The trading hall is a seven-story tower. The first three floors have been visited by Xu Ziqing, while the fourth floor and above are different from the third floor below.
The fourth layer is a place where the specialists issue tasks so that the monks in the alliance can experience or earn contributions. Once the monks reach a certain bottleneck or need to survive, they will come here. Therefore, this place is also the widest floor in the entire tower.
The fifth floor is the place to record missions. If a monk wants to get a certain resource and can afford a big price, he can post missions there to contribute rewards. Or if a monk has an invincible enemy, he can also post a mission and hire a high-level monk to help. Once this task is confirmed for the management of this layer, it will be released in the fourth layer. It can be said that the fourth and fifth towers are closely related.
The sixth floor is the Treasure Auction Office. At the end of each year, the Sanxiu League will hold an auction where the rare objects will be sold at the price, and the higher price will be the one who gets it.
As for the seventh floor... Just as Xu Ziqing had sensed at the beginning, a powerful monk in the Huayuan period was seated to deter all those who trade in the tower!
Xu Ziqing has limited resources and cannot go to the fifth or sixth floor, but this fourth floor... is a good place for him. It also happened to allow him to test the effectiveness of his practice this year.
At this time, he was standing at the door of the fourth floor, punching his eyes, and saw many monks crowded together, standing alone in front of the mission wall, or hurried out. Some are happy, some are frowning, and some are cautiously watching. All sentient beings can get a glimpse here.
There are eight mission walls in this tower, but the missions are divided into four levels, which are elementary missions, intermediate missions, high-level missions, and difficult missions. The elementary tasks occupy four sides of the wall, two sides of the middle level, one side of the high level, and one side that is difficult to solve.
For monks who have not built a foundation, it is natural to accept more preliminary and intermediate tasks. High-level tasks often require a group of helpers to go together, and difficult tasks... If the foundation has not been built, it is better not to mix. good.
Now Xu Ziqing is standing at the elementary task wall, slowly observing the difficulty of the task, the price, and so on.
Upon closer inspection, Xu Ziqing realized that these tasks were not limited to the release of cultivators in the Sanxiu League.
For example, on the upper left side of the first wall, there is a task of offering a reward for the head of the Xishan bandit. The person who posted it was the county magistrate of Lingshui County under the Xishan Mountain. . If it is converted into a contribution, there will be a contribution of three hundred.
This was indeed an easy task. Because of the verification by a member of the alliance, the bandit leader was actually a cultivator on the third floor of Qi refining. It is no wonder that a mortal's task can enter this scattered repair alliance trading hall.
Xu Ziqing was still waiting and watching. Suddenly, the silk cloth used to record this task ignited silently. He instantly understood that someone had already completed this task.
But the people in the alliance obviously never took over, otherwise the silk cloth will be changed from white to purple, and this task has been removed... Xu Ziqing thought about it a bit and figured it out.
Approximately, this same task is not only offering a reward in the San Xiu League Trading Hall, but in other sects or aristocratic families, it should also be shown.
Recall that when Xu Ziqing was in the Xu family's clan, before Xu Ziqing entered the Baicao Garden to do handyman duties, someone asked him which of the three roads he would choose. Wasn't the first road at that time just to complete the task assigned by the family? It must be similar to the approach in this trading hall.
Xu Ziqing didn't think much about it, and moved his eyes back before watching his other tasks.
There are a lot of tasks at this elementary level, most of which are offered by mortals or low-level cultivators to reward people, and there are quite a few people who seek revenge on their behalf, all of which are killing people. Others are caused by monsters, and they also have to kill them.
After reading all the four walls, he also knew something in his heart.
If you really want to find something, it can be classified as a low-level task, it must not be difficult to find, and it can often be found in many shops, trading offices, etc., without the need to offer a reward. Therefore, it is only necessary to ask for help in such things as revenge and evil that cannot be achieved by one's own strength.
When he was watching, Xu Ziqing suddenly saw a young monk walking quickly, "Shushushu" tore off more than ten pieces of silk cloth on the wall, and then he put it in his arms and walked outside.
