Lu Xueqi's Special Mission
Li Hao pondered for a moment, then said, "It's nothing much, just a small gain."
Shuiyue became interested upon hearing this.
She had only asked casually, after all, crafting weapons and refining pills were not things that ordinary people could handle. Although cultivators had lifespans far exceeding those of ordinary people, the time required for cultivation was also quite long.
How can one reap unlimited rewards within a finite lifespan?
Shuiyue didn't know much about alchemy and weapon crafting; in fact, it could be said that most Qingyun Sect didn't know much about them either.
However, this does not hinder people's understanding of alchemy and weapon crafting, or their pursuit of the unknown realm of cultivation.
"Brother Li's research on weapon crafting is exceptionally profound. In my entire life, I have never seen anyone with such a deep understanding of weapon crafting as Brother Lu Xueqi," Lu Xueqi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the dojo.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Hao in surprise.
If someone else had said that, they would naturally have been more skeptical. But who was Lu Xueqi? The number one young talent of the Qingyun Sect, comparable only to Sect Leader Dao Xuan and Wan Jianyi. Would someone like that be lying?
Besides, everyone knows what kind of personality Lu Xueqi has.
For her to say such a thing, it's clear that Li Hao's research in weapon crafting is not just good, but has reached a considerable level.
Dao Xuan asked, "Fellow Daoist Li has such profound expertise in weapon crafting?"
Li Hao glanced at Lu Xueqi, somewhat puzzled as to why she suddenly spoke up, but faced with Dao Xuan's question, he knew now was not the time for modesty.
He smiled and said, "It's acceptable."
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately filled with awe and respect.
Is it acceptable?
Then there's no denial.
Moreover, Shang Ke, who could elicit such words from Lu Xueqi, must be no ordinary Shang Ke, right?
Biyou exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Lu Xueqi, little piggy, is actually speaking up for the group owner. Could it be that she was really sexually harassed by the group owner?"
Gu Santong nodded seriously and said, "Very likely."
Lu Xueqi: "I received a mission, mission screenshot. jpg"
Li Hao was surprised and clicked on the task.
Special Mission: Legend of the Immortal Realm.
There are countless worlds, large and small, in the myriad Heavens and Myriad Worlds, but most of them vanish without a trace, like a fleeting moment. Only a few worlds form special connections with other worlds, thus giving rise to legends such as ascension and immortality.
Ascended carry the origins of the world to a more powerful one. They are the propagators of civilization, the sparks of destruction, and the rebirth from the ashes.
The world you live in is connected to a Great Thousand Worlds, but this connection is not Eternal.
A century from now, the connection between the two worlds will be severed.
Before the two worlds lose contact, lead the cultivators of this world to develop a completely new world. This is a chain quest, and the final result will determine your fate.
Task 1: Make people aware of the existence of the Immortal Realm. This task can be undertaken by multiple people.
Task rewards: will be determined based on the task evaluation.
Biyou's expression changed slightly, and she whispered, "It's only a hundred years!"
Lu Xueqi: "Yes, it was purely coincidental that the group leader was able to discover this world. A moment earlier or a moment later, and we might not have been able to find it at all. We don't have much time left to prepare. If we can't uncover this new world before the two worlds lose contact, we'll never have another chance."
Gu Santong: "Tsk tsk, Miss Lu Xueqi is really lucky. The rewards for such a large-scale mission are very generous."
Angel Yan: "Things aren't that simple. The most crucial point is whether we can develop and explore this new world before then. The Chat Group has already said that this new world is the Great Thousand Worlds. Don't you guys have any idea what level of world the Great Thousand Worlds is?"
Goddess Leona: "(ˉ▽ ̄~) Tch~~, it's just the Great Thousand Worlds, what's so great about it? It's not like I haven't seen it before."
Tony Stark: "If the situation is as the Chat Group mission says, Miss Lu's time is very tight. Everyone, please pay attention to the mission requirements, based on the extent of your exploration and development of the new world. If it takes you a hundred years to enter the new world, even if you complete the mission, there won't be many rewards."
The biggest challenge of this task lies in completing it quickly and maximizing profits while conducting research without fully understanding the situation in the Great Thousand Worlds.
Ming Yanwei: "_(|3"∠)_, what a complicated feeling."
Yan Lingji squirmed in Li Hao, asking doubtfully, "What's so difficult about that? As long as we unify the power of the entire world, won't we be able to solve the problem the fastest? Now, the biggest traitor of the righteous path and the biggest traitor of the demonic path are both on our side. What problem can't we solve?"
Li Hao felt the little fairy wriggling in his arms and silently recited the Ice Heart Formula.
He said, "Foolish Yan Lingji, the key issue is whether Lu Xueqi and Biyou can hold the fort, whether they can make people believe in the existence of the Immortal Realm, and whether they can unite the forces of the righteous and the demonic paths, understand?"
Yan Lingji said coquettishly, "They definitely can't, but isn't there still the Big Brother Group Leader?"
Li Hao was speechless.
Okay, you win.
But what do you take your Big Brother Group Leader for?
Li Hao said helplessly, "The key is that your Big Brother Group Leader can't stay here forever."
