16. Strange sensations in the body
The next day, when the first rays of light in the early morning shone on Youyuan Mountain, Ye Xiaokai had already woken up, and after cleaning himself up, Ye Xiaokai set off directly with some dry food, water and clothes.
"Thanks to the master's storage bag, otherwise these things really wouldn't have fit. Ye Xiaokai sighed, because he didn't know how many days he was going to go, so he prepared a six-day reserve first.
After packing up his things, Ye Xiaokai went down the mountain directly, and met many newly admitted Yingying Yanyan along the way, but Ye Xiaokai didn't squint and didn't pay attention to those.
Before going down the mountain, Ye Xiaokai had already picked a mission hall that was closest to Youyuan Mountain, despite this, Ye Xiaokai still walked for a long time, after all, the location of Youyuan Mountain was really a bit remote.
Fortunately, no matter how far away he was, he couldn't help grinding his feet, and Ye Xiaokai finally came to this mission hall.
As soon as he entered the mission hall, Ye Xiaokai was a little surprised, because there were still many people in this hall in the morning.
Maybe it's because he just finished welcoming the new year, Ye Xiao thought happily, so he crossed the line one by one and chose the shortest queue to go up.
This line is neither long nor short, after Ye Xiaokai waited for half a pillar of incense, he came to the front, and inside the window was an old man who looked gray-haired.
"Hello, I would like to take on a junior assignment on Chilan Island. ”
From Lubei, Ye Xiaokai already knew that in Qinghuang Academy, the grades of tasks were also divided, divided into primary, intermediate, advanced and special, and the rewards corresponding to each grade of tasks were different.
The sect contribution points of the beginner task are in the range of 1-100, the sect contribution of the intermediate task is divided into 101-1000, the sect contribution of the advanced task is divided into 1001-10000, and the sect contribution of the special task is divided into more than 10,000.
Despite this, in the outer courtyard of Qinghuang Academy, the highest task level is only a high-level task, and only a few people at the top of the Dao level are qualified to take over the task of this level in the outer courtyard, and as for the special task, it only exists in the inner courtyard.
Generally speaking, like mortal outer court disciples, they will only accept primary tasks, and after stepping into Baihui Dao, they will only have the qualifications to take on intermediate tasks, and similarly, the inner court disciples of Qi Hai Dao generally have the strength to take on advanced tasks, and the inner court disciples of Spirit Vein Dao are qualified to take on special tasks.
"There are only three primary tasks left in Qilan Island, first, bring back the Yuanshi Mine, 5 points per catty, second, retrieve the Burning Spirit Tree, which rewards 50 points per branch, and third, pick and take honeysuckle, 100 points each. The old man looked at Ye Xiaokai, his eyes were slightly surprised, but he quickly hid this surprise, and his speech was extremely smooth and sophisticated, obviously, he had repeated these words countless times.
"The more points you have for a task, the more difficult it will be. The old man finally reminded him kindly, but he didn't persuade him much.
"There is a task to pick up the spirit Xiaomu. Ye Xiaokai thought about it for a while and understood that the academy was probably used to sell it for himself, and they were now equivalent to wage earners.
"I pick up the first and the second. Ye Xiaokai replied, he already knew what Yuanshi was, and Yuanshi Mine was obviously a mineral extracted from Yuanshi, but since the points obtained were so low, the difficulty should be very small, so he simply took it.
As for the second task, in order to repay Mei Lan's points, he can only save up slowly, and he also needs to use the Burning Spirit Xiaomu himself.
As he spoke, Ye Xiaokai had already handed over the sect token.
The old man took the token, swiped it lightly at a machine, and when the token clanged, he handed it back.
"The display screen of the token already has the specific information and address of these two tasks, you can already view, the completion period is half a month, if it is not completed on time, you need to click cancel on the token, if you don't click, it will affect the reputation score. The old man said calmly.
