RPAGF Chapter 184 Four-tailed Fox
Chapter 184 Four-tailed Fox
After returning to Qionghua City, Lin Xia went directly to the outer courtyard mission hall to hand in the mission.
Coincidentally, the monk from the Mission Hall who received Lin Xia was the same female monk as before. She was a descendant of the Shangguan family, named Shangguan Muyun. Because her aptitude for cultivation was not very good, she was exiled to the outer courtyard by the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Muyun still remembered Lin Xia. After all, Lin Xia had originally accepted the task of collecting Mingze Dream Carp eggs, a task that everyone in the outer courtyard mission hall avoided.
This task is posted every year, but few disciples will accept it. Even Shangguan Muyun has only seen a ruthless person like Lin Xia in the decades he has been in the outer courtyard mission hall, so he was deeply impressed.
Shangguan Muyun was very surprised to see Lin Xia coming to hand in the task. Although the jade bottle containing the Mingze Mengli eggs was only the size of a palm, it contained a lot of secrets and had a huge capacity.
Even though the Mingze Dream Carp is huge in size and the eggs it lays are also very large, and each female Mingze Dream Carp can lay tens of thousands of eggs at a time, it still takes a lot of time to fill a jade bottle. The eggs laid by a female Mingze Dream Carp are far from enough.
Besides, Mingze Mengli is a fifth-level monster and is not easy to deal with.
It was precisely because they knew how demanding this task was that no disciple was willing to take it.
However, despite being surprised, Shangguan Muyun still checked it according to the procedure and distributed the spirit stones obtained from this task to Lin Xia.
At the same time, the ten points for this mission were also added to Lin Xia’s ID card.
Seeing Shangguan Muyun marking the points, Lin Xia was a little surprised. She didn't know about this before.
Shangguan Muyun understood the surprise in Lin Xia's eyes and kindly asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, don't you know about the points?"
Lin Xia nodded and asked humbly, "I really don't know. I'm a new disciple who just entered the outer courtyard a few days ago. I still have only a vague understanding of many things. I hope you can help me understand. What are these points used for?"
Shangguan Muyun nodded in understanding, "So that's how it is." That's not surprising, no wonder the female cultivator in front of him would take on the task of collecting Mingze Dream Carp eggs.
There were not many disciples coming to the outer courtyard mission hall to hand over their tasks at this time, so Shangguan Muyun couldn't help but chat with Lin Xia for a few more words.
From Shangguan Muyun, Lin Xia learned that the points earned from completing tasks were very important. They could be used to get discounts in any store run by the Shangguan family in Qionghua City or even the entire Tianyan Continent. In short, they could be used as spirit stone flowers.
In addition, the most important thing is that with these points, you can go to the Shangguan family's library to exchange them for cultivation techniques, formation secrets, and some cultivation notes left by predecessors.
Not only that, you can also go to the Shangguan family's treasure pavilion to exchange for precious elixirs, talismans, and various magic weapons.
Of course, these things are very expensive and require a lot of points. Disciples need to accumulate them for a long time before they have the chance to redeem them.
Despite this, the disciples are still very keen on accumulating points. After all, the things that can appear in the Shangguan family's library and treasure pavilion are all very precious. Many things cannot be bought outside even with a lot of spirit stones. However, the disciples who enter the Shangguan family can exchange them without spending a single spirit stone, just with points.
Knowing this, Lin Xia was still very happy. At least being able to enter the library was one step closer to Shangguan Yanxi.
As for what you can redeem with points, it can only be said to be a pleasant surprise.
Although the Shangguan family is divided into outer and inner courtyards, the library and treasure pavilion are open to all disciples. As long as you have enough points, you can enter, regardless of your identity.
In this way, the chance of meeting Shangguan Yanxi is very high.
Lin Xia originally wanted to return to Huanxiju after completing this mission, but after listening to Shangguan Muyun's explanation, she was not in a hurry to leave. She simply continued searching in the task bar, intending to take on a few more tasks.
Shangguan Muyun could see through Lin Xia's plan, but thinking that Lin Xia was a ruthless person who could complete a task that was supposed to take a month in just three days, he didn't say much.
Lin Xia looked for a long time and finally chose a long-term task, which was to help an elder from the outer courtyard of the family take care of the contracted spirit beast who was going on a long trip.
The elder's contracted spirit beast is a four-tailed spirit fox. It has entered its molting period recently, and most of its hair has fallen off, looking very ugly.
This four-tailed fox was extremely fond of beauty. For this reason, it could not eat or drink, and was even unwilling to go out.
The elder originally wanted to put the four-tailed fox into the spirit beast bag and carry it with him, but the four-tailed fox was very delicate and didn't want to go into the spirit beast bag.
How to say it, the contracted spirit beast has such a temperament, most likely because it was spoiled by the owner. The elder dotes on his contracted spirit beast very much and doesn't want it to suffer any grievances, so he takes care of it himself.
There was no other choice but to post a task in the outer courtyard's task hall, hoping to find a disciple to help take care of the contracted spirit beast for a period of time.
Seeing that Lin Xia was going to take this task, Shangguan Muyun was a little surprised. She thought that a ruthless person like Lin Xia would not have the patience to take care of a spirit beast, especially a spirit beast with such a proud personality.
However, this task is not so easy to take on. If you want to take on this task, you still need to pass the interview with the elder. To be precise, you need to get the approval of the four-tailed fox.
Otherwise, there are already many servants in the elder's courtyard, so why bother issuing tasks?
When issuing the task, the elder, Shangguan Hong from the outer courtyard, left his contact information. Not long after Shangguan Muyun passed the message on, he rushed over in a hurry.
From a distance, a deep voice could be heard, "Which disciple will take on the task of taking care of Ling'er?"
Then, a middle-aged male cultivator who looked very rough appeared in front of Lin Xia and Shangguan Muyun. Shangguan Muyun and Lin Xia hurriedly saluted respectfully.
Shangguan Hong waved his hand, squinting his eyes as he looked Lin Xia up and down. Just when Lin Xia thought there was no hope for her, he spoke up, "Have you ever raised a spirit beast?"
Lin Xia nodded quickly, "Yes, I have raised some. I also have several contracted spirit beasts."
"How many?!" Shangguan Hong seemed a little surprised. Without waiting for Lin Xia to answer, he continued, "Come with me. Whether you want to use them depends on Ling'er's opinion."
Shangguan Hong and Lin Xia walked quickly, seemingly in a hurry, and finally arrived at a yard.
When Lin Xia saw the four-tailed fox, she finally understood why the four-tailed fox was unwilling to go out.
Because the four-tailed fox named Ling'er had lost almost half of its hair, even revealing its pink flesh. It looked really funny, ugly, and a little pitiful.
