Chapter 51: The Storm
Guo Yang walked out of Mr. Iron's Sumeru space, and was surprised to find that he and Mr. Ironware had been in it for fifty days!
Twenty days of alchemy, thirty days of refining, Guo Yang seems to have taken advantage of ten days.
On this trip, Guo Yang gained a lot. He paid a total of ten drops of Fire Toad and more than 100,000 spirit stones, and he got a pair of magic weapon-level five spirit boots and sixty-eight top-grade Nine Transformation Pills for nothing.
The value of the Five Spirit Boots is immeasurable, because this magic weapon really needs a coincidence to get it.
First of all, the materials, the five kinds of five-attribute spirit birds and beasts, if it weren't for the painstaking search of Jindan seniors like Mr. Iron Tools, it would be difficult to get together at all.
Secondly, it is a superb conception and refining technique. Mr. Iron's whimsical ideas and accurate deductions, as well as his exquisite refining techniques, all made Guo Yang breathtaking!
In addition, after watching Mr. Iron's refining process throughout the process, Guo Yang felt that his cultivation comprehension had been a new breakthrough and confirmation, and many of the previous incomprehensible points had been solved. It's also a huge gain.
Guo Yang's path to cultivation is all based on his own exploration, and he has learned a lot of things that are plausible, lacking rigorous and accurate deduction. This drawback may not be obvious at present, but as his cultivation deepens and his realm gradually increases, it will inevitably become an insurmountable "hurdle".
Therefore, Guo Yang still respects Mr. Iron very much in his heart.
Back at Heavenly Sword Peak, Guo Yang immediately changed into Five Spirit Boots.
Because during the refining process, he had already carried out a blood confession, so as soon as he put on the Five Spirit Boots, the feeling of being one made Guo Yang very satisfied.
Guo Yang tried to inject a trace of spiritual power into the Five Spirit Boots, and his whole person suddenly floated up, standing in the void.
Taking a step casually, Guo Yang's figure blurred and appeared seven or eight feet away.
The space inside the cave was too small, Guo Yang came to the outside of the cave, and as soon as his divine sense moved, he flew forward for more than ten zhang. Because the speed was too fast, and Guo Yang was flying in the air for the first time, the moment he paused, he almost had an upside-down onion.
Guo Yang was taken aback, hurriedly stabilized his figure, fell a few zhang, and began to slowly familiarize himself with the five spirit boots at a distance of three or four zhang from the ground.
Two hours later, Guo Yang mastered the characteristics of the five spirit boots, and without deliberately controlling them, he could easily turn his body at will and sway freely.
Guo Yang was on an uninhabited mountain near Tianjian Peak, flying around comfortably. With his hands behind his back, he specially searched for those complex terrain places such as lush forests and mountain streams, so as to quickly grasp the various subtle changes of the Five Spirit Boots.
Guo Yang's expression was indifferent, thinking back to ten years ago, when he started a years-long escape career because he lost a sheep, and then recalled those years in the Taiwang faction, Guo Yang was full of emotion.
"This is the foundation building period!" Guo Yang whispered happily.
On a whim, Guo Yang's mind moved, and he flew towards the main peak of Heavenly Sword Peak.
Since he entered the Heavenly Sword Peak of the Yuntai Sect, he has not climbed the main peak once.
"As soon as I got started, I was pulled into the cave by the old man Zhou Butong, and I was in retreat for two or three years, and I didn't know the situation of Tianjian Peak. It is said that the sect's resource rewards for core disciples are extremely rich, and it is time to go and claim them once. Guo Yang shook his head and thought with a wry smile.
Tianjian Peak actually has three peaks, looking at it from a distance in the sky, it is like a three-headed and six-armed monster squatting, one of the peaks Guo Yang has been, which is the location of the Jing Pavilion. The other two peaks, one is where the pavilion is located, and the other is the main peak, which is where the affairs hall is located.
The scripture pavilion collects books, lectures, and transmits gongs.
Instrument Pavilion refining, alchemy, competition.
The main peak is taken into account as a whole, leading affairs, resource allocation, etc.
Guo Yang has built the foundation and must be registered in the affairs hall and go through the relevant procedures. In addition, he has not received the "living expenses" of his core disciples for about three years. Therefore, Guo Yang's first stop was the main peak.
Guo Yang turned into a shocking rainbow, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the square in front of the palace of affairs.
Guo Yang landed lightly and floated into the hall of affairs, which made the dozen or so disciples of the Heavenly Sword Peak Qi Refining Stage nearby envious and discussed.
"This uncle is so young, why haven't you seen it?"
Guo Yang listened to the discussion, and smiled secretly in his heart, but he was also quite proud in his heart.
As soon as Guo Yang entered the gate of the affairs hall, he found that there were many people here, most of them were disciples of the Qi refining period, and there were also two or three people in the foundation building period.
