Chapter 200: The Black Stone Ling Family
Chapter 200: The Black Stone Ling Family
At the foot of the mountain, Li Heng rode on a horse and walked slowly. At this time, he had been away from the Baiyun Sect for more than ten days, and with the experience of the last time, it only took Li Heng more than ten days to come to the outskirts of the Heavenly Desolate Forest in the southernmost part of the Refining Martial Continent, but he encountered a problem. This Heavenly Desolate Forest is a forbidden land, but it is also a treasure land, there are a large number of precious elixirs and rare demon beasts in his peripheral Blood Forest, how can the Blood Forest be occupied by dozens of families, large and small, blocking the periphery, and outsiders cannot enter it at all.
The Ling family is a weak medium-sized family in Black Stone City outside the Blood Forest, with medicine collection and refining as the main development route, there are not many masters in the family, only two mid-stage foundation building cultivators, and dozens of Qi Great Perfection cultivators, compared with the top family, it is even weaker and cannot be weaker.
It is precisely because of this that the Ling family decided to hire a scattered cultivation guard medicine collection team to collect medicine, after all, there are many scattered cultivators, and it is not heartbreaking to die, and there are not many children in their own family who have high cultivation, and they are not good at fighting, maybe a disciple of the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation is not as good as a monk who has just broken through the late stage of Qi training, after all, people have been cultivating all the way.
However, the small family is a small family after all, and the background is not deep, so it is impossible to have too much spare money to hire a casual cultivation master, and finally decided to determine the candidates for five temporary guards through screening.
In the afternoon.
Li Heng came to Black Rock City non-stop and rushed to the Ling family in the Northern District.
At this time, the Ling family was quite lively, more than a dozen masters above the late stage of Qi training gathered in the martial arts training ground, among them, there were those wearing green clothes who were the highest cultivators, who were cultivating for the Great Perfection of Qi Training, and there were three Qi Cultivation Eleventh Layers, five Qi Cultivation Ten Layers, and three Qi Cultivation Nine Layer Loose Cultivators, these people added up to more than ten people.
A total of more than ten people gathered here, which made the Ling family quite emotional, if these people are all children of the Ling family, I am afraid that within a few decades, the Ling family can be developed into a strong and medium-sized family, if someone breaks through the Fadan period and becomes a big family, it is also possible, but unfortunately, the idea is the idea, and it is destined to be unrealized.
"Everyone, my Ling family's medicine collection team will enter the Blood Forest tomorrow morning, so, before this evening, five temporary guards will be decided, and the person who loses, I, Ling, will not treat him badly, eat and live here, and definitely make you satisfied." "The one who spoke was Ling Xiangtian, the head of the Ling family who looked to be in his forties, and his strength had just broken through the early stage of foundation building.
Hearing this, one of the casual cultivators asked, "Master Ling, I don't know what the screening rules are?" ”
Ling Xiangtian smiled and said: "It is definitely not realistic to compete one by one, so I have adopted the melee screening rules, you look at the martial arts training ground, there is a white circle there, wait for it, all of you enter it, conduct a melee, those who exit the circle are disqualified, and the last remaining five people will be the temporary escort of the medicine collection team this time." ”
Clearing his throat, Ling Xiangtian said again: "For the sake of fairness, during the melee, you can't be outnumbered, you must be one-on-one, when others are fighting, you can only look for another person, you can't meddle in, I hope everyone remembers." ”
Everyone looked at it, and a huge circle was indeed drawn with white paint on the martial arts training ground, about five zhang in size, which could barely allow more than a dozen people to fight in it, but when the time came, the palm wind, fist wind, sword qi, and sword gang would inevitably affect others, so to speak, the difficulty was very great.
"Okay, there are challenges, I like it. The man in green nodded, looking down at everyone with a haughty expression. His cultivation is the highest in the field, as long as he is not besieged, there will certainly be one of the five names, and now that the rules are inclined to him, how can he have an opinion.
The three Qi Cultivation Eleventh Layer Loose Cultivators were also not far behind, "The martial arts and techniques we have cultivated are wide open and closed, and I like this kind of melee battle the most, haha......"
"Even so, I, Tan, will not be afraid of anyone. ”
"I'll wait too. ”
When it was the turn of the three Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Cultivators, everyone sneered disdainfully, although the three of them were familiar with each other, they were not able to use it at all when they were separated, and the strongest one was about to break through the realm of the tenth layer of Qi Training, and they were not famous, it seemed that they were just here to join in the fun and elevate the others.
Except for these people who are in the late stage of Qi training, the other people have even less confidence.
"Five makeshift guards, count me in. ”
At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the martial arts training ground.
Ling Xiangtian followed the prestige, and couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, what the hell is this person doing, none of the people who came here are ordinary goods, although this person in front of him is not ashamed, he doesn't even show his cultivation, he can't be a master of the rivers and lakes.
The person who came was Li Heng, he was not very familiar with Black Rock City, and he didn't know where the Ling family was, so it was inevitable that he would be much slower than the others, but fortunately, he asked for directions on the way, and this Ling family was also a little famous, so he could reach the Ling family at the designated time.
