Chapter 42: Taking Advantage of the Situation



"My master has passed away and cannot accept the invitation. Please think of another way."

Seeing that Lu Ping was unmoved, the Taoist seemed a little anxious.

"Since you are the disciple of Master Qingfeng and can refine elixirs, it will be the same if you come forward."

Lu Ping was stunned when he heard this.

"I?"

"That's right."

Lu Ping felt funny. It was feasible for the foundation-building master to take the lead. But him? Although he said that alchemy was better than the pure cultivation master, it was just talk.

I have no status at all, isn't this Taoist priest too blindly seeking medical advice?

Seeing that Lu Ping was still unmoved, the Taoist said:

"If you can help pass on the message, we are willing to give you 100 spirit stones, regardless of whether the task is accomplished or not."

Lu Ping felt a little moved.

With a swipe, the system popped up a flashing interface, and Lu Ping realized that there was a task.

Just when Lu Ping was feeling a little strange, his expression turned even weirder after he looked at the content of the task.

Mission: Destroy the Dafeng Medicine Shop Content: Go to Yuheifeng Cliff and destroy the three people from the Dafeng Medicine Shop (0/3)

Blackwood (0/1) Blue Rock (0/1) Bear Power (0/1)

Rewards: elixir, middle-grade magic weapon Micro-silk whisk, disguise Accept/reject The Taoist priest beside him saw that Lu Ping was thinking about something, so he stopped urging him, lest he go too far.

Seeing Kuroki's name, Lu Ping was thinking about something.

"Okay, I agree."

"Daoyou is really straightforward."

Lu Ping stopped the Taoist's excitement.

"I don't know, where is the meeting again?"

The Taoist said, "We agreed to meet at Black Wind Cliff outside the market."

"Why not in the market?"

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that we are all people who have been deceived by the Dafeng Pharmacy. It is inevitable that we will be discovered when we gather together. It will be bad if they run away."

Lu Ping nodded, seeming to agree with this reason.

"It's just as I thought," Lu Ping decided to take the task.

After Lu Ping accepted the task, the interface stopped flashing and the word "Not Completed" appeared.

"So, fellow Taoist, when do you think we should gather?"

The Taoist thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow night is the time we agreed on."

"Okay, please come and call me when the time comes."

The Taoist was a little excited after hearing this, "Of course, of course."

When Lu Ping closed the door after seeing the Taoist priest leave, his face changed drastically.

I thought, "I didn't expect that Dafeng Pharmacy didn't cause any trouble when Master Qingxiu was alive, but now they are attacking me. It's a pity that they didn't expect that the information displayed by the system would directly expose them."

Lu Ping took another look at the rewards given by the system task. According to the experience summarized from previous tasks, the task rewards must have a certain connection with the task objectives.

Then the whisk is related to the Taoist priest, and the elixir is related to the Dafeng Pharmacy.

As for the three monks. If they were prepared for the worst, they would be three cultivators in the late stage of Qi training who had magical instruments. Even if they were fully equipped, they would still be defeated by two fists and four hands, but they would inevitably die. However, they had the ability to fly in the air, so they still had a great chance. Even if they were defeated, it would be a good idea to use the Bagua robe to defend against the enemy and escape by flying in the wind.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping's heart calmed down.

He went to the backyard and practiced sword skills over and over again.

After the Taoist left Qingfeng Danpu, he left the market town directly and walked to Heifeng Cliff. He then stopped there for a while and found that no one was following him, so he disguised himself and went to Dafeng Pharmacy in the market town.

"How is it? Taoist Heimu, how is the situation? Did the boy agree?"

"Hehe, Qingxiu is dead, and that kid named Lu Ping doesn't seem to have much social experience at all. I fooled him a lot."

"In the end, they used a large sum of money and promised him benefits, and simply deceived him."

"We have agreed to go to Black Wind Cliff tomorrow afternoon. You two should prepare in advance."

"Don't worry, it's no problem. When the time comes, we will just follow the old plan and kill him directly."

"But you should ask him about his background on the way."

"So what if he has a background? We just killed him. Taihang Island is well connected and full of people. Even if there is some power behind him, can they find us?"

"Besides, there can't be a Jindan master behind him. If there is a Jindan master, why would he be a disciple under that Qingxiu? Don't you think so, Qingyan?"

"Yes, that's the truth."

Xiong Li, who was standing by, couldn't wait any longer. "How much wealth did Qing Xiu leave behind?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Who knows? Anyway, seeing that Qingxiu's funeral was quite simple, it probably didn't cost much."

Taoist Heimu said again, "Guess what that kid said."

"say what?"

"That guy also said that he could refine elixirs. I didn't expect that Qingxiu, this guy, seemed to be righteous and moral, but the disciples he accepted were not that good. Aren't they doing the same business as us?"

The shopkeeper Qingyan next to him sighed when he heard this, "If Qingxiu could be as sensible as his kid, why would we do this? Isn't it better to take things slow and steady?"

"Okay, what's going on? I've already told you guys that I have to go back quickly. It would be bad if he saw me and recognized me."

"What are you afraid of? We know your disguise skills. Ordinary people can't see it at all."

When it comes to the art of disguise, the Taoist named Heimu also looks very proud.

Finally, the three of them agreed, "We'll still follow the old rules when assigning us."

"That's natural."

At noon the next day, Taoist Heimu arrived at Qingfeng Danpu on time.

Lu Ping has been waiting for a long time. "Daoist Lu Ping must be getting a little impatient."

"Some, but I thought about it yesterday and have some questions I want to ask you."

Taoist Heimu cursed inwardly, "Nosy".

Then he said in a friendly manner, "Why don't we talk as we go? When we get to a place, we can pay 30% of the benefits first after we have discussed it."

After hearing this, Lu Ping seemed to be tempted by the spirit stone and agreed immediately.

The two of them walked out of the market together.

Hei Feng asked casually, "Where is Daoist Brother Lu practicing?"

"I am just a casual cultivator. How lucky am I to have received the true teachings from Master Qingxiu?"

"It's better to be a casual cultivator." Hei Mu said casually.

"What kind of casual cultivation is good?"

Hei Mu hurriedly explained, "As independent cultivators, we are often bullied by people from large families because we are alone and powerless. But we have formed a small group and are trying to develop a certain level of self-protection capabilities. We need talents like you."

After hearing this, Lu Ping just nodded but did not agree.

Taoist Heimu did not continue to mention the matter. It was just a casual explanation anyway.

As they moved forward, Lu Ping kept his spiritual eyes open and saw nothing unusual as the number of people became increasingly sparse.

Lu Ping asked Taoist Heimu again, "Since this Dafeng Pharmacy can do such fraudulent things, what is its backer?"

"Is it the Blue Guards? What if I help you and the Blue Guards take action?"
