Chapter 321: New Provisions
Under Wu Huaiyuan's warm greeting, Lin Quan stepped forward with a smile and talked to him casually.
Since he no longer has to worry about being seen by the third girl, now he doesn't have to rush to figure out the reason why they are exploring his secrets, anyway, the future will be long.
It didn't take long for the four powerful aura to descend, and the figures of the four Ning Dan Ancestors appeared on the main seat at the same time.
"I think the identities of the four of us are very clear to all the teachers and nephews, so the old man won't say much here. ”
After the four ancestors sat down, three of them were all disinterested, and they closed their eyes without saying a word.
The last red-robed old man with short blue hair and a wide mouth with a lion nose was a little helpless, and he suddenly said loudly after looking around.
"Juniors and others welcome the four seniors!"
Hearing this, all the condensate monks present stood up in unison and bowed respectfully to the four old men.
Of course, the people who were able to come to Black Rock City had inquired about the information of the sixteen Ning Dan Ancestors who were stationed here early in the morning.
Generally speaking, the sixteen Ning Dan Ancestors would be divided into four batches, and each group of four people would take turns in the daily affairs of Black Rock City. The other twelve elders are in retreat and meditate, and they will never show up easily unless they encounter major incidents.
The four elders on duty are one from each of the Three Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm, and then one from the Dajin Kingdom, so that all affairs can be better coordinated.
"Wait for the courtesy!"
The blue-haired old man waved his hand, and then said:
"Liao Moutian is a member of the Black Rock City Council of Elders, and the main purpose of being here today is to arrange for you to clean up the ghosts. In addition, there are several important news and decisions to be announced, and you will hear them all clearly to the old man!"
Important news and decisions? And how many more?
Almost all of the condensate monks were stunned, their eyes full of doubt and uneasiness.
Lin Quan also saw a look of shock in the eyes of Mo Bingyue and Wu Huaiyuan, obviously no one knew about this decision in advance.
As far as they knew, they hadn't heard of any important news or decisions from the previous years of training in Black Rock City, and they were usually left by the members of the Council of Elders to formulate their respective tasks, distribute special magic weapons, and disperse.
Feeling bad in their hearts, everyone stared at the old man surnamed Liao with solemn expressions and listened attentively.
The news and decision that could make Ning Dan Ancestor so solemn is definitely not a trivial matter, it is likely to be related to the situation in the Ghost King Palace, which is a major matter directly related to his own life.
"Ahem...... All of you are elites from all walks of life, so you don't need to be so nervous. ”
The old man surnamed Liao first coughed lightly to ease the atmosphere, and then said with a solemn face:
"First of all, the important news that the old man wants to say is that the seal in the deep layer of the 'Bone Cave' has been loosened, especially in the past five months, a large number of ghost pawn-level bone shelves have poured into the sixth or fourth floor of the Ghost King Palace......"
Speaking of this, the old man surnamed Liao deliberately paused so that everyone could have time to digest this important news.
"What, after the 'Soul Cave' and the 'Blood Prison', has the deep seal of the 'Bone Cave' finally been loosened?"
"In this case, wouldn't the task that we have to bear in Black Rock City be heavier again!"
"What about the 'Cavern'? The next news doesn't mean that there have been changes in the Cavern, right?"
............
Sure enough, after hearing this shocking news, everyone below couldn't help it anymore, and they all couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamations, and then they didn't care that there were still four Ning Dan Ancestors present, and they all exchanged heads and talked about the people who knew each other around them.
Lin Quan and the others' faces also became quite ugly.
Judging from this news alone, it is not difficult for anyone with a bit of brains to see that the tasks of their group of experienced practitioners will inevitably increase by one-third out of thin air. In this way, in order to complete the task, they may not only have to take on more dangers, but they may also have to spend a lot of time on training.
If it was just to add some clean-up tasks, Lin Quan wouldn't be too worried.
After all, they had only just advanced to the condensation liquid, and the main task of coming to the Ghost King Hall was to go down to the fourth layer and remove as many ghost-level ghosts as possible that were also equivalent to the early stage of the condensation.
In the face of ghosts of the same level, it is not too difficult for Lin Quan, who has a lot of hole cards and has also cultivated the "Heavenly Demon Floating Slaughter Technique". As long as you are careful, there will never be any accidents if you don't get trapped by a large number of ghosts.
What's more, long before the advanced condensation, Mo Bingyue had agreed with him at the cost of two Spirit Condensation Pills to clear out the ghosts. Although in front of her, her puppet and many magic weapons were inconvenient to use, but in exchange for the joint efforts of a disciple of Elder Ning Dan, it would only be profitable.
What really worries him is whether the Council of Elders will extend the time of the experience.
He was bent on immortality, but he never thought of living in a ghost place like Black Rock City for a long time, let alone killing ghosts and protecting the safety of others.
According to his original plan, when he finished the one-year Ghost King Hall training mission, he would immediately return to the Purple Void Gate, and then enter the Earth Fire Room to refine a large number of "Jade Spirit Pills" and "Blood Evil Pills", and then concentrate on retreat, striving to advance to the middle stage of condensation as soon as possible.
