Chapter 12: The Hunting Squad and the Eccentric Old Man

"What a moody mood!"

After the three people who were driven out by Leng Yan walked away, Yin Ning, who was ridiculed the most, suddenly sighed, in fact, Yin Ning had already scolded Old Man Dou thousands of times with the most ugly words he knew in his heart, but what he could say on the surface could only be a sigh that sounded like a slight complaint.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, Uncle Dou is still good, some disciples who think they have some capital, because of their arrogant attitude, annoyed Uncle Dou, and were extremely miserable. ”

Although Yin Ning complained very cautiously, it still made Lu Xingcai, who knew the character of Old Man Dou very retributive, frightened, and immediately stopped Yin Ning from continuing to complain, changed the topic, pointed to the miscellaneous disciples who had been enthusiastically helping the two of them, and introduced them in a very pleasant tone.

"Get to know, this is Senior Brother Luo Dailuo, and he is also our disciple of Kuzhu Peak, Senior Brother Luo already has an eighth-level cultivation of Qi refining, which is higher than both you and me, so we should call him Senior Brother with respect. ”

After hearing Lu Xingcai's introduction, Yin Ning, who had been thinking about how to deal with the strange old man in Lu Xingcai's mouth, now turned his attention to the sturdy young man who had been helping them diligently.

This young man named Luo Dai looked to be about thirty years old, more than seven feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a little deformed and wide shoulders, a wide face and a wide nose, and a little ugly, but his eyes were clear, and the light of sincerity flashed so that it was difficult for people to feel disgust.

"I've seen Senior Brother Luo. ”

Based on his first impression, Yin Ning immediately saluted politely and respectfully after determining that this Luo Dai was a person who could be made friends.

"You're welcome, Senior Brother Yin, who is also a disciple of Kuzhu Peak, naturally wants to help each other. ”

The young man named Luo Dai is extremely bold, he doesn't look like a cultivator, but more like a chivalrous or gang member among mortals, he is extremely heroic, his attitude is extremely enthusiastic, and he feels a little like wanting to call Yin Ning a brother.

Lu Xingcai was very happy to see that the two of them greeted each other, and continued to say to Yin Ning: "Senior Brother Luo and I have formed a hunting team together, specializing in hunting demon beasts, Senior Brother Luo specializes in earth attribute spells, and is good at guarding the law, which is the solid stone shield of our hunting team, oh! By the way, Senior Brother Luo also has an armored corpse, and has the strength of a ninth-level corpse. ”

When Luo Dai heard Lu Xingcai's boasting about himself, his face did not show too much complacency, but he was extremely embarrassed, scratched his head and said: " Senior Brother Lu praised falsely, my ability is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and I am just a corpse controller, the armor corpse of the ninth-level corpse servant is just an ordinary armor corpse, but it can't be compared with Senior Brother Yin, the corpse refiner, and his bronze armor refining corpse, having Senior Brother Yin join our hunting team, it is simply like a tiger with wings, in the future, we can not only hunt on the periphery of the hunting ground, but maybe we can also go deep into the central area, hunt high-level demon beasts, and pick more and better elixir. ”

"Who said they were going to join your hunting team. Yin Ning thought with some wonder in his heart.

Lu Xingcai seemed to see the confusion in Yin Ning's heart, and patiently explained: "Senior Brother Yin, although I once told you not to be arrogant, but you can't be too ambitious, although the Corpse Nightmare Sect is a great sect of the Demon Dao, most of the cultivation resources in the sect are allocated to the upper echelons and those core disciples, and the rest are all inner disciples, and we, the outer disciples with mediocre or poor cultivation qualifications, can only be self-reliant." ”

"Those who have some endowments among the outer disciples, who have learned a little talisman refining instrument cultivation skills, and can earn spiritual stones and other cultivation resources safe and sound, are a minority after all, and most of the outer disciples who do not have a skill can only gamble their lives in exchange for precious cultivation resources, that is, enter the hunting area demarcated by the sect to hunt demon beasts and snatch those elixirs guarded by demon beasts. ”

"But the hunting area is rampant with monsters, dangerous and abnormal, single-handedly can run rampant in it, there are very few of all the outer disciples, most of the outer disciples will team up with close friends to enter the hunting area, work together to hunt demon beasts, seize the elixir, I think Senior Brother Yin, as a corpse refiner, although he has been in the cultivation realm for a long time, but most of them practice the method of refining corpses and the art of controlling corpses, and they must not have practiced any cultivation skills, if they want to obtain cultivation resources, they must also go to those hunting areas, and Senior Brother Yin has just officially started, presumably there must be no relatives in the sect, it is better to join the hunting team organized by Senior Brother and me!”

