Showing Power

Outside the door, Lin Cheng smiled slightly.

The same goes for Wang Chong and Li Xiansong behind them, looking more enthusiastic than last time.

Apparently because of the last guess, the two of them had a much higher opinion of Song Zhishu and were no longer as indifferent as before.

And they came to say goodbye.

"Three fellow Taoists are leaving?"

Song Zhishu spoke with some surprise in his words. The three of them had basically been in Qingzhou City to accept the mission of Wanshi Pavilion and go out to slay demons, but they would be back in two or three days at most. Now they came here specifically to say goodbye, fearing that they would have to leave for a while.

"yes."

"That mission is about to begin. It will take some time. We may not be able to return in the short term."

Lin Cheng smiled and explained the reason. After a pause, he continued: "Fellow Daoist Song, what are you thinking about? Do you want to join us?"

Nearly a month passed, but Song Zhishu never took the initiative to come. He was a little disappointed, thinking that the other party might decide not to be together, but Lin Cheng still didn't give up completely, and planned to ask one last time.

After all, the task is indeed somewhat difficult. If a strong foreign aid joins, it will be much easier for the three of them.

The eyes of Wang Chong and Li Xiansong were filled with some expectation. The foundation-building monks from the aristocratic sects were indeed worthy of their repeated invitations.

Hearing this, Song Zhishu was silent at first. Indeed, he had basically stayed in the inn for this period of time and had never gone out at all. He was either practicing or engraving jade. Although he had gained something, he could not do other things. It was different from when he left.

The ideas are somewhat different.

If you know what you do, you must do it.

And he could also see that these three people were indeed invited sincerely, otherwise they would not have come here specially before leaving.

As for the reason, Song Zhishu can also guess some, maybe because he values ​​his own strength.

Although he has always emphasized that he is a casual cultivator, after all, he has lived in Taihao Sword Sect for more than ten years. It is difficult for Song Zhishu to get rid of the characteristics of the disciples of the sect in a short period of time, and the disciples of the sect will indeed be regarded by ordinary casual cultivators.

Take a look.

As for the tasks mentioned by the three people, it has been stated before that the rewards are generous, so they can indeed give it a try.

Furthermore, there are only about twenty channels of Haoran's righteousness left in his body. The amount is so small that even the Lingyuan Pill will take longer to refine.

Go out and kill monsters, you can make up for it, and you can also open the next jade box.

With his thoughts at this point, Song Zhishi raised his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin has invited me again and again. If I refuse, it would indeed be a bit unkind."

"Then did Fellow Daoist Song agree?"

Lin Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and there was some surprise in his words.

At first he wanted to give up, but he never thought that there would be a bright future.

"Yes."

Song Zhisei smiled and nodded.

"good."

Lin Cheng immediately beamed when he got the exact answer, feeling that the long wait was finally not in vain.

But soon he stopped smiling, with a serious look on his face: "But Brother Daoist Song, there are some things that I want to talk about first, that is, after the completion of this mission, according to the old rules of the three of us, everything will be equally distributed.

, Of course, if Fellow Daoist Song contributes a lot at that time, we can take more depending on the situation, and we can discuss it."

Before officially starting, you must clearly explain the most important things to avoid getting confused and troublesome later.

Equal distribution can minimize disputes and is also the way to survive outside the community.

However, Lin Cheng also knew that some things should not be said too fully.

What if the opponent really made a great contribution and is an indispensable person in the team? You must get more.

"Just listen to Fellow Daoist Lin."

Song Zhishu had no objection to this, but rather appreciated Lin Cheng's attitude in settling things in advance.

Within the sect, there are still rules that bind the disciples, and they dare not go too far.

But it's different for the casual cultivators outside. There are quite a few people who betray the enemy in the middle, or even do something secretly. Therefore, the basis for forming a team is to rely on integrity and speak clearly and thoroughly in advance.

Lin Cheng was walking outside and obviously knew this very well, so he said it.

And his words made the two people next to him turn their heads to look at Song Zhishu.

Obviously he cares about this matter very much.

"no problem."

Song Zhishu did not hesitate or refuse.

