“You are…?”
Bai Xiaozhen frowned slightly. She had been here for a few years and had met several wandering cultivators in the nearby area, but these two were complete strangers.
Her voice sounded somewhat deep, and coupled with her huge figure, it was filled with a huge sense of oppression, which made the expressions of the two Qi Refiners become a little nervous.
The male Qi cultivator quickly said, "We are the deacons of the Xisi Chamber of Commerce's Pingzhou branch. You should have heard of the name of our Xisi Chamber of Commerce's president, Ms. Theresa."
As deacons of the branch, they had never met Theresa who was far away in Shuijiang City, so they were a little confused and wondered how this casual cultivator from a remote place got to know the big boss.
However, although they felt strange, they did not show it.
Instead, he looked like he was doing his job properly.
Theresa?
That foreign noble, the Countess?
Thinking of the used Xuanlu flower and the warning given by the Medicine Fairy, Bai Xiaozhen's face couldn't help but become serious.
"...Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Bai Xiaozhen, who was sitting on the discus weapon, asked this.
"Ms. Theresa instructed the Chamber of Commerce to give this to you." The female monk on the other side pulled out a jade token from her bosom and handed it over. "But we don't know what it is specifically. This jade token has been encrypted. Only the corresponding magical aura can activate it."
Bai Xiaozhen took the jade token. It felt slightly cool to her touch. She weighed it carefully twice before nodding, "Thank you for the long trip."
"Since the things have been brought here, we won't bother you anymore."
Nothing else went wrong with this matter, so the two Qi Refiners breathed a sigh of relief and quickly rode away on their steam Pegasus.
Although they were both at the Dao Foundation Stage, a warning came from their minds.
That is this strong female cultivator, an extremely dangerous person.
"This Pegasus magical weapon is much more beautiful than the ones I made myself."
Watching the steam Pegasus fly away, Bai Xiaozhen showed a bit of envy.
She lowered her head and looked at the jade token in her hand. It was only the length of a finger, small in appearance, and crystal clear. It was not an ordinary object.
Then Bai Xiaozhen carefully injected magic power into it, and then the beautiful and delicate blonde countess appeared in front of her.
Of course, it's just a projection.
"Bai Xiaozhen."
Theresa in the projection looked lively and did not seem like a pre-recorded illusion.
"Hello, Lord Earl."
Bai Xiaozhen only took a glance and realized that this might be a real-time projection.
In other words, the other party was communicating with her through this jade token.
"You once promised to do what you can for me. Now, you need to fulfill your promise."
Count Theresa's voice came slowly from inside.
"...I did promise that, so I wonder what the Earl's orders are now?"
Bai Xiaozhen's eyes flashed and he asked quickly.
She hadn't considered breaking the contract, because she seemed completely unable to fathom this foreign nobleman's power and strength. Breaking the promise and becoming his enemy would be a recipe for disaster.
"There is a small island in Chunyang Lake. On the island grows a small white flower the size of a palm. Just bring the flower to me."
I originally thought it was some dangerous matter of conquering monsters or hunting down criminals, but unexpectedly, Theresa just spoke lightly and asked Bai Xiaozhen to get her a white flower.
Although there are monsters everywhere in Chunyang Lake, and there are even some extremely dangerous large monsters, it is just a matter of going to a small island and secretly picking a white flower.
This shouldn't be a difficult task for her now.
A map pattern appeared on the projection, which was the topographic map of Chunyang Lake.
On the map, there is a small oval island marked.
Bai Xiaozhen took a careful look and compared it with the nearby terrain reference features, and found that the location of this small island was not far from her current distance.
Just southeast.
"I......"
Bai Xiaozhen hesitated.
Lingji's feedback seemed to remind her that this seemingly simple thing should not be so easy to do.
She couldn't help but ask again, "My Lord Earl, are there any powerful demons on this island or in the surrounding areas that are comparable to those at the Nascent Soul stage or above?"
"Oh--"
Countess Theresa still only chuckled, with an unspeakable contempt in her laughter.
However, she still spoke slowly: "I said it is something that is within your ability. Can something far beyond your ability be called within your ability? There is only one seriously injured and sleeping demon on the island, and its strength is not much higher than your current strength."
Bai Xiaozhen didn't care about the sarcasm in Theresa's tone, she just felt even more strange about it.
Did the Countess really just ask her to pick a flower?
It's like exchanging flowers for one another.
She took a daylily flower from the other person, and now she wants to return a small white flower to him.
But the value of the small white flowers growing on the island should not be comparable to that of the daylily flowers, right?
Perhaps in the eyes of others, there is no difference between the rare helianthus flower and any small white flower. They are just ornamental plants.
"...Medicine Fairy, were you overthinking it back then?"
Bai Xiaozhen nodded and accepted the request. "I wonder how I can contact the Earl after I pick that little white flower?"
"After you pick them, I will come and get them."
