First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 31: Invitation

"Fifty Spirit Stones as compensation?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo became interested.

"That's right, fifty Spirit Stones, for a duration of two months. If you encounter any illusionary stone spirits during your night patrol, or if you find any gold-devouring rats sneaking into the mining area, you don't need to take action, I will handle it myself. If you want to refine pills or make talismans, there is plenty of time for that as well. Your only task is to accompany me and guard the area."

Chen Mengze's words made him even more excited.

"Of course I'll go."

Fifty Spirit Stones for two months, even for an inner disciple, it was a good task.

He had nothing else to do, and he had planned to stay in the sect for these two months, focusing on pill refining and talisman making to further improve his skills in these two areas.

Now, seeing this task where he could earn fifty Spirit Stones without having to do much work, he naturally accepted it gladly.

It wouldn't delay his own time, where else would he refine pills?

The only question was, why would someone come to him for such an easy task?

Shen Mo thought about it and felt that Chen Mengze was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although they hadn't seen each other often and had become somewhat unfamiliar, now was a good opportunity for his childhood friend to bring some warmth to him.

Thinking like this, Chen Mengze's image in his heart became even more adorable.

"Well, since you agree to go, it's settled. Today, in the afternoon at three o'clock, meet me at the forge on the right side of the mountain gate square."

After saying that, she didn't say goodbye and turned to leave.

"Before going on a business trip, I need to prepare well!"

After watching her leave, Shen Mo looked around the room and started packing.

Spirit herbs, fine brushes, beast blood, sandalwood ink, yellow paper, various materials for pill refining and talisman making, were all packed into his storage bag, ready to be used when guarding the Xuanjing mining area.

"These items are easy to carry, but..." Shen Mo's gaze fell on the red cloud cauldron in the center of the room, and he felt a headache. "This cauldron is too big, my storage bag is too small to fit it."

"I should go to the market, it's time to upgrade my storage bag."

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Mo decided to go to the market and buy a new storage bag.

The one he was currently using was the Initiation-level storage bag that the sect provided for free to all outer disciples during their initiation.

The space was too small.

The previous Shen Mo could still manage with it.

But now, with more experiences and more things learned and acquired, the storage bag couldn't keep up with his development.

He arrived at the market area.

Linjiang Pavilion was a sect-owned establishment specifically set up in the market area.

This place specialized in selling various exotic treasures and was the only place in the market area where storage bags were sold.

"Shopkeeper, how much does this storage bag cost?"

Shen Mo glanced at the storage bag area and quickly spotted a pure white bag with delicate cloud patterns embroidered on it.

"This is a high-grade storage bag, with an internal space of one hundred cubic meters. It is the most advanced storage bag available here."

"If we talk about the price, it's five high-grade Spirit Stones."

The shopkeeper stood behind the counter and glanced at it from afar, then said.

"Five high-grade Spirit Stones?"

Shen Mo was shocked when he heard the price and quickly put it back carefully.

"This price is too high. I'm afraid only the sect's elders and some highly ranked direct disciples can afford it."

The exchange rate between one high-grade Spirit Stone and one low-grade Spirit Stone was one to one hundred.

The price of five medium-grade Spirit Stones is equivalent to five hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.

This value could buy countless low-level spiritual medicines, spiritual talismans, and Heavenly and Mortal Treasures.

It is truly something he cannot afford.

"Where is the low-grade Qiankun Bag?"

"In the bottom right corner, the leftmost column, all of them are low-grade Qiankun Bags," the shopkeeper pursed his lips and said, "These Qiankun Bags have an internal space of twenty cubic meters, and they are priced at fifty low-grade Spirit Stones each."

At this price, Shen Mo could reluctantly afford it.

Yesterday, he sold all the talismans and elixirs he had recently refined, and after searching his home for a while, he currently had fifty-four Spirit Stones on him.

"I'll take it." Shen Mo took out most of his wealth and successfully exchanged it for this black and white Qiankun Bag embroidered with a Taiji diagram.

"With this item, not to mention the Red Cloud Pill Cauldron, I can even take away all the furniture in my house."

He couldn't stop playing with this newly purchased Qiankun Bag, loving it.

After returning from the market, Shen Mo immediately performed a blood contract, imprinting his own Divine Sense mark on the Qiankun Bag.

This kind of Divine Sense imprint is equivalent to the lock screen password of a mobile phone in his previous life. Once the imprint is completed, only he can open it.

If others want to forcefully open it, they need to erase his Divine Sense imprint.

And this is not easy.

Because in order to forcibly erase someone else's Divine Sense imprint, their Cultivation Base must be at least one realm higher than the person who left the imprint.

"Whoosh!"

He lightly tapped the handle of the Red Cloud Pill Cauldron and thought.

The pill cauldron standing in the room suddenly disappeared and was stored in the Qiankun Bag.

After storing the pill cauldron, he searched his home and put in everything he felt he would need during these two months.

The internal space of this newly purchased storage bag was spacious, unlike the several tens of centimeters of storage space provided by the sect.

He also rarely enjoyed the luxury of not having to calculate the quantity of items to be stored tightly and could just pack as much as he wanted.

"I have basically gathered everything."

"Next, there is only one task left!"

After taking away everything he needed, he came to a corner of the westernmost part of the house.

He squatted down and moved the bricks embedded in the ground.

An underground passage appeared in this area.

Shen Mo walked down the secret passage, and the underground space was a small area of about ten square meters.

There was only an old-fashioned Eight Immortals table inside.

On the table were the spiritual soil and the still-growing Purple Yang Zhu Guo.

This underground cellar was dug by himself yesterday.

The purpose was to hide the Purple Yang Zhu Guo.

Because the fruit was not yet mature and couldn't be stored in the storage bag, it could only be placed outside.

But if he openly displayed it in his home, it would attract too much attention.

So he dug a cellar to hide the fruit.

"But just having a cellar is still not safe!"

He remembered Chen Shu's reminder.

Sect Spirit Sea realm experts have extremely powerful Divine Sense, and with a single thought, they can patrol in all directions and travel through the void.

Although the cellar can isolate the naked eye, it is difficult to block the probing of Divine Sense.

Therefore, in order to avoid attracting the attention of powerful individuals within the sect due to the abundant Spiritual Qi released during the growth period of the Purple Yang Zhu Guo.

On this trip to the market to purchase a new Qiankun Bag, he also brought back something else.