The blank space of the silk cloth that was torn off the wall was quickly covered with the same purple silk cloth. That is to say, the young monk took over all these more than ten tasks!
Xu Ziqing couldn't help being astonished. After reading all these more than ten tasks carefully, he came across.
It turned out that these missions were all to remove Tier 1 monsters, but the places where monsters appeared in more than a dozen missions were all in a region southeast of Shangluzhou. The young monk originally wanted to go in that direction. Since the next task is to pick up, ten are also to be picked up. As far as his ability is possible, why not pick it up all at once
Doing so, it really saves trouble.
After reading the low-level tasks, Xu Ziqing didn't want to take the task here.
He now has the eighth level of Qi-refining cultivation base, and this time he is out for more training and preparation for promotion, not entirely for contribution. Therefore, he saw all the low-level tasks, and it didn't help him, so naturally he would not adopt it.
Then he came to the two walls of the Intermediate Mission.
In this mid-level mission, there is no reward for rare plants, and the reason is roughly the same as that of low-level missions. Therefore, the tasks here are mainly divided into two categories.
One type is offering rewards for killing and destroying monsters, and the other type is hired as a guard.
Most of the lives offered here are between the fifth to the eighth level of refining qi. Among them, most of them are devil who do harm to the heavens and the principles. There are also chances. Those who fall into the evil way by the monks of the immortal way can't look back since then. , Has also been suspended on the task list.
As for monsters, they are mostly second-order.
But what Xu Ziqing fancyed was the task of being hired as a guard.
Just because the situation faced by this type of task is more difficult than the first two, and it is not that rigid.
Under normal circumstances, this type of task is set up for the experience of the children of the family. Not only are there masters in the family to support, but also the scattered repair and plundering formations hired, so that they can increase their knowledge and worry about their lives.
In addition, some people enter a dangerous place to fight for a rare thing. At this time, the guard hired just wants to save the life of the employer, without having to fight with their own lives.
Xu Ziqing looked at the Intermediate Task Wall for a long while, and finally chose one.
He stepped forward and took off the brocade.
"Within three days, the Wang Clan of Pinglan County, Shangluzhou, hired eight monks above the seventh level of Qi refining, and accompanied his clan children into the Shaanyan Mountains for two days, with a commission of ten spiritual beads per person and a high level of cultivation. The person has another reward."
The Sanxiu League is the most powerful in Shang Luzhou, but in addition to Shang Luzhou, there are many clans. Among them, the Wang clan can be regarded as a well-known middle-class family. For generations, they can grow a kind of spirit grass called "Shuangwencao". It's not that others can't grow it, but for some reason, the double-grained grass planted by this family is better in appearance and has better medicinal effects.
The Wang clan is also very acquainted. Although he does not rely on any major power, he is very close to the Sanxiu League. Every five years, 50% of the double-grained grass is paid to the Sanxiu League, and the other 20%. Then give gifts to other larger forces, as a personal affection, only 30% is left for the clan's own use. Therefore, after many years, it can take root steadily.
As for why this double-grain grass is so famous? It is because it is the main medicine of Zhujidan.
Whenever a monk reaches the peak of the tenth level of Qi refining, there is only one level left to build a foundation successfully. Since then, he has truly stepped on the threshold of cultivating immortality, which is considered to have broken through the first problem.
However, this level is not so easy to cross. There are so many monks in the world. The foundation building alone has eliminated ninety-nine percent of the monks—in other words, if one person in a thousand can build a foundation, It has been regarded as an incredible chance.
And even those who are expected to build a foundation are not entirely dependent on absorbing the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth. Most of them also rely on external forces.
After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth enters the human body, those with incompatible attributes will be very violent. Normally, because of its small amount, it won't cause any major trouble, but when the foundation is built, it will be troubled.
Unless it is a monk with a single spirit root, they can guarantee that when absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, they will not enter except the aura that matches the attribute of the spirit root, so they can build the foundation with their own strength. As for the remaining dual spiritual roots and even more complex spiritual roots, you have to use Jidan.
