#2173 - The wish of the steward

In the corner of the hall, that Young Master Li watched Jun Wu Xie and Little Boundary Tree follow the shop assistant towards the inner hall, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"It seems he has triggered a quest.

This person is not simple. I can sense a dangerous aura from him.

If he were a cultivator from our world who could give me this feeling, I should have some impression of him.

Could he be a cultivator from the Divine Ancient Great World?

If he is from the Divine Ancient World, he might be the 'Beginning' on that ranking list."

Li Shao thought to himself.

His name was Li Wuji, an outstanding talent of the Boundless God Sect from the Boundless Great World.

The Boundless God Sect had immense power and extremely strong strength, a behemoth in the first echelon of the Boundless Great World.

This time, when the Secret Realm opened, he entered a few days later than others.

At that time, he was still training in other secret realms. After coming out, everyone else had already entered the Secret Realm.

He had a few strong individuals around him, but not many.

All the other strong individuals of the Boundless God Sect were by the side of the Divine Son and Divine Daughter, assisting them.

Because he was at odds with the Divine Son, he did not go with the Divine Son and Divine Daughter.

… …

Inside the inner hall of the Divine Walk Commerce.

Jun Wu Xie followed the female shop assistant here and saw a middle-aged man in his forties standing at the entrance of the inner hall's living room, looking at him with fiery eyes.

To be precise, the middle-aged man's gaze was fixed on his feet.

"I wonder what the manager wants to see me for?"

Jun Wu Xie and Little Boundary Tree walked up to the middle-aged man, while the female shop assistant retreated.

"That's right, it shouldn't be wrong, it shouldn't be wrong…"

The manager muttered to himself repeatedly, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Cultivator, are you from Initial Ground Number Nine?"

"That's right."

Jun Wu Xie's thoughts were confirmed at this moment.

It seemed that he had indeed triggered a quest.

"The exclusive divine artifact you are wearing on your feet, could it be the Gale Shoes?"

"Indeed."

Jun Wu Xie immediately took off the Gale Shoes.

The manager squatted down, his hands trembling slightly, picked up the Gale Shoes and examined them, tears gradually welling up in his eyes.

"Tens of thousands of years, I have finally… finally seen the things you left behind.

It's a pity that the old friend is gone, leaving only objects behind.

For so many years, I haven't even been able to visit your grave.

Back then, you and I were in our prime, dressed in fine clothes and riding spirited horses, roaming the world with swords, what a memorable day that was.

It's all gone, everything is gone…"

Speaking of this, the manager was already in tears.

"Manager, who is the old friend you are talking about?"

He didn't expect that the manager of the Divine Walk Commerce would have such a deep friendship with the original owner of the Gale Shoes.

"His name is Jian Feng, the owner of these Gale Shoes.

Back then, Jian Feng returned to his hometown, already seriously injured and dying.

At that time, I was also fighting against the evil demons, unable to get away.

Unexpectedly, when I received news of him again, it was farewell forever.

That village was sealed by order, I couldn't go, I couldn't even see him one last time…"

"You are actually an old friend of Jian Feng?"

Jun Wu Xie was a little surprised, not expecting that the original owner of the Gale Shoes was Jian Feng.

"That's right, back then he walked out of the village, and I was born in this ancient town. When we first met, we hit it off immediately, and walked the world side by side. It was truly a joy in life.

We accompanied each other, grew together, and became famous together.

We agreed to be brothers, sharing life and death, but he left so early…

Back then, if he hadn't saved me, he wouldn't have been injured like that, but I survived, and he died in the hands of the evil demons…

These shoes were his exclusive divine artifact back then.

It's just a pity that these Gale Shoes are severely damaged and no longer have the effects they once had.

The Gale Shoes were originally a ninth-order supreme-level divine artifact. Their level was even higher than my and Jian Feng's eighth-order realm at our peak.

Now they have fallen to the level of a first-order king…"

The manager sighed endlessly, every word filled with sadness and nostalgia for the past, and feelings for his old friend.

"Now, Village Number Nine has been connected to the outside world. If you want to see Jian Feng, you can go and take a look.

Jian Feng's body was stolen by the Demon Corpse Emperor of the Demon Corpse Cave back then, who ordered other creatures to refine it into a demon corpse.

