Chapter 20: Akatsuka
"I've finally broken through!" Lin Ming jumped up with excitement after learning about his current cultivation.
"Isn't it just that you have broken through to the triple level of the Qi Refining Stage...... What is there to be excited about. Jin Ming said disdainfully.
"You don't understand. Lin Ming said with a smile, "Three years ago, I entered the Guiyun Sect and was originally known as a genius. But because of you, I haven't been able to enter the inner door for three years...... And in the inner door assessment, Qin Yu, who was defeated by you, was the third level of the Qi refining period. ”
"Is there any connection between this?" said Jin Ming who didn't quite understand what you humans were thinking.
"This means that I can defeat Qin Yu by my own strength, not by your strength. Therefore, this realm has a special meaning for me. Lin Ming explained.
"Tsk...... Isn't it good to kill such a thing as an enemy?" Jin Ming said, "No matter what method he uses, as long as he kills it, there will be no problem, and the dead will not come to you to theorize about fairness." ”
"What you said does make sense, but ......" Lin Ming thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, this is the difference between my philosophy and yours." For me, do-it-yourself things have a special meaning. ”
"I really don't understand you......" Jin Ming shook his head, "By the way, this time you broke through successfully, Jin Shi accounted for a large part of the credit, if it weren't for it, I'm afraid you would still be wandering in the Qi refining period." ”
"Jin Shi helped me?" This was something Lin Ming didn't expect, originally he thought that in order to make Jin Ming's transaction fail, he would do everything possible to stop him.
"yes, that guy, like me, sees some kind of possibility in you. Jin Ming said, but didn't say what the possibility was.
"Oh......" Lin Ming thought for a while, but he didn't come up with anything.
"One more thing, someone came to you when you were in retreat, but I saw that you were still cultivating, so I didn't bother you. Jin Ming said.
"Someone is looking for me?who?" Lin Ming was a little curious, there were not many inner disciples he knew, except for Luo Feng and Li Yuyi's sisters, but these people should have no reason to come to him at such a time.
"It's the kid surnamed Qin. Jin Ming replied.
"Could it be Qin Yu? No, no, he should still be hiding at home to recuperate at this time...... So, is it his fourth brother Qin Yan?"
"That's right, it's him. Jin Ming nodded, "It's just that I don't understand why he came to you." ”
"Why?"
"Well, the guy said that if you break through after the retreat, you can go to him. He has a task at hand that happens to be short of people, and because the pay is good, he came to you. Jin Ming said, listening to its somewhat confused tone, obviously not understanding what Qin Yan meant by this.
"Take me to complete the task?" It sounds like a senior brother taking a junior to do an internship, but why would he do this?" Lin Ming touched Lemo's chin, "Forget it, no matter what you have or not, I just need to continue to cultivate." ”
At this time, a head stuck into the door, Lin Ming felt that the face was a little familiar, and after taking a closer look, he realized that it was the boy who brought him here.
“...... He's still there. Seeing Lin Ming looking at him blankly, the boy quickly retracted his head, and then whispered to someone outside the door.
"Oh, hey, Brother Lin, I've been waiting for you for a long time......" Qin Yan walked in with a spring breeze on his face, he glanced around, frowned and said, "I said Brother Lin, your mansion is too simple, isn't it? It's not like the place where the young master of the Lin family should live, I'll call someone to help you tidy up tomorrow." ”
"Senior Brother Qin's kindness, I understand it. It's just that the purpose of my coming here is to cultivate, not to enjoy, and Senior Brother doesn't have to stir up the crowd. Lin Ming replied lightly.
"Really...... However, although cultivation is important, proper training is also needed...... Isn't it?" Qin Yan said with a smile, and Lin Ming realized that he had been tricked by Qin Yan.
Seeing that Lin Ming was silent, Qin Yan said, "I just have a task with good pay, but there is no way, there is one less person on our side, I think about it...... Or is Brother Lin the most suitable, what do you say?"
As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Qin Yan invited him so lowly, if there is no valid reason, it is really difficult to refuse someone.
“...... What is the reward for the mission?" asked Lin Ming.
"One hundred and fifty pieces of Juyuan Stone, as well as an exclusive weapon created by Qi Yuxuan himself. Qin Yan smiled and said this incomparably amazing reward.
"Exclusive weapon!?" Lin Ming showed a look of surprise, "Although that kind of thing is a bit precious, but I am only in the third level of the Qi refining period now, and it is a bit of a waste to use the exclusive weapon." ”
"Oh, you don't have to worry about this, it is said that Qi Yuxuan has researched an exclusive weapon for growth, and it can even be used all the way to the Shattered Vein Realm. Qin Yan seemed to have expected this question for a long time, and explained with a smile.
“...... There are quirks. Lin Ming said in the sea of knowledge, "With such a high reward, there is no need for him Qin Yan to find me as a cultivator in the threefold Qi refining period to complete it, with his connections, he can invite others, which will not only have a greater grasp of success, but also make that person owe him a favor." ”
"He clearly had bad intentions. Jin Ming replied, "But you might as well promise him." ”
"Why?"
"Because cultivation is always accompanied by danger and opportunity...... And I'm here. Jin Ming smiled.
"Are you sure you can keep me in his hands? Lin Ming was a little skeptical.
"Rest assured, I had everything ready when he first came to you. Jin Ming replied confidently.
"Since Senior Brother Qin is so graciously invited, then I will be disrespectful. A smile appeared on Lin Ming's face, "So, when are we leaving?"
"Don't worry about it for now, we'll be leaving in about seven days. Qin Yan replied, "As for where you are going then, you will naturally know that day." ”
"Do you have to wait until that day to reveal?" Lin Ming looked embarrassed, "I mean, if I can know the location earlier, I can make more preparations." ”
"That's the case...... Qin Yan pondered for a while and replied, "Okay, the location of our mission this time is in the Immortal Forest, and the target is ......"
"Look for Akatsuka. ”
"What is Akatsuka, what is Akatsuka?" Lin Ming asked suspiciously, but Jin Ming had already shouted angrily: "Akatsuka, they are going to rob the Red Emperor's tomb!"
"What?" Lin Ming was taken aback.
"The Red Emperor fought against the Emperor of Heaven, and was defeated, and the Yuan God turned into nine golden crows and fled, but his body was divided into countless pieces by the Emperor of Heaven and buried all over the world...... And these places where the body of the Red Emperor is buried are the Red Mound. Jin Ming said coldly, "These guys are so bold, they actually want to go there!"
