It turns out that Senior Brother Zhang’s name is Zhang Bao, and he was the Senior Brother who entered the profession two years earlier than Ni Kun.
Because of his handsome appearance, superb acrobatics, and good at pleasing women, his progress in practicing the Qingmu Changchun Jue was also quite good. Two years ago, he was adopted as a special cauldron by Qi Lingyun, a Foundation Establishment level demon girl from the inner sect upper courtyard.
When he was first taken in by Qi Lingyun, Zhang Bao was quite favored. Qi Lingyun showed great pity to him. Not only was he relatively gentle in harvesting, but he also rewarded him with some spiritual rice and spiritual pills from time to time, which helped him to practice, so that Zhang Bao was quickly promoted to the eighth level of Qi refining.
.
But most of the fairies are ruthless and unloving.
As soon as the novelty wore off, Qi Lingyun's interest gradually turned to his new favorites. Zhang Bao began to fall out of favor. In the past three months, he was not even summoned by Qi Lingyun once.
Zhang Baoyou was greatly frightened——
Although his cultivation level is not bad, he does not have talents such as alchemy and weapon refining.
Once he completely falls out of favor and loses his status as a special furnace, he is likely to become a public furnace and be exploited by many witches in turn.
After the oil is exhausted and the lamp dries up, he or she will be sent to refining corpses, refining weapons, cultivating gu, and refining elixirs.
In order to save himself, Zhang Bao decided to improve his cultivation as much as possible, and even attack the foundation building.
If the foundation can be successfully established before it becomes a public furnace, then it is very likely to win back Qi Lingyun's favor.
Even if Qi Lingyun has completely lost interest in him, he can still seek refuge with a female disciple from the lower courtyard of the inner sect.
It seems that the disciples of the lower courtyard of the inner sect who only cultivated in the Qi Refining Realm would not refuse to accept a special cauldron of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, since Zhang Bao has fallen out of favor, he will no longer receive the training resources rewarded by Qi Lingyun.
He has been harvested by Qi Lingyun and his roots have been damaged. Without additional resources, his cultivation will not advance quickly.
Therefore, if you want to get out of the predicament before completely falling down the level, you have to find a way to find some extra money.
Zhang Bao thought for a while and decided to focus on those special furnaces whose cultivation levels were not high and whose backgrounds were only disciples of the inner sect's lower courtyard, trying to scrape the oil and water from them for his own cultivation.
After having an idea, Zhang Bao recruited two helpers among the familiar male disciples from the outer courtyard who were in worse situations than him and had a strong desire to change the status quo, and began to identify targets.
Ni Kun is already the third target of Zhang Bao's trio.
The first two targets are also male disciples from the outer courtyard who are favored by two lower courtyard disciples from the inner sect and may have something to offer.
In the first two times, after careful planning by Zhang Bao and the others, they succeeded easily and reaped some benefits.
Having tasted the sweetness, Zhang Bao and the others continued their efforts and set their sights on Ni Kun, who had recently been favored by Zhao Xiulin. Unexpectedly, they hit the iron wall.
After listening to this man's confession, Ni Kun shook his head and sighed:
"You are all poor people struggling to survive. Why should Lu Ding embarrass Lu Ding?"
He crushed the man's throat with his foot and sent him on his way. He then took out a paper crane and whispered a few words:
"Come to my place quickly and bring the poisonous fire skull. There are corpses to be disposed of."
After saying a few words, the paper crane flapped its wings and turned into a stream of light, flying towards the Green Bamboo Garden.
…
After sending a message to Zhao Xiulin and waiting for her to come over, Ni Kun conveniently searched the bodies of Zhang Bao and the others.
There's nothing good to say about the other two.
I don’t know whether it was because I was extremely poor, or because I went out to rob and didn’t bring any belongings. In short, my pockets were clean and there was nothing.
But for Zhang Bao, Ni Kun not only found a white jade waist tag from him, but also found a palm-sized old storage bag from a different brand.
Using Qingdi's spiritual power to easily remove the remaining spiritual imprint, Ni Kun opened the storage bag and saw that in the storage space that was less than a foot long, there were pitifully placed three jade pills and two small bags of inflammation.
Crystal rice, as well as three low-level spells and four spirit stones.
"A monk at the eighth level of Qi Refining actually only has so little wealth. The casual cultivators in the mountains and fields at the same level are not so poor, right? The Xianyin Sect's furnaces are really miserable. No wonder they are so crazy that they rob other furnaces..."
Ni Kun shook his head and sighed, casually hanging the small broken storage bag on his belt.
He is now Zhao Xiulin's special cauldron.
Although he is not qualified to keep the large-space high-quality storage bags and Inner Disciple standard storage bags, he can still hang up a small and broken storage bag like this from other brands.
After waiting for less than half a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yaonv flew over like the wind. When she saw the three corpses in different forms of death in front of the house, she was immediately startled. Immediately, her pretty face turned cold, her starry eyes were full of evil, and she was grinding her teeth.
Jiaochi:
"Where did these three wild dogs come from? How dare they disturb the Lord! I will crush them to ashes now to calm the Lord down!"
