Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 243 He acts like a gangster, and the real gangsters stand aside
Seeing his junior fellow apprentice's eyes wandering back and forth between the two pieces of paper, Wu Zhe smiled and gave him some pointers.

"The assassin forces of Dingzhou are mainly hidden in Jianshan, Xiyu and Nanyue dynasties. After years of fighting, they have already split into three hidden sects: Bingtai, Langzhu and Suo Ming. This time, Langzhu and Suo Ming were instigated by other forces to destroy the training of Kuxin Road. They thought they had taken advantage of the rules, but in fact they violated the taboo of Xiyuan Holy Land.

"They are a bunch of despicable rats. They usually sneak around to make some extra money. If they don't do anything wrong, we can still tolerate them lingering on. But they choose to make trouble at this time. So we have to kill them before the dark world gate opens."

Xu Yuanchang pondered and asked, "Is there a four-story killer?"

“It used to be there, but it’s gone now.”

Wu Zhe smiled somewhat helplessly.

The killer forces have been repeatedly eliminated and there are other sects behind them.

Even if all three hidden sects can be wiped out, when the war in the dark world is over in the future, it won't take decades for new killer forces to secretly revive.

Because this is an ancient business that is in demand and extremely profitable.

Xu Yuanchang understood that as the war in the dark world approached, the monks from the five-story building in Dingzhou had already gathered, and there were not many monks from the four-story building left in the various dynasties. They had to report their whereabouts at all times. The various forces had no mind to run side businesses and were racking their brains on how to save their lives from the catastrophe. They did not want to be involved and be dispatched to fight in the most dangerous battle and be consumed.

The current killer forces are like some abandoned pawns, and they have to give an explanation to the outside world.

"This mission is not too difficult. We need to dispatch people to attack from all sides. It will take about three years to completely wipe out the remaining killers. It is a very tedious and meticulous job, but the benefits are quite lucrative."

Wu Zhe pointed out the key.

Xu Yuanchang immediately gave up this "not difficult" task.

He has already made a fortune.

What's lacking is time to digest.

He can't afford to waste three years, or even more, at such a critical moment.

Wu Zhe saw his junior brother put down the paper with the task of eliminating the assassin's forces, and continued: "In the secret library of the Monster Hunting Mountain, there is a collection of internal geomancy maps of the Thousand Mountains and Chaos Pit, and even the entrance to the Thousand Holes Cave is marked.

"It has been found out that the woman who pretended to be Mu Ya of the Great Cang Dynasty was a 'yin spirit' condensed from the obsession of a remnant god. The flower basket in her hand was actually a third-level green bamboo snake. She deceived and murdered a passing monk and was hunted by monster hunters. She is currently hiding in the Thousand Holes Cave of the Chaos Pit and dares not go out to harm others, but she must be killed to prevent future troubles."

After listening to what his senior brother said, Xu Yuanchang put down the last piece of paper.

He knew that it would be very difficult to kill the Yin Spirit unless it came out of the chaos pit.

The rabbit in the Magic Fairy Ring was like a cat smelling fish. It came out of its nest and shouted, "This mission is tailor-made for you. You will definitely be able to capture the Yin God easily with the Magic Fairy Ring after a single encounter. This can be considered as a good deed."

Xu Yuanchang ignored the urgency shown by Rabbit and said, "Brother, I'm afraid this task will also take a long time?"

"Yes, that Yin God is very slippery, and he has the advantage of the terrain. If you want to kill him, it will take three or two years to slowly kill him. You can't rush it. Before the old mountain master left the Monster Capture Mountain, he deliberately issued the task of killing or capturing the Yin God as a more difficult task.

"The Chaos Pit covers an area of ​​over a hundred miles, and the Thousand Holes Cave has an extremely complex terrain. We cannot use our spiritual sense yet. If the demon hunter is alone or careless, he will be attacked immediately. Currently, the demon hunter has left the Chaos Pit and wants to use the method of lure to capture the Yin God."

After analyzing the situation, Wu Zhe suggested, "If you want to complete the mission in a short period of time, you can go to other ancestral holy places. As long as it is a deacon-level mission, it is open to you and can be done regardless of the restrictions of the portals. "

He added with a smile: "If I want to give you guys a generous reward, I have to find a reasonable reason."

