Chapter 38 - A touch on the fingertip"Which area is the mission posted in?"
"Number 5!"
… ….
After exchanging the Shadow Spear, Chu Hen instantly became a "poor person".
This place in the capital was simply too expensive. Beneath the imperial city, it was not something that a small Lin Yan City could compare with.
In the current situation, Chu Hen had no choice but to have the thought of accepting a mission.
"You want to accept a mission?"
A gentle female voice came from behind the counter. It was a beautiful woman in her twenties.
Chu Hen nodded, "Mn, what kind of missions have you been on recently?"
"This was just released today. You can take a look..."
The other party took out a tome and placed it in front of Chu Hen. With a trace of curiosity, Chu Hen flipped to the first page.
"Fresh snake gall from Nine Section Snake, twenty mid-tier primeval stone."
"Twin Black Ganoderma, thirty mid-grade primeval stone."
"Young snow ferret, eighty mid-ranked primeval stone."
… ….
After flipping through a few pages, Chu Hen finally understood what kind of mission it was. It was obviously just a trade list. As long as you trade the things above, you can get the relative price.
This is a more popular understanding.
"Fifteen High Rank primeval stone?"
When Chu Hen reached the last page, he couldn"t help but be stunned. He once again carefully examined it to confirm that he didn"t see wrongly.
Crystal Blood Lotus, fifteen high rank primeval stone s for trade …
Chu Hen, who was born in the General"s Estate, had heard of the four words "Blood Gem Crystal Lotus".
This was a strange flower that grew in the damp and gloomy forest. The Blood Gem Crystal Lotus had absorbed the nutrients from the dead animals. When it bloomed, it would look like a lotus flower, and it was the color of blood, bewitching and enchanting.
The Blood Gem Lotus had a wide range of effects: it could cure hundreds of poisons, cure old injuries, heal new injuries, strengthen the physique, and raise one"s cultivation.
A Blood Gem Crystal Lotus was indeed worth fifteen high-grade primeval stone.
Fifteen high rank primeval stone, Chu Hen thought, if he could find the Blood Gem Crystal Lotus, he would be able to take away his favorite "Golden Python Reverse Scale Spear", and the remaining primeval stone would also be able to be used for a relatively long time.
However, in order to obtain the Blood Gem Crystal Lotus, a genius treasure, it was not enough just to have the ability to do so. One would also need a lot of luck.
"Where can we find the Blood Gem Crystal Lotus?" Can you tell me a bit? " Chu Hen casually asked.
The beautiful woman who was in charge of receiving her smiled and said, "I"m not sure where I can find this." "However, I heard that the Blood Gem Lotus has appeared in the Boneless Mountain Range..."
Boneless Mountain Range!
Two hundred miles away from Capital City City was a dangerous mountain range.
Countless demonic beasts of various sizes lived there, including venomous insects, snakes, and strange flowers and plants … There were often explorers who would go there to hunt demon beasts and obtain their beast cores.
There were also the students of the various High Martial House s who would train there and fight with the demon beasts to gain actual combat experience.
Of course, there were very few people who dared to venture deeper into the mountain range. Most of them were in the outer regions.
"In addition to the missions up there, we also accept demon beast cores. You can kill some small demon beasts and sell them to us …"
The woman across from him said.
Chu Hen smiled slightly, and asked: "Do I need to register to receive missions?"
"It"s not necessary. As long as you bring the item here, you can make a trade. However, there is a time cycle for the mission launch, if you take too long, over the deadline. "We will settle for 80% of the original transaction price …"
"I got it!"
Chu Hen nodded, he immediately remembered the majority of the mission"s contents, and then turned to leave.
… ….
He didn"t expect that he would be "forced to live a life" so soon.
A helpless smile surfaced on Chu Hen"s face, but it was not like there were no benefits at all. There were a lot of lesser demons and low-level greater demons at the outskirts of the Boneless Mountain Range, which could take advantage of this opportunity to increase their combat ability.
With the matter settled, Chu Hen prepared to leave.
Just then, an ornament on the counter of area no. 2 caught Chu Hen"s attention.
It was a blue woman"s bracelet, with a sapphire shaped like a crescent moon embedded in it. The craftsmanship of the bracelet was extremely exquisite. It did not have any sort of precious jewellery, and it looked especially fresh and generous.
Looking at this blue colored bracelet, a cute and obedient face unconsciously surfaced in Chu Hen"s mind.
Ye Yao!
In the past, when they were in the Young Sect School, the second young miss of the Lin Yan City"s Ye Family had always stuck to Chu Hen"s little girl.
Thinking about it, he hadn"t spoken to Ye Yao again ever since the night she had been framed by Liu Xiao. Even that time at the Ye family, it was only a quick parting.
Chu Hen remembered that Ye Yao had a blue bracelet in the past and it was said that it was a birthday present for her sister Ye You.
It was just that Ye Yao accidentally lost the bracelet, so she still cried for two hours.
Chu Hen had promised her at the time, that he would give her an identical bracelet as a gift the next time Ye Yao gave his a birthday present.
… ….
However, who would have thought that what would happen afterwards would be so unexpected that there wouldn"t even be time for people to get used to it?
Ye Yao should still be in Lin Yan City right now!
Will we meet again?
Even if they met again, would they still be able to face each other and laugh and play?
If that had not happened …
Chu Hen laughed self-deprecatingly, and could not return to the past. He could only say that in his heart, Ye Yao would always be his little sister. And he did owe his a present.
Immediately, Chu Hen walked towards the counter in front of him.
He then reached out to grab the blue bracelet, wanting to buy it. He would give it to Ye Yao when she had the chance in the future.
However, at the same time, a delicate, snow-white, jade-like hand stretched out from the other side.
Without knowing it, Chu Hen"s palm and that beautiful jade hand touched at the same time. Chu Hen could not help but be startled, as a trace of a strange feeling was transmitted from the tip of his fingers.
Then, the two withdrew their hands.
Chu Hen turned to look, and the first thing that entered his eyes was a face that was as beautiful as a fairy.
This was an especially beautiful young girl. She wore a long white dress that accentuated her tall and exquisite figure. She had long, slender eyebrows, eyes that were like autumn water, and her small, cherry lips were exceptionally alluring.
In addition to her elegant and refined temperament, she was like a fairy that had just stepped out of the painting realm.
Chu Hen was actually dumbstruck, and couldn"t recover his senses for a while.
The girl"s beautiful eyes slightly moved, she looked at Chu Hen with a strange expression, her red lips slightly parted, her voice light and pleasant, "You have your eyes on this bracelet too?"
"Hmm?" Chu Hen immediately retracted his gaze, "I …"
"Meng Chang, we should go."
Without waiting for Chu Hen to finish speaking, a clear and melodious female voice sounded.
He saw another young woman with delicate features waving towards him.
"Alright, I"ll be there right away." Then, she glanced at the blue bracelet on the counter, and turned around to leave.
"Meng Chang, who is that person?"
"I don"t know!"
"Alright! Hurry up and go back! If Teacher Red Lotus knew that we sneaked out to play today, he would probably scold us again. "
"It can"t be. Teacher Red Lotus is rather gentle!"
"Tsk, that"s for you, but it"s not the same for us."
