The Immortal Way is Fierce

Chapter 20 Strange Woman

Following Zhang Jingyuan, Zhao Mingyang came to the Yunhua Xing Qianlong Yuan Work-Study Program, punishing evil and promoting good, helping the elderly, caring for the young and caring for the environment.

Well, that's right, the name above is a long string of twenty-five characters, which is the full name of this office.

Naturally, no one calls it such a long and shabby name. Students usually call it 'Study Aid Building' or 'Task Hall' or something like that.

So the name of this office is good, but don’t name it next time.

In Qianlongyuan, students who have successfully opened their pulses, have spiritual energy running in their bodies, and have reached the first level of Qi refining can come here to take on tasks and receive some spiritual coins as rewards.

As for the content of the task, it has basically been written on the full name of this office.

Basically, it is to help an uncle or aunt find their lost glasses, vegetable basket, or kittens or puppies, or to help pick up a baby to Youlin Pavilion. As for being temporarily dragged to sweep the streets and plant a tree. Categories are even more common.

As for helping the yamen find witnesses and trace evidence, it is already a big job. Once you show up in the mission hall, you will have your head broken.

After all, most of the students who come to receive the task are below the third level of Qi Refining, so a task that is too difficult is obviously not suitable.

After looking at the whole wall, the highest reward was to go to a certain drugstore and work as a fire fan boy for three days and be given forty-five spiritual coins.

However, they are required to be able to distinguish basic herbal medicines. The value of the fire spiritual root in the spiritual root must not be less than 25. If you can practice a fire control method, you will be given priority in admission and long-term cooperation will be considered.

Seeing this mere forty-five spirit coins, he wanted to recruit a monk who knew herbal medicine, had prominent fire spirit roots, and practiced a fire-controlling method. Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but twitch his lips. It seems that this worker will never It’s easy, and the darkness of capital is everywhere.

After all, you must know that this is already the highest paying task. Those tasks of helping uncles and aunts find cats and dogs, only cost two or three spirit coins.

In other words, the money earned from walking around the city for a whole day is just enough to buy a few suncakes and other snacks. If you want to accumulate some spiritual stones and use them for cultivation, don't even think about it.

“For people like me who are used to making big and quick money, it seems that they are no longer suitable for relying on their own hard work and physical strength in exchange for money.”

Zhang Jingyuan laughed to himself, and then planned to leave.

This time he came to the mission hall and was really disappointed.

Not to mention that this small amount of money can only solve the problem of food at most, and it will not help practice at all. Just say that Zhang is a lazy person who is used to cheating and cheating. How can he do such a job?

He still has this bit of self-awareness.

Zhao Mingyang nodded vigorously at the side. He saw with his own eyes that Zhang Jingyuan earned more than 30,000 spirit coins in a few quarters of an hour, which was equivalent to his mother's annual salary in spirit coins, not to mention that as a fourth-class middle-grade, Zhang Jingyuan You can also receive five spiritual stones from the Taoist Alliance every year.

By the way, Zhang Jingyuan just absorbed the eighteen spiritual stones in the Kaimai Chamber.

However, this kind of place is suitable for him.

After all, he is already sixteen years old and an adult, and there is still at least half a year before he can pass the exam for the Craftsman Hall. He can't still eat and drink at home during these half a year, right?

Although his parents will definitely not dislike him, since he is a man, he must shoulder his own responsibilities.

Zhao Mingyang has decided that he will get his pulse as soon as possible, and then come here to receive the task. He will no longer ask for money from home with his palms up, and will be self-reliant.

"Classmate Zhang, I want to take over the task of this pharmacy. I wonder if you are willing to give it to me."

However, at this moment, a soft, pitiful, and caring voice came from behind.

Zhang Jingyuan turned around and saw a beautiful woman with a tall figure, a light and soft body, and a pair of big watery eyes with a pleading look, looking at him eagerly.

This expression made Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but wonder if the girl would cry immediately if he didn't agree.

With such a pretty face, it must be very nice to be punched and cry.

Putting away his messy perverted thoughts, Zhang Jingyuan gently nodded and said, "I had already planned to leave. Please help yourself, classmate."

With that said, Zhang Jingyuan left the task hall without hesitation, thinking about where to make money later.

"Brother Jing, you really don't know her?"

From Zhang Jingyuan's words and actions, Zhao Mingyang felt something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.

"I do not know?"

Zhang Jingyuan glanced at Zhao Mingyang in surprise. Although he admitted that the girl was pretty, he didn't recognize her. Is there any problem?

"This is Ruan Baizhi, a classmate of ours? The teacher just said that you are the only four spirit roots in our class, and the second one is Ruan Baizhi, but she should have had her pulse opened a long time ago, so she didn't come."

Zhao Mingyang said loudly in disbelief.

It would be fine if Zhang Jingyuan didn't know anyone else, but there was no way he didn't know the only Four Spiritual Roots in the class before, let alone Ruan Baizhi who was still so famous in Qianlongyuan. "Is that second one her?"