After saying that, he took out a miniature skull the size of a baby's fist from the storage ring, held it in his palm, and injected it with spiritual power.
The miniature skull expanded and expanded, and in an instant it transformed into a normal-sized skull with a mouth full of fangs and phosphorus fire burning in its eye sockets. It was the top-grade magic weapon "Poison Fire Skull".
Demon Girl Zhao stretched out her hand again, and the poisonous fire skull let out a strange roar, flew to Zhang Bao's body, opened its mouth and sucked in, and swallowed up Zhang Bao's remaining essence and soul that had not completely dissipated.
After that, the skull spewed out a ball of green poisonous fire, which fell on Zhang Bao's body, which had become skinny and bones, like a corpse. With a bang, a ball of green poisonous fire burst out. In just a few breaths, it was destroyed.
Burned to ashes, no bones remain.
Zhao Yaonv followed the same method and disposed of the other two corpses. Even the blood stains on the ground were burned cleanly by the poisonous fire skulls. She then cast a spell to summon a gust of wind and scattered the ashes into the moongrass bushes. Then she knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy.
road:
"My slave came late to save you. Please punish me, Lord."
Ni Kun put his hands behind his back, expressionless, and said calmly:
"None of your business."
He gave a general account of the origins of Zhang Bao and the others, and then threw the white jade waist badge to Zhao Yaonv, "This is the pass that Zhang Bao carries with him. He belongs to Qi Lingyun, the foundation-building monk of the inner sect upper courtyard. That Qi Lingyun
Senior sister, do you recognize me?"
Zhao Yaonv took the belt card, injected her spiritual power into it to investigate, nodded and said:
"It is indeed the pass certificate issued by Senior Sister Qi. I have naturally heard of Senior Sister Qi's name. She started the school five years earlier than me. Thirteen years ago, she joined the Xianyin Sect. She successfully established the foundation three years ago.
, was promoted to a disciple of the Inner Sect Upper Court.
"Senior Sister Qi also has a job in Lingzhi Garden and is responsible for inspecting the warehouse. However, she does not live in Lingxiu Peak. She practices in the Cave Mansion of Shangyuan on weekdays. She only comes to Lingxiu Peak once a year to inspect the storage conditions of the warehouse.
"I think it was precisely because Senior Sister Qi took a temporary post in the Lingzhi Garden that Zhang Bao and the other three could rely on her credentials to identify targets for robbery and murder in the Lingxiu Garden. Otherwise, even if the management of Lingxiu Peak was lax, if the disciples from the outer courtyard wandered around for no reason,
It has already been taken down."
Ni Kun nodded slowly and asked again:
"Will the death of Zhang Bao and the other three bring about future troubles?"
Zhao Yaonv smiled and said:
"Didn't the Lord say that Zhang Bao has not been summoned by Senior Sister Qi for three months in a row? From what I can see, Senior Sister Qi may have forgotten about him long ago. The other two are also precarious people.
, such a waste, no one will care about it even if it dies."
When Ni Kun heard this, he couldn't help but be silent for a while.
The fate of the furnaces and cauldrons in the outer courtyard is so sad.
Once it loses its use value or no longer pleases its owner, it becomes like a wild dog on the roadside. No one cares about it even if it dies.
If Ni Kun hadn't awakened his past life memories, turned on the plug-in, and met Senior Sister Ling by chance, his fate would not be any different from other furnaces.
It may even be even more miserable - his body of copper skin and iron bones is a good material for the "White Bone Yaksha" sacrifice.
Seeing Ni Kun's silence, Zhao Xiulin thought he was worried about hidden dangers, so she immediately said:
"Lord, don't worry. If Senior Sister Qi really thinks of Zhang Bao and sends someone to search for him, I will say that I killed Zhang Bao because he collided with me and I fed him the Poison Fire Skull. Then Senior Sister Ruo Qi will
If you take the blame, I will have my slaves to shoulder the responsibility."
Ni Kun glanced at Zhao Xiulin with a strange look, and saw that she was loyal and devoted to protect her master, and his mood was quite subtle for a moment - if the demon girl is lucky enough to solve the "Boundless Sea of Suffering" curse in the future, she will think about what she has done now.
You won’t be so angry that your heart and lungs will burst and blood will spurt out three feet away.
Zhao Xiulin didn't know what he was thinking, but she still frowned, worried about her lord's safety:
"Today's events also serve as a reminder to this slave. Although there are not many disciples in the outer courtyard who are as bold as Zhang Bao, the presence of Zhang Bao and three others shows that such people are by no means non-existent.
"Now that General Manager Han is away from Lingxiu Peak all year round, there is no one to supervise the Lingzhi Garden array, and the people in the management courtyard are overstaffed and slack... I'm afraid it won't be safe if I continue to live here, so why not move to Qingzhu Garden?"
It's also good for my slaves to serve me day and night.
"As for the errands of Jiazi Garden No. 7, I'll just find someone else to take care of the errands."
As she spoke, she looked eagerly at Ni Kun, her face filled with eager anticipation.
Ni Kun put his hand on his chin, paced back and forth, and considered it seriously.
