Lin Yu watched an old man appear from the empty corner, and he couldn't help but become wary:
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The old man smiled, but did not answer Lin Yu's question.
"The technique you used just now was the Nine Transformations Divine Fist?"
"You answer my questions first, and then I'll tell you based on the situation."
The old man smiled and shook his head when he heard this:
"Hey, you little kid, you are quite alert. I am one of the four elders of Qiushui Pavilion and I am also Wen Ziran's teacher."
When Lin Yu heard this, although his body was no longer tense, he was still a little wary:
"How do you prove that you are Wen Ziran's teacher?"
The old man rolled his eyes and took out a purple token with a lotus engraved on it from his arms. Lin Yu relaxed completely when he saw the token, because he had seen this kind of mark on Wen Ziran before, but Wen Ziran's token was blue.
"I don't know if Senior is here to visit, but what's the matter?"
"Hey, I just heard that my disciple has made a new friend, so I came here to have a look. But don't change the subject. Did you just use the Nine Transformations Divine Fist?"
Lin Yu felt something was wrong, but his tricks were seen through at a glance. After hesitating for a moment, he accepted it.
"But it was given by Lord Wanfu in Bitian City?"
"Exactly!"
"That old thing is really nothing. I don't know how to change the prize after so many years. However, this Nine Transformations Divine Fist is quite mysterious, and ordinary people cannot exert the power described in the technique. If the joints can be found, It’s quite a good technique.”
"By the way, I forgot about the reward Ziran prepared for you."
After saying that, he took out a wooden box covered with black cloth from nowhere, handed it to Lin Yu, then jumped into the sky and disappeared into the sky, leaving a confused Lin Yu standing there.
"Reward? What reward? Could it be the reward for asking me to protect Lu Yibai?"
Lin Yu thought for a while and decided to put down the wooden box. After all, it was an entrustment from a friend, and he had not done it himself. How embarrassed was he to collect the reward, so he planned to wait for Wen Ziran to finish the work before returning it to him.
At night, Lin Yu returned the box to Wen Ziran.
"Brother Wen, I'm already very embarrassed because I didn't send Lu Yibai back to Yaotian City. I definitely can't accept this reward."
Wen Ziran was stunned:
"Brother Lin, did you meet an old man who claimed to be the elder of Qiushui Pavilion, and he also said he was my master?"
"yes."
Wen Ziran said with a wry smile:
"Oh, that is indeed my master, but what's in this box is not a reward, but the Four Holy Orders."
Four Holy Orders? Lin Yu was a little confused:
"What are the Four Holy Orders?"
"Do you remember the four dangerous places I mentioned back then?"
"You mean, Sword Cleansing Valley, Hualong Pond, Ten Thousand Snake Cave, and Yizhi Peak?"
"Yes, there are actually people stationed outside these four dangerous places. Only with these four holy orders can we be qualified to go to the four dangerous places to find opportunities."
"That's not possible. This thing is too valuable. How can I, Lin Yu, possess these Four Holy Orders?"
Wen Ziran glanced at Lin Yu strangely:
"I thought that Brother Lin, you would know these things after shopping for a day, but I didn't expect that you are still a little unclear."
Lin Yu suddenly thought of the girl who had been fighting against others in the morning. Without her interruption, he would have learned more about the ceremony. However, it was convenient to listen to Wen Ziran’s explanation at the moment.
"These Four Holy Orders are temporarily distributed by the organizer to the contestants. Because some tasks can only be completed by entering the four dangerous places, with this in mind, the Four Holy Orders are issued to each contestant. As for saying that this is a reward, I'm afraid It was my master, the old kid, who made this move to test our friendship."
Lin Yu was a little helpless, and Wen Ziran added
"Lin Yu, don't be angry. That's what he is like. He is testing this and that every day. We Qiushui Pavilion disciples privately call him 'The Test Master'."
Lin Yu put the token into the gourd, said goodbye and went back to his room.
The next few days passed with Lin Yu's non-stop practice.
"The heaven-sacrifice ceremony and the arena competition begin!"
"Contestants can go to the mission tower to register with their Four Holy Orders and receive missions."
Lin Yu looked at the mission tower, which was similar in size to the Prince's Pavilion, and sighed in his heart at the city lord's wealth.
"Lin Yu, do we want to make a bet?"
"How to bet?"
"You and I will fight each other. In the end, we will see who gets the most points by completing the task. The winner can make a request to the loser that is within his ability. How about that?"
Lin Yu also became interested after hearing this.
"Okay, but if you lose..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Wen Ziran rushing towards the mission tower, as if there was a great monk behind him who was preparing to take his sexual name.
Lin Yu shook his head and followed the crowd towards the mission tower.
Lin Yu picked up the token hanging on the wall:
"Go to Wanshe Cave to get 50 pieces of Yingtou snake gallbladder"
Lin Yu had also heard a little bit about the silver-headed snake. It was rumored that 10 adult snakes could make a red-level Dacheng monk never return. However, this kind of mission is only the difficulty of the mission on the first level of the mission tower. The difficulty of the mission in this arena competition can be seen clearly.
Lin Yu had just planned to put the token back, but then he thought that he could take on a few more difficult tasks related to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes and complete them together. In this way, the efficiency of earning points is also improved.
After careful selection, Lin Yu accepted a total of five low-level tasks and three intermediate tasks.
Low-level tasks are all about obtaining materials from snakes or finding specific herbs.
Intermediate tasks are some rare items that can only be produced in deeper areas.
Lin Yu accepted the mission and left the mission tower, heading towards the Ten Thousand Snake Cave that he had only learned about in the past few days. However, he didn't notice a familiar gaze in the tower staring at where he was going, and silently accepted the mission to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.
But he said that although the Ten Thousand Snake Cave is called a cave, it actually covers a very large area. Most of them are hilly terrain. However, there are extremely hidden snake caves on every mountain.
Lin Yu arrived at Ten Thousand Snake Cave, and after climbing over mountains and ridges, he finally found a group of Yingtou snakes.
"Three Fingers of Cold!" A cold air quickly spread over the fingers, and then a finger pointed out, and the bodies of several silver-headed snakes in front of them were twisted and intertwined in strange postures.
"This Ying-headed snake is not that good either. Apart from its numerical advantage, it has no impact on me."
When Lin Yu was killing everyone with his three cold fingers, the other side was washing the sword in the valley:
"call..."
Wen Ziran took a breath and shouted forward:
"Who are you! Why do you want to rob contestants everywhere!"
"Hey, hey, do you think I will tell you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly appeared from behind Wen Ziran, and struck Wen Ziran on the neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious. Then he called the surrounding guards, tied Wen Ziran onto the horse, and drove away.
