The elder looked at the changes in everyone's expressions and seemed to have expected it. After coughing, he said: "You know the mission, but do you have any doubts?"
Everyone looked at each other, one of them hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward and said: "Disciple, there is something I don't understand. Among us, Senior Brother Hao, who has the highest level of cultivation, is only at the seventh level of Qi training, and he is not good at fighting, and the disciple has obtained
One of the tasks is to pick a dragon snake fruit. Everyone knows that wherever the dragon snake fruit grows, there will be a giant python with strength comparable to that of a foundation. It is difficult for us to deal with it alone, let alone now.
Take it with you..."
Although he didn't say anything further, everyone knew that he was referring to Li Xiuping.
There is no doubt that this young junior brother who just started has now become their scapegoat.
Someone stood up, and immediately more people stood up and told the most difficult part of their tasks. Everyone's face obviously had complaints. Only Li Xiuping secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
These tasks do sound difficult to complete, but no matter how difficult other people's tasks are, they are not as good as the tasks he got. In other words, since he can complete his own tasks, there will naturally not be much benefit in helping others complete their tasks.
The key question is how long it takes to complete.
Li Xiuping's only concern now is the time limit for completing these tasks.
After listening to the complaints of these disciples, the old man turned his eyes to Li Xiuping. When he saw the young man's confident expression, he immediately had the answer in his heart.
The old man said directly in a deep voice: "If you are not confident, you can give up your respective tasks now. However, according to the rules of the Alchemy Department, you cannot receive other tasks within half a month after giving up the task, so the right to choose lies with you."
Everyone suddenly looked bitter, but no one was willing to give up.
Although the mission completion rate has improved, as long as you cooperate well, it is not completely impossible, but the price you need to pay is definitely not small, and injuries are inevitable.
Seeing that no one gave up the task, the old man then asked: "Since you are not willing to give up, let's complete the tasks required by each. Remember, the time limit for completing the task is only three days. After three days, as long as one person
If the task has not been completed, even if there is only one, everyone's task progress will be invalidated."
After listening to it for three days, everyone felt relieved.
Li Xiuping looked at these senior brothers and felt a little embarrassed.
If he tells all about his mission, he is afraid that he will completely break the defenses of these people, and at least half of them will stand up and give up the mission on the spot.
In the final analysis, no matter how important the mission is, it is not as important as one's own life. If a group of Qi-training monks are asked to deal with a third-level monster that is as powerful as a foundation-building expert, isn't that asking them to risk their lives?
However, Li Xiuping didn't say it out loud. Although he didn't care much about whether there were these people, and if there were no tasks for these people, it would definitely be easier for him to complete his tasks alone, at least the number of tasks would be less.
A lot. But Li Xiuping knew very well that since this mission was set like this, there must be a reason for it. Once others give up the mission, his mission may also change.
But this matter cannot be hidden after all. After all, everyone needs to work together to complete the task. Once these people know that he needs to complete the task of obtaining blood lizard blood, they will still choose to give up. By that time, not only will a lot of time be wasted,
He, a junior who has just started, may offend these senior brothers.
The reason was simply because Li Xiuping didn't tell them his mission earlier, causing them to waste so much time.
But after thinking about it, Li Xiuping quickly discovered a solution, that is, after entering the mountain, he would only tell the simple tasks and put the most difficult tasks at the end, or simply find an opportunity to complete it alone.
this task.
Anyway, the elders also said that everyone only needs to complete their tasks, and there is no requirement that they must complete the tasks together.
After several people collected the jade tokens, they left the Alchemy Tower dejectedly, with Li Xiuping naturally following behind.
For these people, the probability of completing the task is about half, so although they know it is difficult, they still don’t want to give up this opportunity. After all, there is still half hope. However, if they give up the task directly, they will have to wait another half month to receive a new task.
, that would be equivalent to wasting half a month in vain. If statistics are made at the end of the month, the monthly salary that can be obtained will be pitifully small.
These disciples didn't care about Li Xiuping at all. They didn't ask what task Li Xiuping got. They just understood each other's tasks and then discussed what they should do to complete everyone's tasks within the specified time.
