Cao Ren thought, and a light blue virtual light screen appeared.
[Name: Cao Ren]
[Occupation: Sword Cultivator]
【Shouyuan: 18/99】
[Kung Fu: Xuantian Gong Small Success: 179/200]
[Realm: Sixth Level of Qi Training: 88/100]
[Basic professional skills:
Sword Qi Slash Mastery: 181/400
Drawing Sword Mastery: 278/400
Three non-sticks: 166/200]
[Professional talent: Kill monsters and explode equipment]
Yes, this is his greatest confidence in traveling to the Apocalypse Continent - a multi-professional panel.
As long as you practice, you can increase your experience points.
The experience points given by killing monsters are even higher.
He never pursues high-risk, high-reward missions, and only accepts simple missions to eliminate little demons near Wuhai Peak.
This world is too dangerous, and he likes this kind of stable happiness.
Just wait and develop slowly.
After settling the reward, a three-inch long black spike appeared in his palm, and he also got a message in his heart.
[Queen Bee Sting]:
After marking the target, the offensive magic weapon has a 100% hit rate. There is no spiritual power fluctuation during the casting process, making it difficult to be discovered. After hitting the target, it will cause stinging and itching (optional).
"It's a magic weapon, big or small." Cao Ren refined it with blood and put it in his sleeve.
Fighting monsters and exploding equipment are derived from professional talents and skills.
The technique is as its name suggests, unpretentious.
Not every magic weapon can be revealed. Most of the time, they are small things that look useful but are actually useless.
Of course, this may also be related to the fact that he was fighting little monsters.
Then Cao Ren began to clean the battlefield.
Sweep all the hornets together and set them on fire.
Then he dug out the hive from the ground, which weighed hundreds of kilograms. Cao Ren only left the part with the pupae and put it into a cloth bag, and threw the rest of the hive into the fire.
"The Immortal's cultivation is earth-shattering, and he eliminates harm for the people!"
"The immortal's magical power is unparalleled, wipe out the bee demon!"
A group of villagers suddenly appeared out of nowhere, playing gongs and drums, and boasting to Cao Ren.
"It is our duty as monks to eliminate harm for the people." Cao Ren cupped his hands and said with a smile.
The young man has handsome features and fluttering clothes, just like an immortal in heaven.
"This immortal is so good-looking!" The girls blushed and looked at him shyly.
"The bee demon has been eliminated and the nest has been destroyed. Let's say goodbye." Cao Ren picked up his pocket and turned to leave.
The villagers were even more surprised that the immortal had just walked out a few steps, but in the blink of an eye he had disappeared on the trail.
"After the foundation is established, I can fly with my sword. I think I will be more like an immortal." Cao Ren held the cloth bag in one hand and walked on the mountain path, rushing to the next location.
As what mortals call an immortal, he relies on the No. 11 bus to complete his tasks every day.
It's not that he was reluctant to buy a horse to travel, it was just that Wuhai City was built on the mountainside of Wuhai Peak. There were only a few hidden mountain roads that horses could not go up and down. There were usually mazes at the foot of the mountain to prevent ordinary people from going up the mountain for no reason.
So on weekdays, casual cultivators take orders and walk down the mountain to do their tasks.
As for the major cultivators above Foundation Establishment, they can fly gracefully with swords, or go out on flying mounts and flying boats, no matter if they break their legs.
Fortunately, Cao Ren's body was light and his walking on the rugged mountain road was as smooth as sliding on the ice.
[You use the three non-stick methods to travel for half an hour, and your experience value +1]
These three non-sticks are non-stick to soil, water and wood. The main thing is to enjoy silky smoothness on all terrains.
Next, Cao Ren went to two mission points, killed an early-stage first-level wild boar demon, and got rid of an incompetent hanged ghost, gaining some experience points.
The Pig Demon and the Hanged Ghost were too weak. They only exploded 1 spirit stone fragment each. Collecting five together can be exchanged for a low-grade spirit stone, which is better than nothing.
He sold the pig demon to a butcher, and for 3 taels of silver, he cut off a pig's trotters.
Cao Ren whittled a straight wooden stick, hung a black pig's trotters on one end, and a cloth bag filled with bee pupae on the other.
At sunset, he returned home with a full load.
Another fulfilling day.
"I got 8 contribution points today, one step closer to 300 points." Cao Ren looked at the direction of Wuhai Peak and thought in his mind.
Wuhai Peak is half hidden in the clouds and mist. It is a famous mountain in the northern border of Yue State. Wuhai City, as the Taiyi Sect's residence in the northern border of Yue State, is responsible for assisting the Yue State court in handling evil cases in the three states and twenty-four cities in the northern border.
