Xie Wule once again finished refining Qi. He could clearly feel that the glimmer of light in his upper dantian was getting brighter bit by bit every moment. With this process, the Qi that Xie Wule could control also became more and more.
In the past few days, all the Qi stones given by Zuo Yi have been used up. If he wants to save points, he has to complete the task.
Mission hall.
Xie Wule looked at the numerous subjugation missions on the taskbar and smiled helplessly. If he took them, most of them would be in vain.
Looking around, I suddenly saw an escort mission in the corner.
Mission: Escort the caravan to the Beast Mountains to collect medicines
Time limit: until the caravan leaves the Beast Mountain Range
Completion points: five hundred
Others: Only those with master level and above can receive it. When encountering uncontrollable external forces, he immediately abandons the mission and returns to the gang.
Five hundred points! This is the first time Xie Wule has seen a mission with so many points.
But if he fails, he will be deducted 250 points! This is something Xie Wule cannot afford. And we are going to the Beast Mountain Range...
Xie Wule hesitated again and again, but finally decided to take it.
I remember Elder Li said that escort missions usually employ multiple people to ensure safety. In other words, even if you encounter a spiritual beast, you may not need to contribute.
Elder Li hung up the task for Xie Wule, looked at the details of the task, and said: "At Mao o'clock tomorrow, we will meet the caravan at the gate of Luanshan City."
The next day.
Xie Wule arrived at the city gate half an hour early, and there were already five or six people waiting at the city gate again.
Seeing Xie Wule's arrival, a burly one-eyed man came over and asked, "Excuse me, the young hero is from the Longhu Gang."
Xie Wule nodded and said, "Yes, are you the Ping An Caravan?"
The one-eyed man confirmed Xie Wule's identity and replied: "Yes, I am the captain of the caravan, my surname is Dongfang."
"My surname is Xie."
The one-eyed man looked at Xie Wule and asked politely: "Dare you ask me about Xie's cultivation..."
"The genius reached the master realm a few days ago." Xie Wule didn't hide it. He thought that his cultivation level was not high. If he encountered a spiritual beast, he would ask someone with strong strength to deal with it first. Then he would have nothing to do and he could pocket the points with peace of mind. middle.
As soon as these words came out, the people behind the one-eyed man booed.
"I just arrived at the master realm a few days ago. Isn't it too weak?"
"I don't think it works."
"How about asking the captain to go to the Longhu Gang and ask for a stronger person?"
"Don't make any noise!" The one-eyed man turned around and glared at those people, who fell silent instantly.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, hero." The one-eyed man turned his head and smiled at Xie Wule: "My brothers don't have any ill intentions. It's just that there have been frequent migrations of beasts in the Beast Mountain Range recently, and the brothers are a little worried."
"I would also like to ask, has Shaoxia Xie ever entered the Beast Mountain Range?"
"I don't mind. After all, my strength is indeed very low." Xie Wule replied calmly: "As for the Beast Mountain Range, I have been there twice before during my mission."
After Xie Wule finished speaking, he turned to look at everyone in the Chamber of Commerce and said loudly: "Everyone has heard it, right? Sir Xie has never been to the Beast Mountain Range. Do you have any opinions?"
Everyone was silent.
Just as the one-eyed man was about to continue speaking, a tall and thin man with a hooked nose walked out, looked at Xie Wule and asked: "Then what mission did Hero Xie perform? What was the result? Who can't do it?"
"As for the mission, it was to conquer the spirit beasts, but both ended in failure." Xie Wule recalled the scene of carrying out the mission and smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes. I didn't encounter the spirit beast twice, and I was very frightened. "
There was dead silence in the air.
Xie Wule smiled helplessly. It seemed that people had a lot of opinions about him, but he didn't want to harm everyone because he was hiding something: "Why don't you all go to the Longhu Gang and ask for a replacement? Indeed, I will drag everyone back."
"Xie DaXia, what are you talking about?" The one-eyed man came back to his senses and waved. The hook-nosed man immediately stepped forward: "I'm sorry, Xie DaXia. I was too harsh. Please don't worry, Xie DaXia."
Others also came to express their apologies.
Xie Wule was confused. Why did the attitudes of these people change so quickly?
