Chapter 42: To go or not to go
When he arrived at the entrance of the second floor of the secret hall, it was still the rotating disciple from last time, after paying a spirit stone as an entrance fee, Lu Buping thought about it, took out another spirit stone, and bowed his hand to the rotating disciple: "Thank you, senior brother." Just as he was about to enter the door, the disciple on duty gently spit out in the back: "Be careful." With that, he stood silently and straight.
After hearing this, Lu Buping nodded slightly, and then entered the entrance of the second floor. After passing through the long path last time, he entered the hall again, this time, Uncle Hu Ling did not shake his head and read the book, but watched Lu Buping enter the hall, and then laughed and said, "Senior Nephew Lu really kept his word and came to exchange this pill?"
Lu Buping bowed to Uncle Hu Ling and said, "Uncle Hu, the disciple has saved enough spirit stones these days to exchange for that elixir." With that, he respectfully handed over the agreed spirit stone to Uncle Hu Ling.
That Uncle Hu Ling didn't seem to care, and with a wave of his sleeves, he rolled the spirit stone into the storage bag, and then a jade bottle appeared on the table, "Senior Nephew Lu, this is your last pill, check it out." ”
Lu Buping sneered in his heart, that Uncle Hu Ling seemed to be generous and didn't care, but in fact, he was just relying on his own foundation cultivation and had already scanned it with his divine sense. Ordinary Qi cultivation disciples couldn't detect it, but with the characteristics of their own frightened body, they had already felt a coolness overflowing from the surroundings. However, Lu Buping still looked respectful, opened the jade bottle, carefully sniffed it, and after confirming the quality of the elixir, he greeted Uncle Hu Ling and said, "Thank you, Uncle Hu." ”
That Uncle Hu said to Lu Bu seemingly casually: "I heard that you recently cut off the arm of a disciple of Zhenling Mountain?"
As soon as Lu Buping heard this, he immediately became alert, and replied respectfully: "That's because the disciples didn't pay attention when they were fighting, but I heard that the disciple of Zhenling Mountain is fine, and the senior uncle of Zhenling Mountain has used a spell to take back the broken arm." ”
"Haha, even if the broken arm is brought back, it is still cultivated to descend, and it can no longer be driven by the arm like before. Seeing Lu Buping's cautious face, Uncle Hu Ling slowed down: "Of course, that disciple has nothing to do with me, I just care about you and nephew Hu, I heard that the disciple is also a ninth-level qi cultivator, it seems that Master Hu's skills are not shallow." ”
"Thank you Uncle for your praise, the disciple just won a fluke. Lu Buping still replied cautiously.
"Senior Nephew Lu, I see that you only have three spirit roots, and now the key to hitting the tenth layer from the ninth layer, this pill may not be enough. Uncle Hu Ling said with great concern about the landing.
"Then I don't know if Uncle Hu has any good way to make my nephew and me hit the tenth layer as soon as possible?" Lu Buping was also very concerned about this issue.
Uncle Hu Ling said to Lu Buping slowly: "I am willing to give another pill to my nephew, but this pill is not from the sect, it is my own, I have no interest in the spirit stone recently, but there is a small matter I want to find a disciple to deal with, there is no suitable candidate for a while, I wonder if the nephew is interested?"
Lu Buping pondered for a while, and then said to Uncle Hu Ling: "Disciple, during this time, I am going to practice diligently. ”
Uncle Hu Ling didn't seem surprised, and then said, "Senior Nephew Lu, aren't you going to listen to this task and make plans again?"
That Lu Buping actually replied without hesitation: "Uncle Hu, the disciple still doesn't inquire about the news of this mission, but what I think is that even if I take this task, the return of one pill should not be enough." ”
Uncle Hu Ling was obviously stunned by these words, and only asked after a while, "Do you mean to raise the offer again?"
That Lu Buping actually raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I won't listen to the task, let's listen to the quotation first, if I don't succeed in upgrading, think about it again, and I won't accept this task." ”
Uncle Hu Ling stared at Lu Buping for a long time, "Uncle Lu, why don't you play cards according to common sense?"
Lu Buping smiled and didn't reply. Uncle Hu Ling said directly: "How about a pill and three hundred spirit stones?"
Lu Buping tilted his head and thought about it, and finally spoke: "Uncle Hu Ling, I will make a price first, but it doesn't mean that I will definitely go, what do you think?"
Uncle Hu Ling laughed: "Senior nephew Lu, you are quite bold, you are not afraid that if you don't come to the price, the old man will turn his face and make trouble for you?"
Lu Buping smiled and said, "Uncle Hu, even if I don't complete that task, I believe you will definitely be able to find a suitable person, but well, there are really not many disciples in the Qi cultivation period who keep using spirit stones in exchange for resources with energy in their hands." I have always hoped to be a stable resource for my uncle. ”
Uncle Hu Ling couldn't help but say happily: "Interesting, interesting, it's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting disciple." Tell me about your conditions."
Lu Buping said directly: "One pill that hits the tenth layer, three pills that are useful for disciples below the seventh layer, a good sword book, and three hundred spirit stones." ”
That Uncle Hu Ling was a little dumbfounded, and looked at Lu Buping for a long time before he spoke: "Senior nephew Lu, I think that after you successfully build the foundation, you can come and sit in my position, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves." ”
Lu Buping laughed: "Then Uncle Hu, the disciple will leave first." ”
"Wait. I saw that Uncle Hu Ling gritted his teeth and said, "I agreed to this condition, when will you reply to me?"
"Within six months. Lu Buping replied.
"No, three months, it must be three months. Uncle Hu Ling said a little viciously.
"However, after four months, it will be a big competition of sects, and the disciples still want to participate in the ranking of the martial arts competition. Lu Buping said with some hesitation.
Uncle Hu Ling couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "The sect competition, even if you get the first place, it's nothing more than a few spirit stones a month, not to mention that your reputation is big enough now, even I, Uncle Zhuji, have heard it, how can the sect care if you have a ranking." If you get my resources, what else do you want?"
Lu Buping never knew what the role of the ranking was, and when he heard Uncle Hu Ling's words, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to fully believe Uncle Hu Ling's words, so he still arched his hand and said: "Uncle Hu, then I will reply to you within three months, accept or not." ”
"Okay, then Uncle Shi is waiting for your good news, believe me, you will definitely come back. That Uncle Hu Ling actually smiled mysteriously.
After Lu Buping returned to Luhaishan, he told the other three about this information, and everyone agreed that the task must be difficult, and Lu Buping didn't ask about the task clearly, which was a bit too hasty. Lu Buping was silent all the time, didn't speak much, and thought about his thoughts. Since joining the sect, he found that the level of disciples in the Qi cultivation period was not as easy as he imagined. Every time I encountered a bottleneck in the past, the Master Reincarnation Master would be able to give me a red pill, and I would immediately be able to break through the bottleneck and rise to the next level. But now in the sect, the three spirit roots should be medium spirit roots, and it is said that if you have cultivated to the ninth level in a short period of time, you should be at least the qualification of the four spirit roots. This time, the blue pill given by Uncle Hu Ling smelled the same as the red pill, but Lu Buping always had a feeling in his heart that perhaps, the effect of the red pill was far away from the silence of this blue pill.
Seeing that the three of them were still chattering around him, Lu Buping couldn't help but sigh: "If you know the task, make an offer, or still don't go, do you think Uncle Hu Ling will let me go?"
The three of them looked at each other a few times, but they were silent, and after a while, they dispersed.