Senior Brother Lu said in the end, and solemnly invited Yin Ning.

Yin Ning thought quickly in his mind, and after weighing the pros and cons, he realized that he had just officially started, and first followed a group of old disciples to learn and adapt to the ordinary life of outer disciples, there was nothing wrong with it, but it was extremely beneficial to himself, and he had readily agreed in his heart, but he still pretended to be puzzled by the question.

"But junior brother, I only have a third-level Qi refining cultivation, am I qualified to join the hunting team of the senior brothers?

This time it was Luo Dai who answered Yin Ning, and after the big man laughed, he patted Yin Ning's slender shoulder affectionately with his big hand and said: "Senior Brother Yin, do you know that although my Corpse Nightmare Sect is famous for its corpse refining technique, not every disciple can have a corpse refining, especially among the outer disciples, the proportion of disciples who have corpse refining may be less than about two or three tenths, you see that like Senior Brother Lu, he has been in the business for almost ten years, and he has not yet had his own corpse refining." ”

Lu Xingcai didn't care about Luo Dai's shortcomings at all, but joined in personally.

"I have also used my contribution points many times to exchange for corpse control talismans and get the opportunity to enter the sect's corpse-raising place, but maybe my qualifications are too dull, or my luck is too poor, and I fell short when I surrendered the walking corpse and failed to turn it into my own corpse. Among the outer disciples, unlucky and dull people like Senior Brother and I account for the majority, so there are many people who are disciples of the Corpse Nightmare Sect but do not have a corpse refining body, and the junior disciple should understand how precious the outer disciples who have a corpse refining corpse are! ”

After listening to the accounts of the two senior brothers, Yin Ning suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction that was more than the inferior, but he said to Lu Xingcai with a sympathetic face: "Senior brother doesn't have to be secretly sad, junior brother, I have experience in subduing corpse refining, and when senior brother gets another chance to enter the place where corpses are raised, I will definitely teach all the experience of subduing corpse refining." ”

After hearing this, Lu Xingcai was extremely happy and excited, and thanked Yin Ning repeatedly, but at this time, Luo Dai suddenly said: "Have we been chattering for too long and talking too much, we should have asked Senior Brother Yin to go to the treasury earlier to get the exchange entry items." ”

"Yes pole! Yes pole! Then Senior Brother Yin will go first! The treasury is at the bottom floor, it is a heavy land, and it is inconvenient for me to accompany it, so I am waiting for my junior brother in the square where I just landed, and it is still early, so I can choose slowly. ”

After receiving Yin Ning's experience in subduing and refining corpses, Lu Xingcai was even more attentive to Yin Ning, and his tone was more intimate.

After Yin Ning said goodbye to the two, he stepped on the wooden ladder that was sturdy and exuded a fresh and pleasant fragrance, and soon went down to the bottom floor, and after looking at the two huge golden bronze doors in front of him, Yin Ning first pasted the white jade slip that he was holding tightly in his hand on his smooth forehead.

"Although in the corpse examination hall, from the mouth of the well-informed Zhao Fatzi, I have learned that choosing those things is the most affordable, but now that things have changed, I have agreed to join Senior Brother Lu's hunting team, and I believe that I will soon go to the hunting area to fight with demon beasts, so I should still choose more things that can enhance my combat strength and save my life. ”

Yin Ning looked at the white jade slip lying flat on his palm, and after hesitating slightly, he finally made up his mind not to make any changes, and after holding the white jade slip tightly, he knocked lightly on the copper door.

Bang dang!

After a crisp metal grinding sound, the two bronze doors were unexpectedly separated left and right by themselves without being pushed, revealing an incomparably bright treasury full of jewels inside.