"Okay, thank you!" Ye Xiaokai took the token, left the queue, and after remembering the route to the two places a little, he set off directly.
Fifty miles of road is not close, after a night of sleeping in the open, Ye Xiaokai finally reached the periphery of Qilan Island on the afternoon of the second day.
Qilan Island is an island adjacent to the coast of the Southern Regions, and the area does not seem to be very large, at least when looking at it from a distance, Ye Xiaokai can see it all.
You can see a verdant shade on the island, and a bubbling heat wave erupts from time to time over the lush forest, which faintly deforms the space above the island, and before entering the island, Ye Xiaokai already feels that his heart seems to be affected by a burst of dry heat.
It seems that that Burning Spirit Xiaomu should indeed be able to be used as a yang attribute material for the Ice and Fire Heavy Heaven Technique, Ye Xiao thought happily.
"Go to the island, 1 Qinghuang Academy's sect points for a trip! Cheap and affordable! Come on!"
"I'm on the island! Two round-trip trips to a yuan stone mine! Special period, special offer!"
“......”
There are a lot of people coming and going in and out of the island, the voices of people are boiling, fish and snakes are mixed, and a few quick-eyed boatmen see someone coming, their eyes are bright, and they begin to sell hard to attract the attention of customers.
Ye Xiaokai naturally noticed these people a long time ago, at least half of them were students of Qinghuang Academy, because they were all wearing the uniforms of Qinghuang Academy, Ye Xiaokai was also wearing them, after all, he didn't have any strength now, and it was safer to wear them.
"Hey, we're all ants. Although Ye Xiaokai felt that these people were very good at trading, but for the first time, there was a sadness in his heart, what is the Tao, is there really the strongest person in this world? Ye Xiaokai was a little unconvinced.
"Little junior brother, I see that you are also a disciple of my Qinghuang Academy, you must have entered the island when you came here, in this way, senior brother will give you a preferential price, and a piece of yuan stone mine will let you enter and exit four times, how about it?"
It was a man with fiery red hair who spoke, looking very grinning, exuding a fierce aura all over his body, and he took the initiative to come over to say hello as soon as he swept Ye Xiaokai.
"Senior brother, you are a new disciple of this session, right? Haha, I am a disciple of the previous session, my name is Zhou Tai, and I can count it as your senior brother! Let's go, get on my boat, it is guaranteed to be cheap!" The fiery red-haired young man named Zhou Tai stepped forward and patted Ye Xiaokai on the shoulder.
Ye Xiaokai's eyes froze, because he saw that there were already seven pale yellow muscle lines condensed between Zhou Tai's knuckles, which meant that this Zhou Tai had actually cultivated to the seventh layer of mortal humanity within a year!
It seems that this Senior Brother Zhou Tai is definitely excellent among the students of the same class!
"Ahem, Senior Brother Zhou, I don't know if I can get credit?" Ye Xiaokai was embarrassed, he didn't have half of the sect's points now, let alone any Yuan Stone Mine.
"This ......" Zhou Tai was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Ye Xiaokai to come here penniless.
"Ye Xiaokai, hmph, you can't even get 1 sect points, how dare you come to Qilan Island directly to do tasks, don't you know how to go to the Miscellaneous Servants Hall first to get some handymen to earn sect points?"
Zhou Tai was about to speak, when he heard a dissatisfied voice behind him, and when he looked back, he immediately looked embarrassed.
"Butterfly whispered, did you finish the task so quickly?" Zhou Tai smiled at Butterfly whispering.
Butterfly whispering and him are the same students, but now he is already a mortal ninth layer, and the knuckles have condensed nine muscle patterns, but he knows that Butterfly whispering's identity is not simple, and Butterfly whispering has a very good relationship with their first day disciple Mei Lan, I heard that Mei Lan has entered the early stage of Baihui Dao.
