Chapter 198: The Jade Bottle and the Quest
An hour after the exchange meeting began, Chen Rui and Zhu Xiaolong were still sitting at their tables, drinking wine and boiled water boringly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lin Rui, these tasks and exchanged things don't seem to be very suitable for us. On the other side of the table, Zhu Xiaolong said to Chen Rui with a helpless expression.
After listening to so many tasks and exchanging items, Zhu Xiaolong still didn't find one suitable for the two of them. If it wasn't for the task being too simple and not challenging, or for some boring tasks to find spiritual materials, Zhu Xiaolong and Chen Rui didn't dare to be interested. And those items that came out to exchange, Zhu Xiaolong was a little disdainful, after all, he knew that there was a third-level magic core in the storage bracelet on Chen Rui's wrist.
"Well, it's a bit of a no-fit. But anyway, we're not in a hurry, just wait!" Chen Rui said indifferently, he came to this tavern to see a fresh look.
"Hey, your attitude is really... Zhu Xiaolong was speechless.
Just when Chen Rui and Zhu Xiaolong were bored, another demon martial artist walked over in the central clearing of the tavern, and looking at the power faintly emanating from his body, it should be a cultivation at the peak of the ninth rank of the primary level. I saw that he was a little nervous standing in the center, still holding a jade bottle tightly in his hand.
"Hmm? It seems that he is going to exchange the elixir? I don't know what level it is. Chen Rui also saw what he was holding in his hand and whispered.
"Pills?" Zhu Xiaolong also looked over, the highest-grade pill he had seen so far was the bottle he had obtained in that strange valley before, and he had only used up two of them so far.
"I'm here to exchange items this time, and I think everyone has seen what I have in my hands. There is an elixir in this jade bottle, a second-level elixir, and the effect is to increase the total amount of magic energy in the body. The man glanced around, then briefly introduced what he was holding.
"Grade 2 elixir!
"This elixir is good! I don't know what he needs to exchange. ”
After hearing the person's introduction, there was a burst of discussion around, and it seemed that everyone's interest in this pill was quite large.
"Hey, Lin Rui, this elixir looks very good!" Zhu Xiaolong looked at the reactions of the people around him and said to Chen Rui.
"Average. Chen Rui returned lightly.
This elixir is said to increase the total amount of demonic energy in the body, but in fact, it is just to speed up the cultivation speed, in terms of quality and effect, it is far inferior to the bottle of elixir in Zhu Xiaolong's hand.
"I'm going to exchange this pill for a mid-to-low-level wood-based technique. Seeing that the people around him were interested, the man then made his own request.
"Hehe, the requirements are quite high!" Chen Rui said with some disdain when he heard his request.
An ordinary second-level pill is like changing a second-level exercise, but it's not like this. Sure enough, after the man made his request, the discussion below immediately quieted down, and it seemed that it was a little unworthy.
"Dude, isn't your requirement a bit too high, the value of a medium-level and low-level exercise is much higher than that of an elixir of the same level, if you want a beginner-level ninth-level peak exercise, I can exchange it with you." After being cold for a while, the voice of a demon warrior came from the corner of the tavern, it seemed that he had some thoughts about the elixir, but he still thought that the person was too demanding.
"No, at least a moderate amount of exercises, even if it's the lowest, it doesn't matter. The man shook his head and didn't agree, it seemed that he was just going to change to a medium exercise.
"Then I can't help it. "The demon warrior who spoke out before had to give up his plan, and he was not going to make a loss-making deal.
After some time, no one was willing to exchange with him, and just as the man was about to go down in disappointment, a clear voice came from the corner.
"I changed!"
"Lin Rui?" Zhu Xiaolong looked at Lin Rui, who suddenly spoke out on the other side, and shouted in surprise. Didn't you just say that it wasn't worth it, why do you have to change it now, and you won't waste it like this if you're a local tyrant.
"It's okay, I've got it all right. Seeing that Zhu Xiaolong didn't understand, Chen Rui handed him a reassuring expression.
"Then it's up to you, anyway, you are a local tyrant, willful!" This sentence was learned by Zhu Xiaolong from Chen Rui.
"Well, that friend, do you really want to change?" Seeing that someone was finally willing to change, the person who was already disappointed asked excitedly towards Chen Rui.
"Well, really, but I'm going to ship it a priori. Chen Rui replied lightly, and then walked over from the table, while Zhu Xiaolong also followed.
