Chapter 17: Water Cut

"Senior Brother Yuan, but you have succeeded in building a foundation?" Liu Han asked with some uncertainty.

Yuan Qing smiled slightly and did not answer, and as soon as his mind moved, a silver glittering shield suddenly appeared, and if he looked closely, it was actually a layer of fine sword qi intertwined with each other.

Seeing this, Liu Han was full of suspicions, and arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Ning Yuan for building a foundation, and since then he has escaped from the mortal world and entered the Immortal Gate!"

Yuan Qing put away the body protection sword and arched his hand and said: "Thank you, senior brother, if there is no senior brother first, Yuan Qing may not be able to advance to build the foundation so smoothly." "Say it to the end.

Liu Han hurriedly helped him up and said, "The previous related matters were just responsibilities, and the junior brother didn't have to take it to heart. ”

Yuan Qing thanked him again, and then asked, "By the way, Senior Brother does you know where Senior Brother Xu is now?"

Liu Han was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a gentle laugh: "Haha, it's really as I expected." But I saw a green rainbow coming from the sky, the rainbow light dissipated, and a person appeared, with a smile on his face like a spring breeze, it was Xu Jingtian.

"Senior Brother Xu. The two of them saluted together.

After Xu Jingtian returned the salute, he looked Yuan Qing up and down, and Yuan Qing also meditated on this well-related "Grandpa Xu" for the first time, and the two fell into a subtle silence for a while.

Yuan Qing only felt that the gentle Taoist aura in front of him was like an abyss and a sea, but the spiritual pressure was looming, and his divine sense was like a mud cow entering the water, and he couldn't set off the slightest wave.

On the other side, Xu Jingtian's eyes were gloomy, and the expression on his face was very gratifying, and he suddenly felt a sharp divine sense and body, and he explored it a little arrogantly. Xu Jingtian's heart moved, and his body immediately became gloomy and wandering, and his divine sense swept around helplessly.

"Yuan Qing, spying on other people's cultivation with divine thoughts will be regarded as a provocation, and I can't say that Senior Brother will measure your divine powers today. Xu Jingtian pretended to be serious and said.

Yuan Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down to apologize: "Yuan Qing didn't know before, Senior Brother Xu is not strange." ”

Xu Jingtian smiled, waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "Those who don't know are not guilty, in the future, you should keep in mind when you walk in the cultivation world, not all monks are like my Xuanyuan disciples, and there are many people who want to make money and kill people and seize treasures, and it is not uncommon for them to fight until they don't stop dying; The world of cultivation is far more cruel than the world. ”

Liu Han nodded and agreed: "As the saying goes, I don't want to hurt the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's hearts." ”

Yuan Qing bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Thank you for the teachings of the two senior brothers, Yuan Qing will keep it in mind." ”

Xu Jingtian calmly accepted the salute, and then asked: "Since you have built a foundation, you should stay in the sect and practice hard, will there be unfinished business in the next sect?"

Yuan Qing replied without thinking: "Everything has been arranged." I haven't invited my brother yet, where is Zhu Ling'er now?"

"I don't know where Zhu Ling'er is now, but you can ask the senior brother on duty when you choose the cave mansion. Then Xu Jingtian slightly arched his hand and said to Liu Han: "Senior Brother Liu, I'll leave now." ”

"Senior brother, let's go. Liu Han replied.

Yuan Qing also saluted and said: "Senior brother's encouragement Yuan Qing Ming's sense of five, he will have a good time with his senior brother one day." ”

"Hahaha, junior brother, don't forget, I, Liu, am not good at drinking!"

Yuan Qing was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Senior brother, farewell!" After speaking, he and Xu Jingtian got on the flying boat, turned into a rainbow, and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.

The two of them headed east, skimming over Falling Star Lake, then south, and finally landing on a small peak. On the top of this mountain, there is a circular square of a hundred zhang square, there is a hall on the east and west sides of the square, and the words "consul" and "spiritual house" are written on the plaque respectively with gilding.

Xu Jingtian took Yuan Qing straight to the "Consular Palace" on the east side, and a monk in a green robe saw Xu Jingtian coming here, and hurriedly got up from his couch to greet him.

"I've seen Senior Brother Xu, I don't know what Senior Brother has ordered when he came this time?"

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Li Yang on duty. This trip is to bring this new junior disciple to register and make a register, and I will be entangled in secular affairs in the next sect, and the follow-up matters will be handed over to the junior disciple. ”

Yuan Qing looked at this Senior Brother Li on the side, and saw that he had a Chinese face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beard, which looked like a rather bold man.

"Follow my brother's order. Li Yang's expression was solemn after hearing this, and he saluted respectfully.

