After resting for a while, Lin Xin picked up the detailed explanation of the array and continued reading. The flame of the oil lamp was slightly swayed by the cold wind outside the stone house.
Wow.....
I don't know when it will start to rain outside.
Lin Xin opened the window and looked at the two stone houses on his left, where Wang Chong and Xiao Lingling lived. There was light coming from the cracks in Wang Chong's house, but Xiao Lingling's stone house was a little dim, and there seemed to be no light.
Light the lamp.
Novice Lin pressed his hands on the window sill. The cold touch of the stone spread along his fingers to his forearm and then to his whole body, making him shiver immediately.
Big raindrops occasionally floated over and hit the stone platform outside the window, splashing on the back of his hands.
"It's so cold..." He shrank and felt the temperature drop suddenly.
Recalling what Uncle Ji Lu said earlier, it would rain here at night, and staying outside would hinder your practice.
"The temperature outside is probably only three or four degrees..." Lin Xin made an estimate, sat down in front of the desk he just bought, and continued reading "Detailed Explanation of the Array" with the smell of the shiny red paint on the desk.
"We must find a way to solve the food problem tomorrow." Lin Xin has already discovered that something is wrong here. The food distributed here is not the rice purchased, but something like chocolate beans, which has a much higher energy concentration than rice.
Other foods.
Because internal energy is actually extracted from food, Lin Xin has a relatively accurate grasp of this aspect.
In the past, he had to eat four or five meals a day, plus some snacks and jerky from time to time, to support the practice of inner qi. Now he just ate one meal of that kind of food and felt no longer hungry. And the extracted
The amount of internal energy is even greater than before.
After reading for a while, Lin Xin put out the oil lamp, washed his face and feet with the river water brought in today, and then got into bed and covered himself with a quilt.
The soft white quilt was very warm. He stuffed the gap around his neck tightly and wrapped his whole body in the quilt.
Looking at the ceiling of the stone house, there was only a rough gray patch there.
This way of sleeping was exactly the same as in his previous life, which made him suddenly have the illusion of returning to the earth, as if he was sleeping wrapped in a quilt in his bedroom.
Tsk! Bang!!
Suddenly there was a sound of sharp weapons clashing outside the window.
"Zhou Yaxuan!! You bitch!!" A man yelled angrily, seemingly mixed with a woman's sneer.
"You are stupid, who can blame you..."
The voices of the two people quickly passed by the nearby stone houses, rushed into the distant mountains and forests, and were soon covered in the sound of rain.
Lin Xin listened to the sounds outside, and all the illusions he had just felt were gone.
"I'm no longer on earth..." he sighed in his heart. He tightened the quilt, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Boom, boom, boom.
Lin Xin woke up vaguely and heard someone knocking on the stone door.
"Lin Xin! Aren't you up yet?" Wang Chong's voice came in from outside.
When he opened his eyes, dazzling sunlight came through the cracks in the stone window, and the light just hit the detailed explanation of the array device spread out on the table.
After taking a few breaths, Lin Xin responded.
"Here we come, wait a moment."
"Hurry up, we have to pick up the mission early!" Wang Chong shouted outside.
Lin Xin quickly got up, put on his clothes, and then opened the door. Wang Chong and Xiao Lingling were standing outside, fully dressed.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" He frowned.
"It's not urgent. Xiao Ling has asked. Every morning when the sun rises here, it is the time when tasks are distributed. If you arrive late, you will only have to pick out the rest. Our strength is low and most of our rations have been robbed. We must
Hurry up. Otherwise, your practice will be delayed."
Wang Chong explained hurriedly.
Lin Xin also understood.
"I'll be fine soon." He quickly washed his face and splashed his mouth with salt water before leaving the stone house with the two of them and walking towards the outskirts of the town.
We walked through a small peach forest and climbed a slope up the mountain. Along the way, we could see registered disciples going up and down the mountain. Some had gloomy faces, while others had relaxed expressions. They were in groups of three or three, and only a few were seen walking alone.
Xia.
As they went up the mountain, there were more and more people on it. The three of them soon reached the top. Hundreds of people gathered together in a dense crowd, squeezing into a large motley group of people wearing different clothes. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the front.
That huge white stone wall.
The stone wall is exceptionally white and smooth, and someone has written a lot of words on it with charcoal, line by line. The words are so densely packed that it makes your eyes dizzy.
Lin Xin looked from a distance, more than thirty meters away, and actually saw clearly the small words the size of a fingernail written on it.
‘Investigation mission: A missing person case occurred within the Jinyu Sect. The time limit is half a year, and the threat level is three.’
'Hunting mission: Xuanye Cave Spirit Zhongzi has defected and entered the territory of our sect. He can be hunted down with an azimuth array. The time limit is one month. Threat level four.'
‘Investigation mission: Investigate the Mist Town in Outland to obtain Centennial Manzhi. Specific information can be provided. The time limit is three months, and the threat level is six.’
Lin Xin took a cursory glance at the tasks above, all of which had threat levels of three to nine.
"The threat level represents the level of our inner energy. The number represents three, which is the third level of Guiyuan Jue. In other words, the enemies that may appear in this mission are estimated to be at the third level. Of course, the information is unknown.
