Chapter 2174
Old Ghost heard Elder Zhang’s sigh and smiled proudly. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen but didn’t say anything.
Elder Zhang didn’t wait for Xiao Chen to answer and said directly, “I just made a suggestion. You don’t have to answer me now. Go back and think about it for a while.
It’s not too late to answer me after a while! ”
“Uh …” This time, it was Xiao Chen’s turn to be puzzled.
It was obvious that the elder was interested in Xiao Chen just now, but his attitude had changed again after a short conversation with the old man, which made Xiao Chen feel quite annoyed.
Consider? What was there to consider? Was there anything better in the world than this?
He really wanted to say that he didn’t need to think about it and agree immediately.
However, he was still very sensitive to the meaning behind Elder Zhang’s words. It was obvious that he didn’t want him to continue to be entangled in this matter. Therefore, although Xiao Chen was a little disappointed, he still agreed respectfully.
Then, he looked at Old Ghost again.
Although he was very clear that the reason he couldn’t agree directly was mostly related to Old Ghost, after all, there was a big gap between their identities, strength, and status. He didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction. He just stood at the side and didn’t say anything.
“Hehe …” Old Ghost was a powerhouse in the Celestial King Realm.
Even if Xiao Chen didn’t show any emotions now, how many things had he experienced?
Just from the look that Xiao Chen just looked at him, he could know what was going on in Xiao Chen’s mind. However, Old Ghost didn’t explain anything. He just chuckled and didn’t say anything more.
“Kid, help me sort out these materials, and then you can go,” Elder Zhang said to Xiao Chen in an indifferent tone.
“Yes!”
The kid didn’t have any hesitation. He walked over and sorted out all the materials. Then, his task this time was considered to be successfully completed.
“Give me your disciple token.”
After seeing that Xiao Chen had completed all the tasks, Elder Zhang didn’t directly take out his reward. Instead, he asked for Xiao Chen’s identity token!
Xiao Chen was already used to this. After all, he had done so many missions before.
After so many tasks, the elders wouldn’t give him anything directly. Instead, they would directly transfer some contribution points to him as an additional reward. Now, Elder Zhang was obviously doing the same.
After a while, Elder Zhang had already handed over the identity token. Xiao Chen used his divine sense to take a look, then immediately bowed to Elder Zhang respectfully and said, “Thank you Elder Zhang for the reward. I can’t thank you enough.”
“Alright, you can go back!” Elder Zhang just smiled and nodded, then directly let Xiao Chen leave.
Xiao Chen bowed to Elder Zhang and Old Man Gui, then left. On his way back, he was filled with emotions.
Although the additional reward that Elder Zhang gave him this time was not as much as the first time, which was a total of 300,000 Contribution Points, it was still a total of 10,000 Contribution Points.
That was 10,000 contribution points!
In the past half a year, he had completed so many missions, but the most he could get was a reward of 100 Contribution Points each time. This time, Elder Zhang directly gave him 10,000 Contribution Points as a reward. Compared to this, one could see how generous Elder Zhang was.
One had to know that Xiao Chen had not helped Elder Zhang with anything this time. He had only been an assistant, and he had even failed once in the smelting process, wasting six precious medicinal ingredients. But even under such circumstances, Elder Zhang had still given him an additional 10,000 Contribution Points as a reward. How could Xiao Chen not be overjoyed?
This made him even more certain that although Elder Zhang had a strange temper, he was truly a generous person. Moreover, he had also made up his mind that in the future, as long as it was a mission from Elder Zhang, as long as he could see it, he would definitely do his best to snatch it.
After all, completing a mission for Elder Zhang was equivalent to completing over a hundred missions for others!
Moreover, he felt that he had more or less figured out Elder Zhang’s temper. As long as he did not anger Elder Zhang, it was simply too easy to earn Contribution Points from Elder Zhang.
Elder Zhang was an elder of the Celestial King Realm and the most powerful alchemist in the sect. One could imagine how rich he was. As long as he deliberately won Elder Zhang’s favor, it was really too easy to earn Contribution Points.
“Moreover, previously, listening to Elder Zhang’s words, he seemed to be full of admiration for me and wanted me to follow him to refine pills. In this way, can it be understood that Elder Zhang actually quite approved of me?
It’s just that I don’t know why I was interrupted at the last moment by Old Ghost. But it doesn’t matter. As long as I go to Elder Zhang to complete more missions in the future and build a better relationship with Elder Zhang, my future in the sect will definitely be easier. “On the way back, Xiao Chen kept pondering in his heart.
And the more he thought about it, the more he felt that as long as he did not make any big mistakes in the future, he should be able to pass the assessment 100 years later this time.
“Little Zhong, do you think it is still necessary for us to do missions like crazy now?
Right now, I don’t even want to go to the other elders to help them.
Some of those elders are fine, but the others are really too difficult to please.
Moreover, their efforts are often unrewarding. Rather than giving them a year’s worth of missions, it is better to go to Elder Zhang to do it once. “Xiao Chen also could not make up his mind. He still planned to ask for Donghuang Zhong’s opinion.
“En … I think Big Brother Xiao’s idea just now is right. This Elder Zhang seems to like Big Brother Xiao’s talent in alchemy, so he probably wants to take you in as his disciple.
Therefore, I think Big Brother Xiao only needs to go to Elder Zhang’s place to familiarize himself with him. As long as you occasionally do some missions from the other elders, it will not be too little. “Donghuang Zhong also had an idea after pondering for a while.
“After all, what Big Brother Xiao said is indeed the truth. Going to the other elders is indeed arduous and unrewarding. Moreover, as long as you can get Elder Zhang’s approval, Big Brother Xiao can definitely stay in the inner sect.
At that time, it does not matter whether you do the missions from the other elders or not. Therefore, Big Brother Xiao’s next task is to go and get Elder Zhang’s approval. The rest of the time should be used for cultivation. After all, the current situation is different from before. Now that Elder Zhang wants to take you in as a disciple, we naturally have to change our strategy. ”
Donghuang Zhong quickly sorted out the key points and suggested to Xiao Chen.
