Chapter Seventy-Six: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
The next day, early in the morning.
Yuan Ming came to the fire workshop early, and the work of refining and screening materials was not difficult for him, on the contrary, he was very handy in material identification and gravel screening, and quickly completed all the work at hand.
He didn't waste time resting, but picked up the casting hammer again and began the tedious but challenging embryo refining activity, but after some hard work, the progress did not go well.
In this regard, he was not too discouraged, completed today's task, went to the dining hall for lunch, and rushed directly to the beast control hall.
Yuan Ming now knew that among the three peaks in the sect, the shortest one in the southeast belonged to the Refining Furnace Hall, which was regarded as the territory of the second cave master, and was mainly responsible for the cultivation of the sect's elixir and the refining of the elixir.
Needless to say, the peak in the middle is where the fire refining hall of the three caves is located, which is responsible for refining weapons for the sect.
The highest mountain in the northeast is where the Beast Control Hall under the jurisdiction of the Great Cave Lord is located, and it is also the hall with the most powerful and highest status in the sect.
Since he didn't have his own spirit beast, Yuan Ming relied on a pair of legs to get there, and when he came to the realm of the Beast Control Hall, it was already an hour later.
The situation of the Beast Control Hall is completely different from that of the Fire Refining Hall.
The buildings are widely distributed throughout the peak, and there is a circular reception hall at the base of the mountain.
As soon as Yuan Mingfang entered it, he saw a round-faced disciple with a strong figure and a black tattoo on his face, walking towards him.
"Hehe, this junior brother looks at the noodle student, he has just started, right?" The disciple smiled.
Yuan Ming was a little overwhelmed by this sudden enthusiasm, so he could only nod.
"There is no need for junior disciples to come to the Beast Control Hall, we are here to serve the senior brothers of the whole sect, and the price is also very fair, which can meet all your needs! I don't know if the junior brother came here this time, whether he wanted to rent or buy the spirit beast? I can give you a good introduction. The round-faced disciple asked with a deeper smile.
Yuan Ming was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that he was doing business, no wonder he was so attentive.
"Senior brother misunderstood, I took over the task in the Xing Deacon Hall to learn the basic knowledge of spirit animal breeding." Yuan Ming shook his head with a smile and said.
The round-faced disciple was stunned when he heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his tone became a little lazy:
"Oh, that's right. You took the task, so do you have a sign from the executive hall? ”
Yuan Ming had already prepared it, took it out of his arms and handed it over.
The round-faced disciple took it casually, looked at it, and frowned: "Why do you only have the seal of the Xing Deacon Hall and the signature of the elder?" ”
Yuan Ming frowned when he heard this, he had repeatedly confirmed with the deacon of the deacon hall that as long as there was a seal to sign the book, the other party was obviously putting up a swag to make things difficult for him.
"Let's go back, make up the autograph and come back." The round-faced disciple casually threw the signed book back and wanted to turn around.
At this moment, a figure walked into the hall, and the moment he saw Yuan Ming, he immediately walked towards him.
"Yo, that's not ...... Senior Brother Yuan Ming? ”
Yuan Ming looked at it when he heard the sound and found that the person who came was the disciple of the Beast Control Hall who he had seen yesterday who took care of the fire gluttony.
"Senior Brother Legon, it's a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here." Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows and bowed.
"Senior Brother Yuan is here, it seems that he has thought about it and plans to challenge himself, right?" Legon walked up to Yuan Ming, glanced at the signed book in his hand, immediately understood, and smiled.
"Ahem, Senior Brother Legon, so you know each other......" The round-faced disciple sneered and said.
Legon glanced at the change in his expression, and knew that this guy was making things difficult for others again, so he immediately waved his hand and said:
"I'll take Senior Brother Yuan Ming into the mountain, you don't have to worry about it here, just go with your business."
"Okay." The round-faced disciple didn't mention the autograph anymore, and immediately turned around and left.
"Senior Brother Yuan Ming, come with me." As he spoke, Legon led Yuan Ming through the hall and walked out through the back door.
Out of the mountain gate lobby, Yuan Ming first came to a wide square, and saw a huge circular building, which was built with stone walls throughout the body, and it was very solid when it looked like.
Seeing Yuan Ming's curious gaze, Legon took the initiative to explain: "This is the Colosseum, the disciples of the sect can bring their spirit beasts to the competition, and if they win, they can get a large amount of contribution points." ”
"When is there usually a fight, can you watch from the sidelines?" When Yuan Ming heard this, he suddenly became interested.
"Usually once a month, depending on the number of participants, there will be a variable number of sessions. Elder disciples who do not participate in the competition can also stand by, but they will have to pay an entrance fee of ten contribution points. Legon said.
"Sure enough, it's not free......" Yuan Ming said secretly in his heart.
"Speaking of which, every fight is very lively! Those watching can also place bets at their own discretion, and once the bet wins, they are rewarded with contribution points based on the odds. Legon said with some excitement.
"Can it still be like this?"
Yuan Ming said this, but what he thought in his heart was: "Isn't this just gambling?" I didn't expect that immortal cultivators were no different from mortals at this point. ”
As the two spoke, they bypassed the Colosseum and began to walk towards the top of the mountain along the mountain road behind.