"Ladies and nephews, please don't be impatient!"
After only a dozen breaths, the old man surnamed Liao interrupted everyone, and then announced:
"Therefore, we, the Council of Elders, have unanimously decided to extend your training time by one to three years from today, and the specific time limit will be divided according to the contribution value of your killing ghosts. ”
"Within two years, anyone who can kill ghosts and earn a contribution that meets the requirements of the Council of Elders will stay for themselves, and those who can't meet the requirements will of course have to add another two years to the mission! And no one can leave the Blackstone Valley for any reason during the entire training period!"
"In addition, within two years of the first round, all of you will be divided into three groups, and they will enter the Bone Cave, the Soul Cave, and the Blood Prison to clear out the ghosts. Then rotate every eight months. ”
"As for the new contribution criteria, they will be distributed to each other in a moment. Now, do you have any questions?"
Hearing such a new standard, except for the Righteous Qi Academy, the Evil Ghost Dao, and some people who majored in Yin Attribute Exercises, who pouted indifferently, almost most of the Condensate Cultivators all turned gloomy and were in an extremely unhappy mood.
There is no way, this place in Black Rock City is full of yin qi and ghost qi, and ordinary monks will not only be unable to cultivate here, but will be greatly affected. What is even more worrying is that once you have been injured, it will be very difficult to recover, and you may have some aftermath that will affect your future practice.
Originally, it was barely able to survive a year, but now it can be done, the mutation of the "bone hole" has doubled everyone's training time, and the Council of Elders has also formulated a new contribution system. It is conceivable that if you are unable to complete the mission due to lack of strength or accidental injury, you will have to stay in Blackstone City for four years, which is unbearable for all the newly promoted condensate monks who are dedicated to the path.
"Uncle Liao, I wonder if the juniors are still allowed to complete this experience in a team?"
After a long silence, a condensation monk from the Dajin Kingdom first raised a question that most people were concerned about.
"You're the Xu family's nephew, right?"
The old man surnamed Liao obviously knew this rising star from his country, and replied in the affirmative very kindly.
"Of course, after all, eradicating ghosts is only one of the purposes, the main thing is to let you have more experience, the Council of Elders has no intention of making you cannon fodder." ”
But then he added: "But because there is an extra bone hole this time, in order to distribute the manpower as evenly as possible, from this time on, we can only work in groups of two at most." ”
"Of course, once you encounter some tricky ghost creatures below, other disciples nearby can also join forces temporarily if they are willing. However, the contribution value obtained from killing ghosts is up to you to negotiate and settle it yourself. ”
"Thank you Uncle Liao for your advice. "This monk surnamed Xu of the Dajin Kingdom is very satisfied.
Lin Quan and Mo Bingyue glanced at each other, and their hearts were also relieved.
In fact, for some powerful people, a team of two is the most suitable.
Especially this time it is also related to the distribution of contribution points, although it is safer to have too many people, but the relative contribution value obtained is also less, in case you can't get enough contribution points within two years, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse.
"Senior Liao, what is the current number of ghosts in the fifth layer of the bone cave? Also, when did this bone cave mutation first start?"
Immediately afterwards, a young man in a black shirt with a hoarse voice stood up.
"This must be the sand master nephew of the Evil Ghost Dao, you have good courage, you dare to hit the idea on those mid-stage ghost pawns on the fifth layer!"
The old man surnamed Liao smiled, "How many skeletons are there on the fifth floor at present, in fact, the old man doesn't know very well, he can only say that there are a lot of them, if you are not afraid of falling, you can go in and see for yourself." ”
"As for the earliest time when the bone cave was mutated, it was about two and a half years ago. Because at that time, only a very small number of late-stage ghost pawns broke the seal and entered the sixth layer, so the specific date is no longer verifiable. ”
"Thank you Liao seniors for your advice, the juniors understand. ”
With two role models in front of him, several condensate monks with considerable strength or status stood up and asked some questions that they cared about. The old man surnamed Liao also took the trouble to answer them one by one.
After no one had any doubts, Elder Liao ordered everyone to form a team freely, and then divided the more than 100 condensate cultivators present into three groups according to the reported list, and formulated the rotation rules.
In the end, two special magic weapons and a jade slip were issued to each of them, and they floated away with the other three elders who had not said a word from beginning to end.
Lin Quan fiddled with it casually and found that the jade slips mainly recorded the maps that had been discovered on the various floors of the Ghost King's Palace, as well as some important precautions. The two special ritual objects are a jet-black bead and a black and white jade plate.
Jet-black beads are called "induction beads".
After going deep into the Ghost King's Palace, once you encounter danger, you can use your spiritual power to activate your own induction beads, and if there are other people nearby, you can sense it, and whether you are willing to help is completely arbitrary, and the Council of Elders does not make it mandatory.
The black and white jade plate is called the "Yin Yang Plate".
The depths of the Ghost King Hall were pitch black and there were countless forks in the road, and the most important thing was that the thick yin qi and ghost qi could greatly limit the spiritual sense of the monks. Therefore, even if you have a map, it is easy to get lost in it, and this jade plate can help the monk to discern the general direction and not get lost in the dark cave.
