After receiving the Hidden Weapon mission, Murong Xiaoxiao finally Understood the background of the situation. She silently vowed to learn more about Asking Heaven and not to hold back Lufeng anymore.
As for Murong Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts, Lufeng was naturally unaware. At this moment, he was fully focused on the mission and did not say much along the way.
A few minutes later, Lufeng and the others found Duan Yanqing.
Seeing Duan Yanqing again, Lufeng felt a mix of emotions. Just a moment ago, he wanted to kill him, but now he had to establish a relationship with him, which was quite conflicting.
For the sake of Hidden Weapon, Lufeng gritted his teeth and decided to let go of his chance to be a good person in this virtual world.
“Hello, Mr. Duan, we are here to inquire about the Locust Stone,” Lufeng said with cupped hands.
Duan Yanqing looked at Lufeng and after a while said, “I remember you; you must be the kid I met in Wanjie Valley.”
Lufeng did not expect to be recognized so quickly. Denying it was impossible, so he could only nod nervously, fearing that Duan Yanqing would refuse to give him the mission.
Gao Chao and the others were also extremely tense; just moments ago, he had fought fiercely against him as if he were facing an enemy who killed his father.
However, what followed from Duan Yanqing eased the tension in Lufeng and the others instantly.
“You are different from those hypocrites among the righteous sects; you are a true gentleman,” Duan Yanqing said with a smile.
Lufeng was astonished: “You don’t blame me for attacking you earlier?”
Duan Yanqing shook his head: “I already knew Duan Zhengming's intentions. If he truly wanted to kill me, could I have escaped? Since I have allowed Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing to commit such unethical acts, it has relieved some of my grievances. I am grateful that you did not kill me; I appreciate true gentlemen like you. It seems you have come to the right person regarding your inquiry about the Locust Stone!”
Duan Yanqing changed his previous self-reference and kept calling himself “old man,” which made it tiring for others to listen.
Lufeng smiled slightly: "I heard from Zhao the Master that you are the founder of Locust Stone!"
Duan Yanqing nodded: "That's right, this Locust Stone was created by me! How about this, I heard from Cloud Crane that Tao Xianqiu from Dali seems to have some dissatisfaction with Brother Duan Zhengming. This person might be useful to me. Can you help me find out more details?"
"Of course!" Lufeng silently accepted this task—【Duan Yanqing Mission】.
Mission Objective: Go find Tao Xianqiu in Dali to inquire about the details.
After receiving the mission, Lufeng bid farewell to Duan Yanqing, feeling a sense of sympathy for him. Looking at Duan Yanqing's actions, it was clear he was determined to fight to the death against Duan Zhengming. Anyone in his position would feel the same way; his rightful throne had been taken away by his uncle's son, leaving him in such a predicament. Just thinking about it was heart-wrenching.
In this regard, Gao Chao and others were also discussing it, talking about stories from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Lufeng shook his head and headed towards where Tao Xianqiu was located.
Tao Xianqiu was a wandering doctor, situated at the west city gate of Dali City, specializing in treating passing players. Of course, it wasn't free and was quite expensive.
Upon seeing Lufeng, Tao Xianqiu smiled slightly and said warmly, "If you need treatment, I will help you restore your health and vitality. Of course, if your Rare Beast Baby is injured, I can help it heal as well. Don't hesitate to come find me often."
After hearing what Tao Xianqiu said, Lufeng couldn't help but admire this type of doctor who resembled a salesperson in reality. They first offer you a bunch of good things, then ask you to sign something or leave your phone number, and finally mention a service fee or cost fee. But what cost? It's higher than the original price at the store. This deeply made Lufeng understand that there’s no limit to how much one can be scammed; there are only worse scams.
Having been deceived before, Lufeng had accumulated some experience in the world and naturally wouldn't fall for Tao Xianqiu's medical cost scam. Without further ado, he directly stated his purpose.
Upon hearing Duan Yanqing, Tao Xianqiu became hesitant and started mumbling some cryptic phrases that Lufeng couldn't understand: "The breakfast last night was nice~ The moon during the day today is quite round..."
Lufeng: "..."
Gao Chao and others were puzzled: "Eating breakfast at night and talking about the moon during the day; I don't know if I misheard or if Tao Xianqiu has lost his mind."
Seeing that the mission prompt had already been completed, Lufeng ignored the incoherent ramblings of Tao Xianqiu.
Suddenly, Qin Shou remembered something and reminded, "Boss, I just recalled that there seems to be an Eagle nearby that we can take back, and we can all ride together!"
Lufeng couldn't help but praise, "Not bad, your Internal Test has finally been useful for our team. Hurry up and show us where it is."
"Hehe~ Of course, otherwise I would have experienced it for nothing," Qin Shou laughed happily, looking a bit smug.
Under Qin Shou's guidance, they found the Falcon Tamer nearby. Lufeng activated the team mode and they boarded the Eagle to return the same way.
Now that the Eagle could carry the whole team, Wang Xiaojing and Murong Xiaoxiao were pleasantly surprised. The two snuggled closely beside Lufeng, making Gao Chao and the others envious. Qin Shou secretly vowed never to remind them again; it was definitely a foolish thing that made him feel jealous.
Once on the Eagle, their movement speed increased by 100%, and in less than a minute, Lufeng and the others were transported from the west to the southeast corner, ten times faster than their previous journey.
Seeing Lufeng return, Duan Yanqing quickly asked, "Did you find out the accurate situation?"
Lufeng wasn't sure if what he learned was what Duan Yanqing wanted to know, but he still conveyed Tao Xianqiu's exact words.
After listening to Lufeng's account, Duan Yanqing expressed his gratitude: "Lufeng, thank you for helping me solve this problem. Although I can't offer you a generous reward, this Hidden Weapon—Locust Stone is quite rare. I would like to gift it to you as a token of my appreciation!"
"Thank you!" Lufeng was even more grateful.
"Ding!"
System Notification: Your friendship with Duan Yanqing has increased by 1.
After completing the quest, each person's backpack also contained an item resembling a small dagger; it was the Locust Stone Hidden Weapon. Lufeng casually looked at the attributes of the Hidden Weapon:

Seeing the Five-Star Equipment for the first time, and it's a growth-type, Murong Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, while Lufeng and others merely glanced at it, feeling it was just an ordinary Hidden Weapon, without any particular impression. However, at present, it was the best piece of equipment available.
An idea struck, and Lufeng equipped the Hidden Weapon, waiting for its cultivation level to rise.
Seeing Lufeng equip the Hidden Weapon, Duan Yanqing couldn't help but remind him, "The Hidden Weapon can only gain Experience after you equip it and kill monsters. However, like everyone else, the Hidden Weapon has its growth bottlenecks. To break through these bottlenecks, you need to go to Luoyang and find the Master of Hidden Weapons, Yan Qing, to assist you! Once your Hidden Weapon reaches level 40, you can seek him out."
"Understood!" Lufeng nodded and accepted this task—[Cultivation of the Hidden Weapon: Initial Breakthrough].
Task Objective: Own a Hidden Weapon with a cultivation level of 40 or higher, then go to Luoyang to seek out the Master of Hidden Weapons, Yan Qing. Reward: 4 gold coins.
Upon seeing the task prompt, Murong Xiaoxiao gasped in surprise and said, "What a high reward!"
Lufeng smiled lightly, "It's nothing; it's not even enough to cover the handling fees! When breaking through the Hidden Weapon's level, you'll often end up getting scammed."
"Oh~" Murong Xiaoxiao was greatly disappointed, her enthusiasm plummeting to rock bottom.
