Chapter 130: An Unavoidable Opportunity
How did he find here?
While this question popped up in her mind, Shen Yan hurriedly reined in her previous arrogant posture.
The original action of lifting one leg to the table in front of him and placing his elbow on the joint of the leg has changed to kneading and massaging himself as if the leg is twisted.
The words on his lips immediately explained: "Childe, I want to come back and get something while you're busy." β
"Now that the burden has just been packed, I didn't expect you to come directly to you."
For the time being, it is unclear whether the other party has found any abnormalities.
Let's find a more appropriate reason first.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yan really took out a burden from behind him.
Then he cautiously looked at the guy in front of him, who was obviously different from his previous goal, hoping that things would not be too bad.
His eyes briefly glanced at the interior of the dilapidated house.
A few minutes earlier, he had heard the conversation between the woman and the others.
knew that the other party was actually the boss of that group.
As for the other content of the exchange, he deliberately ignored it.
In the face of such an explanation, he naturally did not deliberately debunk it, but just said: "Since this is the case, then follow me." β
When the words landed, Chen Changying turned around first and took steps in the established direction.
Looking at someone's back, Shen Yan's eyes flashed a trace of helplessness, and after quickly leaving a mark that he needed to go out for a few days, he left here.
A private room in a restaurant with a carved screen and glazed devices around it.
Shen Yan has never been in such a place since she was born in the past eighteen years.
Of course, she doesn't think the food here is any different from the street vendors.
In terms of ingredients, it is very different.
As for the taste, if a person is hungry, everything eaten is fragrant.
And once a person has something on his mind, even if he has two plates of dragon meat in front of him, he has no appetite.
Right now, she falls into the latter category.
The man sitting directly across from him actually brought himself to such a place.
Living at the bottom all the year round, Shen Yan has never believed in pie in the sky.
In terms of appearance, the red mark on his face is good if it doesn't scare people away.
In terms of background and status, he has been crawling all the way, and now he is just taking a few people to eat.
In contrast, this white-robed boy can seem to feel that he has an extraordinary background and an excellent temperament.
And he is also a disciple of the Qingyang Sect.
If the other party had followed his own words, he would have been willing to take her as a slave.
I can still think that I have met a strange person.
So now, after this series of things, the better the man treats her, the more vigilant she will become.
Like that kind of guy who has one set on the surface and another set behind it, it's not like he hasn't seen it.
For example, the son of the second leader of the Hongpeng Gang is usually dressed brightly, but what he does behind his back is very disgusting.
Sitting in his seat, Chen Changying saw Shen Yan's unnatural performance in his eyes.
I guessed what the other party might be thinking.
However, he didn't intend to explain, but took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from the money bag on his waist, as well as a piece of paper, put them on the table and handed them over, and then said:
"There are five kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures written on this piece of paper, you can help me find out the relevant news."
Looking at the silver ticket, a trace of surprise crossed Shen Yan's eyes.
In addition to taking himself as a slave on the surface, the other party really has other things.
However, if you just help find a few heavenly treasures, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
As for why he chose himself.
She glanced up at the other and revisited what had happened.
After a few minutes, I suddenly realized that my deception had already been seen through.
The other party should already know that she is the head snake of Liucheng, so she is looking for herself to do things.
And when the matter is over, he is obviously not ready to have anything to do with people like himself.
Otherwise, it would not have been taken this way.
After figuring this out.
Shen Yan, who had maintained the highest vigilance before, no matter how much a man expressed kindness, would not easily believe it, but at this moment, he let down most of his guard.
While picking up the chopsticks and starting to satisfy his regained appetite, he responded: "Understood, Childe, then how can I contact you then?" β
Seeing the attitude of the woman in front of him, there was a great change between the front and back.
Chen Chang should know that the other party should have sorted out the relevant reasons and put aside his concerns.
Communicating with this kind of person who is more active in mind is such an advantage.
He dipped his finger in the wine, drew a symbol on the table, and said, "If you find relevant news, you can leave this mark in the city." β
"When the time comes, I will take the initiative to find you."
Hearing this, Shen Yan was even more sure that the other party really had some way to find himself easily.
