0684_Travel Project

Pei Cen struggled for a while, then asked cautiously: "Is it possible? Will it be troublesome? I would be too ashamed to disturb Elder Pei Ji."

Me: "If you want to see him, it will be more difficult."

Pei Cen: "Don't ever see him. Elder Pei Ji looks majestic just by looking at the photo. Every time I see his image, I have the urge to kneel down. It's Senior Lin who looks at him with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, so close."

...For the first time, someone described my face with benevolent brows and kind eyes.

Pei Cen: "Is that entrusted as a task? How is the travel fee calculated?"

...There are indeed such commissioned projects, but what I meant was... Well, it's still money and goods, clearly, at most I will give you a blood price.

Me: "Can you read jade slips?"

Pei Cen: "It's a bit difficult, but a small amount is fine."

I took out a small jade slip and gave it to her: "Then try it, this is the price list of the tourism project."

Pei Cen took it nervously, and read it with a somewhat unfamiliar posture.I guess she can't read the jade slips while listening to my explanation, so I waited quietly. After 5 minutes, she put down the jade slips tiredly, and said to me with a wry smile: "It's so expensive. If you go to Yunxiazong, The spirit stones I have saved are still far behind, if I want them from my family, it seems not very good to entrust such a thing that is only beneficial to me with a large sum of spirit stones."

Me: "Because these tourism projects are the result of a compromise with the mortal world, in fact, all sects do not welcome mortals to come to the cultivation world with the mentality of tourism, so the prices are set very high, just to scare away mortals. But you have already practiced Qi , counting as half a monk, if you want to visit the world of comprehension, you can say that you are looking for goals for future development, not pure tourism, there is an internal price."

Pei Cen listened very carefully.

Me: "So, did you decide to go to Yunxiazong? Yunxiazong is quite big. It will take a lot of time to visit all of it, otherwise you can just pass by in a flash. And for this kind of visiting task, Yunxiazong allows a maximum of three days." God. So you'd better choose a peak to see. Personally, I recommend looking at the main peak, which is the most beautiful. You may be more interested in Jianxiu Peak where Elder Pei is, but I must say that Jianxiu Peak is bare and has no scenery, and The weather is harsh, and you have to activate the defensive magic weapon for a long time to ensure that your body can withstand it. If you must see it, it is recommended to look at the whole thing from a distance, it is quite majestic and majestic, and the visual effect is much better than close-up."

Regardless of the fact that some of the new disciples of Yunxiazong arrived at Jianxiu Peak at a very young age, and many of them have only cultivated Qi and have not even started to practice, but these children are extremely talented, and they are already ready to polish their bones, and even if they are , When I was young, I often needed magic weapon defense, such as when I was sleeping.

It was the same when I was a child. Sometimes I used weapons to defend, and sometimes my father blocked it for me. It wasn't until the middle stage of Qi training that I could completely resist the harsh environment by myself.In addition, my initial stage of Qi training is not the same as that of Pei Cen. After all, I am the master of the Ice Spirit Root, and the damage to me from the cold is relatively small. Moreover, my foundation before the Qi training period is also stronger than that of Pei Cen. a lot of.My father has been training me according to the standards of sword cultivators from the very beginning, and the physical fitness of sword cultivators is well-known in the whole cultivation world.

0685_Qingyinya

Pei Cen hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What if I go to Qingyinya?"

Me: "I'm not very familiar with Qingyinya, I only know some superficial information, but they don't have a record of exclusion. Ordinary tourism projects, as long as the fee is paid enough, they will definitely follow the rules. You are in the Qi training period and you have left Yinxiu It's even more impossible for them to stop you."

Pei Cen: "However, my spirit stone is still a bit lower than the standard charge of Qingyinya. I am a sound repairer during the Qi training period. How much discount can they give?"

Me: "It's hard to say, each sect has different styles. To be on the safe side, I can help you get together the entrance fee first. It would be best if they partially refund it. If you don't refund it, you can work for me for a while to pay off the debt."

Pei Cen's brows and eyes crooked with a smile: "Okay. I'm not being polite to Senior Lin either. Please give me your orders. Please take care of the time to go to Qingyinya."

It's nothing to worry about. The work of the office in the mortal world doesn't need to stay in the office all the time. Several people work in shifts. As long as there is something to do, they can get back quickly when they are notified.

Because sometimes you need to rush back quickly, it is not recommended to leave too far even if you are on vacation, but in fact, there is usually nothing that requires people on vacation to rush back urgently. Even if it happens occasionally, it is not necessary for all people on vacation to rush back.After all, most of the trivial matters in the office are either automatically handled by magical instruments, or are actually done by hired mortal staff. The monks only look at the entrustment applications submitted, and only do it themselves when they see that there is a need for monks to do it.

So I told my colleagues that it is not a big problem to leave for three to five days.

"Go to Second Young Master, it's fun." They sent me off like this.

Hmm... I really came to work seriously.

