MEIWITA Chapter 652: Mission Crystal

Although Qing’yu Kingdom was only a medium-sized kingdom on the border of the Northern State, but the imperial capital was extremely luxurious and the streets were bustling with people.

“I’m going to hand in a mercenary mission I accepted before, how about you lot?” Lou Mu Yan looked at Mu’rong Qing and Fei Yan Chen, asking.

“Of course we’re going with you.” Mu’rong Qing brothers held the same thought.

On the way to Qing’yu Kingdom, Lou Mu Yan had reorganized Mu’rong Qing’s meridians again. The pure ice element in his body could also circulate freely now, and his body would no longer feel so burdened. He rarely felt so energetic and refreshed.

Fei Yan Chen didn’t hesitate too much and said: “I have nothing right now, so I’ll go with you.”

His third elder brother had sent him a message asking him to return at a later time, then wipe out those people altogether, so he wasn’t in any hurry to return to Bei’yuan Kingdom.

Along the way, he could interact with Lou Mu Yan more.

“Sure, up to you.” Lou Mu Yan took out the Communication Talisman Bu Zhan and the others gave her before, activated it, and received a reply soon.

Lou Mu Yan’s group directly rode the carriage to the Mercenary Union branch in Qing’yu Kingdom.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Mercenary Union, they saw Bu Zhan and his party.

“Mu Yan, you’ve arrived.” Bu Zhan and the others greeted enthusiastically.

Lou Mu Yan nodded with a smile: “Mm, I’m here to hand in the mission, have you all handed it in yet?”

“We were waiting for you.” Bu Zhan said with a smile.

“Then let’s go in together.” Lou Mu Yan still had a pretty good impression of Gale Mercenary Party’s people.

Bu Zhan and the others also saw Mu’rong Qing and the others following Lou Mu Yan. Although they were extremely surprised inwardly, but they didn’t ask any further questions.

In their eyes, Lou’s identity wasn’t simple at all to begin with, so they naturally wouldn’t pry into her privacy.

After handing in the mission, Lou Mu Yan saw someone beside them holding a transparent crystal with missions flashing within.

She pointed to the crystal at the Mercenary Union registration office and asked: “What’s that?”

“That’s the Mission Record Crystal. As long as you imprint your own mental energy mark on it, you can accept or issue missions anytime and anywhere.” The manager explained with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up, and she continued to ask: “How can I get a Mission Record Crystal?”

This was a good thing. She was planning to complete missions all the way to Zhong’zhou to begin with. If she had a Mission Record Crystal, she wouldn’t have to go to a city to accept and hand in missions, and she could even accept missions they could complete while travelling.

“Mission Record Crystals can be purchased by spending only twenty million low-quality spiritual stones, no other conditions are required.”

The manager paused, then said: “Although this price isn’t cheap, but each Mission Record Crystal is embedded with a grade 7 array and it was also refined by a grade 7 smith. It’s definitely of good value.”

“In addition to individuals, can mercenary parties also use it to accept missions?” Lou Mu Yan asked.

“Yes, any mercenaries and mercenary parties who have registered with our Mercenary Union can use it.”

The manager nodded: “And if you buy the Mission Record Crystal, you can also accept some restricted missions, and enjoy some privileges. It’s worth the money, Young Miss will definitely not regret it if you buy it.”

Mission Record Crystals wee originally aimed at large mercenary parties and high-level mercenaries with strong financial resources. Many special restrictive missions would only be issued on it, which could be regarded as a status symbol.

At least, mercenary parties below rank 5 wouldn’t be willing to buy such a Mission Record Crystal, or simply couldn’t afford it.  

He noticed that the Mu Feng Mercenary Party was only a rank 1 mercenary party, but they felt impressive and strong, hence he strongly recommended them to buy it.

“Sure, let’s get one.” Lou Mu Yan handed an interspatial ring containing twenty million low-quality spiritual stones to the manager.

When she was on Tian’ling Continent, she obtained many low-quality spiritual stones from Lan Si, so twenty million was a trivial matter to her.

Moreover, low-quality spiritual stones weren’t very useful to her except during trade. Whether it was the needs of the spirit pets, or the lowest consumption of arranging arrays, both required middle-quality spiritual stones.

Although the manager guessed that Lou Mu Yan would be tempted, but he didn’t expect her to be so straightforward.

After taking the interspatial ring and checking the amount inside, he smiled and handed a transparent Mission Record Crystal to Lou Mu Yan, saying: “Young Miss, you just need to mark it with your mental energy.

“By the way, there is information on how to use the Mission Record Crystal and the process of upgrading it within it, so Young Miss can take a closer look.” The manager added.

“Alright, thanks!”

Lou Mu Yan took the Mission Crystal in her hand and played with it. She was an advanced array master, so she could find out quickly if there was any tampering inside.

The array and restrictions of the Mission Crystal were perfectly constructed. Except for feeding information about the people completing the missions and the situation of accepting and handing in tasks to a certain place, there were no other hidden disadvantages.

So she branded her mental energy on it, then a layer of soft light circled the Mission Crystal, and many information also entered her sea of consciousness.

And right after Lou Mu Yan marked the Mission Crystal with her mental energy, information about her and the Mu Feng Mercenary Party was sent back to the headquarters of the Mercenary Union.

The elder in charge of the inspection checked the information and discovered that it was only a rank 1 mercenary party, so he temporarily put it aside without paying much attention.

After leaving the Mercenary Union, Lou Mu Yan exchanged a few words with Bu Zhan and his group, then left with Mu’rong Qing and the others.

“Mu Yan, what’re we going to do next?” Mu’rong Yu asked.

“Naturally to increase the rank of our mercenary party.”

Then Lou Mu Yan looked at Fei Yan Chen with a smile and said: “Fei Yan Chen, why don’t you issue a rank 4 escort mission. We can escort you to Bei’yuan Kingdom while earning points.”

Fei Yan Chen nodded in amusement: “Sure!”

He gave the golden-clothed elderly man a look, and the latter immediately ordered someone to issue a mission.

“Then are you going to escort us to Bei’yuan Kingdom?” Fei Yan Chen smiled and looked at Lou Mu Yan.

“Yeah! Your injury hasn’t completely healed yet, so I naturally have to follow.” Lou Mu Yan said with a half-smile: ‘And you still owe me ten level 8 spiritual herbs.”

“Have you advanced to a grade 8 alchemist?” Fei Yan Chen asked tentatively.

Lou Mu Yan flipped over the palm of her hands and shrugged: “No, that’s why I need to collect level 8 spiritual herbs to practice.”

There was shock hidden deep in Fei Yan Chen’s eyes. He didn’t expect that Lou Mu Yan was about to become a grade 8 alchemist at such a young age. If the grade 8 enshrined alchemist in the imperial family knew, he wondered if they’d be blinded.

He stretched out his hand subconsciously to rub his chin and his thoughts turned from one to another, thinking that it’d be good if he invited and ‘abducted’ Lou Mu Yan to the Bei’yuan Imperial Family to be an enshrined alchemist.

“The previous escort mission was ten grade 8 spiritual herbs. This time, the distance is even further. How about increasing it to twenty spiritual herbs?” Fei Yan Chen pressed his lips—’one couldn’t trap the wolf without sacrificing their chid’.

He had just received news that there was a problem with the Teleportation Array at Qing’yu Kingdom—it must’ve been his eldest brother’s doing. If he couldn’t teleport, then he had no choice but to continue to travel by carriage back to Bei’yuan Kingdom.
