Cao Rushan didn't curse Li Mengzhou for not being able to cross the threshold of the Four Realms, but Li Mengzhou was different from other cultivators, his qi sea had problems, and he had stagnated in front of the threshold of the Four Realms for a long time.

Although it can't be said that he can't cross the threshold of the Four Realms, it also shows from another perspective that it will be more difficult for Li Mengzhou to cross that threshold than ordinary cultivators.

Of course, Cao Rushan also has his own selfish intentions, and he will hope that Li Mengzhou would not be able to cross the threshold of the Four Realms, so he can only follow him to practice the formation technique.

But when Li Mengzhou was unwilling, Cao Rushan couldn't say anything, so he could only continue to wait, either Li Mengzhou successfully crossed the threshold of the Four Realms and had no master-apprentice fate with him at all, or he continued to stagnate, then he would have an absolute reason to mess with Li Mengzhou.

Li Mengzhou didn't know what Cao Rushan was thinking, and when he drank the small half glass of wine, he sent Cao Rushan out of the courtyard.

Immediately after that, another person came to the door.

However, compared with the first meeting with Cao Rushan, the people who came to the door this time were acquaintances.

The leader of the secret agents of the Heavenly Council, Qingyi.

Li Mengzhou was full of joy, greeted him rarely, and said, "What's the matter?

Qing Yi paused helplessly, and said in a muffled voice: "No wonder you are so enthusiastic, it turns out that you are thinking about Yueyu." ”

Li Mengzhou said as a matter of course: "Aren't you talking nonsense, if it weren't for the monthly salary in the Heavenly Academy, the ghost would want to take care of you." ”

Qingyi was too lazy to argue with Li Mengzhou, so he directly reached into his arms, threw him a money bag, and said, "Although it is not yet the day to distribute the money, it is not a few days, so I will give it to you first." ”

Although Li Mengzhou has been joining the Heavenly Council for a while, he has really not performed any tasks, and it is also a very embarrassing thing to take it for nothing, but when it is a problem to eat, he will not take it for nothing.

He untied the money bag and counted it carefully, and said with some surprise: "The number is not quite right, I only have the name of Qingjiu in the Heavenly Academy, except for the task of being admitted to the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, I have never taken on other tasks, and the level should still be at the lowest, and I am cheeky to ask for it in ordinary times, and the most I get is fifty taels, how can I have a hundred taels of silver this month?"

In fact, regarding the task assigned by Jiang Tingyu to him to be admitted to the Palace Sword Academy, Li Mengzhou once had doubts about whether Jiang Tingyu had any thoughts about the Palace Sword Academy, but later this speculation was overturned by him, and he was more inclined to Jiang Tingyu deliberately using this kind of task to allow him to be successfully admitted to the Palace Sword Academy.

As for why Jiang Tingyu was so good to him, Li Mengzhou didn't bother to think about it, and he couldn't get an answer from Jiang Tingyu, so he could only temporarily suppress it in his heart.

Qing Yi said lightly: "Too much?"

"Who thinks there's a lot of silver? But all of a sudden, I always feel that something is not right. Although Li Mengzhou held the money bag tightly in his hand, he still maintained a cautious attitude.

Seiichi replied calmly, "There is a mission." ”

Li Mengzhou was a little surprised and said: "There is still a reward for performing the task? According to my usual salary, it is only a dozen taels, and even I have advanced a lot of silver, and now give me a hundred taels, how much is the reward for the task?"

If he wants to carry out the task, in fact, Li Mengzhou still feels that this hundred taels is a little less, because he still has to give some to Aunt Feng, and it is impossible to only take out a few taels of silver, no matter what, he has to give half of it to Aunt Feng, and the remaining fifty taels are used for daily expenses, although it is a lot, but under the premise of having a task, it is difficult to guarantee that these fifty taels do not need to be paid.

According to what he understood, the secret agents sent by the Heavenly Council to carry out very dangerous hidden missions, and occasionally received the task of killing the designated target, the former needs to have a very careful mind and the ability to remain unchanged in danger, while the latter needs to have a certain strength, Li Mengzhou's identity in the Heavenly Council belongs to the latter.

And there is also a hierarchy between the secret agents of the Heavenly Council, the difference is in their numbers, the highest is like the leader of the first rank, and the salary is dozens of taels every month, and from the second place to the twentieth place, it is a veritable elite of the Heavenly Council.

But because there are those who are strong and those who have strong camouflage ability, their cultivation realms are also high and low, but at least they are the most outstanding in their respective fields.

The original Qing Jiu was a hidden agent, although he did not cross the threshold of the four realms, but he lurked beside King Yu and successfully obtained information, but he was only discovered at the last moment, but he still returned to the capital alive, even if he killed all the pursuers in the capital, he died of exhaustion, but his ability is obvious to all.

Li Mengzhou inherited the number of Qingjiu, but he did not belong to the hidden agent, and he was also special in the Heavenly Academy, because he had no merits, although he had the name of Qingjiu, the monthly salary he could get was not high.

Ordinary people, just one or two pieces of silver and saving some flowers is enough to survive a month, even if Qingyi is the leader only holds a few dozen taels of monthly salary, but in fact, some ordinary people may not be able to earn it in their lifetime.