There are many trivial incidents. Taiyi Sect is limited by manpower shortage, so it launches a task list.
Both casual cultivators and disciples of Taiyi Sect in Wuhai City can receive tasks. After completing them, they will receive corresponding spirit stone rewards and contribution points.
After the contribution points of the sect's handymen and casual cultivators accumulate to 300 points, they can get the Taiyi Sect outer disciple recruitment test.
The low-level casual cultivators accepted the mission in order to stay in Wuhai City, while the ambitious cultivators were already working hard to join the Taiyi Sect.
Cao Ren didn't have much ambition, but after becoming an outer disciple, Taiyi Sect gave him too much.
The salary of a sect's handyman is 20 low-grade spiritual stones, including accommodation but not food, and a full salary is counted as 30 spiritual stones.
As far as he knew, outer disciples could get 100 low-grade spiritual stones and 3 bottles of Qi Gathering Pills every month. The house was close to the center of the city.
That's a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill worth 10 spirit stones!
He could still figure out which one was more, 100 spiritual stones or 20 spiritual stones.
Originally a prodigal, he only got tired of those little ladies every day.
He is different.
He wants to improve so much.
I heard that Xuantian Sword Sect’s sword sword knocked on the heavenly gate, the leader of Xuankong Temple defeated the extraterrestrial demon with one finger, the saint of Jiuxiao Academy could follow his words, and the head of Taiyi Sect fought the nine-tailed demon fox alone for three days and three nights...
He was determined to practice hard from the first day he traveled through time. He didn't want to live another day without money.
Only money can give him a sense of security.
There are also spiritual stones.
Cao Ren's steps were light and he arrived at the foot of Wuhai Peak in a short time, ready to find a mountain path to go up the mountain.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
At this time, a hearty voice sounded from behind.
Cao Ren put his hand on the hilt of the sword and turned to look at the person who came. He was a tall young man wearing blue mysterious clothes, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The robe on his body is of great value, the long sword hanging on his waist is still inlaid with jade in the scabbard, and the hairpin is also filled with spiritual energy. There is also a clear sense of stupidity in his eyes. He is a young man who is not familiar with the world. .
"Xiao Yunzhan, I want to go up to Wuhai Peak, but I have been wandering at the foot of the mountain for more than half an hour and still can't find the way up the mountain. I see that my fellow Taoist is going up the mountain. I wonder if you can take me for a ride?" The young man stepped forward with a smile, but his personality was quite good. Open-minded and free-spirited, quite familiar.
"Cao Ren." Cao Ren also smiled and said: "There is a maze at the foot of Wuhai Peak Mountain, and the mountain path is narrow and difficult to find. It is not unusual for Brother Xiao to get lost when he comes here for the first time. Have you seen the big blue stone wall?"
Xiao Yunzhan looked in the direction of his finger, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked three steps and two steps at a time, saying at the same time: "Could it be that this stone wall is actually a blindfold, and as long as you pass through it, you will be on the way up the mountain? This stone is actually made of It’s so exquisite that I didn’t even notice it when I passed by it several times before…”
"Boom!"
"Ouch."
Cao Ren looked at Xiao Yunzhan, who had a swollen head, and suppressed his laughter. He continued: "I want you to remember that big bluestone. Walk a hundred feet to the right and there is a big locust tree. Turn left and go again. One hundred feet, then turn right for another thirty feet, and you will reach the entrance to the mountain."
"That's it." Xiao Yunzhan rubbed his forehead, but he wasn't annoyed at all. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I thought the Taiyi Sect's magic circle was so sophisticated, but I was reckless."
"Come with me." Cao Ren led the way.
Xiao Yunzhan followed quickly and caught a glimpse of Cao Ren's waistband, his eyes lit up: "Brother Cao is a disciple of Taiyi Sect? No wonder I think you are extraordinary and on par with me."
"Just a handyman." Cao Ren said calmly.
"The handyman is also a member of the Taiyi Sect." Xiao Yunzhan didn't take it seriously, but became more enthusiastic: "I came to Wuhai City just to enter the Taiyi Sect. Maybe we will still be brothers in the same sect in the future."
"If you think about it, I'll be the first to go in." Cao Ren looked at him: "You have to call me Senior Brother."
Xiao Yunzhan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. If I become an outer disciple first, you have to call me Senior Brother."
Cao Ren smiled and said nothing, this man was quite interesting.
"Brother Cao, what is he carrying on his shoulders? I see that there is a bit of evil spirit on these hoofs. What are you taking back?" Xiao Yunzhan could keep up with Cao Ren's faster and faster pace.
