Wangshu Mansion City.

There is a mountain called Qiliu Mountain in the suburbs for 200 miles, which is the foundation of the Qi family of the foundation family, with a second-order high-grade spiritual vein, and the three major foundation building monks are in charge, and the ancestor Qi Chunshen of the clan is the monk at the peak of the foundation building.

It is said that Qi Laozu was approaching the limit, but when he went out to look for the golden pill, he got a life-extending elixir and successfully extended his life for 20 years.

Three years ago, Qi Laozu returned to the family, claiming that Jindan was hard to find, and he didn't want to waste the last 20 years.

So he founded a pension organization called the Flower and Bird Society, and invited Taoist friends who were good at flowers and birds to communicate with each other on weekdays, and indulged in the mountains and rivers, which was also regarded as chatting to get by.

However, the entry threshold of the Flower and Bird Society is quite high, and they are all old monks who have no hope of a future like Qi Old Ancestor.

After three years of development, the Flower and Bird Club has more than a dozen members of the Zhuji Society, all of whom are the elderly members of the nearby Zhuji family.

Among them, there are many peak monks who are equal to the cultivation of Qi Old Ancestor.

this day.

On a barren mountain with beautiful scenery,

An elegant banquet with flowing water has just ended.

The old monks who built the foundation put away the state of wandering, or hugged the qin, or collected the flute, or drove the crane, said goodbye to all the colleagues, and drifted away, like the old gods in the mountains.

Only two old monks with deep breaths remained, gathered in a stone pavilion.

Qi Chunshen was among them.

"Zeng Daoyou, you have a letter about asking the old man to inquire."

"Is the Datong Society real?"

Sitting next to Qi Chunshen was an elderly monk wearing a blue man's suit, like an old rich man, with sparse and gray hair, but he was quite neat and clean, obviously a person who valued the quality of life.

The old monk's name is Zeng An, a casual cultivator, penance for 120 years, and finally cultivated to the peak of the foundation.

However, it is so difficult for Sanxiu to take a step forward and break through the Jindan realm.

He spent thirty years on the pinnacle of building the foundation, but it was still difficult to get a glimpse of Jindan's chance, so he found a foundation family to rely on for the elderly, and he was quite leisurely on weekdays.

Until Qi Chunshen suddenly started a flower and bird club, he reluctantly joined it because of the invitation of his friends.

I plan to come a few times casually, deal with it, and kill some time.

Unexpectedly, an accident made him discover the true face of the Flower and Bird Society, it turned out that Qi Chunshen, the president of the Flower and Bird Society, went out to get a chance to extend his life, and this opportunity came from a mysterious organization for the Datong Society.

Even the legend of the Datong Society loves the world, and has given the golden pill to the destined people many times, even an old monk like him with a hopeless future can have the opportunity to get it.

This made Zeng An interested in the activities of the Flower and Bird Club.

After his deliberate friendship, President Qi finally relieved himself and agreed to help him inquire, thinking that the opportunity to break through the golden pill fell from the sky, he really couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Qi Chunshen looked at Zeng An who couldn't wait to stick his head over and be slaughtered, and also sighed secretly.

He wasn't like that back then.

As soon as he heard the blue wolf Daoist say that he had the opportunity to break through the Jindan realm, he didn't care about anything, and swore that he was willing to pay anything.

In the end, although he broke through and extended his life for 200 years, he was free to live in the hands of others.

After careful consideration, I don't know whether it is a gain or a loss.

However, this emotion was quickly suppressed by him.

No matter what, it's your own choice, so there's no need to complain.

He coughed lightly and said in a very reluctant tone:

"Zeng Daoyou, I only want to tell you about this matter, you must not tell others, otherwise the old man is afraid that he will be trampled here."

Zeng An nodded again and again: "President Qi, don't worry, I haven't even told my apprentice about this." ”

He devoted himself to penance, never married, and his family had already died when he was young, but there were still some great-nephews, descendants of great-great-nephews, but they had no concern for him.

The closest thing he is to now is the apprentice who has been accepted for the elderly, and even the apprentice is hidden, so he can think of his secrets.

Qi Chunshen nodded and said, "In this way, the old man will be relieved." ”

In fact, he wished that Zeng Daoyou would secretly promote more for him, but in order to maintain mystery and class, these words still had to be reminded every time.

"First of all, the old man would like to congratulate Zeng Daoyou. Because the Datong Association is in urgent need of manpower, as soon as I talked about Zeng Daoyou's affairs at the meeting, I promised the old man that it would not be long before someone would be sent to investigate.

If Tsang meets the requirements, he can apply for membership.

And once the membership is confirmed, you can get a golden pill opportunity, as far as the old man knows, the probability of breakthrough is more than eighty percent. ”

Zeng An was overjoyed.

He originally thought that the so-called golden pill chance was also a knot pill spirit object, which could increase the chance of breakthrough by one or two percent, which was amazing.

I didn't expect it to be an 80% chance.