Li Mengzhou can get at least ten taels of monthly salaries every month, in fact, it is not less, aside from Li Mengzhou's particularity in the Heavenly Academy, most of the secret agents are performing very dangerous tasks, and if they are not careful, they may die in Huangquan, although these silver seem to be something that ordinary people can't earn in their lives, but if they are exchanged for their lives, then no amount of silver will be more.

Agents also have families, and the numbered level also means that they will receive tasks with different levels of danger, and most of those salaries are actually earned for their families. Beans Literature Network

For some tasks, the Heavenly Council will indeed give some silver, because the silver is needed in the mission, and now Li Mengzhou has a hundred taels in the money bag in his hand, obviously he can also expect that not all of this silver is for him.

As expected, Qingyi gave an accurate answer, "The eldest gentleman of the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace has brought back the news of some people from outside the mountain, combined with the incident that happened in the capital, there must be some kind of problem with the demon suppression barrier." ”

"And the Tang God General who is in the western realm has not received any news back, and His Majesty has decided to send the disciples of the various cultivation mountain sects to the wasteland to explore the possible problems of the demon suppression barrier. ”

"And on the way, you need to complete the task of killing the people outside the mountain, there are traces of people outside the mountain in all parts of the Jiang country, which means that you have to sweep all the way to the past, and when you arrive in the wasteland, try to kill all the people outside the mountain who appear on the bright side. ”

Qing Yi looked at Li Mengzhou seriously and said, "You are the seventh Mr. of the Leaving Palace Sword Academy, and you are also the secret agent Qing Jiu of the Heavenly Ruling Academy, this is the task given to you by the head of the Academy, and it is also the practical task of your Leaving Palace Sword Academy. ”

"On the way to the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland, you may encounter unimaginable dangers, because the truth of the sudden appearance of the people outside the mountains is not yet known, and it cannot be denied that there will be strong people outside the mountains behind the scenes, and once you start to carry out the mission of exterminating the people outside the mountains, the enemy is likely to counterattack. ”

"Your ultimate task is to arrive at the wasteland and join the Tang God General, what to do there, you have the Tang God General to arrange, and the qualified cultivation mountain sect disciples in the capital and all over the country will set off in separate ways, but people like Shen Qiubai, Bei Zangfeng, and Ouyang Shengxue must each lead a team of people. ”

"You still have two days to prepare, and when the time comes, you will meet at the south city gate and go up the Tianhe River. ”

Li Mengzhou smacked his tongue a little, it was very understandable to kill the people outside the mountain along the way, the cultivators in the capital and even the disciples of the mountain sects in various places set off at the same time, and the range that could be swept was very wide, and there was no need to run back and forth in various places.

However, the distance between the capital and the western frontier is extremely far, even if it is a non-stop journey, it will take several months, and if you encounter people from outside the mountains in the process, you will be delayed for some time, from setting off to the wasteland and then returning to the capital, I am afraid that it will take a year or two or even two or three years.

Although it may take a long time, Li Mengzhou did not think about refusing.

Because he just wanted to find a way to cross the threshold of the Four Realms, it was obviously a very suitable way to enter the world to cultivate, maybe he could get some opportunities, even if he didn't have the task of killing people outside the mountain, he might also consider leaving the capital and looking for an opportunity to break through the threshold of the Four Realms.

But the thing that can't be ignored is that the distance from the western frontier to the capital is farther than from Shuning Town to the capital, and after giving Aunt Feng fifty taels of silver, it is impossible for the remaining fifty taels to be used as travel expenses.

He has already made a promise that he will be filial to Aunt Feng for taking care of him when he sends it down, and it is impossible to deduct Mrs. Feng's silver because of this matter.

And in his thoughts, on the way to the mission, the most important thing is to break the realm, he may not follow the big team, in this way, fifty taels of silver must not be enough.

Qing Yi just came to convey these things, and after speaking, he turned around and left, and when Li Mengzhou came back to his senses and wanted to get some travel expenses from Qing Yi, he looked up and saw Qing Yi's back disappearing at the gate of the courtyard.

After His Majesty the Emperor's decree was issued, a special person went to the cultivation mountain gate near the capital to inform, and a big operation in the territory of Jiang Guo came to the fore, so many self-proclaimed extraordinary teenagers began to gear up, looking forward to tearing apart the outsiders.

But who will be torn apart by whom remains to be considered.

Li Mengzhou walked out of Chaosi Lane, he felt that he needed a partner, someone who could help him in his cultivation.

......

Night gradually enveloped Langya City.

The moon is high and the stars are everywhere, blooming with bright brilliance.

There are people busy in the night market, there are pedestrians through the streets and alleys, there are rich sons wandering around, the average sleeping time of Langya City is about the hour, the curfew is not every day, the night scene of Langya City is also very magnificent color.

Steward Pei checked the account books in a room on the second floor of the Xianfu Inn, the Xianfu Inn is dedicated to serving cultivators, although it provides free accommodation, but there are also a lot of various consumptions, and there will be a certain amount of income every year.

Except for those salaries that should be paid, most of them have to be charged to the national treasury, after all, it is the property of the royal family.

Because of Xiao Zhinan's battle with Ouyang Shengxue, the great gentleman of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, in the Sword Society, many foreign cultivators poured into the Inner City Immortal Mansion, wanting to see Xiao Da Jianxiu's face up close, thus bringing a wave of benefits from the Immortal Mansion, and Steward Pei was naturally happy in his heart.

It's a pity that Xiao Zhinan is not something anyone can see if they want to.

But Li Mengzhou saw it very easily.
