Chapter 74 Wang's House
Chapter 74 Wang's House (Please Order)
Tian Lin was not surprised that the sect would offer a reward of spirit stones for issuing a mission.
As long as the Blood Cult becomes more and more powerful, the sect will inevitably order the disciples to go out and kill the enemy in order to maintain stability in its jurisdiction.
But if you just issue an edict without promising any benefits to the disciples in the sect, who would be willing to go?
The sect wants to mobilize the enthusiasm of these disciples, but pressure alone is not enough, so it can only offer a reward.
At noon, Tian Lin ate his meal and took out a dagger to shave off the beard on his chin.
He simply changed his clothes and finally went to the "Ghost Market" with a knife in hand.
When the Yaoyue Sect is not open for business, the so-called ghost market is always idle.
This time, the mission was launched and the idle ghost market was utilized.
This was Tian Lin’s second time entering the ghost market valley. In the somewhat empty valley, only one shop seemed bustling at this time.
Tian Lin remembered that this shop was originally the Wang family's shop, but the signboard had been changed and only a piece of cloth was used as a cover with the words "Sign Room" written on it.
When he entered the signing room, he discovered that there were quite a few outer disciples there, which were rarely seen.
All these people were gathered around a wall, and opposite the wall was a L-shaped counter, behind which sat a middle-aged man who looked familiar to Tian Lin.
Of course Tian Lin recognized that this was Zhuang Buzhou, the head disciple of Yaofeng, a powerful man who had reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
At that time, he ate the spiritual clam pearl and accidentally used the wind-walking technique to get to the medicine peak, and also accidentally broke into Zhuang Buzhou's vegetable garden.
Fortunately, Liu Yunjiu was there at the time and Tian Lin was not punished by him.
Now that Liu Yunjiu has gone to Quzhou to fight for his life, Zhuang Buzhou is still in the clan, which makes Tian Lin somewhat surprised.
"You are at the second level of Qi Refining, and you are here to take on a mission?"
A voice sounded, and Tian Lin knew it was Han Yue without turning around.
Sure enough, Han Yue was still wearing her green dress and holding a wooden sign in her hand.
Tian Lin glanced at the wooden sign in Han Yue's hand and explained, "I have now reached the third level of Qi Refining, so I want to try to go out and earn spirit stones."
“The level of cultivation does not represent a person’s strength—if you practice low-grade spells, even if you are at the fourth level of Qi Refining, you may not be able to defeat someone at the second level of Qi Refining who practices middle-grade spells;
Or maybe you are at the fourth level of Qi Refining and have a magic weapon that can fight against the Foundation Establishment Ancestor, then the twelfth level of Qi Refining may not be your opponent. "
She had seen Tian Lin climb the mountain and knew that Tian Lin had a hard time climbing even the first stone step.
It is foreseeable how weak Tian Lin’s combat effectiveness is.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Han, for reminding me. I don't dare to be too ambitious. I just want to pick up some easy tasks and earn some spiritual stones to make a living."
As soon as Tian Lin finished speaking, an outer disciple beside him laughed and said:
"You're late. Where are the easy tasks now? The only tasks left are those that are dangerous and difficult to do."
The man was not mocking Tian Lin, because he himself was one of the people who arrived late.
Tian Lin looked at the wall and followed into the crowd.
He scanned the wooden signs on the wall, and his eyes finally fell on the four words "Lin'an County".
Someone noticed Tian Lin's gaze and said to him:
"This mission is not easy. First, Lin'an County is crowded with people, and it is not easy to find the demon Taoist who committed the crime in the county town of Lin'an County. Secondly, it is unclear how many Blood Cult demon Taoists there are in the county town and what their cultivation is. Most importantly, if the Blood Cult demon Taoist does not take action, we cannot tell whether he is a Blood Cult demon Taoist or not."
Tian Lin's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the entry in the illusion when he killed Manager Qiao and those red-robed men.
In the illusion, when the demon of the Blood Cult bleeds, the term "Hemostatic Powder" will be displayed on its blood.
As for normal people - at least Qi Refiners below the Foundation Establishment Patriarch, Tian Lin had never seen anyone use the three words "Hemostasis Powder" when bleeding.
"Haha, dangerous and difficult? It has come to this point, it's not your turn to be picky."
As he spoke, a big hand pulled the token off.
Tian Lin looked at the person who came and found it was Qian Ping.
But at this moment Qian Ping did not look at Tian Lin, but just said to a few outer disciples:
"No matter whether you can complete the mission or not, take it first, so that it won't be snatched away by others later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Buzhou behind the counter said coldly: "Once you accept the task, you must complete it. If you fail to complete the task, you will be punished according to the sect rules."
Qian Ping's face changed when he heard that, his lips trembled, and he looked weak and helpless.
At this time, Zhuang Buzhou changed the subject again: "This task has a reward of ten spirit stones. If you can't do it alone, you can ask for help."
Qian Ping's expression looked better now. He forced a smile, looked at the outer disciples around him and said:
"Brothers and fellow students, is there anyone willing to fight with me for this spiritual stone?"
Those outer disciples obviously knew the rule that they had to complete the task once the token was revealed, so they seemed to be gloating over the misfortune.
Then they laughed and said, "Brother Qian is very quick-witted. I think one person can handle this task. We should not take advantage of Brother Qian or hinder him."
Qian Ping smiled bitterly and bowed to everyone:
"Please don't make fun of me, brothers. When this mission is completed, I will set up a table for wine. Then you can tease me again."
