Lin Xu told Wang Long, Leopard Print, Huangjiu, and Song Xianyang about the details of the encounter between him and Shangguan Tianfang in the Demon Valley with the Demon Sutra and the wolves, as well as the details of the Demon Dragon's repulsion of the wolves.

Although Wang Lung and Leopard Print and the others did not encounter the demon dragon, they also did not encounter the packs of demon wolves. They just ran into a demon wolf, and finally defeated the demon wolf with all their might, and although each of them suffered a little minor injury, they finally walked out of the demon valley safely.

At this point, Lin Xu's party of six people finally passed the test of the Thousand Ice Sword and officially became the peripheral disciples of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect. After Li Yuejiang congratulated them, he led them to the Thousand Ice Sword Sect.

The Thousand Ice Sword Sect is located at the foot of a high mountain called Thousand Ice Mountain. As soon as Lin Xu heard Li Yuejiang's introduction, he knew that the name of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect was also related to this high mountain.

Lin Xu and the others followed Li Yuejiang to a very wide and flat square first. I saw that there were many disciples of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect in the square who were practicing martial arts, and each of them seemed to be particularly focused and serious. It seems that the Thousand Ice Sword Sect usually has very strict requirements for its disciples.

Standing on the square and looking forward, you will see a magnificent large archway, which is at least dozens of zhang wide and more than ten zhang high. In the middle of the archway is carved four large gilded characters: Thousand Ice Sword Sect, which makes people feel particularly solemn and awe-inspiring.

From this extraordinary archway, it can be seen that the Thousand Ice Sword Sect is indeed extraordinary, and it is worthy of being the largest sword sect in the Jade Empire, even if it is ranked first in the entire Heavenly Sword Continent, it is firmly among the top ten sword sects.

Behind the archway are rows of courtyards of houses, many of which stretch to the halfway point of a thousand icebergs. And the clouds and mist on the thousand icebergs are like a fairyland, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"Wow! that's magnificent, much better than our kamikaze camp. Wang Lung couldn't help but sigh and said.

"That's right, the Lin family of the Shenghua Empire forced us to leave the kamikaze camp, and we are now joining the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, which is much cooler than in the kamikaze camp. Leopard followed Wang Lung and said.

"Having said that, don't forget, we are here to practice swordsmanship in the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, not to enjoy ourselves. One day, we will return to the Shenghua Empire and show the Lin family our prestige. Lin Xuan reminded Wang Lung and Leopard Print, with a serious face, not overly excited at all, and even less joking.

"Yes, big brother, we will not forget, we must follow your instructions, cultivate hard, and strive to improve our strength. Wang Lung and Leopard Print said to Lin Xu.

Lin Xuan knew that his good brothers were not people who coveted wealth and enjoyment, since they could make such a solemn promise to themselves, they would definitely be able to do it, and they would definitely help him in the future and help him achieve his lofty and beautiful goals.

According to the regulations of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, only inner disciples can practice swordsmanship full-time, while outer disciples need to participate in labor, and only after completing a certain amount of labor can they be promoted to inner disciples.

Now that Lin Xu and the others have just joined the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, they can only be regarded as peripheral disciples, so they will inevitably have to participate in labor according to the regulations of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect.

Among the six people in Lin Xu's party, only Shangguan Tianfang is a girl. She was assigned to raise cattle and sheep, while the other five men were assigned to collect hedrons in the quarry. This work is much more laborious and laborious than raising cattle and sheep.

Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang had no objection to such a distribution, especially Shangguan Tianfang went to work very simply and happily. She knew that she was new to the school, and she had to perform well and strive to make a difference. Only in this way can he gain a firm foothold in the Thousand Ice Sword Sect and truly settle down.

Leopard Print, on the other hand, showed great dissatisfaction with this, and even felt particularly angry. He muttered and said to Lin Xu, "Boss, although the Thousand Ice Sword Sect is big, it is too despised to do so. We risked our lives to pass their test, but we were asked to work as hedrome workers. We're here to practice swordsmanship, not workers. ”

"Brother Leopard, don't forget, we are in times of distress. The Shenghua Empire can't go back. If we don't join the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, we won't even have a place to live, so where will we get the conditions to cultivate swordsmanship?" Lin Xuan kindly persuaded Leopard Pattern.

Wang Lung listened, and also helped Lin Xuan to enlighten the leopard pattern and said: "Yes, leopard print, with Brother Lin's current martial arts and cultivation, there is no need to join the Thousand Ice Sword Sect anymore, but he is also for our sake, so that we can live a stable life first, and then we will be willing to be wronged and obey the distribution and arrangement of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect." Even Brother Lin is willing to start as a peripheral disciple of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, so what grievances and unwillingness do you have?"

