The guest room Li Xuan rented was in the corner of the second floor. The rooms next door all belonged to his subordinates. There was also someone guarding the aisle on the second floor. The entire place was very well guarded.

Therefore, Li Xuan directly walked over and said, “Uncle Li, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?”

“Young Escort Leader, it’s because of the request from the Peony Chamber of Commerce. The matter is somewhat troublesome.”

As Uncle Li spoke, he took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Li Xuan solemnly.

Li Xuan received the note and read it, his expression suddenly becoming solemn.

The note said that the commission item was a carriage of moon stones mixed with a precious cold moon stone. The total value was 100,000 taels of silver.

With such valuable cargo, Li Xuan could not help but become serious.

100,000 taels of silver was already a rather high number in this world. Even Li Xuan coveted it.

In the past, Li Xuan would not have dared to accept this mission at all and could only choose to give up.

However, now that he had reached the seventh level of the Body Refining Realm, the situation had become different.

Now that he was at the seventh level of the Body Refining Realm, coupled with his innate divine power and his foundation as a sharpshooter, he became more confident.

However, there was still a risk. Li Xuan was somewhat hesitant. He thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, “How much is the commission? 5%?”

“No, 10%. However, we need to set off tomorrow. The owner is anxious,” Uncle Li whispered.

“Ten percent? Ten thousand taels!”

Li Xuan was tempted. He was indeed tempted. In the past, he would only receive 5% as their escort fee.

Their White Cloud Escort Agency worked desperately outside and often suffered casualties. They earned the money painfully.

Now that he was being paid such a high price, Li Xuan was really unwilling to give up.

“Uncle Li, go back and rest first. I’ll think about it carefully,” Li Xuan said seriously.

“Yes, Young Escort Leader. By the way, this is the escort route.”

Uncle Li handed an escort route map to Li Xuan before returning to the house to rest.

Li Xuan held the map and looked at it silently, estimating the risk this time.

“Currently, we’re in White Sheep City. The destination of the escort is Zhenbei City. The journey will take a total of five days. On the way, we will encounter two dangerous points.

“One of them is where the Vast Mountain Bandits are located, and the other is a gathering place for Golden Feather Birds. The Vast Mountain Bandits are a motley crowd. They can be dealt with as long as we give them a little money. The only thing we have to pay attention to are the Golden Feather Birds. ”

Li Xuan frowned tightly. The territory of the Golden Feather Birds was huge. There were a lot of them and they were violent. They liked to attack humans and were very difficult to deal with.

In the past few years, every time their White Cloud Escort Agency escorted their clients to Zhenbei City, they had to be careful. If they were careless, they would be attacked by the Golden Feather Birds.

“We’ll just prepare more bird repelling incense and a powerful bow. It shouldn’t be a problem.”

Li Xuan estimated the combat strength of the two sides and was 80% confident in completing the escort mission. He decided to accept this escort mission.

The main reason was that 10,000 taels reward was too enticing. This amount of money was enough for him to buy more Blood Qi Pills and Body Refining Pills. At that time, he could also better nurture Qin Yue.

After Qin Yue’s strength increased, Li Xuan could become stronger. Li Xuan really did not want to give up on such a good deal.

After making up his mind, Li Xuan called Iron Dragon over and got him to buy the black gold bow, black gold arrow, and bird repelling incense. Only then did he turn around and return to his room.

Squeak!

After entering the house, Li Xuan casually closed the door. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw an adorable little girl standing in front of him.

The little girl’s hair was wet. She was wearing a small blue dress and a pair of embroidered shoes. Her pure eyes were pure.

This girl was none other than Qin Yue.

“Master,” Qin Yue said in a soft voice.

“How cute.”

Li Xuan walked over and rubbed Qin Yue’s little head. He discovered that the right side of her face was fair and delicate, like jade.

The only bad thing was that the birthmark on the left side of her face had destroyed her overall image. Moreover, she was very thin and looked very weak.

