I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 283 Deprivation
The owner of the rice shop was a gentle middle-aged man with fair skin and a refined appearance.

Looks very much like a scholar.

But Zhang Yuan could tell at a glance that the other party possessed the strength of the third level of transformation.

And it has reached the peak level.

Just one final push away and you’ll be able to break through the bottleneck and open up the Qi Sea!
The rice shop owner knew Zhang Yuan's background, so when they met, he politely bowed and asked, "Master Protector, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I want to buy rice."

Zhang Yuan said straight to the point: "Provide porridge to the hungry people in and around the city!"

The rice shop owner was stunned for a moment: "Master Protector, you are not kidding, right?"

Nowadays, there is a food shortage inside and outside Xiaxu, and the price of rice is rising steadily, resulting in a large number of hungry people and beggars everywhere.

It’s not that there are no wealthy families who come forward to distribute porridge and do charity.

But there is really no one like Zhang Yuan who pays for the relief out of his own pocket.

After all, food prices are so high!
Zhang Yuan replied in a deep voice: "Zhao doesn't like jokes."

"Excuse me, my lord!"

The rice shop owner quickly apologized and asked, "How much grain do you plan to buy?"

Zhang Yuan did not answer directly, but asked: "How much do you have?"

He currently holds tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hand.

There is no place to spend it!
So since we have decided to provide relief through porridge, we will definitely not make a small scene.

The rice shop owner smiled and said, "We'll give you as much as you want!"

The owner of the rice shop is not bragging. As long as he has enough money, he can borrow from other businesses if his own inventory is not enough, or even buy grain from Damengze.

No problem at all!

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since you are giving out porridge to help the poor and doing good deeds, then I can give you a 95% discount!"

The profit of a rice shop is actually not very high.

The owner of the rice shop mainly wanted to establish a good relationship with Zhang Yuan.

"good."

Zhang Yuan nodded, took out a five thousand tael silver note from his pocket and placed it on the table: "This is the deposit, I want to buy thirty thousand taels of silver worth of grain."

"Also, please help with the porridge distribution. I will pay for all the related expenses."

"By the way, this matter must be done in the name of Yuanshi Tianwang!"

The owner of the rice shop was happy at first, but then he was stunned.

The business of thirty thousand taels of silver is really a big business. If handled properly, the rice shop can make a lot of money.

It is not a problem at all to open a porridge stall from a rice shop.

Now it doesn’t cost money to hire people, you can recruit a large number of them by just giving them a meal.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Yuan actually wanted to do good deeds in the name of Yuanshi Tianwang.

What's that distant picture?

Zhang Yuan saw that the other party was stunned and asked, "Is there a problem?"

The rice shop owner came to his senses and quickly replied, "No, absolutely no problem."

The Heavenly King Hall will not have any objection to distributing porridge as relief in the name of Yuanshi Tianwang.

Even happy to see it happen.

Because this is to gather faith and support for the King!
He couldn't help but say, "Sir, there is actually a soup kitchen in the Heavenly King Hall."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Just do as I say."

The idea of ​​providing porridge as relief came from seeing starving people everywhere on the road just now.

And in the name of Yuanshi Tianwang, Zhang Yuan was repaying the favor of this god.

It was because he had been blessed in the Heavenly King Palace that Xuan Cheng looked at him differently and joined the Outer Palace as a guardian.

This led to a series of subsequent interactions.

Zhang Yuan was grateful.

So this time I will just fulfill my wish!

Seeing Zhang Yuan so persistent, the rice shop owner naturally had no objection.

After the two of them agreed on a specific implementation plan, Zhang Yuan left the rice shop and headed for the Heavenly King Hall.

Over the past few months, he has been practicing in seclusion at home.

I haven't been to the Heavenly King Hall this year. As a result, Zhang Yuan was stopped by the Taoist Xuanyong, the manager of the outer hall, as soon as he arrived at the outer hall.

"Protector Zhao, you've arrived just in time."

Taoist Xuanyong took out a letter and gave it to him: "I was just about to send you a letter. This is the task assigned to you by the inner palace."

A mission assigned by the Inner Temple?
Zhang Yuan was very surprised. He took the letter and unfolded it to read it.

The content of this letter is very simple.

He was ordered as the guardian of the outer palace to hunt down a Moon-gazing Bear King within half a month.

Get the bear's gall and bring it back for report!

Moon Bear King?

Zhang Yuan had never heard of this name before, but he knew at first glance that it was no ordinary ferocious beast.

So where does he go hunting?

Taiwu Mountain?

There was only half a month left.

It’s simply baffling!
Moreover, Zhang Yuan could feel the malice contained in this so-called inner palace assigned mission.

Xuan Xin!

He suspected that this was a trap set by the other party.

Nine times out of ten it’s a big trap!
Zhang Yuan thought for a moment, then decisively returned the letter to Xuan Yong: "Sorry, I'm injured and have to stay at home to recuperate recently, so I can't complete this task."

"what?"

Xuan Yong obviously didn't know the truth, and was stunned for a moment: "What should we do then?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Please return it to the inner hall. Besides, I am only the guardian of the outer hall, not the guardian of the inner hall."

Xuan Cheng had told him at the beginning that the outer palace protectors were guest officials and did not have many restrictions.

Then he definitely has the power to refuse!

Xuan Yong seemed to have thought of something and his expression suddenly changed.

He looked at Zhang Yuan deeply, and then said, "Protector Zhao, please wait for a moment. I will go to the inner hall to report now."

After saying that, Xuan Yong left in a hurry.

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he took out his guardian badge from his arms and exchanged all the Taoist skills inside.

He had earned a lot of Taoist skills before, and after exchanging them for "Nine Swords of Wind and Cloud", he still had some left.

Now all of them have been exchanged for talismans.

Not a single Taoist skill was left!
The talismans of the Heavenly King Palace are hard currency in Xiaxu, and it is very easy and convenient to use them.

You can also keep it for your own use.

Zhang Yuan had just exchanged his Taoist skills when a Taoist with a face full of flesh rushed to the outer hall accompanied by Xuan Yong.

When the Taoist saw Zhang Yuan, he immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Zhao Yun, Guardian, why did you refuse the mission assigned by the inner hall?"

Xuan Yong on the side introduced: "This is the inner hall steward Xuan Ji."

Zhang Yuan smiled coldly: "When will the outer hall guardians have to complete the tasks assigned by the inner hall?"

Xuanji's eyes twitched, and he said in a vicious voice: "This is the decree of the Inner Palace. As the guardian of the Outer Palace, you must execute it. There is no room for bargaining, otherwise..."

His eyes were grim: "This is considered disobedience, and he must be expelled from the palace!"

It turned out to be such a calculation!

Zhang Yuan knew it clearly.

Xuan Xin had previously failed in his plan to plot against him through the Wuwei Gate, so he had endured it until now and came up with a new trick.

The first step is to kick him out of the Heavenly King Hall and deprive him of his status as a protector.

Then proceed to the next step.

Now Xuan Cheng has not yet come out of seclusion, and Han Zixun has gone to Qianjing. Zhang Yuan is isolated and helpless in the Heavenly King Palace, and can't find anyone who can speak for him.

Zhang Yuan shook his head and threw the guardian nameplate in his hand to Xuan Yong: "No need to fire me, I will leave on my own."

He did not attach much importance to the identity of the outer hall guardian, his main purpose was to exchange for martial arts.

Now Zhang Yuan has mastered enough skills to enter the Qi realm.

It doesn’t matter naturally!

He turned and left without any reluctance.
