Although the disciples of Wutang mainly practice martial arts and swordsmanship, unlike the Foreign Affairs Hall, which has prescribed tasks that must be completed, but if they want to obtain more and better resources, taking on family tasks is the first choice for newcomers.
Qin Yun did not go up to say hello to Qin Haishan. The little friendship between the two disappeared long before the other party moved out of the hut.
Together with other disciples from the Foreign Affairs Hall, he came to the second floor of the Yaori Building.
There are much fewer people on the second floor, because this is the mission release point within the Foreign Affairs Hall, and people in other halls cannot receive missions here.
"Take your identity plates and receive your respective tasks..." A tall and thin deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall said: "This is your first task. Everyone, do it well and do it with your heart. If you feel that you have difficulties, you can
Let’s work together as a team to complete it.”
Among the stewards under the deacon, each person received their own limited tasks.
Of course, Qin Yun also received one. He opened the roll tied with a silk rope and took a look and found that it was a collection task - collect five bileaf plants from Manglong Mountain that are more than three years old, and the basic reward is a bottle of low-grade Peiqi.
Dan, there is no limit!
The tasks of the Foreign Affairs Hall cover gathering, excavation, hunting, guarding and even spying and assassination. The gathering type is undoubtedly the relatively simple and easy one, and is also suitable for newcomers.
The green leaf grass that Qin Yun needs to collect in his first mission is the main raw material for making Qi-Building Pills. Qi-Building Pills can nourish the inner Qi and strengthen the Dantian. After taking the Qi-Building Pills and practicing the Qi Heart Method, it has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, Qi-Building Pills are very popular among ordinary disciples. A bottle of ten low-grade Qi-Building Pills can be sold for a high price of hundreds of taels of silver. Basically, the Qi-Building Pills that leak out from the Pill Hall are flocked to by newcomers.
They were sold out.
Qin Yun himself also had a bottle of Qi-Building Pills, which was sent to him by Qin Lihai, the leader of the Penal Hall, as compensation, but he had never taken one.
Because he firmly remembered his grandfather Qin Yang's warning that the improvement in strength obtained by taking elixirs was like a fortress piled on the beach. Although it was built quickly, it had an unstable foundation and could easily collapse.
Underneath the scroll, there are also drawings of blue leaf grass and related instructions.
Blue leaf grass only grows in the rock gaps between the mountains of Manglong Mountain. Its leaves are as green as gemstones. It is considered a relatively precious medicinal material, and it is not easy to dig.
From the chatter coming from the side, it can be heard that many people have the same tasks as Qin Yun. Obviously, there is a shortage of this medicinal material in the elixir hall, so they have given so many similar tasks.
"The duration of this mission is seven days. After seven days, whether it is completed or not, you need to come back and hand it over. If it is not completed, the family ration for the next month will be deducted."
The tall and lanky deacon warned: "The more green leaves collected, the higher the reward. However, you must also pay attention to safety. Manglong Mountain is not an ordinary place. Don't go deep into it easily."
However, his warning did not seem to have much effect on the arrogant young people. The disciples who received the same mission were chatting and laughing, preparing to go to Manglong Mountain for a big fight. Many of them formed a team on the spot.
.
Naturally, Qin Yun was still alone. After receiving the small hoe and medicine box for collecting and storing medicinal herbs, he left the second floor.
As soon as I walked out of the building, a timid voice suddenly came from beside me: "Brother Qin Yun..."
Huh? Qin Yun couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of the sound.
I saw a girl in a white dress standing at the corner. She held the corner of her skirt with one hand and had an uneasy look on her face.
"Qin Mingzhu..." Qin Yun was a little surprised, walked over and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
Qin Mingzhu is Qin Haishan's cousin. After that incident, Qin Haishan not only immediately drew a clear line with Qin Yun, but also refused to allow Qin Mingzhu to associate with him.
After that day, the two of them never met once.
"Brother Qin Yun, is the task you took today at the Foreign Affairs Hall to collect green leaves?" Qin Mingzhu asked in a low voice.
She looked at Qin Yun, her big and beautiful eyes full of expectation.
"Yes!" Qin Yun nodded.
"Then, then..." She bit her lip and asked softly: "Then if you collect a lot of bileaf grass, can you sell a few to me?"
"You need green leaves?"
If Qin Yun's ears were not sharp enough, it would be really difficult to hear Qin Mingzhu's words. It was obvious that the other party was very shy about making this request to him.
"Yes."
Qin Yun's kindness gave Qin Mingzhu some courage.
It turns out that Qin Mingzhu joined the elixir hall. She has a certain talent in martial arts and sword practice, but she lacks the understanding required to refine elixirs.
Even though she worked very hard, she could only barely refine a low-grade healing elixir in a month, and the success rate was still quite low.
According to the requirements of the Pill Hall, if she cannot refine a low-grade Qi-Building Pill within the new month, she will not even be able to keep her qualifications as a disciple of the Pill Hall, and will have to go to the clan to become a maid.
Or just pack up and go home.
The Alchemy Hall has many talented children, and the family's limited resources cannot be wasted on a person without talent, so Qin Mingzhu has been under great pressure recently.
However, if you want to refine the elixir, in addition to talent and hard work, you also need the support of a large amount of materials. The more you refine, the more practice makes perfect.
