Volume 1 Cultivating Immortals Again Chapter 12 Simple Task
"You planted this?" The disciple in charge of handling the task looked at Wang Mou who submitted the task with a surprised expression.
"Yes, but by a small means. Wang Mou gave the disciple a look you know.
At this time, Wang Mou also regretted it in his heart, he had known that he had put the spirit plant here for two more days, all because the happy events came one after another, so that Wang Mou forgot that planting the spirit plant would not be so fast.
Could it be that the finished spirit plant that was bought in a hurry to complete the index, no, it's only the middle of the year, and the target will be completed at the end of the month, strange. The disciple in charge of the task looked at Wang Mou with a puzzled expression, but it was not easy to ask clearly, and after checking that Lingzhi did meet the requirements, he handed Wang Mou the reward for the task.
Fortunately, I didn't dig deeper. Wang Mou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, if the exercise of grass and trees is exposed, it is difficult for him to explain, it can't be said to be a family heirloom, if the family has such a good exercise, what is he doing here.
Wang Mou smiled at the disciple and was about to leave, but just as he was about to step out of the door, he heard Wan Fazi say in his ear: "Old Wang, you go and take a look at the spirit stone wall of the ordinary task, there is a task on it that seems to be quite suitable for you, you come in and take a look, I can't see clearly." ”
Hearing this, Wang Mou hurriedly walked to the spiritual power wall where the ordinary task was issued. Wang Mou looked at the scrolling tasks on it, and didn't find anything that was particularly suitable for him.
"Senior Brother Wang, come here to take on the task. Just as Wang Mou was looking at these tasks, a familiar voice reached Wang Mou's ears. Wang Mou looked back and saw that it was Senior Sister Yunqing who led Wang Mou and Li Tieniu up the mountain.
"I've seen Senior Sister Yunqing. Wang Mou bowed to Senior Sister Yunqing.
"Senior Brother Xiao Wang, I saw you doing something at the Miscellaneous Duty Office just now, and you went to get the miscellaneous task, right? Yun Qing also happened to come to take the task just now, and when he saw that Wang Mou was receiving the payment, he mistakenly thought that he was taking the task, but he also completed five miscellaneous tasks that were known for their troubles in just three days, which was impossible for anyone, so Yun Qing didn't think about it at all.
"Yes, Senior Sister, I just went to pick up a miscellaneous mission. "Where did Wang Mou's naturally happy Yunqing think, after all, he just wanted to take it quietly in the Dragon Swallowing Dao, so he immediately admitted it.
"Senior brother, seeing that you are preparing to take on another ordinary task. This ordinary task is different from the miscellaneous task, basically it is a task that can only be completed by leaving the sect, and some even involve battles, although the difficulty is not high, but you have to choose carefully. Yun Qing carefully introduced to Wang Mou.
"Thank you, senior sister, I have a number. Wang Mou smiled, and his favorability towards this Senior Sister Yunqing suddenly increased a lot.
In addition to talking non-stop, this senior sister is still a very good person. Wang Mou thought so in his heart.
"Lao Wang, choose which lion's mane mushroom picking task. Wan Fazi's voice appeared in Wang Mou's ears again.
Wang Mou looked up at the big screen, and there was indeed a task of picking three catties of lion's mane mushrooms. Because of his extreme trust in Wan Fazi, Wang Mou accepted this task without hesitation.
"Hmm, the task of picking lion's mane mushrooms, this task is okay, but lion's mane mushrooms generally grow on trees, can you do it, junior brother?" Yun Qing saw that Wang Mou took over this task, like Wang Mou asked, after all, Wang Mou, who has been quenched by spiritual power, looks like he has thin skin and tender meat, and he doesn't look like he can climb trees.
"It's okay, senior sister, I used to take the path of physical cultivation, and climbing a tree is not a problem for me. Let's not talk about Senior Sister, I'll go to confirm the task first. With that, Wang Mou said goodbye to Senior Sister Yunqing, turned around and walked towards the office where ordinary tasks were handled.
The one who dealt with the ordinary task was an elder, who looked like he was forty or fifty years old, and after looking at Wang Mou's task, he handed him a Qiankun bag.
"Handing over three catties of lion's mane mushrooms within a week is considered to have completed the task, and if the quantity is insufficient or overdue, it will be treated as uncompleted. This Qiankun bag is used to hold lion's mane mushrooms when you turn it in, you know. The middle-aged elder knew that he was a newcomer when he saw Wang Mou's face, and specially reminded him of two sentences.
"The disciple understands. Wang Mou took the Qiankun bag, turned around and left.
Looking at Wang Mou's departing figure, the middle-aged elder scratched his head and muttered to himself, "I always feel as if I forgot to tell him something, what is it?"
The middle-aged elder, who was thinking hard, suddenly patted his head. "By the way, a while ago, there was a demon cultivator who escaped into the Beicheng Forest, in case he went there to pick lion's mane mushrooms, it would be over. ”
The middle-aged elder hurriedly ran out to look for Wang Mou, but Wang Mou's desire to complete the task was burning at this time, this was already running to the mountain gate, where could the middle-aged elder find Wang Mou's figure.
After searching for a circle and still not finding it, the middle-aged elder felt a little remorseful.
"Well, how could such an important thing be forgotten. I hope that this disciple Jiren has his own natural appearance, and don't go to the forest in the north of the city. Alas, how could I forget......" The middle-aged elder fell into self-reproach.
At this time, Wang Mou had already descended the mountain and came to Lanjin County, looking for a deserted street and alley to quietly call Wanfazi out.
"Lao Wan, what are you asking me to do with this task. I don't think it's too easy, and I've found several tasks that take less time than this. Wang Mou said to Wan Fazi.
