Chapter 155: Not Forgetting the Beginning
Chapter 155: Not Forgetting the Beginning
Clouds and mist surrounded the area, and a clean white spirit crane flew through them.
A moment later, it stopped at the front door of the Hall of Concubine Affairs.
Lu Xuan jumped down and out of courtesy, he took out a spirit stone, wanting to give it to the spirit crane as a reward for piggybacking.
The Spirit Crane gave a crisp chirp, its wings slapped Lu Xuan’s outstretched hand away, shot up into the sky, and departed.
“Hey, why are you so polite?”
Lu Xuan half-heartedly put the Spirit Stones back into his storage bag and lamented.
Entering the hall of the Concubine Hall, various mission information was constantly refreshed on the light screen, and dozens of Outer Sect disciples were waiting below, waiting to receive suitable missions.
Lu Xuan casually glanced at it and did not find any suitable Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Beasts related tasks for himself, so he bypassed the light screen and came to the back of the side in front of one of the Concubine Hall deacons.
“May I ask Senior Brother, I want to release a quest, how should I do it?”
It was rare to buy fresh demonic beast eye pupils in Sword Gate Town, and Lu Xuan didn’t want to go out and hunt the demonic beasts himself.
On balance, he planned to set up a quest about demonic beast eye pupils, asking the many outer disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect to help him solve the problem of nourishing the Hundred Pupil Guilewood.
Although he had third-grade treasures such as the Hidden Spirit Cloak, the Sundown Thunder Sword Pill, and the Unsullied Jade, the Patriarch-grade Gengjin Sword Skill, a body strength that was no weaker than that of a second-grade artifact, the second-grade Secret Art of Burning Blood Arrow, and numerous second-grade talismans, he was still unwilling to venture out to the secret realms and wildernesses to hunt down and kill demonic beasts.
It is also considered to be not forgetting the original heart.
“Posting a mission message requires three spirit stones and can be displayed on the light screen for a month, if the time limit is exceeded and no fellow disciple has yet to collect the mission, the mission message will disappear, or the fee can be renewed to extend the period.”
“The content of the quest as well as the quest rewards need to be decided by Senior Brother yourself, and we will only release it after you have verified it, lest there be some unnecessary disputes.”
“You can set the task as a single time type of task, or you can set it as multiple times to receive the task, the former will directly disappear after receiving it, and in the case of the latter, you can come over to the Concubine Hall to revoke it at any time.”
That Qi Practicing Perfection Concourse Hall Deacon raised his head and said in detail to Lu Xuan.
“Good, many thanks to senior brother for explaining.”
“I want to issue a quest to collect demonic beasts’ eye pupils, a first and second grade will suffice.”
“The biggest requirement is to ensure the freshness of the eye pupils.”
“For the mission reward, the eye pupil of a first-grade demonic beast is ten spirit stones each, and the price of a second-grade one fluctuates according to the species of the demonic beast, the quality of the eye pupil, and the degree of freshness, not less than thirty spirit stones each.”
Lu Xuan took out three spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them over to the Concubine Hall cultivator.
The cultivator held a silver-white brush and wrote rapidly on a small light screen, then, handed it to Lu Xuan.
“Senior brother, you can confirm it again, and if there aren’t any problems, you can release it now.”
Lu Xuan swept over the mission information on the small light screen and nodded in agreement.
The Concubine Hall cultivator then asked Lu Xuan about the location of his cave and his daily routine, so that the mission could be handed over smoothly upon completion.
“By the way, Senior Brother, you often post various tasks in the Concourse Hall, so you must know the surrounding secret realm quite well, I wonder if you are clear about where various types of demonic insects abound?”
“A secret realm that abounds in demonic insects? I do know that there is a place called the Red Miasma Valley, which has a lot of forests, a humid climate, and a large area covered by miasma, which is extremely suitable for all types of demonic insects to grow and flourish.”
