The person who entered the shop hall was an old man at the peak Spirit Severing stage. As soon as he entered, he stopped beside Qin Fengming.
Looking closely, Qin Fengming recognized the old man. He was the very same old man with whom Qin Fengming had once shared a brief encounter at Hongde Hall, and who had said a few words back then.
Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative to greet him, Qin Fengming naturally did not dare neglect him. He clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist. This Qin came precisely with that intention."
"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist, you should be the first cultivator in the past hundred-odd thousand years to accept a Hongde Hall mission while at the early Spirit Severing stage. Someone like you does not appear even once in tens of thousands of years. You must have already received your first mission, but I wonder which of the two missions you chose?"
The old man's eyes gleamed, and he spoke in an utterly casual tone, as though he had asked merely in passing.
Yet from the old man's question, Qin Fengming seemed to hear something more. It felt as though the old man had not asked casually at all.
A cultivator at the early Spirit Severing stage had actually dared to accept a mission from Hongde Hall. Such a thing had never been heard of before.
Qin Fengming simply ignored the astonished gazes of the others.
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. This Qin is unfamiliar with the battleground between the two realms, and has yet to decide which mission to choose. I came to the Tenglong Pavilion shop merely to find some classic texts and study them. Fellow Daoist, please bring out every text related to the conflict between the two realms.
