A burst of colorful light erupted from Lufeng's feet, and then he was engulfed by it.
Five seconds later, Lufeng returned to Dali City.
As soon as Qin Shou arrived back in Dali City, he eagerly asked, "Boss, what special mission do you have for me? I will definitely get it done!"
Lufeng smiled lightly, "It's a treasure hunt!"
Qin Shou was greatly disappointed, "Come on! I thought there was some special mission?! Treasure hunting is the most boring thing."
"Xiaoxiao is almost level 40; she shouldn't go this time!" Wang Xiaojing quickly reminded.
Lufeng smiled slightly, "I know. Xiaoxiao, you can focus on your sect missions first. Your experience is high; doing a few rounds of Sect tasks should get you to level 40. If you have any questions, you can ask Xiaojing. The rest of you go wait for me at Suzhou and Wu Jie."
Murong Xiaoxiao opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Suppressing her feelings, she walked somewhat dejectedly toward the teleportation station...
Lufeng shook his head helplessly. He had to be ruthless; Murong Xiaoxiao relied too much on others, which wasn't good for either of them. Only by facing problems independently could they grow faster.
Lufeng felt that he couldn't be everywhere at once and couldn't manage everything for Murong Xiaoxiao. Choosing the em profession had already set many things in motion, and Crocodile Baby was a must-have.
Seeing Murong Xiaoxiao's lonely figure made Wang Xiaojing's heart ache. She asked with concern, "Lufeng, will Xiaoxiao be okay?"
"She'll be fine; it's time for her to face things on her own. If this continues, one day when I'm not around, she won't know how to handle it. Besides, she's almost level 40; we can't waste this leveling opportunity. We also have a purpose for treasure hunting," Lufeng said calmly.
Qin Shou and the others were intrigued again and quickly asked, "What purpose?"
"To dig for Skill Books!" Lufeng replied casually.
Qin Shou felt a headache coming on: "Boss, the chances of that are very slim. We might as well sell the treasure map; at least that guarantees profit. If we don't find anything good, we'll lose big."
Lufeng shook his head and looked at Qiu Han: "Everyone's treasure maps should go to Fourth. If you dig randomly, it's just a waste of expressions, time, and gold coins. Treasure hunting has a limit on attempts: 10 times for level 30, 20 times daily for levels 40-50, and 50 times daily for levels above 50. After we finish our 10 attempts, Qiu Han will go dig while we farm mounts; it's faster than leveling in dungeons. If we happen to get a bunch of Skill Books from the treasure hunt, that would be even better."
Qin Shou patted his head and suddenly realized, "Right, how could I forget about this? Using the treasure map will also spawn horses, and farming for horses and books is highly efficient. It's truly a win-win situation."
Gao Chao scoffed and curled his lip, "Is Fourth really okay? If it all goes to waste, wouldn't that be a shame?"
Lufeng smiled slightly, "Why don't you give it a try?"
"No way, I wasted dozens of maps when I played Heavenly Dragon before, and I didn't even enter Treasure Cave. Don't make me dig," Gao Chao quickly declined.
Lufeng's expression changed slightly, "Then just shut up. If Qiu Han isn't suitable, then who is? Who provided you with your precious items in the past? You need to have principles in your work and be decent in life. Gao Chao, you have no say from now on."
Gao Chao pouted, feeling he might have gone too far, and quickly apologized to Qiu Han, "Fourth, it's not that I don't trust you; it's just that Asking Heaven has already..."
"Don't say anything more. I understand this area well. Of course, I know the boss knows more about treasure hunting than I do, but not everything can be left to the boss alone. I will prove my worth through my efforts," Qiu Han said firmly.
Qiu Han felt somewhat dejected, knowing in her heart that Gao Chao had never regarded her highly. If it weren't for Lufeng, Gao Chao probably wouldn't even acknowledge her.
Regarding Gao Chao, Lufeng felt speechless. People like him never consider others' feelings; those with low emotional resilience could never play along with him. Only Qin Shou would share Teacher Aoi with him.
"Alright, enough of this. You all go to Suzhou and wait for me. Here are the position tokens; set a location near Wu Jie first."
While chatting with Gao Chao and the others, Lufeng was busy making position tokens.
