Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 643 Xu Xia
Lingyun Sect is where the sect affairs hall is located.

"Senior Brother Xu, you are here to take on a sect mission again. I remember that you just completed a mission from Elder Jin, didn't you? Why didn't you take some more rest?"

At the entrance of the hall, a thin figure wearing a white robe walked into the sect affairs hall, and the disciples immediately recognized him.

This person is Xu Xia, who has attracted Li Qing's secret attention. He has a fairly handsome face, a tall and thin figure, and an indifferent temperament.

After Xu Xia heard this question, he hugged his fists towards the disciple who was on duty in the affairs hall in front of him: "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Lin is on duty in the affairs hall today. I am a stupid person, so I can only work hard to take on more sect tasks." Accumulate your contributions in exchange for the second Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Now my cultivation has stagnated at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. Without the Foundation Establishment Pill, I would never dare to rush into the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Junior Brother Lin smiled kindly and expressed his understanding. At the same time, he felt a lot of admiration for Senior Brother Xu in his heart.

He had accumulated so much contribution to get a foundation-building pill, but in the end it failed to build a foundation. If it had been him, he might have been depressed for a long time.

But this senior brother Xu quickly cheered up and continued to become a task maniac, constantly entering and leaving the sect affairs hall, taking on various tasks to accumulate sect contribution points in exchange for the second Foundation Establishment Pill.

This is the biggest difference between sect disciples and outsiders!
In the outside world, a Foundation Building Pill is hard to find in the world, just like a precious elixir.

But within the sect, it can be redeemed with sect contribution points.

Of course, the sect's foundation-building pills are not infinite, and it is impossible for disciples to exchange them without restraint.

The contribution points each disciple spends in exchange for the first Foundation Establishment Pill is not that much, but if he continues to redeem it in the future, the contribution points he needs to accumulate will double and become more and more.

So generally speaking, every Qi Refining Stage disciple can only exchange for three Foundation Establishment Pills at most in his lifetime, because the contribution points required for the fourth pill will be so huge that even the elders in the Foundation Establishment Stage would be shocked when seeing it.

"Haha, Junior Brother Lin, do you have any new tasks recently?" Xu Xia asked with a gentle smile.

The junior brother named Lin nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I recently heard that there seem to be traces of remnants of the Shangqing Sect in the Xiling area. They should be a few monks in the late stage of Qi Refining. Therefore, the sect ordered a purge. Task!"

"Senior Brother Xu, do you want to think about it? This is the number of contribution points for this cleanup mission!"

After saying that, Junior Brother Lin made a gesture.

Seeing this gesture, Xu Xia's eyes lit up, revealing a heart-pounding look.

With a full sect contribution of 180 points, it is rare to find a mission with such a generous reward.

For some ordinary purge missions involving monks in the late stage of Qi Refining, they can only contribute a hundred or so points at most, and rarely more than a hundred and fifty points.

This time, perhaps because it involves the remnants of the Shangqing Sect, the rewarded contribution points are so generous.

Xu Xia pondered for a while, and then made his decision.

"I have a few close friends within the sect. To ensure safety, I can recruit one to perform the task together."

Thinking like this, Xu Xia decided to take over this task.

"Well, I'll take over this task!" Xu Xia made a decision after pondering for a while.

Although the purge missions generally assigned to inner disciples like them are not very dangerous, for the sake of safety, it is always better to bring in a fellow disciple to join the team.

After all, no one knows whether there will be some other accidents in this mission, so it is always right to seek safety.

Junior Brother Lin smiled and said, "Okay, Senior Brother Xu, please give me your identity badge, and I will record this mission in your name."

"In addition, a foundation-building elder has issued a task to collect materials. The location is also in the Xiling area. Do you want to take it together?"

From this point, it can be seen that Xu Xia's inner disciple has quite good interpersonal relationships. Junior Brother Lin even reminded him of this matter.

Xu Xia naturally had no reason to refuse.

Since you can have the opportunity to carry out two missions in one trip, you must take them on at the same time.

Xu Xia said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Junior Brother Lin!"

