Chapter 48 Mission
However, there are still some benefits that Sun Zecheng has not calculated.
For example, battlefield spoils,
Fight against Tianque Fort, seize the seal and double flying knives, and collect a ransom of 500 yuan;
Fight against Qingxu Sect, seize two green swords, and collect a ransom of 600 yuan;
Fight against Huadaowu, seize Han Tianya's double swords, and collect a ransom of 300 yuan;
Fight against Lingshou Mountain, seize a tiger fork and a tiger shield, collect a ransom of 600 yuan, and give a yellow handkerchief to Nie Ying;
In the battle against the Yanyue Sect, they seized Nangong Wan's imitation Suzaku Ring and Zhao Yufei's flying sword. They collected a ransom of 200 yuan for Zhao Yufei's flying sword, but Nangong Wan did not redeem the Suzaku Ring, a magical weapon. It was not known whether it was because she was too proud to do so or because she felt that she already had a magic weapon, so the magic weapon was actually redundant. Coincidentally, Sun Zecheng gave the Suzaku Ring to Nie Ying. Both of them were of the Fire Bird type, and they fit her magic body very well. Nie Ying liked it very much.
It may look insignificant, but when added up, the spoils from the battlefield amount to 2200 low-level spirit stones, equivalent to 22 mid-level spirit stones, not counting Han Yunzhi's yellow handkerchief and Nangong Wan's imitation Suzaku Ring magic weapon.
Of course, battlefield spoils and sect rewards cannot be mixed together. These are earned by strength. If you lose the battle, not only will you not get any income, but you will also have to pay money to redeem them.
Just as the three-quarters of what Sun Zecheng "robbed" Nie Ying privately cannot be counted as a reward from the sect!
Under normal circumstances, there are very few people like Nie Ying who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the sect. It is more common to see people like Huadaowu Han Tianya and Li Shengnan fighting alone and even selling out their teammates!
Generally speaking, the rewards given by the Yellow Maple Valley to the disciples who contributed were very harsh. For example, if ten spiritual herbs were brought back from the Blood Forbidden Zone, one Foundation Establishment Pill would be awarded, but in fact, ten mature spiritual herbs could be used to refine dozens of Foundation Establishment Pills! The effort and reward were not proportional!
Speaking of this trip to Tianwutai, the biggest gain was the six Taoism Talismans! It would explode when the wearer's life was in danger, and could block the full force of the fake pill! Nie Ying also got six Taoism Talismans, but Sun Zecheng had no intention of "robbing" her of this life-saving thing, even though she was very easy to "rob".
It didn't matter if she took some spirit stones, as they were life-saving items. Sun Zecheng even hoped that she would be stingy and keep them all for herself and not share them with other fellow disciples, especially brother Murong who had the thunder spirit root!
Alas, I am worried about that naive person again. Didn't I already plan to end everything after the trip to Tianwutai? Unfortunately, some people cannot be forgotten just because I want to. This makes Sun Zecheng a little troubled.
Fortunately, the next day, Master Li Huayuan's mission came, so I had something to do without having to worry.
"Zecheng, your master now has a task for you to do. Are you willing?" In the living room of Green Wave Cave, Li Huayuan asked Sun Zecheng with a kind smile on his face.
"Master, please give me your orders. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" How could I say I was unwilling? Besides, Sun Zecheng himself wanted to go out for a walk, so Sun Zecheng simply exaggerated.
Hearing Sun Zecheng's words, Li Huayuan laughed: "Actually, I originally wanted your fourth brother Song Meng to go, but he can't handle it!"
"Zecheng! You have the ability to win the first place in the Tianwutai debate, which is not easy! This really surprised me and your master's wife! I didn't expect that my Li Huayuan's disciples could produce such a powerful person! I heard that you are now well-known in the other six sects! And you can bring back a record-breaking elixir from the Blood Forbidden Land, which shows that you are not only capable but also a lucky person! You have a deep fortune, so, after thinking about it, I decided to let you go, you can do it!"
