#77 - Chapter 77 Mission

Since I know I'm still short on money, the martial arts gym's tasks are the only way to help myself right now.

Wang Tianshan didn't ask me to go on tasks before, and Cheng Feng didn't bother to care.

It's best not to go if possible.

It's a disadvantage to get into conflicts without enough strength.

But now, with the Blood Refinement Realm and Basic Saber Technique (Proficient 123 / 200), and the Silver Feather Saber, a high-quality weapon that can cut hair with a breath,

Cheng Feng is confident that he has weaknesses now, but not many.

He's reached the point where he can take action.

Cheng Feng also knows that it's wrong to shut himself off, but Cheng Feng's panel talent is here, and what's most beneficial is clear at a glance.

And now, Cheng Feng feels that he should be very OK.

Not just ordinary strong.

After all, no one knows about his Blood Refinement Realm except Wang Tianshan.

Strength is Cheng Feng's greatest trump card.

Isn't it reasonable for a Blood Refinement Realm expert to take on a Skin Refining Realm task!

This isn't pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger; it's just valuing his little life.

Returning to the martial arts gym, he went straight to his master.

Fortunately, Wang Tianshan was still there.

Cheng Feng complimented him a couple of times and directly stated his intention: "Master, do you think I should also participate in some tasks?"

"What's wrong? Did someone gossip outside, making you unable to listen?" Wang Tianshan knew Cheng Feng's temperament; he was wholeheartedly devoted to martial arts, diligent and earnest. Why would he come looking for tasks if nothing was wrong?

"I'm wholeheartedly devoted to martial arts, so I naturally won't be influenced by others. It's just that I've recently felt that my realm improvement is slow, and I want to go out and relax," Cheng Feng naturally wouldn't say that he was short on money. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if his master didn't take the bait?

Wang Tianshan was speechless upon hearing this: "Your realm improvement is slow? How are you letting others live? But since you've said so, I won't stop you. Go with the accountant and see what tasks you want to take."

Cheng Feng, having received his master's approval, was naturally very grateful.

Watching Cheng Feng leave, Wang Tianshan took a sip of tea: "He only thought about going on tasks after so long, this kid."

The tasks in the martial arts gym are basically commercial transactions of the martial arts gym, and they are posted when manpower is needed.

Housekeeping, escorting goods, and even some private item deliveries are included.

This not only ensures that the martial arts gym has financial income, but also ensures that its disciples have a source of income.

Over time, talent and martial power will continue to flow, ensuring that the martial arts gym will not decline.

Generally, people who come to the martial arts gym for a long time are of two types: those who lack money at home and come to the martial arts gym to find a way out, and those who don't lack money at home and only seek to learn martial arts, and by the way, find a few powerful people in the martial arts gym to be family retainers. The martial arts gym is equivalent to a platform.

Of course, this is only limited to before the Blood Refinement Realm. When they reach the Blood Refinement Realm, the martial arts gym will directly recruit them as inner disciples.

If the family disciples want to poach people, then the family will provide the subsequent martial arts, and the martial arts gym will not think about the techniques after Blood Refinement.

At this time, it's a personal choice, choosing money or martial arts.

People like Cheng Feng are really rare. He reached the Blood Refinement Realm silently in half a year.

He directly entered Wang Tianshan's field of vision, and those family disciples didn't even try to get close to him.

The only Li Mo also met him privately in the tavern and at the entrance ceremony. At that time, he also said that there was news about medical skills.

But since then, Cheng Feng hasn't heard from Li Mo.

After all, Cheng Feng was still waiting for Li Mo to come to him.

Later, Cheng Feng might have been too busy and forgot. At that time, Cheng Feng was focused on getting started with the Thunderous Blood Bursting Art.

And now, Cheng Feng just wants to make money first, and then talk about medical skills later.

Arriving at the accounting room and greeting him, he looked at the tasks.

Inner disciples still have some benefits.

After entering the inner sect, even registered disciples don't need to pay money to the martial arts gym, but they need to complete two tasks within a year, and they still get money.