A few days ago, I killed my way through the Demon Corpse Cave, killed the Demon Corpse Emperor, and brought Jian Feng's body back to the village and handed it over to his father.

For the time being, Jian Feng's body should not be buried.

If you go to Village Number Nine, you may be able to make up for the regrets of the past."

"You… are you telling the truth?"

The manager's body shook violently, his eyes shining brightly.

As he spoke, he was about to leave, but suddenly stopped.

"I can't just leave like this.

You have done Jian Feng a great favor and obtained his Gale Shoes.

These Gale Shoes, now that their grade has fallen to this point.

How can I bear to see them like this.

It's just a pity that now that you cultivators have entered this world, there are many things that we are restricted from doing ourselves.

To restore the Gale Shoes' grade, you can only rely on yourself."

Upon hearing this, Jun Wu Xie knew that the quest was coming.

"Tell me, what needs to be done to restore the Gale Shoes' grade?"

The manager took out a map, on which were drawn and marked various places in the vast area of Qingfeng Ancient Town.

He pointed to the edge of the map and said, "There is a Wind Demon Hall here, inside which are sealed many Wind Demon Clan evil demons.

In the deepest part of the Wind Demon Hall, there grows a Supreme Wind Demon Tree, originally a super-divine tree demon. Due to the great war back then, its grade fell to the third order and was reduced to a divine-level evil demon.

There is a Wind Spirit inside the Wind Demon Tree. If you kill it and obtain the Wind Spirit, bring it back, and I will help you refine the Gale Shoes.

At that time, the grade of the Gale Shoes should be able to be restored to the Ancient level.

If you kill the Wind Demon Lord in the Wind Demon Hall, there may be a chance to drop a third-order Order Forging Divine Stone.

If you can obtain a third-order Order Forging Divine Stone, I can also help you raise the Gale Shoes' level to the third order!

At that time, I will additionally give you a million exclusive coins, as well as other rare resources as thanks!

Are you willing to risk trying to repair the Gale Shoes?"

Almost at the same time, the Order Voice of the Secret Realm Master sounded in Jun Wu Xie's mind: "Beginning, you have triggered the hidden quest of Qingfeng Ancient Town, the Wish of the Divine Walk Commerce Manager. This quest has a difficulty coefficient of Abyss level. Do you accept it?"

"Accept!"

Jun Wu Xie naturally couldn't refuse.

As he responded to the Order Voice in his mind, he saw a gratified smile on the manager's face.

"Jian Feng's Gale Shoes really didn't choose the wrong new owner!

Beginning, you are a person with courage and boldness!

However, I must remind you that the Wind Demon Hall is extremely dangerous.

Although they are all third-order Wind Demons, the Wind Demon Hall Master and the Wind Demon Tree are both divine-level creatures.

Their strength, whether it is attack and defense intensity or secret technique effects and power, is far stronger than emperor-level creatures.

I suggest that you don't go to the Wind Demon Hall for the time being. First, improve your own strength, and it won't be too late to go when you are confident.

By the way, before that, I will help you repair the problem of excessive consumption of energy, spirit, and essence caused by the damage to the Gale Shoes."

As the manager spoke, he formed hand seals, condensed a magic diagram, and dropped waterfall-like light of laws, pouring down on the Gale Shoes.

The Gale Shoes floated in the air, rotating in the energy waterfall, with broken law patterns flashing on them from time to time.

Those patterns gradually connected during the refining process.

Before long, the manager put away the magic array, and the Gale Shoes fell to the ground.

He said, "The problem has been solved. You don't have to worry about consuming a lot of energy, spirit, and essence when activating the Gale Shoes anymore.

I am going to Jian Feng's village to see him and fulfill the regrets in my heart.

I may stay there for up to a month.

I will return here after a month.

I think, in a month's time, it should be impossible for you to complete the quest.

Finally, I remind you again.

The Wind Demon Hall is extremely dangerous for you cultivators. Do not go there without confidence."

After the manager finished speaking, he disappeared instantly, as if teleporting.

Jun Wu Xie was stunned. He ran away quite quickly, leaving him and Little Boundary Tree in the inner hall.

"Let's go."

Jun Wu Xie pulled Little Boundary Tree and left.

"Lord Jun, are you planning to go directly to the Wind Demon Hall?"

"That's right, those people in the Boundless World have already progressed ahead of us.

There is no time to proceed step by step."