The biggest purpose of my trip is not to earn spiritual stones.

But if you want to go out for a walk, you only need to gain Confucian righteousness by killing demons, so the distribution of spiritual stones is not too fussy.

If you really care about this, why not engrave gems in an inn? You won’t earn more than you would outside? And it’s also safer.

"Okay, let's talk about it then."

When Lin Cheng saw Song Zhishu agreeing immediately, he felt completely relieved.

Some sect disciples had high self-esteem and looked down on casual cultivators, and would be aggressive in terms of income from missions, but Song Zhishu didn't care, which made him very happy, and at the same time he felt that he had not found the wrong person.

The other two people felt the same way. They felt that the Song Zhishu in front of them was indeed different from the disciples of the aristocratic sects they had met before, and they had a good impression of him.

Lin Cheng showed a smile and spoke again: "In this way, Fellow Daoist Song, please wait quietly in the inn for three days while making preparations. We will meet at the gate of the East City in three days. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Song?"

The three days were spent preparing to buy some elixirs and talismans, which was also their previous plan.

"Okay, see you at the east city gate in three days."

Song Zhishu nodded. He had already prepared a lot of things in Taihao Sword Sect. He had everything he needed, but there was nothing prepared. But it happened to be that these days could be used to stabilize his cultivation. After all, he had just made a breakthrough.

The few of them chatted for a while, and Lin Cheng and others said nothing more and left the aisle.

Song Zhishu closed the door tightly and began to meditate.

Cultivation in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.

It does take some getting used to.

At the same time, he sorted out the talismans and various healing elixirs in his hands in case of emergency.

Soon, three days flew by.

Early that morning, the sun rose in the east.

The clouds and fog shrouding Qingzhou City have not dissipated yet, bringing with it a slight chill.

Song Zhishu left the guest room early in the morning, packed his things, and walked straight to the agreed upon place.

At the gate of the east city, three people were already waiting here. They were Lin Cheng and his party.

"Brother Lin, the price of frost talismans has increased recently. I didn't prepare much this time, so I bought a few speed talismans and some elixirs. I may need to borrow some from you." The dark-faced, short Wang

He opened his mouth and looked a little bitter.

For casual cultivators like them, once they have the basic spiritual stones, they will be spent and they won’t be able to save much because they all have to be used for practice.

"It's the same thing here. I didn't buy any talismans or anything like that, but fortunately the price of the formation stones has been reduced, so it's enough."

Li Xiansong also spoke. He had the lowest individual strength among the three, but he had a minor in formation, which was very useful, so his position in the team was very important.

"No problem, just enough is enough. You don't have to buy too much."

Lin Cheng smiled and was about to say something more, but soon saw a familiar figure not far away and immediately said: "Fellow Daoist Song is here."

"Three fellow Taoists."

At this moment, Song Zhishu spoke gently. He was dressed in white and had a straight body, but he looked very low-key and had no decorations on his body. He bowed slightly when he came closer and continued: "When will we set off?"

"Fellow Daoist Song is not busy, there is only one person left."

Lin Cheng returned the gift and said that there was still one person who had not come, so he had to continue waiting.

"good."

Song Zhishu nodded and didn't think it was anything. The more people there were, it meant that the mission was not only dangerous, but also the reward might be more than expected. After all, one more person would mean an extra share. Besides, he was just joining this time, not taking the lead.

Naturally, we have to follow Lin Cheng's arrangements.

"It just so happens that Fellow Daoist Song is here too. I will briefly explain what we are good at so that we can better cooperate."

Lin Cheng saw that there was still a while before the appointed time, so he said directly: "Brother Wang is good at flying swords, his methods are extremely fast, and if the speed talisman is added, the power can be further increased. At the same time, Brother Wang is also good at tracking the aura of monsters.

"

"Brother Li is a top-level formation mage. He has mastered no less than a hundred formations over the years. If you give him time, even the monsters who have just entered the foundation building will suffer."

Having said this, Lin Cheng smiled: "As for me, I have been born with supernatural powers since I was a child. I have a strong body and can fight with monsters in the same realm."