Although she was a little uncomfortable about this, she thought about it again after all, she was an immortal cultivator.
Some of them are far beyond the abilities of mortals like themselves, which is really normal.
She didn't have much qualifications to talk about conditions, and the current results have far exceeded expectations.
So, in the end, I just nodded and continued to enjoy the food on the table.
On the other hand, I saw that the matter had been negotiated.
Chen Changying didn't stay in place for long, and left the private room directly.
Seeing the man walking so crisply, Shen Yan was completely relaxed at this point.
She then picked up the silver ticket worth one hundred taels and carefully verified the authenticity.
After waiting in the house for nearly a quarter of an hour, the maid outside the private room was called.
said that he packed all the remaining meals on the table, and left this luxury restaurant for the first time in his life.
β¦β¦
Familiar inside a dilapidated house.
When Shen Yan walked in from outside, all the brothers had already eaten and drunk.
Ma Qingsheng and the others were a little surprised when they saw their boss come back suddenly.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Shen Yan also knew what this was for.
After all, I just left a mark not long ago, and I need to go out for a few days if I have something.
As a result, it only took more than an hour to turn back again, which was indeed a bit abrupt.
There is no explanation for the specific reasons.
Since the white-robed boy had gone around in a big circle, he specifically avoided her brothers and looked for himself to do things, obviously he didn't want to be involved with each other in the future.
Naturally, she thought the same way.
So just pack those meals and put them on a table.
He explained simply and clearly: "Master, I just went out to take a business and help people find the news of the five kinds of heavenly treasures. They are black Gengjin, black yin vine, hatless water, fire in stone, and nightshade earth. β
"You usually remember to keep an eye on it."
A business related to the treasures of heaven and earth.
Hearing the explanation in their ears, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Even ordinary people like them at the bottom can understand the gold content of the four words "heaven and earth".
In other words, the employer of this business is an immortal cultivator.
Among them, there must be a lot of oil and water to be fished.
When Ma Qingsheng heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Since this is the case, boss, can we do our work today?" β
There was a hint of thought in his eyes.
The job I just mentioned refers to the fact that there will be a negotiation between the Giant Horn Alliance and the Red Peng Gang tonight.
The location was set on the southwestern outskirts of Liucheng.
In this case, in addition to the people of the gang, they will also pay extra to find some other outsiders to strengthen their power.
After all, the people on either side look more and speak more confidently.
This is already the usual practice of the big gangs in Liucheng.
And this is also one of the main sources of income for Shen Yan and his subordinates in the past.
Walking to the top table and sitting down, she glanced at everyone, and then said neatly: "Of course there is work to do, nine out of ten negotiations are war of words." β
"You only need to move your mouth, and each person can get a tael of silver."
"Hurry up and eat and drink less. so as not to delay tonight's affairs. β
Hearing this, everyone stopped talking.
I thought that the boss had found a backer and didn't have to continue to do these chores.
Now it seems that this business is most likely a one-shot deal.
β¦β¦
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the streets of Liucheng.
The shadows of passers-by in the future are stretched obliquely.
Find a good helper and help yourself inquire about the Five Elements Medicine.
Chen Changying, who had no more news for the time being, prepared to return to the Qingyang Sect first.
Also look inside the sect to see if there are any other useful clues.
But as he walked, someone suddenly stopped him behind him.
A small cloth hat and a man's clothes.
When the other party saw that he stopped, his face showed a little joy, and he didn't have time to breathe, so he said, "Chen Chen Gongzi, our shopkeeper said that there is news that you want something." β
Shopkeeper? What do you want?
A puzzle crossed his eyes, and Chen Changying looked at the person again.
Then, a bright light flashed through his mind.
immediately responded: "Are you Xuan Bao Zhai's buddy? β
Nodding, the cloth hat guy took over and said, "Young Master Chen, please come with me." β
With that, he turned and led the way.
Looking at the back, Chen Changying suddenly remembered the easiest route of the system a few hours ago, pointing to Xuan Bao Zhai.
And when he asked about the hateless water.
The reply I got was that it had been sold out the day before.
At that time, I was distracted by the unavoidable cause and effect, so I didn't dig deeper.
