The reward was snatched away instantly, and all the disciples were depressed.

Mo Hua, who "colluded" with Uncle Gu and successfully grabbed the reward, was in a happy mood and had a smile on his face.

He looked at the task items carefully again.

Wanted Bounty: Dragon Crossing the River.

In the middle stage of foundation building, he practiced sin cultivation and practiced the water-based skill "White Waves Technique". He is proficient in the nature of water and often lurks in rivers, sinking ships and killing people, and looks like a "water ghost".

The claw-like spiritual weapon used is of unknown origin. It is suspected to be a water-type spiritual weapon: the three shark claws, with water poison quenched on the claws.

Remember: this person's skills are stronger when exposed to water. If not necessary, do not fight with him in the water to avoid unexpected events.

There is a line of small print at the back:

"Trapped him with formations, captured him on the shore, without any trace of water, and then arrested him."

This line of text is added extra.

Mo Hua guessed that this was a reminder specially given to him by Uncle Gu.

After all, I was born in Tongxian City in Lizhou, adjacent to the Daheishan Mountains, so I had a mountain to rely on.

When we arrived at the border of Qianxue Prefecture, most of our comings and goings were in the mountains, and we rarely interacted with rivers and water system monks.

"Uncle Gu, although he has a cold face, as if someone owes him spiritual stones, he is still very considerate occasionally."

Mo Hua nodded.

In addition, there is a dossier attached to the reward:

The third day of March, Yanshui River.

Six traders took a boat to cross the river and reached the lower section of the Yanshui River. The boat capsized and the traders fell into the water.

One man was strangled and his throat was torn out by the monks in the water.

The blood-stained river water attracted a number of aquatic monsters, which bit and devoured the remaining people.

None of the six people survived.

Daotingsi judged based on the perpetrator's cultivation level, martial arts and weapon, that this person was most likely a criminal cultivator who had committed many evil deeds——

"The dragon crossing the river".

Mo Hua wrote down the key points in the dossier and prepared several water formations. He found Cheng Mo the next day and said straight to the point:

"There is a reward, 600 merit points, 120 merit points divided equally between each person."

Out of friendship, Mo Hua did not receive any kickbacks.

Cheng Mo and the others are pitiful. It's hard to earn even ten or twenty points of merit.

Mo Hua felt that as a "little senior brother", he should take care of these "little junior brothers".

"One hundred and twenty o'clock?!"

Cheng Mo opened his mouth wide, a little unbelievable.

It has been quite some time since he accepted a reward of more than 50 points.

Unexpectedly, the moment Mo Hua made his move, it was one hundred and twenty points!

Cheng Mo was shocked and curious, "Mo Hua, how did you get this reward?"

"Don't ask, I have my own way!"

Mo Hua raised his head slightly, with a reserved and calm look on his face.

In Cheng Mo's eyes, this look became more and more effortless and "unfathomable".

"Mo Hua, you are so tough backstage!"

Cheng Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Mo Hua was unhappy, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Oh, right." Cheng Mo immediately realized his mistake. It had nothing to do with the "backstage".

"It's you, little senior brother. You have great methods and strong connections!"

Cheng Mo praised.

He scanned the streets, looked at the gates, and accepted a lot of various rewards. He knew that rewards for high merit would be difficult to accept.

A group of fellow disciples stared at him, there were too many monks and not enough food.

There are also a group of senior brothers and sisters with higher cultivation, older qualifications and more experience competing with them.

For the sake of fairness, the sect's "merit" mechanism is relatively independent and not subject to other interference.

At Daotingsi, all official matters are done.

All means must be in order and in compliance with regulations, and there is no possibility of "favoritism".

But, ink painting!

After just one year of entry and early foundation building, he was able to surpass all the senior brothers and sisters, "seize the food from the wolf's mouth", and receive a reward of 600 merit points!

How many operations must be done behind the scenes...

How strong must be the relationship with Daotingsi...

Cheng Mo didn't even dare to think about it.

At this moment, he felt that Mo Hua's entire body was emitting a dazzling light.

"Senior brother, please eat chicken legs."

Cheng Mo immediately presented the "offering" - a chicken leg that was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, fat and fragrant, and came from the precious golden pheasant.

Mo Hua took the chicken leg with peace of mind and took a bite. The taste was fragrant and he was very satisfied.

However, he still reminded Cheng Mo:

"This reward is more dangerous, so you have to think about it carefully."

In the middle stage of foundation building, Cheng Mo and the others shouldn't have an easy time dealing with sin cultivators who are proficient in water-based skills and have sophisticated methods.

Cheng Mo said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on!"

One hundred and twenty points of merit!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Others who want to take this risk may not have the opportunity.

"Okay." Mo Hua nodded and said, "Then you, Situ and the others get ready. We will set off the day after tomorrow after ten days off."

"no problem!"

Cheng Mo agreed immediately.

…

Soon it was the tenth day break and after class, Mo Hua met Cheng Mo and the others at the disciples' residence.

There were five people in total, besides Mo Hua, there were also Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, Hao Xuan and Yang Qianjun.

Cheng Mo, Situ Jian and Hao Xuan, like Mo Hua, are all disciples of "Taiyi Ju". They live in a disciple's residence and attend classes together on weekdays.

All three of them have taken Mo Hua's formation class, so they all call Mo Hua "little senior brother".

Yang Qianjun is an exception. He is from "Taijiaju". He has never taken an ink painting class, and he does not call him "little senior brother" in ink painting.

However, he and Cheng Mo have a good relationship. During the last human trafficker incident, they fought side by side and lived and died together, and their friendship became even deeper.

Yang Qianjun himself is from the Yang family of the Taoist Army. He is an upright man and has good Taoist training.

Mo Hua has some friendship with the Yang family, so I took him with me on this mission.

As for Yi Li...

He is a pure spiritual practitioner. It is better for him to hit more people and less people. He can cast spells from a distance.

Once he was outnumbered and he was approached by the enemy, he was the first one to be knocked down.

So Yi Li listened to Mo Hua's suggestion and went to learn the magic to protect himself and escape, but Mo Hua didn't take him with him this time.

After the five people were ready, Mo Hua led the team and headed to the Yanshui River.

On the way, Mo Hua paid attention and told several people again.

Including the "Dragon Crossing the River"'s cultivation, skills, spiritual weapons, habits, usual methods of killing, etc.

Cheng Mo and others looked slightly solemn.

They usually accept rewards, but most of them are criminal cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, and not many in the middle stage of foundation building.

Even if there is, it is relatively weak.

Either he has just entered the middle stage and his cultivation is not deep, or his skills are not good, or his Taoism is mediocre, and he does not have the kind of sinful cultivation in the true sense that involves numerous evil deeds and killing people.

But "The Dragon Crossing the River" is different.
To be continued...
