Chapter 28 Acceptance of Missions
"You...is this a beggar!"

Nangong Yurou looked at Dongfang Mo with a warm and angry expression.

"Senior sister, what are you talking about? You should know that I have only ten spirit stones when I just entered the door. Now I have used up all of them, and only this one is left. I know that my senior sister has a rich family, so I look down on this spirit stone. Seriously, Senior Sister should not disappoint Junior Brother's affection."

Dongfang Mo explained.

"What's the matter of being affectionate or not? You are so shameless in the public, you little bull-nosed." Nangong Yurou blushed.

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo rolled his eyes, why didn't he follow his plan, and continued: "Hey, I have no choice but to explain the matter now."

"Since I saw my senior sister on that platform for the first time that day, I was shocked as a heavenly being, and secretly agreed. It's just that Xiaodao still has self-knowledge. I'm just an ordinary student with a third-class wood spirit root, and my senior sister is honorable and talented. People, such a gap is like a natural moat that cannot be overcome. Therefore, I can only bury this thought in my heart."

Speaking of this, Dongfang Mo actually lowered his head, but from the corner of his eyes, he could still see Nangong Yurou's eyes dodging because of being cramped.

So he went on to say: "As for the matter of sending the jade slips to Senior Sister on behalf of Senior Brother Yue, I was just perfunctory him. Others don't care, but if it is you, Senior Sister Nangong, it is wishful thinking. Because even if there is no possibility between Senior Sister and I , but Senior Sister is as elegant as a fairy in my eyes, how can I let people like Yue Laosan blaspheme at will."

Looking at Nangong Yurou again, she was already overwhelmed with shame.

Usually she is a delicate girl, who would dare to say such words to him, but today I heard that someone secretly fell in love with her, although this person made me dislike, but the attitude of a little girl deep in her heart has long been revealed .

"Dongfang Niubi, don't say such things to fool me, do you think you can get away with it?"

Nangong Yurou shouted with a little confidence.

"I knew that senior sister didn't believe it, but now it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. I feel comfortable saying this. If senior sister thinks that I, Dongfang Mo, have done something that will damage the reputation of Miaoyin Academy, you can ask Senior Aunt Zhong for help." The complaint is that I am willing to accept the punishment."

"And Senior Sister wants to tell other people that I, Dongfang Mo, is using their name to seek personal gain. I have nothing to say. After all, they are not my sweetheart, so why should I care?"

As he said that, Dongfang Mo was still looking into Nangong Yurou's eyes, but Nangong Yurou didn't dare to look at him, and turned her shy cheeks away.

"You... Forget it, I will forgive you once today, and I won't be an example next time."

"Also, you'd better put your mind on cultivation, don't be so opportunistic, otherwise your cultivation will remain stagnant."

Nangong Yurou said.

"Senior sister taught me that."

Dongfang Mo seemed to be taught, but he thought in his heart that if he hadn't been so opportunistic, his cultivation might have stagnated.

"Didn't you open up your spiritual veins and reach the first level of Qi training in a day? Now, dozens of days have passed, but you are still at the first level of Qi training. It can be seen that you must put your mind on this on weekdays." It's like speculating on top of it."

Hearing this, Dongfang Mo couldn't help being speechless inwardly, and then looked at Nangong Yurou, who was emitting a faint spiritual pressure, obviously surpassing himself by a lot, so he asked:
"I don't know what cultivation level Senior Sister is now?"

Nangong Yurou glanced at Dongfang Mo, and then said old-fashionedly:
"A few days ago, I just broke through to the second level of Qi Refining."

"what??"

Dongfang Mo was taken aback. It only took half a month, and this Nangong Yurou's aptitude was really good, and she was about to break through the second level of Qi Refining. Could it be that she had even more astonishing aptitude than Bai Yufan back then.

"Hey, Senior Sister's words awakened the person in the dream, Junior Brother is ashamed, after this incident, I will definitely practice with peace of mind, so I will leave now, Senior Sister, take care."

Thinking that I had opened up my spiritual veins a few months ago, and now I have spent dozens of spiritual stones, and I am still practicing most of the time on weekdays, but this cultivation base is just an extremely The slow speed increase has only barely touched the threshold of the middle stage of Qi training so far.

And this Nangong Niangpi only used more than ten days of effort to directly break through the realm of the second floor.

After saying that, Dongfang Mo turned and left without turning his head. In the blink of an eye, his declining figure disappeared at the end of the street, leaving only Nangong Yurou standing still holding the half-drained spirit stone in one hand.

After Dongfang Mo left, Nangong Yurou finally came to his senses, looking at the spirit stone in his hand, he wanted to disdain to throw it away, but in the end his face turned slightly red, and he put it in the storage bag by accident.

