[Chapter 918: Thirty Thousand Spiritual Stones Not Even One Less]
Yang Yiyu went out and found two apprentices. The whole Yunmen became lively. A meeting was held to welcome Dugu Hui and Wu Jian home. A ceremony was also held for Old Mengtou and Zhou Feiyan to join Yunmen.
Of course, Xia Lu, Yang Yiyu’s friend, also volunteered to join Yunmen and was named Yunmen Elder by Yang Yiyu.
This is the second elder of Yunmen. The first elder was the old man who was the wine fairy back then. Unfortunately, there is no news about the old man until now.
Yang Yiyu set himself a few things that must be done.
After solving the problem of repairing the formation, he left Xishanzhou to look for Bu Qingmei who was captured by the Great Demon and Zhang Qian, and the people of the old man who was the wine fairy. He also had to go to Sanxiu City to find the little monk and Zhuge brothers. Of course, these things can be done together. The
second thing is to go to the Great Wilderness to see Hou Doudou, and also to find Diao’er and Xiao Fenghuang.
Finally, he had to go to the Ice and Snow Palace to complete the things that Sikong Yuan’s soul entrusted to him back then…
These things must be done one by one.
But now, Yang Yiyu had to go to the Adventure Hall first. He had to take Cao Shangfei’s head to hand in the task, and also go to the map of the entire Xishanzhou. After that, he had to let the disciples of Yunmen go out for activities and training. Otherwise, it would not be good for cultivation if they always stayed in the southern restricted area.
When he went to the Adventure King City, Yang Yiyu still used the faceless puppet.
When he came to the map area of the Adventure Hall, he waved his hand and took out Cao Shangfei’s head in the eyes of the old man in charge. He looked at him with a smile and said, “Master, the task is completed.”
“You…you you you…” The old man in charge looked at Yang Yiyu with wide eyes. Judging from the aura Yang Yiyu showed, he was at most a late-stage out-of-body realm cultivator, but the intelligence that the old man in charge knew about the bandit Cao Shangfei was also a late-stage out-of-body realm cultivator.
Even if they were fighting on equal terms, Yang Yiyu could not possibly be the opponent of the fierce bandit Cao Shangfei, not to mention that there was a quicksand whirlpool on the way to Cao Shangfei’s lair, and there were also 800 bandits in the Quicksand Valley. It only
took Yang Yiyu three days to bring back Cao Shangfei’s head? The six-month deadline was only three days, how the hell did he do it?
The old man in charge who didn’t believe it even found someone to verify that it was the fierce bandit Cao Shangfei’s head.
The old man in charge wailed in his heart: “This is a fierce bandit. Cao Shangfei has been in Xishanzhou for more than a hundred years. Countless adventurers have died in Cao Shangfei’s hands. The Adventure Hall has sent people to encircle and suppress Cao Shangfei several times, but they all suffered heavy losses. I didn’t expect Yang Yiyu to really do it.
“What’s the matter, my lord, I got Cao Shangfei’s head back for you, is it time to fulfill the contract?” Yang Yiyu said with a smile.
“Ah… yes, yes, contract, contract, I’ll do it right away. “The old man in charge laughed and took out the contract signed with Yang Yiyu and shone it at the contract monument.
Suddenly, the contract monument shone brightly, and a line of words appeared: Adventurer Wumian completed the top-grade contract of Class D and killed the bandit Cao Shangfei. The task reward is a top-grade map of Xishanzhou.” At that
moment, the whole adventure hall exploded with discussions.
“The Adventurer’s Faceless? Who is Faceless?”
“Hiss~ Wow, Faceless is so awesome, he actually killed the bandit Cao Shangfei~”
“But I heard that the bandit Cao Shangfei is a cultivator in the late Out-of-Body Realm, and there is a Quicksand Whirlpool Formation in his lair. It is rumored that even the strong men in the Spiritual Severing Realm dare not easily enter the Quicksand Whirlpool. What’s more, everyone knows that the bandit Cao Shangfei has 800 bandits under his command. Who is this Faceless?”
“If you ask me, it is possible that Cao Shangfei has already reached the Out-of-Body Realm Great Perfection. A hundred years ago, Cao Shangfei was in the late Out-of-Body Realm. It is very likely that he has reached the Great Perfection of the Out-of-Body Realm in the past hundred years.”
“That’s right, this bandit Cao Shangfei didn’t kill or rob the Adventurer. There are at least 800 Adventurers who have died at his hands, if not a thousand.”
“Yeah, it’s not easy for Wumian to kill the bandit Cao Shangfei. I really envy Wumian. All the adventurers who have robbed and killed Cao Shangfei have offered a bounty on Cao Shangfei. Over the past hundreds of years, the bounty on Cao Shangfei has reached 100,000 spirit stones. Now Wumian has made a fortune~”
“…”
One after another discussions reached Yang Yiyu’s ears, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In the back hall of the map area, he was invited by the person in charge to sit up and drink tea.