"This is the hooves of the black pig demon. Take it back and braise it to make a good dish. If you can't finish it, you can make it into bacon trotters."
"Brother Cao can also cook? I have killed some little monsters in the past, but I never thought that I can still eat them." Xiao Yunzhan was a little surprised, and quickly changed the topic and said: "I heard that Wuhai City's Xiu can take on tasks from the Taiyi Sect, and after completing a certain number of tasks, he can get the chance to get started. Is this true?"
"The mission list of Wuhai City..."
Xiao Yunzhan asked questions about the Wuhai City mission list, and Cao Ren didn't hide anything and patiently answered them one by one.
It can be seen that he also wants to improve.
Both of them were extremely fast and reached the outside of Wuhai City in a quarter of an hour.
Wuhai City was built on the mountainside of Wuhai Peak. The gentle slope was changed into a large piece of flat land, and a small city was built. There were eight Taiyimen servants guarding the city gate.
"Wuhai City, I, Xiao Yunzhan, am here!"
Xiao Yunzhan looked up at the ancient city gate, put his hands on his hips, and shouted with great energy.
Passers-by looked sideways.
Cao Ren took two quick steps, and he had to bear too much pressure with such a conspicuous double move.
"Brother Cao." Xiao Yunzhan quickly followed, but was stopped by the handyman with his hand.
"Take a look at the pass."
"Pass?" Xiao Yunzhan was a little confused, "This is my first time here."
"Then hand over the spirit stone to get one." The servants stared at Xiao Yunzhan, as if they were looking at someone who was taken advantage of.
Cao Ren turned back, looked at the servants and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Xiaoyun Zhan. A senior asked me to take him up the mountain. The pass will be available when he chooses a house."
"Cao Ren, okay." Hong Tashan, the handyman leading the team, nodded and signaled for release. Then he approached Cao Ren and asked in a low voice, "Which senior in the sect is he?"
Cao Ren also whispered: "Young masters like them don't want people to know their family background when they go out for training, but I will give you a nice word for you, senior."
Hong Tashan looked at Xiao Yunzhan, who was wearing a high-end robe and carrying a jade-encrusted sword on his waist. He quickly raised his hands and said, "I understand, I understand. Thank you so much, Brother Cao."
"You're welcome." Cao Ren also bowed his hands and led Xiao Yunzhan into the city.
"Brother Cao just said that a senior asked you to take me up the mountain?" Xiao Yunzhan asked in confusion.
"It's a random excuse, otherwise you wouldn't be able to enter the city gate today without ten spiritual stones." Cao Ren smiled and said, "But don't let it slip."
"That's it. Thank you, Brother Cao." Xiao Yunzhan quickly said with his hands in hand.
"You have just arrived in Wuhai City. You need to rent a place to stay before you can stay in the city." Cao Ren stopped and said, "You are new here. How about I take you to have a look?"
"That's great!" Xiao Yunzhan's eyes lit up, and he said a little embarrassedly: "I just want to trouble Brother Cao too much."
"It doesn't matter, you and I are destined to be together." Cao Ren waved his hand and led Xiao Yunzhan towards the center of the city. He first submitted the task and then took him to see the house.
"Although this courtyard is nice, it's too big for me to live alone. Brother Cao, let's look at other places."
"This single-family house is quite nice, and the floor heating is quite comfortable, but I don't really like the hot spring pool in the yard."
"This wooden house is quite exquisite, and the scenery is unique. But the birds and animals outside the window are a bit noisy, and I am a light sleeper."
…
After looking at five or six houses in different locations and prices, Cao Ren refused to leave. He looked at Xiao Yunzhan and said, "Brother Xiao, what price do you want to rent? I'll just take you there."
Xiao Yunzhan rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "Brother Cao, how much is the monthly rent for the cheapest house in Wuhai City?"
"Puning Street, 10 low-grade spiritual stones."
"Okay, I'll live there!" Xiao Yunzhan agreed immediately.
Cao Ren finally couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, let's go, I happen to be responsible for that area."
"What a coincidence?" Xiao Yunzhan followed.
According to the rules of Wuhai City, when a handyman rents a house, he can get a commission of 10% of the monthly rent.
The monthly rent for the courtyard house in the center of the city was as high as 300 spirit stones, but Cao Ren still looked up to him.
But even if he rents it on Puning Street, Cao Ren can still get a low-grade spirit stone, which is pretty good if he beats a monster.
"This is the only house left on Puning Street. I have no choice. But it seems to meet your requirements. The house is not big, there is no pond at the door, and there are no birds and animals outside the window." Cao Ren and Xiao Yunzhan stopped in front of a stone house. , smiled and said: "By the way, I live next door."