After Dongfang Mo returned to his cave, he took out the thick black storage bag, bit his finger and dripped a drop of his own blood on the jade ring of the storage bag, and the jade ring absorbed the water like a sponge. At the same time, Dongfang Mo instantly felt a faint connection with the storage bag.

When he moved his mind following this connection, he sank into the storage bag, and Dongfang Mo couldn't help showing a look of surprise when he felt the nine-foot-sized space.

So he took out all the things, including the fire ion, the bigu pill, the three wind-moving talismans, more than a dozen pieces of spirit stones, and many sundries. After a little tidying up, Dongfang Mo put them all in in the storage bag.

But Dongfang Mo frowned when he saw the nearly 30 yuan jade slip.

After a while, he sighed.

"Forget it, take people's money and do things for them."

However, he deliberately picked out the jade slips that Yue Laosan told Nangong Yurou and Feng Luoye.

It is naturally impossible for him to give it to Nangong Yurou. As for Feng Luoye, unless Dongfang Mo thinks his life is too long, she will not have time to hide now, and she dares to make trouble.

Finally, looking at the remaining 20 pieces of jade slips, Dongfang Mo rubbed his chin, and after thinking about it again, he took out Mu Ziyu and other people who had sent the jade slips last time.

In the end, there were only more than ten yuan left, and Dongfang Mo nodded in satisfaction.

In the morning of the second day, Dongfang Mo went out, inquired all the way to the cave residence of the senior sisters, and sent the jade slips one by one. An hour later, the last jade slip was delivered.

And during this period, they naturally suffered a lot of stares. Most of the disciples knew Dongfang Mo, even if they didn't, they knew him because of the fact that he even dared to tease his junior sister Nangong.

Seeing that Dongfang Mo came to the door now, and gave the jade slips with a smile on his face, the so-called being courteous for nothing, adultery or stealing, the girls naturally couldn't give him good looks.

Dongfang Mo acted like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, pretending he didn't see it.After delivering all the jade slips, he did not go to Nanchuifang City immediately, but came to the Pavilion of Things.

Looking at the rows of tiny characters on the snow-white wall, Dongfang Mo's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

During the two days of gathering with Liang Zima and others, Dongfang Mo made inquires about it, and probably knew the location of the dark river where he escaped from death, and its direction should be somewhere on the edge of the Wanling Mountain Range.

The Wanling Mountain Range is an untouched place in Nanyan County, where there are many spirit beasts, and various natural materials and earth treasures will be brought out from the Wanling Mountain Range from time to time. The place to dabble.

Looking at the rows of small characters on the stone wall, Dongfang Mo's eyes finally stopped on a task called "Picking Willow Ginseng".

For sects such as Taiyi Taoist Palace, although the three courtyards stand at the same time, in order to maximize the resources and experience of the disciples, all the tasks released will appear in the three courtyards of Beichen Academy, Nanlu Academy, and Miaoyin Academy. , so that all the disciples of the palace gate can accept the task.

Seeing that a willow-leaf ginseng can be exchanged for ten spirit stones, Dongfang Mo knew that this willow-leaf ginseng was probably a rare medicinal material, but what he was drawing was not the ten spirit stones, the so-called If you don't seek small profits, you must have a big plan. He just borrowed a name to go out, because the place where the Willow Ginseng is located is on the edge of the Wanling Mountain Range.

Looking at this task, Dongfang secretly nodded and made a decision.

After passing through several stone walls, he came to the innermost main hall of the Pavilion of Things. In the main hall, there was a woman over half a century old who was resting with her eyes closed.

Dongfang Mo walked up to the woman, cupped his hands, and said:

"Disciple Dongfang Mo has met the elder."

Hearing this, the woman opened her eyes, and when she saw a man in front of her, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback, but then she was relieved, this Dongfang Mo should be the third male disciple who just entered Miaoyin Academy a few days ago.

"What kind of mission are you going to accept?"

The woman's voice was a little hoarse, and she looked at Dongfang Mo and asked expressionlessly.

"The disciple wants to accept the task of picking willow leaf ginseng, this is the disciple's ancestral card."

Immediately, Dongfang Mo took out his ancestral card and said so.

Seeing this, the woman just glanced at the tablet indifferently, then reached out to grab it, immediately took out a brush in her hand, and began to write on a huge stone book in front of her.

"Miaoyinyuan, Dongfangmo, accept the task of collecting willow leaf ginseng."

After the few ten numbers were written, the woman waved her hand, and the number of crosses was hidden in the stone book.

"This willow leaf ginseng is needed all year round, so there is no limit to the mission time, but this time you can leave for no longer than one year. After one year, no matter what the mission is, you must return to the sect to report, unless you are dead, otherwise If it exceeds the time limit of one year, you will be punished by the sect confinement."