This foundation pill can not only provide a large amount of pure aura when building the foundation, but it can also help the monk expel the messy aura when building the foundation, so that the monk can build the foundation smoothly.
At the same time, the higher the quality of the Jidan, the stronger it is, and the more useful it is to the monks. And how can we get a higher quality Jidan? One is relying on the skills of alchemists, the second is relying on the high-quality pill furnace pill fire, and the third... is relying on the quality of the various spiritual herbs in the alchemy.
Two-grain grass is the collective name of two spiritual grasses that grow side by side, one is golden-grain grass, and the other is silver-grain grass. To be of high quality, the two spiritual plants must be born in balance. The closer the leanness, stems and leaves, and fullness, the better the quality.
The double-grained grass, golden-grained grass and silver-grained grass produced by the Wang clan has almost no error, which shows that the people who care for the spirit grass are exquisite and have also enabled the Wang clan to gain a foothold among many aristocratic families.
The reason why Xu Ziqing chose this task, apart from the consideration of experience, was to take a look at the methods used by the Wang clan to serve the spirit grass.
He used to be a handyman in the Baicao Garden of the Xu clan, and loves spirit grass as a companion. Now that he has learned the "Ten Thousand Wood Seed Heart Dafa", he is more and more interested in vegetation.
"Ten Thousand Wood Seed Heart Dafa" can contain ten thousand trees, which not only has the use of ten thousand trees for offense and defense, but also catalyzes ten thousand trees, so that people who practice this method will not suffer from spiritual material.
For example, if Xu Ziqing can get its seeds and transform it into the pubic pubic area, if he cultivates more deeply in the future, he can give birth to the double-grained grass for his use.
After Xu Ziqing made a decision, he didn't look at the wall of high-level tasks and difficult tasks. Naturally, he didn't see the only new task added in recent years among the difficult tasks.
"Shangquzhou Xu's clan asks for help, set up a family dispute, fourth-order sea beasts, masters of the Huayuan period. Pour all the resources of the whole clan to offer rewards to high-level monks, long-term demand."
And the white silk cloth on which this task was written, I don't know when, it has already turned purple.
·
When he reached the first floor, Xu Ziqing passed by one person and walked directly out of the trading hall. He didn't pay attention to this person's appearance, nor did he notice that his face changed slightly when he saw Xu Ziqing.
After this person passed, he quickened his pace and came to the second tower. There were two people waiting here. One of them saw him coming up and said, "Brother, why are you so slow?"
This person hurriedly said: "I have seen Xu Ziqing!"
The eldest person immediately said: "Yuan Liang, are you sure you haven't read it wrong?"
Ruan Yuanliang said: "It is indeed him, even if it is turned into ashes, I can recognize it!"
Wang Jun and Nian Hongzhi looked at each other, and they were also a little bit happy.
Since that time the three of their brothers decided to kill Xu Ziqing, they have carefully probed his whereabouts. Then I realized that Xu Ziqing had been awarded a first-class token because of Su Xin, the leader of the young league, and had already closed the door.
They are naturally reluctant. Xu Ziqing can be described as the three thorns in his heart.
Therefore, the three of them took turns, waiting at the foot of Lingqiao Mountain for three consecutive months, and never saw Xu Ziqing descend.
Nian Hongzhi and the others understood that Xu Ziqing thought it would take a long time to retreat, and they couldn't sit and eat in the sky, so they left angrily, preparing to find another opportunity.
After a year, Ruan Yuanliang accidentally met Xu Ziqing again, which suddenly opened up their somewhat discouraged mood.
Nian Hongzhi made a decisive decision: "He didn't wander around on the first and second floors. He must have gone to the third and fourth floors. The second brother was agile and went to the third floor to find out. My younger brother and I went to the fourth tower. Just be careful not to let it go. People see the clue."
Wang Jun and Ruan Yuanliang both responded: "Brother, I'll understand."
So the three brothers split up.
Ruan Yuanliang was impulsive, but his popularity was good. He and Nian Hongzhi came to the fourth floor of the tower together, and while looking at the task in front of a task wall, they talked to others.
