Chapter 9: The First Mission
Wang Yicheng smiled bitterly, not to mention twenty spirit stones, in fact, he couldn't even take out a spirit stone, however, he still had hole cards, and he had a snake pill that survived a catastrophe.
"What's the matter, I can't take it out! I'm so poor and I still want to learn other people's alchemy. You know how much it costs to learn alchemy. Not to mention the money to buy the Dan furnace, even the herbal materials consumed for practice are also astronomical. Let's see which Dan master is not from a big family, and without the strong financial support of the family, can he learn alchemy! Therefore, a new disciple should still be practical, don't be too high-minded!"
was reprimanded by this old man, Wang Yicheng just smiled and was about to speak.
Suddenly, a group of people crowded a disciple who looked like a young boy to come to the stall and squeezed Wang Yicheng aside. The boy held the slender waist of a female disciple with one hand, and knocked on the counter with the other.
"Is there a Dan furnace?" the boy asked.
"Yes!" the old man took out the Dan furnace from the counter directly.
"The quality is not high, so let's use it!" the boy frowned and muttered, throwing one hundred and twenty spirit stones on the counter. Turning his head and smiling, he smiled at the female disciple snuggled in his arms and said, "Aya, you use this Dan furnace first, and when there is a good one in the future, I will change it for you." "It turns out that this son is buying a Dan furnace for his good female disciple.
Wang Yicheng sighed in his heart, the son of a big family is rich, and more than 100 spirit stones are spent casually, just to please a female disciple.
After the group walked away, Wang Yicheng continued to ask, "Do you buy items here?"
The old man who was smiling at the rich man just now turned his face and became cold again, as if he had changed a mask.
"Acquisition, what can you new disciples have anything of value?" the old man said disdainfully.
"My friend has a Nedan who has spent a Heavenly Tribulation Snake Demon, and I want to ask how much it is worth?"
"Huh!" the old man suddenly sneered, "Are you making fun of me? The snake demon who has survived a catastrophe is the great demon." Hmph! You know how difficult it is to kill a big demon, the entire mountain gate, not to mention the disciples, even the immortal masters, don't tell me, your friend is an elder. ”
Wang Yicheng suddenly became vigilant in his heart, it turned out that the snake pill was so rare, if he rashly took out the snake pill, I was afraid that it would cause a sensation. It must alarm the immortal master, and even the elders, and interrogation is indispensable when the time comes. This is a big disadvantage for me, a little demon. Thinking of this, Wang Yicheng smiled wryly and walked away.
"Poor boy, delay my time. The old man muttered dissatisfiedly.
Wang Yicheng continued to walk along the stall, and in front of him was a talisman seller. Soon he found the two talismans in his hand in the stall, it turned out that these two talismans were called the Flying Sword Talisman and the Fireball Talisman, both of which were first-class talismans, one with five spirit stones and the other with six spirit stones.
Further forward is the pill stall, this is also the most lively stall, many new disciples are gathered in front of this stall, in addition to the Qi Condensing Pill, the Hemostatic Pill, and the Endurance Pill are all hot-selling pills.
Wang Yicheng took a look at the price, one of the three spirit stones of the Qi Condensing Pill, although it is not expensive, but this pill is a consumable, and the price of long-term use is high, the Hemostatic Pill and the Endurance Pill are two spirit stones.
"Yicheng, you're here, I'm looking for you!" Zeng Wei suddenly appeared in front of Wang Yicheng and happily took his hand.
"Let me introduce you to a few friends, Li Mu, Liu Feifei, Zhang Qingshan, and Zhang Qingyun, they are all new disciples of the third rank this time. Zeng Wei pointed to several teenagers around him to introduce him.
Li Mu is thin and small, with a smile on his face, and he looks very lively. Liu Feifei is the only female disciple, her appearance is just the opposite of Li Mu, she is very tall, her expression is serious, although her appearance is average, but her figure is not bad, her convex and backward body looms in the robe, she is a cold girl. Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingyun are brothers, they both have long narrow cheeks, they are as thin as two bamboo poles, their expressions are wooden, and they don't like to talk.
"I'm coming from the Mission Palace, I took a task to be completed by the team, and there is one person missing, and it's you. Zeng Wei said with a smile.
Wang Yicheng had heard about this mission hall, but he hadn't been there yet. The task hall is a task promulgated by the mountain gate, and any disciple can take over, and there are spirit stones for completing the task. Several disciples he knew went to take over the task, which was to clean the palace, sort out medicinal materials and other chores, and it seemed that they couldn't earn a few spirit stones.
"I know you lack spirit stones, we are all like this, so I took on a somewhat dangerous mission, if it succeeds, each person can get five or six spirit stones!" Zeng Wei said.
"Hey, you didn't say that this friend of yours is a disciple of the Ding lower rank, let him join, it will hold us back. Liu Feifei said unhappily.
"My friend, I will naturally take care of him, you don't have to worry about it!" Zeng Wei Zhengse said.
