Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Except for the booming business of Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop, other aspects are as peaceful as before. What Yuan Ming was worried about did not happen, and no one from the Zhenling Sect came here. Residence No. 86
In the secret room, Yuan Ming sat cross-legged, with a faint green light all over his body. With the income from the Lingxiang Shop, he also had an almost endless supply of cultivation pills. At first, he only took the Four Spirit Pills, and then simply took them.
With the addition of a liquid-liquid pill that is more effective and worth close to four hundred spiritual stones per bottle. It is said that this is the best cultivation pill suitable for the early stage of foundation building. It is equivalent to the treatment given to direct disciples by sects like Changchun Temple.
.At the same time, with the assistance of Zi Xuan Lingxiang, his cultivation has improved rapidly, and now he has reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building.
Yuan Ming opened his eyes, and there was a faint light in his eyes, and he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. After he calmed down, he took out a white pill and drank it, and the blue light on his body quickly became brighter. This white pill
The name of the medicine is Condensation Pill, which has the effect of helping to break through the bottleneck of cultivation in the foundation building stage. Yuan Ming closed his eyes again, breathed in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and used the Nine Yuan Jue to refine the Condensation Pill, trying to break through the bottleneck in the early stage of foundation building. Not long after
, powerful mana fluctuations suddenly burst out from his body, spreading outward like a tide. The secret room was surrounded by a silver light curtain formed by the silver token, and all mana fluctuations were blocked. This situation is enough
After lasting for a quarter of an hour, the green light on Yuan Ming's body suddenly dimmed, and the turbulent mana fluctuations returned to calm. The training in the foundation building period was indeed much more difficult than the Qi refining period. He opened his eyes helplessly and murmured to himself. This
This was his third attempt to break through the bottleneck in more than a month. Yuan Ming did not continue to retreat, looked at the time, got up and left Lingxiang Shop, drove the magic weapon out of the city, and returned to Leizhou City. He
I found a teahouse and sat down. Along the way, a soul crow was secretly released to monitor the surroundings.
Soon, a short figure in gray robe walked into the teahouse, glanced at the guests in the building casually, and then found a seat by the window to sit down and asked for a pot of tea. He went to the man in gray robe and asked tentatively.
He said: Grandma, I haven’t seen you for a long time. It’s still the same as when I was a child. The man in gray robe looked up and saw Yuan Ming. He was immediately overjoyed and showed some kindness, and said: Your child is already so old and looks exactly like your mother.
. She lifted her hood, revealing the appearance of a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a slight wrinkle between her eyebrows, and curly hair that was black and white, but her eyes looked bright and energetic.
, looked at Yuan Ming's appearance carefully. But soon, she pretended to be angry again: She didn't come to see me when she came to Leizhou, which made me worried for a long time. Isn't this because she was worried about causing trouble for grandma? Yuan Ming replied. Grandma
What are you afraid of? You are already old.
When I heard that you were coming to Leizhou, I immediately left the customs. I waited and waited. Even if I couldn't wait for you, I was anxious to death. Besides, if Changchun Temple retaliates against you, they will be shameless. Grandma said, I still have to be careful.
"It's hard to guard against hidden arrows," Yuan Ming said. In the past few years, he felt that his life in Xiaohu City was relatively stable. In addition, the soul crows he sent to patrol the city from time to time did not find anything unusual, so he often sent several letters to his parents to report that they were safe.
, As for the specific location, it has not been disclosed. Not long ago, I contacted my grandma, so she asked him to meet at Leizhou City Teahouse at this time, saying that he had something to ask. Alas, Ming'er, you are really young and mature. If your cousin is half as distracted as you are,
Even if I die, I will feel at ease. I didn’t want to trouble you at first, but after a few days, your cousin Xu Tian will go out for training. As a result, a murderer who specializes in hunting Qi Refining monks has appeared near Leizhou recently. There are already many people.
I was really worried about being killed, but the headmaster happened to arrange for me to leave the clan to do some work and I couldn't shirk it. After thinking about it, I can only leave it to you. Grandma sighed, full of apologies.
Before Yuan Ming could speak, he heard his grandma say again: "Grandma also knows your difficulties. If you can't help, can you recommend a reliable friend on your behalf? Your vision is trustworthy. Grandma is worrying too much. I am like this."
I happened to be free for a while, but I couldn't get close, so I could escort him secretly. Yuan Ming thought for a moment and agreed. You don't have to worry about this. For the annual training tasks, the sect will issue collection tasks in the casual cultivators, as long as they meet the conditions.
All casual cultivators can participate. Ming'er, you can participate under a pseudonym. Grandma said happily. Then Yuan Ming asked grandma about some details of the mission, and declined the elixirs, spirit stones and other items that grandma brought to him.
She got a new robe, but instead gave her a lot of cultivation elixirs and spiritual incense as filial piety. After all, before she set foot on the path to immortality, grandma loved her mother very much and took great care of her family, even if she had offended her before.
When Changchun Guan fled, he was still willing to take him in.
It's just that he didn't go to seek refuge.
While her grandma was happy, she also told Yuan Ming to be careful at all times. Yuan Ming then said goodbye to her and returned to Xiaohu City. A few days later, the mission hall of the monastery was extremely lively, with monks wearing various costumes.
