Chapter Twenty-Six: The House of the Cultivators

Although the autumn air is dry and cool, the sun is still strong, and the huge plaque hanging by the Yuyang City Auction House is like a calm lake under the red sky, reflecting the colorful brilliance of the Daodao.

At this time, under this huge plaque, there was a cultivator wearing a hat and dressed in black, he had just walked out of the trading hall on the first floor of the auction house, his cheeks under the black veil, with a bitter smile of three points, seven points of solemnity, this black hat was Qu Yuan who quietly came out of the Qu family's house early in the morning.

Just now, he found all the remaining materials needed to prepare the Ascending Dragon Potion on the trading floor on the first floor of the auction house, but when he calculated the cost of purchasing these materials, he could only stomp his feet and leave the trading hall temporarily.

Eighteen kinds of materials, it actually takes more than seven hundred Gathering Spirit Pills, and three of them are the most expensive, and the price of each material is more than a hundred Gathering Spirit Pills, in the face of such a huge number, Qu Yuan also had to leave the auction house trading hall, and now he only has more than a hundred Gathering Spirit Pills on his body.

"What should I do?"

"Grandpa Mingyuan, I'm afraid I can't get so many Gathering Spirit Pills. Qu Yuan clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with a hint of essence.

More than 700 Gathering Spirit Pills is not a small number, even for a family like the Qu family, if they want to take out more than 700 Gathering Spirit Pills from the Treasure Pavilion at once, the elders do not have such power.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Qu Yuan's gaze turned to the black building on the right, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, his eyes froze, his body shook slightly, and he raised his feet and walked towards the black building.

This black building is the home of the cultivators of Yuyang City, Qu Yuan wants to quickly obtain a large number of Gathering Spirit Pills, and for the time being, there is only one way to choose, which is to complete the adventure task.

With the flow of people, he smoothly entered the cultivator's house, and what instantly caught his eye was a huge hall, but it was full of people, and Qu Yuan was not in the mood to appreciate the exquisite decoration and arrangement here.

After a short search, I successfully found the counter to receive the adventure task, a row of the same counter, a total of ten lined up, and in front of each counter, there were several cultivators submitting or receiving the adventure task.

At a glance, Qu Yuan found that most of the cultivators here were not very strong, with the cultivators of the third and fourth rings as the majority, and a large number of cultivators were all gathered in the spacious hall to rest, or the cultivators who were familiar with each other gathered together to talk about something new.

Finding the location of the counter to receive the task, Qu Yuan walked over, lined up behind the two cultivators and waited quietly, the staff in the counter was a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, also a cultivator, wearing the unique uniform of the cultivator's house, Qu Yuan saw that there was a badge hanging on the person's chest, which represented the identity of the staff of the cultivator's house.

After waiting for about a third of the tea time, the two cultivators in front of him either received or submitted the task to complete the task and turned to leave, Qu Yuan naturally stepped forward and reached the edge of the counter.

"Hello, do you need any help?" The staff at the counter asked Qu Yuan quite politely, with a smile on his face, although he couldn't see Qu Yuan's face, but his eyes were still looking directly at Qu Yuan's black veil.

"I want to take on an adventure mission, I need a task with a relatively high reward, preferably a reward of about a thousand spirit pills, can I take such a task?" Qu Yuan didn't say much nonsense, and directly explained his intention to the staff.

"Well, there are such tasks, but the requirements for the cultivators who receive the tasks are also relatively high, let me see...... You need a third-level adventurer to receive such a character, may I ask sir, what level adventurer are you?" The staff twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard Qu Yuan's words, but he didn't show any other expression, but asked formulaically.

"Level 3 adventurer status?" Qu Yuan was slightly stunned.

He had never been to the Cultivator's House before, and he didn't know anything about the conditions for receiving the adventure mission, and now it seemed that it was not easy for him to receive the mission he needed. Other Qu Yuan was not sure, but he was sure that he was definitely not a third-level adventurer.

In this world, there are some cultivators whose profession is to complete adventure tasks, so in order to distinguish the abilities and strength of this type of cultivators, the cultivator's house will assign a level to this type of cultivator according to the completion of the task and personal strength of this type of cultivator. Similarly, all adventure quests also have a corresponding level, and low-level adventurers cannot claim advanced quests.

For example, a task with a reward of 1,000 Gathering Spirit Pills is a third-level difficulty adventure mission, and cultivators who want to receive this type of task must also have a corresponding adventure level.

"I had no previous experience with adventurous missions. Qu Yuan's face sank slightly, his body straightened up a little, and he looked directly at the staff in front of him and whispered.

"In that case, you won't be able to claim the Level 3 Adventure Mission. The staff shook their heads and said apologetically.

"My strength is good. Of course, Qu Yuan was not willing to give up like this, he gritted his teeth, put his palm on the counter, and leaned forward and said.