Now that he thinks about it, he has obtained two potentially risky evil things for nothing, and he has nothing else to catch.
This is completely inconsistent with the system's previous information prompt style.
Now it seems that there is a follow-up to this matter.
Combing through the relevant information in his mind, he had already followed his guy back to Xuan Bao Zhai.
In front of the counter, the shopkeeper had already hurried a few steps forward the moment he saw the corner of the white robe, and said earnestly: "Chen Gongzi, one of the heavenly and earthly treasure dragon sunflower soil that you asked me to inquire about already has eyebrows. β
"I heard that it once appeared in the southwestern suburbs of Liucheng."
It's not actually about the news of hateless water.
Obviously, he was attracted to Xuan Bao Zhai because of this thing.
In the end, the clue became a different one.
However, it was not a big problem, Chen Changying did not turn around in a hurry, but looked up at the shopkeeper with a restrained face, and asked, "I don't seem to know what the name of the shopkeeper is." β
Hearing this, Sun Qingze's spirits lifted slightly, and he hurriedly replied: "The little one's surname is Sun, and his name is Sun Qingze." β
For this reply, Chen Changying didn't say anything more, but just explained, "Okay, shopkeeper Sun." The remaining few natural treasures are also bothering you. β
Then he walked straight away.
Watching the second generation of Qingyang Sect Immortals walk out of the store like this, Sun Qingze's face showed a burst of ecstasy.
Before, I gave two extremely expensive gifts in a row, and the other party seemed indifferent.
Now that he has given a message, he can actually ask Chen Gongzi to take the initiative to ask his name.
This relationship has finally been hooked up.
Walking on the streets of Xianfang, Chen Changying actually didn't know what the style of nightshade soil was for the time being, but he still decided to go over and have a look first.
At this moment, four mission options popped into his mind.
[Option 1: Leave Liucheng and go to the outskirts northeast of Liucheng.] Completion Reward: Tianluo Fist - Yellow Level Lower Grade Exercises]
[Option 2: Leave Liucheng and go to the suburbs southeast of Liucheng.] Completion Reward: Bigu Dan - Yellow Rank Lower Grade Elixir]
[Option 3: Leave Liucheng and go to the suburbs northwest of Liucheng.] Completion Reward: Yellow Iron - Yellow Tier Lower Grade Refinery Material]
[Option 4: Leave Liucheng and go to the suburbs southwest of Liucheng.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]
οΌοΌοΌοΌ
What do these four options mean when they pop up.
If the easiest route is in the other direction, it can be explained.
But now it is clear to tell yourself that going to the southwestern suburbs is the most correct choice.
But after he learned that the nightshade soil was a southwestern suburb, he planned to go there.
I don't understand what the meaning of this can be.
Half an hour later, he walked out of the city gate and indeed received the relevant system reward.
[Mission option completed, reward: Eye attribute +1]
Then three more mission options popped up.
[Option 1: Exercise your judgment and rely on your personal strength to find where the nightshade soil is. Completion Reward: Ethereal Finger - Xuan-level Lower Grade Exercise]
[Option 2: Ask passers-by to find out the location of the nightshade soil. Completion Reward: Sword of Thorns - Yellow Rank Medium Magic Weapon]
[Option 3: Follow the designated route, and after arriving at the destination, find a piece of land that is usually hard as iron in jet black, but becomes extremely soft when exposed to water.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]
Compared with the option just now, the situation that the system prompts this time seems to be relatively normal.
Chen Changying didn't waste any more time, referred to the roadmap that appeared in front of him, and walked towards the goal.
But it was almost the moment he took a step.
A new mission option has appeared.
[Option 1: Stand still for half an hour.] Completion Reward: Wind Rock - Yellow Rank Lower Grade Refinery Materialγ
[Option 2: Keep going.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]
This is similar to the system information that just appeared in the city.
It's complete nonsense.
From a certain point of view, it can also be considered that the system is deliberately sending attribute points to itself.
Suddenly, Chen Changying remembered that he had had a similar experience in the past.
It's just that it was a repeat task option at the time.
This time, it has been changed to simplify the mission options.
However, mission options appear frequently in the past and in the present.