Wang Yicheng was moved in his heart, he knew that Zeng Wei wanted to help him.
"That's not going to work, we're going to take risks and complete the mission. He has to prove that he can do something, otherwise he will take away our hard-earned spirit stones for nothing, how can this work?" Liu Feifei said again.
Although Li Mu and the Zhang brothers did not speak, they also nodded their heads one after another, expressing their support for Liu Feifei.
Zeng Wei still wanted to fight, but was stopped by Wang Yicheng, and said to Liu Feifei with a smile: "How can you prove it?"
"Well, at the very least, take out a talisman that will help you complete the task, or an elixir to stop bleeding. Liu Feifei said.
"Is this okay?" Wang Yicheng took out the flying sword talisman and shook it in front of her eyes.
Liu Feifei stopped talking when she saw the flying sword rune, in fact, their hole card was just a talisman or elixir.
"Great, it turns out that you also have a bit of wealth!" Zeng Wei let out a sigh of relief, he was originally worried that Wang Yicheng would not be able to take anything!
"I took over this task, so I'll act as the captain first, okay?" Zeng Wei saw that no one objected, and continued: "A tiger appeared on Daqing Mountain, dozens of miles away, attacked pedestrians passing by, and killed several people. Because Daqing Mountain is very close to our mountain gate, the mountain gate issued a task to let our disciples kill this tiger, and the reward is thirty spirit stones. ”
"Do you have to form a team to kill a tiger? Is there anything special about this tiger?" Wang Yicheng questioned.
"Nothing special, just an ordinary beast. However, the area of Daqing Mountain is very large, and this task is difficult to search, maybe it will take a few days to search?" Zeng Wei said.
"The items consumed by the task will be deducted from the thirty spirit stones, and we will divide the rest equally. Zeng Wei said.
Suddenly, Wang Yicheng said, "I will create a trap, maybe we can kill it without consuming the talisman." ”
At this time, several other team members were a little impressed by Wang Yicheng, everyone is poor, and it is naturally better to save spirit stones.
Early the next morning, the five of them went down the mountain and first built a few iron clips in the blacksmith shop at the bottom of the mountain according to Wang Yicheng's drawings. Wang Yicheng has never hunted either, but for an agent who is good at surviving in the wild, setting traps is not a problem.
At noon, the five of them arrived at the foot of Daqing Mountain. Looking up at the mountain, I saw that the blue mountain was very majestic, and it took about a day or two to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Coupled with the fact that the mountains are lush and green, it is very difficult to search the entire mountain and find a single tiger.
"Hehe! You're here too!" suddenly a team came out of the path, also a group of five, led by a tall boy.
"Yang Jian, you have also taken on this task!" Zeng Wei's expression became solemn. Yang Jian was also a third-class disciple, and several members of the group behind him had also seen it.
"Zeng Wei, this mountain is so big! I see that you can't find the tiger even after ten days and a half of searching. Yang Jian said with a grin.
"Do you have a way to find that tiger?" Zeng Wei asked rhetorically.
"Hehe!" Yang Jian patted a young man in a hunting suit on the shoulder behind him, and said with a smile: "This is a disciple of Ding Shang, his family is an Orion, and he knows how to track wild beasts." ”
Zeng Wei and Liu Feifei's faces became very ugly, and no one wanted to run in vain.
Seeing Yang Jian and several team members walking away proudly, Li Mu suddenly whispered: "We can follow them, and when the time comes, we will say that we will find out together." ”
Zeng Wei thought about it, shook his head and vetoed, this will definitely cause dissatisfaction among Yang Jian's team, and when the time comes, if there are casualties, the loss will be great.
"I may have a way, I'll track the beast's droppings. ”
Wang Yicheng's words once again surprised everyone, "Good job!" Zeng Wei patted his good friend on the shoulder, Liu Feifei and others also felt that Wang Yicheng did have some ability, and it was really right to let him join this time.
After a while, Wang Yicheng squatted next to a pile of beast dung, twisted a little with his fingers, sniffed lightly, and said, "This is feline dung, but I'm not sure if it's the tiger's." ”
"Let's track it down first, maybe we can get something!" Zeng Wei said.
So, everyone followed Wang Yicheng to the depths of the woods and came to a place with extremely dense trees. Suddenly, Wang Yicheng stretched out his hands, stopped everyone, and then put a finger to his lips, making a silent motion, everyone immediately knew that he had discovered, although they didn't know how he did it, but still according to his gesture, lightly retreated.
I saw Wang Yicheng arrange the beasts one by one, and then, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it violently into the bushes. I only heard a beast whimper in the bushes, and then a cat-like beast jumped out quickly and pounced on Wang Yicheng.
"Smack!" the beast screamed, and was caught in the forelimbs by the clip.
Zeng Wei and the others pulled out their long swords and rushed over, stabbing the beast to death.
If you look closely, it is indeed a feline beast, but it is not a tiger, it is smaller than a tiger, and its body is full of spots, this is a leopard. No wonder they jump from trees.