Hearing what Zhao Mingyang said, Zhang Jingyuan suddenly looked a little embarrassed. If he didn't even recognize the only four spirit roots in the class, it seemed to be a bit too much.

Now, Zhang Jingyuan finally understood why this person called him Classmate Zhang in the first place...

However, at that time, his mind was completely focused on how to make the girl cry, so he didn't care...

"No, Ruan Baizhi is the first one with four spiritual roots in our class, and you are the second one."

Zhao Mingyang said seriously, as if he was talking about something important.

Hearing this, Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but glared at Zhao Mingyang, "If you can't speak, then talk less. Zhao Mingyang is the second one, and the second one is home."

But when Zhao Mingyang said this, Zhang Jingyuan remembered that this Ruan Baizhi was indeed their classmate, but this Ruan Baizhi died very early in his previous life. It seemed that after he tested his spiritual roots, he died within two months. He died unexpectedly and the cause of death was unknown, so he forgot that he actually had such a classmate.

That is to say, in his previous life, Zhao Mingyang would mention a word or two when he was fine. Otherwise, he would be a stranger to Ruan Baizhi.

"Do you like Ruan Baizhi?"

As soon as his thoughts changed, Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but joked, as the saying goes, a girl's feelings are always poetry, but a boy's bed is always wet.

It is normal for Zhao Mingyang to have a crush on female classmates at his age, not to mention that this classmate Ruan Baizhi is so good-looking and is the only one with four spiritual roots in the class.

Such an existence, placed in any dimension, would probably be the perfect class beauty, school beauty, and the goddess in the hearts of countless boys.

"No! No! How could I like Ruan Baizhi, a bad girl like Ruan Baizhi...how could I like her!"

But who knew that as soon as Zhang Jingyuan said these words, Zhao Mingyang's head suddenly shook like a rattle, and he couldn't help but show a trace of disgust on his face.

"Bad girl, where do you start with this?"

Now Zhang Jingyuan was completely curious. Judging from the tone and gesture of Ruan Baizhi's words, he should not be related to a bad girl.

"She has a bad reputation in Qianlong Academy. She doesn't like to be with classmates like us. There are more than 200 students in the class. I have never heard of anyone she has a good relationship with. Instead, she compares herself with some family members all day long. Wealthy children stay together.”

"If that's the case, it can only be said that the family is in harmony with each other, and the family's own conditions are good, so it is reasonable to find a wealthy family to be the husband. As for looking down on us, the Four Spirits are not from the same world as us, so they look down on us. But Ruan Baizhi will have a new boyfriend in a few days, which is a bit too much. "

"And her boyfriends are still reluctant to let go of her, and they are jealous of her. They have attacked her countless times, and each time they make a bigger fuss. They fight with their lives, demand to get back together, and there are not a few who commit suicide by jumping off the building if they don't get back together.

"Finally, it came out that Ruan Baizhi was fighting with these rich kids for the spirit stone. Later, Vice Dean Mei Hong came forward and checked that her Yuan Yin had not been lost. Only then did the storm subside. Otherwise, she would have been kicked out long ago. It’s Qianlongyuan.”

Listening to Zhao Mingyang's words that were more explosive each time, Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but click his tongue. I have to say that this Ruan Baizhi is really a strange woman with a story.

He didn't recognize such a strange woman, no wonder Zhao Mingyang was making such a fuss.

The atmosphere in the world of cultivation is still relatively conservative, especially before reaching adulthood at the age of sixteen. Although there is no talk of guarding men and women, it is definitely much more conservative than the atmosphere in China in the previous life.

And what Ruan Baizhi did in her previous life would have definitely made her a popular figure in the school.

However, Zhang Jingyuan felt that something was wrong. For such a gold-worshiping girl, Bai Lianhua, would she run to the alchemy furnace and be a fire-fanning boy for three days for forty-five spiritual coins?

Probably because his reputation was so bad, the kids from rich families didn't want to be with him, so he had to fend for himself.

Shaking his head and putting this episode behind him, Zhang Jingyuan thought carefully while going home.

After all, for him, earning spiritual stones and improving his cultivation were top priorities. He didn't want to spend five years to upgrade his cultivation to the level of Qi refining.

No, it's been four and a half years, and today he absorbed eighteen spiritual stones from Qianlongyuan, which was equivalent to his half-year's hard training.

Early the next morning, Zhang Jingyuan ran to the Yamen of Yanyang City, showed his jade slips, and prepared to receive his share of spiritual stones and elixirs.

But who knew that such a simple thing could go wrong.

Looking at the four spiritual stones in front of him, as well as one body-strengthening pill and one soul-enhancing pill each, Zhang Jingyuan's face turned ugly and pale.

"It's just such a small thing, and you still want to withhold it. Are you still just a toy?"

Zhang Jingyuan said in a cold tone.

In this life, he hated people who owed him money. Otherwise, in his previous life, he wouldn't have been able to earn a reputation for money.
