If this guy is still so ignorant of praise, then I don't mind obliterating him. He is just a first-grade alchemist, and he doesn't think much of him.
"Yes, yes, I am willing." The young man suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said.
"Well, okay, then you should rest for a few days and get familiar with the environment of the Wuyi Mercenary Group. I will arrange things for you in a while. If you need anything during this period, just go to some elders and tell me it's me.
That's all it means, get up!" Ling Yunfeng nodded.
"Yes!" The young alchemist stood up and stood respectfully in front of Ling Yunfeng.
"Uh, and also, I don't want other people to know about my identity as an alchemist. Do you understand what I mean?" Ling Yunfeng said with a hint of majesty in his eyes.
"I understand!" the young man responded hurriedly.
"Well, it's best to understand. I'll give you your third-grade elixir recipe in two days. I'll leave first if I have something else to do." Ling Yunfeng said lightly, and even when he walked out of the door, he told several guards before leaving.
The mercenaries said that the alchemist had surrendered and they no longer had to guard him.
Ling Yunfeng did not give the alchemist a poisonous elixir because he knew very well how attractive the elixir recipe and the improvement of alchemy skills were to an alchemist, so he was not too afraid that this guy would escape.
In fact, Ling Yunfeng didn't know that even if he wanted to drive the young man away now, the young man would still refuse to leave.
Hearing Ling Yunfeng's words, the mercenaries guarding him couldn't help but show admiration as they looked at the former's back. Unexpectedly, the group leader surrendered to a noble alchemist as soon as he entered.
You must know that some time ago, several elders came many times, and the alchemist kept yelling, and the elders were so angry that they walked away.
…
In the small courtyard, Ling Yunfeng was sitting on a stone bench. Standing in front of him were Zhou Lin, Wei Luo, Chen Yan, Cheng Liuye and the young man surnamed Meng who had had issues with Ling Yunfeng before.
"Do you know why I called you here?" Ling Yunfeng asked.
"I don't know." Several people shook their heads in confusion, and at the same time felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
"Captain, have we done something wrong? Please forgive me, Commander!" Suddenly the young man surnamed Meng knelt down and said with some horror. He might have thought that Ling Yunfeng was still looking for him to settle a score with him for what happened some time ago.
"Please forgive me, Captain." When the others saw this, they all trembled and knelt on the ground in horror, thinking that they had done something wrong.
"Uh!" Ling Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, get up, you have done nothing wrong."
"Really?" After hearing this, those few people stood up, but their faces were still a little nervous.
"I need some people around me to do things for me, but I can't find anyone I can trust." Ling Yunfeng lowered his head and said casually.
"Captain, we are absolutely loyal to you and we dare not have the slightest dissent!" After hearing Ling Yunfeng's words, everyone immediately knelt down and said.
"Captain, you saved my life. At that time, I said that my life will be yours from now on. No matter what you ask me to do, I will have no regrets." Chen Yan said.
"I know your hearts are loyal enough, but your strength is not enough!" Ling Yunfeng said helplessly.
"Captain, I will go back to practice right away and meet your requirements as soon as possible. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Captain, I will practice immediately when I go back. I will not rest or eat from now on, and I will improve my strength as soon as possible." Everyone said firmly. At this time, if everyone didn't know that Ling Yunfeng intended to train them, it was just because their qualifications were still high.
If it's not enough, then it's really a bit dull.
After finishing speaking, everyone stood up and prepared to go back to practice.
"Wait!" Ling Yunfeng called out to stop everyone.
After hearing this, everyone stopped and stood respectfully.
"Take these things back, they will be of great benefit to your cultivation!" Ling Yunfeng said as he threw several jade bottles into everyone's hands.
"Thank you very much, Captain!" Everyone thanked them excitedly, and at a casual glance they could see how extraordinary the things the Captain gave them were.
"Chen Yan, Cheng Liuye, when you two go back, take the white elixir first. That elixir will allow you to reach the level of a warrior within a month. When you reach the level of a warrior, you can then take the yellow elixir. You two will
Come to me if you can reach the third level of warrior cultivation in seven months. If you can't, just continue to stay in your original position." Ling Yunfeng said to the two of them, and then turned his eyes to Wei Luo and Zhou Lin: "Zhou
Lin, my request is that you all improve to the third level of cultivation in seven months."
Immediately, Ling Yunfeng looked at the young man named Meng and said: "As for Meng Zhichen, I have higher requirements for you. You must help me reach the eighth level of martial arts within seven months. Your talent is much better than your master.
I have high expectations for you, and I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
"Captain, don't worry, I won't let you down." Meng Zhichen said with excitement.