They were in groups, and the conversation was a little noisy. Behind the counter, the waiter in charge was so busy that he couldn't touch the ground. There seemed to be a lot more people than usual. Yuan Ming saw that the waiters were so busy, so he asked them for a piece of paper with a to-do list printed on it.
The jade slips on the list were examined carefully. There were hundreds of tasks on the list, with different types, and the conditions and rewards for accepting them were also very different. Simple tasks such as escorting monks and escorting goods, although
The reward is not high, but the advantage is that the risk is low, and it does not take long. It only has certain requirements for the credibility and cultivation of the recipient. In contrast to adventure tasks, there is almost no threshold for acceptance, and the rewards are quite high.
considerable.
However, there are two paragraphs of notes at the end of these tasks. One paragraph is used to explain the possible dangers and make the recipients think twice before taking them. The other paragraph records the number of monks who took the tasks but did not return within the specified time limit.
For example, a mission to explore a secret place in the Kingdom of Zhao, the reward is a thousand spirit stones, but the dangers that may be encountered are unknown, and the number of monks who have not recovered is already thirteen. It is precisely because of the exploration mission.
The difficulty is high and the completion rate is low, so in the past task lists, the number of such tasks accounted for a large proportion. Simple tasks such as escorts were picked up almost immediately after they appeared, and few of them were on the list.
He stayed for a long time. However, Yuan Ming discovered that there were surprisingly many escort tasks on today's task list, and most of the escorts were monks in the Qi Refining Stage.
He thought of what his grandma said about the murderer who hunted the Qi Refining monks, so he called a guy and asked insinuatingly. There was indeed a disturbance recently, but it shouldn't be a big deal to the seniors. It's just that there was a murderous man in Leizhou.
He is an unknown monk who specializes in picking out lone Qi-refining monks. So far, more than a dozen monks have been killed. The clerk replied. Yuan Ming pretended to be surprised: This happened? Can anyone find out his details? This person disappeared.
The method is quite superb. Xiaohu City has organized manpower investigations many times, but all failed. Now, the affected sect has stepped forward to take the lead and offered a reward for information on this person. Seniors, if you are interested, you can also participate in the investigation. If you can
Furthermore, if we capture this person, we will also offer him a heavy reward. The waiter said very respectfully. Yuan Ming nodded noncommittally. Seeing that he was not very interested, the waiter resigned and left him alone to continue.
View the to-do list.
But not long after the waiter left, two monks suddenly walked up to Yuan Ming and bowed their hands towards him. I hope you will forgive me for interrupting. The one who spoke was a strong man eight feet tall with a full beard.
, he looked like a rough man, but he spoke extremely politely. The other monk was wearing a long green cloth gown, holding a fly whisk, his eyes were narrowed into slits, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, looking kind. You two are looking for me.
Any advice? Yuan Ming looked at the other person and asked. When he was talking to the waiter, he noticed that someone was secretly observing him. When he saw the two of them coming over, his words were inevitably a bit rude. Judging from the breath of the other person,
They seemed to be two foundation-building monks whose cultivation was similar to his own.
Haha, advice doesn't count. It's just that the two of us saw that my Taoist friend was very generous, so we thought he must have some magical powers. We also happened to have a task that lacked manpower. I wonder if you would be interested? The bearded man boasted. Sorry, I'm alone.
I'm used to walking alone and don't want to go with others for the time being. Yuan Ming refused without hesitation and turned around to leave. Hey, fellow Taoist, don't be anxious. It's not too late to listen to what I have to say before making a decision. Yuan Ming said with a smile.
He stopped and looked back, with a trace of alienation on his face, but the bearded man didn't care at all, and continued, "Fellow Taoist must have heard from the people in the casual cultivator just now that as long as the murderer who attacked the Qi Refining cultivator is caught, he will
There will be a heavy reward, to be honest, this fellow Daoist Liao next to me has a unique method that can lock the location of the murderer. Originally, the two of us were enough, but I just thought that the murderer is quite cunning, in order to prevent him
After escaping, I invited my Taoist friends to go with me and capture the animal. Of course, the rewards I received afterwards would also be shared with my Taoist friends. I wonder what your intentions are?
Yuan Ming frowned, a little disbelieving: The murderer only singled out a single Qi Refining monk to attack, which shows that his strength is limited. You two are both building foundations, and you are afraid that he will escape? This statement is wrong, not to mention the previous organization of the casual cultivators.
The team that captured this beast also included members of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but they were also unable to find any trace of him. Speaking of another matter, fellow Taoists would probably not think that the man's strength was limited. The bearded man looked around and saw that
Secretly lowered his voice. Just two years ago, an elder of the Zhenling Sect was killed in the wilderness near Xiaohu City. The Zhenling Sect was furious and made great efforts to find the murderer. Later, they also posted a high reward mission.
But to this day, the reward is still on the list, and there is no news about the murderer. Luo Xihu said. Yuan Ming was slightly shocked, but he still nodded calmly and asked: Oh, I can't tell you about this.
I have heard about it, but what does this have to do with the murderer who intercepted and killed the Qi Refining monk.
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Except for the booming business of Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop, other aspects are as peaceful as ever. What Yuan Ming was worried about did not happen, and no one from the Zhenling Sect came here. The person from residence No. 86
