"We're talking about the servant market." Lin Xin reminded him.
"Oh, yes, the servant market is a place where enemy disciples captured by sect disciples during their missions, or various war slaves brought as tribute from the mortal world, etc., are used as commodities. These servant slaves can be bought to make furnaces.
You can also buy them as dolls, but most people buy them as servants to serve themselves. But only wealthy people in the Qi refining stage or innate will patronize them."
"It's interesting." Lin Xin raised his eyebrows.
The two chatted while waiting for the people invited to move things and clean up.
"Let's play a game?" Dongyue didn't know when she took out two Go baskets with black and white pieces, and said to Lin Xin with a smile.
Lin Xin didn't say anything, and simply sat down with him on the stone table and bench in the yard and started playing chess.
The rules for black and white pieces here are a little different, plus he is a bad chess player, so he lost miserably in the first game.
I looked at the cleaners and saw that they were not done yet. The two started the second set again.
By the time the thorough cleaning was completed, it was already sunset in the afternoon.
Dongyue put away her things and stood up to leave. Before leaving, she said something that left Lin Xin a little confused.
"Brother, you really don't know who I am?"
Lin Xin had already seen from Uncle Ji Lu's reaction that this Dong Yue was probably famous in the sect, but he did not go into details. The casualty rate among the disciples in the sect was too high, and the situation was precarious. Many people were either practicing hard or living in a dream and enjoying themselves in time.
Or he has a twisted and weird temperament.
This is true for all righteous sects, not to mention those evil and heretical sects.
The friendship with Kunshiro also made his reputation spread, at least he became famous among the disciples in the outer area.
Dongyue was well-informed and would come to Lin Xin to play chess every few days. By the way, he would also bring a lot of outside news.
Lin Xin was also happy to have a well-informed channel.
Half a month later, he could also see that Dongyue was a person who liked to join in the fun. Whenever there was something fun and interesting, he would definitely go see and hang out. He was also good at getting closer, so he was not generally well-informed.
It's just that he seems to have too much free time, and I almost never see him practicing.
Lin Xin himself felt the benefits of the high-end stone house. This new stone house had the effect of relieving meridian pain and accelerating recovery. It was much better than his previous stone house.
Now he can refine his inner energy twice a day, which is twice as fast as practicing in low-level stone houses and outside!
It's time to go on a mission.
Lin Xin also contacted Kong Yuhui and planned to take over a mission in his area, just as if he was familiar with the environment and towns around the sect.
However, Dongyue gave him a suggestion. He could take on several tasks at once, and the locations were closer. After completing them once, he could come back to rest and practice more. This is what those innate masters did.
******************
Task wall
Lin Xin's appearance with four swords on his back was very eye-catching, and many people around him glanced at him from time to time.
Dongyue followed him with her hands behind her back, looking like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
Early in the morning, before it was completely bright, the two of them rushed directly to the task wall and stood in front of it to wait for the new task wall.
"Brother, aren't you tired of carrying four swords on your back?" Dongyue whispered, leaning behind Lin Xin and saying, "Although it looks cool, is it too arrogant to occupy the position like this..."
After he finished speaking, he looked around and saw that the four swords spread out on Lin Xin's back pushed the two positions on both sides aside, and the two of them directly occupied a gap of four people in the somewhat crowded crowd.
Lin Xin, however, was too lazy to pay attention to him and stood by the mountain wall, leaning against the stone wall to rest his mind.
"roll!"
Suddenly there was a loud roar from outside the crowd.
A big man over two meters tall, wearing brown and black leather armor, with black pigtails all over his head, arrogantly pushed past the people in front of him. He carried a thigh-thick white sword on his back, and had a pair of eyes.
He glanced left and right like a bell.
Several disciples who didn't have time to make way were thrown out of the crowd one by one by him.
"One of the five masters of Listening Sword Valley, Manjian Kekha'er." Dongyue introduced Lin Xin in a low voice. "The ninth level of Xiantian-level Xiao Guiyuan Jue..."
This was the first time that Lin Xin saw a heavyweight in Tingjian Valley. At a glance, he felt that the barbarian sword Ke Kehaer had a sense of domineeringness all over his body. He walked with amazing strength.
, the body seems to be very heavy, the thighs are as thick as an average person's waist. The two arms are like two stone pillars.
Man Jian found a place and casually pushed away the disciples around him, then sat cross-legged on the ground, not wanting to be dirty.
The disciples who were affected and came to take over the mission were angry and dared not speak out.
Time passed slowly, and soon, the person tasked with updating the stone wall arrived and began to quickly replace the content on the stone wall.
Lin Xin pushed aside the people in front of him and leaned forward to take a closer look at the updated content.
He quickly grabbed two missions to deliver messages and find people, both of which were near the sect, and the rest were snatched up by the others.
Squeezing out along with the crowd, Lin Xin took Dongyue back towards the way they came. On the forest road, many registered disciples came to see the mission one after another.
