C3068 New Mission
Chen Xiao took a look and chose a seat not far away from the fire kite. He sat down, and only then did he feel less depressed.
That's right, he felt depressed.
This was the greatest feeling Chen Xiao could feel from Huo Yuan. It was suppression. Whether it was in terms of strength or status, Huo Yuan was far above him. It was as if he was born with the aura of a superior person.
This kind of aura could not be faked. It would only appear naturally after years and months of accumulation.
It could even be said that it could be said that what Chen Xiao saw was... It could even be said that what ___ saw on the table was just some paper and a very inconspicuous pen, but in reality, this tiny pen in the hands of the Fire Yuan Tower's Tower Master controlled the life and death of countless people.
Other people's lives were most likely just a few words written by Huo Yuan's brush. When he thought about it, he immediately felt a great sense of reverence.
After Chen Xiao sat down, only then did the Fire Yuan Tower's Tower Master gently raise her head. On her beautiful face, it seemed that she had become a little more tired due to the tiredness of the past few days.
She forced a smile on her iceberg-like face and said, "It seems that you have recovered quite well these days."
The improvement in Chen Xiao's strength could be seen at a glance. It could not be concealed.
Of course, he did not think of hiding it from Huo Yuan.
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "I have to thank Senior Sister Huo Yuan for your Immortal Pill. Not only did it help me recover from my injuries, it also helped me improve a little."
The miraculous power of the Fire Yuan Pill had indeed exceeded Chen Xiao's expectation. Not only had it cured the internal injuries in his body, it had also helped him condense the Green Fire Heavenly Flame and the Myriad Soul Flame into one, becoming the Green Fire Immortal Flame. His strength had improved a lot.
This was a great help to Chen Xiao. He would naturally remember it in his heart. If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely repay it.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuan smiled and said, "It's just a medicinal pill. It's nothing. Although the Immortal Pill is good, you have to rely on yourself to make such progress."
It was just as Huo Yuan said. Although the Immortal Pill was good, Chen Xiao's improvement was mainly because of himself. This was true.
A single pill needed to perfectly refine the medicinal strength and make use of it. There weren't many cultivators who could achieve these two things at the same time.
Although that was what he said, Chen Xiao didn't dare to be careless.
"Senior Sister Huo Yuan is too modest." Chen Xiao replied.
Senior Sister Huo was just being polite. He wouldn't be so stupid as to not recognize her tone.
As expected, the smile on Senior Sister Huo Yuan's face became even wider when she heard what Chen Xiao said. She nodded slightly and didn't continue to talk about this topic.
It was good that they knew each other well. There was no need to speak too bluntly. That would be vulgar.
After a pause, senior sister Huo Yuan continued, "I think you've heard about some things as well. That's right. The current situation is very unfavorable to us. The merchant ships are in trouble one after another, be it people or goods. They've all gone missing. There's another piece of news. Your subordinate, Xiaolong, I have already sent someone to investigate his whereabouts. But so far, there hasn't been any useful news. You need to be mentally prepared. "
Hearing this, Chen Xiao took a deep breath.
As expected, this piece of news was the same as what Yue Yao had said. However, when it came out of Huo Yuan's mouth, it was obviously more important.
His face darkened slightly, and he said, "Alright, I understand. I will investigate this matter myself. If you have any instructions, just say it."
This was the right thing to do. Chen Xiao's identity had changed, and he could be considered an elder of the Redbud Chamber of Commerce.
It was only right for him to do something for the Redbud Chamber of Commerce.
Otherwise, why would he be able to use this secret underground chamber for several months with a clear conscience?
After all, the standard of the underground secret chamber of the Treasure Tower was extremely high. Even if a Tribulation Transcender were to cultivate within it, it would be greatly beneficial to him. He didn't know how much wealth he'd expended, so how could it be something that an ordinary person could use?
Chen Xiao naturally had to contribute when he obtained the benefits.
Huo Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had been staring at Chen Xiao's face the whole time. No one knew what he was looking at. A moment later... She said, "I didn't want to trouble you with this matter. After all, you brought back the news about the Wind Shadow Battle Armor. It's already considered a great contribution, but right now, there's really a limited number of people... There's no one else I can use, I just need to trouble you to make a trip"
"Nothing is perfect in a nest. I can do whatever I have to do. Senior Sister Huo Yuan, just tell me. I will do my best." Chen Xiao replied in a deep voice.
He understood this principle. Instead of saying that he was working for Huo Yuan, he was also working for ___. It would be very beneficial for him.
Now, the Redbud Chamber of Commerce had suffered a great loss. So many Tribulation Transcenders had died, and so many vacancies had been vacated. If he could survive this wave, he would naturally be able to rise in the ranks of the Redbud Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, from another perspective, between him and the Cloud Sky Pavilion... He had long since become enemies with the Cloud Sky Pavilion, and there was even a place where he would not rest until he died. Once the Chamber of Commerce really crossed over, he would not have a reliable protection. One could imagine what would happen.
At that time, he would probably only have to flee everywhere, and the four seas would be his home.
However, that kind of life was not what he wanted.
Therefore, in order to avoid the worst-case scenario, Chen Xiao had to work hard and suppress Cloud Sky Pavilion. This was the most beneficial thing to Chen Xiao.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuan thought for a moment. Then, a jade slip appeared out of thin air in his right hand. He handed it to Chen Xiao through the air and said, "This is the information and the relevant map. Take a look at it. If you have no objections, you will be in charge of this mission. "
The jade slip was very ordinary. It could even be said to be very simple and inconspicuous. However, after Chen Xiao checked it a little, he was still shocked.
He frowned and said, "How could the loss be so great?"
According to the information he received, at least a few billion immortal jades worth of goods and treasures had disappeared during the accident on the merchant ship.
According to the inference, it was highly likely that all of them had been snatched away by the people of Cloud Sky Pavilion.
However, in Chen Xiao's point of view, why didn't they keep such a large amount of goods and treasures properly? Instead, they would be robbed by the people of Cloud Sky Pavilion. This was really unreasonable.
One should know that because of the existence of storage rings, even if there were too many goods, it would be fine as long as there were a few more storage rings. Also, if a Tribulation Transcender carried such a large amount of treasures with him, there was no way that he would be robbed.
This incident seemed a little strange.
Hearing this, Huo Yuan sneered and his expression became a little colder. He said faintly, "Chen Xiao, you think too simply. As a businessman, no one would be willing to give the goods and treasures to others for safekeeping, even if the reputation of the Redbud Chamber of Commerce is as good as ours. Some people will always think of holding back and are only willing to hold the goods in their hands. Then hire Tribulation Transcenders as protection. Hehe. "
