Chapter 146: Between Earth and Fire

Lin Quan's nine people stood on the ground and looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

At this time, Shao Zhong, who had just exited the hall, walked in again. He said lightly: "Senior brothers, today is the first day you have entered the puppet hall, so I have no task assigned to you. But for the rest of the time, you have to choose your own ashram and earth fire room with me, and the rest of the time is up to you. ”

"Yes, brother. ”

Under Shao Zhong's leadership, Lin Quan's nine people first became familiar with the distribution in the puppet hall. Then each of them picked a separate ashram in the apse. After everyone had chosen a room, Shao Zhong took out the nine-sided forbidden disc from the storage bag and distributed it. Lin Quan paid attention to it, the style of these nine-sided forbidden discs was exactly the same, but the number markings on each side were different. For example, the disc that Lin Quan obtained was engraved with the word "fifty-six", which was exactly the same as the number of the ashram he had just chosen.

"This is the private ashram of your acolyte. Due to the special nature of our puppet hall, every ashram here is specially made. Not only are these ashrams particularly fortitive, but they also have multiple barriers that can effectively block out sound and psychic effects. Therefore, whether you are cultivating or assembling a puppet inside, you will not be disturbed in the slightest. Moreover, there is only one side of the forbidden disc that opens these quiet rooms, once you close the door from the inside, even the Ning Dan Stage Masters will not be able to forcibly open it from the outside. In addition, this forbidden disc is also the key to open the same number of earth fire room, so the forbidden disc in your hand must be properly kept. After everyone got the forbidden disc, Shao Zhong explained in detail what needs to be paid attention to.

"The quiet room with such a strong defense ban?Senior Brother Shao, I don't know if we can give it a try?" Senior Brother Hou is worthy of being familiar with himself, and Shao Zhong just finished speaking, he was a little impatient.

"Yes. There's still plenty of time to give it a try now and see what is missing in your ashram. As for the method of opening the prohibition, it is inscribed on the back of the disc. Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Shao Zhong agreed very understandingly.

The secret of controlling the prohibition was not complicated, and the nine people of Lin Quan quickly learned it with a little figurative thinking, and in a short time, all the doors of the ashram were opened. Everyone couldn't wait to get into their rooms.

Lin Quan was no exception and went into his room to take a look. The independent ashram used by this kind of acolyte disciple is not large, and it is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. They are for the rest of the monks and for the purpose of tasks. Since each ashram was well stocked, no one asked for anything extra.

After choosing the quiet room, Lin Quan's nine people, under the leadership of Shao Zhong, went deep into the underground of more than 30 zhang below the main hall, which was where the fire room of the puppet hall was located.

"There are a total of 60 fire chambers in the main hall, and each of them is used in the same way. Now I'm going to show you how. Shao Zhong said as he came to a door with two big characters engraved with "fifteen".

"Yes, Senior Brother Shao. "Lin Quan's nine people should be repeatedly, of course, it is a good thing to have a senior brother to teach him personally.

"Hmm. This 'fifteenth' is Shao's earth and fire room, you all come in. ”

Shao Zhong nodded, reached out and took out his forbidden disc and shot a spiritual trick at the door. After the door opened, everyone followed Shao Zhong to this earth fire room.

The area of this ground fire room is not large or small, it is a rectangular building seven or eight zhang long and four or five zhang wide. In the middle, there is a semicircular gray black stone platform protruding from the ground, and there are four unicorn heads carved lifelike on this round platform made of gray black rock. On the left and right sides of the round platform are ten small jade bottles and ten fiery red gourds. In the corner not far away, there is also a stone case and a futon.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this round platform made of gray black rock in the middle is the mouth of the earth's fire. The four unicorn heads above are the magic weapon vents for ignition and fire control. When you need the earthfire, you can control it through a special fire control formula, which is engraved on the stone wall. But I want to remind you that you can only use the main vent in the middle, and don't move the three on the side. You must know that when the four Qilin vents erupt at the same time, their power is stronger than the Samadhi True Fire of an ordinary Condensation Stage monk, and if you don't have the same spiritual sense as a Condensation Stage Monk, don't try it casually. Moreover, the instrument tripod issued by the main hall is just an ordinary instrument tripod, and it cannot withstand the training of that kind of flame at all. ”

