Chapter 17: Green Scale Beast

Li Hanxue looked at Lin Xuanxuan. Today, she was wearing a water-blue gown. Her delicate skin was faintly visible under the gauze. Her long black and smooth hair fell like a waterfall, exuding a faint girlish breath, which was very charming.

"I want to make money." Li Hanxue said straight to the point.

"Make money?" Lin Xuanxuan smiled, "You are a genius disciple. The academy should have invested a lot of money in you. How can you be short of money?"

In the year when the martial vein was exhausted, Li Hanxue had spent all her savings to cure the martial vein. Now she is penniless.

Li Hanxue smiled and said, "People always have a hard time. Do you have any quick ways to make money?"

"How much money do you need?" Lin Xuanxuan asked.

Li Hanxue hesitated for a moment and said, "One thousand gold coins."

One thousand gold coins is really not a small amount. It is equivalent to the annual income of one thousand ordinary families of three.

"If it's one thousand gold coins, how about I lend it to you?" Lin Xuanxuan smiled.

One thousand gold coins may be a very large sum of money for others, but as the daughter of one of the three members of the Yipin Pavilion Council, Lin Xuanxuan has it on hand.

Li Hanxue is smart and understands Lin Xuanxuan's thoughts after hearing what she said. Lin Xuanxuan is the daughter of the Lin family of the Yipin Pavilion Council and is born with a business mind. If he accepts one thousand gold coins from her, it is not just owing her one thousand gold coins, but more importantly, owing her a favor.

Li Hanxue smiled and shook her head, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but I want to earn the thousand gold coins with my own hands."

"You are really serious." Lin Xuanxuan covered her mouth and chuckled, "If you want to make money in Yipin Pavilion, there are only three ways. First, take on the tasks assigned by the guests, and you can get the corresponding rewards after completing the tasks. This way of making money is extremely unstable. The rewards are agreed upon by both parties, and we, Yipin Pavilion, do not interfere. Second, it is to kill the mysterious beasts and collect the mysterious beast materials needed by the Refining Sect."

"Refining Sect?" Li Hanxue was surprised. The Refining Sect is a super sect in the Nebula Continent. It has the strongest weapon manufacturing team in the entire continent. They have their shadows in the wars of all dynasties. They secretly provoke wars and then transport a large number of high-quality weapons to the powerful empire. They get countless wealth from every war. After thousands of years of accumulation, the wealth of the Refining Sect has become immeasurable. Any major sect dare not say that they are better than the Refining Sect.

The Weapon Refining Sect is the richest sect on this continent, and this is already a matter of no dispute.

"Yes, our Yipin Pavilion has cooperation with the Weapon Refining Sect. As long as the warriors collect the materials needed by the Weapon Refining Sect, they can also get high rewards, which are often several times higher than the first way." Lin Xuanxuan smiled.

"What is the third way?"

Lin Xuanxuan paused, with endless yearning in her eyes, "The third way is to become a weapon refiner. A weapon refiner can enjoy extremely high treatment no matter where he is. As long as you become a first-class weapon refiner, your worth will immediately increase a hundred times. Not only can you receive a thousand gold coins for free every month, but there are also a lot of materials for you to try for free. You only need to refine a fourth to sixth-level intermediate Xuanbing for Yipin Pavilion in one month."

Li Hanxue pondered for a while. Although he had the weapon Dao chapter of the Nine Yin Cultivation Divine Art, he remembered every word clearly in his mind. Although becoming a weapon refiner sounds very tempting, he doesn't know if he has the talent for refining, so this is not within his consideration at present.

Li Hanxue smiled and said, "I want to collect materials for the Refining Sect. Is there any task worth one thousand gold coins?"

