Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Chapter 118 Mandatory Task

"Fellow Daoist Wang is well."

The monk surnamed Yan smiled and took the initiative to hand over.

Although Wang Ba was a little disappointed, he quickly adjusted.

A smile appeared on his face: "Fellow Daoist Yan is here to replace the soul chicken, right? He hasn't been here for some days recently..."

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the smiling face of the monk surnamed Yan, hesitatingly said: "That... no, I am here to ask Wang Fellow Daoist for a favor."

"help?"

Wang Ba was a little confused and hesitated, but for the sake of regular customers, he still said politely:

"Yan, what kind of help does Fellow Daoist need from me? Let me tell you first. I'm just a little monk raising chickens, and my ability is limited. If I can't help, please ask Fellow Daoist."

"Don't dare, Fellow Daoist is too modest."

The monk surnamed Yan was polite, and then said helplessly: "Fellow Daoist should know that Xuanfu Dao held a competition for inheriting talismans before, and I also participated."

"Inherited magic talisman...is there such a thing? It started half a year ago, right? Isn't it over yet?"

Wang Ba thought for a moment and finally remembered.

It is said that a Gold Core elder from Xuanfu Dao went out and died, leaving only one inheritance spirit talisman, so Xuanfu Dao announced to hold a spirit talisman competition meeting, and I heard that many talisman masters participated.

The monk surnamed Yan shook his head:

"It's not over yet, but it's coming soon. I barely made it into the top eight... It's a pity that I don't have enough cultivation to refine the Rank Two talisman. Otherwise, in terms of talisman-making skills, those people..."

As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh and hurt himself.

Wang Ba looked surprised, but even more puzzled:

"This... I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but Fellow Daoist's cultivation is not enough, so he should go to the elixir store to buy elixirs."

"I know it, but... I have no choice but to be short of money!"

The monk surnamed Yan looked embarrassed:

"To be honest, I've been busy practicing and competing for places recently, and I really don't have time to make talismans and sell them... I just want to borrow some spirit stones from Fellow Daoist."

"About five hundred Low Grade spiritual stones will suffice."

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, no matter whether I can get the inheritance talisman or not, it will definitely be returned to Fellow Daoist within three years at most."

"Borrowing spiritual stones?"

Wang Ba couldn't help but frown slightly.

The Yan Fellow Daoist's request made him both surprised and helpless.

Surprisingly, although the Talisman Master is not as wealthy as the Alchemist or the Forger, it is actually easier to save money than the average monk.

The monk named Yan's talisman-making skills are even more outstanding, so he shouldn't be in such embarrassment.

But thinking about how much money the monk surnamed Yan spent on buying soul chickens, Wang Ba can understand.

Unfortunately, he was destined to be unable to help with this task.

Five hundred spiritual stones, he really didn't have that many in his hands.

At that moment he could only shake his head and said:

"Yan Fellow Daoist, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I also lack spirit stones myself. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer monks who come to replace or buy spirit chickens..."

The monk surnamed Yan immediately looked disappointed when he heard this, forced a smile, raised his hand and said:

"So, I'm sorry to bother you..."

After saying that, he turned around and left sadly.

"etc."

Wang Ba suddenly stopped the other party. Under the doubtful eyes of the monk surnamed Yan, he took out two Middle Grade spiritual stones from the storage bag and handed them to the other party.

"This... Fellow Daoist, this is..."

The monk surnamed Yan looked at Wang Ba with surprise and confusion, but did not accept it.

"During the last transaction, I didn't know the market changes, but the Fellow Daoist didn't deceive me, and still exchanged with me at the market price. This is rare. These two spirit stones are the only accumulation I have left, so I gave them to the Fellow Daoist , and I wish Fellow Daoist a successful start and soar into the sky."

Wang Ba said sincerely.

This was not a polite comment, but what he said from the bottom of his heart.

The act of sending spiritual stones was also the result of his careful consideration.

After three years of trading, he can roughly tell what kind of person he is and what kind of temperament he has.