0686_Family training

Pei Cen was going to visit Qingyinya, in fact, he should go directly to Qingyinya's mission office website to book tickets, and then wait in line.

Yes, there is a queue.Although the ticket price is high, there are also many local tyrants who are idle in the mortal world. There are always some people who don't want the best but the most expensive. Let alone tickets for second-rate schools, they even buy tickets for Kunlun.

Really, it would be nice to have the spare money to buy some magic tools, but I chose to visit some scenic spots in a hurry-really only a little, the tour guides of each sect took tourists around some places that would not affect the normal activities of the disciples of the sect, At the same time, tourists are not allowed to do this, and tourists are not allowed to watch that. They also directly hang the countdown in front of tourists with a cold face, and sometimes even say that tourists are not welcome.

I can't see anything when I'm angry. People keep signing up and paying for this project. Where are there so many masochists?

For ordinary people, the most cost-effective places to visit are actually the low-end martial arts, with low ticket fees, decent service attitude, scenic views, and souvenirs. Everyone is happy.It's a pity that the local tyrants despise the unpopular sects and are too close to the people, and generally they don't like it. They always stare at the top ten, trying to find anger.

Now that Pei Cen entrusts Yunxiazong to take her to visit Qingyinya, she is not limited to Qingyinya's frequency of receiving mortals, and can jump in the queue, but not only has to pay the entrance fee for Qingyinya, but also Yunxiazong's entrustment fee.Probably because she had never considered entrusting Yunxiazong's affairs, Pei Cen was not familiar with the entrusting process, so she didn't realize at the beginning that her visit fee should include two parts, and she even paid for one of them. I need my help with the expenses.

Before we set off, though, she belatedly thought about it.

"The entrustment fee...how is it calculated?" She asked me stupidly.

Me: "I asked for leave to accompany you, it's not included in the task."

Pei Cen: "... I will cause trouble to Senior Lin as soon as we meet... I... will kneel down to Elder Pei Ji when I get back."

Where is the logic?

Pei Cen: "There is also a mission commission fee, please tell me, I really don't mean to take advantage of you..."

Me: "Okay, let's see if Qingyinya accepts the entrance fee. I want to ask you to collect the debt, can you still escape?"

Pei Cen said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid you won't accept it. I know you don't lack these spirit stones, but if you take care of me too much, it will make me very uneasy. There is a saying in my family that until the end of the world, I will never give it to Elder Pei." Trouble."

Me: "This family training is good, it helps self-examination."

Pei Cen: "The main reason is that we can't provide help to Elder Pei. If we rely on him alone, we must be more cautious, otherwise we will be disgusted sooner or later. So this family motto is mainly for self-protection, so that the backer does not abandon us."

I applaud.

Pei Cen: "..."

Is this palm full of sarcasm?

"I just think the idea is sober. Upvote." I explained.

Pei Cen looked at me half-crying and half-smiling: "Thank you."

0687_ a little taste

After arriving at Qingyinya, Pei Cen and I got off the flying boat and walked to the gatekeeper disciple.

Me: "Pei Lin in the foundation-building period of Yunxiazong, accept the entrustment of Pei Cen, a Taoist fellow in the Qi training period who intends to develop in the direction of music cultivation, and bring her to visit your sect." After finishing speaking, I handed over the standard entrance fee to the gatekeeper disciple.

The gatekeeper disciple took the spirit stone and said: "Friend Pei Daoist, please wait a moment."

A moment later, a foundation-building disciple of Qingyinya greeted us and invited us to enter Qingyinya. At the same time, the gatekeeper returned the ticket money to me.

The foundation builder said: "Being a fellow Taoist means communicating with each other, not traveling, and there is no tourist attraction fee."

Me: "But there are still tour guides."

The foundation builder smiled and said, "I don't charge tour guide fees either. My name is Diao Ye, and I'm a sound repairer in the foundation builder."

Hearing his self-introduction, Pei Cen looked at him with bright eyes.

Diao Ye: "Which direction is Fellow Daoist Pei Cen planning to cultivate?"

Pei Cen pursed his lips nervously: "Speak. I want to fix the rhythm when I speak."

Diao Ye tasted it for a few seconds: "It smells a little bit."

Pei Cen's face was full of joy, and after trying his best to control it, he said without losing his voice: "Thank you."

Diao Ye smiled, and I poured cold water on Pei Cen for him: "But the progress of cultivation is not as good as the sound itself. Unless you build a foundation, it is not considered a sound cultivation. You will develop more if you find a program as the host in the mortal world potential."

Pei Cen froze: "Yes..."

Diao Ye: "Hey, it's not that desperate. At what age did Fellow Daoist Pei Cen start practicing?"

Pei Cen: "...start with memorization."

Diao Ye: "...At this time, let's go to the bell tower and listen to the bells up close."

Pei Cen: "..."

I feel like I lack sympathy, why do I just want to laugh when I look at Pei Cen's bitter face?It should be because Pei Cen's face is more troubled than disappointed?
