599. Cutting a Figure (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
“Yuan Yuan, do you know someone called Mo Yi and Su Rong?” Mo Fei tentatively asked.
Yuan Yuan nodded, “Yeah. Like me, they also claimed the task of taking care of the spiritual land. But those two are impressive. Once they got the task, they won honor. Now they are man of the hour in the eyes of those outer disciples.”
Mo Fei winked with some excitement and asked, “Really? These guys are so good?”
Yuan Yuan, eyes flickering, said with a total face of admiration, “Of course!”
Mo Fei picked his eyebrow and asked with interest, “But how?”
Yuan Yuan spoke with fervor and a.s.surance, “The spiritual land those bad guys of the task hall a.s.signed him has poor spiritual qi. Not long after the spiritual plants are planted, they’d wither soon. Those who got allocated there all got down the drain. Over time, that land got abandoned.”
“This time two were a.s.signed to take care of that land, and we all thought they are so unlucky. If With that land, they would never grow anything out of it.”
“But once they got there, they dug a thousand chi into the ground and found a spirit-sucking worms’ nest?”
“Spirit-sucking worm? What is that?” Mo fei asked, puzzled.
Yuan Yuan nodded and said, “Spirit-sucking worm is a kind of pest that can absorb the spiritual qi from the field. This kind of worm is very slippery. Once it senses the danger, it will quickly dig into the earth below, which is very difficult to deal with.”
“There is a worm nest in that field. No wonder, over the years, the plants have failed to survive. And the grade of the fields has been falling.”
Mo Fei raised his eyebrow and said, “Really?”
Yuan Yuan nodded and said, “Yes! It’s a good thing that it was discovered early, otherwise, when the spirit-sucking worms continue sucking, the surrounding land will be affected. Those two are really fierce, and the worm nests in the depths of the earth were torn to shreds, and it was a magnificent sight…”
“After those spirit-sucking worms got killed, the bodies fed the energy back to the spiritual field, suddenly making its spiritual qi much denser. So now if planting now, it’d grow well.”
Mo Fei squinted, “I see!”
Yuan Yuan said jealously, “Even the outer and inner door elders heard about the spiritual land thing. And they were rewarded thirty low grade star crystals.”
Mo Fei narrowed his eyes. There are countless elders of the sect, while Ji Ru is only a xuan cla.s.s. She might bribe one or two outer door elders. But it’s impossible to cover the sky with a palm of hers.
Mo Fei rubbed his nose, thinking: it seems that Yiyi and Su Rong are living good there! So, it seems only Zheng Xuan and I are only suffering. I wonder how is Qian Ye now.
Mo Fei looked at Yuan Yuan and asked, “Did you hear about Qian Ye?”
Yuan Yuan shook his head and said, “No, not much.”
Mo Fei said with a dejected tone, “I see!”
Just as they were talking, there was a knock at the door.
Yuan Yuan quickly walked over, opened the door, and saw Mo Yi and Su Rong, got surprised.
After Mo Yi and Su Rong had solved the problem of the spirit-sucking worms, they had become has become the idol of Yuan Yuan. So as he suddenly saw them, Yuan Yuan felt a bit startled.
“Senior brothers, why are you here?” Yuan Yuan said hurriedly.
Mo Yi nodded at him, “We are here to look for someone.”
Mo Fei waved his hand at Mo Yi and Su Rong, “You are here.”
Su Rong nodded, looking a little worried, “Mo Fei, I heard that you are not doing good recently.”
Mo Fei chuckled and said, “It’s all right. When the sky is about to fall upon a great man, he must first suffer, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and exhaust his body. You know, I will be a person who will make divine magic weapons, and if I want to make it, I got to suffer some hards.h.i.+ps.”
Yuan Yuan looked at the chattering Mo Fei, thinking: Oh no! Mo Fei got influenced by Eder Cheng, and start to have unrealistic dreams.
Su Rong and Mo Yi looked at each other. Su Rong took out a storage bag and said, “Young master, this is for you.”
Mo Fei’s soul force swept in, found 10 low grade star crystals.
A goose feather sent from a thousand li away, the gift is trifling but the feeling is profound!
Mo Fei felt warm in the heart, shook his head and said, “Lou Yu sent me some before. I was going to send you some. Keep them for yourselves for your cultivation. This time you are cutting a figure. G.o.d knows how many people would be aiming at you.
Su Rong still wanted to say something, but after sweeping the storage bad in Mo Fei’s hand, he put his own away.
“Prince Yu is Prince Yu!” Mo Yi couldn’t help saying.
Mo Fei smiled and said, “Lou Yu is just lucky. By the way, Rongrong, what did Qian Ye do?”
Su Rong shrugged and said, “He went to chop wood?”
“Chop wood?” Mo Fei muttered, frowning. “Anything wrong with the mission?”
Su Rong twitched his mouth, “Except the one who claimed this tasks, it’s all some rough men. There are nearly no chicks. So there’d be no problem.”
Mo Fei, “…”
Mo Fei smiled and said, “No chicks? Rongrong, you should go check on him when you have time. Otherwise, Qian Ye would be too miserable.”
Su Rong’s expression changed and he said angrily, “I don’t care.”
Mo Yi cast a glance at Su Rong, and then said to Mo Fei, “Qian Ye’s task is cutting off gold silk bamboo, this kind of bamboo is very hard, very difficult to cut off.”
Mo Fei nodded and said, “Oh I see!”
Yuan Yuan blinked and interposed, “It takes three days to cut down a gold silk bamboo for a level te. How many sticks of gold silk bamboo is senior brother Qian Ye required to hand over a day?”
Mo Yi helplessly said, “Two a day.”
“So many? Isn’t that the requirement for those of human cla.s.s?” Yuan Yuan’s eyes widened.
Mo Yi nodded and said: “Yes! The mission hall made a mistake.”
Yuan Yuan, “…”
Mo Fei frowned and said, “Can Qian Ye complete the task?”
