Traveling through the Immortal Cultivation World: I Use Solar Energy to Cultivate

Du Juan led Wang Bin back to the second floor of the shop. They found a compartment, and Mr. Li immediately set up a ban.

Du Juan brewed three cups of tea, and then Mr. Li spoke with a smile on his face:

"Fellow Daoist Qingmu, that's not right, you should call me Junior Brother Wang!

Junior Brother Wang is truly a hidden talent. He managed to 'seduc' our Deacon Du before we even knew it, and even helped her successfully form a pill. That's quite a feat! So courageous!

Wang Bin was not surprised to hear Mr. Li address him.

After all, if you just go to Baiyun City and ask around, you'll find out that his last name is Wang. Only someone who doesn't pay any attention to him would keep calling him Qingmu.

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. Du Juan's talent is already outstanding, and for a Jindan cultivator to fully assist a Foundation Establishment cultivator in breaking through to the Jindan stage, this isn't too difficult.

Let's get down to business. I came to you this time because I really have something to ask for."

"Oh! Tell me first. I've worked with Du Juan for so many years, so anything I can help with shouldn't be a big deal."

Mr. Li smiled and said polite words, thinking in his heart that as long as there was benefit, everything could be negotiated.

Wang Bin didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

“It’s about a mission I suddenly received.

You also understand my situation. I am an outer sect elder in name only. I am a marginal figure and only need to complete one sect mission every hundred years.

It has only been more than ten years since I broke through the Golden Core stage. Yesterday, someone from the Foreign Affairs Hall informed me that I had to rush to Xihai City within fifteen days to carry out a mission.

I just felt that something was amiss with this matter, and I was afraid there might be something fishy going on, so…"

After hearing this, Mr. Li's eyes flickered slightly.

This situation is indeed abnormal and does not conform to normal procedures.

But since the task notice has been issued, there must be someone behind the scenes.

"Wait! Let me ask."

Old Li took out a communication token from his waist and spoke into it.

Wang Bin took a look at his waist. Wow, there were three communication tokens. This power was much greater than his own. He was also a Jindan cultivator, but the Sihai Merchant Alliance had not issued him a single communication token.

Wang Bin and Du Juan waited for a while, and then Mr. Li took out another communication token and chatted for a while.

Then he looked at Wang Bin in surprise: "Junior Brother Wang, you actually buried a third-level spiritual vein under Baiyun City, amazing!

It’s true that people can’t be judged by their appearance!

I, Li Shihao, have been practicing for three hundred years, but I still haven't obtained a third-level spiritual vein.

This news shocked me. No wonder someone is targeting you.

I have inquired about the matter clearly. This is a case of possessing a treasure and committing a crime. Someone coveted your third-level spiritual vein and wanted to take it for himself, so he used his connections to arrange this task for you.

This mission is to go to Donghai City and help the Zhang family resist the attacks of the All Living Beings Sect and the sea monsters.

As for whether it's dangerous or not, you should know it in your heart. This message, five thousand medium-grade spirit stones, take it!"

Wang Bin didn't say anything more and directly counted out six thousand medium-grade spirit stones and handed them to Mr. Li.

He was impressed by the old man Li's wide network of contacts, and also had a little admiration for the enemy who had plotted against him.

This conspiracy is so airtight.

If he dared to disobey the orders of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, he would have to rebel against the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, and then Baiyun City would definitely not belong to him.

By then, in their eyes, I, a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core, would be easily captured.

If I follow the sect's arrangements, as a person in the early stage of the Golden Core, and run to Donghai City, which is more than 100,000 miles away, to fight against monsters and the Sect of All Living Beings, there is a high probability that I will never come back.

If I were just an ordinary Jindan cultivator, I would have basically no way to break out of this deadlock.

The person behind the scenes can easily achieve his goal without even showing his face, and when he dies, he won't even know who did it.

"Hey! This conspiracy is really powerful. If we talk about internal fighting, it has to be a human cultivator.

Mr. Li, you know the whole story better than I do. I don't want to carry out this mission, and it's against the rules for them to assign it.

But I am powerless and have no say, so there is really nothing I can do. Even if I go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to make a scene, it will probably be useless and nothing will be done in the end.

Just name your price, I know you can handle this.

Although the Chu family has the final say in Xihai City, the entire Sihai Business Alliance is still dominated by your Li family.

And I don't think the Chu family did this. I have some friendship with Chu Wu and Chu Tianwen, so they don't need this kind of thing at all."

Old Li looked at Wang Bin seriously. In fact, he had just found out which family was behind the scenes.

The Niu family is also an old Jindan family in Xihai City, with three Jindan cultivators in the family.

Their family head, Niu Fen, was known as the Fierce Bull Immortal. He had reached the late Jindan stage of cultivation. The family leader practiced physical exercises and was a well-known figure in the Jindan realm.

He is over 300 years old this year. In recent years, a genius with two spiritual roots has emerged in the family. There is a great hope that he will achieve the Golden Elixir in the future.

But the Niu family only has one third-level spiritual vein, which is only enough for two Jindan cultivators and a group of foundation-building and Qi-refining cultivators to practice.

There was also a Jindan cultivator who could only find a place to practice by becoming an outer sect elder in the Sihai Merchant Alliance.

Therefore, the Niu family urgently needs a third-level spiritual vein, otherwise this genius with two spiritual roots will have no place to practice properly.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mr. Li decided to tell the truth:

"Junior Brother Wang, your mission as an outer sect elder is not a difficult task for me. I have handled it many times.

Normally, if you give me 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones, I can arrange for someone else to complete this task for you. But..."

Du Juan's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Mr. Li, please help my husband. How many spirit stones does it take? Just tell me the number. I have to ask before I know if it's okay or not!"

Li Lao's eyes lit up slightly. Yes! He really didn't want to offend the Niu family, but if Wang Bin offered enough reward, there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do.

But he still said seriously:

“I don’t want to offend the family that’s targeting your third-level spiritual vein this time.

Of course, it depends on whether you are willing to pay! One hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones, as long as you have this amount, I will fight to help you block this thing! "

After Li Shihao finished speaking, he calmed down. No matter what choice Wang Bin made, he could accept it.

He actually didn't want to get involved in this mess, but if he was really given 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones, he would have no problem doing it himself.

One hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones can buy a quarter of a Ningying Pill, and even Niu Fen himself can’t do anything about it.

Wang Bin and Du Juan looked at each other. It was only 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones, which didn’t seem like a lot.

When Du Juan's golden elixir was successful, Wang Bin gave her 200,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

Wang Bin was hesitant, not because he was reluctant to give up the 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones, but because with his status, it would be too conspicuous for him to take out 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones at once.

The source of spirit stones becomes a problem. After all, my family is not an old Jindan family with hundreds of years of inheritance.

He had only been at the Golden Core stage for over a decade, but he had already spent over 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones in the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.

Now there is another third-level spirit vein. If I casually take out another 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones, then I will be in trouble...
