The group of people kept walking through the tea forest, and after walking for more than an hour, they saw a looming village. The entire village was surrounded by tea trees, and the houses in the village were also surrounded by tea trees. If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of the village,

With the wisp of smoke coming out, others really didn't know there was a village here.

As soon as the group of people arrived at the entrance of the village, several monkeys suddenly appeared from the surrounding tea trees and surrounded the group of people. They had fierce looks on their faces and bared their teeth and claws at the group of people. Li Mu was about to swing his sword at them when a man in white walked out of the town.

The middle-aged man stopped the crazed monkey, then smiled and said to Li Mugong, "Hello, strangers, these yellow-haired monkeys have never seen outsiders. Please forgive me for disturbing you."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I wonder who you are, uncle?"

"Haha, I am Wei Lingzhi, the mayor of Chaxi Town. You can just call me Lingzhi."

"Hello, Mayor Lingzhi, we are adventurers from Qinglong City. We plan to go to the Elemental Jungle and pass by your place. We hope to stay in the town for one night."

"Of course. Since the war between gods and demons, Chaxi Town has been forgotten by the world. A hundred years have passed, and you are the first human beings to walk here."

"That shouldn't be the case. The tea here is overflowing and the tranquility is pleasant. It's a perfect place to recuperate. How come no one comes?"

"Young hero, you don't know something. Our place was originally under the jurisdiction of the Phoenix City, but during the war between gods and demons, the Phoenix City was reduced to ruins. The Phoenix Soul that guarded the Phoenix City did not know where it went. Our town's world

Generations of people have made a living on tea. In such troubled times, I could only choose to escape. I used the tea tree maze passed down from my ancestors to hide the entire town. This method worked very well. During the war, I don’t know how many birds and animals came from around the town.

They didn't find us when they passed by. But after the war, this land was forgotten by the world. The teleportation array in the town has long lost its energy, and a large number of ferocious beasts have appeared around the town. My people can't get out at all."

"Mayor Lingzhi, you said that you are under the jurisdiction of Phoenix City, but do you know where Phoenix City is?"

Li Mu has always been obsessed with the matter of spiritual fire. Ou Zixiao once said that if there is still spiritual fire on this continent, the Phoenix City has the highest probability of existence.

"Of course, Phoenix City is to the east of our town. But you can't get through it with your current strength. To the east of the town is the Flame Mountain, which is one of the top ten most dangerous places in the mainland. The flames of the Flame Mountain have given birth to a new Flame.

Spirit - Fire Lord, it defeated the original overlords there, the Blazing Demon and the Black Flame Demon brothers, and took them into its subordinates. The Blazing Demon guards the north entrance of the Flame Mountain, the Black Flame Demon guards the south entrance of the Flame Mountain, and the Flame Lord guards the Flame Mountain.

Center, with your current strength, you will be dead against any of them. Not to mention that after passing through the Flame Mountain, you have to pass through the zombie mines and the jungle of death. A hundred years have passed, and no one knows what is there.

situation."

"Okay, thank you Mayor Lingzhi for clarifying my doubts. I wonder where the hotel in the town is?"

"It's right in the center of the town, but the town has been dilapidated for many years, and the hotel is a bit shabby. I hope you guys don't dislike it."

"It's okay, it's okay. We are very grateful to have a place to rest."

Under the leadership of Mayor Lingzhi, the group arrived at the hotel in the center of the town. Li Mu was dumbfounded when he saw the structure of the hotel. It was really crude.

This so-called hotel is just surrounded by tea trees as a fence, and there are several pergolas set up with tree vines inside. This is the so-called hotel.

"Mayor Lingzhi, how much does the hotel charge?" Li Mu took a look and saw that there was no NPC like the hotel proprietress, so he asked.

"No matter what is charged or not, it is your own yard. You can live wherever you like."

"Excuse me, why are you so embarrassed? Mayor Lingzhi, just give me a price. You see the conditions in your town are so miserable. We would be embarrassed to live there without money."

"Um, okay then, just give 1,000 silver coins to each of you, and consider it as sponsoring the construction of our town."

More, more, how much? 1,000 silver coins? You old guy, you are crazy about money! The best hotel in Qinglong City only has this price! I have to say that I am also a bitch. This person has said that he doesn’t want money, but he insists on it.

