Chapter 7 Bribery of the Danfang Deacon
The previous thirty-one Silver Star Pills, after ten consecutive days of cultivation, were consumed to the point that only one remained. Although Ling Zheng had the black ancient mirror that could turn the waste pill into a spirit pill, where to get the waste pill was a big problem.
Although the waste pill is worthless, because it may contain toxicity, it is easy to be picked up and swallowed by disciples who do not know the truth, thus causing human death. Therefore, the Burning Gate Danfang is very cautious about the disposal of waste pills, and it is generally entrusted to the elders who build the foundation realm to cultivate, or the deacon in the door to do it personally.
Ling Zheng had also gone to the Danfang to ask for the abolition of the pill to treat his injuries, but if he often asked for it, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of others.
Therefore, if you want not to be suspicious and get a steady stream of waste pills, you must first understand how the Burning Gate Danfang disposes of waste pills and where to deal with waste pills.
Looking at the last remaining Silver Star Pill in his hand, Ling Zheng decided to leave it behind for emergencies.
Counting the days, there are still five days before the next distribution of pills from the Burning Gate. Ling Zheng decided that on the day of the distribution of the pill, he would first try to contact the people in the Danfang.
In the next five days, Ling Zheng, who had stopped taking the pill, chose to cultivate in the incinerating crypt again. Because of his advanced cultivation, Ling Zheng's physical strength had also improved significantly, and now, he was able to cultivate for five consecutive hours in the fourth layer of the flame space of the Incineration Crypt.
Moreover, after condensing the spiritual power orb and manifesting the spirit pattern and spiritual aperture, although he did not get **, Ling Zheng's speed of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was much faster than before. Although this kind of cultivation speed is far less than swallowing pills, it is also much stronger than not cultivating.
Another point is that after Ling Zheng's cultivation advanced to the third order of the Spirit Condensing Realm, the unknown existence that used to run out and beat him never appeared again. This made Ling Zheng puzzled at the same time, but he actually faintly missed something.
Five days later, it was time for the Burning Fire Gate to distribute the elixir.
Ling Zheng counted the time, and after most of the people in the door had received the pill, he walked to the peak where the Danfang was located.
After entering the hall where the pills were distributed, Ling Zheng was secretly happy when he saw that it was only a deacon from the Danfang who distributed the pills this time.
Moreover, there is no one else around.
"A low-grade Huang Ludan, wait, I'll get it for you. ”
The deacon knew Ling Zheng, and before Ling Zheng could speak, he waved his hand, intending to give Ling Zheng the pill from the Qiankun bag.
"Deacon Wang, this time I can get three Huang Lu Dan. Ling Zheng said, stretching out his hand and pointing to the broom used for cleaning not far away.
The broom shook for a while, then slowly levitated.
After advancing to the third order of the Spirit Condensing Realm, Ling Zheng found that the attributeless spiritual power in his spiritual power magic ball was much stronger than that of ordinary disciples of the third order of the Spirit Condensing Realm. This exorcism can be easily used by him, even if it is to make a large rock fly around. But he was cautious by nature and didn't want others to know the secret.
Therefore, Ling Zheng's hand exorcism technique did not show all his strength.
"Huh?"
Deacon Wang was a little surprised, and looked at Ling Zheng carefully, knowing that since he could use the exorcism technique, he was at least a third-order cultivator in the Spirit Condensation Realm.
"Okay, I can give you two Huang Lu Dan this time. Deacon Wang said, took out three bright yellow pills from the Qiankun bag and handed them to Ling Zheng.
Ling Zheng looked at these three low-grade pills that were a little miscellaneous, and secretly said that this thing was too far behind the Silver Star Pill he had taken before.
"It doesn't look like anyone will come to get the pill anymore. Deacon Wang muttered to himself and got up to leave.
"Please stay. ”
Ling Zheng hurriedly chased after him, and at the moment when Deacon Wang hadn't turned around, he stuffed a Huang Ludan into his hand quite covertly.
"Deacon Wang, please accept it. Ling Zheng said in a low voice.
