Chapter 5 It's Hard to Live

"This task is not something that a first-level Immortal can do," Chen Taizhong heard what the other party said and became angry. "The Flame Turtle hasn't woken up yet. There are too many powerful things encountered along the way. Why don't you explain it clearly?

"

"If I don't explain clearly, you also brought a bodyguard with you," the staff member waved his hand impatiently, "If you have nothing to do, stand aside and don't affect my work."

Dude, where did I bring my bodyguard? Chen Taizhong glanced at him and knew that there was something in it, but he was not in a hurry to find out. Instead, he issued a task - the newly ascended people asked for explanations about the knowledge of the fairy world, and they received two souls every day.

The reward for the task was two spirits, and two more spirits were used to publish the task. Twenty-seven spirit stones, plus the two collected deposits, originally was twenty-nine, but in the blink of an eye it became twenty-five.

However, this is an official mission compound. It is worth spending a little money to ensure that you get absolutely correct information.

Not long after, someone signed up. She was a middle-aged woman with darting eyes. At first glance, she seemed to be a smart person.

"I want to know all kinds of news about the immortal world as comprehensively as possible," Chen Taizhong spoke loudly. Although he had just been robbed of three Fierce Sun Fruits, he still retained some of the feeling of ascending from the lower world.

.

So he said very bluntly, "Speak as much as you can and tell information that the lower world does not know. If you speak well, you will be rewarded."

The woman rolled her eyes and hesitated before asking, "Master, this is... is this a family training mission?"

Some cultivating families, in order to cultivate talents, do not hesitate to let their ascended clan members adapt to the environment first, but the family does not stand out.

The woman guessed this because Chen knew nothing about the immortal world, but he was still willing to take out the spirit stone and issue a mission - he was either a wealthy casual cultivator from the lower world, or a member of his family.

However, casual cultivators are famous for their poverty, and it is difficult for them to become rich. If they are the kind of casual cultivators who have had an unexpected encounter and received a shocking inheritance, they cannot know anything about the immortal world.

"I'm spending money because I want to ask you, not for you to ask me," Chen Taizhong said impatiently, "Two spirits are not enough... Can you tell me first, what level is the Sun Fruit mission?"

"That mission... has no levels," the woman shook her head. "It should be considered a combination. It can only be completed after one level is added to level five, or there is a special magic weapon that can mask the aura."

It turns out that the fire-breathing rabbit that Chen Taizhong found in the suburbs is a first-level weak wild beast, the bat is a first-level strong wild beast, the earthworm is a second-level wild beast, and the wild boar in the woods is a third-level wild beast.

The centipedes in the valley are also level three wild beasts, but there are too many centipedes, and there are also level four centipede kings.

As for the fourth-level desolate beasts, ordinary fourth-level immortals may not be able to fight them. Coupled with the many third-level centipedes, to put it bluntly, one or two fifth-level immortals can escape such a siege.

Even if it's good.

It is precisely because of this that the mission of the Sun Fruit is very deceptive. It can only be completed by high-level immortals leading low-level immortals. High-level immortals can lead people to pass the rabbits, bats, earthworms, wild boars and centipedes in front of them.

, and then let the low-level immortals steal it.

But how can a high-level immortal care about such a small amount of money?

No wonder that guy thought I was looking for a bodyguard. Chen Taizhong was also very speechless when he heard this - if he hadn't been able to gather breath, I'm afraid the deposit for the mission would have been deducted.

Seeing that he was speechless, the woman didn't know what to say, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Young Master, do you know who issued this mission?"

"I don't know," Chen Taizhong shook his head, "This mission is really exciting."

"It was posted by the young daughter of the love-struck Nantes," the woman looked around and spoke in a lowered voice, "Miss Nancy...she has a white pet rat with a fire attribute, and loves to eat sun fruit.

, she eats at least three a day, so she buys them in large quantities for a long time.”

"Uh..." Chen Taizhong clicked his mouth, trying to say something, but finally shut up, sharing the hard work of his buddy for more than two days, just helping people collect rat food?

This is really a wealthy family that stinks of wine and meat, and the roads are freezing to death.

If Mr. Chen wants to retain his legal resident status in Qingshi City, he must pay five spirit stones every month.

As for Miss Nancy's pet rat, if she eats ninety Sun Fruits every month, it is worth twenty-seven spiritual stones - plus the sixty spiritual stones for issuing tasks every month, the total is eighty-seven spiritual stones.

How embarrassing is this?

Chen Taizhong didn't think much about it. He listened to the middle-aged woman's persuasion and bought an introduction to animals and plants and a map of Jizhou. Then under her guidance, he rented a house for daily rent.

Renting a house today is not expensive, with two spirits per day. The inn on the street requires at least three spirits per day. Only those with five spirits can have a stronger fairy spirit - of course, there are also those with one spirit per day, that is Tongpu.

After Chen Taizhong bought the book and map, he was left with ten spirits. When asked about the food here, the woman told him clearly that the food in the lower world had too little spiritual energy. If you eat it in the fairy world, you may feel full, but

...I really don’t feel hungry.

Then he remembered the fire-breathing rabbit and the dead bat he had killed. He didn't put the Sumeru Ring in it, which was disgusting.

