Chapter 266 Mission

Xu Mu left Li Youlan's Tengluo Courtyard, took two maids, and walked towards the Luoxing Courtyard where he lived. He was still thinking about the mission Li Youlan said in his mind.

The task is not difficult, and there is no danger. It can even be called a benefit.

The mission content is to help the people of Zhangxian Division to clean up the remaining souls and resentments in Tianlao.

When the Dayuan Dynasty was established, the Heavenly Prison had been established. Every year, a large number of cultivators were imprisoned in it, and a large number of cultivators were secretly executed in it. Over the years, a large amount of money was accumulated in the Heavenly Prison. The remaining resentment of the soul.

If these residual souls and resentments are not cleared up in time, they may give birth to some kind of terrifying monster.

In order to avoid this situation from happening, the Dayuan Dynasty produced nine great cauldrons, combined with a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, to clean up the Tianlao every hundred years.

Now that a hundred years are approaching, the Palm Immortal Division is gathering manpower to control the nine great cauldrons to clean up the Tianlao.

There is only one requirement for those who control the cauldron, that is, they must be alchemists, and they must be at least seventh level.

Li Youlan managed to get this spot by virtue of her mission to hunt down Jie Xiu. Originally, she asked a casual alchemist to do the mission.

Although she agreed with the mission requirements, her status as a princess meant that she would not be able to enter the prison, and the impact would be too great.

Now that Xu Mu meets the requirements, it is natural that the wealth will not flow to outsiders.

As for the resources Li Youlan mentioned, they are also related to refining residual souls.

That heaven-reaching spiritual treasure can clear away the resentment in the remnant soul, extract the pure soul power from it, and condense it into a magical elixir called the Soul Refining Pill.

This kind of elixir can quickly replenish the soul power of cultivation in a short period of time, and it has miraculous effects when taken during the process of breakthrough in cultivation.

If he could get this kind of elixir, he would be almost certain to break through to the late stage of the golden elixir.

"You must get this elixir!"

Xu Mu secretly swore in his heart.

"Sir, we are here!" Rou'er said with a smile.

"oh!"

Xu Mu nodded, activated the formation and walked in.

The next moment, the whole person couldn't help but be stunned.

On the ground, on the walls, on the roof, there are dots of fluorescent lights everywhere, making you feel like you are in the vast starry sky.

Xu Mu finally understood the origin of Luoxingyuan.

"Sir, when this courtyard was built, a large number of star-guiding stones were added, which not only made the place rich in aura, but also attracted the power of stars every night, emitting star fluorescence, just like the stars falling from the sky. , that’s why we got the name Luo Xingyuan!” Rou’er said quite proudly.

"It's really interesting!"

Xu Mu touched his nose and smiled.

Li Youlan's courtyard is called Wisteria Courtyard because there is a thousand-year-old purple wisteria tree in it. Not only does it have the best spiritual energy among all the courtyards, but the fragrance of the wisteria flowers also has the effect of calming the mind.

And his yard is because of the guiding stone, which can increase the aura and at the same time increase the defense of the yard.

I just don’t know what’s so special about the other two courtyards.

"You two go back and rest! You don't have to wait on me anymore!"

After entering the room, Xu Mu spoke.

The two of them looked at each other, and Rou'er said with some trepidation, "Sir, if we need it, we can..."

"What are you waiting for!"

"ah!!!"

Isn't this too straightforward?

Why is it different from what you imagined?

The old man doesn’t talk about martial ethics!

The two of them were a little confused.

Xu Mu didn't care about that much. Since it was delivered to his door, there was no reason not to accept it. At the same time, it could also reassure Li Youlan.

A lustful person who is greedy for money is obviously easier to control.

It’s been a long night!

…

In the room, Xu Mu was studying the white butterfly he took from Wang Yongan.

"Sure enough, it is a puppet made from corpses. This kind of corpse puppet not only has the advantages of solid puppetry and easy control, but can also inherit some of the innate magical powers of the corpse and exert various effects! It is not easy to be recruited. !”

Xu Mu couldn't help but admire the various skills displayed on the corpse puppet.

"The production technology of this kind of puppet is somewhat similar to my white fox puppet. It's a pity that the production technology cannot be developed with these corpses. Otherwise, I might be able to upgrade the white fox puppet!"

In fact, the strength of the white fox puppet is not weak. Whether it is the crystallized light or the terrifying defense power, it is enough to make it rampant in the golden elixir stage.