Walking out of the Divine Walk Commerce, they quickly discovered the people hiding near the nearby shops.

These people were secretly watching them, precisely the boastful youth who had humiliated himself in the hall before, as well as some of the other cultivators in the hall.

Jun Wu Xie pretended not to know and pulled Little Boundary Tree towards the medicine shop in the city.

There is a medicine shop in every block, and the things sold inside are roughly the same.

Jun Wu Xie looked at it. The medicine shop sold nothing more than pills to restore energy, spirit, and essence, pills to boost strength in a short period of time, pills to increase attack amplification in a short period of time, pills to strengthen defense in a short period of time, and so on.

It's just that these pills all have a drawback.

Although they can obtain stronger power in a short period of time, the consumption of oneself will be very huge after the effect disappears.

He naturally doesn't need this kind of thing and focused his attention on the pills that restore energy, spirit, and essence.

Small Return Pill, in a short period of time, can continuously restore a small amount of energy, spirit, and essence, refined from high-quality vitality and soul divine medicine, priced at five exclusive coins.

Great Return Pill, within a quarter of an hour, can continuously restore a medium amount of energy, spirit, and essence, priced at one hundred exclusive coins.

Superior Great Return Pill, within half an hour, can orderly restore a large amount of energy, spirit, and essence, refined from life vitality and soul divine medicine, priced at five hundred exclusive coins.

Top-grade Great Return Pill, within an hour, can continuously restore a massive amount of energy, spirit, and essence, refined from special life vitality and rare soul divine medicine, priced at two thousand exclusive coins.

These pills are really expensive.

Even Jun Wuxie found the prices unbearable.

Of course, ordinary Lesser Revitalizing Pills were fine, at five exclusive coins each.

It's just that the effects of the Lesser Revitalizing Pills weren't much, and for him, they were useless.

He wasn't very interested in the effects of Greater Revitalizing Pills either; he needed at least superior-grade Greater Revitalizing Pills.

Considering that the place he was going was the Wind Demon Hall, he wasn't even considering superior-grade Greater Revitalizing Pills.

He directly purchased ten supreme-grade Greater Revitalizing Pills.

This kind of pill had a long continuous recovery time, and the amount of continuous recovery was large, which could better provide combat endurance.

His own recovery ability was very strong, but in this secret realm, many of his abilities were restricted.

To be on the safe side, it was better to prepare some supreme-grade pills.

Ten supreme-grade Greater Revitalizing Pills cost ten thousand gold coins, but with a ten percent discount, the actual payment was nine thousand exclusive coins.

Adding in the expense of purchasing advanced Swift Travel Talismans at the Swift Travel Shop, he spent a total of twenty-two thousand five hundred exclusive coins.

The old village chief and the others had given him a total of more than forty thousand exclusive coins; now he had used up half of it, and only twenty thousand or so coins were left in his money bag.

However, he wasn't worried about not having enough exclusive coins.

The exclusive coin drop was now activated.

As long as he killed evil demonic creatures, he could get exclusive coins; the higher the level of the evil demonic creature he killed, the more would drop, which was beyond doubt.

Near the pharmacy, those who were secretly watching Jun Wuxie and the Little World Tree, seeing them come out of the shop, had gloomy expressions.

"According to his spending habits, he must have bought good medicine; I wonder how many exclusive coins he wasted this time!

It's really damn it, those exclusive coins are mine, and they were spent like that!"

The ostentatious youth gnashed his teeth.

In his opinion, the exclusive coins on Jun Wuxie were all his, but they were used for such extravagance, which made him feel angry.

"Let's go, follow him, and after leaving the city, find a secluded place to intercept and kill him!"

The ostentatious youth left in a hurry with a dozen people.

"As the ancients said, do not reveal your wealth.

This is what you asked for.

Since we have seen it, it is your bad luck!

Exclusive coins, the exclusive artifact on you, advanced Swift Travel Talismans, all of them are ours!"

"Is the sealing array ready?

Are you sure it will work?"

"It should work, I can't guarantee it, but at least I am very confident."

"That's good, as long as he can't return to the city to revive, he is doomed to die today, and everything will be for our benefit, hahaha!"

The ostentatious youth laughed loudly, his mind already beginning to imagine the scene after killing the target, collecting the exclusive equipment, exclusive coins, advanced Swift Travel Talismans, and other resources from his body.