Wang Xiaojing unceremoniously took two position tokens from Lufeng, curious as she asked, "Aren't you coming with us?"
Lufeng smiled mysteriously, "I'm heading to see Lu Sanqi. You all go ahead; I've already set my position at Wu Jie. Hurry up."
"Lu Sanqi, what does he do? Sounds familiar; I forgot what he does," Qin Shou quickly inquired.
"The pharmacy owner!" Qiu Han answered lightly for Lufeng, as he had already headed west toward Dali City.
"Why are you all just standing there? Go to Suzhou!"
Looking at Lufeng's background, Miss Wang felt that she was increasingly unable to see through Lufeng. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to bother with him; after all, everyone needs their own space.
Dali Lu Sanqi's pharmacy:
"Ah, isn't this Lufeng, Young Hero? It's been a few days since we last met, and your cultivation has truly become more profound... I've recently developed a new medicine; I wonder if Young Hero is interested?"
Seeing Lufeng again, Lu Sanqi seemed to see his benefactor, and his enthusiasm was undeniable.
Lu Sanqi's words turned quickly, leaving Lufeng in the dust. He started with pleasantries and flattery before diving straight into the main topic.
"Hehe, I'm here for the medicine. Do you still have the Ointment from last time? I'll take five for 30 gold coins."
Lufeng didn't bother to beat around the bush; he was willing to be tricked by this unscrupulous pharmacist.
"Come on, you can't get five for 30 gold coins. You know that the ingredients for my Ointment are very precious. Plus, there's Tiger Whip; after taking it, even a soft shrimp can become lively. I assume you've used it before. For 30 gold coins, I can only give you four; otherwise, I'll be at a loss!" Lu Sanqi lamented.
"Fine, let you profit then. If you're unwilling, I'll just leave. As for your new medicine, I'm even less interested," Lufeng said as he turned to leave.
"Wait!"
How could Lu Sanqi let the opportunity slip away? He quickly said, "50 gold coins for five Ointments, and I'll throw in five bottles of Joy Oil as well. How about that? My new medicine will definitely make you feel ecstatic!"
Seeing Lu Sanqi's lewd demeanor, Lufeng was completely convinced. Such talent should not be wasted running a health store; producing and selling himself saves on intermediary fees.
"Alright, here are 50 gold coins. Bring me the goods."
Lufeng no longer hesitated. One must be willing to give to gain; he had previously benefited greatly from Mian Tan Gui Qin Guan, being able to exploit the Sect Mission twenty times a day. Just thinking about it excited him.
After the transaction, Lu Sanqi was grinning from ear to ear: "Young Hero, take care, and welcome to come again."
Ignoring Lu Sanqi's flattery, Lufeng used the Sect Recruitment Order on the spot, found Qin Guan, and smiled slightly: "Senior Brother, I've brought you good things."
Mian Tan Gui's face twitched, feeling guilty as he said, "Keep your voice down; don't let others hear us, or you'll ruin my reputation in the Sect."
"It's fine; we're communicating telepathically; others can't hear us," Lufeng reminded.
Upon hearing Lufeng's words, Qin Guan quickly relaxed and said seriously, "Hurry up and give me the items."
Lufeng smirked lewdly: "New Joy Oil, plus five Ointments."
Qin Guan was overjoyed: "Great, great! I never expected that among so many disciples, you would be so resourceful. Quickly take advantage of it; I've already activated a one-time opportunity for you to exploit twenty times."
Lufeng was ecstatic; indeed, the money was well spent. After receiving the Sect Mission from Qin Guan, completing the twenty exploitations rewarded him with over a hundred thousand Experience and several gold coins. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Wow, this Mian Tan Gui is also misusing public funds; this is fantastic! One mission has increased my Experience by more than half."
With his goal achieved, Lufeng didn't linger with the blissful Qin Guan. He used the Locator to arrive near Suzhou Wu Jie.
"Where are they? Wow, these people's efficiency is getting higher and higher; they're slower than me."
Lufeng muttered to himself and then checked his teammates' coordinates; they were all at the Suzhou Rare Beast Shop.
After waiting for a while, Wang Xiaojing and the others remained in their original positions without moving. Their coordinates hadn't changed. He couldn't help but speculate that they must have run into trouble. He decided to go over and check it out.
