Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Chapter 60: Looking for Hidden Missions

Zyian Light Realm, teleportation field.

A young man in a blue robe, with short black hair, stepped out of the portal.

The area where he was currently located seemed like a teleportation zone for people from various other races. Judging by the architecture and the guards, it was evident that this was the realm of cultivators.

The young man observed the surroundings for a moment before approaching one of the posts.

"Welcome, sir. Which realm do you come from?"

A guard at the post asked respectfully.

"Lein, Divine Sky Realm, System power, Tier-3."

Lein had gone through such registration processes several times before, so he directly provided all the necessary information.

"Very well, sir..." The guard quickly noted down all the information. After finishing, he handed a silver card to Lein.

"Thank you..."

Lein took it and then stepped out of the post.

His journey to another race's realm this time was to explore a high-level realm. He hoped for hidden missions like Elder Wen's and the boy Liang Wei's to appear again.

"Hmmm... Let's take a look around first," Lein said casually.

...

"Spiritual rice, 100 crystals for 1 liter."

"Earth-level weapon, suitable for stealth attacks."

"Tier-2 healing pill, protective talisman, Tier-2 array."

...

The loud cries of the vendors were incessant along the marketplace. Not much different from a market on Earth, except that the goods they sold were all imbued with spiritual energy.

Lein deliberately came to the market to try his luck.

"I hope an old master is hiding in this market," Lein said with a small smile.

He passed by several stalls and stopped at a tent-covered shop. This shop looked antique and sold strange items.

"Honorable sir, you have a keen eye."

An old, skinny man with a haggard face greeted Lein's arrival. He acted mysteriously as if he knew everything.

"Look at this, it is the first part of the sword from King Nehru the 16th. Finding the other parts will grant great power."

"Only 300 crystals, and this sword will be yours," The old man extended a broken sword with a confident gaze.

Lein observed the sword, and a status panel appeared.

(Teras Stone Sword)

- Level 7

- Attributes: STR 23, AGI 7

- (Rust Poison) inflicts tetanus poison on enemies.

"King what? A broken, rotten sword like this for 300 crystals?" Lein frowned. The first shop he visited turned out to be a master scammer.

"Not interested, I want the most expensive item you have," Lein did not want to play games with the old man in front of him and directly asked for his most prized item.

"A smart young man, I see you have a great desire for power."

"I have long kept this item, but since you want it, I am forced to bring it out."

The old man slightly lifted his butt, then took out a box he had been sitting on earlier.

He opened the box and took out a scroll.

"Take it..."

"This is the treasure map of the immortal master Bao Jia. It is said that there is an immortal artifact within it."

The old man spoke in a low voice, whispering when he mentioned words he considered taboo.

Lein calmly observed the old man in front of him, ignoring all his nonsense. He only cared about the scroll in the old man's hand and examined it.

(Bao Jia's Treasure Map - Fake)

A map leading to the treasure chest of the immortal Bao Jia. Bao Jia is the most famous immortal during the reign of King Cai Ya. He protected the Tonghua realm for hundreds of thousands of years.

- Bao Jia's Treasure Chest

*Note: Bao Jia's map is very famous, so many fake maps are circulating. Be careful not to get one.

"This old man!!!" Lein cursed in his heart.

The map given by the old man was a fake map.

"Old man... Stop playing games, or I will leave," Lein intended to stand and leave the old fox's shop in front of him.

"Wait!!!"

"10 Crystals, for a water talisman," the old man took out a blue talisman.

But before he could take it out, Lein had already left. One accurate thing about the novels told on Earth might be the scammers like this old man.

Lein continued to wander around the city market for several hours. He sometimes stopped to look at the goods in a shop. However, most of them were scammers, fortunately, he had the system panel.

But it was not uncommon for him to find unique and useful items such as pills, weapons, and formation arrays. He would buy them for evaluation materials for the development of his life city.

"Not a single hidden mission?"

"Is it only high-level power individuals who can issue hidden missions?"

For about an hour of wandering the market, not a single hidden mission was issued. Lein had tried stopping at shops that looked strange, but they were all master scammers.

Gru...gr...

"Even my stomach is exhausted right now, let's find some food first," Lein said in his heart.

Lein left the market area and then looked for a nearby restaurant for lunch.

The city's main street was very crowded, not losing to the market. However, the people passing by on the street were better off financially and in terms of power level.

Every few people who passed by, someone with the foundation-building cultivation level could be seen. While in the life city, there were no more than 20 people with Tier-2 level, except for Lein's people, of course.

It didn't take long for Lein to find a roadside eatery.

The place's decoration was very simple, with wooden seats and a ceiling blackened by smoke from long exposure to fire.

"Welcome to Yimen's eatery, sir, what would you like to order?"

A woman asked from behind the cooking counter.

Lein raised his hand and said, "Fuyi fish soup." He didn't know what Fuyi fish was like, but since it was on the lost menu, he wanted to try it.