The monk surnamed Yan was a kind man. Even when he was proud before, he was not like Lin Yu who became so powerful once he gained power.

Such a person, who also has outstanding talisman-making skills, is still worth investing in.

And if he hadn’t told Wang Ba about the ‘spiritual chef’ without concealment, most of the Low Grade soul chickens in the chicken farm would have been wasted.

Wang Ba's cultivation progress may be much slower than it is now.

After all, Wang Ba reluctantly accepted his love.

In addition, the two Middle Grade spirit stones are not of much value to him for the time being, so it is most suitable to use them as favors.

The monk surnamed Yan had a complicated look on his face when he heard this.

There is both gratitude and exclamation.

When he was trading at that time, he never thought about it so much. He just used to calculate according to the market price.

But I didn't expect that this King, Fellow Daoist, would always remember that even though he was cautious about his money, he would still give generously.

Wang Fellow Daoist is a person worth getting to know deeply!

And Wang Ba said that the business has deteriorated, and he has no doubts. As far as he knows, people around him have switched to magic arts one after another. Law, the business of the chicken farm will naturally not be good.

Thinking of this, the monk surnamed Yan took the spirit stone, looked upright and solemnly bowed to Wang Ba.

Wang Ba quickly turned sideways to receive it.

Soon, the monk surnamed Yan drove away with the Law Weapon.

…

Dongsheng is stationed in Zuodao Monk Square City.

Wang Ba stood on the second floor of the teahouse, holding a steaming cup of 'Questioning Heart Tea' in his hand, and looked down at the hurried monks below.

"Why don't you take on a mission, reach the fifth-level authority as soon as possible, and complete two recruitments, you can officially become a disciple in the sect, isn't it better than you are now?"

Yu Changchun's voice sounded behind Wang Ba.

Wang Ba turned around and looked at Yu Changchun, who had only a few pupils left on his face, with a look of helplessness on his face:

"I am ashamed to say that I have never dared to fight against others, let alone fight. When I conquered Jingyue Palace last time, I didn't dare to fight at all."

When Yu Changchun heard this, he immediately shook his head and said:

"Fellow Daoist, the road to becoming an immortal is impossible if you don't have the means to do so."

"It is the fate of a monk to contend with humans and heaven!"

"Besides, instead of being curbed, the incense fire outside is getting more and more intense. Even if you have the intention to avoid it, you will inevitably have to go through it."

When Wang Ba heard this, his expression suddenly became heavier.

Changchun didn't need to remind Changchun about this matter, he was also aware of it.

The reason is that the tasks related to the Incense Road in the Tianmen Order have not decreased as time goes by, but have increased in number.

It takes almost no guesswork to know what this means.

Obviously, the power of Incense Dao exceeds the imagination of some monks in the sect.

And through Wang Ba's understanding in Fangshi these days, he knew that it was the monks of the Incense Tao who took action against them.

Not surprisingly, these people should be the ones who peeked into the "Yin Shen Great Dream Sutra".

Therefore, Wang Ba was even more reluctant to leave Dongsheng Station.

Naturally, he has no interest in taking on free tasks from the Tianmen Order.

But these words cannot be said to Changchun.

When Yu Changchun saw that Wang Ba didn't speak, he didn't care and whispered:

"When I came out of seclusion this time, I finally reconciled the three elements of spirit, energy, and spirit, and I also got a glimpse of the opportunity of the Foundation Building. Considering that it may take a long or short time to pass the Foundation Building, if it delays your affairs, it's okay. beautiful."

"That's why I came out specially. After taking care of the matter, I will go back to retreat."

Wang Ba was startled when he heard this, then he showed surprise and cupped his hands and said:

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist! Fellow Daoist has finally reached this point."

Yu Changchun waved his hands, his face was blurry, and he couldn't see any emotion. He just said:

"It hasn't been successful yet. It's too early to say this. I will ask my junior brother to send you chicken feed regularly. In addition..."

His tone was a little warmer:

"How good is this year's Black Crystal Peach Spirit Wine?"

