Enter Logistics Hall, Jiang Ping'an walks to the task wall and looks for the task he wants.

I saw a lot of tasks on the task wall, but they were basically routine tasks, tasks that required selling time, energy, spiritual power, etc.

There are only two acquisition missions in which spiritual stones are exchanged for good deeds in disguise:

Acquisition task: Submit one hundred Blood-Devouring Vine to the warehouse every month for half a year, and you can get three thousand good deeds.

Acquisition task: Submit three hundred Thousand-Refined Flood Dragon Pattern Wood Rod to the warehouse before the end of June, and you will receive five thousand good deeds.

"Senior brother, please come." Jiang Ping'an walked up to a middle-aged manager Logistics Hall and said with cupped hands.

The middle-aged manager nodded a little coldly and looked at Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an blocked the sight of others with his body, took out two spiritual stones and placed them on the table. The middle-aged steward quickly accepted the spiritual stones, and then said with a smile, "What do you call this junior brother?"

"My name is Jiang Ping'an. I wonder what your surname is, senior brother?" Jiang Ping'an said.

The middle-aged steward smiled and said, "I'm Wang Yan'hai. Junior Brother Jiang, what mission do you want to do? Maybe I can help you introduce it."

Jiang Ping'an said, "Thank you, senior brother. Can I take on a task that doesn't take much time to earn good deeds?"

Wang Yan'hai immediately understood the true intention of Jiang Ping'an and said with a smile, "It turns out that Junior Brother Jiang wants to do the warehouse acquisition task. I wonder how much good work Junior Brother Jiang wants to earn? Is it fast or not in a hurry?"

Jiang Ping'an said, "I want to earn about 3,000 good works in half a year. Is there any suitable one?"

Wang Yan'hai thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "There happens to be a task that is more suitable for you."

"The first task is to hand over one hundred Spirit Devouring Bug Molt to the warehouse every month for half a year, and you can get three thousand good deeds. The price of a Spirit Devouring Bug Molt on the market is generally about one spiritual stone and two hundred and fifty taels of gold. If you find the right way, it can be cheaper."

Jiang Ping'an After listening, I made some calculations in my mind and found that it is equivalent to spending 750 spiritual stones to buy three thousand good deeds, and one spiritual stone to buy four good deeds.

Seeing Jiang Ping'an deep in thought, Wang Yan'hai said, "The cost of this mission is very small. Generally, for this kind of mission, one spiritual stone can only buy three or even two good deeds."

"Thank you Senior Brother Wang for your advice." Jiang Ping'an chose to trust Wang Yan'hai and said with a smile, "I will take on this task."

Wang Yan'hai smiled and said, "You're welcome, Junior Brother Jiang. It is my duty to serve everyone."

Not long after, Jiang Ping'an registered to take over the task of handing over Spirit Devouring Bug Molt to the warehouse and paid a deposit of fifteen spiritual stones.

When we came out of the Miscellaneous Hall, the sun was already setting in the west. Jiang Ping'an was in no hurry to go to Fulong Daping Valley Market or Azure Gu Peak to learn about Spirit Devouring Bug Molt.

The next morning, Jiang Ping'an arrived at Array Stone Engraving Workshop on horseback and received the ten good deeds.

Then, he received ten pieces of Green Jade Stone from Wang Jinzhen and planned to engrave ten basic formation stones this month.

The minimum requirement for engraving basic formation stones is five yuan per month. This minimum requirement is actually quite stressful for ordinary formation apprentices.

He can carve ten cornerstones in one month, which is already outstanding.

What's more, there is no merit in carving formation stones, so there is no need to put precious time and energy into it.

After taking ten pieces Green Jade Stone, Jiang Ping'an left the factory and returned to Thousand Emerald Mountain cave.

After returning to the cave, he did not carve the formation stone, but refined Golden Marrow Pill.

Now that he is almost penniless, he needs to prepare a sum of spiritual stones to acquire Spirit Devouring Bug Molt.

