There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Xu Ye said, "The disciples of Venerable Gu Ye are all esteemed alchemists. Alchemists are never short of merit, so it is impossible for them to participate in such a dangerous mission."

Xu Changshou thought for a moment and then asked, "Why should such a good thing happen to me?"

Xu Changshou remained wary. Although he trusted Xu Ye enough, he understood even more that the Donghua Immortal Sect was a place that valued connections and backgrounds, and good tasks were not given to menial servants.

"What a coincidence!"

Xu Ye smiled and said, "According to Venerable Guye's requirements, one of the people who go to carry out this mission must be skilled in lightning attacks. I know you are skilled in lightning attacks, so I strongly recommended you. Don't worry, the danger of this mission is within a controllable range. Otherwise, the three of us siblings would not have gone."

"Ok!"

Xu Changshou nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and also felt that there was no major problem. Finally, he asked, "How many merits will I get for completing this mission?"

Xu Ye smiled: "This mission costs a total of 250 merit points. Five people will go to complete the mission. After the mission is completed, each person will receive 50 merit points."

"Fifty merit points! That's a lot!"

Xu Changshou's eyes widened in disbelief as he realized that the difference in treatment between inner disciples and menial disciples was enormous, like heaven and earth.

Fifty merit points are equivalent to his basic salary over two thousand five hundred years.

"Great, I just need merit points!" Xu Changshou said with a smile.

Xu Ye rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't be too happy yet. Although I strongly recommended you, Venerable Guye and my master are not at ease when they heard that you are a menial disciple. They said they want to put you through a test."

What will be assessed?

"Lightning-attribute magic attack."

"This is easy to handle!"

Xu Changshou nodded secretly. He was most skilled at lightning-attribute attacks, so this was no challenge for him at all.

"When do we depart?" Xu Changshou asked.

Xu Ye said, "This mission involves five people. Besides you and the three of us, there is also a disciple of Venerable Wanyan. Venerable Wanyan's disciple is currently away and is on his way to the sect. He should be back in ten days at most. We will set off once he returns."

Xu Changshou pondered for a moment, then finally asked, "What preparations do I need to make?"

Xu Ye took a sip of tea and said, "If possible, it's best to prepare a mid-level magic weapon. The place we're going to is called the Ten Thousand Thunder Cave, where lightning strikes all year round. If you have enough spirit stones, it's best to prepare an additional lightning-avoiding robe."

"it is good!"

“Junior Brother Changshou, I must take my leave now. I will inform you when Venerable Wanyan’s disciple returns.”

"Take care, Junior Brother Xu Ye!"

After seeing Xu Ye off, Xu Changshou went straight to Youbi Peak and arrived at Donghua Equipment Workshop.

Upon entering the shop, I was greeted by an elderly man surnamed Gong.

Upon seeing Xu Changshou, the old man surnamed Gong greeted him with a smile: "It's you, kid. Come, come, what kind of magic weapon do you want this time?"

Xu Changshou smiled and asked, "Do you have any intermediate-level magic weapons with lightning attribute attacks?"

That's right, this time, Xu Changshou is going to buy a mid-level magic weapon with the lightning attribute.

His True Thunder Technique can be used in conjunction with magic weapons for attacks. If he has a mid-level magic weapon with the lightning attribute, his lightning-attribute spell attacks can be enhanced by three points.

Xu Changshou hadn't bought any magic weapons before, not because he didn't have the money, but because he didn't need them when he went out.

This is a long trip, and we'll be leaving the Donghua Immortal Sect, so we definitely need to gather all the necessary equipment.

"What kind of intermediate-level lightning-attribute magic weapon do you want?" the old man surnamed Gong asked with a smile.

Xu Changshou casually replied, "Sword!"

"Please wait!"

The old man surnamed Gong ran over, tidied things up, and took out three swords, placing them on the counter.

Xu Changshou glanced at the three swords. One was a broad sword, one was a narrow sword, and the last one was neither broad nor narrow. The blade was covered with fish-scale-like thunder patterns.

Xu Changshou first picked up the broadsword. It was quite heavy, and the broadsword in his hand made him look particularly domineering.

The elderly man surnamed Gong explained, "This sword is called the Thunderclap Sword. It is a heavy sword, suitable for wide-ranging thunder-attribute moves, and its attack power is extremely domineering."

Xu Changshou shook his head slightly, put down the Thundercloud Sword, and didn't like this style of sword. He wasn't used to using this kind of sword.

Then, Xu Changshou picked up the narrow sword again.

The elderly man surnamed Gong explained, "This sword is called the Flying Thunder Sword. Its blade is light and agile, making it suitable for flexible lightning-attribute techniques."

Xu Changshou shook his head again.

The Flying Thunder Sword is clearly a magical artifact suitable for women, and this sword is not suitable for him.

Putting down the Flying Thunder Sword, Xu Changshou finally picked up the sword whose blade was covered with fish-scale-like thunder patterns.

This sword is just right for Xu Changshou; its length and weight are both suitable for him.

The old man surnamed Gong smiled and said, "This sword is called the Thunder Scale Sword. The design of the Thunder Scale Sword is conventional and suitable for most people. Moreover, the attack of the Thunder Scale Sword is no weaker than that of the Thunder Sky Sword."

"In addition, the Thunderscale Sword is also a lightning-avoiding magic weapon, which can shield lightning to a certain extent."

"Oh?"

Xu Changshou became interested. Soon he would be entering the Ten Thousand Thunder Cave, where lightning never dissipates. Bringing a lightning-avoiding magic item would save him a lot of trouble.

Although he was tempted, Xu Changshou did not show it and calmly put down the Thunderscale Sword.

The old man surnamed Gong frowned slightly and hurriedly said, "Young Xu, we have other types of lightning-attribute magic weapons here. There must be one that suits you. Would you like to take a look?"

Xu Changshou scratched his head, pointed to the Thunderscale Sword, and asked, "How much is this?"

"The Thunderscale Sword is a lightning-attribute magic weapon. As you should know, lightning-attribute magic weapons are quite rare, hence their high price. And since this Thunderscale Sword is also a lightning-avoiding magic weapon, its price will be extremely high!"

"As far as individual magical artifacts are concerned, this one is almost the most expensive in our store, requiring 600 million high-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing his words, Xu Changshou frowned slightly.

The elderly man surnamed Gong explained, "Young friend Xu, you are a regular customer. If you really want it, I can give you a discount."

Xu Changshou changed the subject and asked, "Do you have a lightning-avoiding robe?"

They were about to head to the Thunder Cave, but Xu Changshou didn't know anything about it. To be on the safe side, he decided to buy some extra lightning protection equipment.

"Have!"

The elderly man surnamed Gong smiled slightly and said, "Please wait a moment."

After speaking, the elderly man surnamed Gong walked behind the counter and quickly found a gray-brown Taoist robe inside.

Xu Changshou looked at it; the gray-brown Taoist robe looked unremarkable, but its workmanship was exquisite.

The old man surnamed Gong said, "This is a mass-produced lightning-avoiding robe from our shop, called the Gray Robe. Don't let its unassuming appearance fool you; it's made of very solid materials. Young friend Xu, if you want it, it's 100 million high-grade spirit stones. That's the market price."

"Ok!"

Xu Changshou touched the lightning-avoiding robe, then casually tossed it on the counter, and asked, "Uncle Gong, I want a flying magic weapon that can travel relatively fast."

"Ha ha!"

The old man surnamed Gong laughed loudly: "Flying magic weapons are the main products of our shop. What level do you want?"

Xu Changshou asked, "What levels are there?"
