Chapter Forty-Eight: Flying Star Tower
Yongning City. This site
Yongning City is one of the twelve major cities of the Sword Domain, and it is also the closest city to the Sword Sect Mountain Gate, and there is no doubt that it is located in the Grade A Sect Domain.
Mo Tianwei walked on the street, looking left and right, which was a good interpretation of what it means to have never seen the world.
Yongning City is far larger than Changyun Town, and the flow of people here is by no means comparable to a small town, not only the people in the Sword Domain, but also people from other parts of the Western Regions and the three major regions in the Northeast and Central Regions have people staying here, even the infamous Demon Cultivators of the Southern Regions are no exception - of course, the Demon Cultivators must be hidden and their identities must not be revealed, otherwise they will be torn to pieces in minutes.
After leaving the Sword Sect, Mo Tianwei did not settle down in Changyun Town, because there were too many disciples of the Sword Sect there, and she was afraid of being recognized, so she came to Yongning City directly by cloud boat.
For this, she paid a lot of spirit stones.
That's right, Yunzhou burns spirit stones, it's okay to use it for short distances, but it's too cost-effective to travel long distances, even a little tyrant like Mo Tianwei who just got a lot of meeting gifts can't afford to burn it, and he plans to hurry slowly after that.
At this time, Mo Tianwei hoped that he had already built a foundation, because the foundation building monk could resist the sword, which was to burn spiritual power, it didn't cost money, and it was very cool.
"Those people really don't know the hearts of good people!" Mo Tian sighed slightly, "Next time there is a chance, we must let them see what a real provocation is." β
That's right, Mo Tianwei didn't think there was anything wrong with the sword ghost he set.
Bad attitude? That's coldness!
That's humility!
When you fight, shout the name of the move? That's the release of water!
In the end, the sword intent was too ruthless?
Well...... Mo Tianwei said that he was a very serious sword cultivator, and since he had used his sword intent, he would never think about the next move, of course, he had to kill with one blow!
After thinking about it carefully, Mo Tianwei convinced himself, is these people too visionary and too fragile, what does it have to do with him?
After figuring it out, Mo Tianwei's mood also became much better, she walked through the crowd, bought some standing pills and talismans directly in the Ruyi Treasure Building, and went out towards her destination.
"The price of the pills and talismans here is more than one percent more expensive than that of the sect," she touched her Qiankun bag, feeling a little distressed, "It's all to blame on those thugs! β
Yes, Mo Tianwei, who spent an extra amount of spirit stones, was not thinking about how to escape the pursuit of those fellow disciples at this time, but was evil to the guts, and was ready to go back and beat people after this mission was over.
Mo Tianwei: Diligence and thrift have been the traditional virtues of the flower-growing nation since ancient times.
Although she has found a good name for her planned actions, none of this can hide her Grandet's nature.
But none of this mattered, Mo Tian brushed away the distracting thoughts in his heart, stopped, and looked up at the signboard of this shop, the Flying Star Building.
Flying Star Building, in Mo Tianwei's understanding, is the mercenary union in Western Fantasy, where you can register, and then take the task with the certificate, and receive the reward after the task is completed, and improve the star rating.
When he first learned about the business of Feixinglou, the first thought that rose in Mo Tianwei's heart was - yes, this is very online games, this is very Western fantasy.
You don't have to guess to know that the backer behind the Flying Star Tower is the Central Regions Scattered Cultivation Alliance.
Loose cultivation is more free and loose, and he doesn't want to be restricted, so there are basically no rules in Feixing Tower, only a few detailed rules.
Mo Tianwei walked into the Flying Star Tower, there were still a lot of people inside, after all, this was Yongning City, although it was the territory of the Sword Sect, but the number of scattered cultivators was still the largest.
There are no beautiful nuns here as waitresses, and when you enter the door, you can see a large screen directly opposite with the rules of the Flying Star Tower written on it, which are all for first-time visitors, and they are familiar with it after a few visits.
When Mo Tianwei stood in front of the screen and read the regulations carefully, the people who surrounded the screen just glanced at her and knew that she was a rookie.
After Mo Tianwei finished reading, he bypassed the screen, and then officially entered the Flying Star Building.
