Chapter 979 The Second Thing
After completing the sect mission and receiving the three thousand sect contributions, Duan Qing went straight to the sect shop.
He did not forget his original intention of completing the sect mission this time.
He must have refined the Thousand Machine Disk and the Small Teleportation Array Disk before the opening of the Broken Star Palace.
If he had the Small Teleportation Array Disk with him, he could have avoided the trouble of being chased by Mo Jian and the other two this time. He could have directly used the Small Teleportation Array Disk to teleport back to the sect, and then sued Mo Jian and let the sect deal with Mo Jian.
But there was no way, Mo Jian brought Xie Er with him, and he was not faster than Xie Er's arrow. If he did not kill Xie Er, he would be killed.
So he could only let the Illusion Butterfly take action, temporarily control Xie Er, and kill Xie Er by surprise, and later took the opportunity to kill Mo Jian as well.
Although he did not regret killing Mo Jian, this incident gave him a warning and made him realize the importance of the Small Teleportation Array Disk.
Some things, whether they are temporarily useful or not, must be available at critical times.
Soon, Duan Qing exchanged the required materials at the sect shop.
He used up almost all of the three thousand sect contributions at once, and exchanged them all for materials for refining small teleportation arrays and thousand machine disks.
Among them, the materials for small teleportation arrays only accounted for a small number, and most of them were materials for refining thousand machine disks.
Because small teleportation arrays can be used multiple times as long as the teleportation marks are arranged in the selected place in advance.
And the thousand machine disk is purely a one-time consumable, so he prepared a lot.
He estimated that the materials he exchanged were enough for him to refine thousands of thousand machine disks.
It must be said that exchanging items with sect contributions at the sect shop is much more cost-effective than exchanging them for spirit stones.
This is also the reason why many people from the Shinto sect are keen to complete the sect tasks.
…
In a flash, more than 20 days have passed.
Since Duan Qing brought Meng Zhuang into the Shinto sect more than 20 days ago, Meng Zhuang has been staying in Qingfengjian.
Because Duan Qing had told Mu Yu earlier that Meng Zhuang wanted to take a place in the Star-Breaking Stone, Meng Zhuang's arrival did not cause any waves.
During this period, the death of Mo Jian, Xie Er and the other two was reported in the sect, causing an uproar.
Fortunately, there is no sign pointing to Duan Qing in this matter, and no one has questioned Duan Qing about it.
In the past twenty days, Duan Qing has not left Qingfengjian for a single step, and stayed in the cave all day to refine small teleportation arrays and thousands of machine disks.
He refined three small teleportation arrays and thousands of machine disks in one breath, just in case of emergency.
Even though Duan Qing was very energetic, he felt a little overwhelmed to refine so many thousand machine disks in one breath.
You should know that in the Shuiyue Cemetery, Gongsun Long and Yu Fan worked together to refine only eighty-one thousand machine disks, which took three or four days. On average, each person only refined ten or so per day.
And Duan Qing refined thousands of them in one breath in the past twenty days, which was several times faster than the two.
Thanks to his strong attainments in refining weapons and his vigorous energy far exceeding that of ordinary people, he was able to produce so many thousand machine disks.
That night, Duan Qing was resting with his eyes closed, but suddenly heard footsteps outside the cave.
He didn't need to look, just by listening to the brisk footsteps, he knew who was coming.
Sure enough, after a while, Xue Wanyun entered Duan Qing's sight with a trace of worry on her face.
Duan Qing stood up and greeted her, smiling and saying, "Senior Sister!"
Xue Wanyun glanced around the cave, a little absent-minded: "Are you done?"
Duan Qing nodded, noticed Xue Wanyun's strangeness, and couldn't help asking, "Senior Sister, what's on your mind?"
Xue Wanyun sighed lightly: "Fool, it's been almost fifteen years since you and I met in Yongling Valley in Xiaonanjie!"
Duan Qing made a rough estimate in his mind and said with emotion: "No more, no less!"
Xue Wanyun thought about what had happened in the years since she met Duan Qing, and she was speechless for a while.
After a while, she looked at Duan Qing with a serious face: "Idiot, do you still remember what you promised me in Yongling Valley?"
Duan Qing immediately understood what Xue Wanyun was referring to.
Back then in Yongling Valley, he promised to help Xue Wanyun do three things, and now so many years have passed, he has only completed the first one, taking Xue Wanyun to travel around Xiaonanjie.
As for the remaining two things, although Xue Wanyun never mentioned them, he never forgot them in his heart.
Thinking of this, he solemnly said: "Do you have any instructions, Senior Sister?"
Xue Wanyun looked at Duan Qing, her face became more serious: "The Broken Star Palace is dangerous. This time, Idiot, you certainly have the protection of Senior Meng Zhuang, but things are unpredictable, I...!"
Speaking of this, Xue Wanyun paused, and the seriousness on her face gradually turned into tenderness. She gently lowered her head, and then suddenly raised it again, staring at Duan Qing affectionately.
"Idiot, I want you to promise that you will not show off your ability when encountering things, and you must leave the Broken Star Palace alive!"
"This is the second thing that Senior Sister wants you to complete, you must agree!"
Hearing Xue Wanyun's words, Duan Qing was very touched, and his eyes became soft.
Immediately, he nodded firmly and said: "Senior Sister, don't worry, Junior Brother will definitely leave alive!"
After that, Duan Qing suddenly stepped forward, pressed Xue Wanyun's shoulders, and said seriously: "Senior Sister, you must also promise that you will come back alive!"
Without waiting for Xue Wanyun to respond, he took Xue Wanyun into his arms again and whispered: "After the Broken Star Palace incident is over, I will ask Master for marriage, and you and I will become Taoist partners and go to the Fairy Spirit Star together."
He and Xue Wanyun have known each other for a long time. After all these years of getting along, he has long been able to face his heart and know clearly what he is pursuing.
In this life, he only wants Xue Wanyun to be his partner.
In fact, he has long had the idea of becoming a Taoist partner with Xue Wanyun, but he feels that he is not good enough and is not worthy of Xue Wanyun.
After all, Xue Wanyun is the daughter of Master Mu Yu and has a noble status. If he does not know his own ability to mention this matter, even if Xue Wanyun and Master agree, there will inevitably be gossip in the sect.
So over the years, he has been practicing hard to improve his strength.
When the matter of the Broken Star Palace is over, if everything goes well, he should be able to break through to the Spiritual Life Realm soon and his strength will reach a new level.
By then, he is confident that with his strength, he should not be weaker than Yang Huang. When he goes to marry Xue Wanyun at that time, no one in the sect will dare to say anything.
Hearing Duan Qing say that he wanted to marry her and go to the Fairy Star together, Xue Wanyun's delicate body trembled slightly, and then she burst into tears of joy, nodding desperately in Duan Qing's arms.
She had waited for this speech for too long!
Ever since she and Duan Qing escaped from the wasteland of Yunzhou, she understood Duan Qing's feelings, and she had long been determined in her heart that she would not marry anyone other than Duan Qing in this life.
But she was a woman after all, so how could she take the initiative to propose marriage.
At the same time, she also understood Duan Qing's difficulties.
Therefore, over the years, she has been silently waiting for Duan Qing, waiting for the day when Duan Qing is fully grown and the two finally become a couple.
Now, she has finally waited for Duan Qing's promise, and God knows how happy she is in her heart.