Lin Xuanxuan sighed in her heart. No one knows better than her how difficult it is to become a refiner. To become a refiner requires not only wisdom, but also talent and a large amount of resources. Her father invested a lot of resources in her younger brother Lin He because a year ago, a second-grade refiner in the Refining Sect said that he had a high talent for refining. But now a year has passed, and Lin He can only refine some low-level Xuanbing. He can only be regarded as an apprentice and cannot meet the requirements of a first-level refiner.

A person's martial arts talent is extraordinary, but it does not mean that his talent for refining is also extraordinary. Li Hanxue must be no exception.

Although Lin Xuanxuan felt a little disappointed, she was quickly relieved. If Li Hanxue's martial arts talent and refining talent were both outstanding, how could he live?

"A task worth a thousand gold coins..." Lin Xuanxuan's eyes flashed, and she thought carefully, "I got it! A few days ago, Master Zhang, a third-grade weapon refiner, came to our Yipin Pavilion and said he wanted a piece of purple scale from a green-scaled beast. If you can peel a piece of purple scale from a green-scaled beast, this piece of purple scale alone is worth a thousand gold coins!"

An adult green-scaled beast is equivalent to a third-level warrior, very powerful, but an underage green-scaled beast is average in strength. Li Hanxue can easily deal with it. As long as there is no conflict with an adult green-scaled beast, there should be no big problem. After thinking about it, Li Hanxue decided to take on this task.

"I want to take on this task, but I wonder where the destination is?" Li Hanxue asked.

"Wait a moment."

Lin Xuanxuan twisted her body and walked briskly to the second floor. Soon she held a piece of parchment in her hand, which clearly recorded the gathering place of the green-scaled beast.

Li Hanxue held the blueprint in her hand and smiled: "Thank you, Miss Lin."

"How old are you? You look so old. Don't call me Miss Lin in the future. Just call me Xuanxuan."

Li Hanxue scratched her head and smiled: "Thank you, Xuanxuan."

Lin Xuanxuan's heart trembled when Li Hanxue called her so intimately. Her pretty face blushed slightly. She lowered her head slightly, and her big watery eyes secretly glanced at Li Hanxue. Li Hanxue did not notice Lin Xuanxuan's abnormality. His mind had drifted to the green-scaled beast in the distance.

Seeing that Li Hanxue looked normal, Lin Xuanxuan gradually recovered her composure and said, "By the way, before we leave, I have to remind you that the purple scales of the Qinglin beast are very precious. There are many people who will take on this task this time. The competition will be fierce. You should be careful."

"Yes, I know."

Li Hanxue took the map from Lin Xuanxuan, stuffed it into his arms, turned around and left Yipin Pavilion, and rushed to Daqingyuan without stopping.

Daqingyuan is a small grassland in a basin fifty miles away from Cangyun City. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, like a huge bowl. There are only two ways to get in. The first way is to slowly climb down the cliff. The second way is to swim in along the undercurrent of the river under the basin.

The undercurrent of the river is very turbulent, and the terrain is strange and complicated. Xuanwu warriors sometimes get lost, not to mention Ruowu and Duanwu warriors, so this method is not within Li Hanxue's consideration. Li Hanxue had to choose to go down the cliff.

After galloping all the way, two hours later, Li Hanxue arrived at the Daqing Mountain in Daqingyuan. Standing on the top of the high mountain, he looked down and marveled at the ingenious workmanship of nature. He saw green grass and colorful flowers in the basin, and streams winding around it, forming a regular circle.

Suddenly, a roar came from the center of the basin, and a series of slippery four-legged blue beasts twisted their bodies wildly, opened their bloody mouths and roared to the sky.

Around these blue-scaled beasts, dozens of tiny black dots were jumping at a very fast frequency. These black dots were obviously warriors. The blue-scaled beasts either tore or bit, or bumped or pounced, but they could never kill these agile warriors.

"It seems that someone is earlier than me, and I can't fall behind."

Li Hanxue jumped up, and a trace of true energy came out of his body, turning into airflow surging around his body, forming a thin wing, supporting his body, and quickly gliding to the center of the basin.