Looking at the task accounts, Cheng Feng found an interesting task.

The Li family is recruiting temporary guards, with a term of five days, requiring late-stage Strength Refinement Realm strength and above, one or two taels of silver per day for each small realm.

According to Cheng Feng's early-stage Blood Refinement Realm strength, that's seven taels of silver a day.

Cheng Feng certainly wouldn't be so blatant.

He wrote down Skin Refining Completion, six taels of silver a day. He could get thirty taels in five days, which was enough.

Cheng Feng has always been an easily satisfied person.

It depends on what the Li family is using money to hire people for.

But Cheng Feng is prepared to slack off, so why bother caring?

Blood Refinement Realm is too ostentatious, so Cheng Feng wrote that he was Skin Refining Completion. At most, people would say that Cheng Feng is a genius.

Didn't Zhang Zhuo also reach Skin Refining Completion?

Poor Ninth Senior Brother.

Cheng Feng wrote down his name and strength.

He's preparing to go to the Li family tomorrow to see. Six taels of silver a day. No matter what the situation, Cheng Feng is prepared to stay for five days.

The task states that the cash will be given after the task is completed.

As night fell, Cheng Feng went to dreamland with satisfaction, holding Xiao Qing in his arms.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and shone into the room. Cheng Feng slowly opened his eyes and stretched lazily. He got up and put on the new clothes that Cai'er had carefully prepared for him. It was a set of black clothes, with a sturdy iron crown on his head to hold his hair, and he held his Silver Feather Saber tightly in his hand. Then, he walked towards the Li Mansion with elegance.

At this time, it was still early, and the pedestrians on the street were sparse. Some vendors had just started setting up their stalls. Cheng Feng strolled along the road, his eyes casually scanning the surrounding crowd. He never seemed to tire of this worldly atmosphere.

When he arrived in front of the Li Mansion, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before him.

The Li Mansion was magnificent, with high thresholds and a huge plaque on the gate, demonstrating its noble status;

Two majestic stone lions were placed on both sides, seemingly guarding the four directions.

Looking at the high walls that almost filled half the street, one could imagine how big the Li Mansion must be.

Cheng Feng sighed inwardly, "As expected of the Li Mansion!"

The three major families of Qingxi County were indeed well-known.

He knocked on the door and entered. Before the servant inside could ask a question, five or six people came from behind, looking like they were from the Black Tiger Martial Arts Gym.

The guard asked a few simple questions and led them into the courtyard. The courtyard was full of people who had come to apply for the position of guard. They were all burly and imposing. When they saw Cheng Feng and the others enter, everyone's eyes turned to them.

At this time, a person who looked like a steward came over and said loudly, "Everyone, today we are recruiting guards for the Li Mansion. Our Li Mansion has always been known for its fairness and impartiality. As long as you pass the test, you can become a guard of the Li Mansion, but only temporarily. You must stay for at least five days, and then the strong will prevail. Now, I announce the rules of the test..."

Cheng Feng listened carefully to the rules of the test, feeling the aura and strength of the crowd. He felt that their strength was basically in the Skin Refining Realm, and he really thought it was average.

He felt like he was looking at a group of newbies. There was really no difficulty.

But this feeling of looking down on a lower realm from a higher realm is really great.

The test began. The first item was a strength test.

Participants needed to lift a boulder weighing five hundred pounds. Cheng Feng took a deep breath and easily lifted the boulder, eliciting a burst of exclamations. Cheng Feng's expression was too relaxed.

Next was the martial arts demonstration. Cheng Feng displayed his exquisite saber technique, suppressing most of his strength. The silver light flickered, making people dazzled.

After several rounds of testing, most of the people were eliminated, leaving only five people, including Cheng Feng.

The steward looked at them, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. "Congratulations on passing the preliminary test. Next, you will receive a personal assessment from the chief steward of the Li Mansion." With that, he led Cheng Feng and the others towards the inner hall.