According to the guide at the door, Mo Tianwei did not go upstairs, and walked directly to the right side of the crowded area.
The first layer is mainly responsible for two businesses, one is registration, and the other is cancellation.
Feixinglou is a very loose alliance, becoming a member of it will not violate the rules of the sect family, many monks are happy to have an identity here, after all, Feixinglou's business covers the entire Canglan realm, and it can provide a lot of convenience in many cases.
Therefore, generally speaking, there is only registration, and there is rarely cancellation.
The first time Mo Tianwei came, of course, he went to register.
It's also very easy to register, just ask the working monk to check the practice and record a name β or code name.
And even if it is these two pieces of information, no one will verify it at all, it is really just a simple record, after all, this is the power of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and there are many monks who do not want to disclose their names and appearances in the Scattered Cultivation.
Mo Tianwei paid the registration fee for five lower-grade spirit stones, and said, "Lone Star, the seventh layer of qi refining." β
- That's right, Mo Tianwei also pretended to be mysterious, did not reveal his name, but just reported a code name.
She wanted to reach out and touch her face, but in the end she held back, and thought in a good mood: "If it weren't for the fear of being recognized by the same door, I would have changed my face deliberately, and now it would be a little troublesome." β
After all, Mo Tianwei had forgotten to cover up one or two before, and he could only say that he was still too young.
The working monk glanced at her, measured her cultivation, and said nothing, and was alone behind the high counter, not knowing what to do, and it took about a quarter of an hour to take out a small black iron token.
He handed the token to Mo Tianwei: "Lone Star, put away the token, this will be your credential in the Flying Star Building in the future." β
"Note that tokens cannot be lost, cannot be replaced, and once lost, you will have to start from scratch. The breath of the token is the same as your own, and others will not be able to use any of the functions of the token if they get it. β
After reminding him, he asked, "Are there any more questions?"
Mo Tianwei was very curious about what kind of black technology was used, and it was actually bound to a real person, but she also knew that this was the secret of Feixing Tower, so she didn't ask anything, shook her head, and left the counter.
The so-called no rank and no distinction, the level of the Flying Star Order is divided into seven levels - Mo Tianwei is very dissatisfied, she thinks that it should be set to nine levels, after all, the refining alchemy formation runes are divided into nine grades, and suddenly an unsociable one comes out, and it is easy to force obsessive-compulsive disorder to death.
But Feixinglou said that they would not carry this pot, in short, it was seven levels, one star to seven stars, and one star was the lowest.
The token in Mo Tianwei's hand is naturally the lowest-level one-star token.
She reached out and touched the lone golden star on the Flying Star Order, and thought, "I wonder if I can ask them to look like a five-star red flag when I reach level five." β
She is still very patriotic.
Of course, no one in the current world cares whether she loves the country or not, and Mo Tianwei also collected these messy thoughts and walked towards the second floor.
The Flying Star Building is nine floors high, and the second to eighth floors receive the holders of the Flying Star Order from one star to seven stars respectively, and few people go up to the ninth floor, I don't know what the name is-Mo Tianwei thinks that it should be the living room of the landlord, and it is written like this.
"Speaking of which, since cultivating the 'Heartless Heavenly Book', I often have a lot of strange thoughts, is this the sequelae of the exercises?"
Mo Tianwei thought about it while going upstairs, her face was a little more worried - she really didn't want to be like Shizun, it was too damaging to her image as a male god.
Of course, Mo Tianwei came to the second floor not to drink tea and eat snacks, but to take on a task.
Before in the Sword Sect, Mo Tianwei received a task from the B-level Sect, the mission location was in Anguo, and it was already on the edge of the B-level Sect, which was very far away from the Sword Sect......
Mo Tianwei touched the Qiankun bag and dispelled this evil thought.
Therefore, Mo Tianwei, who neither wanted to take the No. 11 bus nor drive a car to travel, chose a method that many poor monks usually choose.
She swept the floating shadows in mid-air, quickly browsed, and after some screening, selected a few tasks, and after a comprehensive comparison, it was finally finalized.
Mo Tianwei walked up to the working monk and said, "I took the task number 23,682. β
As he spoke, he handed her the Flying Star Order.