"Hehe, you don't know. Wan Fazi smiled smugly, "I remember that when I was still alive, there was a monkey king near this county town, and his cultivation seemed to be close to seeking the way. What is the use of the lion's mane mushroom that grows in the place where there is the Monkey King of the Seeking Realm, you should know it in your heart. ”
Hearing this, Wang Mou's eyes instantly lit up. Lion's mane mushroom is a herb that generally only grows in places where there are monkeys, if it is just an ordinary monkey, it only has a general healing effect, and the lion's mane mushroom that grows near the place where there are or has been monkeys and monsters living in the realm above the realm of the spirit realm will naturally produce a special substance that can help monks break through the realm without any side effects, and the lower the realm, the stronger the effect.
"Lao Wan, where did the monkey king you said live. Wang Mou asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's in the northern part of the county. ”
"Alright, then let's head north. Wang Mou rushed to the north of the county in high spirits.
When you come to the northern part of Lanjin County, there is indeed a forest, and the dense forest occupies almost the entire northern part of the county. Wang Mou was overjoyed when he saw this, and entered the jungle in a few steps.
Lion's mane mushroom is a medicinal herb that generally grows on a tall tree, Wang Mou found a towering tree, his footwork changed, and he went up the tree in a few steps. Wang Mou was lucky, and the first tree on it had the presence of lion's mane mushrooms.
Wang Mou took off the lion's mane mushroom, wiped his clothes slightly, and then ate the lion's mane mushroom into his stomach, and suddenly felt a magical force impacting the barrier of Wang Mou's cultivation. It's faint, but it's there.
"There's play. Wang Mou was overjoyed, jumping up and down from tree to tree like a monkey, looking for traces of lion's mane mushrooms.
"I'm so happy, at most there is one more pound of lion's mane mushrooms, and my cultivation will be able to break through the condensation realm and step into the realm of refinement, hahaha. Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Mou smiled presumptuously.
"Lao Wang, you used to be a person who proved the realm, how could you step into an unearthly realm to make you so happy. Wan Fazi appeared beside Wang Mou, and complained to Wang Mou helplessly.
"This is different, the detached realm that I once stepped into was an ordinary detached realm, but now it is different, this detached realm, maybe it will really become an immortal. Yo, there's also a lion's mane mushroom, hahaha, I'm one step closer to getting rid of the fan. Wang Mou didn't care about his image at all, and smiled unscrupulously. Although there was no one around, Wan Fazi still felt that it was too embarrassing to stay with the current Wang Mou, so he sighed and returned to Wang Mou.
It was getting dark, and Wang Mou stopped picking lion's mane mushrooms. Although he wanted to continue picking at this time, after all, the night had an effect on his eyesight, and many wild beasts would also go out to forage for food at night, so Wang Mou had to stop his steps of picking lion's mane mushrooms.
Wang Mou found a flat ground and estimated the lion's mane mushrooms he picked, which was about half a catty.
"It's still not enough. Wang Mou sighed, put these lion's mane mushrooms into the Qiankun bag, and cultivated on the spot, for a person like him who was so eager to step into the realm of detachment, he didn't want to miss every second of cultivation time.
Just as Wang Mou was concentrating on cultivation, an inconspicuous black light flew towards Wang Mou. Although Wang Mou was in a state of cultivation, he was still paying attention to the outside environment, and when he found the flying black light, he hurriedly got up, and he was able to avoid the black light flying towards him.
"What people. Wang Mou shouted around, silently manipulating the wishful treasure silk to wrap around his hand.
"Lao Wang, behind you. Wan Fazi's voice appeared. Wang Mou immediately turned around when he heard the sound, and a huge shield made of wishful thinking silk instantly blocked in front of Wang Mou.
Only two "dangdang" sounds were heard, and two black needles pierced directly into the giant shield made by the Ruyi Treasure Silk, and it could be seen from the faint black light on it that it was coated with poison.
"Ahem...... That's right, there is even an instantaneous defensive treasure, it seems that he is a rich little friar. A slightly sickly voice came from in front of Wang Mou, Wang Mou put away the wishful treasure silk, and saw a black-robed man standing in front of him, his face was extremely pale, judging from the strength of his black needles, Wang Mou would not be able to cultivate now.
"This fellow Daoist, you and I have never known each other, why did you suddenly take my life. Wang Mou said in a deep voice, and his defensive posture refused to relax for a moment.
"Hehe, it doesn't look like you're here to hunt me down. However, if you meet me, you are unlucky, and you can spare you from dying by leaving your Qiankun bag obediently. The black-robed man's tone was cold and chilling.
"Okay, I've put the bag on the ground, don't take my life. Wang Mou said to the black-robed man in a deep voice.
"Yes, good enough. The black-robed man smiled.
"I've put the bag on the ground, and you're going to keep your promise. Wang Mou slowly squatted down, took out something from his arms, and slowly put it on the ground.
"The young man is good, enough to be on the road, but since you see me, then you can only die. Seeing that Wang Mou was so obedient, the black-robed man did not sneer in his heart, such a stupid monk could actually believe his own words, and when he saw him put down the "Qiankun bag", he suddenly burst out and prepared to kill.
"Fool, do you think I'm going to listen to you? Wang Mou said loudly to the black-robed man, kicked the "Qiankun bag" out, turned around and ran.
The black-robed man hurriedly took the "Qiankun bag", but found that it was just a lion's mane mushroom, and he still took a bite.
"Boy, you dare to trick me!" The black-robed man was furious and hurriedly chased after Wang Mou, who was running away.
Boy, if you don't die tonight, your black grandfather will have your surname. The black-robed man thought angrily in his heart.
