"Exterminate the giant-eyed insects that infested the mountains behind Mingshan Town, the Ten Spirit Stones. It's too difficult, and I don't know how to attack surname spells. ”

"Looking for the dog of Zhang Yuanwai's house in Mingshan Town, Wuling Stone. I don't have the energy to do that. ”

"Investigate the ancient mansion in Green Water Town, twenty spirit stones. This must be extremely dangerous, so I'm not going. ”

......

After another two hours, this little Chen Mu still didn't find a suitable task.

"It seems that it is much more difficult than I imagined, and there are too few tasks that I can do at a level that I am not even at the level of condensation. Chen Mu secretly complained to himself.

Then Chen Mu found a place to sit down at the foot of the wall, he had to sort out his thoughts, if he couldn't find a suitable one, he could only try his luck tomorrow.

"Huh, this is?" Chen Mu unexpectedly found a small stone tablet at the foot of the wall, and there was a reward of three hundred spirit stones, "What kind of task is such a high reward?" Chen Mu took a closer look, and it turned out that he was doing chores in Shangang Peak.

"Shangang Peak? I remember, then it's next to the peak of Qitian Peak, and there are also monks from Xuanqing Sect there? No matter, I took this task first, that kind of inaccessible place is the purpose of my visit this time!" Chen Mu was already thinking happily, only to see him lean the Xuantie card against this small stone tablet, and the task on the stone tablet suddenly disappeared, and slowly showed the location and contact person of the mission, and there was even a brief route map.

When Chen Mu memorized the information, he took down the Xuantie card, and then the words on the stone tablet suddenly disappeared again, showing only the name of the task, as well as Chen Mu's name and countdown time.

"Let's go to Shangang Peak tomorrow to report, there is only one year left, and there are a lot of things I have to do in this year!" Chen Mu happily encouraged himself

Soon after Chen Mu left, the stone tablet recording his mission seemed to have become a little larger.

The next day, Chen Mu put all the things in the room, including the furniture, into the storage blackiron plate, and kowtowed a few times before the fire left the door before setting off.

When he went down the mountain, he deliberately went to look for the black grass, but unfortunately he found nothing.

According to the route shown on the stele, Chen Mu arrived at the foot of Shangang Peak before the sun went down, and there was a fairly regular wooden house here, which was the registration point of Shangang Peak.

"Under Chen Mu, meet the senior Wang...... Under Chen Mu, meet Senior Wang!" Chen Mu called the old man for a long time, but no one answered him.

Chen Mu was not too rigid in doing things, he saw that no one agreed, so he pushed open the door and entered the house. As soon as he entered, he began to admire his own foresight, for the hut had no furniture at all, it was hollow, only a table and two chairs, not even a bed.

"Didn't you say that after receiving the task, the stele will automatically notify the task publisher, didn't Senior Wang receive the news? How can this kind of room be inhabited!" Chen Mu said to himself with a little complaint.

"Who said you can't live anymore? Am I not asleep? A person actually stood up from the ground behind Chen Mu, which surprised Chen Mu a lot, there was obviously no one just now. This person didn't seem to use the technique of rejuvenation, and he looked at least seventy or eighty years old, with a long white goatee, and he looked like a fairy wind and bones.

"Meet the senior Wang, the younger generation is ignorant and offensive!" Chen Mu could only apologize stupidly.

"You are Chen Mu, a child who has not yet reached the condensation period dares to come to take over my task, Xuanqingmen is really lacking in successors. "This senior Wang actually saw Chen Mu's cultivation at a glance.

"Back to my predecessors, it is true that I have not reached the condensation period, but I promise that I will be able to get started within a month of the miscellaneous tasks you issued, otherwise I will go back and revoke the task. Chen Mu confidently assured.

"Well, I hope you can be better than the people who took on this task before. My task is actually very simple, that is, you help me take care of this mountain. Senior Wang said solemnly.

"Dare to ask my seniors, how can I take care of the entire mountain with the strength of one person?" Chen Mu also asked calmly.

"The boy was really brave enough not to be intimidated by this task. The reason why this mountain is called Gang Peak is because there is an ancient tree on the mountain, called "Gang Tree". No matter how you cut it down, as long as there is a trace of roots left, it will soon grow into a big tree, but this regrown tree is only about three feet high, and then it grows slowly, so it will not pose much of a threat to the mountain. Senior Wang took out a gourd out of nowhere and said while drinking.

"Why does Gangshu pose a threat to Shangang Peak?" asked Chen Mu.

"These three major peaks in the territory of Xuanqing Gate are all places with abundant spiritual energy, have you ever wondered why Xuanqing Gate only excavated caves in Qitian Peak? Of course, it is because the other two peaks are not suitable for cultivation at all. The Gang tree on the Gang Peak of this mountain feeds on the aura all year round, the leaves eat the qi, and the roots eat the mountain spirit. In addition, the vitality is extremely strong, and how many capable people have tried to get rid of it without success, and now it is divided into two, two into four, and four into eight...... It has grown all over the mountain, and if it is not controlled, the spiritual veins of the entire mountain peak will be exhausted, and the consequences will inevitably greatly affect the Xuanqing Gate, and it will also cause me, the mountain guard, to have a bad time. Senior Wang paused at this point, and then continued to introduce the specific work.

