Chapter 54: Iron Bones
Bei Qi sneered, "You're the one asking for help. How afraid are you of us?"
Wen Qing ignored Bei Qi's teasing and continued to play chess with Jun Chao obediently.
His chess skills are not as good as Jun Chao's, so he has a good time practicing recently.
Jun Chao also laughed, "The little trace left by the auction will make the Bai Zi Mansion feel like they are facing a powerful enemy. If that family knew that the three of us are now in the city, I'm afraid they would be even more uneasy."
"Did you find out anything? Did you make a mistake?"
Wen Qing shook his head. "No, there was a formation near the Bai Mansion. I was afraid of scaring them so I didn't approach them. Only a trace of ghost followed the woman."
"She has been getting close to the young master of the Bai family recently. I heard that her strange leader has issued a new mission to obtain the Red Moon Hibiscus Flower, get to know the young master of the Bai family, and save his life."
"That Tongzi may have the ability to predict the future. Should we tell Hehe?"
Jun Chao's face was calm, "What's the point of hiding it from him? Of course, He He knows more than us. If you don't tell him, how do you know what other tricks are waiting for you later?"
"That woman's origins are unknown. What if she interferes with our path to ascension in the future?"
Ouyang Yinyin does have other ways to earn points. After all, the five strategy masters have not made any progress here, and she can't just sit and wait. Although the points for other tasks are few, it is better than nothing.
She must be very anxious because she couldn't communicate with several of her targets. In addition, she had frequent problems with her face recently. Even if she was reluctant to do the mission, she had no other choice.
She still had no idea what was wrong with her face. She had basically used up all the herbs that the sword spirit had found for her, so she had just come out to look for medicine.
The system estimated that there was no way to save her face. After all, Bei Qi and Wen Qing's strength far exceeded the settings of the small world, and the system could only help her suppress the toxins at best.
The three of them chatted with each other casually, not really taking these trivial matters to heart. Anyway, as long as the capture girl didn't set her sights on He Cen now, it didn't matter if they ignored her for the time being.
In the eyes of Jun Chao and the others, the little sword spirit is of course more important.
Two days later, He Cen crawled out of the sword. As soon as he climbed out, he fell on the bed, sighing and looking lifeless.
Bei Qi came up and rubbed his little face. "What's wrong, baby? Is it not going well? Any new discoveries?"
He Cen sighed, feeling a little disappointed. "The new discovery is that to get the things in the ironwood, we must find something new. That thing is far away, so we have to run."
Jun Chao and Wen Qing also looked over, "What are you looking for?"
He Cen looked at Jun Chao and said, "I'll find you something good. I'll find some strange water and some special strange fire."
The three of them were stunned for a moment, "Strange water?"
Is there such a thing in the world of cultivation?
He Cen nodded seriously, "Yes, it's rare and hard to catch. The memories accumulated by my consciousness say there are clues in Qianqiu Tower. It's very troublesome to find it."
The thing called strange fire was easy to understand. After all, there were several big guys in the cultivation world who mastered it, and Bo Lou was an expert at using strange fire. But as for strange water, I had never heard of it before.
Not to mention that there is anyone who can possess it, I have never seen it before.
Now that the little sword spirit suddenly brought up such a thing, everyone was quite curious.
He Cen pulled Bei Qi's hand and said, "Strange water can only be used to bless people who have never possessed strange fire. You, Wen Qing, and Bo Lou all have their own strange fires. Strange water will be rejected instinctively, so it cannot be given to you. Only Jun Chao is suitable."
"I thought it was simple, but after I bought three pieces of ironwood, things became complicated."
Bei Qi comforted him, "It's okay. What we have the most is time. Cultivation is hard, and success depends on human effort. Besides, this is a good thing that you found for us, so we can't give it up easily."
"You haven't told us yet what good things are in that ironwood."
He Cen paused for a moment, "Ah? Didn't I tell you yet?"
He slapped his forehead and said, "I actually forgot to mention... it's Baogan, Iron Bone Baogan. There are Iron Bone Baogans in those three pieces of wood. They are extremely hard. After the Iron Bone Wood grew for 100,000 years, it began to evolve, and it went back to its source and grew again, and it has reached the thousand-year mark. These three pieces of Iron Bone Wood come from the same Iron Bone Wood, and the quality is extremely good. If the Baogan can be taken out, whether it is used as a sharp weapon or a defensive weapon, it will be a rare treasure."
"I thought if I could take it out, I could use one part for your fan bone and one part for my sword sheath. That would be perfect."
"People at the auction were ignorant of the goods and didn't even know there were such good treasures there."
Jun smiled at them, "We don't know what's good. If it weren't for He He, who would have known that there were things like Bao Gan in here."
"Thank goodness you're here, otherwise we would have missed out on such a wonderful treasure."
He Cen waved his hands, "Alas~ Who told me to live longer and know more~"
"You guys take care of me so wholeheartedly, so I have to side with you. By the way, is there any movement in the Bai Mansion recently? Where is that stinky woman?"
Wen Qing patiently told He Cen the news he had learned before. He Cen touched his chin and said, "Her system does not have any real predictive ability. It can only deduce events. Assuming a situation, the development of most people will form a general rule. If there are no unexpected events, the woman can basically complete the task by following the traces deduced by the system."
"Who is this young master of the Bai family? Is he the idiot who smashed the restaurant the other day?"
Wen Qing shook his head, "It's not him. The young master of the Bai family is currently studying in Piao Miao Sect. He is the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Bai family."
Jun Chao said, "I have also sent people to inquire about this. The young master of the Bai family has a good character, is intelligent, and is upright. He went to study in the Immortal Sect when he was very young. Over the years, he has not returned to the Bai family very often, so it is possible that he is not very clear about the family's movements."
"His master from the Piao Miao Sect likes him very much. I have some friendship with that Taoist priest. Every time we meet, he always praises his good disciple. If he knew that his good disciple might be targeted by a strange woman, I'm afraid that old man would be furious."
A few people laughed a few times, but He Cen was still a little puzzled. "I just don't know what node is wrong that will cause the young master of the Bai family to suffer. How can she not complete this mission?"
"It's a small matter to get the hibiscus flower, but it would be a big deal if she got a favor from the young master."
Jun Chao nodded, "Don't worry, I've already sent a spiritual message. He was supposed to be at the upcoming Furong Conference, but I asked his master to find him something to do, so he probably won't be able to leave for the time being."
He Cen was very happy, "Yes, yes, that's it."
"We can't miss any opportunity to earn points for her."