"Come in!"

As the door of the treasury opened by itself, a cold voice also came into Yin Ning's ears, making the nervous Yin Ning involuntarily take a few steps forward and enter the treasury.

What Yin Ning thought was that the so-called treasury was not as spacious as imagined, it was actually the same size as an ordinary person's study, and the house was not cluttered with all kinds of cultivation items, but was extremely clean and tidy, spotless, and there was not much furniture in the house, except for a few large bookshelves full of books, it was the long bookcase placed in the north, at this time, there was a thin old man with gray hair and black robe sitting behind the bookbank, concentrating on reading books.

"Tell me, why are you here? Young man, I don't have much time to waste with you. ”

The thin old man with gray hair and black robe didn't raise his head, focused on the book, and said to Yin Ning in an extremely impatient tone.

"Senior, kid Yin Ning is a new disciple, I came here to collect and exchange items, and it was Uncle Dou who asked me to come. ”

Yin Ning couldn't see the specific cultivation of the old man in front of him, so he was extremely cautious to use his predecessors to commensurate him, although he was trembling, but his words were clear.

After listening to Yin Ning's words, the thin old man first sneered directly, and then finally raised his head, and after looking at Yin Ning with a pair of thin eyes that turned out to be turquoise, his tone was still cold and said with mockery: "Hmph! Obviously a Qi Refining Period cultivator, he actually has the face and courage to let other Qi Refining Cultivators call himself Senior Uncle, it's really shameless!" And you, this kid, you have just learned to slip and shoot horses when you are officially introduced, and you are also a person with impure minds, you have made the old man extremely annoyed, and I don't want to see you for a moment, quickly take out the jade slip in your hand, and after receiving the exchange items, you will give me a roll!"

After listening to the thin old man's scolding of him, Yin Ning felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, and raised his hands in fear and fear.

Sou!

Like the old man Dou, the thin old man's hand was also a light move, and the jade slip obediently turned into a streamer, and flew steadily into the thin old man's thin palm, the thin old man stood up, glared at Yin Ning viciously with small green eyes similar to the poisonous snake and snake pupils, and said with a smile: "Boy, I hope you are not an insatiable and clever person, if the items you choose to mark on the jade slip exceed the potential points you deserve, you don't want to get anything from me." ”

After speaking, the thin old man didn't look at Yin Ning's reaction, and turned around and walked to the dark cubicle behind him.

Yin Ning felt that the items he marked must be within a hundred potential points, but he was still apprehensive, afraid that the thin old man who looked at him extremely unpleasantly would announce his personal vendetta.

Fortunately, Yin Ning's torment and waiting did not last long, and soon the thin old man walked out of the dark compartment, and the jade slip in his hand was gone, replaced by a palm-sized iron medal and a small cyan cloth bag.

The thin old man glanced at Yin Ning with a little meaning, and said in a stiff and cold tone: "Boy, you are still an honest person, you don't pretend to be smart, you think that the old man is dizzy, you don't know how to count, and you want to lie to me, you really just chose an item that matches your potential." ”

"This is the identity token of the sect, you will recognize the master after dripping your own blood, and this is every official entry corpse sect disciple will get a lower-grade storage bag, this storage bag contains a special clothing book for the formal beginner disciples, as well as the items you choose with potential points, including the low-grade magic weapon 'Cold Tooth Blade', the low-grade magic weapon 'Xingyun', a middle-level talisman 'Armor Melting Talisman', a middle-level talisman 'Shenxing Talisman', ten low-level talismans 'Ghost Retreat Talisman', and ten low-level talismans' 'Ding's ghost talisman', old man, I am an upright person, and I will never cheat you as a junior, so you don't need to check it, take your things and get out of me!"

After the thin old man gently threw a bag of cards in his hand, they turned into streamers and accurately fell into Yin Ning's hands, and then Yin Ning was swept out of the treasury like garbage in the wind from the thin old man's sleeves.

"It's a ......"

Yin Ning, who stood firm outside the treasury, holding a bag of cards, looked at the bronze gate that was immediately closed, and couldn't say the words to describe his current situation and state of mind for a while.