Although those outer disciples were gloating, they only made jokes to a certain extent.
As they are from the same clan, these families have been related by marriage over the years, so the relations are still very close.
"Well, let's work together and then ask for help from our family. Lin'an County is so big, can't we find a few people from the Blood Cult?"
After one of the outer disciples finished speaking, another outer disciple also smiled and said:
"As long as Senior Brother Qian is not afraid of us sharing his spiritual stones, why don't we do the mission together?" They exchanged a few words and formed a team in the blink of an eye.
Several people registered their names with Zhuang Buzhou, and then left the signing room in twos and threes, and the room was empty.
Tian Lin frowned as he looked at the few remaining signs on the wall, his brows growing tighter and tighter.
After a while, he turned his head to look at Han Yue and said, "Didn't Senior Sister Han just accept the mission?"
Han Yue shook her head and said, "I came here to pay after completing a mission. I plan to take another mission while there is still time."
"What mission does Senior Sister Han plan to take? Do you need help from me?"
Tian Lin trusts Han Yue's character. He would rather earn less spirit stones and wants to get Han Yue on his side.
But Han Yue obviously looked down on Tian Lin's cultivation. She shook her head and said:
"No need. Senior Sister Xiao and I have an appointment to do a mission together. Even if I don't mind you holding me back, I'm afraid she'll think you're taking advantage of her."
Tian Lin almost couldn't hold back his smile, he didn't expect Han Yue to be so frank.
Then he heard Zhuang Buzhou laugh from behind the counter. When Tian Lin and Han Yue looked at him, Zhuang Buzhou said:
"I think you two should wait a little longer. I think the people from the Law Enforcement Hall will give you new tasks soon. Perhaps there will be some tasks that are more suitable for you."
Upon hearing this, Tian Lin and Han Yue bowed to Zhuang Buzhou to express their gratitude, but just as those outer disciples ignored Tian Lin, Zhuang Buzhou also ignored Han Yue.
After all, the outer disciples looked down on Tian Lin, who came from Huahualang.
But in the eyes of Zhuang Buzhou, the "son of an elder", how noble could the so-called clan family be than Hua Hualang?
At this time, the three people in the room were divided into three levels, and no one spoke for a while, so that the signing room that was bustling before became extremely quiet.
Tian Lin meditated for about half an hour, and finally heard footsteps.
A tall figure appeared in the signing room. Han Yue and Tian Lin stood up immediately. Even Zhuang Buzhou, who had been standing behind the counter with a cold expression, stood up and bowed to the visitor: "Greetings, Senior Brother Xing."
Xing Shanping glanced at the people in the room, finally stopping at Zhuang Buzhou and said:
"You are a disciple of the head of the peak, but you hide here and act as a manager. Aren't you ashamed?"
Zhuang Buzhou's face flushed, but he just lowered his head and refused to say a word.
Xing Shanping snorted coldly, his eyes swept across Han Yue, and finally fell directly on Tian Lin.
Tian Lin felt a little puzzled, he was not the head disciple, just a small cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining. It was unreasonable for Xing Shanping to blame him for being "afraid of death" like he blamed Zhuang Buzhou, right?
"You are a person at the second level of Qi Refining. Don't risk your life for a few spirit stones. This time, I am not going to take anyone away from Wang's family like I did last time."
Tian Lin feels funny when he mentions this.
The last time he escorted the Wang family back to Yaoyue Sect, it seemed like just an errand, but anyone with a discerning eye could see the danger involved.
But Xing Shanping still thought that escorting several Qi Refiners who were suspected of being involved with the Blood Cult was an easy task.
"Thank you for the reminder, I will do my best."
Tian Lin thanked Xing Shanping with a normal expression, and Xing Shanping hung the tokens from his waist on the wall one by one.
He was unwilling to stay in the room for long, but before leaving, he looked at Tian Lin and said:
"Only the mission in Wang's Residence is suitable for you. I still say the same thing, don't lose your life for a few spirit stones."
Tian Lin looked up, and with a moved look on his face, he bowed to Xing Shanping and said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother."
As soon as Xing Shanping left, he immediately reached for the sign that read "Wang's House".
There was a piece of parchment hanging under the sign, with the task content written on it.
Han Yue came over at this time. She glanced at him and frowned.
"This mission is also in the county, but it is indeed easier - however, it is only suitable for one person."
Indeed, because this task is worth one spirit stone.
If two people do it, not only will it be a waste of manpower, but it will also be difficult to divide the spirit stones.
"This is a mission to escort someone. It seems that in the eyes of Senior Brother Xing, I am suitable for this kind of escort work."
Tian Lin smiled and put the wooden sign away.
He hesitated and looked at the wall again, looking for tasks related to the county town.
A spirit stone is actually of great value to him at this moment.
But if he could complete the next two tasks at the same time, Tian Lin naturally wanted to earn as much as possible.
While he was looking at the tasks in the county, Han Yue also took a task in the county.
Before she left, she glanced at Tian Lin and said, "Brother, don't be greedy. What Brother Xing said does make sense. This is your first mission, so it's better to be careful."
Tian Lin bowed and thanked him, but after thinking it over, he decided not to take the task again.
He was not confident about the intelligence work of Yaoyue Sect. Who knew if there was any great danger hidden behind this simple task.
Don't end up taking two tasks but failing to complete either one.