Hearing this, Leopard Print thought that Lin Xu's martial arts and cultivation were much higher than his own, and he didn't have any complaints, nor did he complain, so he should be even more so. Besides, what Wang Lung said was indeed reasonable. He completely figured it out and saw it.

"Well, Boss, I also know that under the roof of people, we have to bow our heads, and now we have to be patient for a while no more than when we were in the kamikaze camp. Leopard said to Lin Xu very seriously.

"yes, leopard, you can think of it that way. I believe that with our ability, we will not be able to work in the stone field for too long, and we will soon be able to enter the inner gate to practice swordsmanship full-time. Lin Xuan smiled and praised and encouraged Leopard Print.

So, Lin Xu led his good brothers Wang Long, Leopard Print, Huangjiu and Song Xianyang to the stone field of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect to collect spars.

The stone field is actually on the Thousand Icebergs, not far from the cattle farm where Shangguan Tianfang works. If Shangguan Tianfang's side really encountered any trouble, Lin Xuan could also help in time.

According to the rules of the stone field, each outer disciple must collect enough 3,000 spars before they can leave the stone field and enter a higher level. Otherwise, they will have to stay in the quarry until they have collected a sufficient number of hedrons. This amount is indispensable, and there is no room for bargaining.

There were a lot of people collecting spars in the stone field, and there were about five or six thousand men. Lin Xuan was surprised and surprised that everyone was using hammers or axes to collect spars, and the collection methods were still very backward and primitive. Naturally, this kind of work efficiency is also very low.

Lin Xu gently asked a few fellow disciples who were collecting spars, and learned that they had been in the quarry for two months, but they had only collected more than three hundred spars. In other words, if you want to collect the number of 3,000 spars per person, you will have to work hard in the stone quarry for at least twenty months, nearly two years. Lin Xuke couldn't afford to waste such a long time. He couldn't help frowning, feeling that he couldn't do it so brutally, and that he had to think of an ingenious way to improve the efficiency of collecting hedrons.

In the process of Lin Xu's thinking, Wang Long and Leopard Print, as well as Huangjiu and Song Xianyang, had already picked up the axe and pounded the incomparably hard rock vigorously in order to extract the transparent spar buried under the rock.

"Oh, it's so hard, it's so hard to open a rock, and when you open it, you don't necessarily have a spar inside. If you continue like this, you really don't know when you will be able to collect 3,000 spars. Huangjiu couldn't help but say a little deflated.

"The boss just said, since we come, we will be safe, there is no way. So many people are doing this, so we have to do our best. Leopard said to Huangjiu. But his words and face involuntarily showed extreme helplessness at the same time.

Just when everyone was pounding the rocks and collecting spars, Lin Xu still didn't have the slightest intention of doing anything, and was obviously still thinking deeply.

"Look, what is Brother Lin thinking?" Wang Lung first saw Lin Xu's strange appearance, so he said to the leopard print and rice wine.

"The boss may be trying to figure out a way to make it easier and faster for us to collect hedrons. Leopard has always known Lin Xu very well, so he guessed. And he really didn't guess wrong, it can be regarded as saying that Lin Xu's mind at this moment.

"Well, I think that's the same. Brother Lin has always been smart and witty, and there are many good methods, and I believe that he will be able to come up with wonderful ideas to help us get through this time. Wang Lung agreed with Leopard's words, nodded his head, and said softly.

Lin Xu finally thought of a good way to collect spars. He couldn't help but smile happily on his face, and immediately beckoned to Wang Long, Leopard Print, Huangjiu and Song Xianyang, motioning for them to come to his side.

Wang Long and the other four immediately ran to Lin Xu and asked in unison, "Boss, do you have any orders?"

Although in the stone field of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, Lin Xu's identity is exactly the same as that of Wang Long and the others, and they are all equal, and there is no distinction between high and low at all, but Wang Long and the others still regard Lin Xuan as their backbone according to their previous habits in the kamikaze camp, and obey Lin Xu's orders in everything.

"Brothers, I've thought of a good idea. It shouldn't take more than a month for each of us to collect those 3,000 spars. Lin Xu said happily to Wang Lung and the others.

"Really, what's the best way?" Leopard Print was very excited when he heard Lin Xu's words, and couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"You should remember how I taught you how to make red fire hand bullets in the kamikaze camp, right?" Lin Xuan reminded Leopard Print and the others.

Leopard Print and the others immediately nodded, indicating that they did remember the method of making red fire hand bullets. But Leopard Print's mind didn't turn around all of a sudden, and then asked Lin Xu: "Boss, but now the stone field doesn't want our red fire hand bullet, but the spare." We can't make a red fire bullet and use it as a hedroon, can we?"

"I didn't say that I wanted to use the red fire bullet to hit the hedron, but I wanted to use the red fire bullet to blast the rock open and then collect the hedr. It's much faster and easier than if you were to mine with a hammer or axe. Lin Xuan reminded the leopard print and others.