"Okay! No problem, then let's go to the back to inspect the goods!" The man saw Chen Rui coming, so he put away the jade bottle in his hand and walked towards the back of the tavern with Chen Rui, which was the trading place for them.
In a dark room at the back of the tavern, Chen Rui was carefully checking something with the jade bottle that the man had just handed him.
"256, you say this jade bottle is weird?" Chen Rui seemed to be carefully inspecting on the surface, but in his heart he was talking to 256, if it wasn't for 256 in his mind and you asked him to replace this jade bottle, he wouldn't have made a move.
"Well, I didn't pay attention to it before, I just simply scanned the pill inside, and later found out that the most valuable thing was not the pill inside, but the jade bottle itself. 256's faint voice echoed in his head.
"Why is it so valuable? I don't see anything strange, this should be an ordinary jade bottle, right?" Chen Rui looked at the jade bottle as he rummaged through his hands, muttering in his heart.
As everyone knows, his action looks quite strange in the eyes of the person opposite. What kind of person? Why did he stare at the jade bottle when he checked the pill, but he didn't care about the pill inside, did he have a special ability?
And Zhu Xiaolong has long been accustomed to Chen Rui's strange performances, so he is not surprised at all. On the contrary, he was also interested in this jade bottle, since the elixir was not very valuable, if Chen Rui wanted to exchange it, then the problem must be in this jade bottle.
"We'll talk about this later, you can replace it first. 256 didn't immediately explain to Chen Rui, but asked him to get the jade bottle first.
"Well, okay, anyway, you gave the exercises. Chen Rui replied indifferently, and then his thoughts returned to the outside again.
"Well, the elixir is indeed as you said, I changed it. I'm going to get the exercises, you wait a minute. Chen Rui handed the jade bottle back to the man in his hand and said casually.
"Well, please, I'll wait here!" the man looked a little excited after hearing Chen Rui's words, and couldn't wait to say.
"Hmm. Then, Chen Rui and Zhu Xiaolong left this dark room.
After going out, Zhu Xiaolong came to Chen Rui's side.
"Hey, I said, you actually fell in love with that jade bottle, I just saw that you have been checking the jade bottle, but you haven't even looked at the pills inside. Zhu Xiaolong had an expression that I understood.
"Uh?!I didn't expect you to be quite smart!Yes, I just took a fancy to the jade bottle, but I haven't figured out what it's used for yet, but I'll talk about it first. Chen Rui glanced at Zhu Xiaolong with a little surprise and generously admitted.
"Hey, who am I?, okay, it's the top genius in our area?!" Zhu Xiaolong was slightly praised by Chen Rui and began to flutter.
"Okay, I still have to write exercises, don't bother me, if you write a wrong word, it will be a fool. Chen Rui said with a smile, and then took out a wooden tablet and brush from the storage bracelet and was ready to start writing exercises. This is what he specially prepared later, and he can't use a piece of paper to write exercises and secret techniques like before, it's too cheap.
"You won't write it again, will you?!" Seeing Chen Rui's movements, Zhu Xiaolong's eyes widened and asked. He still remembered that Chen Rui wrote his exercises like this before, but Chen Rui didn't make a mistake.
"Well, what else? I don't have that many exercises with me. Chen Rui replied without raising his head, and his subordinates were writing rapidly.
Speaking of which, Chen Rui's handwriting is still good, but it was also forced by Long Ling when he was a child, saying that a genius must be perfect in all aspects, so he and Chen Tianhao were forced by Long Ling to learn a lot of things that were useless in the eyes of demon warriors.
"That's it!" As the last stroke of Chen Rui's hand fell, the exercises he wrote were completed.
"Huhu! huhu!" After finishing writing, Chen Rui blew a few big breaths on the wooden tablet, so that it would not look too "fresh" after all.
"Okay, let's go, find that person to change the jade bottle!" After drying the ink on the wooden tablet, Chen Rui put away the exercises and walked towards the dark room in the back again, while Zhu Xiaolong of course followed behind with a speechless face.
"Okay, then now this elixir is yours!" After the man briefly verified the authenticity of the exercises given by Chen Rui, he happily handed the jade bottle to Chen Rui and said.
"Well, nice to work with. Chen Rui took the jade bottle and said with a smile.
"Then take your leave!" the man didn't want to stay any longer after completing the deal, as if he had something important, and after greeting him with a fist, he left through the door behind the darkroom.
"I'm really anxious, he won't be worried about you regretting it. Zhu Xiaolong looked at the figure of the man who was leaving in a hurry, and said lightly.
