Chapter 143: Chen Duo: There is Money in Executing Missions

~7 min read 1,386 words

"I understand, I will be as quick as possible!"

After Liao Zhong looked at Chen Duo, he turned his head and said very gratefully.

As for Chen Duo, she was still feeling curious about her own body at this moment.

After Lin Xuan waved his hand, Liao Zhong bowed with Chen Duo and left.

"Benefactor, even I felt danger from the Gu on her body just now."

After the two left, Xiao Qing finally spoke.

"To a certain extent, these Gu are parasitic organisms; they use her body as a nest, and the food for these Gu is her Qi.

Once these Primitive Gu are not supplied with food, these things will devour the host herself."

"Can one really walk the Great Dao by practicing these?"

Xiao Bai asked curiously.

"I don't know much about Gu arts."

Lin Xuan shook his head.

"I thought Benefactor knew everything!"

Xiao Qing said hurriedly upon hearing this.

"Then you have thought too much; I am also just a person!"

After finishing, Lin Xuan raised his hand into his sleeve and took out the Pill from the Jiezi Space.

A medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Upon smelling the fragrance, the Er She subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Intuition told them that this Pill would be of immense help to their cultivation.

Lin Xuan took out a box, placed the Pill inside, and put it back into the Jiezi Space.

The Er She watched with longing eyes but did not open their mouths to ask for it.

After all, they also knew the purpose of this Pill.

"Why not give it directly to Benefactor's Shiye?"

Seeing Lin Xuan put the Pill away again, Xiao Bai asked.

Since it had been refined, it should be eaten immediately.

"This is Longhu Mountain; if he needs to go into seclusion after eating it, would Shiye go into seclusion on Longhu Mountain?"

"Benefactor is right!"

Xiao Qing nodded repeatedly.

"The Yin and Yang Qi of the Pill has become completely peaceful, and the Dragon-Tiger Qi formed earlier has also been gathered; it is just unclear if it can truly help Shiye condense an Inner Core."

Lin Xuan whispered to himself.

After all, such a thing had never happened before.

As for the matter of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core from that Ancestral Tianshi back then, too much time had passed, and the records had long since become blurred.

But regardless, the item itself was certainly correct.

We will just have to see the results when the time comes.

"After eating it, perhaps he really could ascend to heaven in broad daylight!"

Xiao Bai said, her tone clearly carrying some envy.

Lin Xuan raised his eyes to observe the Qing Bai Er She and saw their expressions.

"Do you want some too?"

"Mm-hmm!"

Since Lin Xuan had asked, the Er She naturally would not hide their thoughts and nodded in unison.

"Then wait a while; the medicinal materials are mostly exhausted, and besides, I discovered some problems during the lightning tribulation when the Pill was formed."

"Problems? Benefactor, what did you discover?"

Lin Xuan's contemplative expression made the Er She incredibly curious.

"Some circumstances regarding this world!"

Lin Xuan did not hide it when asked.

"In the past, the cultivation of Outsiders should have been easier than in this era, but now cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult, and once a certain level is reached, it seems one cannot continue to improve."

Lin Xuan thought of Fang Dongtian.

Perhaps the fact that the Quanzhen lineage had not produced an Inner Core Master for so many years was also related to this.

It is just that the Quanzhen lineage does not have anything similar to the Tianshi Inheritance of Longhu Mountain.

If they did, perhaps one could learn this secret from it.

If the Tianshi Inheritance were passed down and Lao Tianshi would not die, he would actually want to give it a try.

He had discovered some clues, but did not know the truth.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this; you two go back first."

Lin Xuan waved his hand, not dwelling on it further.

After all, if he were to dwell on it, the matters involved would be too numerous.

Controlling the cultivation of Outsiders and preventing stronger Outsiders from appearing is a bad thing for Outsiders, but for ordinary people, it is a good thing.

If this restriction were to be broken, he did not know if the current fragile balance between Outsiders and ordinary people would be shattered.

He also did not know what kind of consequences it would bring.

If it were to truly cause the world to shake, then he would need to think it over carefully.

However, that is not his nature.

Therefore, put this line of thinking aside for now.

Besides, the reason is still unclear at the moment.

Once the reason is known, and there is certainty in breaking this restriction, then the matter can be thrown to Lao Tianshi and the Company.

Anyway, this restriction does not fall upon him, so he does not care.

……

Liao Zhong took Chen Duo back to see Xu San and Xu Si.

"Resolved?"

Xu Si and the others keenly noticed the situation with Chen Duo and asked in surprise.

"Mm, resolved!"

A smile appeared on Liao Zhong's face, and he looked much more relaxed.

"It seems that for this person, it wasn't a difficult task!"

Xu Si nodded; he knew how long Liao Zhong had been running around for Chen Duo's affairs.

Although the situations of the Temporary Workers in each major region are mostly kept confidential.

But for the sake of Chen Duo, Liao Zhong had previously thought of many methods and begged many people.

Although the final result was not satisfactory, apart from the high-level executives of the Company, those at the level of Regional Person-in-Charge all knew a little about Chen Duo's situation.

"Then congratulations!"

Xu San offered sincere congratulations.

"Oh, it doesn't count, it doesn't count; the main thing is that if Chen Duo wants to return to a normal life later, she still needs time to be taught."

Liao Zhong hurriedly waved his hand.

"Then your major region won't have a Temporary Worker in the future!"

Xu Si lit a cigarette, looked at Chen Duo who had gathered with Feng Baobao, and spoke.

"I'll just find another one."

Liao Zhong said immediately upon hearing this.

"I can continue to be a Temporary Worker!"

Chen Duo suddenly looked up and said.

"Your essence was all in that thing; now that the thing is gone, how can you be one? Learn properly how ordinary people live; if you can't learn, the Company won't let you out."

Liao Zhong turned his head and scolded immediately upon hearing this.

In fact, the situation with Chen Duo was not just the Gu-Body Holy Child, but also her heart.

Killing was unavoidable when executing missions, but when Chen Duo killed, the frequency of her heartbeat did not change at all.

This was also the reason why the Company put an explosive Collar on Chen Duo.

Cold-blooded.

Or rather, human life was no different from other things in Chen Duo's eyes.

Such a mindset would make Chen Duo's view of many things in this world different from that of an ordinary person.

"I still have Qi!"

As Chen Duo spoke, Qi surged out from her body suddenly.

Xu San, Xu Si, and Feng Baobao all widened their eyes.

"Do you have other thoughts?"

Liao Zhong looked at Chen Duo, from whom Qi was surging, and spoke hesitantly.

"I have no money!"

Chen Duo answered directly.

"Didn't I say, your salary and subsidies will all be given to you at that time!"

Liao Zhong was speechless upon hearing this.

"What if I spend it all?"

Chen Duo asked in return.

"Ah?"

"What if I spend it all? I don't know how to earn money, but I can execute missions, and then I will have money!"

Xu San and Xu Si were dumbfounded listening to this.

Feng Baobao, on the other hand, nodded in agreement.

"Mm-hmm, that's the logic!"

She even spoke up to agree.

Liao Zhong looked at Chen Duo, wanting to distinguish her thoughts from her face.

But he failed.

Her expression was no different from before, though her complexion was much better than before.
