Chapter 38: Wan'er's Apprenticeship
Early the next morning, Ling Jun came to the Lingmen meeting hall, and saw Ling Zhonghe discussing something with the second elder Ling Huaiming, and when they saw Ling Jun coming in, the two also bowed slightly.
"Master!"
"Well, what are you two discussing here?" Ling Jun asked.
"That's right, according to the number of contestants and clans this year, almost eighty percent of the contestants in this year's contestants are from the Tianyu Clan, and the contestants in the North and South Cities in previous years are not as many as in one city this year, and I don't know how the Tianyu Clan can cultivate so many young talents in such a short period of time!" Ling Zhonghe's tone was slightly anxious.
After hearing this, Ling Jun said, "If you guessed correctly, it should be the Upper Realm Divine Feather Clan who is helping them." Previously, Ling Fangyu had a battle with Bai Hua, and Bai Hua had already announced a war with my Ling Gate, but he was seriously injured, so the battle did not start. Now the combat power of our clan is far inferior to that of the Tianyu Clan, if we let them develop for another two years according to this year's situation, then we really have no power to fight back. ”
"According to the master, how should we deal with it?" asked Second Elder Ling Huaiming.
Ling Jun paced and thought for a long time, and said: "First take the Black Stone Ridge, destroy the Black Stone Clan, and lead the Qingyuan and Lianhua Valley to garrison the Black Stone Ridge! Then order someone to go to the Dongshan Chimu Clan to send a message to Jing Yue, so that she is always ready to raise troops against the Tianyu Clan! The Broken Mountain Ghost Clan is contacted by me, this matter cannot be delayed, we must destroy the Tianyu Clan before Bai Hua recovers!"
"Then when are we marching towards the Black Stone Ridge?" Ling Huaiming asked again.
"After I have completed the necessary things, I will march to the Black Stone Ridge, and in the meantime, you must make full preparations for the battle!
"Obey!" Ling Zhonghe and Ling Huaiming replied together.
"By the way, I have used up some of the herbs in the herb storehouse, but are there other herbs in the storehouse?" Ling Jun asked Ling Zhonghe.
Ling Zhonghe said: "There is only one warehouse in the clan that stores medicinal materials, if there is any shortage of medicinal materials, the head can write it down, and I will order someone to go to the Taihe Trading House in Twilight City to get it." ”
"Taihe Commercial Bank?" Ling Jun said casually.
"Yes, the largest trading house in Twilight. Perennial medicine from the Valley of Flowers. Ling Zhonghe said.
Ling Jun thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll go there myself, so I don't have to worry about this matter." ”
Ling Jun walked out of the council hall and suddenly remembered that he was going to introduce Wan'er to the ghost today, at this time, the ghost happened to live in Twilight City, because none of the disciples of the ghost clan were shortlisted for the top four, so the ghost planned to leave Twilight City tomorrow and return to Broken Mountain.
Thinking of this, Ling Jun first went to find Ling Fei, and after telling Ling Fei some things, he came to Ling Fangyao's residence.
"Knock knock!" Ling Jun knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and it was Wan'er who came out.
"The benefactor is here!" Wan'er said softly.
"Are you ready? I'll take you to my friend. Ling Jun said.
"Didn't you let me serve Sister Fang Yao for three days? I thought I wouldn't leave until Sister Fang Yao recovered from her injuries. Wan'er said.
Ling Jun smiled slightly and said, "Fang Yao's injury is not serious, I have asked Ling Fei to take care of her." ”
As she was talking, Ling Fangyao walked out of the house, at this time Ling Fangyao's gauze was no longer bloodstained, and it seemed that Ling Jun's medicine still played a big role.
"Master, are you going to take Wan'er away?" Ling Fangyao asked with a look of loss.
"Well, my friend will go back to the clan tomorrow, and let Wan'er go back with him by the way. Ling Jun said lightly.
"Oh, Wan'er, the person your master asked you to meet will definitely not be bad, you have to follow your master to practice hard. Ling Fangyao said, and the tears in her eyes slid down.
Wan'er's eyes were also red, she walked to Ling Fangyao's side and hugged her, and said, "I know Sister Fang Yao, when you can leave the clan, you must go to see me." ”
Wan'er nodded tearfully, raised her hand to wipe her tears first, and then reached out to wipe the tears off Wan'er's face, and said, "Go, next time you see you, my sister will give you a beautiful spirit beast!"
"Okay, sister, take care of yourself, but don't get hurt again!" Wan'er took Ling Fangyao's hand and instructed.
