The ancestor of talismans

The next morning.

A golden paper crane flew into Danxia Peak and came to Hu Tianyou's dojo.

The paper crane circled Hu Tianyou for a few times, then disintegrated and turned into a paragraph:

"Hu Daoyou, the employer has chosen you to make pills for him. Please wait at the post station in Pingyang Market at dusk today. Remember, bring your alchemy tools. Only you can come alone."

"Choose me to make pills."

Hearing this, Hu Tianyou was surprised, happy and surprised.

A few days ago, he heard that Wanbao Pavilion had issued a highly rewarded alchemy task, so he casually signed up.

When signing up, he found that there were a lot of people who signed up for this task, and many senior brothers' alchemy skills were better than his.

Therefore, Hu Tianyou did not hold much hope for this task, thinking that the employer would not choose him, but he never expected that he would really choose him.

"Let's go!"

Hu Tianyou was very active. He brought the tools for alchemy and rushed to Pingyang Market early in the morning.

The reason why he was so active was that Hu Tianyou was very poor and needed spiritual stones.

Although he had taken over Zhu Biao's task of guarding the four immortal herbs, he had only taken over this task for a few years and had not made any money yet.

Moreover, after he advanced to the foundation-building cultivator, he built a set of equipment including flying swords, defensive magic tools, and robes, all of which were borrowed from the sect at that time.

Now, Hu Tianyou has not yet paid off the loan from the sect, so he was naturally active when he received such a lucrative task.

Of course, Hu Tianyou's reward was still in Wanbao Pavilion at this time. After he completed the task and Wanbao Pavilion received the information from the employer that the task was completed, Hu Tianyou could get the money.

Along the way, Hu Tianyou hurried on his way and arrived at the post station in Pingyangfang City at noon.

At this time, there was still a long distance from the agreed dusk. Hu Tianyou frowned slightly and secretly blamed himself for coming too early.

Looking around, Hu Tianyou entered the gate of the post station.

"Oh, you are here, senior. Welcome, senior, please, please!"

"Yes!"

The waiter at the post station is also a cultivator. He respectfully led Hu Tianyou into the post station.

"Senior, do you want to have a meal or stay in the hotel?"

"Uh..."

Hu Tianyou hesitated for a moment when asked.

From now until dusk, there are still several hours. The best way is to ask for a room and rest for a few hours.

But staying in a hotel in Pingyangfang City costs money. Hu Tianyou is now in debt and reluctant to spend money.

Don't look at him as a foundation-building cultivator. On the surface, he is prosperous, but in fact, he lives a very poor and miserable life.

Forget about staying in a hotel. Now is a difficult period. When I pay off the loan, I can live however I want.

Thinking of this, Hu Tianyou casually said, "I won't stay in the hotel."

"Not staying in the hotel, you just want to have a meal?"

"Uh..."

Hu Tianyou looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "No meal."

One, no meal, two, no meal, what are you doing here?

The waiter at the post station looked at Hu Tianyou with a strange expression, of course, he dared not say what was in his heart.

Hu Tianyou understood the waiter's eyes, and felt a little embarrassed. He waved his sleeves and pretended to be calm and said: "I want to wait for someone, go, boil a pot of water."

"Yes, yes!"

Hu Tianyou found a quiet corner, and the waiter brought tea in a while.

He drank tea and waited quietly.

It was not until dusk, and the water was refilled three times, and the lungs were floating, but the person had not arrived.

"Waiter, bring me another pot of water."

"Okay!"

The waiter at the post station respectfully put the tea on the table.

After turning around, he couldn't help cursing.

What kind of thing is this? A great cultivator who has built a foundation has sat in the post station for an afternoon, and he didn't even spend a penny.

This is too stingy.

The tea at the post station is free.

Soon.

The sun sets in the west and night falls.

Hu Tianyou drank two more pots of water, but no one came.

When it was close to midnight, a faint voice suddenly sounded in Hu Tianyou's ears: "Senior Hu, I am here to pick you up on the orders of my master. Please move."

Here it comes.

Hu Tianyou was overjoyed and walked out of the door of the post station.

I saw a woman in white standing more than ten feet away from the door of the post station.

The woman had disheveled hair and a pale face as white as paper. She floated quietly in the air without touching the ground.

She looked like a ghost.

Hu Tianyou was startled. He never expected that the one who came to pick him up was actually a wandering soul.

After all, he was a great cultivator of foundation building. He quickly calmed down and said calmly: "Is it your master who asked me to make pills?"

"That's right!" said the ghost.

Is your master a human or a ghost?

Hu Tianyou looked at the ghost in confusion and was embarrassed to say this.

Normally, if he encountered a wandering soul, he would have killed it easily, but today was different. This wandering soul was related to the mission, so he had to be cautious.

At the same time, he probably figured it out. The reward for this mission was so high, so the employer was most likely not a human, but a ghost cultivator.

If it was a ghost cultivator, would he still need to refine the elixir? If he was a great foundation-building cultivator, how could he survive in the future if people knew that he was making elixir for a ghost?

No matter whether he was a human or a ghost, he only needed to refine the elixir. As long as he was paid, it didn't matter who he was refining the elixir for.

Hu Tianyou strengthened his belief.

In any case, he had to refine the elixir. This mission had to be completed.

If Hu Tianyou hadn't owed the sect a loan, he would have turned around and left when he encountered such a mission.

But at this moment, he was reluctant to leave, as the employer's reward was too generous.

Hu Tianyou gritted his teeth and said lightly: "Where is your master?"

"Please follow me."

After saying this, Pia turned and floated away.

This employer is too weird. Will it be dangerous? Should I go?

Hu Tianyou hesitated for a moment and did not chase him immediately.

"Senior Hu, my master said that if you don't want to make pills for him, he will never force you!"

After Pia said this, he floated farther and farther.

"Go!"

Hu Tianyou summoned his flying sword and quickly chased after Pia.

As he chased, Hu Tianyou was surprised to find that Pia's speed was very fast, so fast that it exceeded his normal cruising speed.

This wandering soul is not simple.

Hu Tianyou was somewhat awakened in his heart. If a wandering soul is so powerful, then the master behind him must be even more powerful.

Thinking of this, Hu Tianyou had some fear of the employer.

What he didn't know was that under the red tent, there were 100,000 wandering souls, and these 100,000 wandering souls had all kinds of tricks.

And this ghost was a speed-type player.

The speed of wandering souls was originally faster than that of human cultivators, and among the 100,000 wandering souls, the speed of ghosts was far ahead.

Such wandering souls, in the eyes of normal cultivators, of course, had terrifying speed.

Xu Changshou carefully arranged such a player to pick up Hu Tianyou, and there must be a purpose.

He wanted to give Hu Tianyou a warning, to make him feel that he was not easy to mess with, so that he would not have any bad thoughts.
