Chapter 62: The Strange Old Man
"I have been commissioned to deliver a letter to you. Gu Ye said that Yin came to mean it, and he was right, he was sent at the request of an elite disciple.
"Come in!" The old man's voice sounded, Gu Ye couldn't help but shudder, why did there was a trace of invisible coercion in this voice!
However, Gu Ye still obediently pushed the door open, and the decoration in the room made Gu Ye's eyes widen. What kind of room is this? The dilapidated windows, which I didn't see clearly when I was outside, only to see the inside did I realize that it was unbearable, is this a place where people live? Moreover, it stinks so much that it is not a place for people.
"Do you hate this place too?"
Hearing this, Gu Ye looked up at the person sitting on the bed, it was a thin skinny old man, he was sitting quietly in the corner at this time, staring at Gu Ye with dim eyes. The protruding cheekbones are topped by a vicissitudes of skin. The weather-beaten face was covered with wrinkles that could trap flies, and a pair of distracted eyes under the wrinkled forehead slowly emitted light, cloudy but deep, revealing a mysterious attraction.
"Another little ghost who came to explore. The old man flipped over weakly, and he waved his hand towards Gu Ye, "It seems that you have been deceived, the old man doesn't believe that anyone will come to visit at this time, I received your letter, tell her, don't waste your strength on me." β
"But, old man, you don't look good at all. Gu Ye didn't give up, he looked at the old man's skinny back and took a deep breath.
"Hmph! The state is not good, it is still like this, the old man will not be fooled again, you can go wherever you come from!" That's it, the old man paused, and said, "Let's go! Don't let me drive you out, no one looks good at that time." β
"But..."Gu Ye still wanted to say something, but when he saw the old man's back, he still swallowed the question in his heart, he took a deep look at the old man, then put the letter on a shabby table, and then closed the door.
What Gu Ye didn't know was that a few seconds after he left, the old man turned his head to look at the direction of the letter, then exhaled a long breath and shook his head helplessly. "Creation makes people!"
...
"Teacher, what do you think of that old man. Gu Ye summoned Qi Xing out and asked.
"I can't see through this person, I can only say, don't look at the meridians in his body that are broken now, but there is a shocking momentum on his body, and I can only say that this old man's previous strength is unfathomable. Qi Xing said his conjectures and what he saw one by one, he was also taken aback when he saw this old man just now, this old man's strength gave him a feeling of being overwhelmed by a mountain, so he gave the words "unfathomable".
Gu Ye said: "The person who can get such an evaluation from the teacher doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, behind that old man, there must be a bitter history, which made him like this." β
"On the Tianwu Continent, don't underestimate any opponent. Looks like you're interested in that person. Qi Xing stared at Gu Ye and said.
"Yes, let me help him regain his desire for cultivation. Gu Ye clenched his fists, if there were people around him now, what he saw was Gu Ye waving his fists alone, because, Qi Xing was not visible to everyone, and no one in this Ling Tian City could do it.
"Then I wish you success!" Qi Xing also smiled, Gu Ye could burn such a fighting spirit, as his teacher, he was very pleased.
As they spoke, the door to the Mission Hall had arrived.
I have to say that the dilapidated place looks like a wooden house, which also makes Gu Ye feel a little more sympathetic to the house where the old man lives.
There are three words written on a wooden board, which also makes Gu Ye a little more curious about this mission hall, it stands to reason that there is a certain fee for releasing tasks here, according to the frequency of Lingxiao Academy's release of tasks, it is impossible for his faΓ§ade to be like this!
Walking into the task hall, Gu Ye also saw the whole picture inside, the space inside was relatively large, there was a wall, divided into four areas, the yellow-level task was at the bottom, the heaven-level task was at the top, and the entire wall was pasted with a task list.
Gu Ye also came today to earn some gold coins, the previous accommodation and food and clothing made his original plate almost wrap around the flowers, and now he only has almost three gold coins on him, which is far from enough.
Gu Ye's gaze looked up from the bottom, there were the most yellow-level tasks, basically some tasks for picking medicinal herbs, and the remuneration was also low, so that people didn't have any motivation, and the most expensive yellow-level task was only ten gold coins, and the lowest one was a gold coin task.
Looking up further, Gu Ye fixed his gaze on the area of the Xuan-level task, and the price also rose from a few gold coins to one hundred gold coins to five hundred gold coins, as for the above-level tasks, they were not something that Gu Ye could do now, those were all tasks that required the cultivation of the Cave Heaven Realm to receive, although Gu Ye's current strength was almost the same as the strength of the Cave Heaven Realm, it was obviously impossible to receive the ground-level task.
At this moment, Gu Ye inadvertently fixed his gaze on the heaven-level task bar, and actually had a heaven-level task on the list.
It's something you don't usually see. Gu Ye looked at the only task in the heaven-level task bar, and the reward column on the sign above actually said 300,000 gold coins, what was it that was so valuable.
Well?
"I didn't expect to be so lucky, but unfortunately I couldn't finish it. An elite disciple of the Lingxiao Academy said.
"Isn't it? Normally, these tasks are all completed by some core disciples, but it is not that this is not done by one person, it takes four or five core disciples to form a team to complete this task. Another ordinary disciple also sighed.
Hearing this, Gu Ye put his eyes on the task column, only to see that it was written: Ask for a Thousand Bone Ice Lotus, I urgently need medicine, I am a potion master, I owe you a favor to those who get the Thousand Bone Ice Lotus, and give you 300,000 gold coins. Hint: Someone has seen a colorful glow in the Ten Thousand Ice Cave, and according to ancient books, this is a sign of the appearance of the Thousand Bone Ice Lotus.
"300,000 gold coins, all for me to eat and wear for the rest of my life, and a potion master's favor, this deal is really cost-effective. β
Just imagine, a potions master who needs a Thousand Bone Ice Lotus and gives 300,000 gold coins casually will be of low rank?
"It's a good deal. Gu Ye touched his chin and said slowly.
"No, don't pull me when you go to die, the Thousand Bone Ice Lotus has lived for a thousand years, and there must be a Yuan Beast guarding it, if you want to commit suicide, don't choose such a task!" Gu Ye's words frightened Qi Xing, after all, Gu Ye's death, he was also scattered! This is a typical corpse with two lives!
