The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 23 First Exploration of Liuye Town

"Can it only be two people?"

Li Fan was puzzled; he couldn't figure out why.

However, Zhou Yi had already made plans.

What he needs most right now is someone to continuously collect luck points for him.

Even if the three of them were to go together and all of them were wiped out, it would only be a minor loss for him, not a serious one.

But if all seven of them were to perish inside, that would truly break his heart.

At that time, this will not only cause him to lose 7 points of luck, but will also result in him not receiving any luck points for two days.

Lingtian.

Li Fan, carrying a mission, walked towards the players.

"Brothers, I've received a new mission from the sect leader. He wants me to take two people with me to explore the new map, Liuye Town."

Somewhat puzzled, Qunxing asked, "Brother Suiyin, is there a limit to the number of participants for this mission?"

Li Fan nodded and explained, "Why don't you take a look first?"

After saying that, he opened the task panel.

[Task: Sell Monster Corpses]

[Mission Requirements: Go to Liuye Town and sell all the monster corpses in your storage ring]

[Limited to 3 people]

[Task Reward: Depends on the results of exchanging for spirit stones]

After a brief discussion, the players decided on two candidates: Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

After all, the announcement had already made it very clear that Liuye Town was in a gray area, fraught with danger.

Therefore, this task is likely to be quite difficult, so players will naturally have to give it their all.

With hidden talents and abilities, one person providing physical strength and the other providing intelligence, along with Li Fan's previous exploration experience, traveling together as a trio would be the safest option.

Time was of the essence, so Li Fan and his two companions quickly packed their bags and set off for Liuye Town.

Half a day later, outside Liuye Town.

Li Fan and his two companions stopped and looked inside.

Located at the south gate of Liuye Town, the group went straight in and arrived at the market for wandering cultivators.

Many cultivators were hawking their wares, hoping to sell their cultivation-related products.

Crouching Tiger glanced around and saw that most of the items for sale were talismans, inferior pills, and some so-called spiritual fruits.

High-end items such as ritual implements were scarce.

"Just as I thought."

Crouching Tiger understood immediately; his years of experience allowed him to make a preliminary judgment about the place at a glance.

"Brother Wohu, what do you think we should do to sell this batch of monster corpses? There's a huge quantity of them."

Li Fan looked at Crouching Tiger and asked with some curiosity.

He also realized that this group of rogue cultivators had no ability to digest all of their demon beast corpses.

Wo Hu gently rubbed his temples and fell into deep thought.

Since this place has developed into a black market, it means that its real market is not limited to this.

But the market in front of them is only this small, which can only mean one thing: they haven't found the real way yet.

Crouching Tiger's eyes darted around, and he suddenly asked, "Suiyin, which place here has the best information network?"

Li Fan didn't think too much about it and replied directly, "It's a teahouse. What does Brother Wohu mean?"

Wo Hu nodded, said nothing more, and led the two toward the teahouse.

The three of them soon arrived at a place not far from the teahouse. Just as Li Fan and Qianlong were about to walk forward, Wohu reached out and stopped them.

"What's wrong, Tiger?"

Qianlong asked in confusion.

Wohu pulled the group to a small alley and said in a deep voice, "First, divide the monster corpses in this storage bag into three parts. Then, the three of us will go into the teahouse one after another to gather information."

"Remember, never let them discover that we are in contact. After you've finished asking, we'll meet back here."

Li Fan and his companion were a little confused, but they did as instructed.

The three of them quickly divided the monster's corpse inside the storage bag, and then Li Fan went to the teahouse alone first.

The black market didn't have many barriers to entry; he simply asked a few questions and easily learned its location.

He quickly returned to the alley.

But before he knew it, a strange cultivator appeared behind him.

Li Fan had already noticed the person behind him. He frowned slightly and quickened his pace, disappearing into the depths of the alley.

The cultivator grinned, but didn't quicken his pace. Because he knew—

This alley is a dead end.

Soon, only a wall remained in front of Li Fan. He subconsciously turned around and met the eyes of the black-clad cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry, I had no choice in the matter..."

After the cultivator finished speaking, he immediately commanded a flying sword to attack Li Fan. His cultivation at the third level of Qi Refining was enough to suppress him completely.

"Wo Hu was right after all; we've really caught a big fish this time."

Li Fan looked at the rapidly approaching flying sword, but instead of retreating, he even smiled slightly.

This sword looks incredibly valuable.

The next moment, two sword lights flashed behind the cultivator.

"If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet," Li Fan chuckled, his tone playful.

The black-clad monk then realized that he had fallen into a trap.

But now he realized it was too late; surrounded on both sides, he had nowhere to escape.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the black-clad cultivator died under the combined attack of the three.

"Don't rush to count the spoils. After you've packed them up, let's get going."

After reminding the two, Wohu began to search the black-clad cultivator.

A moment later, six storage bags appeared out of thin air in his hands.

Qianlong glanced at the storage bag in Wohu's hand, and when he looked away, his tone was tinged with emotion: "This cultivator has committed many evils, and we can be considered to be acting on behalf of Heaven today."

Li Fan nodded slightly, and the three of them quickly retreated from the alley.

Soon, the group arrived at the black market and went to several stalls to sell the monster corpses.

After some haggling by Wohu, the 20 or so corpses were exchanged for a total of 70 spirit stones.

The returns were quite good.

More importantly, they also gained something unexpected from their trip.

Inside the ruins of the sect.

After listening to Li Fan and the others' report, Zhou Yi nodded in satisfaction.

He originally estimated it would be around 60 spirit stones, so 70 was beyond his expectations.

In addition, it is a good thing for players to earn extra money to enhance their strength. Moreover, most of the cultivators who have been killed have little background, so there will be no hidden dangers after they are killed.

However, Wo Hu's meticulousness did surprise him. He hadn't expected that Wo Hu would anticipate that there would be newcomers lying in wait in the teahouse asking about the location of the black market.

When Zhou Yi asked him about it, his reasoning was quite simple.

"As a place for the exchange of information, teahouses must have many independent cultivators loitering around them."

"If he wants to sell items on the black market, it only means that the items he has acquired are valuable."

"Since the location of the black market is unknown, it proves that the other party is a newcomer and is usually not very strong."

"The two combined are naturally the best prey in the eyes of the Intercepting Cultivator."

Back to the present, Zhou Yi distributed 10 sect contribution points to each person.

But just as the three of them stepped away, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the door.

"Guys, I've struck gold!"
