Chapter 3 The Suspicious Person (please invest and recommend!)
After getting the Huanglong Pill from Han Li in exchange, Ye Changsheng immediately went back and started cultivating in secret.
In this cold world, not having enough cultivation will not bring him any sense of security.
After paying the price of four spiritual stones and bribing a consul disciple of Baiji Hall, Ye Changsheng was given the task of handing over the elixir.
"Take care of thirteen five-flowered trees and deliver two hundred fruits every year!"
Well, this is a job that is measured in years.
Unlike other tasks, you need to re-acquire it every month.
This is in line with Ye Changsheng's expectations. What he fears most now is trouble.
As long as you can practice steadily, that is better than anything else.
After receiving the mission, Ye Changsheng moved out of the stone house residential area where thousands of new disciples in the Qi refining stage gathered.
He moved into the Medicine Garden, which was much cleaner.
Without saying a word, he began to retreat.
Three months have passed, and his cultivation has advanced to the seventh level of Qi refining.
Half a year later, he broke through to the eighth level of Qi refining.
A year later, Ye Changsheng arrived at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
In Baiji Hall, the consul disciple who had accepted Ye Changsheng's bribe frowned and asked, "Junior Brother Ye, you said you still want to continue doing that mission?"
"Yes, is there any problem, Senior Brother Li?"
"I hand in two hundred fruits every year, and I hand them all in!"
"It's not a problem! It's just your cultivation level."
A look of surprise flashed in Senior Brother Li's eyes.
If I remember correctly, when Junior Brother Ye came to Baiji Hall a year ago, his cultivation level was still relatively low, right?
What level of Qi refining is it at?
I can't remember clearly, but it seems to be quite low.
Now, have you actually reached the tenth level of Qi training all at once?
So fast?
Even with dual spiritual roots, this kind of cultivation speed seems a bit incredible, right?
Ye Changsheng, I have never heard that he is a child of any big family!
As long as it's a family that can be named, Senior Brother Li, a disciple with dual spiritual roots, will know about it.
Ye Changsheng seems to be a casual cultivator!
How can a casual cultivator practice so quickly without the support of his family?
Something's wrong!
There must be something weird about him!
"He should have some method that can speed up his cultivation, and this method was obtained after entering Yellow Maple Valley!" Senior Brother Li thought in his mind.
Before receiving this mission, Ye Changsheng's cultivation level was very low, and it didn't look like he had any adventures.
After receiving this task, his cultivation level suddenly improved by leaps and bounds.
Could it be that there is something wrong with this task of taking care of the five-flowered tree?
What adventure did the other party get in that medicine garden?
Among the many fairy tales that Brother Li has read before, there is no shortage of stories about a certain protagonist having an amazing adventure somewhere within the sect.
Reminiscent of the fact that the other party had paid four spiritual stones to bribe him in order to get this task.
"Junior Brother Ye, have you been practicing latent cultivation this year?" Senior Brother Li asked calmly.
"Aside from taking care of the five-flowered tree, I have been practicing!" Ye Changsheng was surprised in his heart, but said calmly on his face.
This Senior Brother Li, why are you asking about his affairs?
"Oh, I see!"
Senior Brother Li nodded, suddenly smiled enthusiastically, and said: "Junior Brother Ye doesn't know something. A senior brother has been eyeing this task for a long time!"
"I don't want to offend that senior brother, so Junior Brother Ye, I'm afraid I can't leave this task to you anymore!"
Ye Changsheng frowned, what does Senior Brother Li mean?
Asking for a bribe?
If you want a bribe, there is no need to do so, just say it clearly.
After all, both of them have already traded once and are not afraid of the second time.
"Could it be that he wants to increase the price?" Ye Changsheng had doubts in his heart.
He glanced at Senior Brother Li and found that he was looking at him thoughtfully.
Ye Changsheng's heart skipped a beat. Do you really want to increase the price?
Of course he does not lack these spiritual stones, but it would be very inappropriate to bribe the other party with more spiritual stones.
Four spiritual stones are already very high.
After all, Huang Maple Valley Qi Refining Stage disciples can only receive two spiritual stones after working hard for a month.
If the move is too generous and inconsistent with his status, it will inevitably make the other party have a wrong idea.
"Senior Brother Li, I've done this task very smoothly, can't I be accommodating?"
Ye Changsheng looked extremely embarrassed on his face.
He decided to test it out to see if Senior Brother Li wanted to increase the price.
Seeing Ye Changsheng like this, Senior Brother Li smiled inwardly.
"Sure enough, he can't give up on this mission. There must be something wrong with the five-flowered tree!"
Senior Brother Li had a regretful expression on his face: "Junior Brother Ye, I really want to leave this task to you, but I really can't offend that senior brother."
The rejection in Senior Brother Li's words was obvious.
This made Ye Changsheng, who had been paying attention to his expression, even more suspicious.
Not asking for a bribe?
Did he really not want to give me this task?
What exactly does he mean?
Ye Changsheng would not believe Senior Brother Li's nonsense. It was an excuse at first glance. He simply didn't want to hand over this task.
It’s just a task, why is there any need to get stuck?
Ye Changsheng couldn’t figure it out!
"In that case, please ask senior brother to arrange another task for me!" He no longer insisted.
Seeing him giving up directly, Senior Brother Li's eyes flashed with surprise.
"He doesn't want that mission anymore?"
But then, he realized clearly: "Are you going to retreat in order to advance? Hum hum, I've seen through you!"
"I'm afraid you may have given up on this mission on the surface, but secretly you're still going to get into that medicine garden, right?"
Senior Brother Li has the pearl of wisdom in his hands and feels that he has seen through everything.
"Junior Brother Ye, for the sake of our friendship, I will arrange a similar task for you!"
"Take care of three Fire Cloud Trees and hand over fifty fruits every year. Junior Brother Ye, what do you think of this task?"
Ye Changsheng took a look and found that the medicine garden where the Fire Cloud Tree was located was far away from his original one.
He frowned and said: "Okay, let's just do this task. Thank you Senior Brother Li!"
"You're welcome, Junior Brother Ye!"
Senior Brother Li smiled, feeling that he had seen through everything.
Junior Brother Ye gave up on the previous mission, just playing a trick of retreating in order to advance.
After Ye Changsheng accepted the mission and left, Senior Brother Li immediately gave up his mission as a consul disciple of Baiji Hall and took advantage of his position to take over the mission of looking after the Wuhua tree.
Then, he went straight to Yaoyuanzi!
Ye Changsheng had no idea about this.
Who could have expected that the suspicious Senior Brother Li would come up with so much in that short period of time?
After changing tasks, he continued to go back to practice hard.
However, his practice was not very smooth this time.
After only practicing for a month, Senior Brother Li came to our door!
The contract was signed soon, so hurry up and invest!
