Chapter 072: The Knight in the Sunset
Deep in the alley.
After turning several corners, Lin Yue came to an inconspicuous wooden door.
On the wooden door, the wood paint has peeled off a lot, and it looks a little old.
…
Knock, knock, knock.
Lin Yue knocked lightly on the door.
"Good rain knows the season."
Behind the wooden door, a deep voice was heard.
"You get your shoes wet when you walk."
Lin Yue replied softly.
Giggle.
The wooden door was opened, and a masked man glanced at Lin Yue and gave way of his position.
Lin Yue didn't delay and walked inside.
…
Soon after.
The wooden door opened again.
Lin Yue came out of the wooden door, listened to the sound of the door closing behind him, and walked towards the alley with a calm face.
As a scout, Lin Yue naturally knows some ways to come from various sources of information.
The place I just went to was an underground force that sold intelligence, and this kind of underground force existed in every city.
It is not difficult to find it all.
If you don't understand, it's really difficult to get in touch with it.
The rough information of the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls and the Aoki Sect, Lin Yue had naturally gotten it at this time.
I also have a general understanding of why the Aoki faction needs to recruit fighters from abroad.
The Aoki faction started its sect based on alchemy, and although it is not comparable to the Thunder Sword Sect in Xijing, it is also a little famous.
Although the entire Aoki faction, all up and down, is added together, there are only more than 100 monks.
But everyone, even if they are not alchemists, is also a pharmacist.
This also makes the popularity of the Aoki faction not bad, and many small sects have deals with the Aoki faction regarding alchemy and healing.
However, since the head of the Aoki faction, when he was bidding for elixirs in a fang market auction house, he had some conflicts with the young valley master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls.
The situation changed a little, and the trouble began.
There is no information on the details of this, after all, this kind of underground force also has the limit of ability.
However, the strength of the ninth level of the foundation building period of the head of the Aoki faction is in the information.
As for the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, it made Lin Yue frown a little.
What this Ten Thousand Souls Valley insists on saying is not a force, it is more like a gathering place of three sects and nine rank demon path cultivators.
They are all some extremely vicious people, in order to resist the famous and decent defenders, so they gather together and huddle together to keep warm.
If you want to talk about the overall strength, in this Xijing land, it is only weaker than the Thunder Sword Gate.
The valley master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls is a monk of the Jindan period.
Moreover, this Valley Master of Ten Thousand Souls Valley is not the same as the head of those sects.
If the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls is compared to a city, the status of the Valley Lord of Ten Thousand Souls Valley in the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls is equivalent to that of the City Lord.
Squinting his eyes, Lin Yue made a decision in his heart.
Back to Shunxin Building again.
After glancing at it and walking away for a while, no one took the Aoki faction's bounty task, Lin Yue chose another one-star six-grade killing weird task.
…
Time flies.
More than ten days have passed.
These days, Lin Yue has been paying attention to the reward task of the Aoki faction, although there are people who take it, but there are not many.
More than ten days have passed, and there are still six bounties left in the task bar of that star and six products.
At this time, Lin Yue had successfully broken through the seventh level of the Qi Refining Period and stepped into the eighth level of the Qi Refining Period.
…
Get out of the backyard.
The information on the jade plate has been changed again.
Lin Yue came to the task bar of one star and seven products, and glanced at it, there was also a reward notice from the Aoki faction here, and there were still six places.
Obviously, the pick-up situation is not much different from that of one star and six products.
However, this bounty notice has not been withdrawn yet, and it seems that this Aoki faction also has some strength.
You know, if the owner is gone, the reward notice will generally be withdrawn.
As for the task remuneration paid in advance, whether Shunxinlou will be returned to the inheritor of the gold owner is up for debate.
…
Retract your thoughts.
Lin Yue began to browse through the other bounty tasks.
It has been nearly a month since he came to Shunxin Building, and at this time, Lin Yue not only broke through two small realms in the cultivation realm, but also greatly transformed his whole person.
Now, the crimson of blood has not only stained his hands, but has even begun to seep into his bone marrow...
Soon.
Lin Yue's gaze fell on an ordinary killing task.
Only taking on a task that is one level lower than one's own cultivation realm is not only because the mission target is easier to kill...
····
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, another twenty days passed.
When Lin Yue returned to the mission hall again, the aura on his body was already very different from when he first came to Shunxin Building more than a month ago.
For nearly two months, only Lin Yue knew what he had experienced.
Only he knows how many lives have ended under his hands during this time.
However, even so, his cultivation realm still did not enter the ninth level of the Qi Refining Period as he expected.
With the improvement of the cultivation realm, the speed of this improvement also began to slow down.
If he wants to break through the current cultivation realm, Lin Yue conservatively estimates that it will take more than ten days.
This made Lin Yue couldn't help frowning slightly.
Looking at the one-star eight-rank task bar, there was only one reward notice left, Lin Yue squinted.
Then his eyes lit up, and he motioned for the maid to take it down.
…
…
In the entire Xijing, Lei Jianmen is the strongest.
However, under the Thunder Sword Sect, there are still many small forces and sects, relying on their own characteristic advantages, they are also thriving in a small area.
Aoki pie.
It is more than 300 miles away from Yongxing City, located on Qingyun Mountain, starting from the refining of pills and pharmacists, within a radius of 100 miles, it is also a little famous.
Many small sects and small forces often come to seek medical treatment if they have some injuries in the struggle.
Many sects and small forces that are not good at alchemy are frequent visitors to the Aoki faction.
The Aoki faction relied on good alchemy skills and pharmacist inheritance, and it thrived in this area.
However, the Aoki faction has really not had a good time recently.
The young master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, with some minions, came to trouble the Aoki faction when he had nothing to do.
This not only made the Aoki faction annoyed by being harassed, but even those small sects who wanted to come to the door were also blocked.
The income of the Aoki faction can be said to have fallen off a cliff during this time.
Although relying on savings, it can still support for a short time, but it is naturally difficult to support it in the long run.
It's just that the Aoki faction also has a bit of a headache right now.
Those who can ask for help have basically asked for help, and the bounty task of Shunxin Building has also been released.
It's just that the response has been sparse.
There's no way, in this land of Xijing, as long as a monk with a little experience, when he hears the name of Ten Thousand Souls Valley, who can not frown?
Even the Thunder Sword Sect has no way to take the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, so it can only do well water instead of river water.
Not to mention those small sects and small forces, they are naturally able to hide and stay away.
After all, without the Aoki Pie, there would be no place to buy pills and ask a pharmacist to heal his wounds.
In this case, the Aoki faction could only give up a lot of spiritual fields, defend the mountain gate, and rely on the mountain gate formation as the basis to narrow its defensive range.
…
Under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Two waves of monks were fighting, and the streamers brought by spells and magic weapons splashed in all directions in the sound of the exchange, embellishing a little bit of crystal, making the picture a little beautiful.
Pedal stomp~!
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves, from far to near, fell into the ears of the monks on both sides of the war.
"Huh~~!"
As the sound of the horse's hooves stopped, a figure pulled the reins, and on the periphery of the battleground, the veteran stabilized the horse's body.
The raised front hooves bring up a cloud of dust.
