I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 25 Can you please stop lying with your eyes open?
"I'm here to collect this month's spirit stones."

Elder Jingzhen looked helpless: "If I wasn't short of spirit stones, do you think I would have taken on the daunting task of managing the menial service yard?"

Jiangchuan: "."

Jing Hui: “.”

A chore?
Where is the pain?

Could you please stop telling lies with your eyes open?

We are the ones who do all the work!

You complain that just moving your mouth is a chore. Can you please give this chore to us?

After a brief conversation, Jiangchuan and Jinghui followed Elder Jingzhen into the External Affairs Hall.

What catches the eye are the palm-sized wooden signs hanging on the gray-black walls.

"Purchase 10,000 jin of Hanming Iron Ore and receive a reward of 1,000 Spiritual Stones. Find the evil demon that slaughtered the village and receive a reward of 2,000 Spiritual Stones."

Jinghui, who came to the Foreign Affairs Hall for the first time, was dazzled by the task boards covering the wall.

Elder Jingzhen went to the second floor of the External Affairs Hall to receive the reward of spirit stones.

Jiang Chuan, who had been here dozens of times in the simulation, was familiar with the place. He found the task of collecting ancient elixir recipes, took off the task card and came to the center of the hall.

Sitting behind the wooden table, in front of the sleepy Foreign Affairs Hall Elder Jingsha.

"Elder, disciple Jing Yang has come to submit a mission."

Elder Jingsha, with long eyebrows and drooping shoulders, yawned when he heard Jiangchuan's voice, raised his hand to take the task card, and then pointed to the pen and ink beside him.

"Write it down. I'll estimate the value of the recipe and then give you a reward."

"Yes, elder."

Jiang Chuan didn't waste any time and immediately picked up his pen to write down the recipe.

In just a short while, Jiang Chuan finished writing dozens of pill recipes and handed them to Elder Jingsha.

Elder Jingsha took the recipe, took a quick look at it, and his expression suddenly changed. The sleepiness on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by solemnity.

"Jingyang, you didn't dig up the grave of any elder of the Danding Sect, did you?"

Jiangchuan: "."

I haven't even been to Danding Sect, how can I dig up the graves of their elders?
And do I look like a tomb raider?
"Elder Jingsha, these pill recipes were obtained by chance, not by digging graves." Jiang Chuan explained.

Elder Jingsha looked at Jiangchuan and spoke slowly.

"I hope it's not from a tomb robbery, as you said."

"These dozens of pill recipes are worth about 150,000 spirit stones. You can choose to exchange them for spirit stones or treasures."

"Change it into treasure."

Jiang Chuan directly chose to exchange it for treasure.

After all, Bodhi Temple is one of the top forces in the Qingyuan Realm, and there are many rare treasures in the temple.

Many treasures cannot be bought even with spirit stones.

Now that he has the opportunity to exchange, Jiang Chuan naturally will not miss it.

Elder Jingsha took out a thick book and placed it in front of Jiangchuan.

"Take your time to choose."

With anticipation, Jiang Chuan opened the book.

A deep purple treasure fan surrounded by thunder appeared in Jiangchuan's eyes.

The Wind and Thunder Fan, a low-grade Taoist artifact, was made from Kui Ox bones mixed with the Star River Divine Sand. It was placed in the Nine Heavens Gale Wind for a thousand years to absorb the power of wind and thunder, and eventually transformed into a Taoist artifact.

Price: Two million spirit stones or twenty divine crystals.

"Two million spirit stones!"

Jiang Chuan was very envious, but he simply couldn't afford so many spirit stones.

"Spiritual stones will appear sooner or later, and so will Taoist weapons!"

While thinking, Jiang Chuan continued to read.

Jiang Chuan quickly selected the first treasure he liked, Earth Milk. Earth Milk was a spiritual object nurtured by the essence of the earth, and it was extremely effective in tempering the body.