The female cultivator didn't glance at her at all, this work is very busy, okay, she quickly carried out some operations, and then returned the Flying Star Order to Mo Tianwei, and at the same time took out a jade plate engraved with an emblem, "Please put away your Flying Star Order, and gather in the courtyard of Bihai Pavilion No. 14 in three days, and if you don't wait for time, it will be counted as a mission failure." β
Mo Tianwei nodded, although the nun didn't say the punishment for failing the mission, but she knew that failure was the deduction of star points - star points were the meaning of points.
Although Mo Tianwei does not have star points at present, the Flying Star Order can not care about these, and it can be deducted as negative anyway.
Mo Tianwei's method did not have any new ideas, that is, to take on an escort mission from Yongning City to Qiyu City.
Qiyu City is the closest city to Anguo, although it is not ranked among the cities of the Sword Domain, but being able to build a city already shows its strength.
This escort mission is not introduced in detail, after all, it is going to be escorted, there must be enemies, and some important information cannot be leaked casually, Feixinglou has many people, and no one will rest assured.
The task is to participate in escorting a caravan to Qiyu City safely, and the task reward is determined according to the performance in the process of repairing and the mission, with a deposit of 200 spirit stones in advance, providing travel tools, including food and accommodation, five insurances and one housing fund...... Oh, this one doesn't.
This task employs a total of thirty monks above the fifth level of Qi refining, after Mo Tianwei receives the task, she can know the progress of the task through the Flying Star Order, she is the twenty-first person to take the task, and there are still nine people left to be able to make it up.
But whether it is made up or not, the deadline is three days later.
Mo Tianwei walked out of the Flying Star Building and chose a home-class inn to stay in.
Now that he was only waiting for three days to gather, Mo Tianwei closed the door, set up a formation, and began to regulate his breath.
ββββββββββββI'm a featureless Flying Star Orderβββββββββββββ
Bihai Pavilion, the fourteenth courtyard of the word "ground".
Luo Hailou sat on the Taishi chair, with a little melancholy on his face, silently looking at the scenery outside the window, without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.
Luo Hailou is the chief steward of a small family in Qiyu City, and the reason why he came to Yongning City so far this time is that in addition to purchasing a batch of critical resources for the family, there is also a secret mission, that is, to take the grandson of the head of the Luo family to the Luo family.
The head of the Luo family is a Jindan real person, so the Luo family has a bit of status, and it can barely be regarded as a third-rate family in Qiyu City - although it is a little cold, it is much better than some small sects with two or three big cats and kittens.
Luo Zhenren traveled all over the world in his early years, came to take a small city near Yongning City, met a close friend, and the two families made a baby kiss.
Later, the children of the two families really fell in love and got married, and after more than ten years of marriage, they had a son.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, Luo Zhenren's friend fell, and his friend's son and daughter-in-law also died in an experience, and there was only one child left in their vein.
Luo Zhenren was worried that someone would bully his little grandson, so he wanted to take his grandson back in person.
However, when he learned the news of the death of his daughter and son-in-law, he was so sad that he had internal injuries and needed to retreat for a while, so he ordered the family to arrange this matter.
Luo Hailou is the person in charge of this matter, he is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, and he is also a high authority in the Luo family, and with Luo Zhenren behind him, he quickly took the child out of the family.
However, the process was not smooth, because Luo Zhenren's friend was also a Jindan Zhenren, and after he and his son and daughter-in-law all fell, all the resources went to the children, so many people in the family secretly coveted that resource and wanted to pocket it through various means.
But Luo Hailou intervened, and the dreams of those who were not right-minded were in vain, so naturally there were many obstacles.
But in the end, Luo Hailou still succeeded.
Now that he is about to return, Luo Hailou is still not at ease, he is afraid that the people in the family will have any means, so he is very vigilant, and in the case of his own escort team, he also issued another mission in the Flying Star Tower, recruited manpower, and prepared to deal with possible dangers.
Although there are some burning spirit stones, but if you are prepared, the head of the family will definitely not object.
Even after all these preparations, he still felt a little uncertain in his heart, so he felt very worried.
Suddenly, a seven or eight-year-old boy walked out of the inner room, he was wearing a plain white filial piety dress, and there was no smile on Yuxue's cute little face.
