C38 A Touch of the Fingertip

"Which area is the mission posted in?"

"Area 5!"

After buying the Shadow Spear, Chu Hen instantly became a 'poor person'.

Imperial Capital was a place that you could spend too much money. Imperial Capital was something that a small Huoyan City could compare with.

In the current situation, Chu Hen had no choice but to accept missions.

"Do you want to accept a mission?"

A gentle female voice came from behind the counter. It was a beautiful woman in her twenties.

Chu Hen nodded, "Yes, what kind of missions do you have recently?"

"This was just released today. You can take a look."

She took out a tome and placed it in front of Chu Hen. With a trace of curiosity, Chu Hen turned to the first page.

"Fresh snake gall from a Nine Section Snake, 20 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones for trade."

"Twin Black Ganoderma, 30 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones for trade."

"Young ferret, 80 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones for trade."

After going through a few pages, Chu Hen finally understood there was no mission in the tome at all. It was obviously just a trade list. As long as you have the things above, you can get the price accordingly.

It was easier to understand.

"15 High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones?"

When Chu Hen reached the last page, he couldn't help but be stunned. He once again carefully examined it to confirm that he didn't see it wrong.

Blood Rare Crystal Lotus, 15 High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones for trade.

Chu Hen, who was born in General's Mansion, had heard of the 'Blood Rare Crystal Lotus'.

This was a strange flower that grew in the damp and gloomy forest. Blood Rare Crystal Lotus absorbed the nutrients from the dead animals. When it bloomed, it looked like a lotus. Its color looked like blood and it was grotesque yet enchanting.

Blood Rare Crystal Lotus also had a wide range of effects. It could detoxify hundreds of poisons, treat old diseases, heal new injuries, strengthen one's physique and improve one's Cultivation…

A single Blood Rare Crystal Lotus was indeed worth 15 High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones.

15 High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones. Chu Hen thought, if he could find a Blood Rare Crystal Lotus, he would be able to buy his favorite 'Golden Python Anti-Scale Spear', and the remaining Elemental Crystal Stones would also be able to sustain him for a relatively long time.

However, to obtain a treasure like the Blood Rare Crystal Lotus, it was not enough just to have the ability. It still required a lot of luck.

"Where can I find Blood Rare Crystal Lotus? Can you tell me a little bit about it?" Chu Hen casually asked.

The beautiful woman, who received him, smiled and said, "I'm not sure where you can find this. "However, I heard that Blood Rare Crystal Lotus appeared in the 'Boneless Mountain Range' before."

Boneless Mountain Range!

A dangerous mountain one hundred kilometers north of Imperial Capital City.

Countless Demonic Beasts, poisonous insects, snakes, ants, and strange flowers and herbs, large and small, lived there. Explorers often went there to hunt Demonic Beasts and obtain their beast cores.

There were also students from great High-Class Martial Mansions who would often train there, fight with Demonic Beasts, and absorb their combat experience.

Of course, very few people dared to venture deeper into the mountain range. Most of them were in the outer regions.

"In addition to the missions in the list, we also accept beast cores of Demonic Beasts. You can kill some little Demonic Beasts and sell some beast cores to us."

The woman across from him said.

Chu Hen smiled slightly, and asked, "Do I need to register to receive missions?"

"It's not necessary. As long as you bring the items here, you can make a trade. However, there is a time limit for the launched mission. If you take too much time, and missed the deadline. We will negotiate the purchase at 80% of the original transaction price."

"I got it!"

Chu Hen nodded. He immediately remembered the most of the missions, and then left.

He didn't expect that he would be 'forced to make a living' so soon.

A helpless smile appeared on Chu Hen's face. But it was not like there were no benefits at all. There were a lot of Little Demons and low-level Great Demons around the Boneless Mountain Range. He could take advantage of this opportunity to increase his combat ability.

With the matter settled, Chu Hen was ready to leave.

Just then, an ornament on the counter of Area 2 caught Chu Hen's attention.

It was a blue woman's bracelet, with a sapphire shaped like a crescent moon embedded in it. The bracelet was extremely exquisite. It did not have any vulgarity of ordinary jewels, and it looked especially fresh and elegant.

Looking at this blue colored bracelet, Chu Hen immediately remembered a cute and obedient face.

Ye Yao!

Previously, when he was at the Young Sect College, she was a little girl who always followed Chu Hen.

He realized that he hadn't spoken to Ye Yao again ever since the night he had been framed by Liu Xiao. Even when he was at Ye Family that time, he left in a hurry.

Chu Hen remembered that Ye Yao had a blue bracelet in the past and it was said that it was a birthday present given by her sister Ye You.

But Ye Yao accidentally lost the bracelet, so she still cried for two hours.

Chu Hen had promised her at the time that he would give her an identical bracelet as a gift on Ye Yao’s next birthday.

However, no one would have thought that what happened afterwards would be so unexpected that he had to time to understand the whole thing.

Ye Yao should still be in the Huoyan City now!

Will they meet again?

Even if they met again, would they still be able to face each other, laughing and playing like old days?

Only if all those things had not happened.

Chu Hen laughed with a self-deprecation, and they could not treat each other like the past. He could only say that in his heart, Ye Yao would always be his little sister and he did owe her a present.

Immediately, Chu Hen walked towards the counter in front of him.

He then reached his hand out to grab the blue bracelet, wanting to buy it. He would give it to Ye Yao when he had the chance in the future.

However, at the same time, a delicate, snow-white hand stretched out from the other side.

Without knowing it, Chu Hen touched that beautiful hand at the same time. Chu Hen could not help but be startled, as a trace of a strange feeling was transmitted from the tip of his fingers.

Then, the two withdrew their hands.

Chu Hen turned to look, and the first thing that entered his eyes was a young girl that was as beautiful as a fairy.

This was an especially beautiful young girl. She wore a long white dress that accentuated her tall and exquisite figure. She had long, slender eyebrows, limpid eyes, and her small lips looked like cherries and were exceptionally alluring.

In addition to her elegant and refined temperament, she was like a fairy that had just stepped out of the painting.

Chu Hen was actually dumbstruck, and couldn't recover himself for a while.

The girl's beautiful eyes slightly moved. She looked at Chu Hen with a strange expression. Her red lips slightly parted, and her voice was light and pleasant. "Do you like this bracelet too?"

"Hmm?" Chu Hen immediately retracted his gaze, "I…"

"Mengchang, we should go."

Chu Hen was unable to finish his words, and a clear and melodious female voice sounded.

He saw another a young woman with delicate features waving towards her.

"Alright, I'll be there right away." Then, she glanced at the blue bracelet on the counter, and turned around to leave.

"Mengchang, who is that person?"

"I don't know!"

"Alright! Hurry up and go back! If Mentor Honglian knew that we sneaked out today, she would probably scold us again."

"It can't be. Mentor Honglian is rather gentle!"

"Tsk, that's for you, but it's not the same for us."
