Chapter 407: Entering the Primordial Barren Land

After Duan Tian entered, he immediately saluted and said, "Disciple Mao Ling see Master." ”

Qi Yazi sat upright and bowed slightly: "Well, from today onwards, you will be the sixteenth apprentice under the master's seat, and Zhang Yuan will be the seventeenth apprentice." As a teacher, I will first introduce you to a few senior brothers. This is your senior brother Qi Mu, the third senior brother Jin Yunshan, the sixth senior brother Wang Chenghu, and the ninth senior brother Zhao Jian......"

Duan Tian saluted one by one, Qi Yazi had accepted fifteen disciples before, and now there were seven more people on the mountain, among them, in addition to the tenth senior brother in retreat, the other second, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, eleventh, and thirteenth senior brothers had all passed away, and this mortality rate was really high.

In particular, Qi Yazi was a refiner, which made Duan Tian also have a trace of suspicion, and he was also secretly vigilant in his heart.

Refiners generally rarely go out to hunt demon beasts, and the mortality rate is relatively low, how can it be so high, there must be some problems here.

Seeing that two disciples were selected this time, Senior Brother Qi Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, representing that all senior brothers also welcomed the arrival of Duan Tian and the others.

Qi Yazi said: "Mao Ling, Zhang Yuan, you two are now under my door, if there are no special circumstances, you will come to me every month except for nine times, and explain to you the problems encountered in cultivation and refining for the teacher." For the rest of the day, take care of the mountains under your own management, and refine the flying magic weapon of my Wild Mountain Range. ”

Duan Tian and Zhang Yuan said: "Thank you, Master." ”

Qi Yazi said: "Mao Ling, you go to manage Yuan Chunshan, Zhang Yuan, you go to manage Mu Qingshan." The rest will be explained to you by Senior Brother. ”

Duan Tian and Zhang Yuan said: "Yes." ”

Qi Mu said: "Two junior brothers, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the Jingye Mountain Range and inform the two teachers and door rules. ”

This Qi Mu is one of Qi Yazi's own nephews. It is also proficient in refining. Now there is a late Jindan cultivation. Most of the things in the Wild Mountains are decided by him on weekdays.

Qi Mu said to Duan Tian: "Senior Brother Mao, the original pure mountain that the master arranged for you seems to have other expectations for you." ”

Duan Tiandao: "Senior brother doesn't know the reason, please ask senior brother to make it clear." ”

Qi Mu said: "Yuan Chun Mountain is not small in my Jingye Mountain Range, the length is more than 10,000 miles, and the highest height is 30,000 zhang, which is not much smaller than the mountain range for my brother. But this mountain range has been developed for a long time. What can be excavated is basically excavated, and the two juniors have not gained much income from operating the original pure mountain for hundreds of years, so they all think that this mountain is extremely barren. ”

"But our ancestor said to the master back then, although the minerals contained under the original pure mountain are difficult to mine, but the value is not low, but the first few junior disciples have not found suitable mining manpower, nor have they found good minerals, so the output of the original pure mountain is extremely low in my Jingye Mountain Range. However, there is also a benefit, that is, the proportion of sects handed over has also been reduced accordingly, so if the junior and junior are well managed. The income will never be bad. ”

"Yuan Chunshan has always been in charge of me, but I have too many chores. There is not much energy to put on it, now the conditions of the original pure mountain are not good, and I ask the junior brother to work harder, since the master let you manage this mountain, it must be valued by the ability of the junior brother, and I believe that the junior brother will be able to do this well. If there is a need, the senior brother will definitely do his best to help. ”

Duan Tiandao: "I see, thank you for the mention." Maoling will definitely manage well and live up to the trust of his master and senior brother. ”

When Duan Tian said goodbye to Han Zhimeng before, he naturally knew who Zhang Yuan was admitted at the same time as him, and the Zhang Yuan family was a Xuantian Authentic Clan.

The head of the family Taishang also has the early cultivation of the Yuan Infant, and this chapter Yuan must have an internal relationship to come in, and the assigned peaks must be good.

Only he was helpless, and as soon as he came, he was assigned to the worst place.

As Qi Mu walked around the Shocking Mountain Range, Duan Tian also had a general understanding of everything on the mountain range, and then came to the Yuan Pure Mountain that belonged to his own management.

Although there are many palaces on the main mountain, it is difficult to hide the dilapidated atmosphere, and it is obvious that no one has taken care of it for a long time.

At this time, dozens of people gathered on the mountain, these people were all outer disciples who belonged to the Yuan Pure Mountain Range, these people didn't look very good, and their cultivation was average.

Seeing that there were only so many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Nuoda Mountain Range, Duan Tian couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Originally, there would never be only so many people on the original pure mountain, but the previous mountain lord has been dead for more than thirty years, and this place has always been managed by the senior brother Qi Mu.

Qi Mu itself was busy, and the original pure mountain did not have much oil and water, so it was naturally negligent in management, resulting in the original hundreds of people in this mountain slowly dispersed, most of them were dug up by other peaks, and the rest were basically the old, weak, sick and disabled that no one wanted.

