Chapter 91 Stone Forest City
When Lin Que arrived at the mission hall, he found that there were quite a few people there.
But there is one exception!
That is to say, there was no one from Zizhu Peak in the entire hall, or rather, no one wearing Zizhu Peak attire.
That's horrible!
This further solidified Lin Que's resolve; he would never again wear the Purple Bamboo Forest disciple's robes within the sect, no matter what.
Unless my senior brother... oh well, never mind!
I'm giving up hope.
Lin Que walked to the task list and looked at it carefully.
After scanning the entire task list, Lin Que discovered that many of the highly rewarding tasks could only be accepted by those at the Life Sea Realm.
There was only one task he felt was suitable, and he was only at the Innate Realm level.
Moreover, the pay is not low.
Strangely, during the next half hour of Lin Que's observation, many people came and went, including many disciples of sects at the Innate Realm, but none of them took on the task.
Instead, they choose tasks with lower pay.
This puzzled Lin Que. Why didn't they accept this high-paying mission for the Innate Realm?
Then, Lin Que carefully examined the description of the task once again.
The mission notice read: Rescue the laborers and monks who were scammed by the Black Spirit Mine.
The task requires participants to be at the Innate Realm level, and is limited to three to five people. The reward is five thousand low-grade spirit stones per person.
Then, there are task instructions with each piece of information clearly listed above.
To be honest, Lin Que hasn't been able to see anything wrong with it so far.
Moreover, the reward of 5,000 low-grade spirit stones per person is quite high among this group of tasks.
Even the rewards for certain missions at the Sea of Life realm are not as good as this.
Just as Lin Que was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Hey? What a coincidence, Brother Lin!"
"We were just about to come and accept the mission when we ran into you."
"Could it be that you, Brother Lin, are also here to accept a mission?"
Lin Que turned around and saw that it was Liu Dezhu and his brother greeting him.
Lin Que smiled and said, "You did come here to take on a mission, that's right."
"I've just reached a bottleneck, it's time to get out and about."
"By the way, your hair..."
That's right, the Liu brothers still have the same bald heads.
Lin Que's hair had already grown back after three months, so they should have too.
The next moment, Liu Dezhu's answer left Lin Que speechless.
"Ouch~!"
"We think that being bald suits us better, so we shaved our heads again."
"And Brother Lin, don't you think being bald is super comfortable and super good-looking?"
"I don't even need to take care of my hair anymore, all thanks to you, Brother Lin!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I think so too."
What else could Lin Que say about this?
As long as they like it.
Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, Lin Que's eyes lit up instantly!
He turned to Liu Dezhu and the other man and asked, "By the way, weren't you also planning to come and take on a mission?"
"Let's team up and take on this mission."
"How about it?"
After saying that, he pointed to the mission he had just received: "Rescue the laborers and monks of the Black Spirit Mine".
Upon hearing this, Liu Dezhu and his companion stepped forward to examine the assignment.
A moment later...
The two brothers nodded and said with a smile, "No problem!"
"Whether the pay is high or low doesn't really matter to us."
"With Brother Lin by my side, I'm sure this mission will be a great experience!"
Hearing these words, Lin Que felt indignant!
What the hell!
That's infuriating!
Why do I feel like crying and so sad?
It doesn't matter to you, but it really matters to a poor guy like me!
After waiting for a while, Liu Dezhu noticed that Lin Que had not yet accepted the task, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong, Brother Lin?"
Aren't you going to accept the mission?
Lin Que said with a smile, "You'll find out in a little while."
No sooner had the words been spoken than a woman's soft, delicate voice came from not far away.
"Brother Lin Que, it's been a long time!"
"Oh! There are two more Brother Lius here too!"
Not only Lin Que and his two companions, but even the disciples of the surrounding sects were drawn to this delicate and sweet voice.
Wow, what a sweet and beautiful woman!
"When did such a beautiful woman with a sweet voice arrive at our sect?"
"Hey, you probably don't know this now that you've just come back, but this woman is not only delicate and sweet, she's also a rare elemental spirit!"
"Hi~!"
"Mother, although I recently broke up with my boyfriend, I feel like I'm falling in love again!"
"..."
The person who arrived was Qu Lingyi.
Feeling a little embarrassed by everyone's stares, she ran towards Lin Que and the others with a slightly flushed face.
Liu Dezhu and his companion asked with some surprise, "Brother Lin, are you waiting for Sister Lingyi?"
Lin Que looked at Qu Lingyi's figure, smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right!"
"This was also asked by her master to take her with me on my missions, so that she could get some training."
Liu Buzhu said, "It seems the four of us can work together again."
"It looks pretty good!"
"I think so too!" Liu Dezhu nodded.
The two brothers were delighted by Qu Lingyi's greeting; no one could resist her sweet voice.
It feels like a piece of candy, so sweet it melts your heart.
Then, the four of them accepted the task together, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the surrounding crowd.
After accepting the mission, the four of them went to the sect's port, where the sect's public flying boats were available for the disciples to use.
There was no other way; none of the four of them could fly, so they had to take a public airship.
One positive aspect is that the public flying boats are free for sect disciples.
They just need to wait for everyone to arrive before they can set off. If they want to return to the sect, they can also choose to take a public flying boat.
As a first-rate sect, the Qingyun Sect's public flying boats generally have pick-up and drop-off points in major cities.
Fortunately, not long afterward, the airship, fully loaded, slowly started moving...
Lin Que and his group were heading to a remote town called Shilin City, a place without any flying boat stations belonging to the Qingyun Sect.
So they waited until they reached a larger city that was closer to the city before switching to land travel.
Fortunately, the deadline for this task is one month, so there is still plenty of time.
The four then rested on the flying boat, as it would take three more days to reach the large city.
......
Seven days later, in Shilin City.
In a corner by the window on the second floor of a restaurant, four people were dining.
They ate and chatted, occasionally glancing out the window at the distance.
Not far away, some cultivators were seen soliciting others on the road, and their voices were quite loud.
"Fellow Taoists!"
Come and take a look if you're passing by!
"The Spirit Stone Mine is recruiting laborers with generous pay!"
"Those who are short of spirit stones can consider this opportunity. Registration is limited to cultivators at or below the Innate Realm."
On the second floor of the restaurant, one of the four people was muttering to himself...
"No wonder the mission is limited to those at the Innate Realm, and there are also requirements on the number of participants."
That's right, these four people are Lin Que and his companions.
After leaving the Qingyun Sect, Lin Que and his companions spent three more days traveling to Shilin City.
I then spent a day gathering information before I learned the details.
Liu Dezhu and his companion asked curiously, "Brother Lin, what's wrong? Did you notice anything?"
Lin Que stared at the people soliciting customers outside the window and said, "I roughly understand why no one is taking on this mission."
"Why?" All three of them looked curious.
Lin Que no longer hid anything and explained, "To be honest, this mission is quite difficult."
"Because their requirement is to recruit only cultivators at or below the Innate Realm, it means they can definitely guarantee control over people at these levels."
"If any cultivators who are above these levels want to sign up, they will definitely be rejected."
"After being rejected, I didn't even know what the situation was like inside the spirit mine."
"So there's no way to talk about rescue."
"Besides, too many people won't work. Even if you're at the Innate Realm, it won't work if there are too many people."
"The other party will immediately become suspicious."
"I see!" The three nodded, then said, "Since Brother Lin has said so, you must already have a solution, right?"
Lin Que smiled confidently and said, "Of course!"
"Now."
"You should all hand over all your storage rings to me first."