Shao Zhong first explained the situation of the four unicorn spouts, and then pointed to the jade bottle and gourd on the side and said, "This small jade bottle is called 'Jade Pure Bottle'. It is a primary space Sumeru ritual vessel specially used to store spiritual spring water. Whether it is cleaning the pot or cooling the minerals, a large amount of spiritual spring water is used. As for the red gourds, they are called 'Red Flame Gourds'. They contain a large amount of 'red flame oil'. Sometimes you can use it if you need to increase your firepower for a short time. ”

Soon Shao Zhong explained the general situation of the earth and fire room, and finally Shao Zhong personally used the fire control spirit technique to demonstrate the actual control method of the earth fire vent. It wasn't until the nine Lin Quan people were completely familiar with each other that he took everyone out of the Earthfire Room.

After returning to his quiet room, Lin Quan's heart could not be calmed for a long time.

Previously, he had just had a conversation with the self-acquainted Senior Brother Hou. This Senior Brother Hou didn't know whether he was too enthusiastic or couldn't stand the loneliness, and when he learned that Lin Quan didn't know anything about the puppet hall's mission, he immediately pulled Lin Quan to chat. It wasn't until more than an hour later that Lin Quan was still unfinished and left.

Through Senior Brother Hou's detailed introduction, Lin Quan knew that this puppet hall task was simply a garbage task that many old disciples could not avoid. Admittedly, the contribution value given by this task is good, but no amount of contribution value can only be obtained after completing a large number of tedious tasks. If you can get those 800 contribution points by working hard for two years without cultivating and concentrating on completing tasks, I believe that some B-level disciples who have reached the eleventh level and above will still be willing to give it a try. However, the most criticized thing is that among the nine acolyte disciples recruited by the puppet hall each time, only the two disciples who completed the task best could get the 800 contribution points, and the remaining seven were completely hard laborers. For two years, you can only get a small amount of contribution points and some spirit stones at most, and even some people who are passive and slack off will be punished. As a result, almost no one in the entire Purple Void Gate was willing to voluntarily accept this task. In the end, Ma Zhiyuan, who was in charge of the deacon's hall, was forced to make up the number of these nine people every time by coaxing the ignorant disciples who were new to the entrance and drawing strong men, and whoever was drawn among all the old disciples would be unlucky.

In addition, Lin Quan also asked why Shao Zhong would take away everyone's carry-on storage bags. After getting Senior Brother Hou's explanation, he realized that because of the special situation of the puppet hall, every disciple would come into contact with a large number of high-quality refining materials when they were on a two-year mission, and in order not to cause misunderstanding, the puppet hall would set such rules. As long as the two years are over, the puppet hall will return the identity jade talisman and storage bag of each acolyte disciple as it is. This regulation made Lin Quan's heart move, and it was naturally impossible for others to fight the idea of those materials without storage bags. But Lin Quan is different, his Tai Chi space is not limited in any way.

..................

The next day, Lin Quan and the others came to the hall where they met Master Li on the first day early in the morning. The crane-haired old man Li Hall Master also entered the hall not long after. Seeing that Lin Quan's nine people were very punctual, Uncle Li nodded and said a light "um". Then he threw out nine storage bags and distributed them to everyone.

"Since you are an acolyte disciple, then of course you have to start with the most basic task of the puppet hall. Today happens to be the second day of the first month of the month, and in the two months from now, each of you must refine thirty pieces of "Ten Refining" refined iron according to my requirements. For the few people who have done the best tasks, the old man will take the time to personally instruct his puppet in refining skills. As for the consequences of bad people, you should have known for a long time. Now you can go down. After finishing speaking, Uncle Li flicked his sleeves again and left in a hurry, completely ignoring the nine Lin Quan people who looked sluggish.
