Chapter 128 Meeting Du Yucheng Again
After selling most of the spiritual objects on him, he still had a gap of 2,000 spiritual stones left, and he could only rely on himself to make talismans.
Fortunately, the market in Yangshanfang was large enough, and there was no shortage of talisman making materials or shops that bought spiritual talismans in the market. Song Qingming relied on the ability of the incomplete map to continuously make talismans, and earned more than 400 spiritual stones in half a year.
If everything goes well, he should be able to save more than 1,000 spiritual stones in a year and a half. By then, he almost sold the last second-level magic weapon on him, and it should be almost enough.
Just as Song Qingming was moving forward step by step according to the plan, his third brother Song Qingze suddenly came to Yangshanfang to find him and wanted to invite him to help carry out a sect mission.
Every disciple in Xiaoyao Sect relied on the sect's good deeds to exchange for various spiritual objects in the sect's treasury, including the foundation-building pill.
Two years ago, when the monsters were rioting, Xiaoyao Sect killed three monster kings in total. After spending two years gathering other auxiliary spiritual medicines, they refined more than 40 foundation-building pills at once. In addition to giving some of them to the descendants of the foundation-building cultivators who died in the battle, many foundation-building pills flowed into the sect's warehouse.
In order to speed up the training of new foundation-building cultivators to replenish the sect's blood, the elders of the Good Merit Hall of Xiaoyao Sect deliberately lowered the exchange price of foundation-building pills. For a time, it quickly caused a wave in Xiaoyao Sect. Many Qi Refining Level 9 disciples in the sect began to run around to earn good merits, just to gather the good merits needed to exchange for foundation-building as soon as possible.
There are many sect tasks in the General Affairs Hall of Xiaoyao Sect, but the task that can earn a lot of merit the fastest is to hunt various monsters in the sect territory. Although the merit of hunting monsters above level 2 is fast, it is impossible for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage to complete it alone, so everyone can only have a chance to work together. A level 2 monster has two to three thousand merits, even if it is shared by several people, it is much more than other tasks.
Song Qingze came to Song Qingming this time because he and several fellow disciples took a task from the Good Merit Hall not long ago to hunt a level 2 low-grade monster next to Guyang County.
After taking the task, Song Qingze has found six people willing to work together, but facing a level 2 monster, several people in the team still feel that there are too few people, so Song Qingze had no choice but to come to Yangshanfang to ask Song Qingming for help.
Although the sect mission prohibits everyone from inviting outsiders to help, the places where such missions are received are all in the wild mountains thousands of miles away. If you don’t tell us whether there are outsiders to help, no one will know, and it is impossible for the sect’s top leaders to come to investigate such things.
"Qingming, as long as you are willing to help this time, we will give you 50 spirit stones each after completing the mission, which adds up to 300 spirit stones. This should be worth your effort!"
After meeting Song Qingming, Song Qingze told him the matter straight to the point. This time, Song Qingze came to Yangshan Square to invite Song Qingming, and Song Qingze still showed enough sincerity.
To be honest, Song Qingming didn’t want to go out and take risks at this time, but he came to Xiaoyao Sect this time to get the opportunity to exchange for the foundation-building pill, and his third brother Song Qingze also helped him a lot. It was really hard to refuse. In addition, he happened to be short of spirit stones, and there was an opportunity to earn spirit stones quickly. After thinking about it, he agreed to Song Qingze.
After packing up, Song Qingming and Song Qingze quickly left Yangshanfang. After leaving the market, they walked south for a long time and met other monks who participated in the mission in a roadside pavilion.
These people were all disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, and their cultivation was the same as the ninth level of Qi Refining. There was a man and a woman standing together, as if they were a Taoist couple. The remaining three were all men, of different heights, and about the same age as Song Qingze.
One of them looked familiar to Song Qingming. After taking a closer look, he remembered that this person was Du Yucheng, a monk from the Du family who participated in the Liu family mission with him more than ten years ago.
When Song Qingming came back from the Floating Cloud Mountains, he also heard about Du Yucheng, but the news from the Du family had always been that Du Yucheng disappeared after the mission, and Song Qingming didn't expect him to appear here.
Du Yucheng here didn't seem to recognize Song Qingming. He just glanced at him casually and turned his eyes away. He looked the same as he did more than ten years ago, and he was still so reluctant to talk.
After Song Qingze greeted several people, he briefly introduced Song Qingming to everyone, and then introduced other people to Song Qingming.
The Taoist couple, the man's name is Liu Qiting, and the woman's name is Meng Ran. They are both cultivators from Guyang County. They joined Xiaoyao Sect at a very young age.
The other two, a tall man named Gu Feng, was born in Huaishan County in the south of Wei State. The shorter Taoist priest also came from Guyang County. He was Song Qingze's best friend in Xiaoyao Sect, Wei Wuyang, who was also a top-grade formation master.
The remaining one was the silent Du Yucheng. Song Qingze recognized him when he formed a team, but they did not have much communication in Qinghe County. Song Qingze only knew that Du Yucheng suddenly joined Xiaoyao Sect after his disappearance when they formed a team not long ago.
Although both of them came from Qinghe County, they did not have much communication after joining Xiaoyao Sect. It was not until this team formation that the two got to know each other again.
After hearing Song Qingze's introduction, Du Yucheng pretended to react and greeted Song Qingming with a smile. Song Qingming also responded to him calmly.
After seeing Du Yucheng, Song Qingming suddenly felt a little uneasy.
When fighting the silver-armored crab monster in the Floating Cloud Mountains, Song Qingming knew that Du Yucheng, like him, disappeared after being swept into the pool. He was really unsure whether Du Yucheng would know that he had picked up Liu Tianlong's storage bag in the pool.
A group of six Xiaoyao Sect monks, plus Song Qingming, made up exactly seven people. After walking south for six days, they finally came to a big river. Following the river, they walked upstream for dozens of miles, and a high mountain appeared in front of everyone.
The task they took on this time was to deal with a second-level low-grade flowing flower leopard that had been entrenched here for many years.
This flowing flower leopard has occupied a second-level spiritual vein in the south of Liuhe, occupying this area that originally belonged to the human race under its feet.
The Flowing Flower Leopard is a monster that likes to be alone, unlike the second-level monsters that like to drive a group of low-level monsters. This is why they dare to fight this second-level monster.
Their team is all the top cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm. The lowest among the seven is the ninth level of Qi Refining. Some of them have broken through the ninth level of Qi Refining for many years. Liu Qiting even has a second-level magic weapon. With the second-level formation borrowed from Wei Wuyang, they are still very confident that they can hunt down this monster.
