Chapter Seventy-Nine: Sect Upgrade
readx;? Day and night, it took three days to return to the Qianhu Basin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally, there was no need to rush so much, the Star Altar was not far from Loulan Kingdom, even if there was a delay on the road, five days was enough time to go back, but on the way, Ding Peng received several notices from the system.
It's all good news.
The first is a hint of the system task, Ding Peng completed the third task released by the system, the content of this task is: expand the scale of the sect to 100 people, increase the reputation of the head to 10 degrees, and master a high-level martial arts. The reward for the task is 1000 points. Ding Peng met these conditions, so he successfully completed the system task and gained 1,000 sect contributions.
This task prompt has just ended, and I immediately received the second piece of good news, the system reminded Ding Peng that according to the system evaluation, the Xingzhu faction has reached the conditions for upgrading in terms of the scale of disciples, the scale of the station, and the comprehensive strength assessment, and the Xingzhu faction has officially become a third-level sect.
Ding Peng didn't know how the system evaluated the comprehensive strength, but only in terms of the scale of the sect, 100 or so people are third-level sects, Ding Peng understood that the gold content of this third-level should be relatively high, and he was a little curious about the top ten most powerful forces on the rivers and lakes now, such as the Tongxin Alliance and the Four Seas Gang, who did not know how many levels of sects they were in the evaluation of the system.
After the sect was upgraded to the third level, Ding Peng immediately received several system prompts, the first of which was that the system released the fourth task: to expand the scale of the sect to 200 people, increase the reputation of the head of the sect to 50 degrees, and master at least one divine martial arts. Reward Sect Contribution: 10,000 points.
Obviously, the difficulty of this task is no longer in the scale of the disciples, since Ding Peng has already recruited 100 disciples, on this basis, recruiting another 100 disciples, the degree of difficulty will inevitably be greatly reduced; as for the mastery of divine skills, it is naturally not difficult for Ding Peng, after mastering sufficient resources, he has enough contribution points to exchange what he wants from the system. The difficulty of this task is actually in the reputation of the master, Ding Peng has been mixed from the head of the Lingshan faction to the head of the Xingzhu faction, from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, it took so long to accumulate to 10 degrees, and now the system suddenly requires 50 degrees, this is not an ordinary number superposition, it can be seen from the previous experience that the more the reputation is later, the more difficult it is to improve, this is the key to the completion of the task.
Ding Peng doesn't have a specific idea for the time being, so he can only take one step at a time, skip this, and look at the next prompt.
His Yuan Yuan Gong has also been upgraded because of the rising tide, and he has been officially promoted to level 6, and after Yuan Yuan Gong level 6, the conversion rate of internal force into true qi has become 30%, that is, thirty percent of the internal force in Ding Peng's body will be converted into Yuan Yuan true qi.
At the same time, he also harvested a seed of Yuan Yuangong, last time because Ding Peng wanted to turn Hu Weiming into a die-hard disciple, but he wasted a seed in a hasty experiment, which made him feel distressed for a long time, and now he finally made up for this loss, Ding Peng decided that he would not be absolutely sure of it in the future, and he could not make it easily, because the conditions for seed implantation were very harsh, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would lose both people and money, and only with great certainty could he hope to succeed.
In addition to these hints, to Ding Peng's surprise, there was another piece of information, after Yuan Yuan Gong was promoted to level 6, he got an additional ability: Heyuan initiate.
Looking at the literal meaning is not too clear, Ding Peng even thought of male and female double cultivation, but then looked at the annotations of the system, and was overjoyed, good guy, this time Yuan Yuangong gave a lot of color.
It was precisely because of this hint that Ding Peng ordered everyone to speed up the journey, and rushed back to the sect in only three days.
After returning to the sect, Ding Peng summoned Li Kun and Xiugu as usual to inquire about the affairs of the sect.
One of these two people is hard-working, the other is smart and careful, and they share a lot of chores for Ding Peng, the head of the sect, especially when he is not in the sect, these two right-hand men are conscientious, and they are even more orderly than when he was in the sect.
The results of this report also satisfied Ding Peng, although during his absence, there were some major or minor accidents in the faction, but under the auspices of the two, it did not cause much consequence, and some hidden dangers were quickly eliminated before they were formed.
Therefore, Ding Peng was very satisfied and praised their handling of the situation, and then Xiu Gu reported an accident.
Tong Laomu of the Qilian faction finally died, about half a month after Ding Peng left, the disciples of the fire group fought with Tong Laomu, Tong Laomu injured three disciples in a row, just when the fourth person was about to step forward, Tong Laomu looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, suddenly fell to the ground, after drug first aid, there was no effect, Tong Laomu lay down all night, and died the next morning after spitting a few mouthfuls of black blood.