After saying that, Xu Xia handed his identity badge to Junior Brother Lin and asked him to register these two tasks in his name.

At this moment, a hidden aura fell into Xu Xia's identity card, and no one noticed it.

"Okay, I wish Senior Brother Xu a smooth journey in advance!" Junior Brother Lin returned the badge to Xu Xia.

After receiving the badge, Xu Xia did not forget to thank Junior Brother Lin again before leaving, and then left the Sect Affairs Hall without stopping and began to prepare for this mission.

After watching Xu Xia leave, Junior Brother Lin, who was on duty at the affairs hall, breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but pinch the sweat off his face.

When he turned around, he found a tall figure beside him.

Lin Qi knelt down before he could even see the tall and straight figure's face clearly.

"Ancestor Wuji, my disciple has awarded the task to Senior Brother Xu!"

This person was Li Qing. He nodded, and then said: "Well, good job, no secrets were exposed."

"Remember to keep this matter a secret, this is your reward!"

With that said, Li Qing left a medium-grade spiritual stone on the table and left the sect's affairs hall.

Before Lin Qi could say any words of gratitude, Li Qing's figure had already disappeared.

He put away this middle-grade spiritual stone with pure spiritual energy, and found that he had broken out in a cold sweat behind his back.

"What happened to Senior Brother Xu that made Patriarch Wuji personally issue him a mission?"

"Hey, could it be that he is the illegitimate son of Patriarch Wuji? That's not right. Senior Brother Xu's surname is Xu. I remember that Patriarch Wuji's surname seems to be Li."

There was a storm in Lin Qi's head, but no matter how hard he scratched his head, he couldn't figure out what the intention of the Wuji ancestor was.

But he understands that this matter must be kept secret! This was something that Patriarch Wuji personally told him, and he dared not violate anything he said.

In order to go out to the sect to perform the mission this time, Xu Xia prepared in the sect for two full days before setting off.

During this period, he purchased several first-grade top-grade talismans, and also brought a trustworthy fellow disciple to set out with him, which could be said to be a complete preparation.

However, he didn't know that this mission was specially set for him by Li Qing. The tests he would encounter along the way would definitely not be that simple!
Xiling is the name of a mountain range to the west of Qingling Domain. The distance from Lingyun Sect is not short, and it is a long journey along the way.

This is a mountain range with thin spiritual energy and can be considered inaccessible.

However, this originally ordinary mountain range is actually home to some strange old pines and trees.

These ancient trees are not spiritual trees, but ordinary ancient trees that are extremely old. But perhaps because of their age, the pine cones produced by these ancient pine trees have become the favorites of some rat monsters.

Many monks who keep rodent beasts will collect some of these pine cones to feed their monsters.

It is precisely for this reason that Xiling has attracted the attention of many monks.

Some impoverished monks with no skills would choose to come to Xiling to find ways to pick some fresh pine cones from ancient trees to sell to the monks who raised rats and monsters.

Although you can't exchange for a few spiritual stones, the advantage is that you don't have to pay any cost to pick them. It's just that the journey is longer and it takes more time and cost.

In the world of immortality, there are still many people raising low-level monsters like treasure-hunting rats.

The two tasks Xu Xia took on this time were related to these ancient pines.

One of the collection tasks was that an elder from the Lingyun Sect wanted to collect some fresh pine cones from ancient trees to feed his gold-seeking rats.

As for the purge task, some surviving Qi-refining period disciples of the Shangqing Sect took over Xiling and robbed many casual cultivators who came to pick pine cones for profit.

Generally speaking, casual cultivators who rely on the pine cones of ancient trees to make a living are basically at the bottom of the immortal cultivating world, and their combat capabilities are not outstanding.

But this kind of thing happened a lot, and many casual cultivators disappeared in a short period of time, and the news was exposed.

Both tasks were real, not that Li Qing deliberately forged them. He just felt that this task was more suitable for investigating this inner disciple.

Xiling is a long distance from Lingyun Sect, and monks in the Qi Refining Stage cannot support long-distance flying, so they will spend more time on the ground traveling.

