Chapter 10: Undercurrents
Qianwu Gate, the Hall of Deliberations.
Zhang Linghan sat in the first place.
Under him, there were three elders, Wang Lun, Mu Qing, and Lie Ming, as well as Lu Qian!
At this time, Elder Wang Lun, who had a childish face, was saying, "According to the report of the spies, there have been movements in the 'Ruins Secret Realm' from time to time in the past few days, and it seems that the day of opening is not far away.
And the Royal Beast Gate and the Ten Thousand Law Pavilion have hidden intentions to cooperate. ”
"Well~"
Hearing this, Zhang Linghan's eyes were slightly downcast, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Let that person continue to investigate, but everything is based on his own safety first, and don't expose it." ”
"Yes. ”
Then, Zhang Linghan's gaze fell on Mu Qing's face: "How is the refining of 'Ning Xingchen'?"
"With the increase in the reward for collecting 'Starlight Grass', there has been no delay in the past few days. ”
Elder Mu Qing replied in a cold tone.
"That's good, as long as the number of 'Condensing Stars' is enough, even if the Imperial Beast Gate and the Ten Thousand Law Pavilion join forces, we will have the strength to compete. ”
Zhang Linghan smiled and said to Lu Qian: "The smooth refining of 'Condensing Stars' is due to Elder Lu Qian's great contribution. After the 'Ruin Secret Realm' is over, I will hold a canonization ceremony for Elder Lu. ”
Hearing this, Lu Qian immediately stood up and arched his hand and said, "The subordinates can improve to the realm of the people, all of them depend on the strong support of the sect, and these things are all things that the subordinates should do." ”
Just a period of time after the 'Miyun Trial', Lu Qian also became a Shijing monk.
According to the rules of the Qianwu Sect, Lu Qian was naturally promoted to an elder, but he had not yet been officially canonized.
"Lieming. ”
"In. ”
"How's the preparation?"
"Everything is ready to go. ”
"That's good, it's hard work to maintain order. ”
"The duty lies. ”
After a few people discussed for a long time, several elders left one after another, except for Wang Lun.
"I heard that Wang Mingxuan left a few days ago?"
"Yes. Wang Lun said: "A few days ago, he received two tasks, and it took seven days to return to the sect. ”
"Oh, what's his mission?"
Hearing this, Zhang Linghan asked with some interest.
"Collect the 'Starlight Grass' and the Heart's Blood of the Elemental Devourer. ”
"'Starlight Grass'?"
"Exactly. It is thanks to this kid that he brought back a large amount of 'Starlight Grass' to ensure the refining progress of 'Condensing Stars'. ”
"How could such a coincidence?"
"This subordinate hasn't gotten any information yet, but~"
As he spoke, Elder Wang Lun paused.
"It's just you and me here, don't worry about anything?"
"According to that person's report, Wan Fa Ge seems to have been buying a large number of 'Starlight Grass' recently. ”
"Use the 'Condensing Stars' to offset the erosion of the secret realm of the ruins, this is the secret Xin summarized by the ancestors of the Qianwu Sect for several generations, and the Ten Thousand Law Pavilion knows everything, hehehe~"
Hearing this, Zhang Linghan showed a sneer on his face and said, "It seems that someone is restless~"
"Lu Qian is in charge of the acquisition of 'Starlight Grass'. A few days ago, a batch of goods was not delivered on time, could it?"
"I already have a countermeasure to this matter, and Elder Wang doesn't need to care. ”
"Okay, let's get here first today," Standing up, Zhang Linghan said: "This trip to the 'Ruins Secret Realm' is related to the great cause of my Qianwu Sect in the next hundred years, Elder Wang must not be distracted by some trivial matters." ”
"The subordinates understand. ”
After returning to Qianwumen, Wang Mingxuan did not go to Zhishitang to hand over the task, but went straight to Mu Qing's cave mansion.
He combined the rewards of the two tasks into one, and asked Mu Qing to refine a furnace of 'Wuji Dan' for him.
This pill has a staggering effect on healing the soul,
It is also one of the few Dan prescriptions that Wang Mingxuan can remember.
Before, he was worried that this pill was too profound, and Elder Mu Qing couldn't refine it.
However, fortunately, Elder Mu Qing's skills were not low, and he succeeded in one fell swoop.
After cultivating for a great week, Wang Mingxuan slowly opened his eyes,
"Although the efficacy of this medicine is slightly reduced compared to the real Wuji Pill, it is still somewhat useful. ”
Rubbing a pill in his hand, Wang Mingxuan smiled slightly: "At least in the next three years, there is no need to worry about the sudden recurrence of the injury." ”
At this moment, Zhang Linghan's voice sounded outside the cave mansion: "Poor Zhang Linghan, I don't know if you can meet and talk?"
Regarding Zhang Linghan's attitude towards his peers, Wang Mingxuan didn't care too much.
If you really look into it, Zhang Linghan at least has to call him an elder.
Raising his hand to unlock the prohibition of the cave, Zhang Linghan walked in.
"Congratulations to Daoyou. ”
As soon as Fang met, Zhang Linghan smiled and congratulated.
"There's nothing to be happy about, it's just that the injury is suppressed for the time being. ”
didn't get up to greet him, Wang Mingxuan said in a casual tone.