Jiang Chuan obtained the "Supreme Yang Infinite Body" from Gong Suxin, and now he is using it to practice with the help of the earth milk.

"However, this jar of earth milk costs 120,000 spirit stones."

Jiang Chuan looked painful.

In the simulation, the low-grade precious sword that Elder Jingyun gave him was only worth 50,000 spirit stones.

A mid-grade treasure costs only about 100,000 spirit stones.

After choosing the earth milk, Jiang Chuan directly exchanged the remaining 30,000 spirit stones for ten Hundred Herbs Soul Nourishing Pills.

Elder Jingsha then took out an earthen jar and a yellow gourd and handed them to Jiangchuan.

After Jiangchuan accepted the treasure, he said goodbye and prepared to call Jinghui to leave with him.

then
He found Jinghui with a troubled look on her face, standing in front of the gray-black wall, her eyes moving constantly.

After receiving the spirit stones, Elder Jingzhen came downstairs to Jinghui at some point.

"It seems that Senior Brother Jinghui's decision-making difficulty has come back again." Jiang Chuan thought to himself.

"Jinghui, if you're still struggling, I actually have a task I recommend you and Jingyang complete."

After hearing what Elder Jingzhen said, Jinghui asked, "Elder, what is the mission?"

Elder Jingzhen raised his hand and pointed to a task board at the highest point of the wall.

Jiangchuan looked in the direction of Elder Jingzhen's finger, and his eyes twitched slightly.

Build a palace in Shilianling, home to the Cat Demon Clan, to entertain distinguished guests from the Jiuyuan Dynasty. Reward: Comprehend the Dao Monument once.

"To comprehend the Dao Monument? What's on the Dao Monument?"

"Starting from the fifth realm, cultivators must comprehend the great laws of the universe. The Dao Stele is imprinted with the great Dao of our predecessors in Bodhi Temple. Comprehending the Dao Stele is equivalent to comprehending the great Dao of the predecessors, which will be of great use to your future." Elder Jingzhen explained.

Jiang Chuan sighed softly: "Elder Jingzhen, are you really sure that we can complete this task?"

The Monument of Enlightenment is in the treasure book given to him by Elder Jingsha, and it can be exchanged for 200,000 spirit stones once.

Two hundred thousand spirit stones!
This is enough to buy a lower-quality treasure.

"The difficulty of this mission lies in the Purple Cloud Ancestor of the Cat Demon Clan on Shilian Ridge."

Elder Jingzhen raised his hand and took down the task card. "Ancestor Ziyun is powerful and stubborn, and he followed an elder from a thousand years ago. Therefore, the elders in the temple are reluctant to use force. After several attempts to persuade him, he refused to give up half of Shilian Ridge."

"If the elders can't do it, we can't do it either." Jiang Chuan shrugged.

Jinghui nodded repeatedly.

"No, you can do it."

Elder Jingzhen handed the task card to Jiangchuan: "Ancestor Ziyun is on good terms with Senior Jinfeng. You should be safe and sound these few days following Senior Jinfeng."

"This shows that Senior Jinfeng has a good impression of you. As long as you can ask Senior Jinfeng to intercede for me, I am 50% sure that I can complete this task."

Jiangchuan: "."

Jing Hui: “.”

What does it mean to be safe and sound?
So you thought something was going to happen to us from the start?

Jinghui turned and looked at Jiangchuan.

They did not follow the golden wind for these five days, but instead slacked off for five days.

Of course, Jinghui didn't dare to tell this matter.

otherwise
What awaits him most likely is being dragged by Elder Jingzhen to the menial work yard and forced to chop firewood for five days and five nights.

The most important thing is that Jinghui doesn’t think Jinfeng, who has only met them once, will help them!

"Junior brother, Senior Jin Feng's whereabouts are erratic. I think it's unlikely that we can complete this mission. Let's take on other missions."

"No, we'll take this mission."

Jiangchuan shook his head and then took the task card from Elder Jingzhen.