Yan Lingji stuck out her tongue, her alluring face beaming with a smile, and said, "Big Brother Group Leader, you don't need to stay here. Just accept the mission and then show off your real skills, okay?"
Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but glance at the little vixen.
This little thing truly lives up to her reputation as the Big Brother Group Leader's thoughtful little darling; she even knows how to ask for rewards on his Big Brother Group Leader.
Li Hao secretly praised her, barely managing to refrain from kissing Yan Lingji.
Hold it in, hold it in, or people will think you're a psychopath.
Lu Xueqi: "Yan Lingji's words make a lot of sense. If we have the group leader's help to complete the exploration and discovery of the Immortal Realm, we might be able to unify the forces of the righteous and demonic paths and complete this plan in the shortest possible time. Group leader, could Lu Xueqi ask you for a favor?"
Li Hao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."
Lu Xueqi: "Thank you, group owner."
"Lu Xueqi has shared Special Mission with you. Do you accept it?"
Li Hao silently clicked "OK".
Lu Xueqi: "This mission concerns the future of my world. Is there anyone else in the group interested in joining?"
Gu Santong: "Ahem, I don't know much about this stuff, so I won't cause you any trouble."
Li Xunhuan: "I haven't researched this matter either."
Goddess Leona: "I'm somewhat interested, but after thinking about it, I don't really know how to help you, so I'll pass."
Tony Stark: "Count me in, this is something I, Tony Stark, am best at."
Angel Yan: "I'm not joining either; I've been quite busy lately."
Soon, everyone responded.
Apart from Tony Stark, the group's top scientist, and Biyou, no one else agreed.
It wasn't that they didn't want to; after all, this was a large-scale, multi-part quest, and the rewards were undoubtedly exceptionally generous. However, they understood that they couldn't offer much help with the quest, and while the rewards were good, they felt it wouldn't be right to simply accept them for free.
Just as everyone joined the mission, Zeng Shushu, after a brief moment of surprise, asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Li, could you demonstrate your work and broaden our horizons?"
Li Hao snapped out of his reverie about the mission and, seeing the eager looks on everyone's faces, smiled and said, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
They couldn't wait to see what Li Hao had actually made.
Li Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Since everyone is so interested, if I don't show some real skills, I'm afraid I'll be looked down upon."
Everyone smiled, but their excitement only grew.
Real skill?
Li Hao turned to Dao Xuan and smiled, "I've been researching something new lately. I wonder if the sect leader would be interested in seeing it?"
Dao Xuan raised an eyebrow and said, "If you are interested in demonstrating, Dao Xuan am certainly interested in glimpsing its mysteries."
Li Hao said, "This technique still requires the sect leader's assistance."
Upon hearing this, Dao Xuan also became interested.
He smiled and said, "Interesting. How would you like me to assist you, fellow Daoist?"
Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, word by word, "I need some relatively rare refining materials."
Dao Xuan asked in astonishment, "Fellow Daoist, do you mean to forge weapons on the spot!?"
Li Hao replied firmly, "Exactly."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Hao in astonishment.
Most of them had never actually seen weapon forging before. Hearing that Li Hao was going to forge a weapon on the spot, they immediately became interested.
The elders of the Qingyun Sect exchanged glances, and then Dao Xuan nodded slightly.
Dao Xuan said, "What materials do you need, fellow Daoist? Please tell me and I will take a look."
Li Hao pondered for a moment and said, "I need three Mithril, one tael of Refined Gold, Hundred-Forged Bronze, ten rubies, ten catties of fine jade, and a piece of paulownia wood."
Dao Xuan frowned slightly.
These materials are quite valuable.
Even for the Qingyun Sect, while they could afford to use it, it would be a bit extravagant to use it for an experiment.
However, considering that he had already agreed, if he refused now, it would not only damage the reputation of the Qingyun Sect, but more importantly, it would offend Li Hao.
Although Dao Xuan was unaware of Li Hao's abilities, he remembered Lu Xueqi's evaluation and didn't want to embarrass himself over such a small matter.
Therefore, Dao Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright, but you need a lot of materials, so please wait a moment."
Li Hao smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Sect Leader."
Dao Xuan nodded slightly and whispered a few words to the disciple beside him.
The disciple then respectfully withdrew.
Meanwhile, the Chat Group was buzzing with excitement.
Yan Lingji hugged Li Hao's arm and said coquettishly, "Wow, I'm so excited! Big Brother Group Leader, tell me quickly, what kind of treasure are you going to refine with these things?"
Gu Santong's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Add one! Looking forward to the group leader's performance!"
Even Lu Xueqi couldn't help but look at Li Hao with curiosity, her bright eyes full of inquiry.
Biyou ran forward excitedly, her eyes shining, and said, "Group leader, tell me quickly, what kind of surprise do you want to give those idiots from the Qingyun Sect?"
Li Hao smiled calmly and said, "The Buddha said, it cannot be spoken of."
Everyone was furious, and Yan Lingji even lay down on Li Hao's neck and started biting him angrily.
To others, however, Yan Lingji's actions seemed less like anger and more like flirting, leaving everyone speechless.
Is this a punishment or a reward?
