Big dreamer

Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Shen Luo felt a little pity.

"In this case, I have to find another way, but I still have to thank Miss Ma." Shen Luo said, cupping his fists.

When Ma Xiuxiu heard this, she did not immediately respond to Shen Luo. Instead, she frowned and lowered her head to think about something.

"Miss Ma..."

Shen Luo waved to her, and then she came back to her senses and said with some hesitation:

"Actually, there is another way. It is possible to get that senior to be willing to help you make elixirs. I wonder if you are willing to try it?"

"What method?" Shen Luo asked quickly.

"Mr. Shen, have you ever heard of the underworld mission?" Ma Xiuxiu asked mysteriously.

"I've heard a little bit about it, what? The method you mentioned is related to the mission in the underworld?" Shen Luo was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"Yes. In order to refine a kind of underworld elixir, the senior alchemist has been looking for the underworld crystal, a special spiritual material of the Yin Division. Unfortunately, this thing is extremely valued by the Yin Division and rarely leaks out of the world, so it can't be found. If you can If you get this thing, the conditions for alchemy will be much easier to negotiate." Ma Xiuxiu nodded.

"Yellow Quan Crystal... Since it is so precious, I'm afraid it's not that easy to get, right?" Shen Luo pondered.

Based on his few previous experiences with the Charming Horse Face, Shen Luo knew that things from the Yin Division were not so easy to obtain.

"That's natural, but it just so happens that our Chamber of Commerce plans to take on an underworld mission recently, and the reward will be this Yellow Spring Crystal. If you are willing to go, I can arrange for you to participate in this mission as a member of the Chamber of Commerce." Ma Xiuxiu said.

"But I heard that if you want to take on the underworld mission, you have to be at least a soul-condensing monk? I'm afraid I'm not qualified with my meager skills, right?" Shen Luo said hesitantly.

"That's true, but this mission is a group action. As long as the leader has the Soul Condensation Stage, the level of cultivation is not a problem. The Bigu Stage is enough." Ma Xiuxiu said with a smile.

"Please also ask Miss Ma to tell you the details of the mission, so that I won't go there rashly and hinder the Chamber of Commerce." Shen Luo asked with a smile on his face and cupped his fists.

"Master Shen, don't belittle yourself. Generally speaking, most of the tasks in the underworld are related to destroying ghosts and evil spirits. Master Shen, you are proficient in talismans and have powerful thunder talismans by your side. Thinking about it this way, you are the best to perform this task." Candidate." Ma Xiuxiu waved to Shen Luo and said.

"So, Miss Ma has thought of it well for me." Shen Luo smiled and said.

"Having said that, I still want to remind you that this kind of mission is usually not easy, especially when the reward is so high this time. The ghosts to be killed are probably not easy either. You have to think twice before making a decision. Tomorrow Just give me an answer before the afternoon," Ma Xiuxiu said with a straight face.

"I took over this task." Shen Luo thought to himself for a moment and said.

"This task is still half a month away. You don't have to be too anxious to make a decision. There is still enough time." Ma Xiuxiu was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said with some surprise.

"I've thought about it and accepted it. Miss Ma has already thought so much about me. If I still hesitate, wouldn't I be letting down the girl's kindness." Shen Luo smiled and said decisively.

"Young Master Shen is indeed very courageous, but you don't have to worry too much this time. The person leading this mission is a soul-condensing late-stage worshiper from our chamber of commerce. He has done many underworld missions and has never failed in these years, and The battle loss rate of each mission is very low. As long as you strictly follow what he said, there will be no problem. In addition, I will ask him to take more care of you," Ma Xiuxiu said with a look of appreciation in his eyes. .

"Thank you very much." Shen Luo said, cupping his fists.

"Mr. Shen, you don't have to be so polite with me." Ma Xiuxiu smiled a little now.

After that, she said goodbye and left.

When it was approaching noon, Shen Luo also left the small courtyard and went to the West Market where there were many shops, purchasing a batch of talisman papers and various spiritual materials for making talisman ink.

He will use this half month to draw more talismans to cope with this underworld mission.

…

Time flies, half a month later.

In the early morning of that day, before Shen Luo could rush to the treasure gathering hall, a carriage arrived outside the small courtyard, saying that it was sent by Ma Xiuxiu to pick him up and gather him.

After Shen Luo packed up the talismans and instruments, he boarded the carriage and headed towards the west of the city.

The carriage passed through streets and cities along the way. The carriage walked for a long time. When passing by a tall square gate, Shen Luo raised the sedan curtain and took a look, only to find that he had arrived at Yongxing Square in the northwest of the city.

"How did you get here?" Shen Luo asked in confusion.

"The gathering place is in Yongxingfang. Don't worry, we'll be there soon." The driver explained.

Shen Luo originally thought that the task of catching ghosts would be to gather outside the city, but unexpectedly it was at Yongxingfang, which is close to the imperial city.

Heading north along the road in the square, the carriage finally stopped after a while.

Shen Luo jumped out of the car, looked up and saw a tall and majestic building standing not far in front of him. In front of him were two stone lions as tall as a man, which looked majestic.

"City God's Temple..."

Shen Luo looked at the plaque hanging on the lintel of the building and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Just as he was wondering, another carriage came from behind, and a tall man in short brown clothes stepped out, striding over with a giant brass ax behind him.

He walked up to him, glanced at Shen Luo, who was a head lower than him, and said angrily: "Are you here to gather too?"

Shen Luo took a look at the man and saw that he had a broad forehead, a low bridge of nose, and thick lips. He had a simple and honest look, and nodded without knowing why.

"Me too, let's go together." The tall man raised his hand and walked up the steps first.

Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, then followed up.

"My name is Lu He, what do you call me?" the man asked when he saw Shen Luo following him.

"Here is Shen Luo." Shen Luo said, cupping his fists.

"It seems like this is your first time participating in a mission?" Lu He looked at Shen Luo and asked again.

"This is my first time, and I'm asking fellow Taoist for advice." Shen Luo said.

"There's no point in giving any advice. It's only my third time participating. Anyway, I just need to follow Senior Hu Yong closely." Lu He said.

"Senior Hu Yong?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"Don't you know yet? Senior Hu Yong is leading the team this time. As long as you follow him honestly and obey his instructions, you won't lose your life easily." Lu He said with eyes full of conviction.

"Who is this senior Hu Yong and why is he so powerful?" Shen Luo asked in confusion.

"You don't have to ask so many questions. In short, the most important thing when doing tasks is not to be too smart and just follow the instructions of Senior Hu Yong." Lu He waved his hand impatiently and said.

While the two were talking, they stepped across the threshold one after another and entered the gate of the City God's Temple.
