Xiao Cheng sat back on the chair, closing his eyes and thinking about the system's new tasks.
Mainly because this new mission is a bit difficult to understand.
Side Quest: Please use the Bitter Gourd Cake provided by the system to let Su Qian eat it (Note: Never let the other person know that you are teasing him)
Quest Reward: A random pastry recipe Quest Failure: Su Qian's favorability towards you has dropped, Inner Academy All staff will treat you as a hostile person, valid forever Quest Time: Valid only today.
When he opened the task list again and saw this task, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he was cursing in his heart.
"Damn system, isn't your mission just to make me commit suicide?"
Think about it, First Elder of this Inner Academy is Bitter Gourd Cake. Although he doesn't know what effect this Bitter Gourd Cake has, it must be both bitter and astringent.
"System, your Bitter Gourd Cake isn't really just made of bitter melon, is it?"
Bitter Gourd Cake is a pastry made by the system through the analysis and integration of an expert's research data. This Bitter Gourd Cake can remove some accumulated toxins or unfavorable substances in the body, and also improve some cultivation, but the main effect is to remove toxins and make the body purer. After listening to the system's words, he also breathed a sigh of relief. It does not have any other unexpected effects.
The last Quest Time is only for today, which means that Great Elder Su Qian of the Inner Academy will come within today. It seems that we can only wait here.
At this time, Old Man Huo came over, seemingly hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Xiao Cheng said helplessly.
"Apprentice, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you hesitating?"
Seeing Xiao Cheng say this, he thought about it and said.
"I suddenly remembered that I still had some unfinished business, so I thought..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Cheng.
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, I understand. You can go about your business."
"Then here..."
"I will go up and help when the time comes."
he said with a smile.
Seeing this, Old Man Huo also nodded and left in a hurry.
At this time, for some reason, an old man suddenly appeared next to Xiao Cheng's car, which almost startled him.
"Old man, who are you? You will scare people to death if you appear suddenly like this, do you know?"
He patted his chest, looking frightened.
However, he soon realized that something was wrong. This old man suddenly appeared here. Why didn't he feel it?
After suddenly reacting, his body immediately tensed up, and he stared at the old man not far away with a solemn expression. Only now did he feel that this old man was not simple.
To be able to appear suddenly and silently means that this old man's cultivation is very strong, ridiculously strong.
At least that's what he thought.
Seeing the young man looking so nervous, the old man smiled at him.
"Haha, you should be Xiao Cheng, I'm not wrong, right?"
Hearing the old man say his name so directly, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise.
"How do you know my name?"
"Haha, I forgot to introduce you. I am First Elder Su Qian from the Inner Academy. You are very good. You actually have the cultivation level of Dou Ling. Not bad."
Obviously this old man is Inner Academy First Elder Su Qian.
And at this moment, he looked at Xiao Cheng as if he were looking at a piece of uncut jade, with eyes full of admiration.
But Xiao Cheng felt a little uncomfortable with the fiery eyes.
This old man is Inner Academy First Elder. Why do I feel that this old man looks at him so strangely.
The strange idea that suddenly appeared made him shiver all over, and he asked quickly.
"Great Elder Su Qian?"
"Yes, I just want to meet you this time. I have no other ideas. You don't have to be so nervous."
Hearing what First Elder said, he felt relieved.
Then he thought of the system's mission, his eyes rolled, and then he said with a smile.
"Great Elder Su Qian, why don't you try the pastries I have here? They taste very good and can improve your cultivation. Do you want to try it?"
He said with a very sincere look.
On the surface, this was indeed the case, but in his heart he was planning to let Su Qian, First Elder, eat the Bitter Gourd Cake provided by the system.
Bitter Gourd Cake has been stored in the personal backpack by the system.
He glanced at the green round cake in his backpack and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Hearing the enthusiasm of the little guy in front of him, he also smiled.
"It's okay, let me see if your pastries are really as magical as what is said in the academy."
In fact, before he found Xiao Cheng, he had already learned about the magical effect of this pastry from many Outer Academy students.
Basically, everyone is full of praise. The only thing that makes them dissatisfied is that the price is really too expensive.
At first they thought it was nothing, but as they bought more times, they realized that the price was really expensive. Adding everything up, it almost caught up with the price of some medicinal materials.
"Okay, please wait a moment and I'll get you some pastries."
So he went to Xiao Yu and took some pastries, only a little bit of each, just to let First Elder taste them one by one, and then he was looking for an opportunity to take out this Bitter Gourd Cake for him to eat, so that it would not appear too abrupt.
I'm so smart.
After Xiao Cheng brought the pastry, he put it on the chair where he was sitting, and then said to Su Qian.
"First Elder, here, this is Peanut Nougat, it's delicious."
Su Qian took the nougat that Xiao Cheng tore open the package and threw it into his mouth.
The aroma of peanuts mixed with a sweetness that I don't know what it is is quite delicious. It tastes good.
The next moment, his eyes widened suddenly, because just now he felt an inexplicable energy entering his body.
The Dou Qi in the body also started to operate involuntarily and began to absorb this energy.
He could feel that his Two-Star Dou Zong cultivation seemed to have increased a bit, which shocked him.
He originally thought that it was a lie that the so-called pastry could improve his cultivation, but after experiencing it himself, he realized that it was only true and had no side effects. This was a bit scary.
Then he ignored Xiao Cheng beside him and came to the edge of the chair. After tasting them one by one, he realized how much of a fool he was.
He alone was shocked by the magical effects of these pastries.
Just now he felt that his cultivation, Spiritual Power, and his understanding and proficiency of his Dou Technique had improved.
He looked at Xiao Cheng in shock and didn't know what to say.
Xiao Cheng saw that First Elder was already shocked, so he knew the time had come.
If you don't change the subject at this time, you will really miss the opportunity.
In Wutan City, in the house rented by Qing Mang, two people were discussing something.
At this moment, a ball of Black Mist suddenly appeared in the room.
A weird and weird laughter came from Black Mist, which looked hoarse and scary, making people feel cold and shuddering all over.
The feeling of Lu Man was the most obvious. She could feel that the group of Black Mist in front of her was terrifying. It seemed that they could be wiped out with just a wave of her hand.
"Jiejie, you are Heavenly Snake Mansion's people. Don't be so nervous. I'm not here to kill you. I'm just here to remind you that Heavenly Snake Mansion is in charge. Ruyi Zhai is not something you can covet. It belongs to us Soul Hall."
"Soul Hall? Who are you?"
Lu Man asked in a deep voice.
"You are not qualified to know, Jie Jie, okay, I have said everything that needs to be said. I hope you can be self-aware, otherwise, you won't be able to persuade me with such kind words next time."
Black Mist paused and said again.
"This is just a small warning"
As the words fell, Black Mist disappeared.
Qing Mang and Lu Man looked at each other with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Lu Man, it seems you have to go back and tell Mr. Bai Ya what happened just now."
She nodded and said.
"Soul Hall? What kind of force is this? I'm going back now. Don't go out yet. Just stay here and wait for me to come back."
He nodded and watched Lu Man disappear into the room.
Then he took a long breath and looked out the window, but his heart was extremely heavy. It seemed that he felt a little uneasy about Black Mist who had just appeared inexplicably.