"So your task is to cut down the tree every day, and although it is very vigorous, it is very easy to cut down. No matter how much you cut, you only need to hand over two thousand catties of wood to me every month, and I will pay you ten spirit stones to support your cultivation, of course, after a year, you can still get the task bonus of three hundred spirit stones. What do you think?" Senior Wang touched his beard and smiled at Chen Mu after speaking, the conditions he opened didn't seem to be very harsh, and there were extra spirit stones to earn.

No matter how difficult the task is, I will continue to do it for a full year. Chen Mu has long been happy in his heart, and this kind of environment is exactly what he is looking for everywhere.

"Okay, here's a dark iron axe, you can use it, I have more important things to do, so I'll go first, and at the beginning of each month we will hand over the wood next to this house, don't delay." Senior Wang put the axe on the table and left the wooden house, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In fact, Chen Mu still had a lot to ask, and he didn't even know what this gang tree looked like. He shrugged, put away his axe, tidied up the house, and fell asleep wistfully.

The next day, the sun was shining. Chen Mu went out with an axe, and he was comfortable swaying all the way, but he looked east and west, and where there were shadows of gang trees, they were all ordinary and common trees.

"Didn't Senior Wang say that there are all over the mountains and fields? Why are there no ones? Could it be that I heard it wrong?" Chen Mu was a little depressed and began to recall what Senior Wang said yesterday.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't have a clue, Chen Mu simply didn't want to continue to climb up, this peak without a mountain road was quite difficult to walk, but it was still not a problem for a monk like Chen Mu.

In the evening, Chen Mu didn't know where he had climbed, but he still couldn't see the top of the mountain.

"This mountain is much higher than Qitian Peak, and the tree here should be a gang tree. Chen Mu looked at the big trees with circle-shaped patterns around him and thought to himself.

The bark of these trees feels soft to the touch, and the patterns around it are like a layer of embroidered curtains.

"I can't go back tonight, so let's cut one down first. Chen Mu thought about it, so he swung the dark iron axe and slashed it.

After a while, a gang tree about three feet or so was cut down, and it was surprisingly easy, Chen Mu went to test the weight again, it was okay, not too light, but only about fifty catties.

"Alas, it's really not a good errand, a tree of this height is only fifty catties, and it takes forty trees to complete the task, but it takes a day to transport it down the mountain, how can such a tall tree be transported down the mountain?" Chen Mu felt that the promise was too simple, and Senior Wang might just wait to see him laugh.

Chen Mu found another gang tree nearby, climbed to the top of the tree in three or two clicks, found a spacious branch and lay down, he didn't know if there were any strange beasts on this mountain, so he decided to spend the night on this tree.

"Such a light trunk can still support my weight, it is really an incredible ancient tree, no wonder Senior Wang has a demand for this kind of tree. Chen Mu slept on the soft trunk of the tree, happily thinking about his life in the coming year.

Early the next morning, I heard Chen Mu's scream, "I obviously cut it down, why did it grow back again!" Chen Mu was standing under the tree that he had cut down yesterday and screamed in surprise, there were no broken branches on the ground, and there were no traces of axe cutting on the tree.

Then he cut it down again, and dragged the trunk far away. On this day, he cut down a total of 40 trees, and completed the work of the month.

At night, he did not sleep, his eyes were fixed on the trunks of the felled Gang trees under the trees, and he did not move until dawn.

In the early morning of the third day, Chen Mu returned to the stump to take a look, and was surprised again, all the stumps were growing small saplings more than a foot high, and they seemed to be growing rapidly.

By the fourth day, all the trunks that had been cut down and dragged far away were still there, but the small sapling at the stump had grown exactly the same as before.

"Hehe, I finally figured out the growth cycle of this tree, and then I have to think about how to transport this tree down the mountain. In this kind of uninhabited place, Chen Mu was talking to himself again, just like in the white room.

In the next ten days, Chen Mu explored the surrounding environment, and finally found a relatively hidden mountain stream, and this stream happened to lead to the small lake next to the wooden house at the bottom of the mountain.

He spent another ten days building a barrier at the mouth of the stream to intercept the wood, and thus tossed the most convenient and fast way to transport the trees.

In less than two days, more than 40 pieces of wood had been piled up next to the wooden house, which must have exceeded 2,000 catties. Chen Mu kept an eye on himself, he didn't plan to tell his seniors his handling method, so as not to increase his workload, and he didn't plan to cut down a few more trees, so that the high-profile task would cause more trouble.

There is another thing that bothered Chen Mu, Senior Wang asked him to cut down a Gang tree that was more than three zhang high and had never been cut down, but he had not found a tree that was significantly higher than three zhang.
