Chapter 57 The Mission of Inspecting Disciples
Just as Lin Er was lamenting that he was running out of spirit stones and cultivation pills, there was a knock on the door.
He thought it was Flora, so he stood up from the center of the formation, went to the entrance, opened the door, and saw a silver-white suit of armor in front of him.
"Garres?"
Gareth bowed to him and said, "Brother Lin, have you seen my sister?"
He looked into the house as he spoke, but it was empty; Luna was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Er felt something was off. He and Luna weren't that close, so why had Gareth come to him looking for his sister?
"I've been home all day; your sister isn't with me."
Gareth scratched his head, looking surprised.
"That's strange."
Lin Er shook his head slightly and said, "Your sister Luna shouldn't be here. You can try looking for her elsewhere."
"Forget it, I won't look for her." Gareth waved his hand, then looked over with expectant eyes and said, "Brother Lin, you wouldn't be so unwelcoming as to let me in for a visit, would you?"
Lin Er: "..."
The protective formation in his house was still in place, and he certainly didn't welcome outsiders. Gareth, however, seemed to lack any self-awareness.
When Gareth saw that Lin Er suddenly fell silent, he quickly raised his hand, picked up a gift box, and shook it.
"No, I brought a gift."
Gareth quickly opened the gift box and found a bottle of pink potion inside, which looked extremely alluring.
[Low-grade Mind-Clearing Dew: Contains miraculous medicinal power; when taken internally, it clears away mental clutter, bringing clarity and restoring energy. Suitable for those below the Foundation Establishment stage.]
Although the potion looked suspicious, it was surprisingly effective.
Lin Er glanced at it and then looked away, saying, "Wait a moment."
He left those words behind and closed the door without hesitation.
Just as Gareth was feeling frustrated, thinking he had been turned away, the door reopened.
Lin Er said calmly, "Gareth, come in."
Gareth's expression brightened, and he quickly came in with a gift.
The furniture inside is simple and unpretentious, and the overall space is very clean.
"Your room is really simply furnished," Gareth couldn't help but remark.
Lin Er gave Gareth a faint reply and quickly brought over tea.
Gareth waved his hand and said, "No need, I don't really like tea."
Lin Er didn't insist. Gareth brought over the bottle of potion, grinning as he said:
"This is an energy potion that I went to great lengths to obtain; I'm even reluctant to use it myself. If you're with Ellie tonight, you can try it; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Gareth said with a sly grin on his face.
Lin Er finally understood what the potion was, and his vision went black. But it did indeed show up as Qingxin Dew, which made him both laugh and cry.
This is clearly Qingxin Dew; just consider this guy talking nonsense.
Lin Er has been busy cultivating these past few days and usually only visits Flora's house, so he is unaware of what's going on in the guild.
Now that Gareth was visiting, it presented an opportunity. He regained his composure and asked, "Has anything been going on with the guild lately?"
"I came here to tell you that the guild suspects that the evil dragon's minions will target the autumn harvest a month from now, so they have already issued a large number of bounties in advance."
This bounty is different; it has requirements regarding the number of people and their strength, and the guild will also send personnel to the front-line strongholds to provide guidance.
If you're going to participate this time, you can ask my sister to go with you. She's already at level two, and she's really good.
[You've learned about the sect's recent situation from your fellow disciples. As a member of the Patrol Hall, you have a duty to eliminate demons and help your fellow disciples.]
[Please join this cleanup operation as soon as possible. Patrol Hall disciples will receive rewards based on their contributions, with no upper limit. Basic reward: 1 bottle of Qi Cultivation Pill]
A quest has been triggered.
Lin Er carefully examined the contents. The basic rewards for this mission were already quite good, and there was no upper limit to them.
Doesn't this mean that as long as his contribution is high enough, he can fleece the system until it cries?
Suppressing his excitement, Lin Er asked:
"What are the requirements regarding the number of participants and their skill level?"
Seeing that Lin Er was indeed interested, Gareth replied:
"The team must have at least two Silver-level players, and the total number of players must be no less than four."
Lin Er thought to himself that he and Flora already met the strength requirements, so now he just needed to find two more people.
He immediately shook his head as soon as he looked at Gareth:
"My father has already warned me that I won't go this time. I'll focus on cultivating my earth element at home. You can go find my sister."
Thank you for letting me know.
Lin Er wasn't sure if Luna would join, as he hadn't seen her in a long time.
At this moment, Gareth suddenly said:
"By the way, I haven't seen Miss Flora lately. I don't know where she moved to, and she's not at the guild either."
Lin Er's expression was a little strange when he heard Gareth's words, but judging from Gareth's appearance, he really didn't know that Flora lived next door.
He changed the subject, saying, "Didn't you say you were going to focus on your cultivation lately?"
Flora was, after all, an important companion to him, and Lin Er didn't want to talk about it in front of outsiders.
"I've been working on it recently."
Gareth chuckled a few times, secretly relieved to see Lin Er's righteous demeanor.
He felt he was overthinking things. How could an upright ascetic like Lin Er focus his energy on women? He should learn more from Lin Er.
Gareth had barely finished speaking when there was a knock on the door.
Lin Er got up and went to open the door, but he wasn't sure who was outside.
When he opened the door, Flora's pretty face appeared before him, and she smiled at him.
Flora held the wooden lunchbox in both hands and handed it to Lin Er very skillfully after he opened the door.
"This is yours."
The two of them have been diligently cultivating morning and evening these past few days, especially Lin Er, who needs to circulate his energy through a full cycle and cannot be disturbed by the outside world, so they haven't been eating together.
Flora would always wait until Lin Er finished his training before bringing him food.
Today, Flora heard the sound of a door opening at Lin'er's house, and knew that he had finished his cultivation and came to deliver food as usual.
After delivering the lunchboxes, she noticed someone was inside. She frowned and whispered:
"It looks like Gareth. Don't tell him I'm here. Please keep it a secret."
"OK."
Lin Er nodded and carried the lunchbox back into the house.
He looked up at Gareth and saw that Gareth had casually asked a question, to which Gareth replied:
"Are those your guests outside?"
"Yes, she's my neighbor."
As Lin Er spoke, he placed the boxed lunch on the table.
Seeing this, Gareth couldn't help but speak up:
"Your neighbor is so kind to you, even bringing you food." Gareth paused, then added, "Then I won't disturb your meal any longer, I'll take my leave now."
