Chapter 14: Finding a Team
The sun was scorching, and the sun scorched the earth, burning the blood-red earth like a turtle shell, and the feet stepped on the ground, and a trace of heat gushed out of the ground. The cultivators on the road were sweating profusely and complaining about the ghost weather.
Under a large tree, sat a sweaty young man, who only rested for a moment, then got up and prepared to continue walking. The boy seemed to be bearing some heavy load, his back was a little slight, and every step he took was powerful and heavy, splashing bursts of red soil.
The boy walked and stopped, and the strange appearance made people passing by look sideways, thinking that the boy had suffered some kind of injury or had a hidden disease, and some well-wishers came up to ask if he needed help, the young man could only shake his head bitterly and purse his dry lips. After walking for another ten miles, the young man couldn't hold on, so he found a piece of grass and lay down, letting the hot sun shine on his face, and the crystal beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks one by one, and he didn't want to move a tired finger.
"Master Lin, isn't this pressure too much, I don't feel like it's in line with my strength. The spiritual power in the body is running slowly, and the distance that could have been reached in only two hours has now been forced to walk for four hours, and I don't know how far it will be to arrive!" Xia Ruyi was panting like a cow, and his voice was a little hoarse because of excessive detachment.
"Hehe, the kid didn't turn back when he opened the bow, you won't understand, right? I once had a few students, who didn't adapt at first, but they all gritted their teeth and persevered, and then all of them were big names on the big side. If you want to be a strong person, the more solid the foundation, the higher the achievement. I can't bear this bit of hardship, and I still talk big things. Master Lin said in a serious tone.
"Hehe, I'm just kidding. I still understand the truth of being a master after suffering hardship. It's just that in addition to the pressure on the body, why does the spiritual power seem to be running slowly?" Xia Ruyi was a little puzzled.
"Because what you want to cultivate is physical strength, if you feel tired, then you will naturally use spiritual power, so I also control the flow of spiritual power in your body. This is not only good for your physical cultivation, but also extremely helpful for spiritual power cultivation, the more ruthless the suppression, the more powerful the rebound. It's like a seal, and now you can't even deal with someone who has just entered the Spirit Breaking Realm, but once you break the shackles I have imposed on you, you can deal with the enemies of the higher realms. Master Lin's voice came slowly.
Okay, okay, the boy knows that Master Lin is also for his own good. At the end of this day, I finally tasted what it means to be truly exhausted, and the exhaustion I experienced in my previous cultivation was really weak. The thought of going through this inhuman torture for a long time in the future made the boy's mood not very beautiful.
Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Qingxi Town had finally arrived.
There is a small stream running through the middle of the town, as the name Qingxi Town. Because the town is relatively close to the Thousand Stars Mountains, the largest crowd is still adventurers, and this group of people is licking blood on the knife edge day by day, so they have a characteristic, that is, they spend money very boldly, and they don't know what tomorrow will be, and what is the use of keeping money.
Xia Ruyi walked in the town and found the most pubs, followed by inns. Unlike in the city, it is lit up at night and bustling with activity. Many merchants also saw the business opportunities here, and although it was dangerous, they still opened up their industries, pharmacies, and weapons shops...... Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
Although the weather is hot during the day, Qingxi Town is exceptionally cool and pleasant at night. The breeze is coming, the water is not rippling, but the young man is particularly eye-catching, alone, the realm is like a broken spirit realm, but the spiritual power is very weak. The most puzzling thing is that the young man was sweating profusely and kept wiping his forehead.
The boy didn't care about the gaze around him, and he had it on his own.
"Join this party, and then I'm definitely going to hunt the beasts, I've got to get something ready. Walking to the door of an armory shop, which was engraved with three big characters of the Tibetan Arsenal, the young man couldn't help but wonder, "In this small place, the armory shop actually took such a name, and I just happened to lack a weapon to take advantage of." ”
When he walked into this shop, there was no one inside, and the young man looked at it alone. He picked up a knife, swung it twice, found that it was not suitable for him, picked up another sword, and when he found it too light, he threw it aside.
"Are there any living people?" called the boy.
A middle-aged uncle walked out of the inner room with a cigarette in his mouth, "Young man, what are you buying at such a late hour?" My name is Nas, the blacksmith and owner of this shop. ”
"I wanted to pick a weapon that was handy, a little heavier. No, heavier, better. "This is also what Master Lin asked before.
Nas brought Xia Ruyi an axe, a mace, and a spear, all of which were heavier than the same, but they were all vetoed. In fact, it's not that Xia Ruyi is picky, but that Master Lin doesn't take a fancy to it.
"And what do you want? I've got you the heaviest weapon. Nas said impatiently.
Xia Ruyi looked around and saw a stick about six feet long, but it didn't look like a stick, if Master Lin hadn't told him that it was a good thing, he wouldn't have paid attention to this ugly thing at all.