Wang Ba shook his head apologetically and said, "It hasn't been long since it was buried. It will take a few more months to heal."

"Yeah, that's a pity."

There was a hint of regret in Yu Changchun's tone.

He immediately handed a transmission note to Wang Ba.

Wang Ba looked confused.

"This is Master Uncle Bai Yu's transmission note. If you have anything very important, you can contact him, but remember, don't disturb him unless it's extremely necessary."

Yu Changchun warned.

Hearing this, Wang Ba glanced at Yu Changchun in surprise, and then solemnly accepted the transmission talisman.

Yu Changchun nodded slightly when he saw this, and said in a casual tone:

"In this way, I can concentrate on passing the level!"

“I wish Fellow Daoist to attain enlightenment soon.”

This time, Wang Ba comes from the heart.

After the two said goodbye, Wang Ba felt a little irritable for some reason.

Stroll back to Lingshui courtyard.

His eyes glanced at the crack in the door of a training room, and he was slightly disappointed when he saw that the door was still closed.

Soon he was ready to go back to his room.

As soon as the door was opened, the small door of the training room next to it was suddenly pushed open.

Wang Ba looked back subconsciously.

He only saw a familiar figure standing in front of the door, looking at him with a hint of surprise and a hint of surprise.

"Senior brother."

"You, you're waiting for me?"

For some reason, the moment he saw Bu Chan, the inexplicable anxiety in Wang Ba's heart suddenly disappeared.

The smile comes out naturally:

"Um."

"You, uh...how is your practice going?"

Upon hearing this, Bu Chan's face, originally full of surprise and expectation, suddenly collapsed.

He curled his lips and said: "It's not bad, it's a breakthrough."

However, she soon returned to her smile and shared her joy and feelings about breaking into the fourth level of Qi Refining with Wang Ba.

Wang Ba listened quietly, sometimes smiling from the bottom of his heart.

The two of them stood at the door of the training room, separated by the flower pond at the door, chatting until dark, as if they had not seen each other for a long time.

It wasn't until the sky was filled with stars that the two of them looked at each other and smiled, then they went back to their houses.

Only this time, Wang Ba in the training room felt inexplicably peaceful.

…

Jiantao station.

In a palace behind the mountain gate.

The palace is full of shelves filled with various files, jade slips, and tokens.

More than a dozen monks in red and black robes were walking back and forth among them.

From time to time, the monks' voices could be heard.

"On the 20th of July in the Guichou Year, the 10th mission was completed!"

"On September 3rd of the Guichou year, mission number 250 is completed!"

"Guichou Nian... failed!"

And on a futon deep in the palace, a young Taoist with eyes as deep as stars was making calculations.

Beside, a monk in black with a blurred face gently put down the jade slip in his hand.

This person is none other than Lu Yuansheng, the deacon in charge of the Tianmen Sect.

He looked at the young Taoist priest on the futon and said:

"Elder Bei, the Incense Road is raging. Many mortal cities and Independent Cultivator cities outside the Eastern Saint's residence are already in ruins. What else do you have to hesitate?"

The young Taoist retracted his palm and shook his head slightly:

"There are probably remnants of the Dongsheng Sect lurking in the dark outside the Dongsheng Station. With this order, I am afraid that even if the incense path here can be destroyed, the remnants of the Dongsheng Sect will take advantage of it. It is really not worth the loss..."

When Lu Yuansheng heard this, he shook his head and said:

"Otherwise, how can we attract the remnants of the Dongsheng Sect to come out?"

Hearing this, the young Taoist glanced at Lu Yuansheng slightly moved, thought for a while, and finally nodded:

"Director Lu deserves to be valued by the leader, and he really has a great bearing. Anyway, this old man will play with Director Lu!"

After all, his mana surged, and his voice instantly spread throughout the palace.

"Everyone, listen to my order! Issue a mandatory mission!"

"Order all leftist monks to accept the task of exterminating the incense path. If the incense path is not eradicated, this compulsory task will continue for a day."

"Also, this mandatory mission ignores three chances, if you haven't accepted the mission within half a decade, kill!"