A few days later, Jiang Ping'an arrived at Fulong Daping Valley Market. He first entered a Spirit Pills store and sold five bottles of Golden Marrow Pill, getting sixty spiritual stones, an average of twelve spiritual stones per bottle.

This price is not only far inferior to the price given by Wei Tongcheng, it is even inferior to the street stall price, but this is the only way to do it now.

If he sets up a stall to sell Golden Marrow Pill, if he is discovered by Wei Tongcheng, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Of course, Jiang Ping'an has no regrets. He promised to only supply Dangjin Peak with seven bottles of Golden Marrow Pill every month because he did not want to become Dangjin Peak's full-time alchemist and maintained a certain degree of freedom, especially without affecting his practice.

Finally, Jiang Ping'an rented a stall at Bluestone Street, and while buying Spirit Devouring Bug Molt, he also bought the spiritual herbs needed to refine Golden Marrow Pill.

At noon, Jiang Ping'an purchased a lot of spiritual herbs needed to refine Golden Marrow Pill, but Spirit Devouring Bug Molt did not receive any of them.

Until the afternoon, a Qi Refining Realm Outer Sect Disciple finally stopped in front of the stall and asked about the purchase price of Spirit Devouring Bug Molt.

Jiang Ping'an raised his head and looked at the other person, only to see that the other person was a middle-aged monk with a bumpy face, as if he had been bitten by an insect. He was wearing the Azure Gu Peak logo.

He stood up and saluted the other party. "Hello, uncle. The amount of Spirit Devouring Bug Molt purchased by this disciple is relatively large, and it has been purchased continuously for half a year. I wonder how much Spirit Devouring Bug Molt can the uncle provide each month?"

The middle-aged monk with a colorful face thought for a moment and said, "I can provide more than twenty every month. Soul-eating insects are difficult to raise. They are more like gold-eating beasts than soul-eating insects."

"Too little." Jiang Ping'an shook his head.

The middle-aged monk with a colorful face asked, "Then how many do you want to buy every month?"

"One hundred." Jiang Ping'an said.

The middle-aged monk with a colorful face smiled and said, "If the price you give is fair, I can introduce a few junior brothers to sell Spirit Devouring Bug Molt to you."

Jiang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "If you help introduce me and guarantee that I can supply one hundred Spirit Devouring Bug Molt every month, I am willing to pay you twenty spiritual stones for tea."

"Seriously?" The middle-aged monk with a painted face showed a hint of joy.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "If the price can be negotiated, I will give you the spiritual stone with both hands."

"What's your purchase price?" the painted-faced middle-aged monk asked.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "One Spirit Devouring Bug Molt is a spiritual stone."

The middle-aged monk with a painted face said a little depressedly, "Your purchase price is not high at all."

Jiang Ping'an said, "But it's not lower than the purchase price of those shops."

The middle-aged monk with a colorful face said, "Having said that, how can I convince several of my junior brothers to sell it to you specifically? My reputation is not limited to twenty spiritual stones."

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Perhaps you can buy it for me first and then give it to me together."

"This..." The colorful-faced middle-aged monk couldn't help but think about it in his mind.

He thought to himself, "If you find a few juniors once a month, you can earn twenty spiritual stones in six months. If I lower the price of juniors, I may not be able to earn forty or fifty spiritual stones. It seems good."

Thinking of this, he made up his mind, raised his head and said to Jiang Ping'an, "I accepted this deal. I am Azure Gu Peak Outer Sect Disciple Liu Feizui."

"Mystic Array Peak's handyman disciple Jiang Ping'an pays homage to Master Liu." Jiang Ping'an saluted Liu Feizui.

Liu Feizui nodded, and then asked, "How to trade?"

"We will meet at Spirit Mist Tea House at noon on the fifteenth day. You bring a hundred Spirit Devouring Bug Molt, and I will bring enough spiritual stones." Jiang Ping'an said.

Liu Feizui asked, "Where is the tea fee?"

Jiang Ping'an said, "Every time we meet, I will honor you with five spiritual stones."

Liu Feizui nodded twice and said, "It's okay, that's it."
