Shen Luo saw that her expression didn't seem to be fake and immediately felt that it was a pity.
"If that's the case, then I can only find another way, but I still have to thank Miss Ma." Shen Luo clasped his fist.
Hearing this, Ma Xiuxiu didn't immediately respond to Shen Luo. Instead, she frowned and lowered her head to think about something.
"Miss Ma …"
Shen Luo waved at her. Only then did she come back to her senses and said hesitantly,
"Actually, there is still a way that may make the senior willing to help you refine pills. I wonder if you are willing to try it?"
"What way?" Shen Luo quickly asked.
"Young Master Shen, have you heard of the Underworld Mission?" Ma Xiuxiu asked mysteriously.
"I've heard of it a little, why? The method you mentioned is related to the Underworld Mission? "Shen Luo was slightly stunned and then asked.
"Yes. In order to refine a kind of Underworld Spirit Pill, the senior alchemist has been looking for a kind of spiritual material, the Underworld Crystal, which is a specialty of the Underworld. Unfortunately, this thing is very important to the Underworld and rarely comes out of the world of the living, so he can't find it. If you can get this thing, then the conditions for refining pills will be much easier to discuss. "Ma Xiuxiu nodded.
"The Underworld Crystal … Since it is so precious, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get it, right?" Shen Luo muttered.
Based on his previous few contacts with the Soul Hooking Horse-Face, Shen Luo knew that the things of the Underworld were not so easy to get.
"Of course, but it just so happens that our Chamber of Commerce is planning to take on a Underworld Mission recently. The Underworld Crystal is one of the rewards. If you are willing to go, I can arrange for you to participate in this mission as a member of the Chamber of Commerce." Ma Xiuxiu said.
"But I heard that if you want to take on a Underworld Mission, you have to be at least a Soul Condensation Stage cultivator? I'm afraid my little cultivation is not qualified enough, right? "Shen Luo hesitated.
"That's true, but this mission is a team mission. As long as the leader is at the Soul Condensation Stage, the level of cultivation isn't a problem." Ma Xiuxiu said with a smile.
"Miss Ma, please tell me the details of the mission. I don't want to drag the Chamber of Commerce down if I rush there rashly," Shen Luo cupped his fists and asked with a smile on his face.
"Young Master Shen, don't belittle yourself. Generally speaking, most of the missions of the Hell Palace are related to the extermination of evil spirits. Young Master Shen, you're proficient in the art of magic charms. Moreover, you also have a powerful Thunder Charm with you. So, you're the best candidate to carry out this mission." Ma Xiuxiu waved her hand at Shen Luo and said.
"If that's the case, Miss Ma has already thought things through for me," Shen Luo said with a smile.
"Even so, I still want to remind you that this kind of mission is generally not simple. Especially this time, the reward is so high. I'm afraid that the ghost you want to kill is also not simple. You have to think twice before making a decision. Before tomorrow afternoon, you can give me an answer." Ma Xiuxiu said with a serious expression.
"I'll take this mission." Shen Luo secretly thought for a moment and said.
"This mission is still in half a month. You don't have to be too anxious to make a decision. There's still time." Ma Xiuxiu heard his words and was slightly surprised.
"I've thought about it. I'll take it. Miss Ma has already considered so much for me. If I still hesitate, wouldn't I be letting down Miss Ma's good intentions? "Shen Luo said with a smile.
"Young Master Shen is really courageous. But this time you don't have to worry too much. The leader of this mission is our Chamber of Commerce's Late Soul Condensation Stage. He has already done many missions in the Hell Palace. In these years, he has never tasted defeat. Moreover, the casualty rate of each mission is very low. As long as you do strictly according to what he says, there won't be any problems. In addition, I will ask him to take care of you. "Ma Xiuxiu's eyes flashed with a touch of appreciation and said.
"Thank you." Shen Luo clasped his hands and said.
"Young Master Shen, you don't have to be so polite with me." Ma Xiuxiu smiled.
After that, she said goodbye and left.
When it was close to noon, Shen Luo also left the small courtyard and went to the West City. There, he bought a batch of charms and various spiritual materials for making charms.
He wanted to use this half a month to draw more charms to deal with this Hell Palace mission.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Early in the morning, without waiting for Shen Luo to rush to the Treasure Hall, a carriage arrived outside the small courtyard. It said that it was sent by Ma Xiuxiu to pick him up.
Shen Luo packed up the charms and magic tools. Then, he boarded the carriage and went all the way to the West City.
Along the way, they passed through many streets and markets. The carriage traveled for a long time. When they passed by a tall gate, Shen Luo lifted the curtain of the carriage to take a look. Only then did he realize that they had already arrived at Yongxing Square in the northwest of the city.
"How did we get here?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.
"The meeting place is in the Yongxing Square. Don't worry, we will arrive soon." The coachman explained.
Shen Luo thought that the ghost catching mission would be carried out outside the city. He didn't expect that it would be in the Yongxing Square, which was close to the Imperial City.
Along the road in the North City, the carriage finally stopped after a short time.
Shen Luo jumped down from the carriage and raised his head to look ahead. He saw a magnificent and tall building not far in front of him. In front of it, there were two stone lions as tall as a person. They looked mighty and extraordinary.
"City God Temple …"
Shen Luo looked at the plaque hanging on the lintel of the building. He couldn't help but be surprised.
While he was in doubt, another carriage rushed over from behind. A tall man dressed in short brown clothes came down from the carriage. He carried a huge brass axe on his back. He walked over with big strides.
He walked to the front and looked at Shen Luo who was a head shorter than him. He said in a low muffled voice, "Are you also here to assemble?"
Shen Luo looked at the man and saw that his forehead was wide, the bridge of his nose wasn't high, and his lips were quite thick. He had a simple and honest appearance. He didn't know why he nodded.
"Me too. Let's go together." The tall man waved his hand and walked up the stairs.
Shen Luo hesitated for a moment. Then, he followed him.
"My name is Lu He. What's your name?" The man saw that Shen Luo followed him and asked.
"I'm Shen Luo." Shen Luo cupped his fists and said.
"It seems that this is your first time participating in a mission?" Lu He looked at Shen Luo and asked.
"It's my first time. Please give me some advice," Shen Luo said.
"It's not much advice. It's my third time participating in this mission. Anyway, I'll just follow Senior Hu Yong," Lu He said.
"Senior Hu Yong?" Shen Luo said in surprise.
"Don't you know? The leader of this mission is Senior Hu Yong. You won't lose your life as long as you follow him honestly and listen to his instructions, "Lu He said with a look of conviction.
"Who is this Senior Hu Yong? How can he be so powerful?" Shen Luo asked in a puzzled manner.
"Don't ask so many questions. In short, the most important thing in this mission is not to act smart. Just listen to Senior Hu Yong's instructions," Lu He waved his hand impatiently and said.
As the two of them spoke, they stepped over the threshold one after the other and walked through the gate of the City God Temple.