The trees along the road were dense, and there were buildings of different sizes and specifications hidden in them, the number of which was many times more than that of the Fire Refining Hall, and there were faint sounds of various beast roars.
Walking to an open square halfway up the mountainside, Legon stopped and said to Yuan Ming:
"The place where non-disciples of this church come to learn how to control beasts on business is in the animal park in front, I will take you over in a while to register with the deacon elders. After studying, go back the way you came, and don't run around. Our beast control hall has many rules and strict levels, especially in the area above the mountainside, which is the activity range of the inner disciples, and it is generally impossible to go. ”
"Thank you, brother, I remembered." Yuan Ming nodded.
With that, the two came to a courtyard that covered a large area and walked into the front hall.
The deacon elder who was in charge of this place was a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a two-digit beard, and when he saw Legon bringing a stranger over, he asked, "Legon is here, this person next to you is a disciple of the Fire Refining Hall, right?" ”
"The disciple has met Deacon Molu, and this time he came here to take over the task of cultivating spirit beasts and came to listen and learn." Yuan Ming handed over the signed book and said.
"The junior brother is so studious, naturally welcome! Here, come and register and turn in five contribution points. Deacon Hu raised his eyes and looked at him, nodded and said.
Yuan Ming frowned when he heard this.
He received a clear reply from the deacon of the Executive Deacon's Hall, and there is no need to pay for observing and learning the knowledge of spirit animal breeding on business, which is the bottom line that a sect that controls beasts and establishes a sect.
"What, is there anything wrong with Senior Brother Yuan?" Seeing that Yuan Ming's pestle was in place, he didn't mean to move for a long time, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Yuan Ming naturally has no contribution value, and he can't change it for a while, and when he was about to give up and leave, Legong took out his registered disciple waist card and handed it to Deacon Molu:
"Deacon Moru, this junior brother is new and doesn't know the rules, so deduct it from my contribution points."
"I don't understand the rules, you should teach him well, it's a shame that I'm a good talker, and I won't be so polite when I meet others." Deacon Moru's face softened a little.
He took the waist card, pressed it on his waist card, and the light of his palm flashed, and then handed the waist card back to Legon, and then turned and walked towards the door behind him.
"Thank you, brother. I'll pay it back later. Yuan Ming thanked Legong sincerely.
"It's a trivial matter, why worry about it! If it weren't for your help yesterday, there would have been a problem with the fire marten of the Three Cave Lords, and I would definitely have been unable to eat and walk around. Legon waved his hand and whispered.
Just as the two were about to cross the threshold, they suddenly heard a shout from behind them: "Stop." ”
Yuan Ming frowned, and secretly said in his heart: "Unlucky." ”
Legon didn't know why, turned around and looked, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Senior Brother Kuntu, is there something wrong?" ”
Kun Tu directly ignored his inquiry, and only looked at Yuan Ming, revealing a playful look.
Yuan Ming turned sideways and looked at Kun Tu without the slightest avoidance.
He thought that the sect was so big that it would not be so coincidental, but he didn't expect to meet this person, and it can really be called a narrow road.
However, to his surprise, Kuntu was followed by a few people, most of them with dog-legged faces, but one of them was wearing a costume without the logo of the Beast Control Hall, nor did he hang a disciple's waist card, and it was Ulu.
Uru just looked at him with a slight smile, no malice in his eyes, and no intention of greeting him.
"I thought the Three Cave Lords were taking you back for what's the point? Why, running errands to the realm of our beast mastery? Kun Tu's eyes were defiant, and he looked at Yuan Ming and said.
"Senior Brother Kuntu, he ......" Before Legon finished speaking, he was glared at by Kuntu, and he was suddenly silent.
Mo Lu, who had already walked to the door of the back hall, also stopped at this time, turned around and looked, when he saw that the person who came was Kuntu, the two characters at the corner of his mouth trembled, and he immediately smiled with a smile, trotted a few steps to Kuntu, and arched his hand:
"Senior Brother Kuntu, what kind of wind is blowing you here?"
"Moru, when did the Beast Control Hall become so casual, can any cat or dog come in? What if I lose something to cherish the spirit beast? If you are working too hard as a deacon, I don't mind proposing it to the master so that you can concentrate on going back to cultivation. Kuntu glanced at Moru and said.
"Ah, what did Senior Brother Kuntu say! I just looked at this kid with a thief's eyebrows, and he didn't look like a good thing, and I was about to drive him away, so you came here. Hey, what about you, is this a place where you can come anywhere? Don't get out of here! After Mo Lu smiled at Kun Tu, he immediately scolded Yuan Ming with a straight face.
Yuan Ming was already clear from the change in Kun Tu's expression when he saw Legon, although Kun Tu was a new inner disciple, his status in the Beast Control Hall was already very unusual, and today's learning was destined to be in vain, and it would not be good to be forced to stay, but it was easy to be splashed with dirty water.
He wanted to thank Legon but fearing that he would cause him unnecessary trouble, so he said nothing, and turned and walked out of the hall.
"Stop, did I tell you to go?" Seeing that Yuan Ming was ignoring him, Kun Tu's face became more and more gloomy, and he shouted.
The two doglegs who followed him immediately shook their figures, blocking Yuan Ming's way one left and one right.
