Chapter 54: Undercurrent

Xu Hong came to Jingchen from time to time to chat, and the four of them gradually became familiar with each other. In a group of casual cultivators, an alliance was formed.

For two days in a row, the wind and waves were calm, and Mengyu only found one spirit grass, which was one of the tasks this time.

Jing Jingchen, this guy, only cared about chatting with Xu Hong, and he didn't mean to find Lingcao at all.

And Mengyu and Duan Yuan rarely spoke, and buried themselves in the hard work to complete the task.

After two days of calm and calm, Mengyu found two kinds of spirit grass in the mission, and six kinds were not found. And they planned to spend 10 days on the trip.

Looking at the appearance of the scenery Chenjiao, Mengyu became angry. "If you don't look for spirit grass, what will you take to hand in the task."

"Isn't it you, little Meng'er, as far as I know, you have completed the task of the two of us." Jingchen said with a smile.

"You, you scoundrel, I tell you, I will never help you with your mission. The extra spirit grass, I can use it to exchange for spirit stones. ”

"Little Meng'er, you're not kind. We're accomplices. Jing Jingchen looked around and said in a low voice: "Don't look at the two days of peace, the next thing is the main thing." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"I watched carefully for two days, and although these people didn't do anything, how could they hide from me from the small actions between them. Interestingly, several major families were divided into three factions, secretly wooing loose cultivators. ”

"Don't the people who take the lead care? They are foundation building stage cultivators, can these people's small actions be hidden from their eyes? Mengyu was skeptical.

"You don't understand that, do you?" Jing Jingchen raised his eyebrows, "That's the foundation building period, how can you see us in the qi refining period." In their eyes, we can't afford to make any waves. As long as there are no major changes, they will not interfere. ”

"Why hasn't anyone co-opted us?" Mengyu asked.

"We are outsiders, and the two of us are two idiots in the eyes of others, how can we be qualified to be co-opted." Jing Chen rolled his eyes indecently. "People are all strong, and people like Xu Hong and Duan Yuan are the ones who are being scrambled."

"Xu Hong and Duan Yuan, are they reliable?" Mengyu was a little worried.

"Don't worry, in the eyes of those people, we are not a threat. As for Xu Hong and Duan Yuan, these two people are not weak, and their origins are mysterious, as long as they are not offended. ”

"What about our mission, if we can't complete it, we have to hand over two spirit stones." Mengyu asked, they are two poor and two white, and the tasks behind them must not be easy to complete, otherwise how could these people form gangs and factions, and they may fight in the end.

"There are only two spirit grasses in the quest that are difficult to find, and the others can be found here. Ice Grass and Flame Stone are both with attributes, so they are not easy to find. "Scenic Tatsudo.

"How do you know?" Mengyu asked.

Jing Chen said proudly: "I haven't been idle in the past two days, and I have inquired very clearly about the eight tasks." ”

"Hmph, it's still useful." Mengyu said stiffly, in fact, listening to him say this, she already understood that this guy already had a plan in his heart. "How can you find the Ice Grass and the Flame Stone?"

"It's a matter of luck, but may we both have good luck against the odds."

Mengyu turned her head to ignore him and continued to complete the task. But in my heart, I was thinking that if I finish the easy ones first, and the two most difficult ones are left, even if I can't finish them, at most I will come for nothing. The handing over of spirit stones she just talked about would only happen if she didn't find two. If you find six, you can still get at least two spirit stones.

To Mengyu's relief, in the next few days, Jing Chen's luck was so good that he was jealous, and he successfully found the four. Most of the two of them completed their tasks, and only the two most difficult ones were not found.

"Little Meng'er, don't worry about it now. Just say, with me, you don't have to worry. Jingchen smiled brightly.

Mengyu also smiled, "Yes, I'm not worried, then you can find the remaining two, and we can get ten spirit stones." ”

"Uh, you're obviously not opening a pot." Jing Chen's smile froze, and quickly recovered. "Besides, each of us has been overfulfilled, and if we take it out and buy it, we can exchange it for spirit stones."

"Of course I know this, but the spirit stones, of course, the more the merrier. Feng Gongzi has to continue to work hard. Mengyu smiled happily.

"What's the matter, so happy?" Xu Hong asked suddenly.

The two of them said that they were so engrossed that they didn't even notice that Xu Hong was already close to their side. At the same time, the heart is awe-inspiring.

Jingchen smiled and said, "It's okay, just quarrel with Xiao Meng'er for a few words." ”

"Haha, Jingchen, it's not for my brother to say you, Mengyu is a girl, you just let her do more."

"Brother Xu is right." Jingchen was busy. "Is there something wrong with Brother Xu coming over?"

Xu Hong put away his smile and lowered his voice and said: "There are three days before this trip is over, you must be careful, the more you get to the end, the more dangerous it is." ”

"What does Brother Xu mean by this?" Jingchen asked.

"It's not a secret, I also heard from others, there are two people who have obtained the Cold Ice Grass and the Flame Stone, both of which are scattered cultivation, how can the people of several major families let them go, they are already deployed in secret."

"Didn't the people of several great families win them over?" Jing Jingchen was puzzled, "Besides, the reward of five spirit stones is a lot of wealth for our casual cultivation, but will the children of the family value such a reward?" ”

"You don't know that." Xu Hong said mysteriously, "Of course, the children of the family don't care about a few spirit stones, but this time, we naturally don't know the rewards within their family." The goal of the children of the family is to complete the task and be recognized by the family. ”

"Then they can pay for the Ice and Flame Stones."

"Of course you can, but there are so many children of the family, but there is only one Ice Grass and Flame Stone, how fierce the competition will be."

Jingchen suddenly realized: "Xu Hong's knowledge is really extraordinary, thank you for the dial, today's grace, I will definitely remember it." ”

Xu Hong waved his hand and said: "It's a trivial matter, don't worry about it." In short, you must be careful next. ”

Seeing Xu Hong leave, Mengyu said in a low voice: "Hehe, the acting skills are getting more and more exquisite." ”

"Little Meng'er, are you complimenting?"

"Hmph, don't pretend. Xu Hong said, you have already thought of it, why bother to behave. Mengyu sneered, she just couldn't get used to seeing him like that, and she couldn't help but choke a few words.

"People are kind enough to remind us, and we always have to be grateful." Jing Jingchen didn't care about Mengyu's sarcasm, "The secret surge in the past few days, everyone knows it in their hearts. It's just that they don't pick each other. I'm thinking, why is Xu Hong's move, is it really a kind reminder? ”
