Thinking of this, Lu Yi murmured to himself, ''I must provide disaster relief!''
As Lu Yi had this thought, words appeared on the panel.
[Task]
Disaster Relief in Mohe Kingdom
Rewards will be determined based on the extent of relief efforts.
Accept: Yes/No
It can really issue missions?
Lu Yi was momentarily stunned, then felt a trace of joy.
Seeing the state of the disaster victims had touched Lu Yi''s heart. Now he could help those people and also earn rewards—a win-win situation.
Seeing Lu Yi in a daze, Jiang Fan glanced at him and asked, "Lu Junior Brother, what''s wrong?"
Lu Yi snapped out of his thoughts and smiled. "Nothing."
He turned to Li Qing and asked, "Do you know where that demonic cultivator is right now? If you do, we can handle it immediately."
For Lu Yi, a demonic cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining was not a significant threat.
Hearing this, Li Qing quickly responded, "Recently, there have been more disappearances in the capital. However, perhaps due to the previous battle, that demonic cultivator has become more cautious. The missing persons are all vagrants. But because we’ve tightened our inspections of vagrants since the last incident, we were able to detect the problem early."
"However," Li Qing paused and continued, "We still can’t determine the exact location of the demonic cultivator. It will take some time."
Hearing this, Bai Yulong’s eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully, "Then you should find the location as soon as possible. In the meantime, we’ll stay in the capital."
Seeing Bai Yulong’s excitement, Lu Yi felt a bit strange. ''This guy… is he planning to visit the brothels? Shameful!''
Lu Yi nodded and said, "Alright then. Please confirm the location first. By the way, I have another matter to discuss."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong looked at Lu Yi in surprise.
"Lu Junior Brother, another matter?" Jiang Fan asked, puzzled.
Their task only involved dealing with the demonic cultivator.
Mo Ling, the King of Mohe Kingdom, immediately straightened up and said respectfully, "Immortal Master, what is your command? I will do my utmost to fulfill it!"
Lu Yi smiled lightly. "While passing through Mohe Kingdom, I saw many people displaced, disaster victims everywhere. I felt pity for them and wanted to ask Your Majesty to help with disaster relief."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Bai Yulong looked at Lu Yi in shock. "Disaster relief? Lu Junior Brother... mortal lives are fleeting. Why bother?"
Jiang Fan remained silent, looking at Lu Yi with a bit of surprise.This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
Even Li Qing, Mo Ling, and the others were astonished, staring at Lu Yi in disbelief.
They had never expected Lu Yi’s concern to be about disaster relief.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "It’s true that mortal lives are fleeting. Even if I save them this time, I can’t save them every time. However, having seen their suffering, I’d feel uneasy turning a blind eye. Consider it my personal whim."
The room fell silent. Jiang Fan chuckled and said, "Back in the outer sect, Lu Junior Brother always considered others’ feelings during sparring and treated his peers like family. I didn’t expect him to have the same compassion for mortals. Junior Brother, your kind heart is admirable."
Bai Yulong also recalled the discussions about Lu Yi during the outer sect competition. Looking at Lu Yi, his expression was complicated, and he said with a bitter smile, "Junior Brother, your righteousness is commendable."
Li Qing and Mo Ling exchanged glances, both clearly amazed.
They realized that this seemingly young leading cultivator was different from most others.
The young princes looked at Lu Yi with hesitant expressions.
To them, the lives of a few lowly commoners hardly seemed worth the attention of an immortal. However, as princes, they couldn’t voice such thoughts and could only keep them to themselves.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "You flatter me, Senior Brothers. I’m simply doing this for peace of mind."
Then, he turned to Mo Ling and asked, "Can Your Majesty fulfill this request?"
"This..." Mo Ling smiled bitterly and said, "I have been trying to provide disaster relief, but Mohe Kingdom is small, and the treasury is not wealthy. Even if I wish to help, resources are scarce."
Lu Yi wasn’t convinced. Mohe Kingdom was indeed small, evident from the fact that its strongest cultivator was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining. However, the capital’s prosperity contrasted sharply with the plight outside. Claiming a lack of resources for relief didn’t quite add up.
He took out a white porcelain bottle and said with a smile, "Here are three Top-grade Qi Condensation Pills."
As soon as Lu Yi spoke, the room fell silent.
Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong stared at the bottle in shock.
Top-grade Qi Condensation Pills!
Even though both had strong backers, such pills were still incredibly precious to them.
For Li Qing and the other cultivators, who were essentially rogue cultivators after leaving White Cloud Sect, such pills were beyond imagination.
They stared at the bottle, their eyes nearly popping out.
Mo Ling, the King of Mohe, also understood the value of these pills. Though he lacked cultivation talent, he was familiar with basic knowledge about cultivators.
Staring at the pills, Mo Ling’s breathing quickened.
Seeing his reaction, Lu Yi pointed at a boy about eleven or twelve years old standing close to Mo Ling and smiled. "Is this your child? He has some talent for cultivation. With these three pills, he should be able to pass White Cloud Sect’s entrance exam and join the sect."
"I-I-I... Immortal Master! I swear to mobilize the entire treasury and spare no effort for disaster relief!" Mo Ling’s face was filled with determination, his eyes burning with passion.
If his son could join White Cloud Sect, the kingdom would be protected for a hundred years! For Mohe Kingdom, it meant stability and peace.
These three pills were priceless!
Lu Yi smiled and said, "I’ll hand over the pills once I see results. My offer is only valid until this mission ends."
After all, while Lu Yi wanted to help the disaster victims, he couldn’t stay in Mohe Kingdom forever.
Mo Ling nodded firmly. "Rest assured, Immortal Master! I will show results within a few days!"
Lu Yi smiled. "Alright, arrange our lodgings, and inform us once you confirm the demonic cultivator’s location."
Mo Ling immediately said, "The palace has prepared accommodations for the Immortal Masters. Please follow me."
Led by Mo Ling, the group arrived at an elegant palace. Mo Ling said, "This will be your residence. Do the Immortal Masters find it satisfactory?"
He glanced at Lu Yi, knowing he was the decision-maker. As long as Lu Yi was satisfied, the others wouldn’t object.
Lu Yi smiled. "This is fine."
Mo Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will take my leave to prepare for the relief efforts." He then hurried off with Li Qing and the others, leaving Lu Yi’s group behind.
Once they were alone, Bai Yulong looked pained and said, "Lu Junior Brother! How could you give such precious pills to that king?! He’s not worth it!"
Even Jiang Fan looked conflicted and smiled bitterly. "Lu Junior Brother, your kindness is admirable, but that’s three Top-grade Qi Condensation Pills!"