Deacon Wang was stunned for a moment, glanced around a few times, and saw that no one saw it, so he hurriedly picked up the Huang Ludan that Ling Zheng stuffed into him, and his face became much better in an instant.
Deacon Wang is a cultivator of the ninth order of the Spirit Condensation Realm, and there is still a long way to go before the tenth order of the Spirit Condensing Realm, that is, the Great Perfection of the Spirit Condensing Realm. However, as long as he advanced to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Condensation Realm, he would be able to be promoted from a deacon to an alternate elder. But what gave him a headache was that the pills had always been in short supply.
Like other sects of cultivation, the Burning Fire Gate was extremely strict in its control of pills. Although Deacon Wang's status in the Danfang is not low, and he can receive an extra five pills per month, it is still far from enough. The more pills there are, the better, and with each more pill, he will be able to grasp the great perfection of the advanced Spirit Condensation Realm by one more point. At this moment, seeing that Ling Zheng took the initiative to give him the pill, he was naturally in a good mood, and his attitude towards Ling Zheng was instantly kind.
"Senior brother, what's the matter?" Deacon Wang gently patted Ling Zheng's shoulder, showed a smile that you and I both understand, and asked kindly.
Seeing that Deacon Wang's address to himself changed from "you" to "junior brother", Ling Zheng knew that he had successfully taken the first step to contact the Waste Pill.
"That's right, Senior Brother Wang. Ling Zheng also changed his title and whispered: "I want to ask, is there a shortage of manpower in the Danfang recently?"
Deacon Wang immediately understood what Ling Zheng meant, and asked, "What's the matter, junior brother wants to enter the Danfang on an errand?"
Seeing Ling Zheng nodding, Deacon Wang immediately showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Oh, this matter is not easy to handle. Senior brother, you should know that although it is very hard to be an errand in the Danfang, there are additional pills distributed every month, so many people in the door want to enter the Danfang on errands. ”
"The low-level disciples in the Dan room, one more me is not too much. Ling Zheng said, and gave another Huanglu Dan to Deacon Wang, and said with a smile: "Besides, whether you can enter the Dan room or not is not a matter of your words, Senior Brother Wang. ”
Seeing that Ling Zheng was so "sensible", Deacon Wang immediately put on a bright smile: "Since my junior brother is so interested, then I will be a good person again." In this case, I'll go back and report first, and you can come to Danfang on an errand tomorrow. ”
Ling Zheng made a happy expression and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang, I don't know what errand Senior Brother Wang is going to arrange for me?"
Deacon Wang's eyes flashed, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you also know that the errands in the Danfang have always been quite rigorous, and there is no room for mistakes and omissions. Just like me, managing the distribution of pills, this is a big deal, and you can't be sloppy at all. ”
Deacon Wang walked around in a circle and said with a smile: "Now I am still on the errand of disposing of waste Dan in the Danfang...... I don't know if you're interested, junior brother?"
Ling Zheng was stunned, he originally thought that if he wanted to contact the Waste Pill, it would definitely take a lot of twists and turns. Unexpectedly, this errand would be smashed in front of him all at once!
Seeing that Ling Zheng was stunned, Deacon Wang thought that he was unwilling to take on this errand, so he hurriedly said: "Senior brother, don't deal with the errand of waste pills, if you do it well, you will also have an additional subsidy of three Huang Lu Dan every month." ”
"It's not a secret, because I originally had an additional subsidy of five pills per month, and the Danfang didn't plan to add three more to me after giving me this errand. If you take this errand, junior brother, you can not only reduce my burden, but also receive three more pills a month. You can't find the best of both worlds with a lantern. ”
Deacon Wang flickered at Ling Zheng with an eager expression, trying his best to unload him with the burden of disposing of the waste pill on his body. Ling Zheng had an embarrassed expression on his face, but his heart was already happy.
"Then, I don't know what to do with this waste pill?" Ling Zheng asked with some hesitation.