Ding Peng was a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and reluctantly laughed dryly, and asked, "How did you deal with the corpse?"
Li Kun hurriedly said: "The disciple doesn't know the master's mind, and he doesn't dare to make his own decisions, please ask the master to show me, and the disciple will do it immediately!"
Ding Peng was silent for a moment and said, "What do you two think?"
Li Kun didn't dare to make a statement in a hurry, and looked at Xiugu, who spoke quickly, and said: "The disciple thinks that he should be buried thickly, although he is an enemy, but the death of a person is great, it is better to let him be buried in peace." ”
"Huh?" Ding Peng raised his eyebrows, his face a little unhappy.
Li Kun hurriedly said: "Xiugu's suggestion is not suitable! This bastard insulted his master many times before his death, and he chattered endlessly when he died, and the disciple thought that he should be brutalized in the wilderness, and let the poisonous insects and beasts divide his body, so as to have the effect of punishment." ”
"Bastard!" Ding Peng said angrily: "Tong Laomu is also a man after all, how can he insult him like this!"
Li Kun was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The disciple is stupid and ignorant, damn it, really damn it, please punish the master!"
Ding Peng's face softened slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Get up, you are also a hard worker, and the teacher is not angry with you." ”
Waiting for Li Kun to get up, Ding Peng looked at the two disciples who were at a loss and said: "Although Tong Laomu finally betrayed his master and betrayed his senior brother, but this is also forced by the situation, how many people can endure such a long-term torture? But Xiugu's suggestion is not appropriate, although the teacher respects him as a good man, but in the end he still has to let him die quickly, why? Just because my Xingzhu faction has not been created for a long time, although it has begun to have strength, it is not enough to compete with a famous faction like the Qilian faction, so Tong Laomu's imprisonment must not be revealed, he only has a dead end. And with Xiugu's method, if he is buried, this will bury a hidden danger, there is no absolute thing in the world, who dares to guarantee that the Qilian faction will not find out about this matter one day? The corpse in the tomb is the evidence, and we will not be able to quibble at that time. ”
Xiu Gu nodded: "Master, the disciple understands, if you want to make this matter impossible to investigate, the best way is to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, without leaving any evidence!"
Ding Peng sighed and said helplessly: "Although I don't want to do this, the situation is pressing, so I can only act like this." As a teacher, I heard that the Tajiks in the Western Regions have a cremation method, burning the remains with a raging fire, which can help people to ascend to the afterlife as soon as possible. Tong Laomu is an iron man, I would like to borrow a beam of holy fire for the time being, Li Kun, this matter will be handed over to you, you can find nowhere to burn the corpse, and then bury the ashes thickly, but no marks can be left on the grave. ”
Li Kun was furious in his heart when he heard this, and secretly glanced at the master's compassionate face, if he was born in the afterlife, a familiar adjective might rise in his heart - crocodile tears.
Li Kun didn't dare to think about it, so he hurriedly answered yes and took over this terrible errand.
The three of them then discussed the affairs of the sect for a while, and when they agreed on their opinions, Ding Peng sent Li Kun away, leaving only Xiu Gu.
Xiu Gu said quietly: "You, you are becoming more and more ruthless...... the last sentence did not come out: it became more and more similar to the person in my memory.
Ding Peng still took into account some of his image in Xiugu's heart, and pretended to be very helpless and said: "You also know that being a teacher is not allowed in the Central Plains, if the Central Plains martial arts know about the Xingzhu faction, I am afraid that we will immediately come to a catastrophe, and now the teacher is not as single as before, and there are so many disciples in his heart, so naturally he can't do things according to his feelings, hey, I will pay attention next time." ”
Xiu Gu was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "What happened when the master left the disciples?"
Ding Peng smiled and said mysteriously: "The teacher has recently made a new breakthrough in martial arts, which is of great significance, and will have many benefits to the disciples in the sect, but this first benefit, no one is worried about the teacher, I only think about you, I hope you will accompany the teacher to practice and see how much you can gain." ”
Xiu Gu knew that most of what he said was hypocritical, but she couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, and the figure in her heart kept overlapping with the master in front of her, and she couldn't help but say: "You just have to say, I am willing to do whatever I want." ”
Ding Peng smiled: "You don't need to do anything, just follow your feelings." Carefully experience the process, and when you are done, you should tell all your feelings as a teacher. ”
Xiugu's heart trembled, thinking of the shameful things he and Hong Yuqing and others had done, and she wanted to escape, but she couldn't open her feet, and her mouth said as if involuntarily: "I...... I listen to you. ”