But he put the rabbit in it, thinking it might be edible.

After asking casually, he learned that rabbits are not poisonous and can be eaten, but those who practice cold-attribute skills should avoid eating them.

Then he spent another three spirits to buy some meat and threw it into the Sumeru ring. He also spent one spirit to treat the woman to a meal and two spirits to stay. The next day he gave the woman a reward of one spirit, and all he had left was

It’s time to get three spirit stones.

Living in the fairy world is not easy.

His spider silk has not been redeemed yet, but he is not in a hurry to redeem it. A month's worth of work is enough for Sanling to redeem it - if he redeems it now, he will be penniless again.

However, Chen Taizhong felt that it was all worth it, because he meditated for a night and vaguely felt that he had a tendency to break through to the second level of immortality. You should know that he had only practiced seriously in the immortal world for half a day.

High investment often means high returns.

After checking out of the room the next day, he used a disposable lighter in exchange for the right to drink tea at the tea stall for half a day - there are many people here who know the magic of fire magic, but without the fluctuation of magic power, they can make fire, which is more or less

A strange little gadget.

In this half day, he finished reading the book in his hand and memorized it firmly, and then went to the mission compound.

After choosing again and again, he chose a life-related task—hunting for the antlers of Thunder Deer.

The Thunder Deer is a second-level wild beast. It is extremely fast and can emit lightning instantly. Generally speaking, even the fifth-level immortals cannot do anything to catch them - after the lightning, the person who is struck will freeze for a while. If it has this time, it will run away early.

Far too far.

The antler of the Thunder Deer contains pure lightning power, which is most suitable for low-level thunder cultivators to practice with.

However, this deer is also very strange. It seems that it understands the allusion of "elephant burns its body with its tusks and clams dismember its body with pearls". When it is too late to escape, it will release lightning between the two antlers, destroying its own foundation and allowing hunting.

Those who came back disappointed.

Chen Taizhong is a first-level wandering immortal and poses no threat to the Thunder Deer. However, after understanding the world, he found that... he seemed to be able to kill monsters beyond his level.

He can still knock out level 2 earthworms, but he can still stun level 3 wild boars... That's because he doesn't want to care about it, because he has no income. If he really has to care about it, how big a deal is killing a wild boar?

As for the stiffness caused by thunder and lightning, it is easy to deal with it. Put an iron pot on your head, tie an iron chain to the ears of the iron pot, let it hang down to the ground, and then drop a big iron block, that's all.

He accepted the task with confidence, pledged the three remaining spirit stones, and found out information about the Thunder Deer's habitat. Then he left the city without any delay.

When he arrived at the place where the Thunder Deer was, it was almost midnight. Because he didn't want to expose the Sumeru Ring, he carried the fire-breathing rabbit in his hand, lit a fire, and broke the rabbit into strings of skewers.

, roasted on the fire.

What was being roasted was wild beasts, but the ingredients were brought from the earth. The reputation of the great foodie empire was not for nothing. Just when the rabbit was being roasted, a figure flashed next to him, and a middle-aged man sat down.

“It smells so good!”

"This is mine!" Chen Taizhong said calmly. He knew that the first-level Immortal was the bottom figure in the immortal world, but although he was at the bottom in terms of strength, he couldn't lose in terms of momentum.

"Two spirits, buy half," the middle-aged man is not a forceful buyer or seller.

"Three Spirits," Chen Taizhong counter-offered, a fire-breathing rabbit, which is about one spirit. He learned about it yesterday, but it was cooked and added with seasonings from the earth. Buying half of it for three spirit stones is not

Consider a lion opening his mouth wide.

"Here," the middle-aged man threw three spiritual stones to him, "are you here to hunt deer antler?"

"Well," Chen Taizhong hummed, put the three spiritual stones into his arms, and casually stroked them on the fire, "That half is yours, and this half is mine."

The middle-aged man patted the storage bag, took out a gourd and a cup, and poured out a glass of wine. The aroma of the wine overflowed, and it was worthy of being produced in the fairy world.

He glanced sideways at the young man next to him, "Want a drink?"

Chen Taizhong shook his head. With his level of immortality, he didn't want to eat and drink other people's food casually in this wilderness.

Moreover, he had sold the half rabbit for money, so how could he have the nerve to drink this fine wine for free?

But the few pitiful spiritual stones in his pocket might not be able to afford such fine wine.

The middle-aged man glanced at him and said nothing. He took a sip of wine, grabbed the rabbit and started to chew it.

Chen Taizhong killed the rabbit in his hand like a storm, and then closed his eyes and meditated. The fairy spirit in the fairy world was so abundant that he was unwilling to waste any time.

The middle-aged man ate very slowly, chewing the rabbit carefully. It took him almost half an hour to finish it.

Putting the cup and gourd into his storage bag, he stood up, glanced at the young man who was meditating, and then turned to leave. He was suddenly startled, "This spiritual energy..."

The next moment, the spirit energy from all directions slowly surged in. As time went by, the speed became faster and faster, and they poured into the meditating body.

The young man meditating remained unmoved and refused to accept the incoming spiritual energy. Even if the spiritual energy came one after another, each wave thicker than the last, his body was like a bottomless pit, effortlessly flowing.

Absorbing spiritual energy.
