Chapter 1260

When he arrived at the hall, Zi Chen didn't see Wade, so he could only look at the missions in person.

There were many missions in the hall. There were all kinds of missions, such as escorts, requests for purchases, and some team missions.

For example, a virtual realm team was to hunt a general-level beast, while a reality team was to explore a secret place and try to hunt a spirit-level beast.

There were also people who wanted to buy a certain spirit herb or a rare species …

There were many missions on the mission board. Zi Chen bypassed the virtual realm missions and went to the reality missions section.

Not long after Zi Chen arrived, Ling Xing heard the news and rushed over. "You want to take a mission."

Zi Chen turned around and saw Elder Ling. He bowed to the other party and then nodded.

"I told you, you don't have to care about those resources. If you need more, I can give you more. You don't have to take risks for resources. Just focus on improving your strength," said Elder Ling.

"It's not about resources. Resources are useless to me now. My cultivation seems to have reached a bottleneck. I need to go out and fight, and then find a solution. Of course, it's good to get some resources."

Seeing Zi Chen's determined eyes, Ling Xing nodded and stopped trying to dissuade him.

However, when he thought about Zi Chen's identity, he was still a little worried. He handed the hunting token to Zi Chen and said, "This is your hunting token."

Zi Chen accepted the hunting order. Ling Xing then handed Zi Chen a jade slip and said, "You can be considered one of my people now. This jade slip is for you. There is a seal of my power inside. It can resist the attack of a domain realm cultivator at a critical moment, but it can only be used three times at most. Take this jade slip to the Precious Artifact Pavilion. There will be people there who will arrange for you to go out and train."

Elder Ling was obviously concerned about his safety, so Zi Chen took the token and thanked him again.

He wanted to go out and hunt beasts. There was no point in looking at the missions here, so Zi Chen decided to go to the Treasure Pavilion immediately.

He still had tens of millions of resources on him, so he needed to go to the Treasure Pavilion to see if there was anything good.

After more than a year, Zi Chen left the Hunter's Castle.

However, as soon as he appeared, Zi Chen felt that someone was following him.

He hadn't sensed the other party's presence and had only relied on his perception. However, in this world, perception was sometimes more useful than spiritual thoughts.

"It's been more than a year. It seems that there are still people who haven't given up. They are really persistent." Zi Chen shook his head and walked straight to the Precious Weapon Pavilion.

When Zi Chen appeared in the Precious Tool Pavilion again, it caused a small commotion. Many service staff came forward and politely led Zi Chen in.

It was clear that after a year, not only did they not forget Zi Chen, but they also remembered Zi Chen even more deeply.

The elegance of that slash had long been rumored to be miraculous.

Among them, Xiaoli stood in front of Zi Chen excitedly. Every time Zi Chen looked at her, she would subconsciously avoid Zi Chen's eyes. At the same time, she appeared very flustered.

A year had passed, and Zi Chen was no longer who he used to be.

Just his status as a senior hunter was enough to allow him to live a better life than many Realms.

Finally, Xiaoli plucked up her courage and asked, "Sir, what do you want to buy?"

Zi Chen smiled and said, "Just call me Zi Chen. I'm not used to calling you sir."

The courage that Xiaoli had just plucked up dissipated in the face of Zi Chen's warm smile. She blushed and subconsciously lowered her head.

"Let me see what's here first." Zi Chen walked forward.

After a slight hesitation, Xiaoli followed him. As for the others, they tactfully dispersed.

Because he had weapons refined by the Cauldron Spirit, Zi Chen didn't need weapons. He walked directly to the place where medicinal pills were sold.

There were many types of medicinal pills. Some were used to recover energy, some were used to heal injuries, and some were used to expel special edicts.

Xiaoli stood beside Zi Chen. This time, she appeared very reserved.

"Oh right, apart from buying things, I'm also here to look for someone." As he spoke, Zi Chen took out the jade slip that Ling Lao had given him and showed it to Xiaoli.

Xiaoli said with a blank face, "Looking for someone."

She clearly didn't recognize the jade slip. But soon after, she said, "Wait a moment. I'll go look for Sister Hong."

Shang Guan Hong was in the pavilion. After hearing the news, she quickly arrived.

Shang Guan Hong was dressed in white as usual. A hint of surprise appeared on her beautiful face when she saw Zi Chen.

When she saw the jade slip in Zi Chen's hand, she asked, "Did Ling Lao ask you to come?"

Zi Chen nodded. He said with some surprise, "The person Ling Lao asked me to look for, it can't be you, right?"

Shang Guan Hong smiled and didn't say anything. She then took out a hunting token and showed it to Zi Chen.

"This …" The instant he saw the hunting token, Zi Chen's face was immediately filled with astonishment.

That was because it was also a Senior Hunter's token. Moreover, the most astonishing thing was that this token also had an imprint on it.

It could be said that this token was exactly the same as the one in Zi Chen's hand. The only difference was the names on the tokens.

"Why? Are you surprised to see a Senior Hunter's token? Don't think that you're the only one in Huping City." Shang Guan Hong's face had a rare trace of craftiness.