The woman's hoarse voice continued.

Hearing this, Dongfang Mo nodded, and he was more and more satisfied with this task, and it would last for a year.

"This is a sound transmission talisman. If there is any emergency or special situation, you can send a message to the sect."

The woman took out two yellow talismans about the size of palms.

"Thank you, elder."

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo reached out to take it, only after looking at it, he put it into a storage bag, then left the Things Pavilion, and turned to walk in the direction of Nanchuifang City.

After arriving in Fangshi, Dongfang Mo didn't stop, and went straight to Baibaozhai.

As soon as Dongfang Mo stepped into Baibaozhai, he saw Yue Laosan sitting at the wooden table drinking alone.

Seeing Dongfang Mo coming, Yue Laosan got up immediately, his short and fat body blocked the wooden table, put his hands behind his back, and quietly put away the Dendrobium on the table.

Then he went out with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, Brother Dongfang is indeed a trustworthy person."

Dongfang Mo's eyesight is extraordinary, so he naturally saw Yue Laosan's movements, and he thought to himself, isn't it just drinking a pot of spiritual tea from you? Seeing himself now as if he was guarding against thieves, he said with a smile on his face:

"Senior brother Yue is very polite, fortunately he did not disgrace his life. Although it took a lot of effort for the younger brother, but fortunately, most of the jade slips were delivered to the senior sisters in person, such as senior sister Mu Ziyu, senior sister Huang Ying and others may be Because I was away away, I put the jade slips in his cave, I believe Senior Sister and others will see them when they come back."

Hearing this, Yue Laosan nodded, this situation was still within his expectation.

"But what I didn't expect, Senior Brother, is that Senior Brother Yue's name of Baibaozhai is not small. Several senior sisters said that they had heard of Baibaozhai's reputation, so I took this opportunity to praise it even more. Many senior sisters immediately expressed their opinion that if there is a need next time, they will definitely consider Brother Yue's Baibaozhai first."

"As for Senior Sister Haitang, she even said that she most needed a senior brother who was looking for a vein to refine a certain magic weapon, and it happened that a kind of fine stone was missing. Senior Brother Yue should take advantage of this opportunity."

Dongfang Mo blinked, and looked at Yue Laosan as if you understood.

"Brother Dongfang is really bold, haha, next time if you need it, you can come to my Baibaozhai. Since my brother Yue has made Brother Dongfang as a friend, I will naturally give you a satisfactory attitude in terms of price."

Lao San Yue laughed loudly, secretly thinking that the hundreds of spirit stones were not in vain, but then he touched his chin and continued to ask:
"Then I don't know if Senior Sister Feng of your academy has received my jade slip."

Hearing this, Dongfang Mo's heart skipped a beat, his heart was really like that ugly guy Ge Yun, although Feng Niang's skin was a little cold, but that kind of appearance is actually something that toads like you can touch, but she said without changing her face:

"Senior Sister Feng has a cold personality. I just told her to deliver the letter for others. Seeing this, Sister Feng didn't refuse. She just accepted the jade slip but didn't say anything."

Hearing this, Yue Laosan was a little disappointed, but at least Dongfang Mo had delivered the jade slips, and it would be good to barely leave an impression on people like Feng Luoye in his heart, so he was relieved.

"Brother Yue, don't worry, since you and I are friends, I will naturally speak a few words of kindness for you in front of the senior sisters in the future, and there is no guarantee that I won't bring some senior sisters here to disturb you next time."

Dongfang Mo had a smile in his eyes, he would not die if he boasted about this situation.

"Hiss! That's very good, so I'll thank my junior brother here first."

Hearing this, Yue Laosan's eyes flashed brightly, his eyeballs rolled, and he didn't know what was in his mind.

"Brother, you are welcome, but now I have a mission, I am afraid I have to go out for a while, these days I am afraid it will not work, when I come back, I will definitely come to visit."

Dongfang Mo continued.

"It's easy to talk about, my brother is waiting for my junior brother to come at any time."

"Then don't bother me, goodbye!" Dongfang Mo cupped his hands.

"Junior brother, go slowly and don't see him off!" Yue Laosan also returned the gift.

So Dongfang Mo turned around and disappeared into the crowd again.

Only Yue Laosan was left looking at Dongfang Mo's disappearing back, but there was a sneering arc on the corner of his mouth.

"Boy, if I can't see through your tricks, I've been fooling around all these years. I really thought you took advantage of it, and you'll cry when the time comes."

Yue Laosan then swaggered back to the wooden table with his hands behind his back, took out the Dendrobium again and began to drink alone, looking leisurely and contented.