"Yes, I just finished it. Die nodded softly, but she didn't attack Zhou Tai, and then she looked at Ye Xiaokai, her brows furrowed slightly, she dared to come here to do tasks less than a month after she was admitted to the hospital, is this Ye Xiaokai looking for death? You must know that Senior Sister Meilan only dared to take these tasks three months after being admitted to the hospital.
"Fluttershy, you don't have to be so nervous about me, or I'll be very rare. Ye Xiaokai didn't expect to meet Die Whispering so coincidentally, although he could feel that this woman didn't look like a bad person, but she was preconceived and always looked condescending to herself, which made Ye Xiaokai very unhappy.
"You...... I'm going to be a sniff for you, then you're going to go in and die. Butterfly's face turned red for a while, obviously angry, but she didn't expect Ye Xiaokai to dare to laugh at her in public, and she was really a little ignorant, so she glanced at Ye Kai fiercely, and threw her clothes away.
"Eh, little junior brother, you are amazing, you just entered the academy and provoked such a beauty! It's not easy!" Zhou Tai's thick eyebrows were exaggerated, his eyes were shocked, and he gave a thumbs up and was surprised.
"However, don't take it to heart, Die whispered that this person is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, not a big traitor, she is still quite trustworthy as a teammate. Zhou Tai's eyes widened a little as he spoke, as if he remembered something.
"Cough, senior brother, I'll ask somewhere else!" Taking advantage of Zhou Tai's distraction, Ye Xiaokai was too lazy to take care of this stupid big man.
"Eun, good drop, good drop. Sure enough, Zhou Tai subconsciously nodded again and again, but the corners of his mouth smiled to himself.
"Hello senior brother, I also just entered the hospital, working in the miscellaneous department of our college, and now I am sent here to ferry, you can earn some odd jobs, if you really don't have points, I will help you ask later, it should still recruit people, this time I will send you this round trip for free." ”
Not far away stood a girl in a plain cloth dress, with big eyes, curved eyebrows, a sweet smile, a gentle voice with a hint of crampedness, and a trace of shyness under the generosity.
"Thank you. Ye Xiaokai said three words simply, stared at the girl and looked deeply, a little curious.
The two looked at each other, and time seemed to freeze for a moment, but at this moment, it was like a lifetime.
"What's going on?" Ye Xiao suddenly had a trace of fear, a trace of sadness, a trace of eagerness, and a trace of confusion in his happiness.
There seemed to be something inexplicable in the depths of my mind, and a wisp of golden and simple aura began to flow quietly.
"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Yuxi, flash aside! Steal my business in person, you're not kind. Just when Ye Xiaokai's expression was wrong, a rude and dissatisfied voice sounded.
"Hmph, doesn't my Zhou Tai seem to be the kind of helpful person? I can't be happy to underestimate me so much!"
Ye Xiaokai seemed to have had a dream, and suddenly woke up, his face a little suspicious.
"Hehe, senior brother looks like the kind of iron-blooded man who is brave and helpful, where would I dislike my senior brother. Ye Xiaokai smiled.
"Ahem, but I still want to sit on her. Ye Xiaokai pointed cheekily, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
"Wow, you're really unkind! Senior brother, don't I want to lose face!" Zhou Tai's face was surprised, obviously he didn't expect Ye Xiaokai to make this choice.
"Senior brother, I'm thinking about you, anyway, I don't have any money, so I don't have to spend your strength on someone else's boat, and I'll be embarrassed to let my senior brother work hard. Ye Xiaokai had already sensed that something was wrong in his body just now, so he had already made up his mind to take the boat of the girl named Yuxi.
"Hmph, you kid thinks you can fool me like this, no, I still prefer to be more serious, I don't accept this reason, today I Zhou Tai just want to ferry you for free! No one can persuade you!" Zhou Tai was very displeased, he wouldn't even be able to see this low-level reason, but, no matter what, he couldn't be dismissed by a junior brother who had just been admitted to the hospital in public!