In other words, it should be that Zhou Yuan has made some new breakthroughs.
With this in mind, he called up the real-time update information of the protagonist Zhou Yuan.
[The protagonist Zhou Yuan, his physical injuries have recovered. γ
[I just took Huang Yuandan, and now I have broken through to the foundation building period. γ
[Now I am planning when to take the Enlightenment Dao Pill, comprehend the Dao rhyme, and improve my cultivation qualifications. γ
Senior Brother Zhou has reached the completion of the foundation building period.
In contrast, he is only in the early stage of foundation building.
Although this is because he is deliberately suppressing the realm.
If you want, you can break through the middle stage of foundation building at any time, and then use Huang Yuandan to achieve the late stage of foundation building.
In this way, there is not much disparity between the realms of the two.
But in fact, the two of them are several small realms apart on the surface.
In addition, the fate of the two sides is accelerating, and the protagonist Zhou Yuan is obviously rapidly improving his strength.
Therefore, under this influence, not only can you not avoid cause and effect, but you will also have an unavoidable opportunity.
Is this an alternative danger and opportunity?
After clarifying this point, Chen Changying should no longer wonder why the situation in the system is like a joke.
On the way that followed, he encountered a dozen mission options in total.
As long as he still follows the road map and looks for nightshade soil, he can complete the relevant tasks by the way.
Therefore, while arriving at his destination, he finally had an attribute that broke through the third order of mortal products.
γAttribute Listγ
[Eye: Spirit Product 1st Order (0/100) - Copy (Improves Eyesight, Visual Movement Analysis, and Sees the Flow of Reiki)]
[Ear: The third order of mortal products (13/30) - distinguish between true and false words (hearing improvement, understand animal language)]
[Mouth: Mortal Rank 3 (9/30) - Dialogue with Spirit Animals (Tongue flexibility is enhanced, can imitate different sounds)]
[Nose: Fanpin 3rd Order (14/30)-Thousand Miles Tracking (Adapting to Strong Stimulating Odors and Improving the Sense of Smell)]
[Muscles and bones: Mortal third-order (22/30) - copper skin and iron bones (strength can carry the tripod, move like a dragon)]
After the third order of mortal products, there is the first order of spiritual products.
And the newly unlocked ability of the eye attribute is to copy.
Compared to the previous ability, I feel that there has been a huge improvement.
In the next second, there were still three mission options in front of him.
[Option 1: Carefully compare the difference between nightshade soil and ordinary soil.] Completion Reward: Danyang Fist - Yellow Level Lower Grade Exercises]
[Option 2: Take a portion of the nightshade soil and ordinary soil away.] Completion Reward: Slash - Yellow Rank Superior Magic Weapon]
[Option 3: Dig out the nightshade soil in front of you and take it away.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]
In the case that he can only choose one of the three, Chen Changying is definitely more inclined to choose attribute points.
Obviously, the gap between himself and the protagonist Zhou Yuan on paper is still very large.
The system continues to give chance.
In the absence of water, the nightshade soil is as hard as an iron plate.
So, it took almost no effort.
He dug it up in one piece.
At this point, one of the five elements of medicine has finally arrived.
Slowly breathing a sigh of relief, Chen Changying looked at the three task options that appeared in front of him again.
All you have to do is stand up straight.
The system reward will appear directly in time.
[Quest Reward Completed, Reward: Bone Skin +1]
There was almost a half-minute break before the new mission options were revealed.
[Option 1: Rest in place for a few minutes.] Completion Reward: Light Luo Fan - Yellow Rank Lower Grade Magic Weapon]
[Option 2: Turn around and return to Qingyang Sect.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]
[Option 3: Go to the scene of the brawl in the southeast direction, two kilometers away.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]
The business is done.
After the previous simplistic mission, Chen Changying subconsciously prepared to leave the place and return to the Qingyang Sect.
As a result, he took a closer look and found out.
This time the system information does not seem to be completely in vain.
In that place to the southeast, it was as if something had happened.
Thinking of this, he showed his gaze to the extreme, and turned his head to look over there.
Among the shadows of the trees, there are countless figures.
There were clearly two groups of people, each armed with a weapon, and shot at each other's bodies.