Zi Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm indeed a little surprised. This time, I plan to go out for training and kill some Spirit Level Battle Beasts. Ling Lao asked me to find you and ask you to arrange for me."

Hearing this, Shang Guan Hong looked at Zi Chen seriously and said, "It seems that Ling Lao takes good care of you. By the way, it's said that something big happened in the castle recently, but I couldn't find out anything about it. You should know about it, right? Or rather, it has something to do with you."

Zi Chen spread his hands and smiled helplessly.

Shang Guan Hong was a little unwilling. She looked around and said, "Okay, come with me first."

Shang Guan Hong brought Zi Chen to a room. There was a faint fragrance in the room, but it wasn't her boudoir. It was just an ordinary reception room.

"Okay, now tell me what happened." Shang Guan Hong asked curiously.

"I don't know." Zi Chen shook his head and said.

"You don't know?" Shang Guan Hong looked up and down at Zi Chen.

"I've been in seclusion all this time until I broke through yesterday." Zi Chen said.

"I don't believe it." Shang Guan Hong said.

"Why not?"

"Intuition, intuition." Shang Guan Hong reached out to Zi Chen and said, "Give it to me."

"What?"

"Token. Let me see your Hunting Token."

"This thing can't be casually shown to others."

"I just showed you mine. Why don't you show me yours? Besides, Ling Lao asked you to come here to prove that we're all on the same side. What's wrong with showing your own people?"

Helpless, Zi Chen took out the token and handed it to Shang Guan Hong.

The moment the other party saw the token, she saw the abnormality of the token. She looked at Zi Chen with a strange gaze. "You said it's none of your business. Then why did you leave a mark on the token?"

"What's so strange about that? Didn't you have it on your token too?"

Shang Guan Hong gritted her teeth. She seemed a little angry and said, "That's different. I left the mark when I was in the Corporeal Realm. But you only … Huh? What realm are you in now? Why can't I feel it?"

"Middle Virtual Realm. It's no big deal." Zi Chen released his own aura.

"Peak Virtual Realm Middle Virtual Realm. In just one year, you broke through the Middle Virtual Realm Middle Virtual Realm and even reached the peak. You still dare to say that what happened in the castle had nothing to do with you? Tell me, what happened?" Shang Guan Hong asked.

Zi Chen once again felt the terrifying sharpness of a woman's senses. However, since Shang Guan Hong, a senior hunter, didn't hear anything, it was obvious that what happened that day was a secret. Naturally, Zi Chen didn't want to show off.

He didn't want to cause trouble. The main reason was that he wasn't familiar with Shang Guan Hong. This was only the second time they had met.

Seeing that Zi Chen didn't want to talk, Shang Guan Hong was still a little depressed. However, she didn't pursue the matter. Instead, she said, "Since you're going to follow me out for training, I'll pick out some pills for you first. I originally wanted to give you a twenty percent discount, but I don't like your attitude. Forget about the discount."

Zi Chen spread his hands and smiled. He didn't bargain.

The current him wasn't lacking in resources. Moreover, this time, he still needed to sell some things. Because of the massacre last time, he still had more than a hundred spirit rings that he hadn't dealt with yet.

After clearing out the resources and selling the things that needed to be sold, Zi Chen had a huge amount of wealth on him.

Zi Chen purposely exchanged some Corporeal Realm fragments for Black Hawk and bought some pills. After that, he prepared to leave.

"You're going to leave now?" Shang Guan Hong asked curiously.

"What do you think?" Zi Chen said indifferently.

"Alright then." Shang Guan Hong hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Why? Do you have something to say?" Zi Chen asked curiously.

"It's nothing important. There will be an auction in Huping City in a few days. I want to go and take a look."

"Just to see."

"Of course. According to the news, there will be a Void Tree for auction. How can I afford that? Naturally, I just want to see."

"A Void Tree." Zi Chen was shocked.

The Void Tree was an Earthly Realm treasure. As long as one was in the Earthly Realm, they would be able to use it.

Zi Chen had a lot of wealth on him, and he had spent ten billion resources on this breakthrough. However, compared to the Void Tree, it was not even a drop in the ocean.

In the eyes of some cultivators, even Zi Chen's Heavenly Thunder Wings were not as valuable as a Void Tree.

"How about it? Are you interested in going and taking a look? Leave the entry to me," Shang Guan Hong said.

When Zi Chen heard this, he shook his head and said, "I can't afford that thing. What's the use even if I see it?"

"That's a Void Tree. It's always good to take a look," Shang Guan Hong said.

Zi Chen shook his head again and said, "What's so good about it? Isn't it just taking root in the void and absorbing the power of the void?"

Shang Guan Hong's eyes lit up and she asked, "You've seen a Void Tree before? Where is it?"

"In my previous world, it belongs to a friend of mine. Right, you should have a back door here, right? In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I suggest we leave through the back door."

"Why?"

"Because someone wants a great treasure on me. They waited for me outside the castle for a year and followed me here."

Shang Guan Hong thought about it and said, "Very well, come with me."

Zi Chen followed Shang Guan Hong out through the back door. During this time, Zi Chen changed his appearance. As for the so-called Void Tree, Zi Chen was truly not interested.