This iron rod should not be called an iron rod, the pits on it are covered with rust, one is convex and one is concave, and the length is about five and a half feet, about the same length as Xia Ru. "Boss Nas, how do you sell this thing?"
"You say this iron lump? I usually use it to pad the corners of the table, which is not very useful. But it's really heavy, it should be about a thousand pounds, and I'm having a hard time fiddling with it anyway. "Uncle Nas doesn't seem to want to entertain the boy anymore. "You can take the 100 gold coins, I'm useless anyway, even if it's a good thing, I recognize it. ”
Xia Ruyi handed over 100 gold coins and dragged the iron rod out. "This thing really has a thousand pounds, you won't want me to use it as a weapon, I have a hard time lifting it, how to fight it, and its appearance is really bad. Xia Ruyi cried with a sad face.
"Are you wondering what's the use of this thing? You just have fun, you don't know what's going on. Master Lin said loudly.
As soon as he heard this, Xia Ruyi came to his senses, "What kind of good thing is this, don't you look good." ”
"This thing is just gold and jade, and inside it is a piece of heavy iron, which is the best refining material, thanks to the blacksmith who doesn't know the goods. I don't need it right now, but it's stick-shaped and weighs a thousand pounds, so it's perfect for you. You just carry it to cultivate every day, and I don't have to put pressure on you. Master Lin looked gloating.
Xia Ruyi struggled to put the iron rod on his shoulder, and Master Lin withdrew the pressure, but this thing was a few points more than the weight given by Master Lin, and his heart collapsed.
The silver-white moonlight shone on the town, the clear stream shimmered, and the leaves rustled by the wind. The town was silent, Xia Ruyi took a bath in the stream, and there were faint muscle lines on his body, and he was no longer the weak boy he used to be.
Unloading the weight of his whole body, Xia Ruyi felt relaxed, a day of training really made him breathless, and now he can finally relax. After getting dressed, Xia Ruyi ran the exercises, the aura entered the body, every pore of the body was frantically absorbing the aura, and the spiritual power in the body was becoming more and more full, when the exercise ended, the last aura was transformed into spiritual power, and the realm quietly broke through the 3rd stage of the broken spirit realm.
Xia Ruyi opened his eyes, thinking that this Lin Master's method was really useful, but he didn't expect that it would not be long after he broke through, and he broke through again. Now that the Spirit Realm is in the 3rd stage, the ability to protect oneself has increased a little more.
-----------------------
The cruel day began again, early in the morning, Xia Ruyi came to the pharmacy with a thousand-pound stick. It is inevitable to get injured in field battles, and some basic healing medicine must be prepared. Looking at the price, it is slightly more expensive than in the city, but it is also within the acceptable range. A bottle of basic tonic elixir costs 100 lower grade star stones, and the second-order jade elixir costs 500 lower grade star stones, although this medicine is a bit expensive, but they are all necessities, Xia Ruyi also tonifies stinginess, tonic spirit pill and jade spirit pill each bought a bottle. After buying, the daughter found that her deposit was only 500 grade star stones, and in addition to the money used up in the auction, she had to use some of the others, and Xia Ruyi became a poor person again.
"It seems that I can't make any money, everything is ready, I have to find an adventure party to do a mission. ”
Arrived at the Adventurer's Guild's chapter in the town, which was packed with people. Xia Ruyi looked at the recruitment information: the Wild Lion Adventure Group needs a healer, and the Heavenly Imperial Adventure Group has a defensive warrior who can resist the attack of alien beasts...
Xia Ruyi was dazzled, but there were too few who met his own conditions.
"Brother, are you looking for an adventure group?" an uncle about thirty years old patted Xia Ruyi on the shoulder.
"Hmm. ”
"Are you interested in joining our Seven Kills Squad? Although there are only four people in our team, all of them are elites, if you want to make money, it is not wise to join a large adventure party, if there are many people, there will be very few people assigned to you. Uncle pitched.
Xia Ruyi thought this uncle was very interesting, "Do you think I'm suitable for your team?"
"Breaking the Spirit Realm 3rd stage, I can still carry this thousand catties of iron rods, and my strength should be about the same. Uncle smiled.
Xia Ru became vigilant as soon as he heard this, Master Lin had already lowered his realm, and those who could see his specific realm were either stronger than a big realm, or they had special exercises. I didn't observe it carefully just now, but now I am looking at this uncle, and I smell a dangerous aura from his body, this is from absolute strength suppression, he is a strong person in the Qingling Realm!
"Okay, then I'll join you, where are the other members, and how will the income be divided. Xia Ruyi hesitated for a moment and then chose to join, after all, the leaders of those large adventure groups only cleared the spirit realm.
"Everyone else is preparing for the mission, and I'm in charge of recruiting someone, and you'll see you in a moment. The income is shared equally among everyone. Also, my name is Seven Kills, the Captain of the Seven Kills Squad. ”
"My name is Xia Ruyi, please take care of me in the future!"