"Maybe. Chen Rui replied indifferently, anyway, what he wanted was not the elixir inside, just get this jade bottle.
"Alright, let's leave, this exchange doesn't seem to be worth staying any longer. After the jade bottle arrived, Chen Rui seemed to quickly figure out what was special about this jade bottle, so he thought about leaving.
"Okay, it's up to you, it's just that I still haven't found any opportunities to practice!" Zhu Xiaolong was a little disappointed, but he still followed Chen Rui to the back door.
"Two of you, please stay!" Just as Chen Rui and Zhu Xiaolong were about to walk out of the back door of this tavern, a voice came from behind them.
Chen Rui and Zhu Xiaolong stopped when they heard the sound, and then Chen Rui turned his head, only to see the host of the exchange meeting chasing after him.
"Stay!"
"Hmm, what's the matter?" Chen Rui asked lightly as he looked at the old man who had already run in front of him.
"Well, yes, I have a mission here, and I don't know if you two are interested. The refined old man asked straight to the point.
"Mission?Why did you find us alone, this mission should not have been brought up in the tavern. Chen Rui glanced at the person in front of him, and then asked lightly.
"Well, that's right. It is true that this task is not announced in the tavern, because this task is not suitable for everyone. The man seemed to know that Chen Rui was going to ask this, and replied sharply.
"Oh, is it?" Chen Rui was still tepid.
"That's right, because the danger level of this mission is relatively high, and it is only suitable for people who have reached the strength of a medium demon warrior or above, and you are just right. Seeing Chen Rui's indifferent attitude, the old man had no choice but to continue.
"Hey, Lin Rui, don't we just need to practice our hands, this task is just right!" Zhu Xiaolong on the side was a little excited after hearing what the man said, and said to Chen Rui.
Zhu Xiaolong hadn't really had a good fight since he broke through to the middle demon martial artist, and it was just a simple fight with Chen Rui. And since Chen Rui's strength recovered, he has never consulted with Chen Rui again, even if he changes to more powerful exercises and learns secret arts, he doesn't have that idea, because it is purely looking for abuse.
"Don't worry, listen to him first. Chen Rui didn't immediately agree, but looked at the man again and motioned for him to continue.
"That's right, the location of this mission is in the Poison Valley, and the requirement is to hunt a mutant poisonous tiger scorpion and bring its scorpion tail back intact. Rest assured, the pay is abundant. Seeing that Chen Rui was unwilling to let go, the man had no choice but to explain the task in detail.
"Mutant Poisonous Tiger Scorpion?!" Zhu Xiaolong on the side exclaimed in surprise after hearing these words, as if he was very afraid of this thing.
"Is the poisonous tiger scorpion? It's still mutated, then its strength is at least the middle fifth, and it's poisonous, are you sure you can get rid of it?" Hearing the details of the task said by the old man in front of him, Chen Rui was also surprised to ask.
As far as the mid-level demon warriors he saw in the tavern just now, none of them surpassed his own strength, so in other words, no one could face the mutated poisonous tiger scorpion, so did he really have a chance to complete the task?
"Hehe, you don't have to bother, we have our own way to deal with the poisonous threat of the poisonous tiger and scorpion, but the rest will depend on the help of other medium demon warriors. When the old man heard Chen Rui's question, he assured with confidence that it seemed that he had already told many people.
"If you can solve the poison problem, then we can take on this task. Chen Rui stared at the person in front of him carefully for a while, and then agreed.
The person in front of him should not be lying, Chen Rui himself would not be afraid of the poison of the mutated tiger scorpion, after all, his strength is here. Including Zhu Xiaolong, these people didn't know Chen Rui's true strength, he was just worried that Zhu Xiaolong would have a problem, after all, he was only a mid-level demon martial artist, and his strength was not very strong, and it would still be very troublesome if he was poisoned.
"Then it's decided, there are tokens for this mission, as well as the time and place of the gathering, and then we will wait for the two of you. Seeing that Chen Rui agreed, the man showed a happy look on his face, and then took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Chen Rui.
"Okay, I got it. Chen Rui returned lightly and took the bag with his hand.
"Then I'll go back first, please go slowly. The old man's task had been completed, so he arched his hand towards Chen Rui and Zhu Xiaolong and went back.
"Hmm. ”
Then, Chen Rui watched the old man turn around and return to the tavern, and left with Zhu Xiaolong. (To be continued.) )
