Mortal's Immortal Way of Longevity

Chapter 3 The Suspicious Person
After obtaining Huanglong Pill from Han Li in exchange, Ye Changsheng immediately went back and began to meditate.

In this icy world, without enough cultivation, he couldn't give him any sense of security.

After paying the price of four spirit stones and bribing a Consul disciple of Baijitang, Ye Changsheng got a task to hand in the spirit medicine.

"Take care of thirteen five-flower trees, and hand in two hundred fruits every year!"

That's fine, it's a yearly job.

Unlike other quests, you need to reclaim them every month.

This is in line with Ye Changsheng's expectations. What he is most afraid of now is trouble.

As long as you can practice steadily, it is better than anything else.

After receiving the task, Ye Changsheng moved out of the stone house residential area where thousands of new disciples of the Qi refining period gathered.

He lived in the medicine garden, and it was much cleaner here.

Without further ado, we began to retreat.

Three months have passed, and his cultivation has advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Half a year later, he broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

A year later, Ye Changsheng came to the tenth floor of Qi Refining.

In Baijitang, the consular disciple who accepted Ye Changsheng's bribe back then frowned and asked, "Junior Brother Ye, do you think you still want to continue to do that mission?"

"Yes, is there any problem, Senior Brother Li?"

"Turn in two hundred fruits every year, and I hand in all of them!"

"It's not a problem! It's just that, with your cultivation level"

A look of surprise flashed in Senior Brother Li's eyes.

If I remember correctly, when Junior Brother Ye came to Baiji Hall a year ago, his cultivation level was relatively low, right?
How many layers of Qi refining are there?

Can't remember exactly, but it seems pretty low.

Now, did you actually reach the tenth level of Qi training all at once?

So fast?
Even with dual spiritual roots, this speed of practice seems a little incredible, right?

Ye Changsheng, I have never heard that he is a child of a big family!
As long as it is a family that can be called by name, Senior Brother Li, a disciple of Shuanglinggen in the family, knows it all.

Ye Changsheng seems to be a casual cultivator!

How can a casual cultivator practice so quickly without the support of his family?
Something is wrong!
There must be something weird about him!
"There should be some method on him that can speed up his practice, and this method was obtained after entering the Yellow Maple Valley!" Senior Brother Li thought in his heart.

Before receiving this mission, Ye Changsheng's cultivation base was very low, and he didn't seem to have had any adventures.

After receiving this task, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the task of looking after the streaky tree?
What kind of adventure did the other party get in that medicine garden?
Among the many stories about cultivating immortals that Senior Brother Li has read before, there is never a lack of stories about a certain protagonist having an amazing adventure somewhere in the sect.

Reminiscent of the fact that the other party did not hesitate to pay four spirit stones to bribe me, but also got this task.
"Junior Brother Ye, have you been cultivating latently this year?" Senior Brother Li asked calmly.

"In addition to taking care of the five-flower tree, I have been practicing!" Ye Changsheng was suspicious, but said calmly.

Senior brother Li, what are you doing asking about his affairs?
"Oh, I see!"

Senior Brother Li nodded, suddenly smiled enthusiastically, and said, "Junior Brother Ye doesn't know something. There is a senior brother who has been following this mission for a long time!"

"I don't want to offend that senior brother, so Junior Brother Ye, I'm afraid I can't entrust you with this task!"

Ye Changsheng frowned, what does Senior Brother Li mean?
Ask for a bribe?

If it is a bribe, there is no need to do so, just say it directly.

After all, both of them have already traded once, and they are not afraid of the second time.

"Could it be that he wants to increase the price?" Doubts arose in Ye Changsheng's heart.

He glanced at Senior Brother Li, and found that the other party was looking at him meaningfully.

Ye Changsheng's heart skipped a beat, do you really want to increase the price?
Of course he doesn't lack these spirit stones, but it would be very inappropriate if he took out more spirit stones to bribe the other party.

The four spirit stones are already very high.

After all, the disciples of Huangfeng Valley's Qi refining period worked hard for a month's work, and they could only receive two spirit stones.

If the shot is too generous and doesn't fit his identity, it will inevitably make the other party move his mind.

"Senior brother Li, I did this task quite smoothly, so can't you accommodate me?"

Ye Changsheng had an extremely troubled look on his face.

He decided to test it out to see if Senior Brother Li wanted to increase the price.

Seeing Ye Changsheng like this, Senior Brother Li smiled inwardly.

"Sure enough, he couldn't give up on this task. There must be something wrong with the streaky tree!"

Senior Brother Li had a regretful expression on his face: "Junior Brother Ye, I really want to leave this task to you, but that senior brother really can't be offended."

The rejection in Senior Brother Li's words was obvious.

This made Ye Changsheng, who had been paying attention to his expression, even more suspicious.

Not asking for a bribe?

Does he really not want to give me this task?

What exactly does he mean?
Ye Changsheng wouldn't believe Senior Brother Li's nonsense, it looked like an excuse, he just didn't want to hand over this task.

It's just a task, why get stuck?

Ye Changsheng couldn't figure it out!
"In that case, please brother arrange another task for me!" He no longer insisted.

Seeing that he gave up directly, Senior Brother Li's eyes flashed with surprise.

"He doesn't want that mission anymore?"

But immediately, he realized: "Are you advancing by retreating? Heh heh, I see through you!"

"I'm afraid I gave up on this task on the surface, but in fact I will still go to the medicine garden in private, right?"

Brother Li held Zhizhu in his hands and felt that he had seen through everything.

"Junior Brother Ye, for the sake of our friendship, let me arrange a similar task for you!"

"Take care of the three Fire Cloud Trees and hand in fifty fruits every year. Junior Brother Ye, what do you think of this task?"

Ye Changsheng took a look and found that the medicine garden where the Fire Cloud Tree was located was far away from his original one.

He frowned and said, "Okay, that's the task, thank you Senior Brother Li!"

"You're welcome, Junior Brother Ye!"

Senior Brother Li had a smile on his lips, he felt that he had seen through everything.

This Junior Brother Ye gave up the previous task, but it was just playing a trick of retreating.

After Ye Changsheng accepted the task and left, Senior Brother Li immediately gave up the task of consul disciple of Baijitang, and took the task of looking after the five-flower tree by taking advantage of his position.

Then, he went straight to the medicine garden!
Ye Changsheng didn't know about it.

Who would have expected that suspicious senior brother Li to have imagined so much in that short period of time?
After changing the task, he continued to go back to practice penance.

However, this time his practice was not very smooth.

After only practicing for a month, Senior Brother Li came to his door!

　The contract will be signed soon, everyone hurry up and invest!