Nian Hongzhi is very calm. He knows that Xu Ziqing's cultivation is similar to him. According to common sense, it is more likely to choose intermediate tasks. In addition, he has visited this floor recently and has some impressions of recent tasks, so he just Observe carefully at the mid-level task wall, recall which tasks have been newly accepted, and filter them.
After a while, Wang Jun hurried up and said to Nian Hongzhi next to him: "Brother, no one has ever seen Xu Ziqing pass by in the third tower."
Nian Hongzhi nodded secretly: "Then he must have come to this level to pick up the task. Also, he seems to be quite practiced and minded. A retreat lasts for a year. Judging from his age, he is very bearable. Now that I am finally willing to leave the customs, I must have encountered a bottleneck. It is very possible to come here to take a task and experience it."
Wang Jun also has this idea.
Soon Ruan Yuanliang also walked over, with joy on his face, and he seemed to have gained a lot: "Big brother, second brother, I found out!"
Nian Hongzhi and Wang Jun both said, "Come on!"
Ruan Yuanliang said: "Xu Ziqing did take the task at this level. I have an acquaintance who said that there was a young man in a green shirt who spent a lot of time in front of the low-level task wall. So it was noticed. Then the boy stood in front of the Intermediate Mission Wall for a while, then took off a piece of silk and left." He thought for a while, and pointed to the wall on the left, "My acquaintance didn't care too much, just I caught a glimpse of him taking the silk cloth on the right side of this wall, but I couldn't know which piece it was."
Nian Hongzhi was overjoyed: "It's okay, but I remember that the task that was taken on the right side was the only one that was newly taken within two days. It must be it!"
When Wang Jun and Ruan Yuanliang heard this, they both became happy.
What Nian Hongzhi chose was the task of hiring high-level monks for the Wang family's children.
Wang Jun asked, "Big brother, what should I wait?"
Nian Hongzhi said: "No, since I'm going to Shaanyan Ridge, I will also apply for this guard. Then I will just find a difficulty to lead the person away, and naturally I can get rid of him without a trace. From then on, my brother The three of them will have peace of mind."
Both Wang Jun and Ruan Yuanliang said: "Big brother has a great opinion, I am ashamed to wait!"
The three of them made a plan, and Nian Hongzhi also took off the silk cloth and put it in his arms. After that, they don't need to do any tricks, just go to Pinglan County to be hired by the Wang clan.
·
Pinglan County is five thousand miles northwest of the Sanxiu League, which is not that far away to the monks.
Xu Ziqing left more than ten spiritual beads in the storage bag, and the rest of his fortune was still in the storage ring. After that, he took a Yufeng Jue and went away in the wind.
Although this imperial wind technique is difficult to last, it is very convenient. It turns out people into a breath of breeze, which is very light and natural. However, once they are familiar with it, it consumes very little spiritual energy. Monks like Xu Ziqing who don't have a magical weapon of life, like to use it to drive on their way.
After about half a day, Pinglan County arrived.
Xu Ziqing stepped down and stood in front of a prosperous city.
This city is called Chongyong City, which is the foundation of Wang's clan, and its main residence is also in this Chongyong City. When Xu Ziqing came here, he would go to the main house to meet the Wang clan.
Xu Ziqing didn't delay. After entering the city, he found someone to ask where Wang's home was, and set off immediately.
The Wang clan is very famous in Chongyong City. The people in the city heard that Xu Ziqing was going to the Wang's house. Although they did not dare to do more inquiries on the face, they were awed in private and looked at him from time to time.
Xu Ziqing didn't feel uncomfortable. He just walked quickly and bypassed a few long streets. After a short while, he saw a house covering a huge area and looked like a wealthy family.
There were two congenital warriors guarding the door. Seeing Xu Ziqing's handsome appearance and refined temperament, he recognized him as a monk and greeted him.
The two of them smiled and asked respectfully, "Dare to ask this immortal head, why is it?"
Xu Ziqing smiled slightly: "I took the task of your house and came here specially."
The two congenital martial artists became more enthusiastic immediately, and continued to say: "Xianchang, please come in quickly, the Patriarch has already been waiting!"
