Yuan Ming came to Huofang early. The work of refining and screening materials was not difficult for him. On the contrary, he was very good at identifying materials and sifting gravel, and quickly completed all the work at hand.
He did not waste time and rest, but picked up the casting hammer again and began the boring but challenging embryo refining activity. However, after a lot of hard work, the progress was not smooth.
In this regard, he was not too discouraged. After completing today's mission and having lunch in the dining hall, he rushed directly to the Beast Taming Hall.
Yuan Ming now knows that among the three peaks in the sect, the shortest one in the southeast belongs to the Furnace Refining Hall, which is considered the territory of the second cave master and is mainly responsible for the cultivation of the sect's elixirs and the refining of elixirs.
Needless to say, the mountain in the middle is where the Fire Refining Hall is in charge of the Third Cave Master, who is responsible for refining weapons for the sect.
The highest peak in the northeast is where the Beast Taming Hall is under the jurisdiction of the Great Cave Master. It is also the most powerful and highest-status hall in the sect.
Since he did not have his own spiritual beast, Yuan Ming had to rely on his legs to travel, and it was already an hour later when he arrived at the boundary of the Beast Taming Hall.
The situation of the Beast Taming Hall is completely different from that of the Fire Refining Hall.
Its buildings are widely distributed throughout the mountain, and there is a circular reception hall at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as Yuan Mingfang entered, he saw a tall, round-faced disciple with black tattoos walking towards him.
"Haha, this junior brother looks new to me. He just started, right?" The disciple said with a smile.
Yuan Ming was a little overwhelmed by the sudden enthusiasm and could only nod.
"Junior brother, you don't have to have any restrictions when you come to the Beast Taming Hall. We are here to serve all the brothers in the sect. The price is also very reasonable and can meet all your needs! I don't know if junior brother is here to rent or buy spiritual beasts.
Yeah? I can give you a good introduction." The round-faced disciple asked with a wider smile.
Yuan Ming was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that he was doing business, no wonder he was so diligent.
"Senior brother, I misunderstood. I accepted a mission at the Execution Hall to learn the basic knowledge of spirit animal breeding." Yuan Ming shook his head and said with a smile.
The round-faced disciple was stunned when he heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his tone became a bit lazy:
"Oh, that's it. If you accept the mission, do you have a signature from the Execution Hall?"
Yuan Ming had already prepared it, took it out of his arms and handed it over.
The round-faced disciple took it casually, looked at it, and frowned: "Why do you only have the seal of the Execution Hall and no signature of the elder?"
When Yuan Ming heard this, he frowned. He had repeatedly confirmed with the deacon of the execution hall that all he needed was a seal to sign the document. The other party was obviously putting on airs to make things difficult for him.
"Go back and make up your signature before coming back." The round-faced disciple threw the signature book back and turned around.
At this moment, a figure walked into the hall. The moment he saw Yuan Ming, he immediately walked towards him.
"Hey, isn't this...Junior Brother Yuan Ming?"
Yuan Ming heard the sound and looked over, and found that the person coming was the Beast Taming Hall disciple who was taking care of Huo Greedy'er whom he had seen yesterday.
"Senior Brother Legong, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here." Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows and bowed his hands.
"Junior Brother Yuan came here, it seems he has thought about it and plans to challenge himself, right?" Legon walked up to Yuan Ming, glanced at the autograph in his hand, understood immediately, and said with a smile.
"Ahem, Senior Brother Legon, it turns out you guys know each other..." the round-faced disciple said with a sneer.
Legon took one look at the change in his expression and knew that this guy was making things difficult for others again. He immediately waved his hand and said:
"I'm just taking Junior Brother Yuan Ming into the mountain. You don't need to worry about it here. Just go and do your business."
"Okay." The round-faced disciple immediately turned around and left without mentioning the signature.
"Junior Brother Yuan Ming, come with me." Legon said, then led Yuan Ming through the hall and out the back door.
After leaving the mountain gate lobby, Yuan Ming first came to a wide square and saw a huge circular building. The whole body was built with stone barriers, which looked very solid.
Seeing Yuan Ming's curious look, Legon took the initiative to explain: "This is the Colosseum. Sect disciples can bring their own spiritual beasts to compete. If they win, they can receive a large amount of contribution points as rewards."
"When will there be a competition? Can I watch it?" Yuan Ming suddenly became interested when he heard this.
"It usually happens once a month, and the number of events varies depending on the number of participants. Elders and disciples who are not participating in the competition can also watch, but they have to pay an admission fee of ten contribution points." Legon said.
"Sure enough, it's not free..." Yuan Ming thought to himself.
"Speaking of this, every competition is very lively! People watching can also place bets based on their own judgment. Once the bettor wins, they will be rewarded with contribution points based on the odds." Legon said excitedly.
said.
"Can this still happen?"
Yuan Ming said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was: "Isn't this just gambling? I didn't expect that people who cultivate immortality are no different from ordinary people in this regard."
While the two were talking, they bypassed the Colosseum, followed the mountain road behind, and started walking towards the top of the mountain.
There were dense trees along the way, and there were buildings of different sizes and specifications among them. The number was many times more than that of Huolian Hall, and there were faint sounds of roars of various beasts.