Along the way, it would be suitable for Li Qing to set up an inspection for him.

Dongwu Town is a small town where mortals gather. It is an important node on the path connecting the two cities, so there are many travelers and merchants coming and going.

"Senior Brother Xu, let's take a rest in this town." The Lingyun Sect disciple who was traveling with Xu Xia suggested.

Xu Xia thought for a while and then agreed to the proposal.

The monks in the Qi refining stage are still unable to achieve complete fasting, and they rely on the fasting pill to support them along the way.

But if you haven't eaten a steaming meal for a long time, you will naturally have a lot of cravings.

Xu Xia nodded and said, "Well, the journey has already passed half, and the journey has been tiring. It's time to find an inn to rest for a day."

"But remember, we are leaving the sect to perform a mission. We must not cause trouble, and we must not show off in the mortal towns!"

The accompanying junior brother smiled nonchalantly and said: "I know, I know, the sect's rules, how dare I violate them."

With that said, the two entered this busy mortal town and randomly found an inn to stay.

And somewhere where they couldn't detect it, a tall figure emerged.

"It's quite honest, and you know how to abide by the sect's rules when traveling. But you can't become the leader just by relying on these!"

Li Qing thought for a while, then disappeared again.

The next day, in a certain inn in Soochow Town, Xu and Xia set off again after resting for a full day.

At this time, a sad voice came from a certain gambling house.

"Master, stop gambling, this is the money used to treat the child's illness and buy medicine!"

In an instant, the woman responded with an angry roar from a middle-aged man:
"Get out of here, don't stop me from placing my bet, I'll bet big this time!"

However, the woman continued to cry in the gambling house: "This is the last bit of money in the family. The poor child has not taken a dose of good medicine for several days. After enduring the dregs of medicine, my child How can the wind and cold be better?”

"Hmph, if you don't have money, go ask my father-in-law for it. That old man can't just watch his grandson die of illness, right?"

"I want some more money by the way. I don't have much money, how can I get it back?"

While he was talking, the gambling table had opened, and as expected, the man did not win.

He was so angry that he felt that his wife had disturbed his luck. He was so angry that he kicked the woman out.

The people in the gambling house couldn't stand it anymore, so in the end they just sent people to work together to carry the grieving and crying woman out of the gambling house.

On the street, this scene happened to fall in the eyes of Xu and Xia.

They stopped and looked at the woman slumped on the street crying, feeling a little compassion in their hearts.

"Alas." Xu Xia sighed softly, silently walked to the woman's side, took out a few broken pieces of silver and stuffed them into the woman's hand.

"Um? Thank you, my benefactor. Thank you very much, my benefactor!" The woman squeezed the broken silver tightly and laughed before wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

However, this scene somehow caught the eye of the man in the gambling house. He obviously lost his eyes and ran out with a big stride, trying to snatch a few pieces of silver from the woman's hand.

"Bring it here!" the middle-aged man shouted in a stern tone.

The woman clutched the palm of her hand tightly and refused to let go. She just said with a trembling voice: "Master, our child is really going to die of illness, so please stop!"

Snapped!
What she received in response was a crisp slap, which was heard by pedestrians in the entire street.

In an instant, a blood-red palm print appeared on the woman's yellow cheek, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

The middle-aged man bared his teeth and threatened: "Dare you disobey me? Bring it to me!"

"My luck has come. When the money is won, what medicine can't I afford?"

"Hurry up and get the money!"

However, the woman refused to let go. She lowered her head and tightly held the few pieces of silver in her hand.

When the middle-aged man saw this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. He started punching and kicking, using all his strength in every blow.

Finally, the woman couldn't bear it anymore. She finally let go of her hand and handed over the money tremblingly.

"Damn it, what did you do earlier? You have to be beaten severely before you can be honest!"

The middle-aged man muttered and walked into the gambling house with only a few coins, paying no attention to the woman with a bruised nose and face.

Xu Xia and Xu Xia, who had watched all this, involuntarily clenched their fists, obviously unable to bear the anger in their hearts.