Could it be......

Some of the most widely circulated secret methods of the Devil's Path flashed through his mind.

When he didn't have a breakthrough back then, he was also ruthless together, wanting to find the secret method of the Demon Dao to break through the golden pill, even if the means were cruel.

As a result, he was very sad to find that even the secret method of the Demon Dao, which was known as inhumane and angry, involved the Jindan level, and it was not something that ordinary people could find.

Without that relationship and fate, he just wanted to betray his conscience and had no chance.

"President Qi, I don't know when the envoy will come over, so the old man should prepare earlier."

Qi Chunshen smiled faintly: "Zeng Daoyou, the investigation is the investigation, I don't know when the person will come, maybe he has already come before I talk to Daoyou, and now the inspection is not certain." ”

"After all, it's a golden pill opportunity, don't worry, although there is an urgent need for manpower in the meeting, not everyone has to accept it."

"Yes, yes." Zeng An nodded again and again, "It's me Meng Lang." ”

It's just that he hasn't calmed down for a while, and he can't help but ask:

"President Qi, you are so familiar with the Datong Society, why don't you see that the Datong Society will give you a golden pill?"

Qi Chunshen sighed, and instead asked another question.

"Zeng Daoyou, do you really believe that there will be a great harmony in the world that will help each other like this, and everyone will be my organization?"

Zeng An was stunned, and his face gradually became difficult to see.

"President Qi means that the matter of the Datong Association is to lie to the old man?"

Qi Chunshen shook his head: "No, the Datong Society naturally does exist.

It's just that the old man wants to tell Zeng Daoyou that there is no good thing in the world to drop pies, and how precious a golden pill is to get it, if you want to get it, you must pay an unbearable price. ”

Zeng An smiled and said, "What did I think it was?" The old man has been practicing for so many years, and he no longer believes in any free lunch, if there is really such a selfless organization, the old man will have to worry about whether there is fraud.

It turned out that there was a price to pay, but the old man was relieved.

The old man has less than twenty years of life left, and if he doesn't dare to fight for it, he will practice this life in vain.

What is the unbearable price?

As long as it's not the old man's life, any price can be bearable. ”

Qi Chunshen smiled bitterly: "It's still Zeng Daoyou who can see it through, since that's the case, Daoyou can wait with peace of mind."

At most half a month, whether the Taoist friend can be selected or not, the old man will be notified during the meeting. ”

Zeng Anxin stood up with satisfaction and thanked Qi Chunshen.

"When the old man joins the Datong Association, he will definitely bring a heavy gift to thank the president."

"I'm waiting for the good news from Zeng Daoyou."

Qi Chunshen returned the gift.

Until Zeng An left, Qi Chunshen was still sitting in place, thinking in his heart about the merits of introducing Zeng An's joining the club, plus the merit points he had saved, when would he be able to make up a thousand merit points.

"Let's hope he lives a little longer."

According to the newly added rules of the Romana.

He introduces the members who join the club, and each member will give him a reward of ten merit points.

In addition, before a new member becomes a full member, one-tenth of the merit points obtained after completing each task will become his reward.

In other words, theoretically, he introduced ten members to the association, and when all ten of them became full members, then he could regain his freedom while lying down.

However, it is far from that simple.

Because man dies.

He returned to the Qi family for more than three years, openly and secretly introduced eight people to join the meeting, and was selected by five people in the meeting.

All five of them successfully broke through to become false Dan monks and became reserve members of the Datong Society.

But in just three years, one of the five has already died in the demon hunt.

As the demon kings of the third order of the Jinpeng Demon Vein were hunted down one by one, their hunting environment became more and more severe.

After all, the other demon kings are not stupid, and the disappearance of a few demon kings at the beginning can still be regarded as cannibalism, the replacement of the old and new demon kings.

This happens almost every once in a while.

But as the demon kings disappeared more and more, even if there was a large array covering the sky and the earth, the other demon kings also found that something was wrong.

The demon king has wisdom that is not inferior to that of people, but the environment in which they live on weekdays makes them accustomed to the laws of the primeval jungle and accustomed to speaking with their muscles.

When they wield their wisdom, it's their nightmare.

Qi Chunshen still remembers that he has been hunting demons in the Jinpeng Demon Vein for four years.

At the beginning, it was to apply for the assistance of the Blue Wolf Daoist and the Violent Ape Daoist, supplemented by a large array that covered the sky and the earth, and hunted the demon king of the third order, which can be described as invincible, and he could gain a lot afterwards.

However, he knew that hunting the demon king was dancing on the tip of the knife.

Therefore, every time he chooses a hunting target, he is cautious, and he is sure that he is a third-order lower-order demon king who is easy to bully, and it is best to dare to make a move only if he has not broken through for a short time.

So don't look at the real battle with the demon king for a short time, but the preliminary preparations, investigation of intelligence, etc., all need to be ambushed nearby for more than half a year.

Safety first.

