As soon as Cao Yan saw Wang Qi appear, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Wang, please give me a few more days of grace. I will definitely get the Xuan Guang Mirror back."
"Junior sister Cao, what's the relationship between us? You've already opened your mouth, how can I not agree?" Wang Qi said, changing the subject: "However, I have to go out to do sect tasks in a few days, so I can't be empty-handed.
It’s time to go out, don’t you think?”
"What does Senior Brother Wang mean?" Cao Yan said.
"Give Junior Sister five more days, no! Ten days. If Junior Sister can't get the Xuan Guang Mirror back by then, what should we do?"
"Senior Brother Wang, don't worry, ten days will definitely be enough. I will definitely get the mirror back."
"It's not that I don't believe in Junior Sister. It's just that, what if, I mean, what if Junior Sister can't get it back?"
"If I still can't get it back in ten days, I'll let Senior Brother Wang do whatever he wants!" Cao Yan gritted her teeth.
"Okay! Then it's settled!" Wang Qi chuckled.
After Cao Yan left, a snake demon with the head of a human and the body of a snake came out from behind the screen and said: "Since the master has fallen in love with that girl, he just told her directly. As for being so round and round?"
"This is called methods and strategies, you don't understand! Besides, if you go straight, how can there be any fun in going straight?"
…
Just when Cao Yan was worrying about how to get the Xuanguang Mirror back from Lin Fan, Lin Fan had already faced his first task after getting started.
Inside Qianji Pavilion.
A deacon placed three jade slips in front of Lin Fan and said: "This is a task issued by the sect. As a newcomer doing the task for the first time, Senior Nephew Lin can choose any of them."
Lin Fan nodded, took the jade slip and examined it.
The mission recorded in the first jade slip is to guard the Diyuan Cave for ten years.
He has heard of the Diyuan Cave. It is said that this cave is a million feet deep, and that the bottom of the cave communicates with a secret realm of the demonic world. Although the cave was sealed by an expert from the Xueyang Sect using a magic circle, there is still a subtle amount of demonic energy.
gush out.
Therefore, the task of guarding the cave is not only boring, but there is also the danger of being eroded by evil spirits.
Although the reward is very generous, the total reward in ten years is as high as five thousand spirit stones!
But for him who has no shortage of spiritual stones for the time being, it can be said to be the next best choice.
Then, he picked up the second jade slip and read it.
This task is to garrison a certain city for five years.
As a garrison, he is mainly responsible for clearing away the monsters inside and outside the city to ensure that most people are not disturbed by monsters. In addition, he also needs to ensure the normal production of the black iron mines on the outskirts of the city.
Of course, if there is a sneak attack by a hostile sect, you also have the responsibility to defend yourself.
However, this possibility is naturally extremely small.
This task is simple, but the reward is also small, only two hundred spirit stones per year.
He was not in a hurry to choose, but picked up the third jade slip and read it.
Alchemist Guangcheng, who works in Lidan Pavilion, is currently short of a handyman alchemist.
The third task is to become an alchemy disciple in Lidan Pavilion for six years.
This task has the highest reward, which is six hundred spirit stones every year!
Lin Fan knew something about this alchemist Guangcheng.
This person's alchemy skills are average, but he has a great temper. He is especially harsh on his alchemy disciples.
If there is anything that the alchemist does that makes him dissatisfied, he will be scolded at least, or fined directly at worst!
Alchemy disciples have to learn a lot of knowledge about elixirs, which is already very difficult to get started. Coupled with the harsh requirements of this alchemy master, you can imagine how hard it will be.
However, this task is just right for him.
Because he had the Enlightenment Tower in hand, he had long wanted to study the art of elixirs, but he had always suffered from the lack of books and guidance from others, and was unable to get started.
As for Guangcheng's so-called strict requirements, he also had some understanding. Most of them were requirements on the craftsmanship and details of the elixir, and were not simply unreasonable.
He was looking for this kind of harsh teaching, so how could he back down?
He shook the third jade slip and said: "Uncle Qi, this disciple has chosen this task."
Hearing this, the deacon was shocked and said: "Master Nephew Lin, are you sure? You know, this task is not as simple as it seems."
Then, the deacon told Lin Fan a lot about how torturous the alchemy disciple's task was, and how many disciples who had done it were miserable.
If Lin Fan's previous choice was only based on his own situation, after hearing the other party's persuasion, he became more determined in his choice.
You know, he and this deacon just met by chance. Why was the other party so kind and asked him to give up his mission as an alchemist?
Just because he's handsome?
Obviously not.
There must be a reason for this that he doesn't know.
However, he knows one thing.
That is the kind of task that no one is willing to take. If someone takes it, there are certain benefits to being the deacon who releases the task.
After all, someone has to do the dirty work, right?
Therefore, he accepted the mission of this alchemy disciple. It was too late for the other party to be happy, and he should not persuade him no matter what.
When the deacon finished speaking, Lin Fan pretended to be stupid and said: "This disciple has been yearning for the art of alchemy since he was a child, so he chose this task."
Seeing the other party's firm attitude, the deacon had no choice but to say: "Okay, this is your own choice, just don't regret it in the future!"
Then, he handed Lin Fan a mission jade talisman and said: "Just take this jade talisman and go to Lidan Pavilion to report. Remember, you must report within three days at the latest."
"Disciple accepts the order!"
Lin Fan took the jade talisman and left Qianji Pavilion.
When the deacon saw the other party walking away, he thought to himself: "Little niece, Third Uncle has already secretly helped you. But this person actually wanted to become an alchemist and did not choose the task of guarding the city."
Speaking of which, the three tasks he gave the other party today were specially selected under his authority.
The purpose is to let the other party choose the task of garrisoning the city.
On the surface, there seems to be no problem with this task, but as a member of the Zifu family, the Cao family secretly received a hint of information.
Since a mineral vein was discovered at the junction of the Yuxu Sect and the Xueyang Sect, it won't be long before the two sects are bound to have a conflict.
The city required to be garrisoned for the mission is quite close to the mine. Once a conflict occurs, it will be the first to be affected.
At that time, no matter who becomes the city guard, I am afraid that they will escape death!
"Hey... it's a pity that such a good opportunity was allowed to escape by that kid." The chief deacon sighed.
…
Caiquan Island.
Since there were still three days left, Lin Fan did not rush to set off, but planned to use this time to try to refine a few talismans.
The first is to get familiar with the refining of the yellow talisman, and the second is to review the techniques for refining the talisman.
After all, it has been several years since he last made a talisman. After being idle for a long time, his skills will inevitably become rusty.
As soon as he spread out the talisman paper, he heard Lao Niu shouting in the courtyard: "Friend Daoist Lin, those crazy bitches are screaming outside the island again."
"It doesn't matter. Since this person is willing, let her shout. I will refine a batch of talismans next. From now on, you can just take care of this kind of thing. You don't have to ask me." Lin Fan said.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Lin, I'm going to drive that crazy woman away right away!" Black Bear said.