The one-eyed man laughed and said, "Do you remember those places you went to, Master Xie?"
Xie Wule also understood at this time that it is best to collect medicine without contact with spiritual beasts. Not only is it much safer, but it also saves time and effort: "Of course I remember, but I can't guarantee that there are no spiritual beasts now."
"It's okay. Let's try our luck first. If there is a spiritual beast, it won't be too late for us to think of a way to find it." The one-eyed man said, "Then please thank the hero for leading the way."
Xie Wule looked in front of him, and there were only six people including himself, and frowned: "Is there anyone else?"
"No more. Our Ping An Caravan has only been established a short time ago, and these are the only ones." The one-eyed man explained.
"Then you didn't hire anyone else?" Thinking of no one else, Xie Wule felt a little impetuous and annoyed in his heart. What should you do if you encounter a spirit animal?
"I also said that our caravan has just been established, so we can't afford to hire many people." The one-eyed man has been out for many years and is also a human being. At this moment, he can see Xie Wule's concerns: "But Xie Daxia, don't worry at all. None of our brothers know some kung fu. Although our strength is not as good as yours, we are still a fighting force. When we encounter low-level spiritual beasts, we can attack them without thanking you. If you are unlucky and encounter a group of beasts, you don’t have to worry about it. We, we have our own means of escape."
Xie Wule's brows did not loosen. The one-eyed man said again: "Thank you, hero, for leading the way."
Xie Wule looked at everyone and nodded for a moment: "Then come with me."
When everyone arrived at the border of the Beast Mountain Range, the sun had already risen into the sky.
Xie Wule looked at the dense forest ahead, took a deep breath, and pulled out his long sword: "Everyone, be careful and follow me." Although the one-eyed man said that you don't have to take action when you encounter low-level spiritual beasts, he can still be considered as taking it. When it comes to other people's money, at least the most basic things need to be done.
After hearing this, the five members of the Ping An Chamber of Commerce also took out their own weapons and followed Xie Wule with full energy.
The six of them entered the dense forest together.
"Brother, look at Bi Luogen!" one person exclaimed.
The one-eyed man was also full of joy, but he still said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please be quiet and collect the medicinal materials as soon as possible."
"There's still grass! There's no spiritual beast guarding it!"
"Golden Chrysanthemum!"
"Skeleton flower!"
.......
The five of them followed Xie Wule in the Beast Mountain Range, and were not attacked by spiritual beasts along the way. This made Xie Wule feel relieved.
From the reactions of everyone in the Chamber of Commerce, Xie Wule could also see that they were full of surprises and received a lot of goods along the way.
There are so many good things in these places? I didn't notice it at the time. Xie Wule muttered in his heart. This road is where Xie Wule passed by while searching for the Winged Snake a few days ago.
Although Xie Wule was a doctor, he never understood the pharmacology of the upper realm and could not recognize these medicinal materials. I have made up my mind that after I go back this time, I must go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and read more books about medicinal materials.
If Xie Wule said that he was not jealous, he would be lying.
He was also thinking, if I pick all these medicinal materials back, I don’t know how many points I can exchange for them.
But what is not yours is not yours after all.
"Xie Daxia, let's go back." The one-eyed man called Xie Wule who was standing beside him.
Xie Wule nodded and led everyone back the same way.
As soon as they came out of the dense forest, everyone was instantly relieved. Xie Wule found the one-eyed man: "President Dongfang, the escort mission has been completed. I wonder if you can give me the voucher? I can go back and resume my life."
The one-eyed man hooked Xie Wule's shoulder: "Xie Daxia, don't you have a drink with us before leaving? Today's harvest is all due to you."
"You think so, brothers?" the one-eyed man turned around and asked.
"Yes, without Xie DaXia, we don't know how many more days we would have to stay in the Beast Mountain Range!"
"Look, we even brought food for the night in the Beast Mountain Range." A fat man with big ears swung a big bag in his hand.
"Thank you, hero. This is just to express our apology for our rude words to you before! Just don't refuse." The hook-nosed man agreed.
"Let's go. The party is full tonight. We won't come back until we get drunk." The one-eyed man walked forward with Xie Wule on his arm.