The old man in charge brought a palm-sized brocade box and placed it in front of Yang Yiyu, saying kindly: “Wumian, this is the most detailed map of the entire Xishan Continent. Keep it in it.”
Yang Yiyu was not polite either. He took the brocade box from him and opened it. It was a high-level jade slip. He probed his spiritual sense into it and saw that it was indeed a map of the entire Xishan Continent. It was more detailed than he had imagined. He muttered to himself: “This deal is worth it.”
Then Yang Yiyu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He looked at the old man in charge with a smile and said: “Master, do you have anything else you haven’t given me?”
The old man in charge twitched his mouth and smiled quickly: “Yes, yes, according to the bounty offered by the Adventure Hall, the bandit Cao Shangfei has a bounty of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. After deducting 30% of the cost of the Adventure Hall, I still need 70,000 spirit stones. Here, here are 70,000 spirit stones.”
As he spoke, the old man in charge waved his hand and a storage bag appeared in front of Yang Yiyu.
Yang Yiyu smiled and scanned the inside with his spiritual sense. It was indeed 70,000 spirit stones. It was an unexpected surprise anyway, so he put it away without hesitation.
But Yang Yiyu still squinted his eyes and said, “Master, have you forgotten something?”
At this time, the old man in charge’s eyes flickered, but his heart was beating. He naturally knew what Yang Yiyu was talking about, but he couldn’t say no now. He
could only pretend to be stupid and said, “No, the map and the bounty spirit stones are all given to you. If you check if the number is wrong, I can make it up to you.”
“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. I’m talking about the contract. Do I need to remind you, Master?” Yang Yiyu said with a smile.
At this time the old man in charge knew he couldn’t pretend anymore, so he could only smile and said: “Well, brother Wumian, how about this, when you paid the deposit, you didn’t have enough spirit stones, so you mortgaged three Qi Pills as a deposit of ten thousand spirit stones.
I will now return the ten thousand spirit stones to you, and we’ll make up for it, make up for it, haha, people are old and useless, they even forgot about the deposit, blame me, old man, blame me~”
“Master, the contract clearly states that after the task is completed, the mortgaged items must be returned intact. I now ask the master to return my three Qi Pills. Please pay me back quickly, I’m in a hurry.” Yang Yiyu felt that there was something wrong with this old guy from the beginning. He would not forget about the deposit, but he fooled him, so he knew that the deposit or the three Qi Pills were enjoyed by the old man.
Now, Yang Yiyu wants the Qi Pill. This is also the rule of the Adventure Hall. Whatever the adventurer pledged when paying the deposit, he will return it after completing the task. There must be no discount. If he dares to embezzle the adventurer’s pledged things and the Adventure Hall’s high-level officials know about it, the old man in charge will be severely punished.
This is the rule set by the Adventure King, and every person in the Adventure Hall and every adventurer in the world must abide by it. When
the old man in charge heard Yang Yiyu say this, his face turned pale. If Yang Yiyu shouted and the people in the Adventure Hall’s Law Enforcement Hall knew about it, he would be dead.
He said with cold sweat on his forehead: “Brother Wumian, tell me… to be honest, your three Qi Pills are gone and I have taken them. Please spare me a hand to save you. I am willing to pay 15,000 Spirit Stones as compensation. How about that?”
The old man in charge was sweating coldly at the moment. At the beginning, he expected that Yang Yiyu would not be able to complete the task of killing the bandit Cao Shangfei, so after discovering that Yang Yiyu’s three Qi Pills were high-level pills, he couldn’t help but take one, and handed the other two to the family members. Now he couldn’t take out the Qi Pills even if he was beaten to death.
Moreover, Yang Yiyu’s three Qi Pills were high-level pills, and even the alchemists of the Adventure Hall might not be able to make them. If Yang Yiyu refused to let go, he would be taken away by the people of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Adventure Hall, and then he would be dead. He violated the rules set by the Adventure King, and no one could save him.
Yang Yiyun didn’t expect that the old man in charge actually took the pills. It was just three Qi Pills, which he could easily refine. He was angry because the old man in charge had cheated him and said that there were no bandits in the bandit’s den.
In a blink of an eye, the old man offered 15,000 spirit stones as compensation, which was a bit beyond his expectations. In his heart, three Qi Pills were worth 10,000 spirit stones.
He didn’t expect that the old man would offer 15,000. His eyes were full of tears, and he thought to himself: “I am not Yang Yiyun if I don’t kill you at this time.”
Then he narrowed his eyes and stretched out three fingers and said: “Thirty thousand spirit stones less is not acceptable.”
The old man in charge saw the three fingers that Yang Yiyun stretched out, and he was overjoyed. In his eyes, the high-level Qi Pills were not expensive at all. He was afraid that Yang Yiyun would regret it, so he hurriedly said: “Okay, thirty thousand is thirty thousand.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and placed the storage bag containing thirty thousand spirit stones in front of Yang Yiyun.
Now Yang Yiyun was actually depressed. What a mistake. If he had known earlier, he would have ordered more.