The space of the office is quite huge, divided into several areas, there are those who receive monthly gifts, those who receive tasks, those who consult and ask questions, and so on.
Although Guo Yang said that it was the first time to come to the Heavenly Sword Peak Affairs Palace, after all, he had been in the Jianghu Sect for seven or eight years, so he was not at a loss.
He slowly walked to the area where he received the moon gift, took out his identity jade pendant, handed it to a deacon disciple, and said, "I'll come to receive the moon gift." In addition, registration is required. I've been busy lately, so I didn't bother to come up, so I dragged it out a little late. ”
The deacon's disciple was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his cultivation was at the eighth level of the Qi refining period, and his appearance was very delicate. He took Guo Yang's jade pendant and put it on a jade plate, and immediately showed a few lines of text.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Guo Yangguo...... No, it's Senior Uncle Guo!" The deacon disciple suddenly found that he was standing in front of a newly promoted senior uncle in the foundation building period, his expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up to give a salute.
Guo Yang learned from the appearance of those masters in the foundation building period, smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Please also ask my nephew to make it convenient and handle the formalities." ”
The deacon disciple said respectfully, "Senior Uncle, please do it for you later." ”
The deacon disciple took Guo Yang's jade pendant, placed it on another jade plate, pressed his fingers on a few slightly convex places, picked up the jade pendant again, shook it in front of Guo Yang, and replaced it on the jade plate.
Guo Yang found that a few lines of text appeared on the jade plate, and at the same time, his own image also appeared clearly on the jade plate, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "This Yuntai Sect is really unfathomable, with this technology, it is many times more clever than the Taiwang Sect!"
"Senior Uncle Guo, your original monthly dedication totaled 300,000 lower-grade spirit stones, 300 Zhenyuan Dan, 1 Zhuji Dan, and a number of other items. However, the sect stipulates that those who build a foundation within three years of entry will be rewarded and compensated according to the foundation building period in the previous month. In this way, it should be 900,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and the pills will be replaced by 300 quenching spirit pills. In addition, the foundation building reward is 500,000 lower-grade spirit stones, 100 quenching spirit pills, and a number of other items. The deacon disciple said clearly.
"So many?" Guo Yang couldn't react when he heard it.
"Uncle Guo is a core disciple, of course he is different from others. The deacon disciple said with a smile.
Only then did Guo Yang react, those inner disciples squatted outside the cave all day long, persevering, it turned out that there were huge benefits.
In the Qi refining period stage of core disciples, Yuefeng is 10,000 spirit stones, and those ordinary disciples are only 100 pieces. The gap is simply incomparable!
Guo Yang received all his moon gifts, and then strolled towards the area where he received the task. In the three years he has been in the Yuntai Sect, he has not done a single sect mission, and he really doesn't know what tasks are here.
The task bar of Heavenly Sword Peak was directly displayed on a huge jade wall, surrounded by more than a dozen Qi Refining Stage disciples and a Foundation Building Stage master.
Guo Yang walked over and looked up at those tasks.
The tasks here are more miscellaneous, there are those who search for elixirs, those who kill beasts and demons, those who domesticate spiritual pets, those who take care of spiritual fields, and even those who make alchemy, there are many tasks, and the rewards seem to be quite rich.
Guo Yang is more interested in two of the tasks, one is to domesticate spirit pets, and the other is to take care of the medicine garden.
However, Guo Yang didn't know anything about domesticating spirit pets, so he had to give up. As for the task of taking care of the medicine garden, Guo Yang thought to himself that he should be familiar with the road, and the difficulty is not very great, the key is that he can also systematically understand the attributes of spiritual medicines.
But when Guo Yang saw that the task requirement must be a disciple of the Qi refining period, he had no choice but to give up.
Guo Yang suddenly saw a new task, which was released by Elder Miaoyin of Jade Girl Peak. The content of the task is very short, just one sentence: search for five second-order and above Nine Transformation Pills, and reward five million spirit stones!
Guo Yang thought he had seen it wrong, blinked his eyes, and took a closer look, yes.
Nine Turning Pills, and specifying to be above the second order, could it have something to do with the shrew of Iron Heart? Mr. Iron Ware once mentioned that Iron Heart's master is this Elder Miaoyin.
Five million spirit stones made Guo Yang's heart flutter, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times involuntarily.
But he was afraid that the secret of the vial would be exposed, and it would be worth the loss.
"What is the purpose of this Nine Turns Pill, this has to be clarified!" Guo Yang said in his heart.
At this time, there were five or six Qi Refining Stage disciples clustered around a Foundation Building Stage master and walked towards the task bar, and they made a loud noise, attracting the attention of everyone in the originally quiet Hall of Affairs.
Guo Yang also glanced back, and his face suddenly became a little strange: "Isn't this the middle-aged man who once challenged me?" I didn't expect that in order to save trouble, he deliberately gave away people's heads, so that he won inexplicably, and now he is in a good mood." ”
The middle-aged man looked complacent, causing many people around him to frown. And the several Qi Refining Stage disciples who followed behind him were all with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and their faces were full of flattery.