Xu Yuanchang understood what he meant, thanked his senior brother for his care, and stood up to say goodbye.

The rabbit kept shouting, "What do you mean? You are guarding against me like a thief. I am really doing this for your own good and my own sake. Otherwise, if you died, how would I be able to survive?"

"It's pointless if you keep doing this. You're pretending to be dumb, right? You're sealing the ring so I can't hear anything, right? Then I'll just give up and not care about your shit anymore. I'll watch you die. Then I'll go to the unlucky guy who picked up the ring and I can easily fool him. It's better than being annoyed by you and getting into trouble. You'll be in trouble both inside and outside."

Flying to the foot of the Monster Catching Mountain, Xu Yuanchang listened to the rabbit's devilish voice that was piercing his ears with its non-repetitive nagging, and he retorted with a word.

"Friend Li, can someone just pick up the ring and easily make it recognize its owner? This is a divine weapon, do you think it's a cabbage on the street?"

The rabbit was stunned and speechless.

The rabbit's gem-like eyeballs moved flexibly a few times, and it showed the duck's stubborn and unyielding spirit.

"So what? Once you go to the dark world, you will find yourself in danger and in danger of your life at any time. I will not save you and let you die. At worst, I will sleep for a thousand years. I will be able to escape one day, and your bones will have rotted into ashes by then..."

"Stop, stop!"

Xu Yuanchang couldn't stand Rabbit's sharp tongue and unreasonableness.

This guy doesn't have any dignity of a senior who is thousands of years old. He is a typical street thug.

Still calling yourself elegant? What elegance!

No wonder he was dismembered and suppressed.

Rabbits have a way of seeking death, it's so annoying.

"Let's have a good talk. Don't keep threatening me with death. If you keep threatening me with death, it will backfire. I'll sink the ring into the manure pit when I'm angry. I don't expect you to help me anyway. Don't you think that makes sense?"

It's disgusting, right? It seems everyone would be the same.

When he acts like a gangster, even real gangsters have to acknowledge him as the boss.

The rabbit blinked his innocent eyes and said, "I now believe that you are the apprentice of the old man. That old man... forget it, let's not talk about those gossips. We should have a good talk."

He raised his rabbit foot forelimb, pointed at his nose, and said: "The old man has planned everything for me. He tricked me into the dark world. I can't just stand by and watch. I must do my best to deal with the damn black spirit. You, the unlucky guy, were also tricked by the old man. He cultivates the way of the world, and you are a link in his path to enlightenment.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. When you survive the catastrophe and improve your cultivation level, you will have plenty of time to understand it in the future. Don't think that like-minded people are necessarily 'good people'. People like him think about the world, and their own people often suffer."

After a lot of outrage, Rabbit tried to make the two of them resonate with each other.

However, after waiting for a long time, all he got was loneliness, and the Taoist priest didn't say a word.

Rabbit finally came to his conclusion: "So we two share the same suffering, we are grasshoppers tied to the same rope. I am helping you for my own sake. You don't have to doubt this. If you can survive the catastrophe, I will complete my merits and be liberated and ascend to heaven. It's that simple."

Xu Yuanchang pondered for a moment. There was something hidden in Rabbit's words, such as interests and motives.

But what the rabbit said was right about one thing. From the time the rabbit was suppressed to the time he escaped eight thousand years later and then fell into the pit of the Fantasy Fairy Ring, he was passive everywhere. He was indeed no match for Taoist Yanshan. The difference in Taoism was too great.

The notorious beast doesn't seem so scary now that Taoist Master Yanshan can subdue it.

Besides, the rabbit locked in the Fantasy Fairy Ring cannot escape from the artifact space. As long as he grasps this point firmly, his life will be safe.

As for entering the dark world and encountering a black spirit master who is in danger of one's life, there is no need to worry about whether or not to release the rabbit to rescue the person.

His life is about to be lost, but he still considers the consequences.