"The wound of the soul is difficult to deal with, and the Taoist friend can suppress it, which really makes Zhang extremely admired. ”
Worthy of being the master of a sect, Zhang Linghan was not angry because of Wang Mingxuan's slightly arrogant attitude, on the contrary, he sat on another stone bench very casually.
"If you compliment me so much, I will think that you are here to recruit me and want to accept me as my grandson-in-law~"
"Ahem~"
Zhang Linghan never expected that Wang Mingxuan's topic would change so quickly, and he almost forgot the purpose of his coming for a while.
"Haha, Daoyou is really good at laughing. ”
No one had played such a joke with him for more than a hundred years, Zhang Linghan settled down and decided to get straight to the point: "A few days ago, Daoist friends brought back a large amount of 'Starlight Grass', which is a great favor for the sect, so,"
"So you're going to give me Xu Lingyu's girl as a token of gratitude?
First of all, I've always been against arranged marriages.
But if you ask me a few more times, I can break the principle a little bit. ”
"Fellow Daoist!"
"Alright, well, if you have anything to command, just say it. ”
A few words disrupted Zhang Linghan's aura, and Wang Mingxuan took the initiative to cut into the topic.
"I can't talk about it, it's just that I have a book of exercises here, and I want to ask Taoist friends to help me show it. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Linghan took out a pitch-black thread-bound book.
"You are also the master of a sect, what kind of exercises can stump you?"
Hearing this, Wang Mingxuan took the book with some curiosity.
While speaking, Wang Mingxuan looked at it: "En~ I'll take a look, 'Netherworld Decision', the name is quite domineering, like the main practice of the protagonist in a novel who wants to compete with the heavenly test."
Then he opened the book casually, and at this moment, Wang Mingxuan's face suddenly became gloomy.
He suddenly brought the book to his nose and sniffed it,
Then he mobilized his vitality and used his fingers as a knife to draw on the cover.
It stands to reason that with his current cultivation, although the release of Yuan Qi cannot cut the gold and stone, there is no problem in cutting through a book.
But then there's a big problem.
The energetic finger knife slashed, but the cover of the book was not damaged at all!
"A book made of the skin of a monk in the realm of king~"
After a cup of tea, Wang Mingxuan said with some emotion: "No wonder I can't help it when I look at this name, it turns out to be 'Netherworld Decision'~"
"What, did you see something?"
Seeing that Wang Mingxuan was so contrasting before and after, Zhang Linghan asked out loud.
"I see it"
Closing the book, Wang Mingxuan seemed to fall into some kind of memory: "This exercise is an exercise developed by two boring guys after a drunkenness.
I'll just say, drinking and making mistakes, look at it, you can come up with such an unreasonable exercise~"
"Since Daoist friends know the origin of this exercise, can you tell me that it is possible to practice this exercise?"
Seeing that Wang Mingxuan was about to let go of his thoughts, Zhang Linghan immediately interrupted.
"Hey, hey, hey~hey~hey"
Hearing this, Wang Mingxuan let out a series of strange laughs like a mentally ill person, and said, "Cultivation can be cultivated, but,"
"But what?"
"You really want to know?"
Wang Mingxuan showed an evil smile on his face: "I'm not responsible for scaring you~"
"Please also tell each other. ”
"Well, this 'Netherworld Decision' is for the dead to cultivate!"
"What?"
There is a type of people in the monk world who live in the cemetery all the year round and spend their lives with dead corpses.
They don't cultivate vitality, they only refine death qi, and they only pursue the longevity of their physical bodies.
This type of person is called a ghost cultivator!
But even ghost cultivation is just a different mode of survival, in the final analysis, this kind of people are still in the category of living beings.
And Zhang Linghan understands that the dead man Wang Mingxuan said,
But a real dead man!
"I ask you, where did you get Nether Decision?"
"Obtained from the 'Secret Realm of Ruins'. ”
After stabilizing his mind, Zhang Linghan asked again: "Then in this way, no one can really cultivate this exercise?"
"Yes. ”
"Who?"
"Me!"
Wang Mingxuan said a little proudly: "You can guess my origin, but to give you a piece of advice, don't think about going my way again, you will die~"
"Daoist friends laughed, didn't I just want to live longer when I was cultivating? ”
Zhang Linghan pondered for a long time and said, "Since this exercise is related to Daoyou, then I will give it to Daoyou." ”
"Looking for me to see the exercises is only one aspect, if there is anything else, just say it directly, I won't shirk if I can help. ”
"Then forgive Zhang and Meng Lang. ”
"In the next half month, a secret realm will be born,"
"Ruins Secret Realm?"
"Exactly. This secret realm is mysterious, and every time it is opened, there will be a large number of heaven and earth spiritual objects,"
"I guess there will be a lot of forces involved~"
"That's right. Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, there is something in the secret realm of the ruins, which is related to the century-old cause of my Qianwumen, and it is my ambition to win, but I am worried that I will be caught up by hostile forces when the time comes. ”
"So you're going to ask me for help?
That's right, after all, I'm just an inner disciple with a shallow cultivation now, and I'm relatively a fresh face, so I won't be targeted. ”
"Exactly. And with the means of Daoyou, even if there is any change, I believe that Daoyou will be able to deal with it properly. ”
With his palm brushing over the 'Netherworld Decision', Wang Mingxuan suddenly nodded and smiled: "Okay, I will accept this deal!"
