Chapter 159: Piaodai Road
The next morning.
A golden paper crane flew into Danxia Peak and arrived at Hu Tianyou's Taoist temple.
The paper cranes circled Hu Tianyou several times, then disintegrated and transformed into a sentence:
"Fellow Daoist Hu, your employer has chosen you to refine an elixir for him. Please wait for him at the post station in Pingyang Market this evening. Remember, bring your alchemy tools with you, as you can only come alone."
"Choose me to make the elixir."
Hearing these words, Hu Tianyou was surprised, happy and surprised.
A few days ago, he heard that Wanbao Pavilion had released an alchemy task with high pay, so he casually signed up.
When signing up, he found that there were a lot of people signing up for this task, and many of their senior brothers' alchemy skills were better than his.
Therefore, Hu Tianyou did not have high hopes for this task, thinking that the employer would not choose him. Unexpectedly, he was actually chosen.
"go!"
Hu Tianyou was very active. He took the tools for alchemy and rushed to Pingyang Market early in the morning.
The reason why he was so active was because Hu Tianyou was very poor and needed spirit stones very much.
Even though he took over Zhu Biao's task of guarding the Four Immortal Herbs, he had only been in charge for a few years and had not yet made any money.
Moreover, after he advanced to the foundation-building cultivator, he created a set of equipment including flying swords, defensive magic tools, and robes. This set of equipment was borrowed from the sect at that time.
Now, Hu Tianyou has not yet repaid the sect's loan, so he is naturally enthusiastic about receiving such a well-paid task.
Of course, Hu Tianyou’s reward is still in Wanbao Pavilion at this time. He can only get the money after he completes the task and Wanbao Pavilion receives the information from his employer that the task is completed.
Along the way, Hu Tianyou traveled very quickly and arrived at the post station in Pingyangfang City at noon.
At this time, it was still a long way from the agreed dusk. Hu Tianyou frowned slightly, secretly blaming himself for coming too early.
Looking around, Hu Tianyou walked into the gate of the post station.
"Hey, senior, you're here. Welcome, welcome, senior, please come in!"
"Ok!"
The waiter at the post station was also a cultivator, and he respectfully led Hu Tianyou into the post station.
"Senior, are you dining here or staying in the hotel?"
"Forehead……"
Hu Tianyou hesitated for a moment when asked.
There are still several hours from now until dusk. The best thing to do is to get a room and rest for a few hours.
But staying in a hotel in Pingyangfang City costs money, and Hu Tianyou is now in debt and is reluctant to spend money.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he is a great cultivator who has established his foundation. He seems to be in a good position on the surface. In fact, he lives a very poor and miserable life.
Forget about staying in a hotel. It’s a difficult time now. Once I pay off my loans, I can stay wherever I want.
Thinking of this, Hu Tianyou said casually: "I won't stay in the hotel."
"You don't want to stay at the hotel, but you want to eat?"
"Forehead……"
Hu Tianyou looked a little embarrassed when he heard this and said, "No need for meal."
You're not staying in the hotel, and you're not eating, so what are you doing here?
The guy at the post station looked at Hu Tianyou with a strange expression, but of course he didn't dare to say what was in his heart.
Hu Tianyou understood the waiter's look and felt a little embarrassed. He waved his sleeves and pretended to be calm, saying, "I need to wait for someone. Go, go, boil a kettle of water."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Hu Tianyou found a quiet corner and the waiter brought him tea after a while.
He drank tea and waited quietly.
I waited until dusk, and poured three more pots of water. I drank until my lungs were floating, but the person still didn't arrive.
"Hey, bring me another bottle of water."
"okay!"
The waiter at the post station respectfully placed the tea on the table.
After turning around, he couldn't help but curse.
What kind of thing is this? A great cultivator who has established his foundation sat in the post station for an entire afternoon and was not willing to spend a penny.
This guy is too stingy.
The tea at the post station is free.
soon.
The sun sets over the western mountains and night falls.
Hu Tianyou drank two more pots of water, but no one showed up.
As the hour of midnight neared, a faint voice suddenly rang out beside Hu Tianyou's ears: "Senior Hu, I'm here to pick you up on the orders of my master. Please move forward."
coming.
Hu Tianyou was overjoyed and walked out of the post station.
I saw a woman in white standing more than ten feet away from the entrance of the post station.
The woman had disheveled hair and a face as pale as paper. She floated quietly in the air without touching the ground.
A vivid image of a ghost.
Hu Tianyou was startled. He never expected that the one who came to pick him up was actually a wandering soul.
After all, he was a great cultivator in the foundation building stage. He quickly calmed down and said calmly, "Is it your master who asked me to make the elixir?"
"That's right!" said Apia.
Is your master a human or a ghost?
Hu Tianyou looked at Apia in confusion and was too embarrassed to speak.
Under normal circumstances, if he encountered a wandering soul, he would have killed it easily, but today was different. This wandering soul was related to the mission, so he had to treat it with caution.
At the same time, he probably also figured out that since the reward for this task was so high, the employer was most likely not a human, but most likely a ghost cultivator.
If it is a ghost cultivator, do I still need to refine the elixir? I am a great foundation-building cultivator. If people know that I refine the elixir for ghosts, how can I survive in the future?
No matter whether he is a human or a ghost, just focus on making the elixir. As long as you pay, it doesn't matter who you are making the elixir for.
Hu Tianyou strengthened his belief.
No matter what, I have to refine the elixir. This task must be completed.
If Hu Tianyou didn't owe the sect a loan, he would have turned around and left if he encountered such a task.
But at this moment, he was reluctant to leave because the salary offered by his employer was too generous.
Hu Tianyou gritted his teeth and said calmly, "Where is your master?"
"Please come with me."
After saying this, Apia turned around and floated away.
This employer is so weird. Will it be dangerous? Should I go?
Hu Tianyou hesitated for a moment and did not chase after him immediately.
"Senior Hu, my master said that if you are unwilling to make the elixir for him, he will not force you!"
After saying this, Apia floated farther and farther away.
"go!"
Hu Tianyou summoned his flying sword and quickly chased after Apia.
As he chased, Hu Tianyou was surprised to find that Apia was moving very fast, so fast that it exceeded his normal cruising speed.
This wandering soul is not simple.
Hu Tianyou was somewhat shocked. If a wandering soul was so powerful, then the master behind him must be even more powerful.
Thinking of this, Hu Tianyou felt a little wary of his employer.
What he didn't know was that under the red tent, there was an army of 100,000 wandering souls, and these 100,000 wandering souls were capable of all kinds of tricks.
And this ghost is a speed-type player.
The speed of wandering souls is inherently faster than that of human cultivators, and among the 100,000 wandering souls, Apia is far ahead in speed.
In the eyes of normal cultivators, the speed of such a wandering soul is of course terrifying.
Xu Changshou carefully arranged such a contestant to pick up Hu Tianyou, and he must have had a purpose.
He wanted to give Hu Tianyou a warning, a warning to make him feel that he was not someone to be trifled with, and prevent him from having any bad thoughts.
