Jiang Fufeng's Favor

Liang Yi smiled helplessly. From the information he had obtained in his previous life, his master was indeed unique. It was no wonder that City Lord Jiang had said this.

"May I know why the two of you have come to my place?" Although Jiang Fufeng had been yearning for that banished immortal who had descended from the sky for a long time, he remembered that he had never communicated with the True Path Sect.

"To tell you the truth, when I was walking in Xunyang City, I heard about your noble wife's situation from the common people," Liang Yi said frankly. Everyone in Xunyang City indeed knew about the matter of City Lord Jiang's wife. Jiang Fufeng had even declared that as long as someone could bring the Heavenly Vine Heart, he would owe them an enormous favor.

"Could it be that you have a clue about the Heavenly Vine Heart?!" Jiang Fufeng's eyes widened, and his voice suddenly rose by an octave. The surrounding air trembled slightly because of the change in his mental state.

When the square-faced middle-aged man who was learning about the situation from Yuan Hua heard this, he raised his head in surprise and looked at Liang Yi. Su Youyi was still confused. She did not know what had happened to the City Lord's wife.

"Yes, I wonder if City Lord Jiang needs my help?" Liang Yi needed Jiang Fufeng to say it himself in order to activate the mission.

"Please help me!" Jiang Fufeng, as a peak Sixth Realm cultivator, actually bowed to Liang Yi, a First Realm cultivator. From this, it could be seen how important his wife was in his heart.

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering the mission [Iron Blood Tenderness: City Lord Jiang's Plea]!]

[Mission Tip: Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty's Emperor Zhou's sworn brother, General of the Western Region, Xunyang City's City Lord Jiang Fufeng's wife, Yuan Xihuan, accidentally ate the juice of the Firmament Divine Vine and entered a coma due to the Spirit Devourer Sect's scheme. Under Jiang Fufeng's heavy protection, the Spirit Devourer Sect failed to seize the soul and retreated instead.]

[Mission Requirement: Find the Heaven's Vault Vine Heart and save Yuan Xi Huan!]

[Mission Completion: 0%]

[Mission Reward: 100,000 Experience Points. A huge affinity increase from Jiang Fufeng and Yuan Shushan.]

'Accept!'

He was shocked! Why was the Spirit Devouring Sect everywhere? It was actually the one behind this. Could this be the big matter that Yin Lu was talking about? 

Liang Yi looked at the mission panel. The experience points given by the system were given according to the level of the character. The 100,000 experience points in the early stages were considered abundant. The experience points were secondary. The most important thing was Jiang Fufeng's favor. Liang Yi knew that after his wife was lost and found, Jiang Fufeng had another opportunity when he brought his wife to relax. He broke through the Heaven Gate and was promoted to the seventh realm, the current cultivator.

Moreover, the difficulty of this mission was completely focused on finding the Heavenly Vine Heart. As long as he found the Heavenly Vine Heart, the mission reward would be completely out of reach. However, if he could not find any clues, there was nothing he could do.

"Yuan Shushan? The head of the Yuan Family in Central Province?" Liang Yi looked at the similarly excited middle-aged man with some surprise. He had originally thought that Jiang Fufeng would be the only one to owe him a favor, but he did not expect that Jiang Fufeng would buy one and get one free. They were both surnamed Yuan, so what did it matter?

Without thinking any further, Liang Yi took out the wooden block from his storage ring and handed it to Jiang Fufeng.

"This thing is the core of the Heavenly Vine Heart. If it's not immediately preserved after birth, it will form by itself. All you need to do is smear the juice of the Heavenly Vine Heart on it," Liang Yi explained.

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! No wonder we couldn't find one no matter how hard we tried. I thought that we would only have a glimmer of hope if we went to His Majesty. I didn't expect that my junior brother would actually be a lucky star from the heavens!" Jiang Fufeng was so happy that even the way he addressed Liang Yi had changed. He did not suspect that Liang Yi had casually found a wooden block to make fun of him. Without the sect's reputation as a guarantor, once Liang Yi really made fun of him, the anger of a sixth realm peak expert would not be a joke.

"Thank you, Young Hero Liang, for saving my sister. Moreover, my children have also been rescued by Young Hero Liang. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, the Yuan Family of Central Province will definitely help you!" Yuan Shushan rushed over with his children and bowed to Liang Yi excitedly.

Yuan Shushan's face was too dignified. His smile scared Su Youyi so much that she hid behind her senior brother.

"May I know who this is?" Although Liang Yi already knew the identity of the person in front of him, he still had to pretend not to know.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the head of the Yuan Family in Central Province, Yuan Shushan!" The burly Yuan Shushan, who had a fierce expression on his face, had probably not smiled much. Now that he smiled, it made Liangyi feel awkward.

"So it's Senior Yuan. I've been rude. When the Immortal Dynasty's sect competition begins, Junior Sister and I will definitely visit!" Liang Yi pulled out Su Youyi, who was pretending not to exist behind him, and bowed to Yuan Shushan.

"Hahahaha, I can't blame you for saying that you don't look like a banished immortal. You just know how to talk!" The heavy burden in Yuan Shushan's heart was lifted. Now, he was filled with joy. The more he looked at Liang Yi and Su Youyi, the more pleasing they were to the eye.

Liang Yi looked at Jiang Fufeng, who was anxiously looking for someone to get the juice of the Heavenly Vine Heart, and followed Yuan Shushan to sit down and chat with him.

"Is Senior Yuan on good terms with Senior Jiang?"

"Jiang Fufeng's wife is my younger sister. I'm his brother-in-law!" Yuan Shushan explained with a smile.

"I see. Is this the reason why Senior Brother came here in secret?"

"That's right. The Western Region has been quite chaotic recently. A force called the Spirit Devouring Sect has been stirring up trouble. A few days ago, they even wanted to attack my younger sister. That's why I came here. Otherwise, I would still be searching for the Heavenly Vine Heart in the Central Province!" Yuan Shushan coldly snorted. It was obvious that he had some hatred for the Spirit Devouring Sect.

"Then does Senior Jiang know anything about the Spirit Devouring Sect?" Liang Yi was rather concerned about this. It concerned the progress of his two missions.

"That group of forces is very well-hidden, and Jiang brat was delayed by my sister's matter, so he couldn't spare any time to investigate. He only knew that they had been laying low all this time, and had gradually become active over the years." Yuan Shushan saw that Liang Yi was interested in this matter, so he told him the information they knew.

[Ding! Mission completion rate +2%.]

Hearing the notification, Liang Yi was quite satisfied. This was also an unexpected gain. Then, he briefly explained the situation he and the others had encountered in Qingyang City. Hearing this, Yuan Shushan was extremely furious. Could it be that they had the same intention when they attacked his sister?

"I thought it was a small force, but I didn't expect it to be so nasty. I have to report it to His Majesty when I return!" Yuan Shushan realized how terrifying this sect was.

"Thank you, Senior Yuan. If there's any new information about this sect, please send a message to me." Liang Yi said.

"It's just a small matter!"

"She's recovered!!" A cry of surprise came from the back room.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission [Iron Blood Tenderness: City Lord Jiang's Plea]!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the mission reward: 100,000 experience points. The favorability from Jiang Fufeng and Yuan Shushan has increased greatly.]

Liang Yi received the system notification. Yuan Shushan was overjoyed and hurriedly brought Liang Yi and the others over.

When they stepped into the room, they found Jiang Fufeng sitting by the bed, holding a gentle-looking woman in a light yellow dress in his arms. From the looks of it, she should be Jiang Fufeng's wife, Yuan Xihuan.