Forget about the polite words, it's better. Now that it's like this, give it to me, but you won't be able to part with it. Don't give it to me, and you can't wipe it off.

Li Mu struggled in his heart for a long time. Looking at Mayor Lingzhi who was staring at him eagerly, Li Mu took out 7,000 yuan from his backpack with trembling hands and angrily stuffed it into his hand. At this moment, Li Mu was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

, countless grass mud horses are galloping in my heart, Ma Dan, I will never show off again.

After accepting Li Mu's money, Mayor Lingzhi's face glowed brightly, "Young heroes, please rest for a while. I will ask the old lady to cook some food to entertain you later."

"Haha, thank you very much, Mayor."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Not long after Mayor Lingzhi left, Qingcheng said in the middle of the night, "Oh, Li Mu, you are really a rich man now. Zizhi, this 1,000 yuan a night hotel is really high-end. You can see the green garden all over when you lower your head, and you can see the green garden when you raise your head.

Looking up at the vast starry sky, sitting down to listen to the chirping of crickets, and standing up to feel the warm night breeze, it is really one of the joys of life. I have never stayed in such a high-end hotel in my life."

"Really? Then you have to enjoy it for a while. There is no place like this after passing this village. By the way, this time the hotel is at your own expense, and the cost will be deducted from the proceeds of the Thunder Eagle pet egg."

"Haha, I have never seen such a stingy person like you. They say they send Buddha to the West, and they pretend to be awesome to the end. You are only halfway through pretending and can no longer pretend. You really don't have any professional ethics and quality."

Li Mu knew that he was being stupid today, so he stopped talking to the venomous woman Qingcheng. He chose the nearest pergola and got in. He lay on the couch with his eyes closed, as if he was really enjoying the 1,000 yuan.

'Room' for one night.

An hour later, Mayor Lingzhi walked into the yard and woke up Li Mu, "Young Master Li Mu, the meal is ready. Please come to my house. The town has been closed for so long, and there is nothing to entertain you."

, I can only prepare some simple meals."

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as I can fill my stomach."

This time Li Mu didn't bother to ask how much the meal cost. If it was 1,000 yuan per person again, Li Mu would really cry.

Sure enough, it was just simple meals, four vegetables, and a pot of fish soup. But besides the seven people from Li Mu, there were also four people from the mayor's family, the mayor and his wife, and his two children, both of whom were very young, 6-8 years old.

Around the age of 15, when he was lively, he ignored the mayor's rebuke and tore off a piece of fish meat from the pot and started to devour it. Seeing this, the group became even more embarrassed to pick up their chopsticks.

Forget it, it's just a bowl of fish soup, maybe some green vegetables to change your appetite.

Seeing the two naughty children attacking directly, Li Mu comforted himself in his heart.

but……

When he picked up the chopsticks and wanted to pick up the vegetables, the youngest kid snatched the plate of vegetables away. Li Mu turned to pick up another plate, but unfortunately that plate was taken away by another kid.

, Li Mu’s chopsticks were hanging in the air and had nowhere to put them. He almost couldn’t help but want to hit them hard, but he still held back.

Seeing the indifferent expressions of Lingzhi and his wife, Li Mu was a little angry. Are you entertaining guests? Are you playing monkey tricks? You and your group are like monkeys being played.

Just when he was about to take action, he glanced at Lingzhi and found that Lingzhi was calmly drinking fish soup, but his eyes inadvertently stopped on him. This made Li Mu a little alert. Could it be that he was just testing himself?

Thinking of this, Li Mu quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, reached out and touched the head of the little guy next to him, and asked, "Kid, what's your name?"

It's a pity that the little guy is concentrating on drinking fish soup, so I have time to pay attention to him.

"Haha, this is my youngest son, Lingzhong, and that is my daughter, Lingxiao. They are being naughty, so please be patient."

Damn it, now you know they are naughty!

However, Li Mu had a smile on his face as if he saw flowers in the car, "It's okay, it's okay. It's a great blessing to have such a lovely son and daughter. Hey, this trip was very hasty and there's nothing good about me."

There are only two secret chicken drumsticks left to eat, so let’s satisfy their cravings.”

