Big dreamer

In just one month, he took advantage of the strong east wind of Charming Horse Face to complete six or seven tasks one after another. Most of them were ghosts in the inedia stage or above, and the number was often more than one, because it was relatively easy to get to the back. The task has been completed long ago, and the rest is naturally a tough nut to crack.

Although his cooperation with Charming Horse Face was relatively secretive, over time, some clues were naturally discovered, and rumors began to spread that he had a master behind him to help him, so he could always complete the task so smoothly.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. With his cultivation in the middle stage of Qi Refining, how could he really fight against many ghosts that far exceeded his own cultivation, so he did not give any explanation for this.

In any case, he was the one completing the task on the surface, and with such a high completion rate, Shen Luo's reputation spread not only throughout the Bai family, but also gradually became famous among the Lin and Du families.

…

In a study in the inner courtyard of the Bai Mansion, Bai Hecheng, who was wearing a navy blue robe, was sitting behind the desk, listening to Bai Jiangfeng's report with a solemn face, his brows frowning deeper and deeper.

"Master, the number of tasks completed by our Bai family has already steadily surpassed that of the Lin family and the Du family. No one of them can match us. It's just that the Lin family seems to have begun to spend a lot of money recently. I don't know where to spend the high prices. I borrowed a few casual cultivators to help me complete several tasks, which has greatly narrowed the gap between us," Bai Jiangfeng said, standing across the desk.

"When you look at the Lin family, you can't just look at it from a single perspective. The Du family has been secretly communicating with the Lin family over the years. I'm afraid they are wearing the same pair of trousers this time. We must beware of a complete alliance between the Du family and the Lin family and give away part of it. Give the merit points to the Lin family, otherwise we may be caught off guard when the time comes," Bai Hecheng said after thinking for a moment.

"What the head of the family said is true, and I am also worried about this. Those guests from the Du family only need to declare that they are working for the Lin family, and then all the merit points will fall into the Lin family's pockets and overtake our Bai family. That is not impossible. It's possible." Bai Jiangfeng said with deep understanding.

"Third uncle, if you continue with your instructions, we will also increase the remuneration and encourage the guests at home to do as much as possible and take on more tasks. In addition, I will also write a letter to Director Jiang of the Atomization Sect to see if I can invite him The elders are here to help," Baihecheng said after thinking for a moment.

"There are fewer and fewer tasks on the list, and we don't have much time left. I'm afraid the distant water cannot quench our thirst." Bai Jiangfeng responded, turned around and was about to leave.

"Is anyone from the Lin Du family responsible for the task of Hidden Wind Valley on the southern outskirts of the city?" Bai Hecheng stopped Bai Jiangfeng and asked suddenly.

"This mission is too dangerous. It ranks first in difficulty among all missions. The merit points recorded by the government are also the highest, which is almost equal to the total rewards of the following major missions. Although the Lin and Du families have intentions, they do not dare to take this risk. ." Bai Jiangfeng replied.

"As long as they can complete this task, even if the Lin and Du families join forces, it is impossible for them to gain more merit points than us, right?" Baihecheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Coupled with the tasks we have completed, they will no longer be able to win... Head of the family, do you plan to take over the Hidden Wind Valley task?" Bai Jiangfeng said hesitantly.

"No matter what, our Bai family cannot lose to the Lin family." Bai Hecheng said word for word.

"Master, the situation in Hidden Wind Valley is complicated. This task may not be easy to complete. I'm afraid there will be a lot of damage by then." Bai Jiangfeng said hesitantly.

"The government has created this ghost eradication task list this time. Firstly, it is to stabilize the situation that has become increasingly unstable recently. Secondly, it is also to see the background of each family in the city. The benefits of the winner are definitely not just what they see on the surface. So don't be afraid of losses, as long as you win, you will be able to make up for it," Bai Hecheng said.

"The head of the family is still thoughtful." Bai Jiangfeng nodded and said.

"Third Uncle's concerns are not unreasonable. We must plan carefully and minimize losses so that we can achieve greater results with our small efforts. Does Third Uncle have any ideas about the candidates to participate in this mission?" Bai Hecheng asked again.

Bai Jiangfeng thought for a moment and reported the names of several people. Baihecheng heard them and nodded in agreement.

"It's best to bring Shen Luo with you on this mission." At the end, Bai Jiangfeng said again.

"Shen Luo... I've also heard that he has performed very well recently. There must be someone behind the scenes helping him. After all, his own cultivation level is still a bit low. If he enters the Hidden Wind Valley, the risk of falling is not small." Bai He Cheng hesitated.

"The cultivation level of the person behind him is definitely not low. If he can help, it will be a great help for the trip to Hidden Wind Valley. As for safety, as long as he does not rush to the front to face the ghosts, with his talent and ability in the talisman line, You can protect yourself with that weird movement technique," Bai Jiangfeng said.

"If that's the case, we really have to let him take the risk. As for this mission, before it is actually implemented, keep a low profile as much as possible, just in case." Baihecheng said thoughtfully.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden "bang" sound outside the house. A thunderstorm that had been pressing on the city for half a day finally opened a hole and rained down.

In the small courtyard, Shen Luo looked at the white light flashing from time to time among the clouds in the sky, as if he were a hard-working old farmer staring at a golden field, his eyes full of joy.

The task he completed some time ago allowed him to earn a lot of fairy jade, and he also bought a lot of talismans and spiritual materials from the Lubao Hall. Due to the lack of thunder and rain, he could not draw the thunder talisman, so he could only keep trying. Draw other talismans.

In the end, he consumed more than twenty pieces of Ziyun Talisman paper before drawing a flying talisman, which made him feel pain for several days.

Today, he finally caught up with a thunderstorm, so he immediately took out the blue frost paper and brush and ink and began to draw the rising and falling thunder symbols.

I was busy until the evening, when the sky was getting dark, the thunderstorm stopped, and the work of drawing symbols stopped.

Of the seventy-two green frost talisman papers, nearly 60 were used, but only two thunder talismans were successfully drawn. In terms of success rate, it was much higher than before.

Although Shen Luo was almost paralyzed by exhaustion, he felt quite relieved in his heart.

Early in the morning two days later, Shen Luo was meditating and regulating his breath. Suddenly, he received a message from Ma Mian, asking him to meet outside the south gate of the city quickly. He neither mentioned the location nor the content of the task.

Although Shen Luo was full of suspicion, he had no choice but to stop practicing, left the Bai Mansion, and hurried to the south of the city.

As a result, as soon as he left, Bai Jiangfeng arrived at his small courtyard. He called out but no one answered. After asking the guards at the gate, he found out that Shen Luo had gone out.

Bai Jiangfeng originally came to inform him that he would set off with the team at noon tomorrow to perform a mission in the Hidden Wind Valley, but he didn't expect that Shen Luo had just left, so he missed the opportunity.