He passed two years smoothly and successfully hunted the two demon kings, and the old turtle Taoist friend who was also a newcomer to him also had the same record.

The two-headed demon king, each worth a hundred merits, but in fact, the real harvest is only one meritorious service, and the cost is ninety-nine meritorious merits.

Fortunately, the Demon King's collection is not bad, and every loot exchange can bring hundreds of meritorious gains.

But these spoils of war are also to be shared with the Taoist friends who come to help.

Therefore, the success of the two missions brought him more than 100 meritorious points.

So later, when the old turtle Taoist friend found him and was ready to work together, he didn't think about it for long before agreeing.

In this way, neither of them needs to invite other people to assist, and it is enough to apply for the Great Array once, and the cost is greatly reduced.

In the next two years, he cooperated with the old turtle Daoyou, and with the help of the Great Array that covered the sky and the earth, he hunted a total of two demon kings, both of whom were third-order lower grades.

But the merit points harvested are more than 200.

He was confident that at the current pace, he would be able to regain his freedom in less than ten years.

As a result, the dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

When they hunted the demon king again, they were ambushed by the demon king - two demon kings suddenly came out of the cave, and one of them was still a third-order middle-grade old demon king.

If it weren't for the silence when the Great Array of Covering the Heavens and the Earth was launched, it was powerful enough to be used as a Jindan monk, and the turtle shell magic weapon in the hands of the old turtle Taoist friend could be used to avoid evil, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

It's just that afterwards, in order to compensate for the array that was damaged by the Demon King, the two of them each compensated for fifty meritorious deeds, which can be said to be a loss to their grandmother's family.

He thought it was an accident.

It wasn't until the old turtle friend reminded him that he realized that there were suddenly more preparatory members of the Datong Association in the Jinpeng demon vein.

They are also cooperating with each other, hunting the demon king with the help of the power of the Great Array.

The addition of competitors made it even more difficult for them to hunt down the Demon King, and they had to gather more False Dan Monks to do a mission.

The hunting mission that could have been completed by two False Dan Monks now has to reach four to ensure their safety.

However, this is not unacceptable.

It's just that the accumulation of merit has changed from ten years to twenty years.

Until that day.

They finally finished negotiating and were ready to take a new demon king.

A third-order high-grade demon king was ambushed outside the Demon King's Cave Mansion.

Before they had time to set up the formation, they saw the demon king come out, and these fake Dan monks were not enemies at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he happened to be in charge of controlling the array and quickly opening the Great Array to cover the sky and the earth to hide himself, he would probably have died under the Demon King.

Yesterday, they fought side by side, and their companions who were intriguing for a few merits in private died at the hands of the demon king, and they didn't even leave two last words.

He was scared.

No matter how old the origin of this Datong Guild is, and how powerful the masters in the guild are, these fake Dan monks who are called reserve members are obviously cannon fodder characters in the eyes of others.

So Qi Chunshen no longer dared to hunt the demon king.

Follow the rules of the meeting.

For each task completed, there is a year of rest.

He completed two missions independently, and cooperated with the old turtle Taoist to complete two missions, for a total of three years of rest.

Once the rest time is over, you need to pay a task late fee to the meeting every year, with ten meritorious services in the first year, twenty meritorious services in the second year, and so on.

Late fees cannot be recalculated until a task is completed.

Once the merit is insufficient and the task is not completed, then it will be the end of the soul.

Qi Chunshen has been back for three years, and the rest time has run out, and from the next year, he will start paying late fees.

However, Qi Chunshen thinks he has found a loophole in this rule.

As long as he keeps introducing new members to the club, he will continue to get merit points, and even earn money.

When he was in the tenth year, he would buy a third-order demon pill at his own expense and give it to the guild, so not only could he rest for an extra year, but the late fee could be recalculated.

Anyway, the meeting only asked for the demon pill, but it didn't say that it must be a fresh demon pill.

So his costs can be greatly reduced.

Theoretically, he could accumulate a thousand feats without risking his life.

Or, in other words, he directly earned 10 million spirit stones, and he could break away from the Datong Society by buying ten third-order demon pills.

So while trying his best to find suitable members for the association, he began to store spirit stones, even at the expense of revealing part of his identity.

How did Zeng An know about his relationship with the Datong Society, wasn't he the one who took the initiative to expose.

Although he knew that doing so would bring a certain risk to the family, for the sake of his ancestor's freedom, this risk was unavoidable.

Qi Chunshen looked at the sea of trees in the distance, the wind was blowing, and there was a rustling sound in the mountain, like the whispering of the mountain god.

He sighed faintly.

If he hadn't met the Blue Wolf Daoist that day, and hadn't agreed to join the Datong Association so hastily, then he would ......

"I guess I'll regret it." Qi Chunshen laughed at himself, "This is Jin Dan." ”

"And...... Four hundred and twenty-six, this is the merit point I have accumulated now, as long as I pull enough people, I will definitely be able to save enough, within a hundred years, it may not be impossible to regain freedom. ”