After saying that, he took out two chicken drumsticks from his backpack and handed them to the two little guys. The two urchins didn't admit it, so they took them directly and ate them hungrily. In less than two minutes, the drumsticks were eaten by the two of them.

It was all eaten. Only a bare thin bone was left.

After eating the chicken legs, Lingzhi called out to the two children, "Zhong'er, Xiao'er, you two have eaten up all the food for the guests. What do you want the guests to eat! Go to the back room and make some fairy peony tea that I have collected.

, let a few adventurers moisten their throats."

After hearing Lingzhi's words, the two children ran out in a hurry.

A few people chatted for more than ten minutes, and then two children came in carrying a tea tray. The fragrant aroma of tea could be smelled from a long distance away.

Lingxiao held the tea tray, and Lingzhong picked up the teapot and poured a cup for everyone.

Li Mu also drank tea in real life, but never tasted it. He drank it all in one gulp and felt very unhappy. It took several cups to quench his thirst in such a small cup.

This time was no exception. He picked up the tea cup, and the aroma of the tea was refreshing. Li Mu took a sip, and a refreshing feeling penetrated his limbs. At the same time, a pleasant system prompt came to his ears.

"Congratulations on using Fairy Flower Tea, all attributes are +5."

Is this the Fairy Peony Tea that General Manager Lu Qin mentioned? It is indeed extraordinary!

It seemed that all the reactions just now were tests given to him by Mayor Lingzhi. Buying a cup of fairy peony tea for 1,000 silver coins was simply the most successful business Li Mu had ever made.

If this cup of fairy peony tea is sold in the market, the price will be at least 10 gold coins. After all, this thing does not occupy the equipment slot, and no matter how you change the equipment, these attributes will exist permanently.

Others also looked shocked. This cup of tea has such miraculous effects??

Regarding the shocked expressions of Li Mu and others, Lingzhi seemed to have expected it, "Young Master Li Mu, don't be surprised. This fairy peony tea is a rare thing. It is completely normal to have such effects. Now that you have tasted it, you must still be interested in it.

Well, many people feel this way after drinking fairy tea, but if you want to taste it again, you need to ask me to do one thing."

What do you mean? Is there no limit to the number of times you can drink Fairy Peony Tea? Drinking it once will increase your attributes by 5 points? In this case, drinking it eighty times would be unnatural.

"Mayor Lingzhi, you said, as long as we can do it, we will definitely help you."

"It's a coincidence that the thing I asked you to do is also in the Elemental Jungle. The patron saint tree of our town is the fairy tea tree. The fairy tea you drink is grown from it. But for some reason, the tea tree started to bloom last year.

Yellow leaves began to grow, and gradually withered, and the number of flower teas produced was reduced by nearly 90%. I heard from our ancestors that the seeds of the fairy tea were soaked in the spring of life of the elves.

The treasure of the clan can not only cure all diseases, but also extend the life of living beings, so I would like to ask you to go to the elemental jungle to help me get a pool of spring water from the spring of life back. I know this is a bit difficult, but I really

I have no choice but to watch our spiritual tree wither like this. As long as you can get spring water to save the fairy tree, I will definitely give each of you a piece of fairy tea, and you will also get the tea stream.

The town’s respect increases the town’s contribution.”

"Contribution? What's the use of this?"

"Don't you know? The garrison system will be opened after level 40. There are three ways to establish a garrison. The first is to use city building tokens, the second is to occupy, and the third is to surrender. In the surrender mode, the contribution

is the most important condition to achieve. For example, as long as your contribution to a village or town is greater than 1, you can apply for its submission. After the village or town receives your request, it will be judged based on its contribution.

And launch a village referendum. As long as more than 80% of the villagers agree, the village will belong to your gang. And even if it fails, the village will remind you which condition you have not met. You can submit a request for affiliation again after meeting it."

Now Li Mu understood. It seemed that this contribution was really a good thing. Without any hesitation, he directly chose to accept it.

"You accepted the mission from Mayor Lingzhi - to save the tea tree. The mission level is A. There seems to be something wrong with the fairy tea in Chaxi Town. Mayor Lingzhi asks you to go to the Elemental Jungle to obtain the Spring of Life.
