"Who wants your head? I want the spirit stones! You destroyed my and Brother Xiao's yard like this, don't you want compensation?"

Huang Yushu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Compensation!"

He took a look at the cracked ground and estimated that a few dozen low-grade spirit stones should be enough.

But to show his sincerity, he said, "One thousand low-grade spirit stones! Brother, do you think it's okay?"

Qian Wandai was stunned: "So you want to die!"

Huang Yushu was startled, his face pale as he asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"

"You beat me up like this, and you don't need medicine money?"

"But...but that was Zhang Youde's doing!"

"You disturbed Brother Xiao's training and nearly caused him to go insane! Don't you want compensation for mental damages?"

"But... when I arrived, Young Master Xiao Chen had already come out of seclusion!"

"You still dare to quibble? Most importantly, how many spirit stones do you think your life is worth? Is a thousand low-grade spirit stones enough? I don't think your life is that cheap, is it?"

Seeing Xiao Chen's cold gaze sweeping over, Huang Yushu's body suddenly stiffened, and he quickly changed his words: "Ten thousand, no, thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones! This is all I have, I really don't have any more!"

"Fuck! You're the son of the ancient Huang family, and your entire fortune only has 30,000 low-grade spirit stones? You're even poorer than me! Do you think I'd believe that?"

"I... I'm from the side branch, and I only have 10,000 low-grade spirit stones a month. Plus, I have to practice and socialize every day, so my expenses are very high. I..."

"Brother Xiao, this guy is a pauper. There is no money to be made from him. He only has 30,000. Do you want to kill him?" Qian Bandai looked at Xiao Chen. He was very disappointed. He thought it was a big fish, but he didn't expect it was only 30,000!

"Let him go!"

Xiao Chen spoke. He only had 150,000 to 160,000 low-grade spirit stones on him. Although 30,000 was not a lot, it was acceptable.

"Thank you, Young Master Xiaochen!" After handing over a thick stack of spirit tickets, Huang Yushu fled for his life like a stray dog.

"Damn it! I actually encountered such a person in this small Green Maple City!"

He felt it was outrageous that he had kicked a wall when he tried to bully a small, reserve yellow-level treasure-swallower, but he did not dare to retaliate because Xiao Chen had someone behind him, a powerful person that even his Huang family had to face up to!

"Brother Qian, take a few!" In the courtyard, Xiao Chen took out a few spirit tickets and handed them to Qian Wandai, each ticket was worth one thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Qian Wandai shook his head: "No merit, no reward. Brother Xiao, you can keep it!"

Xiao Chen laughed and scolded: "You are so polite to me!"

"Although you and I are friends for life and death, there must still be boundaries." Qian Bandai is a man of particularities.

Xiao Chen didn't act pretentiously and put the spirit ticket away. He really needed spirit stones now.

Qian Bandai prepared some simple food, including braised pork trotters and boiled pork. Xiao Chen ate some and started practicing again.

Sunset and moonrise.

late at night.

Qian Wandai has fallen asleep and is snoring loudly.

Xiao Chen had just finished his training and came out of the secret room. Looking at the bright moon and the stars in the sky, his tense mood relaxed for a moment.

In his previous life, he loved watching the stars and the moon alone at night and enjoying the beautiful night view.

But ever since he entered this fantasy world where combat power represents everything, he has been practicing with all his strength like a taut string. It has been a long time since he has been alone facing the stars and the moon in such peace and tranquility as he is now.

"This is a wonderful world, where you can have everything if you have strength. This is also a cruel world, where you may become a dead bone on the roadside at any time. What will be my ending?" Xiao Chen sighed to the moon.

Just then, someone knocked on the gate.

Xiao Chen was stunned. He and Qian Wandai had no relatives in Green Maple City. Who would look for him so late?

When I opened the door, I saw a beautiful and elegant face.

"Senior Sister Meng?"

Xiao Chen was surprised that the person who came was Meng Hanqiu.

"I have something to ask you."

Meng Hanqiu glanced at Xiao Chen coldly and spoke.

Xiao Chen invited Meng Hanqiu in. There was only an old stone table in the yard. The two sat down. Xiao Chen asked Meng Hanqiu if he wanted some tea. Meng Hanqiu shook his head and said, "I suddenly have a very difficult task. Do you want to take it?"

The reason why she visited so late at night was that Bai Hong had just sent her a message saying that the palace had just issued a very lucrative task. In the spirit of keeping the money within the family, he helped Meng Hanqiu to intercept it in advance.

Good tasks need to be snatched up. In order to avoid infighting, the Swallowing Treasure Hall stipulates that only one person can take on a task. If it is not completed within the specified time, it will be considered a mission failure. Not only will a certain amount of merit be deducted, but the person will not be allowed to take on new tasks within half a month.

"A very difficult task? What task?" Xiao Chen asked. He became excited when he mentioned the task.

"Our palace's spies just discovered a demon lair three hundred miles from Green Maple City, near Baishan City. There's a suspected low-grade spiritual vein underneath! Those demons are incredibly powerful and brutal, devouring people everywhere. Thousands of Baishan City residents have lost their lives in the past month!"

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned.

Thousands of people died in the past month?

What kind of demon could be so ferocious? Although demons are rampant nowadays, it is rare to see a few scattered demons so rampant!

Also, doesn’t Baishan City care?

Also, spiritual veins, good stuff!

What he lacks now is something that can increase his energy and blood, as well as spirit stones!

Under the moonlight, the world was hazy. Meng Hanqiu couldn't see Xiao Chen's face clearly, but he could sense his emotional fluctuations. He said, "Baishan City is just a small city with a population of only 200,000. The strongest person is the city lord Liu Da, a fifth-level Grandmaster."

"But this man is a coward. He only led his men to encircle and suppress the demons once, and before they even fought, he was so frightened by the mere sensation of the demons' ferocious power from afar that he fled back to the city and hid in his mansion, refusing to come out!"

"Anyway, the demons won't attack the city. As long as they don't leave, they can't do any harm! But the common people have to make a living. Hunters have to go up the mountain to hunt, farmers have to go out to farm, fruit growers have to go out to tend to the spiritual fruit trees, and all kinds of merchants have to buy goods!"

Under the starlight and moonlight, Xiao Chen fell silent.

Not all city lords are righteous people. Some city lords are willing to die for the people and use their flesh and blood to stand before the people, but they are a minority after all.

There are more people like Liu Da.

In troubled times, the people suffered terribly.

It is difficult enough to survive on a normal day, and encountering some evil spirit is a disaster.

There is still moonlight and starlight in the dark night, which can bring some brightness, but when the people are trapped in darkness, there is no guarantee that anyone will help them!

"What are the strengths of those monsters?" Xiao Chen asked.

"I don't know the details, but it shouldn't exceed the King Realm!" Meng Hanqiu said.

Below the King Realm, Xiao Chen is invincible!

She knew that Xiao Chen was eager to take the mission. The merits and benefits of this mission were not much weaker than those of the Blood Refining Flower. She believed that Xiao Chen would definitely be interested.

Xiao Chen had saved her in the Blood Corpse Mountain before, and he got ten merit points for free. After Bai Hong intercepted this mission, she came to find Xiao Chen first, which can be regarded as her intention to return the favor!

"What is the quest item?"

"Half of a low-grade spiritual vein."

Xiao Chen was stunned: "Where's the remaining half?"

A low-grade spirit vein can produce at least 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, and a better one can produce hundreds of thousands!

Just hand over half of the spiritual vein!

Doesn't that mean the rest belongs to them?
