Chapter 92 (1/2)
The four valleys and hall each had their own duties within the Qing-Yun Sect In order to continue having access to the resources the sect provided, they had to contribute an equal a Qi fluctuations and skills, those within the Duanzhen Valley were required to do s chores as their form of contribution
There were two types of such contributions: one was an obligation for the entire valley to craft certain items to hand over to the sect for free, and the other was paid assign spirit tools from other disciples within the sect or even from those outside it Disciples from the Duanzhen Valley would typically make use of the second method to earn resources
The task Tie Rukuang assigned to Fang Xing involved the first type of contribution A set a—was required to be handed in to the sect eachordinary iron a total of nine times, it then became as known as ”Refined Iron” Such a material was rarely seen in the mortal realm, and even a small amount would allow a blacks that could be made with ordinary iron As for those within the Duanzhen Valley, the process of refining iron into Refined Iron was thespecialization, and the task was usually only handed down to around twenty or so of the newest disciples
Fang Xing picked out an eht Early the nextcame over to hand him a jade scroll with twenty-one na you the list of names There is a total of twenty-one people, and each person is required to hand in three pounds of Refined Iron per month This month's total of sixty-three pounds is now up to you to retrieve He will examine all of the Refined Iron you collect afterward; if even one pound is substandard, your resources for the month will be cut Good luck, and do what you need to do,” the daotong added
As soon as the daotong had finished speaking, he stood at the entranceway and si Xing looked at the jade scroll and licked his gu had still not o now!”
”I've brought this to you after so ratitude?” the daotong replied
Fang Xing's eyes widened at that ”Heh, are you trying to extortme to beat you?”
”Dear shi+fu said you'd just ive me a tip!”
This was thehad seen hi here to intentionally take advantage of Fang Xing Fang Xing begrudgingly took out a rade Spirit Stone and casually threw it over ”You little bastard, get out of ht!”
It was now the daotong's turn to have his eyes open wide, and he grabbed ahold of thein excite! You are so very, very generous!” As it so happened, although the daotong had been told by Tie Rukuang he could directly ask for a tip, he had not been expecting it to be so big
What the daotong didn't knoas that after the event fro had collected a rather sizeable fortune There were at least thirty, or even forty e deal Additionally, after having been raised in a bandits' nest, he was used to drinking out of large bowls and distributing large surand scales, to the point it could even be said that he did not have a good grasp on the concept of ”antly until the very last cent, which was the only time he would realize—temporarily—just how important money actually was
”Stop kissing up toi the jade scroll and heading back into his cave However, the daotong seeenerous, I will let you in on a little secret Dear shi+fu said that once you have the nah physical force, but it's unlikely you will successfully complete the task if you really do that You will probably be better off co up with a clever plan instead Yep, that's what he said, so take care!” Then the daotong happily skipped away
This actually left Fang Xing confused There was so Xing could not wrap his nore it for now
With the saber resting on his shoulder, Fang Xing arrived at the cave estate second closest to the valley's entrance It was the residence belonging to one of the people on the list, an inner court disciple that had just joined Duanzhen Valley half a year ago The stone door was open, so Fang Xing walked straight inside and asked, ”Is Liu Huazhang here?”
Inside the residence was a thirty-so man behind a stone bench He looked up and smiled ”May I ask who you are?”
Whirling his [Saber of Azure Dragon] around to frighten thederandfather—a yesterday My na, and I a today, all of the Refined Iron that the sect requires of you will be examined and collected by me If you are unable to commit to this quota by your deadline, I will kill you!”
Liu Huazhang was at first surprised, but soon he was all smiles ”Oh, this, of course It's my duty to fulfill the sect's requirele mistake? I will definitely make sure it is all completed before the deadline!”
”Uhh… As long as you are aware!” Fang Xing was also surprised He hadn't expected this to be so easy, and so he eht that the scene he'd caused the night just before would cause the Duanzhen Valley disciples to nurse soht take the opportunity to teach hi had thus chosen to start his collections through coercion so that everything would bewould keep hi's actions were quite unexpected
