Lin San's thought was simple. Since he couldn't refuse the task assigned by Fengchi City, he should use this opportunity to gain more benefits. Anyway, he couldn't work for Fengchi City in vain. Lin San had also heard about the dangers of the wilderness. .
The wilderness refers to the area that has not been developed by humans. In the wilderness, many ferocious beasts survive. There are also some ancient tribes. The environment is also very harsh. However, the wilderness grows many elixirs that have become extinct in the outside world. , spiritual herbs. Every year, some immortal cultivators who are not afraid of death sneak into the wilderness to search for extinct elixirs and spiritual herbs. In the end, only one percent can come out alive.
The old woman was silent for a moment: "Okay. I agree to your request. Let's do this. I will give you all a large amount of spiritual stones. How about it." The old woman thought about it and decided to come up with some compensation.
"How many spiritual stones can each person get?" Lin San asked directly.
The old woman glanced at Lin San and stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand low-level spiritual stones for each person."
Lin San smiled: "Are our lives only worth ten thousand low-level spiritual stones?"
"That's too little." The old woman frowned: "Okay. Just tell me the number."
Lin San chirped: "It will increase ten times more."
"What. You want 100,000 low-level spiritual stones..." The old woman's expression suddenly changed.
Lin San nodded: "That's right. Just one hundred thousand low-level spiritual stones."
"Impossible. It's impossible for me to give you one hundred thousand low-level spiritual stones." The old woman refused simply.
"You only gave 10,000 low-level spiritual stones. We will never accept it." Lin San's attitude was also very firm.
The old woman took a deep breath: "I will give you at most 50,000 low-level spiritual stones."
Lin San pouted but said nothing.
"Fifty thousand low-level spiritual stones are not too little. I hope you won't push yourself too far." The old woman looked directly at Lin San and said coldly.
Lin San thought for a while: "Okay. Then fifty thousand low-level spiritual stones." Seeing that the old woman had indeed reached her limit, Lin San didn't want to make any more trouble. There were eight people on his side. Together they amount to 400,000 low-level spiritual stones. It’s not a small amount.
When she heard that Lin San accepted her conditions, the old woman's expression was obviously relieved. The evolution of things today was a bit beyond her expectation. But fortunately, it was resolved smoothly in the end.
"What's the name of the herbs you want us to pick? What's their special shape?" Lin San asked.
The old woman stretched out her hand and a piece of bamboo paper flew toward Lin San: "The names and shapes of the medicinal herbs are written on the bamboo paper. You can see for yourselves."
Lin San caught the bamboo note, opened it and glanced at it a few times, then handed the bamboo note to several golden elixir stage immortal cultivators around him.
There were just a few words written on the bamboo paper. Phantom grass usually grows on cliffs. It has six leaves and a small blue flower in the middle. The roots are very long. Every night, Phantom grass grows. It will hide its traces. It will not be until the sun rises the next day that the phantom grass will reappear.
"What is the phantom grass used for? This is the first time I have heard the name phantom grass." A gentle-looking man asked in confusion after reading the jade note.
"You are only responsible for picking phantom grass. There is no need to know too much about other things." The old woman said calmly.
The gentle-looking man frowned and said nothing.
"Okay. I've finished what I have to say. You also know the names and shapes of the herbs. Now you can go back to your residence." The old woman began to issue an eviction order.
Lin San was stunned: "You let us go back."
"You will not go on the mission until half a month later." The old woman explained briefly: "In the remaining half month, I hope you can practice with peace of mind and keep your condition at its best. This way you can enter the wilderness. Only when the time comes can we better protect ourselves.”
Hearing that he had to wait half a month before going to the wilderness, Lin San couldn't help but feel relieved. He said hello to the old woman, turned around and left the hall. Lin San didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay." A voice shouted from behind.
Lin San turned around in confusion and saw a gentle-looking man walking over. Lin San vaguely remembered seeing this man in the lobby of Shunfeng Building just now.
"Hello, fellow Taoist." The gentle-looking man bowed his hand to Lin San.
"Hello." Lin San responded politely: "Do you have a problem with me?"
"Oh, we met just now at Shunfeng Building," the gentle man reminded.
Lin San smiled: "I remember."
"I'm Li Chengfeng. I'm a casual cultivator. May I ask Gaotai your surname?" the gentle man said politely.
"My surname is Lin. It only has three characters." Lin San also said his name out of politeness.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, can you find a place to have a detailed discussion?" Li Chengfeng invited.
Lin San hesitated and nodded: "Okay."
Seeing Lin San agreeing, Li Chengfeng's face suddenly became happy: "Fellow Taoist Lin, please come this way." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards a teahouse diagonally opposite.
Lin San followed leisurely.
After a while, Li Chengfeng and Lin San walked into the teahouse.
Li Chengfeng seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the teahouse. He led Lin San to turn left and right and arrived at a private room.
The private room is very clean and the area is not small. There is a mahogany table and four chairs in the middle.
Li Chengfeng invited Lin San to sit on the main seat and asked: "Fellow Taoist Lin, what kind of tea do you like to drink."
"Whatever. I'm never picky about tea." Lin San smiled.
Li Chengfeng turned around and clapped his hands.
A guy opened the door and walked in.
"Go and bring the best tea here." Li Chengfeng ordered.
The waiter responded and exited the private room.
Li Chengfeng pulled out his chair and sat across from Lin San: "Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you think of this trip to the wilderness?"
Lin San raised his head and glanced at Li Chengfeng. He said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Li has something to say, but it's okay to say it. There's no need to be secretive."
"Ah. Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed a quick talker. Okay, I will open the skylight and speak frankly. In fact, I am looking for you because..." Li Chengfeng was about to express what he was thinking when he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from the door. Suddenly Closed his mouth.
"Squeak." The door of the private room was pushed open. The waiter who had exited just now walked in. He was holding a pot of tea and two teacups in his hand. He put down the teapot and teacups, and the waiter turned and left.
Li Chengfeng picked up the teapot and poured Lin San a cup of tea himself: "Fellow Taoist Lin, please have a taste. The tea in this tea shop tastes very good. I used to come here often."
Lin San picked up the teacup, blew the hot air from the cup, put it to his mouth, and slowly took a sip: "Hmm, it tastes quite fragrant. Not bad." As he spoke, Lin San took another sip.
After exchanging a few words, Li Chengfeng got down to the topic: "Friend Daoist Lin, as far as I know, there are many ferocious beasts in the wilderness. The environment is also very harsh. It is said that there are some ancient tribes in the wilderness. These ancient tribes are ferocious in nature. Very hostile to outsiders. Many immortal cultivators were killed by those ancient tribesmen in the past..."
Lin San curled his lips: "Friend Daoist Li, I already know what you said. There is no need for you to repeat it again." Lin San's meaning was very simple. Let Li Chengfeng stop talking about irrelevant nonsense.