After coming up with new ideas, Xu Yuanchang's attitude slightly changed. He said, "Fellow Daoist Li, let's put the mission of the Chaos Pit in the Thousand Mountains and Hills aside for now. That cunning Yin Spirit is hiding in the Thousand Holes Cave. Unless a master from the Fourth Floor comes forward, it will not be killed within three to five years. I have something urgent to do right now. I will go to the Chaos Pit when I am free in the future."

The rabbit immediately decided: "You said it, and it's a sure thing. Okay, then I'll wait a few years."

He didn't have to deal with the little third-level Yin God.

He coveted the rare treasures inside.

Except for the Chaos God Tomb where the remains of gods are buried, no other places produce it.

"What do you want to gain from the Chaos Pit? Can you tell me so that I can have an idea?"

Xu Yuanchang asked directly.

There is no point in hiding things, and rabbits will not get angry and insist on doing things that have no benefits.

But before going to the Chaos Pit, he had to look through the relevant geomancy maps and materials on the Monster Hunting Mountain to understand the terrain and where the dangers were. He would not rely on the rabbit to shoulder all his safety, as that would mean death. He also did not need the rabbit to teach him how to do things.

At all times, he must maintain independent thinking and opinions.

The rabbit was immediately in high spirits. He waited for the little Taoist to ask about this topic, and waited until the flowers withered. He shouted, "There is nothing that cannot be said. When the time comes, you can help me pick up a few high-quality 'God-Condensing Stones' and collect a few 'God-Separating Fruits'. The rest will be yours. I need to rebuild my body, and I am short of many materials. The Chaos God Tomb is a good place. You will know when you go there."

He habitually threw out the bait, paused, and then struck while the iron was hot: "Then we'll go to the bottom of Wuya Lake again and collect some fifth- and sixth-level materials..."

Xu Yuanchang immediately interrupted Rabbit's wishful thinking and said, "Friend Li, don't push your luck. Just do what's best. I'm not interested in Wuya Lake."

He felt that the underwater bottom of the lake was more dangerous than the Chaos Tombs where the gods were buried.

This was the mountain gate of a super sect back then. Thousands of years have passed. If there were any good things left, there must have been an incredible protective formation. With his insignificant cultivation, would he just rush in and die?
Otherwise, it would have been completely dismantled by our predecessors, and not even a trace would be left.

Why is he still going to fight?
When he becomes stronger in the future, there will indeed be treasures he needs at the bottom of the lake. We can talk about it later, but it’s not possible now.

"Okay, okay, we'll discuss it later."

The rabbit saw that he couldn't get away with it, so he decided to quit.

There is no need to annoy the Taoist priest.

There is a lot of time left, and we must take one step at a time.

Xu Yuanchang went straight to the hall where tasks were issued on Tianzhen Mountain, showed his ID card, got a stack of task lists, sat down and slowly looked through them. He was the Taoist priest who was best at calculating on paper and breaking formations on Monster Catching Mountain.

Since there is no restriction on any background, any task can be done.

Of course he had to come to Tianzhen Mountain to try his luck.

Maybe he could solve those extremely difficult calculation problems that other formation masters had?
When the time comes, you can earn the reward by lying down, complete the task, and then return to Daning to live a carefree life for a few years.

Why not try a different approach?

There were ten very difficult deacon-level formation master tasks. After flipping through them for a while, Chief Xu Yuan immediately found three formation calculation questions. They were extremely complicated, but the essence remained the same.

He calculated silently for a while and was very confident that he could get two of them, and it wouldn't take too long.

God took pity on his empty and poor purse and gave him a reward.

If you don't take what heaven gives you, you will be struck by thunder instead.

"Xu Yuanchang!"

A woman's voice was filled with inexplicable surprise, and the fragrance drifted over, already next to Xu Yuanchang who was sitting quietly in the corner. The woman leaned over to watch without showing any concern, and said happily: "Caiqin and I were just about to take on a mission, it's such a coincidence that we met here again. Xu Yuanchang, the three of us can work together to complete the mission, how about we help you?"

The person who came was Xue Chunni, his eyes full of a burning desire for knowledge.

Meng Caiqin followed and quickly set up a soundproofing barrier so as not to disturb other people in the hall and prevent others from overhearing their conversation. She gave an apologetic look to Xu Yuanchang who was smiling and motioning, and pulled the impetuous Xue Chunni to sit down.