The situation may change, so it is best to be at a higher threat level than this before accepting the mission." Xiao Lingling seemed to have found out more clearly now.
"For the three of us who are new here, it's best to team up to take on the mission. The success rate will be higher." She suggested. "Besides, our level is too low, so it's best to look at what's below."
Lin Xin nodded, looked down, and saw rows of low-level tasks densely written on the stone wall.
He noticed that there was a small pavilion next to the stone wall, and there were a few young people sitting inside. Whenever someone wanted to take on a task, they would go in and register, and then they would come out and erase and write on the stone wall.
"How about this!" Wang Chong suddenly pointed to the right corner of the stone wall where hundreds of messages were densely packed.
Lin Xin looked along.
‘Collection mission: Collection of Corpse Refining Water, multi-person mission, unlimited number of people. Collect one hundred bottles of Corpse Refining Water from Yinfeng Mountain, difficulty level 1, limited to three months.’
"The reward corresponds to the difficulty level. The higher the difficulty, the higher the reward."
Xiao Lingling explained.
Lin Xin remained silent. It could be seen that this kind of task was not dangerous, but the unlimited number of people meant that the reward was low.
In contrast, he prefers to study thoroughly how to use his abilities before taking on tasks.
It can be seen that Xiao Lingling and the others should be interested in this task. That's right. It is also good to find some simple tasks in the early stage to accumulate experience.
"You two come together, I want to see it alone."
Xiao Lingling glanced at Lin Xin, a little confused, but didn't say anything.
"Okay, let's work separately then." If she hadn't been together for the sake of the three of them, with her sensing ability, she could have joined a better group. Unexpectedly, Lin Xin was still unwilling to accept her companionship.
bona fide.
Wang Chong also didn't understand, but he was quickly pulled towards the stone wall by Xiao Lingling. Xiao Lingling became familiar with the two men around him, and they became familiar with each other after a few smiles. She gave full play to her.
Advantages of beauty.
Lin Xin stood alone outside the crowd. He didn't say anything, but took one last look at the task wall, turned around and walked down the mountain.
His plan is not to accept the mission first, but to use his ability to see if he can make the formation flag and sell it to get the price difference. After earning enough jade money, he can purchase equipment and supplies so that he can complete the monthly mission more safely.
Returning to the stone house alone, he didn't waste any time and immediately started to find out the detailed explanation of the formation. He turned to the section on the Little Yanyang Formation and started to process the materials.
Tree roots, stone powder, scorpions, and other materials were prepared one by one, and it took until noon to finish them all.
Also, because I was a newbie for the first time, I messed up and wasted a lot of materials.
After eating his last meal of dark chocolate beans, Lin Xin sat cross-legged on the bed and began to regulate his breath and internal energy. More than an hour later, he got off the bed and began to formally make the Little Yanyang Formation Flag.
A total of more than ten kinds of materials were taken out separately, and all were beaten into powder and crushed. Then, an earthen pot was filled with water, the powdered residue was put in, and the mixture was boiled.
I simmered it on the stove for more than an hour until the water inside boiled into a viscous liquid like a paste.
Lin Xin then took out the white cloth he bought first, cut it into pieces and threw them in.
The white cloth was quickly dyed black and Lin Xin took it out.
The strange thing is that these black cloths dried quickly shortly after they were taken out, and there was no feeling of moisture on them.
The entire stone house now smelled of a strong medicinal smell.
Lin Xin opened the window to let the smell of the medicine out. After extinguishing the fire, he took a piece of black cloth that had been prepared, and then put out the chicken blood ink he bought, bit his finger and dropped a drop into the ink.
Add the blood and stir evenly.
"It's time to start..."
He stood in front of his desk and took a deep breath.
He took out his writing brush, dipped it in ink, and slowly wrote the talisman of the Small Yanyang Formation on the black cloth.
This is a very simple r-shaped symbol, but there are three more dots on the head of the r, which looks weird.
Lin Xin concentrated and held his breath. According to what was said in the book, the inner Qi controlled his hand to make it tremble and pause every three breaths, and the handwriting that came out after the trembling pause was actually a symbol, the thickness and uniformity of the handwriting.
, to be exactly the same every time.
This is a very difficult matter, which is also the key reason why the formation is difficult to make. It requires extreme precision.
With Lin Xin's inner strength under control, his arm steadily wrote the first stroke.
laugh!
Suddenly, the black cloth under Lin Xin suddenly ignited spontaneously. Lin Xin was so frightened that he quickly ran away. Soon he saw that the entire black cloth burned directly into a ball of black ash, which remained on the desk. Strangely, the wooden desk did not burn at all.
Burn marks.
"It failed...it must be that the strokes were not even enough."
He was not discouraged and continued to take out the next piece of black cloth and began to write. He dyed thirty pieces of black cloth with one pot of black paste and spent one piece of materials.
The Small Yanyang Formation requires five symbols to be successfully drawn to form the formation flag, so Lin Xin still has plenty of materials.
Continue with the second block.
In the first stroke, Lin Xin tried his best to control his stability without any problems. In the second stroke, the temperature on the black cloth began to rise significantly.
Lin Xin was holding the brush. He was still more than ten centimeters away from the black cloth and could feel waves of heat rushing into his hand.