Arriving at an open square halfway up the mountain, Legon stopped and told Yuan Ming:
"The place where non-disciples of this hall come to learn how to control the beasts on official business is in the animal park in front. I will take you there to register with the elder deacon in a moment. After studying, return along the same path and don't run around. The rules of our animal control hall are
There are many, and the hierarchy is strict, especially the areas above the mountainside, which are the activities of the inner disciples and are generally not allowed to go."
"Thank you, senior brother, I will remember it." Yuan Ming nodded.
With that said, the two of them came to a courtyard that covered a large area and walked into the main hall at the front.
The deacon and elder who managed this place was a thin, middle-aged man with a mustache. When he saw Legon bringing a stranger over, he asked, "Legon is here. Is this person next to you?
Are you a disciple of Huoliantang?"
"Disciple has met Deacon Mo Lu. This time he came here to take over the task of breeding spiritual beasts and come to observe and study." Yuan Ming handed over the signature and said.
"Junior brother is so eager to learn, so of course he is welcome! Come, come and register, and hand in five contribution points." Deacon Mustached looked up at him, nodded and said.
Yuan Ming frowned when he heard this.
He received a clear reply from the deacon of the Execution Hall. There is no need to pay for attending to learn the knowledge of spirit animal breeding on official business. This is the bottom line for a sect that controls beasts and establishes a sect.
"What, is there any problem with Junior Brother Yuan?" Deacon Miao Hu couldn't help but frowned when he saw Yuan Mingchu standing there with no intention of moving.
Naturally, Yuan Ming had no contribution value and could not change for a while. When he was about to give up and leave, Legon took out his registered disciple badge and handed it to Deacon Moru:
"Deacon Moru, this junior brother is new here and doesn't understand the rules. Please deduct it from my contribution points."
"If he doesn't understand the rules, you should teach him a lesson. Fortunately, I'm easy to talk to, but I won't be so polite when I meet others." Deacon Moru's expression softened a bit.
He took the belt card, pressed it on his own belt, and a light flashed in his palm. He immediately handed the belt card back to Legon, turned around and walked towards the door at the back.
"Thank you, senior brother. I will definitely pay you back later." Yuan Ming thanked Legon sincerely.
"It's such a small thing, why bother! If it weren't for your help yesterday, there was something wrong with the Third Cave Master's fire ferret, and I would have been unable to eat it." Legon waved his hand and whispered.
Just as the two were about to cross the threshold, they suddenly heard a loud shout from behind: "Stop."
Yuan Ming frowned and said to himself: "Unlucky."
Legon didn't know why. He turned around and his expression changed slightly. He clasped his fists and said, "Brother Kuntu, what's the matter?"
Kuntu simply ignored his inquiry and only looked at Yuan Ming with a playful expression.
Yuan Ming turned sideways and met Kun Tu's eyes without any hesitation.
He originally thought that the sect was so big that it wouldn't be such a coincidence, but he didn't expect that he would actually meet this person. It could be said that we were enemies on a narrow road.
However, what surprised him was that Kuntu was followed by several people, most of whom had bad-tempered looks, but one of them was wearing clothes that did not have the Beast Taming Hall logo or a disciple badge, and it turned out to be Ulu.
Ulu just looked at him with a slight smile. There was no malice in his eyes and he had no intention of greeting him.
"I thought the Lord of the Third Cave took you back for some important purpose? Why, you came to the boundary of our Beast Taming Hall on errands?" Kun Tu looked at Yuan Ming with a provocative look and said.
"Senior brother Kuntu, he..." Before Legon could finish his words, he was glared at by Kuntu and suddenly fell silent.
Moru, who had already reached the door of the back hall, stopped at this time, turned around and looked over. When he saw that the person coming was Kun Tuzhi, the mustache at the corner of his mouth trembled, and he immediately smiled and trotted away.
After a few steps, he came to Kun Tu, cupped his hands and said:
"Senior Brother Kuntu, what kind of wind has brought you here?"
"Molu, when did the Beast Taming Hall become so casual? Can all cats and dogs come in? What if you lose some precious spiritual beast? If you, the deacon, are working too hard, I don't mind suggesting it to Master.
For a moment, you can concentrate on your cultivation." Kuntu glanced at Moru and said.
"Ah, what are you talking about, Senior Brother Kuntu! I just saw that this kid has a sly look on his face, and he doesn't look like a good guy. I was about to drive him away, so you came over. Hey, what about you, here is
You can come to any place you want? Get out of here!" After Mo Lu smiled apologetically at Kun Tu, he immediately scolded Yuan Ming with a straight face.
It was clear from the change in Yuan Ming's expression when he saw Kun Tu from Legong. Although Kun Tu was a new inner disciple, his status in the Beast Taming Hall was already very extraordinary. Today's study was destined to fail and he was forced to stay.
You won't get anything good from me, but you will be easily slandered by others.
He wanted to thank Legon, but he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to him, so he turned around and walked out of the palace without saying anything.
"Stop, did I tell you to leave?" Kun Tu shouted when he saw Yuan Ming ignoring him, his face became more and more gloomy.
The two losers following him immediately swayed and blocked Yuan Ming's path, one to the left and the other to the right.
