Ye Hanjun shook his head, got up from the bathtub, dried the water droplets on his skin and put on his clothes.
"Here you go."
"Bear with me one more time, I will get you a bigger container soon."
He took out the water jug, pointed at the bottle neck, and the little tadpole immediately understood.
But this time, with its small butt wiggling, it was indeed a bit difficult for it to do it alone.
Ye Hanjun gently gave it a push from behind and the little tadpole easily passed through the bottle neck and transformed into a stone sinking to the bottom of the water.
"What an exemplary little tadpole you are... when it’s time to play, you play; when it’s time to work, you work..."
Feeling moved, Ye Hanjun arranged his supplies and prepared to go out.
Today, he needed to go shopping.
Ghost Wolf and Ghost Tooth had left quite substantial legacies, which could potentially allow each of them to advance to the 3rd tier and become full-fledged mentors in no time, just like Zhi Zhengqing.
However, he had to keep the two dimensional space bags for his personal use, and thus, couldn’t sell them yet.
As for the remainder of the miscellaneous stuff, such as the leftover materials from the Rainbow Light Fetus’s corpse, or the high-grade pills, elixirs, and ores that were likely taken from others through murders, Ye Hanjun estimated them to be worth around 10,000 lower quality spirit stones.
As long as he was cautious enough to sell these things in batches and at different places,
these illicit gains would easily become his personal assets.
Ye Hanjun was planning to liquidate some of these assets today. His priority was to stock up on necessary supplies such as spiritual liquid for Guagua, more blood-enriching food and medicine, as well as high-quality armor and protective gear...
Of course, the most important thing was to purchase the materials for Huazhu’s ceremony.
He had originally planned to wait for a longer time until he had enough money for this.
Who would have thought that, while he was wandering in the wilderness, there would be reckless people trying to provoke him and take his life?
As the victor, all of Ye Hanjun’s plans could be carried out ahead of schedule.
The Metamorphosis Ceremony of the Grey Flash Desert Witch was near at hand, in just a few days!
"The darkness of the night is inevitably cold, but there is always dawn before the journey..."
"Those sleepless nights of tossing and turning will be a thing of the past... Huazhu, you must be looking forward to this day too?"
...
Cross Old Street.
Ye Hanjun, using rouge powder to disguise himself, is dressed in a way he would never usually dress, posing as an old man with some age.
After exchanging his items for enough spirit stones, he once again changed his appearance to a fat merchant with a conspicuous black mole at the corner of his mouth in an uninhabited corner of the street.
Clay Rock Wolf, Earth Elephant Pig, Golden Scaled Pangolin, Soil Rabbit, Gigantic Soil Cicada...
He obtained a litre of blood from each of the seven kinds of earth element Fond Spirits without much effort.
As for the most expensive element magic stone needed for the ceremony, Ye Hanjun chose an ’Earth Crystal Pillar Stone’ from a mineral collection store.
This kind of magic stone is rare and high-grade.
Although there is another type of magic stone called ’Earth Rock Elephant Stone’ which is slightly inferior, it can also be used as a supporting item for the ceremony.
But in order for Huazhu to have the best possible conditions, Ye Hanjun purchased the more expensive Earth Crystal Pillar Stone, spending almost two thousand lower quality spirit stones.
The ’complete heart of a high-ranking Fond Spirit’, which wasn’t very expensive but was very important, took up almost an entire day.
Apart from wandering around Cross Old Street, he also visited several other places with shops, carefully selecting and weighing his options.
Only after he finally made up his mind and chose the most ideal product, Ye Hanjun finally had time to buy equipment, stock up on the necessary spiritual liquid, medicine, and ingredients...
...
"Sir, are you sure you want to post such a task?"
"Fond Spirits of the prison, are a very rare species in our Giant Frog Marsh, and you specifically asked for a demonic one... this kind of commissioned task burns a lot of money, I don’t know how much money you’ve prepared? Can you provide enough deposit to form a better cooperative relationship?"
Task Hall, one of the official institutions of Canghai Pavilion.
Everyone, whether a student, an assistant, a mentor, or a staff member, can find suitable commissioned tasks here in their spare time and receive corresponding rewards upon completion.
Similarly, by posting tasks, allowing others to complete them, this also forms part of the transaction.
A considerable amount of students earn spirit stones in this way to maintain their cultivation privileges and the necessary expenses of breeding Fond Spirits.
Of course, Ye Hanjun appreciates the "Anonymous" function even more.
One can post a task without a personal badge as long as they provide enough deposit and prepay the reward.
"Bang!"
Ye Hanjun laid out five small bags on the table, a total of five hundred lower quality spirit stones, right in front of the staff.
After the staff verified the amount, they didn’t ask another word. Immediately, a pale golden notice was added to the "Long-term Tasks" and "High-reward Tasks" section on the wall of available tasks.
"Sir, the task has been posted, you can come back at any time to check the progress of the task."
"Because you asked for clues, not hunting or capturing the objective."
"You need to know that these clues will inevitably have authenticity issues. As the person who posted the task, we don’t have the ability to verify them, but we still need to give enough reward to people who provide the clues."
"Once the spirit stones are used up, and you don’t recharge in time, this task will be immediately withdrawn... these are things you need to pay attention to."
"Understood."
Ye Hanjun, hidden beneath the brim of a black hat, completely concealing his face and figure, took the identity ring corresponding to the task publisher and left the Task Hall without looking back.