Gulp! Gulp!

Qin Yue’s stomach rumbled. When he heard the noise, he looked at the shy Qin Yue and smiled.

“The food has been arranged. It’ll be delivered in a while.”

“Yes, yes, I understand, Master.” Qin Yue hurriedly nodded.

“By the way, this is a bottle of Blood Qi Pill. Take one every day. It’s very helpful for your blood circulation.”

Li Xuan took out a small white porcelain bottle and handed it to Qin Yue.

“Thank you, Master.”

Qin Yue carefully received the small porcelain bottle and sized up the exquisite painting on the small porcelain bottle curiously like a curious kitten.

She sized it up for a moment.

Qin Yue took out a light red medicinal pill from the small porcelain bottle and slowly ate it. Then, as she played with the small porcelain bottle, she stood and transferred her blood essence.

“This…”

Li Xuan was stunned when he saw this scene and suffered another blow.

Transferring blood essence was a very rigorous matter. One had to use their full attention in order to transfer it. Under normal circumstances, one would sit cross-legged and find a quiet place to slowly transfer it.

However, now, Qin Yue had transferred it while she was standing. She was even playing with the bottle.

This surprised Li Xuan very much, especially when he saw Qin Yue cultivate and move around without being affected at all.

In other words, as long as her blood essence was abundant, Qin Yue could transfer her blood essence 24 hours a day without affecting her from doing anything else.

This result made Li Xuan feel the importance of talent again.

“Peerless talent is really terrifying. We need to sit cross-legged wholeheartedly when cultivating. It’s not easy for us to cultivate for eight hours a day.

“However, Qin Yue can cultivate non-stop for 24 hours without affecting her daily life. The difference is really unimaginable. ”

Li Xuan’s gaze was complicated as he muttered in his heart, hoping that his talent could also reach the peerless level.

[Ding! Your disciple Qin Yue has successfully reached the first level of the Body Refining Realm. You have received martial arts rewards: Cloud Steps and Cloud Steps comprehension.]

As the mechanical notification sounded, a large amount of knowledge and comprehension surged into Li Xuan’s mind. It was all knowledge regarding the Cloud Steps.

After absorbing this knowledge, Li Xuan’s feet were warm. He felt that he had learned the special combat steps that were as elegant as clouds.

However, Li Xuan did not pay much attention to the reward. Instead, he looked at Qin Yue with a complicated gaze.

This was because Qin Yue had reached the first level of the Body Refining Realm. Her speed was simply as fast as lightning.

Back then, Li Xuan had taken a month to reach the first level, and Iron Dragon and Iron Tiger had taken two months. Those with poor talent could only reach the first level of the Body Refining Realm in a year or two.

The huge difference made Li Xuan realize the importance of talent again. He yearned more and more for his talent to reach the peerless level.

Outside.

In the corridor.

Iron Dragon carried the powerful bow and 100 arrows he had bought and slowly walked to the second floor. He happened to encounter Uncle Li.

“Iron Dragon, why did you buy a bow? Do you plan to learn archery?” Uncle Li was puzzled.

“Young Escort Leader asked me to buy it. Perhaps Young Escort Leader wants to learn archery,” Iron Dragon said truthfully.

“Young Escort Leader? Wait, this is a black gold bow. How can such a powerful bow be used for practicing? That’s impossible, right?” Uncle Li revealed a puzzled expression.

“Uncle Li, can’t one practice with the black gold bow?” Iron Dragon was at a loss.

“A black gold bow is not a simple bow. It requires extremely powerful strength. Even with my strength at the seventh level of the Body Refining Realm, I can’t pull its string. Look.”

Uncle Li took the black gold bow and pulled the string with all his strength, but he was so tired that his forehead was covered in sweat.

This scene shocked Iron Dragon very much. He could not help but say, “What a powerful bow. Strange, Young Escort Leader is clearly at the sixth level of the Body Refining Realm. Why would he ask me to get him such a powerful bow?”
