Shen Luo reached out to take the jade box, and after opening it, he saw a red piece of wood about a foot long lying in the box. The wood grain was fine, and the surface emitted a red light like a flame. At the same time, a burst of scorching heat hit his face.
"Yes, it's the Fire Scale Wood! Thank you very much." Shen Luo thanked with a smile.
"These are what you deserve. I wonder what mission Mr. Shen plans to do next? I can recommend one or two for you." The middle-aged man asked with a smile.
"Not for now, I have some other things to deal with." Shen Luo shook his head.
Although the ghost-catching missions issued by the government were well rewarded, he had no shortage of fairy jades for the time being, and his cultivation was too low. Even with the Thunder Talisman, the risk of carrying out the mission was still high. It would be safer to take it easy and practice behind closed doors while waiting for the Horse-Faced Ghost to summon him.
According to his speculation, the job of the Soul-Catching Horse-Faced Demon was most likely to be to exorcise ghosts for the government, and the two were not in conflict.
A trace of disappointment flashed across the middle-aged man's face, but he didn't say anything and quickly said goodbye and left.
"The Bai family seems to want us guests to do more tasks. It seems that the ghost-exorcism mission issued by the government this time may involve some other things." Shen Luo returned to the house, guessing secretly in his heart.
However, these things had little to do with him, so he didn't think much about it. Looking at the jade box in his hand, a smile appeared on his face again.
"We have already got the Fire Scale Wood, which is the main material. Next, in addition to finding a spiritual fire that can match the main material, as long as we gather a few other auxiliary materials, we can try to refine the Pure Yang Sword Embryo."
It's a pity that the spiritual fire is hard to find, and the other auxiliary materials are equally difficult to gather. He has asked the shopkeeper Ma to keep an eye out for him, but there is still no news.
Shen Luo shook his head, put the jade box into the stone box, and planned to continue practicing.
At this moment, he felt a heat on his waist and took out something from his arms. It was the communication token given to him by Horse-Faced Guardian.
"It's here so soon! It seems that I can't practice in peace until the ghost plague in Jianye is eliminated." Shen Luo secretly complained to himself, then he concentrated on looking at the object in his hand carefully.
The side of the magic card with runes engraved on it turned as black as ink, and a line of small white characters appeared on it:
Come to Liugong Bridge as soon as possible after nightfall.
"Liugong Bridge seems to be in the west of the city." Shen Luo's eyes flashed slightly and he muttered to himself.
It is said that this bridge has a long history and was named after Mr. Liu Gong, a great Confucian scholar in the previous dynasty. Bai Xiaotian had been there before when he took him around Jianye City, so he had some impression of it.
"I remember seeing this place name on the list." While thinking, he stood up and went to the accounting office.
At this time, the sun was about to set, and most of the guests who went out to execute people had not returned. Only three or two were here. As for the others, they were all members of the Bai family who came to watch the excitement.
Shen Luo came to the front of the crowd, looked at the task list and browsed it quickly.
"really!"
His gaze stopped at a certain place on the list. The corresponding mission location was near Liugong Bridge. The content was that an abandoned temple near the ancient bridge was haunted by ghosts at night and had injured many passers-by.
The reward for this task is fairy jade, a total of thirty pieces. It is one of the tasks with the highest rewards on the list, and it seems that it is probably quite difficult.