It's just that every disciple has the same share of the materials used to make medicine. If you want to practice more, you have to find ways to find the materials on your own.
Qin Mingzhu has no one to rely on here except her cousin Qin Haishan, and Qin Haishan can't give her much help.
Nowadays, the supply of Qi-Building Pills exceeds the demand, and even the green leaf grass used for refining medicine is extremely difficult to buy. Qin Mingzhu had no choice but to ask Qin Yun for help.
She knew that the Pill Hall had asked the main hall to collect green leaves, so she came here specifically to wait.
After listening to Qin Mingyue's words, Qin Yun couldn't help but frown.
He did not expect that Qin Haishan, who looked bold and generous, could be so cold and cold, not even taking care of his cousin.
It is a task that can be done by the newcomers of the Foreign Affairs Hall. As a disciple of the Wu Hall, Qin Haishan will definitely not have a problem collecting a few green leaves.
Fortunately, such a person does not treat him as a friend!
It was probably Qin Yun's expression that caused Qin Mingzhu to misunderstand him, thinking that he didn't want to help. She whispered with red eyes: "Sorry to bother you, brother, I'm going back first."
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses. He quickly grabbed Qin Mingzhu who was about to leave.
"Since you call me brother, I will do my best to help you. If I collect a lot of green leaves, I will give them all to you!"
"Really?" Qin Mingzhu was overjoyed and couldn't help but grab Qin Yun's hand: "That's great!"
Her little hands are white and delicate, as soft as boneless. Even a young man like Qin Yun who doesn't know how to be charming can't help but feel a little strange in his heart when he is held by such a pair of small hands. The flowers bloom, and the beauty in that moment is incomparable.
However, Qin Mingzhu immediately realized that her actions were inappropriate, and quickly let go of her hand and said shyly: "Thank you, brother Qin Yun, I won't take your medicinal materials in vain, I still have some money, and if I can practice the Qi-Building Pill, I will give it all to you."
You, oh, I can’t give it all to you, half of it will go to the elixir hall..."
The next few words she said were confusing, and Qin Yun couldn't help but laugh: "We'll talk about this later, as long as you don't worry about getting into trouble talking to me."
Qin Yun was isolated among the newcomers because Qin Wenbing was unhappy with him. Later, although Qin Lihai punished Qin Wenbing and gave Qin Yun some compensation, the inside story was not known to everyone.
Qin Yun is very arrogant at heart, and he doesn't bother to explain and spread it to others.
"I'm not afraid!" Qin Mingzhu shook her head and whispered: "Brother Haishan...I..."
It can be seen that she has objections to Qin Haishan's actions, but after all, he is her only relative here and he takes care of her, so it is not easy to say bad things in front of Qin Yun.
"I understand." Qin Yun smiled and said, "You go back and wait for my news. There are too many people here."
Qin Mingzhu also noticed that many people around her were looking at the two of them, and she nodded obediently.
After the two separated, Qin Yun left the main hall and did not return to the manor. Instead, he went to Xiaogushan a few miles away.
The small forest in a corner of Xiaogushan is located in a remote area where few people usually come, and the tall trees block the outside view, so it has become a private place for Qin Yun to practice his sword during the day.
After opening up the meridians and acupuncture points in his hands and completing the first level of Qi Circulation Xiao Zhoutian, Qin Yun couldn't wait to practice the more advanced skills of the Fiery Sword Technique.
The Fiery Sword Technique has the same twelve sword moves as the Basic Sword Technique, but it is much more complex and sophisticated. In addition to the moves, the sword manual also includes Qigong techniques to match the sword moves.
Qin Yun has already mastered the twelve-style sword moves, but without clear meridians, the subtlety and power cannot be exerted.
Once the meridians in his hands are open, Qin Yun can fully unleash the power of four of the moves.
If he wanted to master all the twelve sword moves, he would also need to open dozens of acupuncture points on his feet and other parts of his body.
With the horizontal sword in front, Qin Yun urged the true energy of his Dantian to inject into the Qinggang Sword. Under the induction of the energy, his right leg naturally took a step forward.
The moment his boots barely stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground, Qin Yun suddenly swung out the Qinggang Sword in his hand, and the hot breath came out through the sword, turning into heavy heat waves and rushing in all directions.
The sword light stacked up and enveloped Qin Yun's whole body, turning into a long red light that swept forward in his breath.
puff!
The Qinggang Sword struck a big tree ten steps away, penetrating the trunk as thick as a bowl without any stagnation, and revealed half a foot from the other side.
The slightly trembling sword tip spit out an inch-long sword light that stretched and contracted indefinitely.
"open!"
Qin Yunchen shouted loudly, twisted his wrist and twisted the long sword, and the powerful energy contained in the sword suddenly exploded.
Bang!
The thick tree trunk split apart and exploded, and the upper half of the tree collapsed. Broken bark and wood chips were scattered in all directions, and some even burned in the air.
The first form of the Fiery Sword Technique - Flame Breaks the Iron Wall!
Qin Yun withdrew his long sword and felt the true energy circulating through his meridians, martial arteries and Dantian, and the fire spots on the leaves flying in the sky fell from the top of his head.
At this moment, the joy in his heart was indescribable!