She had already advanced to the middle stage of the third floor on the path of hard work, the first one in their group.

"Friend Xu, we have already inquired about it. The total reward for doing the task together, limited to three people, is far more than the reward for one person taking the task. Chunni and I don't want the reward. Can you take us to do it together?"

"Yes, yes, we are not greedy for the reward, we just want to learn a little from you..."

Xue Chunni added tactfully, and then her friend stepped on the instep of her foot to stop her from causing more trouble.

Xu Yuanchang suddenly thought of the "World Dao" followed by Taoist Master Yanshan, whom Rabbit despised. This old master had already gone to the upper realm for thousands of years, but he was still worrying about the life and death of creatures in the lower realm.

He smiled and nodded. As catastrophe was approaching, he decided to teach the two some of the advanced arithmetic knowledge he knew, instead of keeping it to himself.

With their solid arithmetic foundation, it was not difficult for them to understand after being pointed out. He said, "Let's take these two tasks first. You have to follow me to the Monster Capture Mountain. I wonder if it would be convenient for you two?"

"It's convenient. It's convenient to go anywhere. Haha, Xu Yuanzhang, you're a good person."

Xue Chunni was very happy to grab the two pieces of paper and ran to the counter like the wind to register the tasks for the three people.

She has been thinking about Fellow Daoist Xu for a long time.

All three of them signed to complete the formalities and walked out of the hall side by side.

"Shall we go now?"

"Let's go, time is running out, let's not delay any longer."

Xu Yuanchang smiled as he flew towards the Monster-Catching Mountain and chatted animatedly with Xue Chunni who was accompanying him.

Meng Caiqin watched the two of them exchanging common sense about breaking formations. She was a little surprised at the change in Brother Xu. From what she heard from Director Xu Yuan, it seemed that he wanted to teach them how to calculate formation problems without being bound by sectarian bias.

Because Shanni is so beautiful?
It shouldn’t be the case. Brother Xu is not a superficial person.

Meng Caiqin was very happy to have the opportunity to learn advanced arithmetic skills.

Of course, she will find an opportunity to repay this favor to Fellow Daoist Xu in the future.

Only when there is give and take can we get along for a long time.

The group flew to a three-courtyard house on the Monster Catching Mountain site. After setting up a protective formation in the yard, Liu Xianfeng, who was practicing stick techniques, opened the gate and invited the two guests in with a smile.

When she heard that Fellow Daoist Xu and the two women had received a mission from Tianzhen Mountain, which would take about twenty days to solve two formation problems, Liu Xianfeng immediately decided to go into seclusion for a while.

After absorbing the green wine given by the Qingli Mountain God, plus the top-quality Hundred Flowers Wine obtained from the Secret Realm of Flowers, it should be enough for her to advance to the middle stage of the third level.

After saying hello to Xu Yuanchang privately, Liu Xianfeng went to the backyard to make arrangements and then went into seclusion.

She can't let Fellow Daoist Xu fall too far behind.

Xu Yuanchang asked the two to re-copy the dazzlingly complex formation diagram several times, while he sorted out the calculations and tried to find a clue.

Over the next twenty days, he discussed and exchanged calculation diagrams with the two and provided comprehensive guidance on arithmetic. His actions were subtle, unobtrusive, and gradual.

Xue Chunni and Meng Caiqin were overjoyed.

They have rich practical experience, wide range of knowledge, solid foundation and the ability to apply knowledge to other areas.

They gained something new every day, and they worked day and night to study new knowledge.

They repeatedly deduced and debated about right and wrong, and encouraged each other, just like when they first started learning the formation.

The only thing that was a bit difficult for Xu Yuanchang was to convert some numerical symbols from his previous life into the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and Taoist runes in this world. In addition, there were matrices and linear equations, which were more difficult for them to understand.

He had to start from the beginning.

Like the Nine Palaces, number arrays, number series, etc., you can understand them at a glance.

By the time Liu Xianfeng successfully advanced to the next level, Xu Yuanchang had also "completed" the task of drawing two formation diagrams.

I can finally go home.