Guo Yang frowned and wanted to walk away. He felt that although the disciples of Heavenly Sword Peak could not say that all of them had sword qi like a rainbow and stood up to the sky, they could not be so vulgar.
"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Guo? The person who was beaten half to death by the Wind Blade Technique back then actually built a foundation, haha, this is the Heavenly Way to make up for it!" The middle-aged man suddenly said loudly when he saw Guo Yang.
Guo Yang was disgusted in his heart, frowned and walked out.
The middle-aged man thought that Guo Yang was afraid of him, and laughed insolently. In his mind, Guo Yang is a guy who is flexible and fast, but his combat power can only rely on Fu Seal.
As soon as Guo Yang walked out of the gate of the affairs hall, there was a burst of laughter behind him. The middle-aged man said loudly, "Senior Brother Guo Yang, will I let you go?"
Guo Yang wanted to ignore it, but he held back a bad breath in his heart, so he stopped. He turned around slowly and asked lightly, "This senior brother, is there something wrong with you?"
"I'm fine. However, if you come in, something will happen. The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Oh, that's right. Guo Yang slowly walked into the hall of the affairs hall and asked, "What is it, can you say it?"
"If you are defeated by me, then, you will lose your qualification as a core disciple. In this way, hand over the core disciple Yue Feng you received, and I will let you go. The middle-aged man said with a sneer.
The disciples of Heavenly Sword Peak who were watching in the hall of the Hall of Affairs were dumbfounded, it was not uncommon for them to provoke cultivators of the same rank so openly in Heavenly Sword Peak, but such blackmail that was close to robbery was really rare.
A monk from the foundation building period who was watching came over and said persuadly: "They are all brothers in the same sect, why bother. Senior Brother Hu, Senior Brother Guo, let's disperse, don't let the nephews see the jokes. ”
"Senior Brother Zhang, it's not that I'm unreasonable, it's really that this Senior Brother Guo Yang Guo has low skills, but his methods are despicable. Back then, 2,000 Fu Seals attacked Senior Brother Wen Gang and became a core disciple by luck, but I was not convinced. Therefore, some time ago, a stroke of the wind blade technique beat this Senior Brother Guo half to death. The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Many people around had heard about this, and they all looked at Guo Yang, with some disdain in their eyes.
Guo Yang didn't want to cause trouble, he felt really boring, but when the matter came, this middle-aged man didn't leave any way back, and he had evil thoughts when he landed.
"This is Senior Brother Hu, what do you say you should do?" Guo Yang asked indifferently.
"Easy to do. Since you lose, hand over the core disciple's monthly offerings, and give me all the monthly offerings from now on. The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"What does Senior Brother Hu mean, between you and me, who is more powerful, let the other party sacrifice all the moon offerings?" Guo Yang asked with a sad face.
"Exactly. The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"I'm afraid it won't work. This is not in line with the rules of the sect at all!" Guo Yang said.
"It's okay, the two of us signed an agreement to voluntarily transfer Yuefeng, which is in line with the rules of the sect. The middle-aged man said.
"Then how do you judge who is strong and who is weak?" Guo Yang asked in a low voice. He had already thought in his heart that if he didn't make this seemingly loyal but treacherous guy half dead, he wouldn't be surnamed Guo!
"Haha, it's simple, come on, Senior Brother Guo, let's sign an agreement first, and then the two of us will fight here, and there is naturally a public opinion on strength and weakness. The middle-aged man laughed and said.
There was already a middle-aged man's little attendant next to him who brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and brought a table, spread the paper flat, and the ink was studied.
After a dozen or so years, a voluntary agreement was written.
The middle-aged man walked over slowly, picked up the pen and signed the name, groaned slightly, bit his finger, and pressed a red fingerprint.
Guo Yang walked over slowly, read the agreement carefully, and said hesitantly: "Senior Brother Hu, and everyone, is this really in line with the rules of the sect?"
There was a scornful laugh all around. A deacon disciple spoke: "The sect stipulates that fighting between the same sect must not hurt people's lives, and as for the competition with colored heads, there are no relevant constraints, because, after all, this is your own business." ”
Guo Yang nodded slightly, and asked again: "The fists and feet are not long-sighted, if you miss and accidentally injure the other party's life, the sect should be severely punished, right?"
The deacon's disciple was quite familiar with the precepts of the sect, and he replied, "If it is deliberate, it will be punished severely." If it is indeed a accidental injury, it will be judged according to the law according to whether it is bad or not. ”
Guo Yang inquired clearly, in order to control himself, so as not to put himself in it. In the eyes of others, it is clearly cowardly and cowardly, procrastinating for time.
"Alright then, I'll sign it. Guo Yang said with a bitter face.