"Master, just tell me what the mission is." What mission was Li Huayuan beating around the bush for so long? He looked so happy, and it didn't seem like a high-risk mission.
"Don't worry, it's not a dangerous mission." Li Huayuan said with a smile.
Then Li Huayuan explained that it turned out that his precious silver-armored horned python had eaten the inner elixir of the bloodline dragon for more than two years but still had not started to form an elixir. He needed to continue to nourish himself. However, the monsters in the Taiyue Mountains where the Yellow Maple Valley was located had long been wiped out, and the same was true in other places in Yue State. Except for the monsters raised by the major sects, it was almost rare to see them in the wild. Even if there were any, they were mostly first-level monsters and were not very useful. Only in Xizhou, west of the Yellow Maple Valley, there was a kind of monster sand lizard in the desert, which was a second- or third-level monster. Li Huayuan originally asked Song Meng to go there, but he didn't expect that Song Meng stayed there for several months and didn't catch any!
After all this time, he sent me to find some tonic for his beloved pet, the silver-armored horned python. I used to serve the squirrel rabbit of the master's wife, and now I serve the python of the master. People are not as good as rats and rabbits, and people are not as good as snakes. Fortunately, the master's pet is not a dog, otherwise it would hurt my self-esteem even more if I were not as good as a dog!
Sun Zecheng complained in his heart, but he said something else: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely be able to catch the monster sand lizard to supplement your silver-armored horned python."
Master's silver-armored horned python needs to be nourished, and so does my Taotie treasure chest! After I go out, I'll catch one or two and give them to Master, and the rest can be fed to the treasure chest!
"Then, if you go there, it will be enough if you can catch five or more level 2 monster sand lizards or two or more level 3 monster sand lizards. Alive ones are best, but dead ones are also fine." Li Huayuan said in a relaxed tone. Master, you said it so easily! Fourth Senior Brother Song Meng stayed there for several months and didn't catch any! How come it's my turn, Sun Zecheng, to ask for five level 2 monsters or two level 3 monsters? If it's so easy, why don't you ask Song Meng to continue? Sun Zecheng complained in his heart, but didn't say anything.
"Song Meng can't do it, but Zecheng, you can definitely do it!" Li Huayuan seemed to see through what Sun Zecheng was thinking behind his silence.
"Master has given the order, and I will do my best! However, the monster is so huge that my ten-fold storage bag cannot hold it all." Although he has a high-level storage bag, that bag is specifically for the Taotie treasure chest, and it cannot be mixed with other bags to avoid being exposed! The treasure chest is one of the secrets that Sun Zecheng must not reveal!
"Here's this high-end storage bag for you. It can hold all ten." The request for a bag was naturally met. Li Huayuan handed over a high-end storage bag with a smile.
"Go ask your Senior Brother Song about the situation. He has been there for a few months and has some experience."
"Yes, sir. I'll go find Fourth Brother right away." Sun Zecheng bowed and left.
……
Sun Zecheng walked out of Song Meng's residence. According to Song Meng, sand lizards hide in the endless yellow sand and can camouflage themselves with the environment by changing color, making them extremely difficult to find. And although sand lizards look rough, ugly and ferocious, they are actually very alert and timid. At the slightest movement, their reaction is not to attack but to escape. They escape very quickly and are good at burrowing underground, so Song Meng could not catch them even if he occasionally found them.
After hearing what Song Meng said, this mission was extremely safe, the only difficulty was that it was difficult to detect and kill.
"Brother Four, can you please give me a map of the places where you found the sand lizards?"
"Why don't we have a sparring match before you leave, Eighth Junior Brother..." Song Meng's proposal came to an abrupt end because Sun Zecheng stretched out his hand to him without saying a word, asking for spirit stones.
"Boring," Song Meng muttered and handed over the map.
"Goodbye!" Sun Zecheng took the map handed over by Song Meng and said goodbye. Really! Who would fight you if you don't have money!
