In the jade box, a lot of ghost crickets were imprisoned by spell prohibition, and they all jumped up when they saw the light, but they bounced back when they hit the ban, and they could only make a cry of "crickets, crickets" in a hurry.

Shi Dong was overjoyed, squinted his eyes and counted, there were ten of these ghost crickets, all of them black and shiny, and their bodies were stout.

"Damn old man Zhou, you finally did a good deed!" Shi Dong scolded with a smile, and suddenly saw a letter at the bottom of the jade box.

So he stretched out his hand and shot out a piece of true qi, broke the prohibition on the jade box, and then ordered the strong ghost to take out the letter, because the true qi suppressed those ghost crickets to death, they couldn't jump out at all, and then Shi moved the sleeves of his robe and closed the lid of the jade box.

"Xiao Hei, open the letter and let me see it. Shi Dong calmly ordered the bloodthirsty Hercules, for the sake of safety, he didn't want to be poisoned by Zhou Denuo again, so he simply let the Hercules operate.

As the bloodthirsty ghost opened the letter, and nothing abnormal happened, Shi Dong narrowed his eyes and swept it from a distance, and saw that there were few words left on the letter-

"Ten insects will be gifted, and the following materials will be obtained within one year...... And go to Niutou Mountain at the gate of the sect to leave the following mark, and someone will pick you up, and exchange it for the medicine that suppresses the 'life and death charm'. ”

Next to the word "mark", a striking stone door mark is drawn in cinnabar, with the left door open and the right door closed.

Shi Dong smiled bitterly, he was very happy to get ten ghost crickets before, but when he saw those materials, he immediately became distressed, some of the materials had never heard of the name, some of them were quite rare, and some of them were simply forbidden materials of the sect, who would take the risk of getting them. That is to be caught is to kill the head.

"Damn old man Zhou. Kill the old turtle with a thousand knives!You're going to push the master into the fire pit!" Shi Dong couldn't help but scold. Now that he understands it, Zhou Denuo is using him as an important chess piece, and he began to force him to get some rare materials, and he doesn't know what kind of conspiracy he is doing.

Scolding and scolding, for the sake of his own life, Shi Dong had to pinch his nose and plan to do it!

After all, the senior sister hadn't helped him lift the life and death talisman, and now his life was still in Zhou Denuo's hands. And what kind of conspiracy Zhou is going to do next, he is also very curious, and wants to follow and see, maybe he can make some sweets.

After writing down the list of required materials, Shi Dong burned the letter, and then took out the ghost pill and fed a few ghost crickets to nourish their spirits.

Immediately, he picked the largest and darkest blood sacrifice for the past, and planned to go to the gambling ghost shop to gamble on a ghost in the next two days.

"Hmm...... Ten ghost crickets are going to bet on ten ghosts. Sell them for the Spirit Stones, and then think about buying those materials. That's a lot of work! There are still ten months to go, and every month you have to think about gambling on a ghost, otherwise it will be too late!"

Shi Dong secretly calculated, fortunately, there are now more than 900 medium-grade spirit stones in his hands, and the search for materials can be carried out in advance, which is a favorable factor.

After disposing of the ghost crickets, Shi Dong finally turned out the treasures obtained from the black-faced monk-

One Yin Demon Thunder, 70 medium-grade Evil Spirit Stones, 350 lower-grade Evil Spirit Stones, Ghost Claw Hand Cheats, Blood Evil Divine Skill Cheats, and Xiao Yuan Dan, the contribution of the sect is worth 30,000 points.

In addition, Duan Mei has returned the last volume of the Gambler Sutra to him, so that he will take stock of it all, total-

There are more than 1,000 medium-grade spirit stones, more than 1,000 low-grade spirit stones, more than 30,000 sect contribution points, the upper and lower volumes of the Gambling Ghost Sutra, a few cheats, a treasure hunting map, a Xiao Yuan Dan, a Yin Evil Thunder, and ninety-nine ghost Lingzhi plants, a few magical talismans from Zhou Denuo, and the rest is a small half of the various talismans left.

This is all the net worth of Shi Dong at the moment, and if he takes it out, he is afraid that he is already worthy of some relatively poor foundation building monks.

Shi Dong couldn't help but feel refreshed, there was a smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, he planned to use these wealth carefully, only digest it through Wang Baobao, and not use it in the Cloud Mist Peak, otherwise he would not be able to explain the origin of the huge wealth.

In the end, he picked up the Bloody Demon Skill Secret Book and the Ghost Claw Hand Secret Book and looked at it, the former is a Xuan-level exercise, which is worth 10,000 sect contribution points, and it is the exclusive head of the sect secrets.

It's a pity that Shi Dong can't practice, he has already cultivated the ghost control technique, and the bloody magic skill is two paths, so he can only look through it and learn from it to understand what is the magic of the bloody evil divine skill.

This look really startled him, and he secretly admired that the secret technique of the master's vein was really unusual, the blood demon magic skill could drive the blood skeleton magic weapon, refine the blood corpse, and drive a large number of blood skeletons.

Its biggest feature is that it uses blood to pollute the monk's magic weapon, corrode the monk's true qi, and even create a sea of blood to trap the opponent.

Seeing this, Shi Dong was secretly glad that he had this bloody magic skill cheat as a reference, and in the future, he would be mentally prepared to fight with the people in charge of the sect, so he would not suffer a dark loss.

As for the Ghost Claw Hand Secret Book, it is a Yellow Order Secret Skill, which is worth a thousand contribution points, but it is very useful to him.

Shi Dong is worried that he doesn't have the spell to trap the enemy, if he learns the ghost claw hand, he can catch the enemy in one hand, and then make the spirit ghost attack, which can be described as a big advantage.

