The old demon from Montenegro laughed loudly: "Very good. Little monk, if I succeed in my cultivation, I will definitely be rewarded when we meet again."
"What follows is a big secret, so I won't share it with you mortals."
"Let's go! You, the mage, will go to the back of the mountain for a secret talk with me."
"As a thank you, little monk, please take this."
After saying this, the old Black Mountain demon threw an object out of the mist. Mai Fan caught it with a snap, and when he lowered his head, he saw another dark stone.
The game's appraisal gave the answer immediately.
‘Black Earth Essence’
‘Item refining material’ ‘Earth element’
This is a rare material that has never been seen on the market.
Mai Fan knew that not only would his living expenses be met next year and the year after, he might also be able to live a popular and popular life in the next five years.
At this time, Mai Fan held back the ecstasy in his heart and sang a promise to the old demon from Montenegro as a proper thank you.
This old Black Mountain demon was very helpful. He carried the mage and laughed wildly as he disappeared into the vast Black Mountain.
The people behind him were dumbfounded by what Mai Fan had done.
After walking in the Black Mountain for a long time, the bold leader approached Mai Fan and said, "Little Master, are we out of danger?"
Mai Fan looked at the sky and nodded: "We will leave the Black Mountain area immediately after dawn. I will tell you in detail."
Everyone has already been impressed by Mai Fan's operation.
When the rooster crows three times, the caravan members quickly pack up their goods and head to the final destination.
After leaving the border of Montenegro for a long time and seeing the faint smoke, the leader of the caravan dared to come over and continue to inquire.
Mai Fan sighed: "Then the mage has brought it upon himself, and he must be in trouble."
"As for why you came over, I also understand. You must know that the thing thrown by the monster is extremely evil.
If it weren't for the blessing of Buddhism, I wouldn't be able to suppress it at all.
The young monk must rush to Jinshan Temple and ask Master Fahai there to take a look at it for me."
"You mortals are better off hiding away when encountering something like this."
"It's very unbearable to carry this black stone with you."
After hearing these words, the team leader had no intention of collecting a rare item.
Now that the destination of Hangzhou has been reached, it is time to go our separate ways with this little monk.
Thinking of this, the team leader handed Mai Fan a package: "Young master, please don't dislike it. This is a little bit of our thoughts."
"If it weren't for the protection of my little master, all of us might have ended up in that Lanruo Temple."
Mai Fan was not polite, took the package and thanked him, watching the caravan gradually go away.
Ah, this is the monetary reward in the side mission!
But what was the great benefit that the abbot of Lanruo Temple told me back then?
Mai Fan squinted his eyes and observed the group of businessmen again, only to find that after the incident, the words on the leader's head had changed.
He changed from an ordinary caravan leader to a secretive businessman.
In other words, as long as Mai Fan looks for him in the future, he might be able to buy unexpected products.
This is really an unexpected surprise. Only by saving their lives can this businessman change.
It’s really interesting. What other interesting things will he encounter if he goes to Jinshan Temple?
Just as Mai Fan was thinking about it, a startled voice came from behind him: "It's you, the bald donkey of Fan."
Mai Fan turned around and spotted an acquaintance.
"Xuanyuan Batian?"
"Aren't you the leader of the Money Gang? How did you come to Suhang?"
Xuanyuan Batian smiled proudly: "The head office of our Money Gang is here. Money Gang, Money Gang, of course, the most profitable and prosperous place is where our gang is located."
"It's you, aren't you a monk from Shaolin Temple? Why are you here?"
There is nothing to lie about.
Mai Fan answered truthfully: "Senior brother recommended me to study magic at Jinshan Temple."
Xuanyuan Batian's face looked very strange after hearing this answer.
"Study under Fa Hai?"
Mai Fan nodded.
This made Xuanyuan Batian laugh triumphantly: "Haha, you are miserable, Mai Bald Donkey."
"Do you know who our Money Gang is doing business with?"
Mai Fan stared at Xuanyuan Batian for only a few seconds and replied: "Xu Xian or White Snake?"
This answer made Xuanyuan Batian choke on his laughter, and then he said angrily: "Now that you have guessed it, do you think you will still get something good to eat?"
"You said we both knew where this story was going."
"With mutual interference, who can achieve the ultimate goal?"
Mai Fan felt very strange: "My purpose is to learn Buddhist magic."
"Your goal is to make money and upgrade."
Even if the two NPCs we use each other have a winner.
"Will it have any impact on each other's development?"
Xuanyuan Batian smiled: "That's not necessarily true."
"If I tell the white lady, you little bald ass is specially designed to interfere with shemale love."
"Do you think the rest of your life will be easy?"
Mai Fan smiled: "Then if I tell Master Fahai that your money gang is a hiding place for evil and specializes in doing business with goblins, what do you think he will do?"
Xuanyuan Batian: "You!"
Mai Fan smiled and sang a promise: "So the two of us will see who can kill the other first based on our abilities??"
After saying this, Mai Fan didn't give Xuanyuan Batian a chance to react, and ran towards Jinshan Temple with his small bag on his back.
"Hey, wait a moment."
Mai Fan, who had mastered Qing Kung Fu, ran away and disappeared.
Xuanyuan Batian felt palpitations in his heart, and he felt that the coming days would be difficult.
The rest of Mai Fan's journey went very smoothly.
Jinshan Temple is the most famous temple in Suzhou and Hangzhou. After he submitted the invitation, he was led by the young monk to where Master Fahai sat down.
Master Fahai stared at Mai Fan for a long time, pointed to the futon in front of him, and said: "Sit down, I have heard your master tell you about you a long time ago."
"I told you at that time not to go to Shaolin and just send you directly to me."
"Now that I have wasted half a year, everything seems to be okay."
"Spirituality is still stronger than the Buddha's light, so it's a good time to practice."
"I am very pleased that secular martial arts have not worn away your spirituality."
"From now on, you will study Buddhist magic under my seat and follow my master to slay demons."
This was also Mai Fan's purpose, so he naturally agreed immediately.
The days that followed felt like returning to the time of Huichang Temple.
Apart from memorizing some convoluted laws, it is no different from ordinary temple life.
If it weren't for the newly developed progress bar, Mai Fan would have thought that he hadn't learned anything real at all.