Xu Jingtian turned slightly sideways and said to Yuan Qing: "This is Senior Brother Li Yang, he is from the same country as you, if there is anything unclear, you can ask him." ”

"Yes," Yuan Qing replied and turned to Li Yang and said, "I'm tired of Senior Brother Li." ”

Li Yang laughed and replied: "Since we are in the same country and are practicing in the same discipline, it is right to help each other, where is there nothing to worry about." ”

Seeing this, Xu Jingtian smiled slightly and said, "Yuan Qing, give me the token." ”

Yuan Qing took out the formation order and handed it to Xu Jingtian according to his words, and the latter put away the token and said, "So I will take the first step." ”

After speaking, he arched his hand, and turned into a green rainbow and broke through the air.

Yuan Qing and the others also bowed and returned the salute, and then Li Yang asked while introducing Yuan Qing into the hall, "I don't know where my junior brother's hometown is?"

"Chang'an, what about you, senior brother?"

"It turned out that I was from Chang'an, and I came from a small village on the border, called Lijia Village, and my ancestors had been hunters for generations. ”

"I don't know how many years my senior brother has been cultivating, have you ever gone back to visit during this period?"

"I went up the mountain at the age of ten, and it took me twenty years to build the foundation, and then twenty years to the peak of the early days of the foundation, and now it has been forty years. I see that the junior brother is not very old, and he must have extraordinary qualifications, and the golden pill can be expected. ”

"Senior brother is joking, he has just built the foundation now, and his eyes are black, how can he talk about Jindan. ”

While speaking, the two had arrived in the hall, Li Yang asked Yuan Qing to sit down in front of the bookcase, and he sat opposite him, and then he took out a jade book, the cover was engraved with the word "Xuanyuan" in a gold seal, but it was blank

Li Yang turned the jade album to a certain page and stopped, and then said to Yuan Qing: "Please also ask the junior brother to drip the essence blood on it." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Qing stretched out the palm of his left hand, and at the same time stretched out his right index finger and slashed into the void, a small sword qi slashed through the left index finger, and then forced out a drop of crimson blood and dripped it on the jade book.

The essence blood was absorbed and disappeared in an instant when it landed on the jade book, and then the two crimson characters disappeared in a flash. At the same time, a line of gilded small characters appeared on the same jade album on the table in the main peak lobby, "Yuan Qing, foundation building period, Jiuling sword body ......"

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Yuan Qing, this is the identity certificate of Xuanyuan disciple," he said, taking out a black gold token and handing it to Yuan Qing, which was exactly the same as the one Xu Jingtian had taken out.

"After this order is dripping blood and recognizing the master, the identity information of the master will be recorded, and in the future, whether it is to receive offerings every month or go to the merit hall to receive tasks to earn merit points, or even to trade heaven and earth treasures with merit points between the same door. ”

"Merit points, enshrinements, tasks?" Yuan Qing was puzzled by this series of "new words".

Li Yang smiled and explained: "Disciples in the foundation building period of the sect need to complete the sect task at least once a year, and the disciples in the Jindan period are once every ten years. Merit points can be exchanged for heavenly and earthly treasures, martial arts secret arts, pill treasures, and you can also ask the senior brothers of the refining peak or medicine valley to cast alchemy for you, if you have enough merit points, you can even ask the elders above the infancy stage to guide you to cultivate for supernatural powers. As for the offerings, monks in the foundation building period can come here every month to receive a medium-grade spirit stone, and monks in the Dan period can receive a high-grade spirit stone every month, with attributes of their choice, and new disciples can receive an additional medium-grade magic weapon, twelve merit points, a medium-grade spirit stone, and a copy of "Xuanyuan General Knowledge". As he spoke, he handed over a small gray bag, "Here is a piece of gold and fire spirit stones, and the rules of the Xuanyuan Gate and the history of this continent are explained in the general knowledge, and I also ask the junior brother to put it away." ”

Yuan Qingdao took the storage bag after thanking him, and his divine sense looked inward, and found that the inner space was much larger than the one in the next sect, but it was still worse than the one given by his grandfather, and two spirit stones and a dark blue book were lying quietly inside.

After putting it away with the token, Yuan Qing asked, "Dare to ask Senior Brother, I don't know where to get the magic weapon?"

Li Yang seemed to have expected it, and said as he got up and looked outside: "Naturally, I went to the Hall of Merit." ”

Yuan Qing followed Li Yang to the outside of the hall, and saw him wave his hand and release a black and white chessboard, which was no more than the size of a palm at first.

"Senior Brother Yuan, if you have nothing to do, I'll take you for a ride. After speaking, he took the lead in standing on the chessboard, and Yuan Qing did not twist it, and thanked him.

When he stood still, Li Yang raised his hand to play a trick, and the chessboard shook and flew through the air.

The two of them made their way northwest, crossed mountains, and finally landed on a misty platform.

Yuan Qing followed Li Yang along the white jade plank road all the way, and after seven turns and eight turns, he came to a wide square, on which there were three large halls, not a monk came out of it, released the initiator and broke through the air.

Li Yang led Yuan Qing straight to the main hall on the left, and when he entered it, he saw a wide jade bi lying in the middle, densely engraved with small characters on it, and there were three or two monks standing in front of the wall in contemplation.

