[Emergency! Emergency! Host is in vicinity of Yurian Gale. Host is in vicinity of Yurian Gale!]
My pupils dilated. I turned around instinctively, but it was soon obvious that he wasn't behind me. He could be above me, around me, or even right below me. But one thing was for sure. He was near me.
"Which floor are we on? How many floors does this tower have?" I asked.
"We are on the tenth floor. Out of fourteen total. This tenth floor is where all of the disciples from other sects are welcomed and introduced to their mission." Hulong Kin said.
"I see. And what about the floors above us? Who is above us and below us?" I asked.
"The floors above us are reserved for the alchemy elders. They are the elders who are Xiantian realm alchemists. They are alchemists with six clover leaves and higher." he said.
"And what about at the top? The master of the Pill Tower?" I asked.
"Of course not. You know that this Pill tower is just a branch, don't you? And the one on top of the tower is the branch leader of this Pill Tower. He is a great alchemist with an eight leaf clover!" Hulong Kin said with amazement and wonder in his eyes.
"I see. What is his name, I wonder? Forgive me, but I am not acquainted with this city as much as I am supposed to be." I smiled. For someone to be an important boss that I had to face, it had to be the head of the Pill Tower.
"The leader's name is Ga Yu." he replied.
"Ga Yu? So familiar, but it might just be a coincidence. But if I have to kill him, then I need to be able to fight with him. Everyone in the higher floors is above the Xiantian realm! I need to be able to fight with those people!" I sighed as I thought to myself.
"Is he in the tower right now?" Cai Lien, who was silent till now, asked.
"No, he is not." Hulong Kin shook his head.
"He isn't? Then he can't possibly be Yurian Gale. The message said that he was in my vicinity. I think he is someone who is below me." I thought.
"What about the people who are below us? More alchemists?" I asked.
"Yes, of course. The Pill Towers are the only places in the kingdom where you can find more alchemists than cultivators. Except when you are in the first floor." Hulong Kin smiled.
"I see. I see. And are these alchemists in the Nascent Soul Realm?"
"Some of them are. Most of them aren't. But we are wasting too much time here. The sun is coming down, and this is the time that bandits strike the hardest." Hulong Kin said.
"If the bandits strike now, why did you bring us here? You should take us to the place where all of this is happening, should you not?" I asked.
"Well, there are a few things that we need to prepare before all that is over." he smiled as he led us further into the floor.
There were desks everywhere, and there seemed to be some rush. I could see that there were a few sect disciples here, but I wasn't surprised. There had to be.
"Please take these two rings. They shall record the number of bandits that you kill. Once you reach the number two hundred between the two of you, then you will complete this mission." Hulong Kin handed out two rings to us.
I took one and let him hand the other to Cai Lien. I did not want to have anything weird going on when if I handed her a ring.
"I thought that the mission was the deal with bandits. Why is there a contribution system? Why not take care of the bandits directly?" Cai Lien asked.
"The bandit group that you are up against is the Black Bandana bandits. You might have heard about them in whatever your city you are from. Well, they are quite the nightmare. They are one of the biggest bandit groups ever to exist. And they are a pain to deal with. They have a Xiantian realm expert at the helm, and thousands of bandits in their midst. We can not eliminate them, so we deal with them slowly." Hulong Kin said.
"They have a Xiantian realm leader? What happens if he wants to come out then? How can we deal with him?"
"Then I can only blame you for your bad luck. That is all that I can say." Hulong Kin sighed. "I shall escort you out so that you can deal with them now."
"What about the contribution points? How do they work? One for every bandit that I kill?"
"One for every Foundation Establishment stage bandit that you kill, five for every Core Formation Expert, and none for Qi Condensation cannon fodder."
"Let us get going then. I think I have to go on a killing spree." I smiled.
"I must warn you. It is not going to be that easy. But one thing is for certain. You are new so you may not know it. The bandits are tough nuts to crack. After years of pillaging, the group has come into contact with multiple high end skill books. They are strong, and have a lot of fighting experience. That is what your sect informed us to tell the new disciples who come for this mission." Hulong Kin said.
"Thank you for your advice then." I smiled.
We walked to the teleportation array that took us to the tenth floor. It was interesting to look at, to say the least. We were about to get in, when someone ran to stop us.
"Wait! You are not allowed to leave! No one on the top ten floors is allowed to leave. There is an enemy among us!"