"I'm really sorry, the House of Cultivators has the rules of the House of Cultivators, and all adventurers need to abide by the rules here, so you can't receive adventure quests, so it is recommended that you start with the first-level quests. If you say that your strength is good, then you will be very efficient in completing low-level tasks, and you can quickly upgrade to a more advanced adventurer. The staff was obviously professionally trained, so they behaved extremely patiently, tirelessly said to Qu Yuan, and always had a faint smile on their faces.

"This ......" Qu Yuan's brows furrowed, he looked left and right, there were still several cultivators waiting behind him, and his eyes were already a little unkind to Qu Yuan, because Qu Yuan had already delayed a lot of time.

"By the way, if you urgently need the Gathering Spirit Pill, you might as well go to the Martial Arts Arena on the second floor to have a look, where you can even earn thousands of Gathering Spirit Pills in a few breaths. The staff member seemed to see Qu Yuan's inner entanglement, he thought about it, and said to Qu Yuan's proposal, while pointing to the stairs leading to the second floor.

The Cultivator's House is not only about adventure missions, but also about the martial arts arena, which is on the second floor.

Hearing this, Qu Yuan was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his mouth rose again, and his eyes reappeared with a look of hope, and the anxiety and unwillingness just now completely dissipated.

"Thank you. Qu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he thanked the staff member repeatedly, turned around and walked quickly towards the stairs.

There were also many people going up and down the stairs, and Qu Yuan found that many of them turned out to be ordinary people. When his eyes swept the crowd up and down, Qu Yuan also walked up.

And when he stepped on the second floor of the cultivator's house, his heart was also slightly shocked, because the number of people on the second floor was many times larger than that on the first floor, and the environment was even more noisy, and most of the people had red faces and emotions, and they were holding something like bills in their hands.

On the second floor, there were also many cultivators with serious faces wearing the uniforms of the Cultivator's House, their eyes piercing, and they drifted past the crowd from time to time.

It only took a moment for Qu Yuan to know the method of earning the Gathering Spirit Pill that the staff member on the first floor said, because the Douwu Arena on the second floor can be gambled, and those who are holding tickets in their hands are exactly the bets of the Douwu Arena, and the speed of earning the Gathering Spirit Pill can indeed be very fast.

In the martial arts arena, every once in a while, there is a martial arts match, that is, two cultivators are arranged to fight, and everyone can bet on one of the cultivators called the fighter here, if the bet is right, then you can get the corresponding bonus, if the bet is lost, then the bet is naturally gone, this is a test of luck and eyesight.

Qu Yuan's brows furrowed again, he only had more than 100 Gathering Spirit Pills on his body, but he didn't want to gamble on luck with this only Gathering Spirit Pill, he was completely unfamiliar with the fighters here, and he didn't know who had a greater hope of winning.

Moreover, if more than a hundred Gathering Spirit Pills want to win a thousand Gathering Spirit Pills, the difficulty can be imagined, even if you win one or two games first, as long as one of them loses, it is equivalent to giving up all your previous efforts.

"What should I do?"

"Think of another way?" Qu Yuan rubbed his palms, gritted his teeth, and looked at the cheeks that were either excited or depressed.

Just as Qu Yuan was considering whether to leave, a cultivator wearing the uniform of the Cultivator's House walked over and stared at Qu Yuan with a dark face, because Qu Yuan was wearing a hat on his head and had been standing there for a while, as a guard for the Cultivator's House to maintain order and ensure safety, of course there was a reason to come forward and interrogate.

"Sir, do you have any questions that you don't understand? The guard stepped forward and stared at Qu Yuan's veil for a long time before squeezing out a few words from between his teeth.

"Oh......" Qu Yuan was slightly stunned, his thoughts turned, his hands were slowly behind his back, his eyes looked at the guard, and he said in a deep voice, "I want to participate in the martial arts competition in the martial arts arena, is it okay?"

Qu Yuan also suddenly came up with this idea, if he participated in the martial arts competition by himself, wouldn't he have a greater certainty? And it is much better to put hope on himself than on others.

"Oh?" The guard didn't expect Qu Yuan to participate in the Fighting Martial Arts Competition, and he was also a little stunned, but then he returned to normal and said slowly, "Of course, we welcome cultivators to participate in the Fighting Martial Arts Competition, however, we have certain requirements for the strength of the cultivators participating in the Fighting Martial Arts Competition, and they cannot be lower than the cultivation of the Four Environmental Realms, because the lowest strength of the fighters in our Fighting Martial Arts Arena is also the Four Environmental Realms." The guard raised his eyebrows, and looked Qu Yuan up and down again, although Qu Yuan deliberately pretended to be experienced and wore a hat, but from his voice, he could tell that Qu Yuan was not very old, and the general strength of young cultivators was naturally relatively low.