Seeing that Xie Wule couldn't refuse and the voucher hadn't been obtained yet, he had no choice but to go together.
Xie Wule and others had already spent a lot of time in the Beast Mountain Range, and when they arrived, it was already the early morning of the second day.
After the food and wine were served, the one-eyed man gave Xie Wule the voucher and a piece of living grass.
"This is what brothers want to do together. Please thank me for not refusing."
Seeing the table full of food and wine, Xie Wule recalled that on the first day he came to Luanshan City, he had seen it on the streets and alleys and had seen the lights in this hotel.
It turns out that this meal is not as delicious as imagined.
"Come on, as the captain, I would like to thank you for a glass of wine first." The one-eyed man held up the wine glass.
Xie Wule didn't delay and drank it all in one gulp.
"Thank you, hero!" The hook-nosed man gave Xie Wule a thumbs up: "I would also like to thank you, hero, for a glass of wine. I apologize for my rude remarks today. Please also thank you, hero, for not remembering the faults of others."
"And I..."
...
Everyone exchanged glasses and drank wine and chatted happily.
The five people from the Ping An Chamber of Commerce talked about the past and the future. Their love was deep, and the five people hugged each other and cried.
Xie Wule played with the wine glass and watched and listened. I learned that the five of them grew up together, traveled together in these six places, and experienced many lives and deaths together.
Finally, I made a little money and established a small chamber of commerce. There were five brothers in the association. In order to reduce expenses, the five of them did all the work themselves. Although the business of the Chamber of Commerce is not large, with the concerted efforts of the five people, the situation of the Chamber of Commerce is improving every day.
Unexpectedly, an unexpected incident occurred. During a medicine collection, I encountered a herd of migrating animals. In order to save my life, I threw away all the medicines I finally collected. President Dongfang Cheng also lost his right eye in that accident.
Faced with the sudden change, the five people were at a loss. The failure of a mission left them owing a large amount of money to the recipient. During this period of time, it is too dangerous for people with their personal cultivation level to enter the Beast Mountain Range.
After repeated discussions, he decided to take the last gamble and take out the remaining sixty stones to hire someone to escort his caravan. If he failed, he would sell himself to the account keeper as a servant to pay off his debts.
All expectations are pinned on Xie Wule.
Xie Wule felt a little funny about this. How could he bear the expectations of the five of them? Fortunately, this is good luck.
Xie Wule took a sip of the wine in his glass, looked at the drunken five, and asked in a low voice: "You five are the most talented and perfect, why do you choose such a dangerous job? There are many spiritual beasts in the Beast Mountain Range, aren't you afraid? ?”
For a long time, no one responded. It seemed that everyone had fallen asleep.
Just as Xie Wule was about to stand up and leave, the one-eyed man sat up and met Xie Wule's eyes: "Afraid, why aren't you afraid? But what's the use of being afraid? Will spiritual beasts not attack you just because you are afraid?"
"To be honest, I almost fainted from fright when I saw the spirit beast for the first time. But when the five of us worked together to kill the spirit beast, I felt that this thing seemed to be just that."
"When I encounter it, I have only two options, either it dies or I die. When I think about it, half and half is very fair."
Saying this, the one-eyed man suddenly laughed at himself: "But the most important thing is that if you don't do it, you won't be able to survive, and you won't be able to support your wife, children, and children."
"I think of the smiles on my wife and children's faces when they see me every time I go home. No matter how scared I am, I have to bite the bullet. I don't want to let them down."
"Even if I don't come out one day, at least I will die fighting for them."
None of these five people have the ambition to be rich. They just want to be like the name of their chamber of commerce: Ping An!
"Really?" Xie Wule seemed to be asking the one-eyed man, as well as himself.
But no one answered him this time. The one-eyed man had already fallen asleep on the table.
"Is this all drunk talk? Or is it true?" Xie Wule asked again.
But what is the answer? The five people from the Ping An Chamber of Commerce have proven it to Xie Wule with actions.
"Buy it!" Xie Wule took out the Dragon Tiger Gang token.
"Okay!" The waiter took the token.
"This store is a branch of Longhu Bangbang, and everyone in Longhu Bangbang enjoys discounts. This time, 45 points will be deducted."
