Shen Luo took the jade box and opened it. He saw a foot-long piece of red wood lying in the box. The wood grain was delicate and its surface was emitting a flame-like red light. At the same time, a wave of scorching heat assaulted his face.
"Yes, it's Fire Qilin Wood! Thank you very much. "Shen Luo thanked him with a smile.
"You deserve all of this. May I ask where Guest Elder Shen plans to go on a mission? I can recommend one or two on your behalf. "The middle-aged man asked with a smile.
"Not for the time being. I have some other things to take care of." Shen Luo shook his head and said.
Although the ghost-catching mission issued by the government was very rewarding, he didn't lack immortal jade for the time being. Moreover, his cultivation was too low. Even with the Lightning Charm, the risk of carrying out the mission was still not small. It would be better for him to cultivate in seclusion while waiting for Horse-Face to summon him.
According to his speculation, the mission that Horse-Face wanted to do was to exorcise the ghost that the government wanted to exorcise. The two didn't conflict.
A trace of disappointment flashed across the middle-aged man's face. He didn't say anything and quickly left.
"The Bai family seems to want us guests to do more missions. It seems that the exorcism mission issued by the government this time is related to something else." Shen Luo returned to the room and secretly guessed.
However, these things didn't have much to do with him. He didn't think much about it. He looked at the jade box in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.
"I have the Fire Qilin Wood as the main material. Next, I need to find a spirit fire that can be compatible with the main material. Then, I can try to refine the Pure Yang Sword Embryo."
It was a pity that the spirit fire was difficult to find. The other materials were also difficult to find. He had asked Shopkeeper Ma to keep an eye out for him. However, there was still no news.
Shen Luo shook his head and put the jade box in the stone box. He planned to continue cultivating.
At this moment, he felt a heat at his waist. He took out an object from his bosom. It was the communication magic card that Horse-Face had given him.
"You're here so soon! It seems that I can't cultivate in peace until the ghost disaster in Jianye is eliminated. "Shen Luo secretly criticized. Then, he carefully looked at the object in his hand.
He saw that the magic card's side had become pitch-black. A line of small white words appeared on it.
Come to Liu Gongqiao as soon as night falls.
"Liu Gongqiao seems to be in the west of the city." Shen Luo's eyes flickered slightly as he muttered to himself.
It was rumored that this bridge had a long history. It was named after Liu Gong, a great scholar of the previous dynasty. Bai Xiaotian had led him to tour around Jianye City before. He had been there before, so he had some impression of it.
"I remember seeing this name on the list." As he thought about it, he got up and went to the accounts room.
At this time, the sun was about to set. Most of the guests who had gone out to carry out the mission had not returned. Only two or three of them were here. As for the others, they were all disciples of the Bai Clan who had come to watch the fun.
Shen Luo came to the front of the crowd and looked at the mission list, quickly browsing through it.
"As expected!"
His gaze stopped at a certain spot on the list. The corresponding mission location was near Liu Gong Qiao. The content was about an abandoned temple near the ancient bridge. At night, ghosts appeared and injured many passersby.
The reward for this mission was as many as thirty celestial jades. It was one of the missions with the heaviest rewards on the list. It seemed that the difficulty was not low.
"It seems to be eighty percent correct. Since the Bai Clan also has this mission, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it." Shen Luo's gaze fell on Liu Gong Qiao's mission and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Did you hear? It is said that more than ten people from the Lin and Du Clans went to do Liu Gong Qiao's mission yesterday. It is said that in just one encounter, a few people died. Although the others escaped, they were seriously injured." Shen Luo was just about to turn around when he heard someone talking.
"Everyone, do you know the details of the fight between the Lin and Du Clans and the ghosts yesterday?" Shen Luo stopped and asked.
"What? You want to do this mission? "A guest next to him raised his eyebrows and asked.
Shen Luo saw that he was unhappy and lost interest. He smiled noncommittally and turned to leave.
"Isn't it just a fluke to complete the mission in Red Leaf Village and think that he is very powerful? He is simply acting recklessly." That person saw him turn and leave and lightly spat and said.
"Sigh, you can't say that. I think he still has some strength."
…
The two or three guest elders started to talk and the onlookers also started to talk. There were more doubts than praise in their words.
Shen Luo heard all kinds of discussions behind him and didn't pay much attention to it. He went straight back to his residence.
It was now close to evening.
He took out the Communication Magic Card and looked at it. After pondering for a moment, he held the magic card and poured his magic power into it. The black magic card didn't respond.
He didn't give up. He used the Nine-Nine Treasure Fusion Technique and tried to refine the card. The black magic card still didn't change.
"It seems that this item needs a special method to open." Shen Luo reluctantly gave up trying and put away the magic card. He then took out all the talismans from the stone box and carefully counted them again.
The ghosts this time were obviously not easy to deal with. Although Horse-face was leading the charge, he had to make sufficient preparations.
Some time ago, he had drawn many small thunder talismans. He used almost half of them in Red Leaf Village. Now, he only had forty or so talismans left. In addition, there were five exorcism talismans and two thunder talismans.
"After this mission is completed, it seems that I have to draw more talismans." Shen Luo secretly thought. He carefully put these talismans in a place where they could be easily reached in his sleeve.
After he left the courtyard, he didn't go through the main door. He jumped over the wall and left the Bai Mansion. He directly rushed to the west of the city and quickly arrived at a small river.
There was a simple stone bridge over the small river. Two rows of tall evergreen trees were planted on both sides of the river bank. Although it was late autumn, the leaves were still dense. It made the ancient bridge look abnormally dark and serene.
There was no moon in the sky today. Because of the ghost invasion, most of the citizens of Black Empress City were currently hiding in their homes. Not even a dog could be seen on the ancient bridge. The night wind blew over the bridge and made a whistling sound. It was truly somewhat terrifying.
He looked around and silently memorized the surroundings. In the end, when he turned back to look at the ancient bridge again, he couldn't help but be shocked. On the ancient bridge, a white figure had appeared at an unknown time.
After Shen Luo saw the appearance of the person who had come, he couldn't help but secretly sigh in relief and complain, "I say, Senior Horse-face, since you've arrived, why didn't you say hello? Appearing and disappearing like a ghost is too frightening."
"Don't talk nonsense. Follow me."
Horse-face said to Shen Luo. He then turned around and walked towards the other side of the ancient bridge.
Shen Luo curled his lips and could only follow.
On the other side of the Willow Bridge, there were no citizens living in the area. It was rather desolate. There was only a dilapidated temple that sat there all by itself. The surrounding area was filled with weeds that were half the height of a person.
Horse-face and Shen Luo crossed the bridge one after another and walked towards the temple.
