"You have only been in the sect for half a month? What is a newcomer doing with this task? Are you rushing to feed the fire rock snake? Our team does not want to drag oil bottles, and we are not responsible for collecting corpses for others!" The dark-skinned man had a look on his face.
Shen said bluntly.
"Junior Brother Yuan, what Agula and the others said is not unreasonable. The danger of collecting fire jade is not small. If the fire rock snake attacks us, we may not be able to take care of you. You'd better practice peacefully for a while and improve your strength before taking on the task.
." The beautiful young woman persuaded, with a hint of disapproval in her eyes.
"Thank you, senior sister, and this senior brother for reminding me. Although I am not talented, I still have the ability to protect myself and will not cause you any trouble." Yuan Ming nodded slightly towards the beautiful young woman and the dark-skinned man, and said with a smile.
As for Agula, he seemed not to have seen it.
The beautiful young woman raised her eyebrows, and the dark-skinned man snorted, but didn't say anything else.
At this moment, the neglected Agula's face turned the color of pig's liver next to him, and Yuezhong walked out: "It's not a small talk. If you want to join our team, let me see your strength!"
"Since Senior Brother Agula wants to give you some advice, please take action." Yuan Ming said unhurriedly.
"Okay, take an arrow from me first!" Agula pointed out.
A bunch of crystal water appeared out of thin air, quickly bent and deformed, and instantly turned into a two-foot-long strange water bow, and a shiny water arrow automatically sprouted from the bowstring.
With a sharp roar, the water arrow shot out of the air and headed straight for Yuan Ming's chest. The speed was far faster than ordinary bows and arrows.
Agula secretly played tricks and secretly cast spells before speaking. As soon as he finished speaking, the water arrow had already been shot out.
"Water Archery?"
Yuan Ming did not panic, and pushed out the void with his right hand, and a rich green light emerged from his palm.
A thick wooden thorn emerged from it, and it blocked the water arrow as it arrived first.
Yuan Ming has been practicing the Ming Yue Jue these days, and the power of his soul has not increased much, but his reaction speed has accelerated a lot.
There was a loud "bang" sound, the water arrow shattered, and most of the wooden thorns were shattered.
"What!" Agula's expression froze.
He was the first to secretly cast a spell, and with the swiftness of the water arrow technique, he was actually stopped by the wood stab technique!
"Is it okay?" Yuan Ming said lightly, a green light surged in his palm, and the broken wood thorns immediately returned to their original appearance.
Agula's face was ugly, and he made quick gestures with both hands. Light flashed above the water bow, and five water arrows appeared in a flash.
Whoosh!
Five water arrows were shot out from the string at the same time, heading towards Yuan Ming to strangle him.
"Five arrows in a row! When did Agula reach this level of water archery?" the beautiful young woman exclaimed.
The dark-skinned man and the young man with triangular eyes also looked a little surprised when they saw this.
It is not difficult to practice water archery, but it is not easy to use five arrows at the same time. This requires deep enough mana and strong mana control.
When Yuan Ming saw this scene, his face became a little solemn, but he still calmly cast the spell and pointed out the secret.
The ground in front of him flashed with green light, and three thick wooden thorns emerged, each with a diameter of about a foot, and stood side by side in front of him, immediately covering his figure.
Yuan Ming did not have enough magic power and could only summon three wooden thorns at the same time.
The water arrow hit the wooden thorn and easily penetrated five large holes, but Yuan Ming behind him was nowhere to be seen.
Agula was shocked and confused. At this moment, a sharp gust of wind came from the side, and Yuan Ming's figure appeared out of thin air. He already had a herring sword in his hand and chopped off his head.
The sword turned into a cold light and struck down like lightning and thunder.
Agula's expression changed greatly, and he crushed something with his right hand. A layer of green air appeared on his body, and he evaded to the side very quickly.
However, there was a sudden pain in his foot, and a small wooden thorn came out without any warning and pierced the sole of his foot.
For today's mission, Agula wore a pair of specially made boots. They were tanned with the leather of a crocodile beast. They were extremely tough. The wood stabbing technique did not pierce the soles, but it also made him sway and dodge.
The movement paused for a moment.
The cold light of the herring sword swept down, already wrapped around one of his arms, and was about to cut it off.
At this moment, a ray of silver light shot from the side, faster than everyone's eyes, and hit the herring sword with a "dang" sound.
Yuan Ming's wrist went numb, and the herring sword flew out of his hand, and he was also shaken back two steps.
The silver light also revealed its true form, but it was a silver bracelet, exactly the one on the wrist of the beautiful young woman.
Whoosh!
An elegant figure flashed past, and a beautiful young woman appeared between the two of them.
"Haha, the Five Elements spells performed by the two of you are eye-opening. I have to perform a task later, so why not stop the competition here?" The beautiful young woman said with a smile. There was no strangeness in her eyes when she looked at Yuan Ming. Apparently,
recognized his strength.
"Of course, Senior Brother Agula and I were just competing." Yuan Ming chuckled, picked up the herring sword on the ground next to him, and put it away.
Agula didn't say a word, and his face looked a little livid.
"Junior Brother Yuan Ming has extraordinary strength. You two have no objections to joining the mission team, right?" The beautiful young woman looked at the dark-skinned man and the man with triangular eyes.