He walked up to Luo Hailou and whispered, "Luo is in charge." β
Luo Hailou came back to his senses, reached out to pick up the boy, and touched his little head to appease, but he couldn't help but feel even more disgusted with the Liu family in his heart.
The Liu family is the family where Luo Zhenren's friend belongs.
The little master is still so young, he just lost his relatives, and he was bullied by that group of jackals, and now he still doesn't even dare to come out, it's so pitiful, and I don't know how sad the head of the family is when he sees it!
The boy buried his head on Luo Hailou's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Does the grandfather like Arrow?"
"Of course, the head of the family has been looking forward to seeing the little master as soon as possible!"
"Really?"
"The little master is so cute, everyone must like you very much. β
Liu Churui pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "They don't like me, saying that I am a lone star." β
Luo Hailou's heart is even hotter, how can the Liu family speak, it is really hateful to hurt a child like this!
"No, they are jealous that the little master is too cute. β
Liu Churui raised his head, a pair of big eyes flickered, and there was a hint of red on his face, but the corners of his lips couldn't help but bend slightly.
It seems that although he is a little shy, he still likes what Luo Hailou just said.
The two talked for a while, and a young man in his twenties walked in from outside, although he was not particularly handsome, but he had a calm air of his own, and seemed quite gentle.
When Liu Churui saw this person, he smiled and shouted, "Sixth cousin!"
Luo Mincang gently touched his head, said "um", picked the person up from Luo Hailou's arms, and sat down on the side.
Luo Hailou asked, "How's it going?"
"Feixinglou said that the mission has been distributed, and someone will come early tomorrow morning. Luo Mincang told Luo Hailou the news he had just gotten from Feixing Tower.
"That's good, I hope that there will not be too few people coming, and the strength will not be too weak. β
The two discussed the route of the return trip for a while, until Liu Churui was already drowsy, then they closed their mouths, and after sending him to the bed in the inner room to settle down, they also went to do other things.
Soon, the next day arrived.
Luo Hailou ordered his men to wait at the door, but there will be a lot of people today, these people are all hired by them to protect the caravan, they must be cautious.
Soon after, several monks came together, and it seemed that they were in a group.
Because the hall is small, the waiter takes people to sit in the courtyard and brings tea and snacks, which is also considered to be dedicated.
Luo Hailou didn't go out, but he was a foundation building monk, and he had already sensed it when people came, but this time it was only five monks with six levels of qi refining, which really made him a little disappointed.
He wanted to recruit a foundation monk, but it was difficult, after all, they didn't give much of a deposit, and they could roughly calculate how much the final reward of the task was, and it was difficult to recruit a foundation monk at this price.
But he wasn't discouraged, after all, this was just the beginning, and there were twenty-five more to come.
One after another, people continued to come to the courtyard with jade plates and flying star orders, including monks who had just reached the fifth layer of qi refining, and monks who had almost built a foundation at the ninth level of qi refining, of course, the most were still at the sixth or seventh level of qi refining.
Gradually, the people were about to arrive, and there was not much time left, Luo Hailou regretted in his heart, and there was really no foundation monk.
Mo Tianwei arrived in the countdown, because she had changed her face and was dressed in a low-key manner, but not many people noticed her, after all, everyone's attention was now on the next task.
"It's been a moment. β
Luo Hailou got up, straightened his clothes, walked out of the hall door, glanced at it, and there were twenty-nine of them, only one of them didn't come, okay, within his acceptability.
The people who were still whispering saw that the person in charge was coming, and they immediately silenced, not only because they wanted to sell the face of the master's family, but also because Luo Hailou was in the middle stage of foundation building, and his cultivation was far superior to them, so he had to act cautiously.
But they are not afraid, because this is in Yongning City, unless they don't want to live, no one dares to use force.
Luo Hailou was about to speak, when suddenly the door of the small courtyard opened again, accompanied by a hearty laughter: "Luo Daoyou, do you remember Zhang?"
Hearing this, Luo Hailou's eyes lit up, and when he saw the familiar figure, he couldn't help but show a smile and stepped forward: "Why is Zhang Daoyou here too?"
