"Brother Yuan is here."
An old man in a white robe was delighted to see the man in white. He smiled and said, "I knew you would be interested."
The man in white clasped his hands and said, "Master Xiao has a mission. I dare not not come."
The old man in white robe looked proud. He stroked his beard and said, "It seems that I am still a little shy."
The other twenty or so people were calm. They looked at the man in white robe and Yang Qingxuan for a while, but did not pay much attention.
After all, those who came to take this mission were at least in the late stage of the Origin Realm. There were seven or eight people in the pavilion who were in the Great Perfection of the Origin Realm.
The old man in white robe also looked at Yang Qingxuan. Seeing that he was in the late stage of the Origin Realm and was brought here by the man in white robe, he did not ask much.
Yang Qingxuan said in a low voice, "So your name is Brother Yuan."
The man in white robe snorted and asked, "What is your name?"
Yang Qingxuan smiled and said, "Yang Qingxuan."
The two of them had a strange feeling. They had known each other for so long and had gone through fire and water together. But they had just learned each other's names.
"Master Xiao, almost everyone is here. It is time to announce the mission."
A middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and a bright light shot out. It gave people a feeling of awakening hibernation, and the pavilion instantly quieted down.
Yang Qingxuan secretly observed this middle-aged man. He had a leopard head and round eyes. He was bold and powerful. His aura gave people a feeling that he was unrivaled. He was not as simple as a normal Great Perfection of the Origin Realm.
Master Xiao laughed and said, "Haha, Master Zhuge Shi can't wait."
The middle-aged man looked cold, "I don't know how many people Master Xiao has gathered. But my time is precious. I don't want to waste it on those useless people."
"Lord Zhuge Shi is right. Those who haven't come yet, most likely won't come either."
A man who looked like a scholar and had two white jade rings and pearls on his temples also had a lot of opinions.
Master Xiao comforted everyone, "Okay, okay. We won't wait."
He ordered the waiter to close the door and stand guard outside, not allowing anyone to enter.
The loft immediately quieted down. Everyone's gaze fell on Eldest Brother Xiao, waiting for him to issue the mission.
Xiao Dali thought for a moment before saying, "Some time ago, someone discovered a Desolate race ruin in the fourth zone."
Yang Qingxuan was startled and thought to himself, "What a coincidence, right? Could this be the news I heard? "
Xiao Da purposely paused for a moment. His gaze swept across everyone's expressions intentionally or unintentionally. After taking in everyone's expressions, he continued, "This ruin is very hidden. There are some very interesting things inside. However, our people did not stay for long before they encountered a powerful desolate beast and were forced to retreat. "
Zhuge Shi interjected, "I understand now. Eldest Xiao's intention is to gather us to clear the area and kill those desolate beasts, right?"
Xiao Da squinted his eyes and cupped his fists. He smiled and said, "Master Zhuge Shi has guessed correctly again."
Inside the pavilion, everyone began to discuss in low voices, considering the feasibility of this mission.
"After taking on your missions for so many years, I naturally understand what you mean."
Zhuge Shi thought for a moment and said, "How strong are those desolate beasts? Eldest Xiao, how many people do you think can complete the mission, and how much is the reward?"
Xiao Da twirled his beard and pondered for a moment. He counted carefully, "Ten people … Fifteen people … Twenty people. About twenty people at the perfection stage of the Martial Origin realm can safely complete this mission. However, the mission is different from what Master Zhuge Shi said. Other than clearing the desolate beasts near the ruin, they also need to guard the ruin for three months, preventing desolate beasts from invading. "
"Three months?"
Zhuge Shi was stunned, "What do we need to study? That's quite a long time. "
The scholarly man with two white jade bangles behind his head interjected, "What about the reward? As long as the reward is sufficient, everything else is negotiable. "
Everyone nodded their heads. They all had the same thoughts.
Eldest Xiao twirled his beard and said with a smile, "When has the Drunken Sky Inn ever mistreated you? Clearing the desolate beasts in the ruin and guarding it for three months without being attacked by desolate beasts, every master at the perfection stage of the Martial Origin realm will be given one million and five hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Every master at the later stage of the Martial Origin realm will be given one million Spirit Stones. What do you think? "
This price was very attractive. Many people were pondering, and some of them were already tempted.
Although Yang Qingxuan and Brother Yuan were tempted, the two of them were somewhat dissatisfied. In terms of strength, they were not below the perfection stage of the Martial Origin realm. However, because of their cultivation level, they had to take five hundred thousand Spirit Stones. This was not a small sum.
Yang Qingxuan was almost set on accepting the mission. After all, he still needed to find the Desolate race's blood essence. He said, "Big Xiao, isn't it a little unfair for someone of your cultivation level to take the spirit stones?"
"Oh?" Eldest Xiao looked over with a smile in his eyes. The rest of the people in the pavilion also turned their gazes over. Most of them were disdainful.
With Yang Qingxuan's age, they even suspected that his cultivation level at the late stage of the Martial Origin realm was fake. Yet, he was still expressing his dissatisfaction.
Brother Yuan also nodded and said, "I also think it is unfair. It should be based on strength, not cultivation level."
Zhuge Shi looked at the two of them contemptuously and snorted. He said, "Speaking of which, it makes sense to split the Spirit Stones according to strength. If not, wouldn't I be taking the same amount as those ordinary people at the perfection stage of the Martial Origin realm? "
He boasted that he was at the peak of the Martial Origin realm, and his strength was stronger than others. Although he disdained Yang Qingxuan and Brother Yuan, he still agreed with their suggestion.
The rest of the people also began to discuss, each with their own ideas.
Eldest Xiao said with a wry smile, "This is making things difficult for me. We can't just have a martial arts competition to determine strength, right?"
The scholar opened a folding fan with a swoosh and fanned it a few times. He said slowly, "I have a feasible idea. When the time comes, we can divide the price into ten high and ten low. Those who think they are capable can challenge those who get high. There is no need to divide it according to cultivation level."
Eldest Xiao's eyes brightened. He clapped his hands and said, "This method is wonderful. It can be divided into three levels. I will add three spots of two million and divide the top strong people like Lord Zhuge Shi. Then, seven spots of one million and five hundred thousand, and the rest will be one million."
Once this method was out, no one had any objections. It was completely based on strength. If you were weak and chose the high level, you would definitely be challenged by others.
Yang Qingxuan and Brother Yuan also nodded and did not say anything.
Eldest Xiao cupped his fists and said to the crowd, "Those who are willing to participate, stay. Those who are unwilling can go to the main hall to drink. I will ask the waiter to serve you well. "
Immediately, there was a commotion in the pavilion. Three people cupped their fists and left, leaving 23 people behind.
Eldest Xiao was very satisfied and said, "There are three more people than expected, but I don't mind having more people." He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trust in me. Because this mission will take too long, I will pay you five hundred thousand Spirit Stones in advance."
Immediately, a waiter came in with a tray. On it were more than twenty storage bags.
