It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

"Don't blame me, my name is Tian Yiyi. I just happened to receive a mission and wanted to invite you to join my team."

Seeing Cheng Shuyan's defensive look, Tian Yiyi hurriedly explained.

"Fellow Daoist, I accepted a mission at the Mission Hall yesterday. I need to go to the outskirts of Qianhe Mountain and hunt down a group of blood centipedes.

The information given in the mission is that these blood centipedes are about the fourth or fifth level of Qi training, but there are five or six of them in each nest.

It's not safe for me to go alone, but I just happened to hear a fellow Taoist saying he wanted to earn some Spirit Stones, so I thought of inviting him to go with me."

Tian Yiyi spoke sincerely and explained her purpose clearly, so Cheng Shuyan let down his guard a little.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​to be honest, this is my first time in Pingshan Market, and I don't know much about the mission you mentioned. Could you please tell me in detail?"

"I see!" Tian Yiyi showed a look of understanding and continued to explain:

"The Mission Hall in Pingshan Market will issue missions from time to time. These missions are issued by monks who have needs.

Some are looking for spiritual herbs, some are hunting monsters, and some are even looking for a mate.

Anyway, as long as there are monks who have a need and are willing to bid, they can post the task, and other monks who think they can complete it will take it on."

"In that case, for tasks like hunting monsters, since the publisher knows even the basic information of the monsters, why doesn't he go himself?" Cheng Shuyan asked with some confusion.

“Those who issue these tasks are basically alchemists and weapon refiners.

They are not short of money, but combat power is often their weakness, so they are generally willing to spend money to find someone to do it for them.

Don't underestimate this task I took on. I used my connections to get the person in charge to reserve it for me.

If you can hunt enough blood centipedes, you can go to the quest hall and exchange them for 500 snacks. The quest issuer only wants the centipede blood, and we can handle the other materials ourselves."

Tian Yiyi was very patient and explained everything to Cheng Shuyan one by one.

"In that case, I'll be frank. I wonder how you plan to distribute the work once the mission is completed?"

It just so happened that she was also planning to find an opportunity to engage in actual combat to see how strong she was.

It just so happened that Tian Yiyi found her. She had a pretty good impression of Tian Yiyi, and she could earn some spirit stones at the same time, so she became interested and wanted to give it a try.

"That's right! After all, if we make it clear in advance, we can all work together."

Tian Yiyi seemed very happy that she was so frank.

"Regarding the assignment, here's what I think: I got this mission through connections, and my cultivation is slightly higher than yours.

Therefore, I plan to split the gains of this trip with you 60:40, what do you think?"

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​my name is Cheng Shuyan. I will go on this mission with you. Please take care of me."

"Okay, okay. You can take a break today. We'll meet at the east gate of the market town around this time tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave."

After saying goodbye to Tian Yiyi, Cheng Shuyan found an inn to stay in and took inventory of his current belongings.

There are more than 300 spirit stones left. The Heaven-Breaking Hammer, a gift from her senior sister, is the magic weapon she is currently using, and she also has two sets of formations given to her by her master.

These two sets of formations, one offensive and one defensive, complement each other.

Then there is a top-grade magic shield and a mid-grade magic sword given by the ancestor of the Li family.

She had never practiced these two things. The first reason was that she had never needed to use them before, and the second was that her cultivation was not enough. Even if she practiced them, she would not have enough spiritual power to use three magic tools at the same time.

Now that his cultivation has reached the fifth level of Qi training, his spiritual awareness has also improved a lot, so he decided to refine the small shield and the spirit sword in case of emergency.

The day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time to meet Tian Yiyi.

When she arrived at the east gate, Tian Yiyi was already waiting there. Seeing her, she smiled and waved at her.

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, I'm here."

"Sorry, Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​I'm late." She walked over and apologized to Tian Yiyi.

"Not late, not late. I'm the one who got here early." Tian Yiyi waved her hand and said, "Then let's set off. This place is about two hours away from Qianhe Mountain. If we hurry up, we might have time to check out the situation today."

"Okay, it's all up to you, fellow Taoist."

The two of them left Pingshan Market without further delay.

Two hours later, the two arrived at the outskirts of Qianhe Mountain.

There are no powerful monsters in Qianhe Mountain. It is said that there are only two Foundation Establishment stage monsters living in the inner area. As long as the cultivators do not take the initiative to provoke them, the two monsters will not show up easily.

Therefore, for low-level cultivators, this place is relatively safe, and there are usually many Qi-cultivating cultivators exploring the periphery.

After they arrived, they searched for the location where the blood centipedes appeared according to the map given in the mission. Along the way, they met many Qi-cultivating monks.

But everyone was in a hurry, and when they met each other, they would look wary and leave quickly.

Cheng Shuyan knew in his heart that the world of immortal cultivation was full of intrigue and deception, and many cultivators often fought each other to the point of bleeding in order to compete for cultivation resources.

There are even people with bad intentions who specialize in killing people and stealing treasures.

Therefore, it is difficult for monks to have complete trust among each other, and it is normal for the monks they meet to be wary of them.

Just like Cheng Shuyan and Tian Yiyi, the two of them are just a temporary team. On the surface, they seem to be harmonious, but in fact, they are on guard against each other in their hearts.

……

There were four locations in total on the map, and before dark, Cheng Shuyan and his companions found two of them.

There was a place where there was no trace of the blood centipede, probably because other monks had already got there first.

There was no problem at the other place. After a preliminary investigation, they found a total of nine blood centipedes.

Two of them are at the fifth level of Qi training, three are at the fourth level, and the rest are slightly weaker and are not a threat to them.

The blood centipede will spray venom to attack the enemy. If you are contaminated by its venom, although it will not be fatal, the area contaminated by the venom will gradually fester and become extremely painful and itchy.

In addition, if you are bitten by a blood centipede and fail to detoxify it in time, the toxin will spread and your life will be in danger.

With the cultivation level of Cheng Shuyan and the other two, it was a bit difficult to deal with all these blood centipedes at once.

After all, they were outnumbered, so they could only focus on the blood centipedes with higher cultivation levels. If they were attacked by other blood centipedes at close range without being prepared, they would easily get injured.

After some discussion, Cheng Shuyan and Tian Yiyi decided to find a safe place to rest first.

After all, after a whole day of traveling, both of them had consumed a lot of spiritual power. If they rashly attacked the blood centipede at this time, they would definitely not gain any benefit.

When it was completely dark, the two finally found a cave.

After each choosing a corner, they began to regulate their breathing to restore their spiritual power.