Li Yang ignored it and led Yuan Qing to walk inward around the jade bi.

"Senior Brother Li, you are not on duty in the consular hall, why do you have time to come to me? This senior brother looked at the face student, I don't know what it is?" A monk in a yellow robe smiled when he saw the two of them, and got up to greet each other.

This person has a square face, the same thick eyebrows and big eyes, and at first glance he is somewhat similar to Li Yang.

"Senior Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time. The main reason for coming this time was to exchange for a bottle of Huang Yuandan, and by the way, to bring the new junior disciples to receive magic weapons and merits. Saying that, he turned sideways and said to Yuan Qing: "This is Senior Brother Wang Hao, but he is my best friend, you don't have to be polite with him." ”

Yuan Qing took a step forward when he heard this, saluted and said, "Yuan Qing has seen Senior Brother Wang. ”

Wang Hao bowed his hand and said: "Since Senior Brother Li brought it, it is his own person, and Senior Brother Yuan can only open his mouth if he needs anything." Brother Li, you can do it yourself, I will take my junior brother to the back hall. ”

Li Yang waved his hand and turned around and walked to the jade bi, took out the token and shook it, and a slender light hit a small line on the wall, and then the space blurred, and an apricot yellow vial turned from virtual to real and fell on his hand.

Li Yang solemnly put it away, glanced at the back hall, and after a little thought, he went directly out of the palace gate, released the chessboard and went away.

Yuan Qing followed Wang Hao to a stone wall in the back hall, took out a silver token and waved it, and the stone wall blurred for a while, revealing the dark room in the future. There is a lot of space in it, rows of wooden shelves are neatly placed, and there are spherical transparent air hoods floating on them, and there are many items in it, including blades and armor, clothes and streamers, and even inkstone dice, all of which are delicate and small.

Wang Hao led it to the last row of shelves and said: "This row of shelves is full of medium-grade magic weapons, which are equipped for offense and defense, as well as auxiliary magic weapons for flying and gathering qi, and the junior and junior can choose as much as they can." ”

Yuan Qing didn't take action, but just thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Dare to ask Senior Brother Wang, how much merit does a superb magic weapon need?"

Wang Hao didn't expect Yuan Qing to ask such a question, so he was stunned for a moment and replied: "The best magic weapons are all one hundred merits, the defense class is more expensive, and there are also three or four hundred merits with special magical powers." Senior brother, do you want to change to a top-notch magic weapon?"

Yuan Qing nodded and said, "Yes, I just want to change to a top-grade sword." ”

Wang Hao thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, there is a metallic superb sword weapon here, called Broken Water, which is extremely sharp. ”

As he spoke, he took Yuan Qing to the left of the third row, and saw a small snow-white sword quietly suspended in a gas cover.

Wang Hao took out the silver token and swept it, and then said to Yuan Qing: "This sword needs one hundred and fifty merits, junior brother ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Qing and said, "Senior brother, how much is a medium-grade magic weapon worth? In addition, I still have two medium-grade spirit stones, which may be exchanged for merit?"

Wang Hao smiled when he heard it and said: "All medium-grade magic weapons handed over to the sect will have ten merits, and a medium-grade spirit stone is worth one hundred merits." The junior brother can go to the middle hall to find Senior Brother Zhao Heng to receive the entry merit, and the right hall can find Senior Brother Qian Weijie to exchange it for spirit stone treasures. ”

"Thank you, senior brother, Yuan Qing will go back when he goes. With that, he bowed his hand and walked away quickly.

Wang Hao shook his head with a smile after he left, and said to himself: "What an emergency." ”

About half an hour later, Yuan Qing returned to the dark room and said to Wang Hao: "Senior Brother Lao has waited for a long time, and his merits are enough. ”

Wang Hao made a gesture of "please", Yuan Qing did not hesitate, took out the token and swiped it in the air, the air cover broke like foam, the small sword came straight towards Yuan Qing, circled around it a few times, and a clear sound turned into a three-foot long sword that was caught in Yuan Qing's hand.

Yuan Qing stretched out two fingers and stroked the sword body, the sword roared, and then put the sword into the storage bag in his sleeve.

"Thank you, senior brother, Yuan Qing will leave. Yuan Qing was about to leave as soon as he gave up his hand.

"Senior Brother Yuan, you still have a medium-grade magic weapon that you haven't chosen, why are you so impatient?" Wang Hao was stunned for a moment and persuaded him.

"Hahaha, this sword is enough, this medium-grade magic weapon will have time to ask for it from my senior brother in the future. He strode away without looking back, leaving Wang Hao with a helpless face.

Out of the palace gate to the square, Yuan Qing summoned the Broken Water Sword to float in front of him, and the silver light flashed around his body, only to see the Broken Water Sword shook all over, and let out a crisp sword sound, and then the sword light burst out, wrapping Yuan Qing straight towards the Qing Ming, leaving only the sound of the sword roaring lingering.