“If Senior Brother wants to hunt demonic insects, that would be a good place to go.”
Lu Xuan hastily shook his hand in rejection.
“Senior brother misunderstood, I just want to learn more about it, I’ve been a bit interested in that strange demonic insect lately.”
He pondered for a moment and continued. “Let me post another quest about demonic insect larvae or eggs.”
“Collect demon bug eggs or larvae for me, if there is the kind that molts and sheds its skin during growth that would be best.”
“The rewards for the quest will still be based on spirit stones, and will be negotiated based on the type of demonic insect, its grade, and the number of eggs or larvae.”
Eggs or larvae suitable for the growth of the Xuan Insect Vine were equally rare, Lu Xuan decided to issue another quest, hiring fellow cultivators to help him collect demonic insect eggs or larvae of the right class.
The Hundred Pupil Guile Wood and the Xuan Worm Vine were both of the same fourth grade, and were the highest grade spirit plants grown so far, so it was worth it to pay a few more spirit stones for their proper growth.
In any case, there would be a greater return for the effort, and this amount of spirit stones was nothing in front of the rewards of the light cluster.
After buying the Xuan Bug Vine, he didn’t have many sword seals in his hand, only more than fifty left, but the spirit stones have not been consumed much, and he currently has more than 1,800 spirit stones, which is completely enough to acquire first-grade and second-grade eye pupils, bug eggs, and so on.
The Concubine Hall cultivator nodded and entered the information into the light screen.
Lu Xuan delivered three spirit stones and came to the hall in front of the huge light screen.
Before gazing for long, the relevant contents of the two quests appeared on the light screen.
Underneath the light screen, there were quite a few cultivators who were attracted by the mission information on it.
“How does the Collecting Demon Beast Eye Pupils quest …… feel a bit strange? It’s a bit unlike the style of the Famous Sect.”
“What do you care, maybe it’s one of the fellow disciples researching special pills or ways to deal with evil cultivators!”
“This task is quite simple, no matter which secret realm you go to, you can kill the demonic beasts by hand, and the pupil of the eye is usually not the most valuable part of the demonic beast’s body, and you can exchange it for some extra spirit stones, which is also an unexpected pleasure.”
“The main difficulty lies in how to maximize the freshness of the demonic beast’s eye pupils.”
“Perhaps it is possible to beat the demonic beast to half-death and then settle it completely when we return to the sect? That way, there would be no need to worry about the maintenance of the eye pupils.”
During the discussion, a cultivator soon thought of a feasible method.
As for the bug egg or larva task, there were far fewer Heavenly Sword Sect cultivators interested.
After all, demonic insects were small, secretive, and had many odd abilities, so if one wasn’t careful, one would fall into their hands.
Lu Xuan watched for a while and returned to his cave, waiting for his fellow disciples to bring back to him what he needed.
As soon as he opened the courtyard door, the rounded belly of the Wind Falcon hatchling landed on his head and instantly bounced away.
The cloud-treading lynx was still elegantly lying on the ground, its turquoise pupils gazing faintly at Lu Xuan, with only the gray hairs on the tips of its ears shaking to and fro, revealing its cheerful mood.
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but pull the two tufts of gray hair.
“Ow~~”
The Cloud Treading Lynx roared in a low voice, containing a lot of clips.
Lu Xuan teased the two little ones and came into the Spirit Field.
He came near where he buried the Xuan Worm Vine Spirit Seed, took out the branch that he had bought, and carefully removed the white Spirit Rice-like Cryptic Winged Cicada Insect Eggs on it.
There were a total of eight insect eggs, lying in his hand, and he could vaguely sense the faint vitality inside.
He executed the Earth Drawing Technique, and several small holes appeared in the spiritual soil above the Xuan Worm Vine Spiritual Seed, Lu Xuan’s spiritual power controlled the Hidden Winged Cicada Insect Eggs, gently sending them to the surface of the Xuan Worm Vine Spiritual Seed.
