Chapter 172 Golden Armored Bear

The next day, when leaving the city, Li Qingshan followed Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan to buy ten roasted sweet potatoes, and then gave five to each of them when leaving the city.

“So delicious?”

Seeing the two people thanking him happily and putting away the five roasted sweet potatoes, he expressed his confusion.

Yesterday, he had found a place to stay and thought that everyone would go back to their rooms to rest and adjust their states as they did in the past when they went on missions, and prepare for the next day's mission.

But who would have known that after getting in touch with them, they actually invited him to a restaurant for dinner, saying it was a famous restaurant in the entire Qingyun City. He went over to have a meal with them, and honestly, the food tasted really good. But for them as cultivators, the most important thing was to practice and improve their cultivation, so such appetite-related things should be rare.

Unexpectedly, they said they wanted to buy these roasted sweet potatoes. After giving him one to eat, they confirmed that he didn't plan to buy it, so they asked him to help "buy" it today.

"Mmm, it's delicious. Senior Brother Li also ate it yesterday, and you said it was delicious too."

Lin Xiaoman nodded repeatedly, took out one, peeled it and started eating. He was about to set off for the Misty Forest, so he ate one before the fight to replenish his mental energy.

"Fortunately, Senior Brother Li doesn't want to buy it, otherwise we would be short of five. Senior Brother Li, after we finish our mission and come out, let's go to Qingyun City again. Then you can help us buy it again, okay?"

Chen Shuyan also took one out to eat and said to Li Qingshan with a smile.

Li Qingshan: ... "Okay."

The two of them quickly finished a roasted sweet potato, then flew on their swords with Li Qingshan and headed straight for their destination.

It is not particularly far from Qingyun City to the Misty Forest. In addition, they are now cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so their speed is much faster than that of the Qi Refining Stage. They arrived in just over an hour.

Once you enter the misty forest, you can no longer fly randomly at high altitudes like you do outside, but you have to be careful about everything.

The mission map was clearly marked and not difficult to recognize. They soon arrived at their destination, outside a valley.

"Is this the place? Royal jelly, intermediate-level Xuan-level royal jelly, are you going to refine some kind of elixir?"

Lin Xiaoman looked up at the mountains in front of her and suddenly thought, would this royal jelly be delicious? It would be a waste to use it simply to refine pills. She wanted to eat it.

"Can we keep some for ourselves later? Royal jelly would be delicious if grilled. Well, it would also be delicious if soaked in water and made into juice."

Li Qingshan glanced at Lin Xiaoman silently, "This mission is not to refine the elixir, but it was issued by Qingxin Zhenren."

"Pure Heart Immortal?"

Lin Xiaoman didn't know who this person was, but anyone who could be called a true person must be a senior with the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage, like her master, who was said to be named Sanfu Zhenren.

"Ahem, that's my master." Chen Shuyan suddenly coughed lightly, scratched his head and said.

Lin Xiaoman's eyes widened when she heard this, and she suddenly remembered that when the two of them formed a team to participate in the competition at the Tianjiao Conference, they got some royal jelly. In order to fight the enemy, they spread it out to lure the Earthly Evil Bear. At that time, Chen Shuyan also said that he would ask her master for some Xuan-level royal jelly for her to eat.

So that's how it is. It seems that this Qingxin Zhenren really likes sweets, or rather, he likes royal jelly, and he even issued a special task to get it. After this task was issued, Lin Xiaoman and the other two can each get 100 points. I wonder if the sect has deducted some of them.

"Your master is really rich, ahem, really wealthy."

Aren’t they said that sword cultivators are all poor?

However, they are all big guys, so it shouldn’t matter what kind of cultivation they follow. After all, they are big guys, so how can they be poor?

"Wait, your master is actually a Nascent Soul master? That's amazing."

Her great-master is only at the Nascent Soul stage. If we calculate based on seniority, Chen Shuyan is one generation older than her.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter that I'm poor."

Lin Xiaoman: ...

She took out two stacks of invisibility charms and handed one to each of them, "Here, invisibility charms. You mean you're going to need them this time?"

After hearing about the mission, she probably guessed the reason why the invisibility talisman was needed. There must be a lot of bees in the valley, and these bees were certainly not the ordinary bees she had seen before, but powerful monsters.

A single bee might only be of the second or third level, but what if there were tens of thousands of them? Even if they were all first-level monsters, countless bees gathered together, and they would be very troublesome to deal with. What's more, there is also the guardian monster Golden Armor Bear in this valley.

Li Qingshan and Chen Shuyan's eyes lit up when they saw this. Both Chen Shuyan and Li Qingshan had witnessed Lin Xiaoman's boldness in using talismans, so they were not surprised at all that she took out a stack of invisibility talismans at once.

Both of them took the talisman skillfully and paid the spirit stones according to the market price. They were already familiar with this process.

"Alright, let's get ready to go. Remember, if we get exposed, just do as we said before: run!"

"good."

"good."

Li Qingshan put an invisibility talisman on his body and was about to enter the valley, but he saw Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan each put one, two, three... five invisibility talismans on themselves.

The corners of his mouth twitched, he looked at them silently, then took out two more invisibility talismans and stuck them on himself, ready to use at any time.

Well, he was just a sword cultivator, so he didn't dare to use talismans without spirit stones like the talisman cultivators did. As for Chen Shuyan, who was also a sword cultivator, he remembered that she was not so generous in the past!

Shaking his head and not thinking any more, Li Qingshan took the lead. After making sure that Lin Xiaoman and the others were ready, he made a gesture and set off into the valley.

Lin Xiaoman walked in the middle and Chen Shuyan was the rear guard. After the three of them entered the valley, they felt that it was very quiet here. At first, they didn't see anything. When they entered the center of the valley and walked further in, they could see huge golden armored bear footprints. Going further ahead, they even saw a young golden armored bear playing with honey.

"Be careful, the cub is here, and there should be an adult golden-armored bear nearby."

Li Qingshan's voice transmission came from her mind. Lin Xiaoman nodded slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Hey, now she has mastered the skill of voice transmission. A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage should have too many basic skills, and they are super practical.

Carefully avoiding the golden-armored bear, they saw more adult golden-armored bears ahead, but they were all level three or level two. The three of them were not afraid and went all the way to the bottom of the valley. Then they heard all kinds of buzzing sounds, and... there were golden-armored bears scattered everywhere, sitting on different rocks to bask in the sun.

Lin Xiaoman and the other two hid behind the rocks and looked at the spectacular scene in front of them with their eyes widened. Wow, there were 22 golden armored bears, including one fifth-level golden armored bear, three fourth-level ones, and the rest were all third-level and second-level ones, and some cubs were first-level ones.

Behind the group of golden-armored bears was a huge cave. They even saw a fifth-level golden-armored bear emerge from the cave, dragging large chunks of honeycomb dripping with royal jelly. Hiss! It smelled sweet.
