could indeed only rely on luck, but he still had the ability to foresee the future.

However, thinking of the foreknowledge, he couldn’t help but feel helpless. Now that he is beset by bad luck, even with his foreknowledge, he may not be able to trigger Qi Luck, making it nearly impossible for him to find the truly valuable items.

“Senior, I need a Magic Ling Grass, I don’t know if there is any in the Treasure Vault?” Su Nan directly asked for what he needed.

“Magic Ling Grass?”

The old man was slightly puzzled and unsure why Su Nan wanted the Magic Ling Grass.

However, he didn’t ask further and just shook his head, “No.”

“No?”

Su Nan’s heart sank, and the last thing he wanted to see happened.

If even the Yu Dynasty’s Demon Hunting Bureau’s Treasure Vault didn’t have

it, he didn’t know where to find it next.

It seems I still have to go to Tiangong Pavilion and get information from there on where to obtain Magic Ling Grass.” Su Nan pondered.

Just as he was considering the Pavilion as his next destination, the old man laughed and said, “Young friend, don’t be disappointed. Though it’s not in the Treasure Vault, I do know that there is an old fellow in the Imperial City who has one.”

“It’s just that the old fellow is a miser, and it’s not easy to get something from his hands, but if you are willing to exchange an item-picking privilege with him, I might be able to help you.”

“An exchange? That would be perfect!” Su Nan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said, “Please help me with this, Senior.”

The old man nodded and said, “Young friend, you wait here, I’ll be back shortly.”

With that, the old man’s figure flickered and disappeared from the lobby.

About the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the old man returned with a palm ­sized grayish-white piece of grass in his hand.

Young friend, this is the Magic Ling Grass you want.”

Su Nan couldn’t wait to take it.

When the game prompt told him that this was the Magic Ling Grass, Su Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“With this, Wang Nan can breakthrough.”

Both the sacred weapon escort and the item he needed had been accomplished, the two most important things had been completed.

Next up were some less important matters.

Su Nan said, “Senior, last time I hunted dozens of demons, I wonder if those demons still have any demon-slaying points?”

The old man said, “Of course, as long as you are still a member of my Demon Hunting Bureau, hunting demons will earn you demon-slaying points.”

Although Tianyun City is gone now, you being a bureau chief of my Demon Hunting Bureau will not change, and nothing that should be given to you will be lost.”

That’s good.” Su Nan said, taking out all the demon corpses he had hunted last time as Zhang Yang.

A total of over sixty corpses, all Xuan Level Demons!

Last time, his task earned him more than sixteen thousand contribution points, but those two peak of Xuan Level Demon corpses he hunted at the end had not been collected due to time constraints, resulting in a considerable loss.

“Hiss! So many demon corpses!”

And they’re all Xuan Level Demons!”

Seeing the corpses Su Nan took out, the other members of the Demon Hunting Bureau present gasped in astonishment.

Even though they knew that Su Nan had killed a large number of demons last time, it was only hearsay, and seeing these numerous demon corpses with their own eyes was far more shocking.
