Inside the room, Xiang Tian behaved with great caution. "Young Master, may I ask why you kept me behind? Whatever you need done, I will do everything in my power to accomplish it."
"It isn't anything difficult. It'll certainly be easier than hauling ore. You're young and full of vigor—make a trip to Wudong Temple, deliver this item to the person inside, and bring him back while you're at it."
As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant containing sealed information that could only be deciphered through special means.
Wudong Temple was said to be a temple that had fallen into ruin countless years ago, an exceedingly sinister place. Rumor had it that unclean things dwelled within; anyone with even slightly insufficient cultivation who passed nearby would fall seriously ill.
"I know this won't be good for you, but once it's done, you'll get one hundred thousand Sky Crystals. That's enough for you to haul Wind Spirit Ore here for half a year!"
The young master of the Xiao Family smiled and extended his hand toward Xiang Tian, the lustrous white jade pendant resting in his palm.
Xiang Tian accepted the jade pendant and looked solemnly at the youth. "Rest assured, Young Master. I'll head to Wudong Temple at once!"
With that, he left the thatched hut directly. The Xiao Family youth stood inside and nodded in satisfaction. Before long, the Xiao Family would become the foremost clan of the Eightfold Heaven!
Wudong Temple was over two hundred kilometers from Azure Turning Lake, but to a cultivator, that distance was nothing at all.
Along the way, Xiang Tian was extremely curious about the jade pendant in his hand, but he remained cautious and did not try to forcefully break its restriction. That Xiao Family brat might sense it. Once
