♂?,,
The next morning, Wang Ting had already woken up.
He didn't plan on staying in Asahi Town, so after breakfast, he planned to return to the Kokoro High-Level Swordsman Academy.
He is now a mid-tier swordsman, and can defeat any high-tier swordsman with his rich experience from his past life and superior swordsmanship. Once he uses his spiritual secret technique to gain the upper hand, even against a great swordsman-level strong opponent, he has a chance of winning. Logically speaking, there is no need for him to stay in the Xuanhuan High-Level Swordsmen Academy anymore.
However, considering the rich collection of books at the Xuanzhong High-Level Swordsmen Academy, he had to get up again.
Knowledge is power, he has never denied this sentence.
The warm sunlight spilled over the small town, which had already become prosperous. The entire town was in a state of prosperity. Wang Ting walked along and saw craftsmen, servants, and laborers starting their new day, each doing their job. At the same time, he also saw many mercenaries, warriors, and swordsmen wearing leather armor, walking in groups of three or five on the streets. Occasionally, there would be some knights riding fine horses, swiftly passing through the town's streets.
Before long, Wang Ting had arrived at the two major stables in the town and proposed his need to rent a horse-drawn carriage to go to the Xuanzhong Advanced Swordsman Academy.
Two months of practice, it's time to summarize, and this period on the horse-drawn carriage is obviously the best time for summary.
"Mr. Swordsman."
Wang Tingzheng was about to negotiate the price with a carter from Che Ma Hang when Zhou Guangming, the manager of the merchant house, quickly called out from among the crowd.
"Respected Swordsman Sir, are you planning to head to Bishui City to receive a quest?"
"Go to Bishui City?"
Wang Ting was somewhat perplexed.
"Mr. Swordsman, you don't know?"
"What's wrong?"
"The temple! The temple just issued a quest last night, and the news has already spread to this side. Many mercenaries who were staying in Akatsuki Town have left for cities with temple quests like Bishui City, all for that quest that was just issued last night."
Bishui City is the only city with a population of over one million within a radius of 40 kilometers, and it has the Temple of the Sword Emperor. Xuri Town is also one of the subordinate towns of Bishui City. The task displayed in the temple last night was transmitted to Xuri Town this morning, which is not surprising at all.
No wonder it's so lively with cars and horses passing by now.
"Mr. Swordsman, I believe you'll be very interested in this task. If you're planning to head to Bishui City, why don't we go together? You see, at this time, it's not easy to rent a horse carriage alone."
"I'm not going to Bishui City."
Wang Tingdao said with a slight pause in his tone: "However, what is the task that was mentioned?"
"Gather a type of ore called Star Crystal, and this task is a group task, that is to say, anyone can accept it, and anyone can complete it. In the end, the Temple will reward according to the amount of Star Crystal collected. The reward is a treasure that refines the flesh and replenishes the blood... I believe you also know that the Temple's rewards are absolutely extraordinary. Every time there is a task, it can create a batch of strong people! This kind of unlimited group task has become less and less common over the years. This task only appears in the temples of three cities: Bishui City, Qingshan City, and Houtu City. Currently, it has already caused a small stir in our Tai Xuan Kingdom, and I'm afraid that even the capital will send teams to take on this task in these three city temples."
"Stardust..."
Wang Ting slightly furrowed his brow.
He couldn't be considered well-read, but when it came to materials, he had made an effort to memorize them. With his sixth-grade spiritual degree, the number of materials he remembered wasn't small, but this mineral was something he had never heard of before.
"Don't be surprised, Mr. Swordsman. The tasks within the temple are different every time. Once a task is initiated, the person who accepts it will be transported to an unfamiliar region. This region may be a mysterious island, a strange country, or even an unknown continent. In these places, there exist various civilizations, as well as species, ferocious beasts, herbs, and minerals that are completely different from ours. There are also spiritual beliefs that are completely foreign to our region. Before the task is officially executed, it is impossible for anyone to find this mineral in advance, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of cheating on the task."
Wang Ting nodded slightly.
The temple's mission, the treasure of replenishing blood...
Does this world really have a divine residence?
And what kind of power does Shen Di really possess?
With the reputation of Shen's residence and the treasure that replenishes blood, he had already generated the idea of going to try it out in his heart.
Seeing Wang Ting's expression, Zhou Guangming already understood his idea and made a polite gesture: "Swordsmen, let's hurry up and get going. The earlier we receive the task, the more advantageous it will be for us. Moreover, when we return early, we can avoid being blocked by others due to the grudges and grievances that have arisen from the temple tasks over the years."
Wang Ting nodded and got on the horse carriage.
The vehicle has already started moving.
This horse-drawn carriage is specially used by the merchant company tomorrow, and compared to the horse-drawn carriages that can be rented in the carriage house, not only is the interior space much larger, but also a thick layer of carpet is laid on the carriage surface, which minimizes the impact of bumps when sitting on it.
"I'm a bit curious, Mingri Business is not a small business, as the person in charge of Mingri Business, you don't have to be so polite to me."
"Sir Swordsman is overpraising, tomorrow's business is a huge thing, and I, Zhou Guangming, am just a small person. Your identity and status are strictly above mine. Moreover, being able to know an excellent young swordsman like you is my honor."
"Is it?"
Wang Ting said faintly.
"Hehe, what I said is true. Our Tomorrow Business Union is a group of merchants, and our goal is simply to make money. In fact, this is also a win-win cooperation. Every time a task starts, we go to the task location, which is always an unfamiliar region. Although those regions have life, ferocious beasts, and may be similar to our own region, the local specialties are not the same. There's a saying that goes like this: 'A stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade.' We hope that during your training period, if you obtain some precious materials or things that you think are valuable, you can prioritize selling them to our Tomorrow Business Union and build a good relationship with us. The membership card in your hand is the one I issued. Every time our business union trades with you, it's equivalent to my own achievement."
Wang Ting glanced at Zhou Guangming and nodded slightly.
"If there's anything that needs to be sold, I'll give priority to Guangming Commercial Firm."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Jian Shi."
Wang Ting didn't say anything else, closed his eyes and summed up the gains from two months of forest training.
The distance between Kokuryū Town and Bishui City is not far, but the technology of this world is not advanced. The speed of horse-drawn carriages can't be considered fast at all, with a top speed of only about 20-30 kilometers per hour. From Kokuryū Town to Bishui City, it takes almost two hours.
Seeing Wang Ting close his eyes and having no interest in chatting, Zhou Guangming didn't disturb him either. He sat quietly, gazing at Wang Ting with a hint of envy.
At such a young age, he already has the strength to kill mid-tier ferocious beasts...
Bright prospects ahead!
At the very least, this young man's future is absolutely not something that a mere steward of a merchant house can compare to. Don't be fooled by his impressive appearance, with even mid-tier swordsmen under his command, and high-tier swordsmen at his beck and call. However, in reality, such status and power are not his own, but rather bestowed upon him by others, and it would be easy for them to take it away.
This was also his main reason for actively wanting to befriend this young man several times.