Among them were many third-level masters whose aura was not weaker than Lin Xin's. He counted them briefly and found that there were more than ten third-level masters he had seen in this short period of time. Two of them even had their faces broken. Just now
The gauze that had just been bandaged was bleeding. The other one was missing an arm and looked pale.
This made his heart tremble slightly, and the slight sense of relief that had just arisen in his heart was quickly suppressed.
"Lin Xin?" When he was about to walk out of the forest road and return to Shiwu Town, a group of people suddenly came towards him.
A somewhat familiar voice came from the team.
Looking around, it turned out to be Wang Chong and Xiao Lingling. They and several other disciples were following behind two men wearing black goggles. They seemed to be followers of the two men.
"Wang Chong? Xiao Lingling?" Lin Xin's face softened and he nodded towards the two of them.
However, his image at this time is indeed a bit arrogant. The four swords behind him are very eye-catching like fans, and they are also strangely covered with layers of black cloth.
Not only the ordinary disciples in the opposite team, but also the two leading men with breast shields couldn't help but glance at him.
"Are they your friends? Remember to follow behind." One of the guards whispered. Without saying hello to Lin Xin, he led the others towards the mission wall.
Wang Chong and Xiao Lingling stayed behind.
"I haven't seen you for several months. Where have you gone?" Xiao Lingling walked closer and asked softly. "I even asked my brothers and sisters in our gang to help find someone, but to no avail."
"Lin Xin, why haven't you returned to the stone house yet? I originally planned to drag you into our gang, and we all look after each other, but you ran off to take over the mission without saying a word, and you just came back now." Wang Chong complained a little.
"By the way, Brother Lin, you... haven't joined a gang yet, have you?"
The three of them were casual acquaintances, and Lin Xin was still wondering why they suddenly became so close to each other. After hearing Wang Chong's last words, he finally understood.
It turned out that the two of them wanted to recruit him into a gang.
Wang Chong glanced at Xiao Lingling warily.
"I can introduce Brother Lin to our Lingzhu Gang..."
"Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink. Let's chat while we eat." Xiao Lingling took the initiative to come over and grab Lin Xin's hand. After not seeing each other for several months, she began to wear some makeup on her face. She seemed to be learning how to dress up. She was dressed in black.
The short dress and skirt only have a black leather tube top on the chest, which deliberately highlights the plump breasts and exposes the waist. The hem of the skirt has also become shorter, barely covering the crotch.
It's completely different from what it looked like when I first arrived.
Snapped.
At this time, Xiao Lingling's hand was opened halfway by Wang Chong.
"I was the one who spoke first, right? Xiao Lingling, what do you mean by that?" Wang Chong has always been a man of little wealth and has a somewhat aggressive personality, and his face immediately darkened.
Lin Xin was a little confused, but Dongyue explained quietly behind him.
"Inviting new people to join the gang will increase the benefits. They are here to earn rewards for bringing you into the gang... This happens every month."
"By the way, what gang did you join?" Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Lin Xin quickly changed the subject.
"Lingzhu Gang." Xiao Lingling smiled softly, and her charming eyes became even more attractive. Her inner aura is of the investigative nature. When completing tasks together within the gang, she always needs protection, and her own actual combat strength
She had no choice but to rely on others. After almost dying on several missions, she had to start using her own natural capital to gain more protection from outsiders.
When she saw Lin Xin, she had some thoughts in her mind. With her keen sense, she had noticed that the inner energy in Lin Xin's body had risen to a higher level. But although she was shocked, she remained calm on the surface.
Don't hide it, after all, recruiting an ordinary newcomer on the first level to join the gang is far less helpful than recruiting a small elite who has entered the second level so quickly.
She didn't want Wang Chong to argue more fiercely with her after knowing this.
"Wait a minute." She rolled her eyes, pulled Wang Chong to the side and whispered a few words.
Wang Chong's expression immediately softened, but he was still a little reluctant.
When the two came over, Wang Chong handed over his hands and said goodbye to Lin Xin, and left without saying much. It was obvious that the two had reached an agreement.
Only then did Xiao Lingling move closer to Lin Xin.
"Who is this?"
"My name is Dongyue." Dongyue replied with a smile.
Xiao Lingling glanced at his crooked attire, sensed carefully, and discovered that this guy was just an ordinary disciple of the first level. She didn't care much. Her focus was on establishing a good relationship with Lin Xin.
"Have you joined a gang?"
"I've already entered it." Dongyue replied casually with a smile.
After hearing this, Xiao Lingling stopped paying attention to him.
The three of them walked towards the town while chatting about recent developments.
It turned out that Xiao Lingling and her two people organized a team to do a mission. It was a mission to hunt down a murderer. At first, they thought they were just two second-floor murderers. There were five of them together, and the team was led by two second-floor murderers. Plus them
With three auxiliaries, there should be no problem, but as a result, the five of them were almost wiped out by the opponent.
After surviving by chance, the two also realized the cruelty of the task. The one who survives is not necessarily the strongest, but the one who knows how to hide himself best.