After some discussion, everyone seemed to remember Li Xiuping, and then they all stopped and focused on Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping had something to hide from these people. Now that he was being stared at by so many people at the same time, he felt guilty and said awkwardly: "Brothers and sisters, what's wrong?"
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, "I'm really unlucky this time. Not only did I get a very difficult task, but I also had to carry such a drag bottle, which just increased the difficulty of the task."
In their eyes, this junior fellow who has just started has not even practiced qi, and will not be able to help them at all when the time comes, and they will still waste time helping this junior fellow to complete the task. Of course, everyone feels that this
The mission of the junior brother was not that difficult, so they all decided to help the junior brother complete all his tasks first, and then complete the remaining tasks.
A burly, honest-looking man asked: "Junior brother, what are your tasks? Let us complete your tasks first, and then we will do ours."
Li Xiuping had known that these people would do this, so he smiled and said, "Thank you very much, brothers and sisters."
A pretty female disciple snorted coldly at this time: "Your task is the simplest, and it is naturally the fastest to complete. Tell us your task quickly. After we help you complete it, we will find you a safe place.
Just wait for us where you are."
Li Xiuping looked at her and thought that if I told her all about my mission, you might all have to go back the way you came.
However, Li Xiuping had already thought of this possibility before and thought of a way to deal with this situation, so he directly stated his tasks one by one, leaving only the most difficult one unspoken.
Everyone listened to Li Xiuping report his tasks and wrote them down one by one, their brows getting darker and darker because although these tasks were not difficult to complete, they were not easy either.
After listening to Li Xiuping's narration, everyone's expressions became more and more bitter. They never expected that the task given to this young junior brother who had just started was not any easier than theirs. This meant that they needed to spend a lot of time.
More time to complete this mission.
Fortunately, the time limit for this mission is as long as three days. Although it is not easy, it is still possible to complete it.
Soon a disciple said: "It's strange, we all have ten tasks, why is his task only nine?"
Everyone was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, there were indeed only nine tasks that Li Xiuping mentioned.
The burly disciple looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "Junior brother, are you sure that's all your tasks? Nothing is missing?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "That's really all."
Li Xiuping was also a little helpless at this moment. He never expected that everyone would have exactly the same number of tasks. If these people had to check his jade token to make sure that he had not missed any tasks, wouldn't his previous plans be completely different?
Got to fail?
Just when Li Xiuping was worried, the female cultivator from before stepped forward to rescue Li Xiuping.
The female cultivator glanced at Li Xiuping and said, "He has just started and has received such a difficult task. It is not unusual for him to be missing one."
Everyone nodded along and felt that Li Xiuping was excused for having one less task.
An extraordinary and handsome disciple said at this time: "In this case, our previous plan can only be abandoned. Junior Brother Li's task is not easy, so we can only disrupt all the tasks and complete the simplest ones first.
Then proceed to the more difficult tasks in sequence, so that even if the task fails in the end, the more tasks you complete, the higher the task points you can obtain, and you can still use these points to receive new tasks."
Everyone nodded and sighed: "This is all we can do now."
After deciding how to act, everyone stopped wasting time and marched directly along the mountain road towards the mission place, with Li Xiuping still walking at the end.
The difficulty of Li Xiuping's tasks was basically the same, neither too high nor too low, so naturally the first task everyone had to complete was not Li Xiuping's, but the female cultivator's first task, which was to find a ten-year-old diamond vine.
It is not difficult to find this kind of medicinal material in the deep mountains. As long as you know enough about the characteristics of the medicinal material and go to a place where Diamond Vine is easy to grow, you can find it.
A group of six people, walking as fast as flying, obviously do not want to waste even a little bit of time. After all, the faster each task is completed, the probability of completing all tasks will also increase.
The only thing that made everyone happy was that although this young junior brother who had just started had not reached the stage of Qi training, his pace was not slow. His face was not red and his heart was not beating all the way. At least he had not become a Qi practitioner yet.
Their oil bottle.
Of course, when it comes to dealing with ferocious beasts and monsters, they didn't expect this junior brother to be able to help. Now that they don't have to waste time on the road, that's enough for them. If that doesn't work, just like the female cultivator.
As they said, just find a safe place for Li Xiuping and let him stay where he is and wait for them. Anyway, the elder didn't say that everyone must complete all the tasks together...