"It's simple. Seeing that there was a door to this matter, Deacon Wang hurriedly said, "Just throw the waste pill taken out of the Dan room into the fifth layer of the flame space of the fire crypt of our fire gate." Of course, how terrifying the flames in that place were, I think the junior should know. For this reason, our Danfang has rules, as long as you go to dispose of the waste Dan, you can get a first-order talisman engraved with fire avoidance techniques. With that talisman, naturally I am not afraid of being burned by the flames. ”
To put it bluntly, Deacon Wang was afraid that he would be contaminated with fire poison in the fifth-layer flame space and hinder his cultivation, so he tried his best to hand over this unfortunate errand of disposing of the waste pill to Ling Zheng.
Only then did Ling Zheng know the disposal method of the waste pill, and he felt that this errand was simply tailor-made for himself. Now that he has cultivated to the advanced level, even if he doesn't use that fire avoidance talisman, he can stay in the fifth layer of flame space for a while unharmed.
"Alas, well. Since I can reduce the burden on Senior Brother Wang, I will take this errand. Ling Zheng said helplessly on the surface: "In the future, I will ask Senior Brother Wang to take care of it." ”
When Deacon Wang saw that Ling Zheng had taken over the errand of disposing of the waste pill, he was overjoyed. He laughed and patted Ling Zheng's shoulder quite enthusiastically: "That's for sure." Also, don't call Senior Brother Wang in the future, it looks weird. My name is Wang An, if Brother Ling Zheng doesn't dislike it, just call me Brother Wang in the future. ”
Ling Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "The extra pill subsidy, please ask Brother Wang to bother more." ”
He had to show that he valued the extra pill allowance of three pills a month. Otherwise, after a long time, he will definitely be suspected by this deacon named Wang An.
Wang An's black face was as happy as a chrysanthemum, patting his chest and swearing: "Brother, don't worry, the matter of the pill subsidy, the eldest brother must not be ambiguous." You've lightened the burden for me, and if I don't help you with this, am I still human?"
Disposing of waste pills is a hard job that no one wants to take, and there is actually an additional subsidy of four pills per month. Ling Zheng took this errand, not only so that Wang An no longer had to worry about being entangled in fire and poison, but also allowed him to deduct one pill a month, which could be regarded as additional income.
"Then thank you Brother Wang first. Ling Zheng also smiled brightly.
In this way, Ling Zheng and Wang An, who had already begun to call themselves brothers, each smiled with a ghostly heart, and then said goodbye in a good mood.
Early the next morning, Ling Zheng, who was so excited that he hadn't slept all night, went to the Danfang as soon as possible. In order to make Ling Zheng accept this errand willingly, Wang An specially took Ling Zheng to the Qitang, and asked Ling Zheng for a Qiankun bag for storage in the name of Danfang.
According to the rules of the Incineration Gate, only those who have cultivated to reach the fifth level of the Spirit Condensation Realm can receive the Qiankun Bag. Wang An's move can be regarded as buying people's hearts, and it is also clear that he wants Ling Zheng to bear this drudgery that no one is willing to do in his opinion.
Ling Zheng could naturally see Wang An's intentions, but he didn't break it. He was already very satisfied with the errand of being able to dispose of the waste pill, and now that he had the Qiankun bag, he was finally able to carry his things with him with confidence.
After that, Wang An took Ling Zheng back to the Dan room, handed over two large iron boxes full of waste pills to Ling Zheng, and gave him a first-order talisman engraved with fire avoidance, and told Ling Zheng to pay attention to safety.
Although Ling Zheng's Qiankun bag was the lowest-level storage artifact, and there was only a few feet of space inside, there was absolutely no problem with holding these two large boxes.
So, Ling Zheng, who was carrying two large boxes of waste pills, rushed almost all the way to the fourth layer of the flame space of the empty Incineration Crypt and sat down in that safe corner.
"Bang!
After throwing the two iron boxes full of waste pills on the ground, Ling Zheng took out the black ancient mirror from his arms and placed the black ancient mirror on top of the box of waste pills with anticipation.
What Ling Zheng didn't notice was that at this moment, in the pitch-black passage leading to the fifth layer of flame space not far behind him, those blazing and ferocious red eyes appeared again, looking at him with extremely complicated eyes.