"Junior Brother Yuan has a good cultivation level, and Mu is certainly welcome." The dark-skinned man grinned, changing his previous arrogance.
The man with triangular eyes said nothing and nodded.
"In that case, let's get ready to go." The beautiful young woman nodded and said.
"Can you guys wait for me for a moment? There is something left at my residence. I will go get it right now and I will be back soon." Yuan Ming said suddenly.
"It doesn't matter, I just happened to go to the Furnace Hall to buy some things, and Mu Li and the others are also going to rent cranes for their journey, so let's disperse first and gather near the mountain gate in a quarter of an hour." The beautiful young woman was startled and said.
"Rent a crane? Are we going to take the crane to Tarifan Volcano?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Of course, Tali Volcano is a hundred miles away from the sect. How long will it take to travel on two legs?" said the beautiful young woman.
Yuan Ming looked troubled. He had just started, his whole body was clean, and his contribution value was only half, so he couldn't afford to rent a spirit beast.
"Junior brother Yuan, don't worry, you can ride with me later." The beautiful young woman saw Yuan Ming's embarrassment and said.
"Thank you, senior sister." Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her.
"It's just a small matter." The beautiful young woman shook her head.
Yuan Ming nodded to the others and left quickly, heading towards Huolian Hall.
He jogged all the way and soon returned to his residence and took out a gray bundle from under the bed.
Here are two furry animal skins of White Ape and Black Toad. It was his first time to perform a sect mission and there was no room for error. He brought two furry animal skins with him just in case.
Although he is no longer a furry beast slave, except for the herring sword and wood stabbing technique, he currently does not have any good means of attack and self-protection. The increase in combat power brought about by transforming into a white ape may not be used at critical moments.
Small effect.
Yuan Ming stuffed the bundle into his arms, returned the same way, and walked quickly towards the mountain gate.
…
The main hall of the Furnace Hall.
The layout here is similar to that of the Execution Hall. In the front is a long stone table, with four or five Furnace Hall disciples sitting inside. Behind it are rows of stone counters, gray in color and about 10 feet tall, filled with
Various jade vases, porcelain jars, etc.
A medicinal fragrance fills the entire hall, and as long as you walk here, you will feel very energetic.
"I want a bottle of Shuizedan." The beautiful young woman walked up to a short and fat young man and said.
"Ten points of contribution." The short, fat young man glanced at the young woman and said.
The beautiful young woman obviously knew the price of the elixir, so she took out her identity tag and handed it over.
The short and fat young man took out a white jade talisman and tapped it on the young woman's identity plate. A white light flowed out of the nameplate and disappeared into the white jade talisman.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to get the medicine." The short, fat young man said, turned and walked towards the counter at the back.
"Junior sister Lan Ke, I haven't seen you for a while." A woman in a red dress came over, but it was Chen Wan.
"Senior Sister Chen Wan, are you here to buy elixirs too?" The beautiful young woman saw Chen Wan and greeted her in surprise.
The young woman was obviously older, but she behaved respectfully in front of Chen Wan, as if she was the younger one.
"Can't I come here just to see you?" Chen Wan said with a smile, holding the beautiful young woman's hand.
"Senior sister is promoted to an inner disciple and has to deal with many things every day. Junior sister does not dare to have such extravagant hopes." The beautiful young woman pursed her lips and smiled.
"I came to the Furnace Hall to do some things on my master's orders," Chen Wan said with a smile.
"Do you need help? I'm fairly familiar with some of the deacons at the Furnace Hall." The beautiful young woman turned her eyes and said immediately.
She is a disciple of the Beast Taming Hall. She has no identity background, but she is very ambitious and has been working hard to get better. She is usually smooth in dealing with people and has made many connections in the sect. If she can pass this matter, she will be able to get away with it in front of the Third Cave Master.
A familiar face will be of great benefit to future development.
"No need, it's just a small matter. I heard that Junior Sister Lan Ke was buying water pills. Are you going to do the task of collecting fire jade?" Chen Wan shook her head and asked in a different direction.
The beautiful young woman was disappointed, but she didn't show it on her face. She touched the silver bracelet and said, "Yes, I plan to add another rune to the silver snake chain in the near future. The contribution value is not enough, so I need to raise some."
.”
Speaking of this, the figure of Yuan Ming suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Speaking of which, Senior Sister Chen Wan, did your Huolian Hall have a young disciple from the Central Plains named Yuan Ming?" asked the beautiful young woman.
"Yuan Ming? There is such a person, have you heard of him?" Chen Wanyi nodded in confusion.
"I gathered a team to do the task of collecting fire jade, and Yuan Ming was among them. This man was quite strong. He fought against Agula for several rounds and actually gained the upper hand." The beautiful young woman said.
"Really?" A trace of surprise flashed across Chen Wan's face.
Agula is a senior disciple of the Fire Refining Hall. He is not very talented in weapon refining, but his cultivation is not weak. He has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. He did not expect to lose to Yuan Ming, who had just joined the sect.
She remembered that during the trial mission that day, Yuan Ming was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he was just a furry beast slave. It had only been a few months, but how much improvement had he made in his cultivation?
"Could it be that this person is extremely talented, which is why the master personally led him to get started?" Chen Wan thought to herself.
