Zi Chen looked at the old man and felt very surprised.
There was a look of shame on the old man's face, "I know this is indeed a bit difficult, but this time I won't let you go in vain. I will return all the blue crystal coins I got in the past few days to you.
The reward for this trip."
The price offered by the old man surprised Zi Chen, but he shook his head and refused, "That's not necessary, the value of the black jade piece is enough for this mission."
The old man's additional request is for Zi Chen to help escort a person to a place called the City of Star Sea.
Zi Chen had never heard of that place, but according to Ted, it was far away and there might be a big crisis on the way.
Seeing Zi Chen agreeing so happily, Ted patted Zi Chen on the shoulder and said: "This trip is long and I can't let you go in vain. I will prepare some for you in the next two days.
Something for the road.”
The old man knew the current situation of the three of them very well. There was no extra blue crystal coins to buy other resources at the moment.
Once a battle breaks out on the way forward, the three of them will have no external objects to rely on and can only slowly recover their own consumption due to the extremely high consumption. In this way, the danger will naturally be greater.
Zi Chen did not refuse this time. Resources were related to his own life, so he could not be careless.
And when Zi Chen told the two of them about it, they were just surprised and didn't even have the necessary vigilance.
This actually surprised Zi Chen, and he immediately asked the two of them why they were so relaxed.
As a result, Shanya's answer made him dumbfounded.
"How risky do you think a mission assigned by the Three Realms will be?"
I have to say that this answer makes some sense, but you have to be careful in everything.
Looking at Zi Chen who was serious, Noah also smiled and said: "You have seen what kind of city this is. Even if there is danger, it will not pose a threat to us. Moreover, in the past few days, due to the reappearance of blue crystal particles, this place has become...
It has become lively once, and many forces have plans to re-enter here. If we leave now, we are leaving this place that is about to become a place of right and wrong, which is a good thing."
"Even if there are crises along the way, they are nothing compared to the crises in Blue Sand City that will follow. The only regret is that we can't go to the mines to find out."
Seeing how optimistic the two of them were, Zi Chen didn't say anything anymore.
That night, the four of them had dinner together again and then returned to their rooms.

It was late at night, and the old man was sitting in his living room, not yet asleep, wondering what he was waiting for.
The crystal ball emits soft light and illuminates the surrounding area.
Not long after, a person came to the living room and came in uninvited.
The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at the other person.
The visitor sat directly opposite the old man. He poured himself a glass of water, looked at the water in the glass without any heat, frowned slightly and said: "The water is cold, this is not your way of hospitality."
The old man said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"This time, my people will be responsible for escorting mainly, so when the job is completed, I will pay 80% of the reward." The person who came here said with a light knock on the table.
"Eighty percent?"
The old man snorted, "You have such a big appetite. This is the business I solicited. You, the lord of Lansha City, just want to interfere with you, but you still want 80% of the reward. Do you think it's possible?"
This person turned out to be the city lord of Lansha City, and the old man from the Third Realm actually used this attitude to talk to the city lord, so his status was obviously not ordinary.
"The road ahead is long, and I don't know what dangers it will bring. I have dispatched a large number of people here, but you only have three people here. Let you get 20% for the sake of face."
The city lord of Lansha City said: "Because those three people of yours are dispensable, which is equivalent to getting 20% of the reward without contributing any effort."
The old man shook his head and said: "In that case, let the three of them escort you. I don't want any of your people, and I don't even think about getting any reward from you!"
The Lord of Lansha City looked at the old man and became weird, "What is the reason that makes you want the three of them to leave the city even if you sacrifice some wealth? Could it be that the three of them have some special status?"
"At least 40%."
The old man said: "This is my bottom line!"
Looking at the resolute old man, the Lord of Lansha City nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it like this."
He stood up.
The old man said: "Let's set off early the day after tomorrow."
The Lord of Lansha City turned around and left, but as he left, a sarcastic smile flashed across his lips.
As the city lord left, another person walked in. This was a person whose face could not be seen clearly. He was wearing a black robe and standing in the shadows.
If you don't check carefully, it's almost impossible to detect the other party's existence.
"Go and prepare twelve Soul Hiding Talismans, six Soul Resurrection Talismans, and one Death Talisman."
After glancing at the man in black robe, the old man ordered.
The being hiding in the shadows hesitated: "I gave them such a valuable thing, do you want to remind them again?"
The old man said: "No need, Zi Chen is not a fool. If you can't even see this, then your death will be in vain."
"yes!"
The existence hidden in the shadows disappeared into the shadows.
Early the next morning, Zi Chen sent ten more Heavenly Power Holy Arms. He needed to exchange them for some blue crystal coins to use on the road.
After taking away the holy talisman, the old man took out other things he had prepared and handed them to Zi Chen.
Seeing these holy talismans, Zi Chen had a look of surprise in his eyes. He never knew that the holy talismans had such a powerful effect, which was comparable to those pills.
After learning about the functions of these holy symbols, his expression became solemn.
The value of these things is much higher than five thousand blue crystal coins. The old man brought out so many good things, which is enough to prove that this mission is unusual.
"What do you need me to do?" Zi Chen asked.
"You need to send people safely to the City of Star Sea."
"who?"
"You will know when the time comes!"
The old man patted Zi Chen on the shoulder and said, "Have a good night's rest and set off early tomorrow morning."

At night, in the city lord's palace, a luminous holy talisman was suspended in the air, and the light enveloped the entire hall.
There were only two people in the hall, the city lord and his most trusted and capable subordinate...Yikang.
Yi Kang was wearing a battle armor, and his whole body was filled with an iron-blooded aura. He was half-kneeling on the ground, with his hands clasped in fists.
The city lord said: "Be careful when you go to escort this time. I can't trust that old guy, so the employer may not be the master you think. As the saying goes, it's hard to tell the truth from the lie. You must be careful and find out the real one."
The employer comes out.”
A fierce light flashed in the city lord's eyes, and he wiped his hand from his neck, "After discovering this, everything will proceed according to plan!"
"The second thing is to notify the Ghost King's people immediately after the incident is completed and hand over the three of them."
The city lord's laughter resounded in the light of the holy talisman, "That old guy who doesn't know how to live or die, thinks that if he lives longer, he will be able to strategize and take everyone into account? As everyone knows, I have seen through everything about you.
This time, I will destroy all your plans and leave you with nothing!"