Fortunately, this is just a Yellow Rank secret technique, and it is driven immediately by using the True Qi of the Evil Qi, otherwise, with the cultivation of the fifth layer of Qi Refining at the time of Shi Dong, it will not be able to drive it at all, because the Demon Claw Hand can only be released by condensing the True Qi, and if the True Qi is insufficient, it will naturally be difficult to condense it.

After reading this secret book carefully a few times, Shi Dong secretly wrote down his mental method, planning to figure it out first, and then try to cultivate after he completely understands the practice method, and he is not in a hurry now.

Finally, after sorting all the counted loot into a storage belt or a storage ring, Shi Dong held his head in his hands and lay on the repaired bed, looking at the ceiling, pondering a question that had always made him a little uneasy.

He was thinking about the life-and-death moment facing the black-faced monk that day, he was caught by the enemy's ghost claw hand, and he couldn't break free, why the aura suddenly appeared in the sea of divine thoughts. Fused with the evil spirit. Will it burst out with incredible power?

He also thought about it. The stone gate of the Demon Venerable inheritance could not be opened in all kinds of ways, and Zhou Denuo could only open it with the token of the Yin Luo Sect, why did he put his hand on it and instill the spiritual energy and the evil true qi at the same time, and the stone door was actually opened?

He clearly remembered that at the beginning, when he was just infusing the True Qi, the stone gate was sucking wildly, almost sucking him into the palm of his hand to spurt blood. However, as soon as the aura was poured in, the situation changed immediately, and Shimen actually passed on a friendly message.

"Could it be that the dual cultivation of spirits and demons is the supreme practice of the sect?" Shi Dong turned out the mysterious ghost control technique, gently flipped it with his hand, looked at the mental methods inside, and couldn't help muttering secretly.

Suddenly, he remembered the look of horror on the face of the black-faced monk when he broke free from the ghost's clawed hand, as if he had seen something incredible in the world.

Now think about it. That kind of horror definitely shows that he knows that the aura and the true qi are used at the same time. The true meaning of what is represented.

"Alas...... Otherwise, let's find a chance to ask the Fifth Senior Sister! With her knowledge as a foundation building monk, she will definitely know the real inside story, otherwise, there will always be some strange feelings. ”

Shi Dong always felt uneasy in his heart, if the dual cultivation of spirit and demon was so powerful, why didn't there be other cultivators in the sect to cultivate, why was it the secret key to the Demon Venerable inheritance?

If he didn't figure out this problem, he wouldn't dare to cultivate that mysterious ghost trick anymore!

Just as he was pondering in the cave mansion, he suddenly heard Uncle Cong shouting loudly from outside: "All the registered disciples of Yunwu Peak come out of the cave and come to the council hall to gather!"

Shi Dong was startled, this meant that something big had happened in Yunwu Peak, so he quickly jumped up from the bed, rushed out of the cave and ran towards the council hall.

Along the way, disciples continued to join, all of them looked surprised, and they asked one after another, what was the matter with Uncle Cong's summoning?

But no one knew, and they all hurried to the council chamber.

When he came to the council hall, Shi Dong saw that there were already many monks standing neatly here, with all the new disciples on his left hand and all the old disciples on his right hand.

Seeing Mao Feifei standing among the new disciples, he quietly squeezed over and stood beside Mao Feifei, Mao Feifei grinned at him and said hello.

Shi Dongbao smiled and looked up, and saw Uncle Cong standing on the high platform with his back hunched over, coughing slightly, but there was no trace of the master, and he couldn't help but wonder slightly.

Behind him, there were a lot of footsteps, new and old registered disciples kept rushing in, and after a while, no one came in anymore, and the entire spacious meeting hall was already sparsely populated with nearly sixty people.

Among them, there are more than 20 new disciples and more than 30 old disciples.

Shi Dong swept his eyes, only saw such a few people, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He still remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival gathering a year ago, there were more than 30 new disciples and more than 40 old disciples, but he didn't expect that only a year later, there were so many people left, and the elimination rate of this demon gate was really high!

But if you think about it carefully, the last Mid-Autumn Festival gathering was driven out directly because more than a dozen new disciples did not pass the first level of qi refining, and it is not unusual for many disciples to disappear there because of the recent turmoil near the ghost pool.

"Alas...... If according to what Brother Wang said, Xiaobi will eliminate half of the disciples in three years, and there will be only thirty of the more than sixty people here in the end?" Thinking of this, Shi Dong couldn't help but be frightened, and secretly looked at the people around him with his eyes to see who would be left in the end?

I saw Zhu Ke'er, Tan Shaohua and other first-class disciples standing at the forefront, but they didn't see Lei Hao's figure, which made him secretly surprised, could it be that Lei Hao was not in Yunwu Peak?

When he was surprised, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and a person walked in quickly.

Shi Dong quietly looked back, and saw Lei Hao walking in with his head held high, following the second senior brother Bai Jin beside him.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Lei Hao's head was raised higher, his eyes revealed absolute confidence, and Bai Jin behind him had an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, this little rooster is not in the right state! Could it be that he knows the purpose of today's gathering and has been prepared for it?" Shi Dong muttered secretly.

Suddenly, I heard Uncle Cong coughing on the high platform, and said: "The three-year small comparison is coming, and the ancestor will announce it!"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of yellow sheet paper from his sleeve, unfolded it with a bang, and pasted it on the stone wall on the high platform, on which were written a few lines the size of a fist with an ink pen, so that after everyone read it, they couldn't help but let out a burst of inhalation, and their faces became surprised.