But who would think that the puppet in his hand is strong? With the strength of the white fox puppet, it can be upgraded to the Nascent Soul stage puppet.

If you have a Nascent Soul stage puppet, it is a good choice whether you use it yourself or keep it at home.

In addition, there was also the consumption of spirit stones by the white fox puppet, which was really scary. He always wanted to improve it.

However, the technique of making corpse puppets is probably the other party's unique secret technique. At least Xu Mu has never been exposed to it. Now that the two are at odds with each other, it is obviously impossible to trade it from the other party.

"I heard that this guy likes to go to the fence, so I might as well find an opportunity to tie him up!"

Just as Xu Mu was making plans in his mind, Xin'er's voice came from outside the house.

"Sir, Sir Qiao Qianqian is here!"

"oh?"

Xu Mu was slightly surprised.

From the first day he came to the house, he found that Qiao Qianqian was particularly close to him and constantly showed kindness.

Does this Qiao Qianqian have any special hobbies and just likes old men?

Although he was valued by Li Youlan, he was not so enthusiastic as soon as they met him.

Lu Kuai deliberately got close to him because he wanted to collect his aura. The other people basically didn't talk to him except at the beginning.

Only Qiao Qianqian not only took the initiative to talk to him, but also reminded him many times, and now she was the first to come to him.

"Let her go to the hall first!"

"My slave understands!"

After Xin'er left, Xu Mu straightened his clothes and walked out. When he arrived in the hall, Qiao Qianqian was already waiting there.

The waist is slender, like a willow blowing in the wind, and the face is young and fresh, giving people a crispy feeling that makes people want to take a bite.

"I kept you, Daoist Qiao, waiting for a long time." Xu Mu apologized.

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Xu."

"Please sit down!"

Xu Mu asked Qiao Qianqian to sit down first, then asked Xin'er to serve some fruits and snacks, and made two cups of spiritual tea.

Some of these things were given to him by Li Youlan, and some were carried by him himself.

"Huh?" Qiao Qianqian took a sip of tea, her eyes suddenly brightened slightly, and she said with some surprise: "This tea has a light and elegant aroma, and a long taste. After drinking it, you will have a refreshing aura. This is the first time for me to drink it, no. Do you know what it’s called?”

"This is laurel tea! It is made by picking the new buds from the laurel tree and the laurel flowers in season, and stir-frying it!" Xu Mu said.

This kind of laurel tea was given to him by his alchemist when he was in Xianyue Palace. It is considered a specialty of Xianyue Palace. The taste is slightly different depending on each person's production method.

"I have drunk a lot of laurel tea, and even planted a few, but it is much worse than yours! Do fellow Taoists know the location of the laurel trees used to make tea? The little girl wants to transplant one!" Qiao Qianqian road.

"I don't know! These tea leaves were also given to me by a friend!"

Xu Mu shook his head.

Xianyue Palace is in the Central Territory, thousands of miles away from here. Go there and transplant it for you!

Not to mention, most of the high-grade laurel trees in Xianyue Palace were transplanted from the tenth-level mother tree and were not sold at all.

"Then can you introduce that friend of yours to me?"

"..."

Is this topic going too far?

Xu Mu coughed twice, pretended not to hear, and said directly: "I wonder what the Taoist friend came to see me for?"

Seeing that Xu Mu was unwilling to say anything, Qiao Qianqian felt a little regretful. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea before saying, "It's nothing important. I just came here to chat with fellow Taoists. Could it be that fellow Taoists don't welcome little girls?"

"Fellow Taoist, you are joking! It's an honor for me, fellow Taoist, to come!"

The two chatted for a while, and Qiao Qianqian said goodbye and left. It seemed as if she really just came to him to chat and talk.

But before leaving, I was a little reluctant and asked about the laurel tree again.

For spiritual planters, the love for unique spiritual roots is simply engraved in their bones.

After sending Qiao Qianqian away, Xu Mu stood in the yard, holding his chin and lost in thought.

He didn't believe that the other party was really here to chat.

"Originally, I wanted to use her connections to buy some medicinal materials, but now it seems like we should wait a little longer!"

…

A month later, Li Youlan's request for the reward came down, and Xu Mu was named an earl, and could choose a state capital in the Dayuan Dynasty to establish a family.

Soon after, Xu Lingyu and Xu Mu received orders from Li Youlan and went to the prison guarded by the Zhangxian Division to carry out the task of cleaning up the remaining souls.