If it's just a normal fight, the system shouldn't prompt you.
Without looking away, he glanced more closely.
Then I found that there were several familiar figures in the crowd.
Shen Yan, and her brothers.
Judging from the situation at the scene, they are now in danger, and even some of their companions have been injured and are trying to find a way to get out of the predicament.
Seeing this scene, Chen Changying was actually a little puzzled.
He first took a fancy to these people, because he didn't think they were the kind of people who liked to cause trouble.
As a result, this is the case.
sighed lightly, since it has been encountered, it is impossible to see death without help.
He quickly leaned over to that side.
Then he stopped in a corner that was not easy to detect, and with the wicker as a sword, he easily dealt with the enemy in front of Shen Yan and them through the Aerial Sword Technique.
There was no turning back, no pause.
Shen Yan and the others, who were no longer hindered, hurriedly fled in the direction away from the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, Chen Changying shook his head, and didn't bother to care about what was going on.
He's already done it once in secret.
Now is also the time to return to the Qingyang Sect, and by the way, find an opportunity to verify the new ability of his eye attributes.
Whew-whew-
Panting heavily, Ma Qingsheng and the others felt a sense of happiness for the rest of their lives.
They never imagined that it would be different from the past negotiations.
This time the movement is so big.
I don't know what's going on in the back, and the group of Hongpeng Gang people who stopped in front of them suddenly fell to the ground.
This gave them a chance to escape.
Holding his arm that had been stabbed twice, one of the young men in straw sandals grinned in pain and said, "Boss, this time it's like this." There should be more than one or two pieces of silver per person. β
However, when Shen Yan heard this, her face looked a little solemn.
She was silent for a long time, and then said: "I just saw that the son of the second head of the Hongpeng Gang was directly killed. β
The expressions of the people who were still glad to be able to escape instantly froze.
No wonder some people around me seem to be crazy.
If that's the case, it's really too big.
Shaking everyone's reactions, Shen Yan continued to speak, "Ma Qingsheng, don't go back to that broken house for the time being." Take the rest of the brothers and take refuge in our alternate gathering place. β
"By the way, I also picked up Lao Feng's daughter."
Hearing this, Ma Qingsheng, who was named, nodded cautiously.
Immediately afterward, another inquiry sounded, "Boss, do we still need our money?" β
There was a slight annoyance in her tone, and Shen Yan glared fiercely at the person who spoke up just now, "When is it, still thinking about money." β
"Didn't you hear what I said earlier, the son of the second leader of the Hongpeng Gang is dead! He's dead, and you think what's going to happen next. β
Faced with this, the former brothers were dumbfounded.
But he still asked in a whisper, "If you don't have money, what will happen to Lao Feng's daughter's medicine next month." β
The anger in his heart dissipated a little, and Shen Yan said vaguely: "I still have some balance here." You don't have to worry about the rest. β
β¦β¦
Inside the brightly lit hall.
Rows of ancient pear wood tables and chairs, and relief murals on the walls all highlight the luxury of this room.
However, in the middle of the hall, there was a corpse covered with a white cloth and no longer breathing.
A middle-aged man with a beard looked at his dead only son with regret on his face.
His fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were bloodshot.
It wasn't until a full quarter of an hour later that he spoke, word by word: "Whoever has received money from the Giant Horn Alliance today and stood for them." Give me a spare to find out, and I'll let them bury my son! β
Faced with such an order, a gang manager hesitated for a moment, and finally reminded: "Second master, there is obviously someone behind this matter today." β
"In order to bring us into a bigger conflict with the Giant Horn Alliance."
The follow-up words have not yet had time to be finished.
The bearded middle-aged man had already interrupted in a cold tone: "I know, so I just asked you to go to those outsiders who paid for the Giant Horn Alliance." β
"As for the real people behind the scenes, the old man will definitely not let go."
With that, he slapped directly at the pear wood table beside him.
In an instant, the table turned into a pile of sawdust.
This hand alone has at least the strength of the late stage of the Qi refining period.
Because I'm worried about this part of the content, the 4K words look more watery.
So I just put it together and added a chapter of 6.6K words.