These people have long known that the new mountaineer is coming, and they are also full of hope, after all, it is much better to have someone to take care of things than no one. Seeing Duan Tian coming, he immediately bowed down and saluted, "See the mountain master." ”

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Duan Tian shook his head secretly, and his divine sense swept over, there were about a dozen late-stage foundation building monks here, but all of them were hopeless people, and most of them were about two hundred years old, and there were not many remaining longevity yuan.

The rest are all people in the early and middle stages of foundation building, and their age is considered very old in terms of their cultivation.

The dozens of people here are all outer disciples, and they have never seen even a single miscellaneous servant, and these outer disciples are basically people with mediocre qualifications, guarding the original pure mountain, and it is estimated that it is difficult to support themselves, let alone ask for miscellaneous servants.

Duan Tian nodded and smiled, "Hello everyone." Don't stand outside, but come with me into the temple to talk in detail. ”

Although these people are not of much use, Duan Tian is not a ruthless person, although these people have no way to stay here, but they will always be Duan Tian's people in the future, and Duan Tian will never treat them badly.

Seeing that the new mountain lord was so easy-going, these people were also relieved, and they all followed Duan Tian into the main hall.

Although this hall is slightly dilapidated, the inside is still spotless, and obviously the people here do not dare to slack off on weekdays, after all, it is where the mountain gate is.

After Duan Tian sat down, he didn't speak, took out a stove with one hand, poured it into a century-old clear spring, a little fire, and the water of the stove was boiled for a while.

Duan Tian took out dozens of delicate jade cups with one hand, put some tea leaves into each jade cup, soaked the boiling water, and waved his hand slightly, and saw these jade cups flying steadily in front of everyone.

Duan Tian raised his teacup and said, "When I met you for the first time today, Mao Ling was polite." ”

These people hurriedly picked up the teacups and said, "The mountain master is polite, and his subordinates dare not be ashamed." ”

Duan Tian drank the tea and said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, and slowly tell me what happened on the original pure mountain." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally an old man spoke: "Returning to the mountain lord, the contemptible Huang Songlan, who has been in the original pure mountain for one hundred and eighty years, knows himself very well about the affairs of this mountain, and dares to ask what the mountain lord wants to ask." ”

Duan Tiandao: "It turned out to be Huang Lao, why is this mountain so depressed?"

Huang Songlan said: "This mountain was said to be a very rich mountain range tens of thousands of years ago, many masters of the pulse said that there is a treasure here, so this mountain was developed very early, and it is said that the output was also considerable, and it was once one of the important mineral bases of the Lan family." ”

"But with the change of time, this mountain has become more and more barren, and in the last few hundred years, there is almost nothing, and the buried minerals are either buried very deep, or there are many impurities, in short, it is not easy for people like us to find valuable things. Moreover, the mining is too frequent, there is not much left of the spiritual field on this mountain, and the spiritual field is also quite barren, the growth of the planted things is slow, the color is poor, and it is often hard for decades but cannot make ends meet. ”

"Until the last generation of the mountain lord into the master, that is, the seventh senior brother of the mountain master, the last generation of the mountain master is a master of refining, for the prospecting also has its own uniqueness, mining, stripping also has a wonderful method, plus its own can endure hardships, often go deep into the front line to find the pulse, mining, operating here for a hundred years, and gradually become this mountain prosperous. ”

"We were all recruited by the previous generation of mountain masters, and following the mountain lord can be regarded as a gain. But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and the previous generation of mountain masters suddenly exploded and died together with the refining furnace when refining weapons thirty-six years ago, and there are no bones left. With the death of the previous mountain owner, there were several people who took care of it, but none of them had the skills and hard-working spirit of the mountain master, so the output was very small. Later, a group of people trained by the previous generation of mountain masters all went to other places, and only I waited for no one to ask for them, so they stuck here and mixed up some daily pocket money. ”

At this time, another old man said: "We are all useless people, and there is nowhere to go, but Lao Huang is by no means such a person, Lao Huang is proficient in refining tools, and he also has some demeanor of the previous generation of family masters for mining, I don't know how many people want Lao Huang to go over, but Lao Huang refuses." ”

"There are still our old bones here, if there is no Lao Huang to take care of us, we will not be able to continue cultivating at all, let alone improving, it is impossible to maintain the current cultivation. Now although there is little hope for us, there is always a glimmer of hope, Lao Huang also works hard every day, although this mountain is barren, but it is becoming easier and easier to feed dozens of us. I've been waiting for a few years and even better than before. ”

Duan Tiandao: "Oh, why does Huang Lao refuse to leave?"

Huang Songlan said: "Although there are still a few mountain ranges for me to go to, I have received great favor from the previous generation of mountain masters, and the previous generation of mountain masters died, and the old people have no intention of developing elsewhere." With so many old brothers here, how could I leave alone and abandon them. Moreover, although Yuan Chunshan is barren now, no one harasses him, and there are very few handins, as long as I work hard, my income is still acceptable. ”

"In recent years, there are even a few people who have shown signs of breakthroughs. Cultivation is against the sky, and we are not willing to sink like this, and we must make a name for ourselves. I hope that the mountain lord will lead us to work together and develop well, and our subordinates will go all out. At a glance, the mountain lord knows that he is a person with great ambitions and ambitions, and he has no shelf, so I am willing to listen to the mountain lord's orders. (To be continued.) )
