After Flirting, He Ran Away And Was Chased By A Witch At The Beginning.

The next day.

Hall of Duties.

When Lu Bai walked into the hall, he immediately caused a small commotion.

Because of the previous Evil Cultivator incident, he gained a lot of respect and no one dared to underestimate him anymore.

"Junior Brother Lu, here to pick up a task?" someone greeted him.

"No, just taking a look." Lu Bai smiled and said, he didn't know the person.

"Brother, I just received a team task and we're still missing one member. Are you interested, Junior Brother Lu?"

Lu Bai was somewhat surprised.

Someone actually invited him to join a team!

It seems that his strength has been recognized to a certain extent.

"Sorry!" Lu Bai shook his head.

He wouldn't consider team tasks for now.

Because!

First, team tasks are difficult and dangerous, and he is still not competent enough.

Second, his cultivation level is not high, so even if he completes the task with others, the reward he would receive would be meager.

Third, he doesn't know the other person and is not willing to easily cooperate.

After being rejected, the person didn't get angry and nodded before leaving.

Lu Bai turned his gaze to the screen hanging above the hall.

It was a display screen constructed by Law Weapon, similar to LED screens in his previous life, scrolling various tasks.

The screen was not big, so it was impossible to display all the tasks. It only selected some representative ones.

Lu Bai mainly looked at the column for Middle Grade Level 1 tasks:

[Elixir Peak is out of stock of 'Moonlight Grass', double reward, unlimited quantity.]

Moonlight Grass only appears during the full moon and it runs around everywhere, making it difficult to catch.

Not considering it!

[Rouyue Sect's Qi Refining stage competition, looking for one witness.]

Rouyue Sect is one of the affiliated sects of Clear Heaven Sect. The identity of the witness requires certain qualifications and prestige, which Lu Bai believes he doesn't have.

Pass!

[There are Yin Spirits appearing in Jiyue City, subdue or kill them to receive fifty Low Grade Spirit Stones and ten sect contributions.]

Yin Spirits?

Those things are not easy to deal with. Without powerful martial techniques, it's easy to suffer losses.

Forget it!

...

Soon, half an hour passed, and Lu Bai had looked through all the available tasks, but none of them were suitable.

Unlike last time, he now considers the reward and cultivation aspects when accepting tasks.

If the two cannot be balanced, the latter is more important.

Only by improving his cultivation can he do more.

In the following days, Lu Bai stayed in the Hall of Duties.

But after several days of searching, he still didn't find anything satisfactory.

He decided not to come tomorrow.

At this time, a few people next to him were chatting, and their conversation caught his interest.

"Hey, have you heard? Mu Gaojie, the senior brother from Cangwu Peak, found a mysterious sand mine in the Jewel River Desert. The sect rewarded him with 500 sect contributions."

"Damn, his luck is really enviable!"

"Who says it's not! We've been working hard for half a year and only earned 172 points, but he earned several times that in just a few days."

"Jewel River Desert is truly a dream-seeking place."

"I can't take it anymore! I also want to take a mining task and try my luck."

"Count me in."

"And me."

Several people rushed to the task window as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Lu Bai recalled.

Jewel River Desert?

Oh! So that's where it is.

He remembered!

At the border of Xuanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jianzhou, there is a vast and boundless desert, possibly larger than the combined area of the three provinces.

The environment inside is harsh and dangerous, but it harbors endless wealth.

The most attractive thing is the minerals buried underground.

According to incomplete statistics, there are over three hundred types of artifact refining and alchemy materials that can be excavated from Jewel River Desert.

Among them, more than a dozen are specialties that cannot be found elsewhere.

Therefore, the Clear Heaven Sect, Jade Incense Sect, and Frost Moon Sword Sect have a large number of disciples searching inside at all times, making it a routine task for the three sects.

There are also many people from the affiliated sects under the three Great Saint sects who are stationed there.

Even people from the other seven provinces come over.

Jewel River Desert does not belong to any faction and is a resource shared by the entire human race.

There are many places like this in the mortal realm, distributed in various domains.

After listening to the conversation of those people, Lu Bai also felt excited.

Finding minerals is one aspect.

The most important thing is that on the north side of Jewel River Desert, near Jianzhou, there is a hunting area for demons, which excites Lu Bai.

After receiving the task, can he search for minerals while hunting demons?

After the battle with Su Yuner, Lu Bai tasted the wonderful taste of devouring the "Beast Core."

The Devour skill seems to have a unique advantage in devouring "Beast Cores."

He doesn't know if others are the same, but Lu Bai has verified that compared to Spirit Stones, elixirs, or other resources that can enhance cultivation, the absorption efficiency of Beast Cores is the highest.

He searched around and found that this is a task that can take care of both rewards and cultivation!

Finding minerals and gaining contribution points.

Hunting demons and cultivating with Devour Beast Cores.

Perfect!

However, before accepting the task, he still needs to get his master's permission.

...

"You want to go mining?"

"Finding minerals!" Lu Bai corrected.

"That's different!" Su Tingyu frowned.

Lu Bai was speechless. How is it different?

"Jewel River Desert is a place where dragons and snakes mix. You are only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, not even cannon fodder."

"Aren't there many fellow disciples there? There should be some care. Besides, everyone's goal is the minerals, so no one has the intention to fight."

"What if you find a priceless mineral deposit and someone happens to see it?"

"..." Lu Bai couldn't answer.

To give up is unwilling, but not giving up may lead to death.

"By the way! Will Lianruo go with you?" Su Tingyu suddenly thought of this.

"Uh, yes, she will." Lu Bai scratched his head.

"Then it's fine." Su Tingyu immediately changed her mind.

...

Walking on the way to the Duty Hall, Lu Bai thought, if his master knew that he lied to her, she would definitely break his legs, right?

The demoness is preparing for Core Formation, so she doesn't have time to accompany him.

But if he doesn't say it this way, his master will definitely not agree.

Forget it!

Just come back and coax her well.

Lu Bai arrived at the Duty Hall and went straight to the task window, quickly accepting a mining, no, mineral searching task.

After returning to Scarlet Firmament Peak and resting for a night, he set off the next day.