"Don't worry, captain, we will never let you down." Everyone said, and at the same time, they secretly felt cruel in their hearts. After returning, they must practice like death. The captain obviously did not mean that they were not strong enough, but
He's looking to see if their potential is worthy of his cultivation.
This is a rare opportunity for them. If they miss it, they may never get another chance in this life.
"Okay, you all go down and practice." Ling Yunfeng nodded.
"Yes!" everyone responded, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Looking at the backs of everyone, Ling Yunfeng smiled slightly. His purpose in doing this was to cultivate some trustworthy confidants for himself.
Now that I am in charge of a force, I have a lot to do, and I cannot do everything myself, so I must cultivate a few confidants that I can trust.
The few people just now are very loyal to him and are quite smart, so they are qualified for him to train them to become his confidants.
What Ling Yunfeng said before was just to hope that those few people would be motivated to make progress. Even if those people failed to meet his requirements by the time limit, Ling Yunfeng would still train them.
Because Ling Yunfeng knows what the talents of those people are like. It is naturally the best if they can achieve it, and there is nothing wrong with them if they cannot achieve it.
The talents of your confidants do not need to be too high. As long as they are loyal enough to you and have a desire to make progress, you can have a way to help them improve their cultivation to a level that satisfies you...
A few days later, deep in the Moyuan Mountains, there was a mountain peak several hundred meters tall, with green trees, birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, and it was full of life.
But one side of the mountain seemed to have been split open manually with a giant axe, forming a vertical cliff. A waterfall hung down like a piece of white silk and fell under the cliff, making a rumbling sound.
The roar of water stirred up mist all over the sky.
At this time, Ling Yunfeng and Xiaotian were lying powerlessly in front of the waterfall. They were somehow as tired as dead dogs, panting, sweating profusely, and their bodies were also dirty, covered with dead branches and spiders.
.
"Dad, do you think that treasure is fake? Damn it, I've been looking for it for so long but I haven't seen any sign of it," Xiaotian complained.
"Probably not. I think Xu Huang's killing of Su Wu seems to have a lot to do with this treasure." Ling Yunfeng said. At this time, he was holding the map that Su Wu gave him before he died.
According to what Su Wu said before his death, this map hides their family's treasure. Although Ling Yunfeng estimated that given Su Wu's condition, their family's treasure might not be much.
But Ling Yunfeng naturally wouldn't let it go, so he and Xiaotian found this place based on the map.
However, they searched here for nearly a day according to the instructions on the map and found no trace of the treasure.
"According to the map, the treasure should be in the cave on this cliff, but..." Ling Yunfeng frowned and murmured in a low voice as he looked at the cliff in front of him.
But before he finished speaking, Xiaotian immediately cursed angrily: "But you're just a piece of wool, there isn't even a bird's egg on this cliff, it's still a cave."
Hearing this, Ling Yunfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his eyes scanned the cliff with some reluctance.
After a while, Ling Yunfeng's eyes suddenly stopped and stayed firmly on the waterfall. Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he said to Xiaotian: "Xiaotian, do you think the treasure is behind this waterfall?"
"How is it possible behind the waterfall..." Xiaotian sneered, but before he finished speaking, he paused suddenly. He seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly: "It is really possible. Generally, there are things behind waterfalls.
Cave exists.”
"Well, that's what I mean too." Ling Yunfeng said, and immediately his eyes fell on Xiaotian with malicious intent.
"What are you doing?" Xiaotian immediately moved his body warily.
"Xiaotian, hehe, go and take a look for me!" Ling Yunfeng said with a flattering smile, just like those flattering villains.
"If you want to go, you won't go by yourself? I'm too tired to go," Xiaotian said with a pout.
"Xiaotian, you know that with your father's little strength, how can he get behind the waterfall?" Ling Yunfeng said, looking at the impact of the waterfall, I am afraid that he would be dizzy as soon as he entered.
"It's fine if you want me to go." Xiaotian hesitated and said, "But you have to make a hundred sugar pills for me as a reward!"
"One hundred sugar pills, no problem." Ling Yunfeng said cheerfully.
"Well, whoever becomes your son is really unlucky!" Xiaotian muttered complainingly, and immediately walked towards the pool of the waterfall.
Hearing this, Ling Yunfeng gave a helpless smile and followed with his tired body.
Xiaotian walked to the edge of the pool, immediately jumped up and fell into the pool, disappeared into the water and disappeared.
Ling Yunfeng stood by the pool, his eyes fixed on the water, feeling quite nervous inside.
About a quarter of an hour passed, and Xiaotian didn't come back. Ling Yunfeng suddenly became a little anxious. The impact of this waterfall was so strong, and there might be many unknown dangers in it. Could something happen to Xiaotian?