Ling Fangyao grinned, but there were still tears rolling in her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, my sister will get stronger and stronger, and she won't easily let people hurt me again!"
Seeing that the two were reluctant, Ling Jun did not interrupt their conversation, and withdrew from the house by himself and waited outside.
After a long time, Ling Fangyao sent Wan'er out, Ling Jun touched the heads of the two girls, and said loudly: "Life! It's not a bad thing for the two of you to be separated, you each have your own path to follow, and you have your own mission to accomplish, and when you two are successful in your cultivation, you will get together again, and you will find that the decision made by the teacher this time is very correct!"
"Okay, Master, if you don't leave, I won't let Wan'er go with you!" Ling Fangyao had wiped away her tears at this time, revealing a happy smile.
"Just open it if you want to. Let's go, let's go to Twilight. Ling Jun said to Wan'er.
"Oh!"
"Ling Fei will come to take care of you in a while, and go to Twilight City for the teacher to get some more medicinal herbs to make medicine for you for the last day. Ling Jun said to Ling Fangyao again.
"Mmmmmm! Master's medicine is really powerful! He is worthy of being the young valley master of the Pity Flower Valley! It is simply a wonderful hand of rejuvenation, and the divine doctor has descended to earth!" As he spoke, Ling Fangyao stretched out his thumb and compared it to Ling Jun.
Ling Jun shook his head and smiled, and quipped: "Your master is a god of the earth, and your analogy is not enough to satisfy your teacher!"
Ling Fangyao stuck out her tongue and grimaced at Ling Jun, and said, "Shizun is really not modest at all! Okay, let's go, I'll have to feed my spirit beast in a while." ”
Ling Jun left the Ling Gate with Wan'er, and the two arrived at the residence of the ghost of Twilight City.
"Knock!" Ling Jun knocked on the door.
"Come in!" came the ghostly voice from inside the room.
Ling Jun pushed open the door, and Wan'er cautiously followed behind Ling Jun.
"Wan'er, this is that friend of mine, named Ghost, the current patriarch of the Broken Mountain Ghost Clan. Ling Jun said to Wan'er behind her.
Wan'er slowly walked forward from behind Ling Jun, glanced up at the person who was about to become her master, and then saluted slightly, "Wan'er has seen the ghost patriarch. ”
"Haha! I said Brother Ling, you are really good at picking people! Such a thin girl will follow me back to the clan, can she be physically able to withstand it?" the ghost looked down at Wan'er and smiled.
"Didn't you say it before, you are responsible for teaching Wan'er to manage the internal affairs of your Broken Mountain, as for the physical work of collecting and forging, when fate comes, I will naturally find you a strong and strong man, and then you will be able to pass on the forging technique of Broken Mountain to him?" Ling Jun said.
"Okay, good! Your Ling Da Master has spoken, of course I want to listen to it! Even if you find me a fool, my ghost will not say anything, and directly accept her as an apprentice!" As soon as these words came out, Wan'er on the side suddenly became a little unhappy.
"Benefactor, why don't we go......" Wan'er said in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Ling Jun asked.
"Wan'er was born poor, she doesn't know anything, I'm afraid it's no different from that fool, if she becomes a burden to the ghost clan, wouldn't it be a shame for her benefactor......" Wan'er lowered her head, her voice was still very low.
When the ghost heard this, it turned out that it was his words just now that made Wan'er have her own thoughts, which made the little girl feel displeased, so she laughed and said, "Haha! I'm just joking! Miss Wan'er, don't take it to heart! I mean with you...... The benefactor has a very good relationship, and the person he introduced will not be wrong! Well, that's what it means! I'm a rough man, and I don't speak well, so don't take it seriously!"
Wan'er didn't speak, and Ling Jun on the side also smiled and said, "Wan'er still lacks self-confidence." Brother Ghost has to teach her well in the future, so that she has more confidence, you see that she has no confidence to speak now, as soon as you say it casually, the inferiority complex in her heart will come out to trouble, this is not good!"
"Don't worry! This matter is not difficult! The living environment changes, people will naturally change, self-confidence is also obtained from little by little in life, it is not difficult to transform her, the difficult thing is how she can take over my class as soon as possible! Let me follow you!" the ghost said to Ling Jun.
Ling Jun didn't answer, and then said to Wan'er: "Don't worry about learning things from ghosts, your father and I have settled down, you can rest assured, if you miss him, tell your master, he will take you back to visit your father." ”
Wan'er nodded, looked up at the ghost, the emotion in her eyes was very complicated, and she knelt on the ground with her knees bent, and her voice suddenly became much higher than before, and said, "Master, please accept Wan'er's worship!"
