Steward Chen secretly contacted the Grand Elder with a tongshen jade talisman from below the stage, but the response from the other side was, “Don’t worry.”
Steward Chen’s mouth twitched.
Since the Grand Elder, that old guy, said so, he would definitely protect him in secret!
To make the Grand Elder abandon his other duties, this An Chen was truly impressive.
Steward Chen silently processed the procedure for the three to accept the bounty, returning their identity tokens along with the mission wooden plaque.
This time, An Chen was finally able to completely read all the words written on the mission wooden plaque.
He knew the mission objective; as for the mission location… he had memorized the position, but he didn’t recognize the streets of Qingfeng City, so he could only remember the name for now and then ask his two Senior Brothers later.
Anyway, his two Senior Brothers would definitely take him there.
Mission reward… one hundred Spirit Stones?
This was the total reward, which would have to be split among three people.
“It seems that Spirit Stones are not that easy to earn…”
He had seen Yang Licheng casually give him three hundred Spirit Stones and thought it was a small amount, but now it seemed he would have to complete several missions for that much!
“Is Junior Brother displeased with the reward?”
Noticing An Chen staring blankly at the reward column, Chen Sheng smiled and patted An Chen’s back.
“This is Junior Brother’s first mission; this time, the entire reward is yours!”
“I wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare. This mission mainly relies on the two Senior Brothers; how could I monopolize the reward?”
An Chen quickly waved his hand.
“Actually, the missions we usually take are more difficult than this, and the rewards are higher. This really isn’t much.”
Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
But An Chen still firmly refused.
He didn’t want this kind of money.
It felt as if it were alms given to him.
“Alright, we’ll talk about it then!”
Chen Sheng didn’t force him, just smiled and patted his back.
“Let’s go, Senior Brothers will take you down the mountain now!”
Cultivator generally didn’t need to pack luggage because their belongings were always carried in their qiankun bag.
This was the most convenient aspect; therefore, they could leave whenever they wanted.
“Senior Brother, when we go down the mountain, do we still take the mountain path?”
An Chen really wanted to know this, because if they actually walked down the mountain, he might truly have to walk until his next Transmigration.
After Transmigration, his original time was relatively still, but not completely still, which was why about two minutes still passed after he returned.
During these two minutes, they should be in a “disappeared” state.
If he were to disappear right in front of his Senior Brothers, his identity would immediately be exposed.
The matter of Transmigration, probably due to the slow spread of information in Kyushu, hadn’t yet spread widely in Kyushu, but it was foreseeable that Transmigration events would soon sweep through.
At that time, things would become serious, reaching a point where he couldn’t control them.
“Of course not. We took the mountain path back then because we had to transport you Mortals up the mountain. You were all Mortals and couldn’t withstand the intensity of the teleportation Formation, but now you are also a Cultivator, so it’s fine. We can take the teleportation Formation down the mountain.”
Teleportation Formation?
An Chen knew about this kind of Formation. He heard that almost every city had a Tong Shen Hall. The Tong Shen Hall not only controlled the business of tongshen jade talismans but also monopolized the teleportation Formations in almost all cities.
Inside the Tong Shen Hall, there was a special area open to Cultivator, which contained many large and small teleportation Formations for them to travel to other cities. As long as they paid a certain amount of Spirit Stones, they could go to any city they wished.
Ordinary small teleportation Formations could transport hundreds of miles, while larger ones could cross major states and transport tens of thousands of miles.
This was like a company monopolizing the aviation industry. There was no doubt that the Tong Shen Hall also profited immensely from this.
An Chen heard that some large Sects also had many teleportation Formations, making it convenient for Sect Disciples and Elders to travel to various places, as well as to Spirit Stone mines, medicinal gardens, Spiritual Veins, and cities controlled by the Sect, and even to other Sects.
But a small School like Qingfeng Sect actually had a teleportation gate?
He had never heard of it.
Qingfeng Sect’s medicinal gardens, Spirit Stone mines, and Spiritual Veins were all on the mountain, just a short walk away, so there was no need for a teleportation gate at all.
Qingfeng City was a bit further, but not that far.
“Hehe.”
Jiang Cheng and Chen Sheng exchanged a knowing smile.
“You guys…”
An Chen was a bit confused.
The expressions on their faces just now clearly showed a hint of slyness.
“You’ll know when we get there! To be honest, it’s quite fun!”
Jiang Cheng pushed An Chen forward.
The more he did this, the more peculiar An Chen felt.
When they arrived at the so-called “teleportation Formation,” An Chen felt as if he had been tricked onto a pirate ship.
“This… is this f***ing a teleportation Formation?”
An Chen rarely swore.
In front of him stood a giant “slingshot,” over ten meters high. The slingshot’s leather strap also seemed to have some special quality, looking very elastic.
But could this thing be called a teleportation Formation?
This was clearly throwing people across!
An Chen finally understood why Mortals couldn’t use this “teleportation Formation”—they would probably be smashed to death!
No, Cultivator would also be smashed to death!
An Chen even suspected that his two Senior Brothers were just amusing themselves at his expense.
“Hey, our Qingfeng Sect is a small-time operation; it’s good enough to have this!”
Jiang Cheng pushed An Chen to the front of the giant “slingshot,” while Chen Sheng, standing by, said with a smile.
“This… won’t it kill me if I fall?”
“No, no!” Jiang Cheng explained with a smile, “There’s a relatively large Formation below that will lock onto and catch us in mid-air, and there will be people on duty around the clock, so even if the Formation fails, they can still catch you.”
An Chen looked at the mountain ridge in front of him. Today, it was inexplicably shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see the scenery below the mountain, which made him even more terrified.
“Newcomer?”
The Disciple guarding the “slingshot” laughed.
“Yes, it’s that An Chen.”
Chen Sheng winked.
“You dare bring him down the mountain here? Wouldn’t it be better to take a flying boat?”
“Shut up, hurry up, tie him up, don’t waste our time, understand!”
“Alright, alright, let’s see what kind of trouble you’re going to stir up this time.”
The Disciple guarding the slingshot walked over and pointed at An Chen, asking:
“This one goes first, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Jiang Cheng eagerly pushed him out.
An Chen’s forehead was covered in black lines.
These two were definitely messing with him! Absolutely!
An Chen’s scalp was tingling now.
“Can I… choose to walk down?”
“No, once you’re under the slingshot, there’s no reason not to fly down. Don’t worry, your two Senior Brothers were more timid than you back then; they knelt here, hugging the slingshot and refusing to let go.”
“You!”
Chen Sheng was annoyed.
“Why are you exposing my past? How am I supposed to face my Junior Brother now!”
He hadn’t expected that his past deeds would actually be exposed.
“I don’t care about you!”
The Disciple put the leather harness on An Chen and burst into laughter.