Seeing that the screening had not yet begun, Li Heng arched his hand and said, "Rest Li Heng in the next, the head of the Ling family is polite." ”
Ling Xiangtian smiled dryly: "If you are one step late, the screening will begin." ”
As soon as the words fell, one of the casual cultivators said sarcastically: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you come or not, but you can stay at Ling's house for one night for free." ”
The man in green chose to watch from the wall, but he didn't have any sympathy for Li Heng in his heart, and some just disdain.
As for the other loose cultivators, they showed a look of schadenfreude one by one.
Li Heng sneered: "It doesn't matter if I come, I'll find out later, what I say now is tantamount to fart." ”
"You're looking for death. As soon as these words came out, the man who mocked Li Heng couldn't help it first, and walked out of it, he was a tall and strong man, with a height of one meter nine, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a thick neck, and a pair of arms thicker than ordinary people's thighs.
At the same time, another young man walked out of the crowd, his appearance was ordinary, but his momentum was not under the tall man, and in just a flash, he came to Li Heng three steps in front of him, and the pale yellow spiritual power was about to burst out, containing unfathomable explosive power.
The two of them stared at Li Heng on the left and right, wanting to make him ugly in front of him.
"Hehe, this kid has angered the Fire Fist King Kunyang and the Jade Sword Xiao Lie, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat. ”
"But no, Wang Kunyang is the peak cultivation of the eleventh layer of Qi training, and he can reach the twelfth layer of Qi cultivation in one step, coupled with his natural great strength, ordinary late-stage Qi cultivation cultivators are not his opponents, and that Xiao Lie is even more terrifying, the speed is incomparable, and when he moves, he will either split the corpse or break his arms and legs, and he is nicknamed the corpse killer, and anyone who sees him will be terrified. ”
"It is estimated that it will not be able to fight, no matter how Ling Xiangtian says, he is also the head of the Ling family, how can he watch things happen. ”
"That's right, alas, it's a pity. ”
As everyone discussed, Wang Kunyang and Xiao Lie's momentum became even stronger, their heads raised slightly, and they looked at Li Heng with a squint.
Hmph! Li Heng was about to have a seizure, giving the two of them a lesson, when Ling Xiangtian stood up.
"Wait, the screening is about to start, the two of you give me Ling Xiangtian a face, don't do it for the time being. Ling Xiangtian had a headache, these casual cultivators are not necessarily very powerful, but they are more arrogant than the other, and they are very difficult to manage, what makes him speechless is that this young man named Li Heng is really arrogant, who is not good to provoke, but he wants to provoke Wang Kunyang and Xiao Lie at the same time, who doesn't know that these two people's eyes can't tolerate sand, black and white, I'm afraid that when the screening is over, I will have to suffer some hardships, but it has nothing to do with him, these casual cultivators are not the Ling family after all, even if they fight life and death, they are not something he can interfere with.
"Hmph, I'll give the Ling family master face, and when the screening is finished, I want you to kneel on the ground and lick my boots. Wang Kunyang spat on the ground, glared at Li Heng viciously, and immediately retracted his momentum and retreated to his position.
Xiao Lie said calmly: "I have to say, you are very lucky, if it weren't for the Ling family master, I would have to cut off one of your arms." ”
Swish!
Xiao Lie's figure quickly dimmed, and he didn't know when he returned to the place where he was standing before, leaving behind an afterimage.
Li Heng, who was about to do it, was expressionless, to be honest, he was angered by the attitude of the two, no matter how strong the competition between the casual cultivators was, but he was not a submissive person, if he provoked him, he would fall down one by one.
"Dad, has the screening begun?" Under the tense atmosphere, a soft voice came, like a yellow oriole, like a wind chime, which was extremely beautiful.
Ling Xiangtian turned his head in surprise and said helplessly, "Xiaoxue, didn't you let you stay inside?"
"I also want to see how good the guards selected by my father this time are, anyway, the captain of the medicine collection team tomorrow is me, why not. Outside the martial arts training field, the twenty-eight-year-old girl walked slowly, with a good appearance, wearing a pink dress, and her graceful posture was like a willow blown by the wind.
With a wry smile, Ling Xiangtian introduced to everyone: "This is the little girl Ling Xue, and she is also the captain of tomorrow's medicine collection team. ”
"Miss Ling, don't worry, with my Wang Kunyang escort, I will ensure that you are safe and sound. Wang Kunyang patted his chest and said loudly.
Ling Xue raised her good-looking brows and smiled, "Then thank you, let's identify five temporary guards first!"
Ling Xiangtian nodded, "The screening begins, please enter the white circle." ”
Hearing this, the man in green was the first to enter the white circle, staring at the others with malicious intent, as if he had already won the battle.
When it was the turn of a few scattered cultivators who had just arrived in the late stage of Qi training, Wang Kunyang snorted coldly: "What are you guys doing when you come in, it's not going to get out later, but that kid has to come in, I'll go to him again." ”
With their heads down, those few casual cultivators still entered it.
There are no other people to target, after all, their strength is too weak, and there is no point in targeting.
After everyone entered, Ling Xiangtian took a deep breath and said, "The screening begins." ”
Boom! Boom!
Almost at the same time as Ling Xiangtian spoke, the people inside had already fought, and the mighty spiritual power flow converged into a surging river, blasting several people away at once.
Ling Xue turned her head sideways and asked Ling Xiangtian, "Dad, you knew before that there were a few that were more powerful, wouldn't it be enough to invite them directly, why did you send the task to all the scattered cultivators?"