The ghost was very satisfied, and kept nodding there, and Wan'er made a great bow to the teacher, and was helped up by the ghost, and the ghost said: "Follow the master, and ensure that no one dares to bully you again! If you let me know who provoked you, the master will definitely kill him!"
"Huh...... I just accepted my apprentice, so I took care of my shortcomings. Tsk......" Ling Jun quipped.
"That's it! Follow my ghost, it's my Broken Mountain Ghost Clan! How can you let people bully? If there is any Li Tieniu and Wang Laohu who come out to bully my apprentices, you see that I don't tear them apart!"
Ling Jun sighed and said, "Hey...... The only time I can give your apprentice the master, let me do it for you. I'm afraid no one will dare to provoke Wan'er in the future......"
"I knew that I could take Wan'er as an apprentice, so I would go with you to do the task of the Li family village!"
"You'd better go back and teach Wan'er for a while! I'll go to the Shadow Killing Sect myself to slowly accumulate points. Ling Jun said.
The ghost scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "Looks like I still can't help you......"
"It's okay, it's okay! Accepting Wan'er as an apprentice is a one-and-done thing, when you take her out of the apprenticeship and come to help me again, wouldn't you have no worries?" Ling Jun squinted and smiled, looking cunning.
"Okay, I'm going to find a boy to be my apprentice, don't forget! I have to teach the ghost clan's magic before I can be the master, otherwise I won't go out of the mountain." The ghost said to Ling Jun with a serious face.
"Don't you worry, just find a fool?" Ling Jun also pretended to be serious.
"If you can cultivate the Netherfire, you can be literate, and the most important thing is to have strength! I don't care if you're stupid!" said the ghost in a sullen voice.
"Okay, no more with you. I still have something to do, you go and arrange a room for Wan'er to stay for one night. Ling Jun said.
"Okay, Wan'er, you wait here for the time being, I'll arrange a room for you to stay for one night, and tomorrow morning, you will go back to Broken Mountain with me." The ghost said.
Wan'er nodded in response.
Ling Jun walked out of the inn, crossed several streets, and came to the door of Taihe Commercial Bank.
Walking into the door, a guy greeted him, and when he saw that the other party was the head of the Ling Sect, not to mention how bright his smile was, he bent down to invite Ling Jun inside, and said, "Oh! The head of the Ling Sect came in person, but what do you want to buy?"
Ling Jun looked around, and found that this Taihe Trading House was not much different from the Treasure Pavilion of the Shadow Killing Sect, in addition to medicinal materials, there were all kinds of other strange things, and after a general turn, he found that the things here were just some things that ordinary people needed, and the most expensive was the ninth-order pill.
Ling Jun glanced at it, and the treasure of the town store on the counter turned out to be a Mortal Ninth Order Pill from his own hand, and this pill was specially designed to treat infertility!
Looking at the counter next to him, it turned out that all the mortal ninth-order pills here were made by him in the Shadow Killing Sect, and he still remembered that the guy who collected the pills seemed to be called Iron Rooster...... Ling Jun thought about it carefully, that person seemed to be called Tie Gongji.
"Excuse me, Tie Gongji is your partner of Taihe Trading House?" Ling Jun asked.
"Ah, yours is our second treasurer?" asked the young man beside Ling Jun.
"Whether it's your second shopkeeper, I don't know, I only know that the man's name is Tie Gongji. "Ling Jun didn't dare to say that he had met Tie Gongji in the Far North, he was covering his face at that time, it was impossible for Tie Gongji to know what he looked like, if he said here that these pills were sold to Tie Gongji by himself, it would reveal his identity as a mission in the Shadow Killing Sect.
"Yes, yes, yes! The second shopkeeper is called Tie Gongji. A few days ago, the big shopkeeper asked him to try his luck in the far north to see if he could receive some treasures back, but he didn't expect the second shopkeeper to really take back a bunch of treasures! No, these pills you just saw are all ordinary ninth-order things!
Ling Jun smiled secretly in his heart, then took out two purchase orders and handed them to the young man beside him, saying, "Help me prepare these medicinal materials." Also, in addition, the medicinal materials in this list are all prepared according to the amount. ”
Ling Jun's first purchase order is the medicinal materials prepared for the Lingmen Medicinal Material Warehouse, which also has the medicinal materials prepared for Ling Fangyao on the last day, and the second purchase order is a purchase order prepared for himself.
With these medicinal materials, Ling Jun no longer has to worry about forgetting to bring money when he goes out......
