Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Outer Gate Mission
Hearing the cold drink of Long Qianli, Bai Yi in the room shook his head helplessly, pushed the door and walked out.
Bai Yi didn't expect that this smiling tiger ridge Qianli would be so small-bellied, and he even had to worry about who to send to complete the task.
"Hehe, you are Jiang Dachuan's uncle?"
Although Lang Qianli was smiling, there seemed to be a knife hidden in that smile, and he looked very cold, worthy of the nickname of the smiling tiger.
"Okawa is my old friend, and he can barely be regarded as my junior. ”
Facing the deacon of Ruyun Valley, Bai Yi would not reveal his specialness, deliberately showed a flustered demeanor, and replied respectfully.
"Humph!"
Seeing that Bai Yi's attitude was quite humble, Lang Qianli snorted coldly and said: "You remember for me, this is the Cloud Valley, not a place for you to climb relatives, always thinking about stealing and playing tricks, get out of me as soon as possible, Cangyun Sect is not a place to raise idlers!"
After the reprimand, Long Qianli ordered Bai Yi and Gao Ren to replace the two outer disciples selected by Jiang Dachuan, and then strode away proudly and walked towards another residential area.
Walking through the residential areas around the lawn, three disciples were selected from each residential area, and in a short time, there were already dozens of outer disciples behind him, most of whom were mortal disciples who had just entered the outer gate a few days ago.
Bringing these disciples to a tall wooden house, Lang Qianli sneered: "This time the outer gate task is 'cutting skins', according to the area of residence, divided into groups of three, each group needs to cut hundreds of animal skins to complete the task, the time limit is one day, if you can't complete the task, don't want to be lazy and cheat, if you can't cut it in one day, cut it for me for two days and three days, and cut a hundred pieces to go back." ”
The rules that Ridge Qianli talked about are already very clear, this mission has a time limit of one day, and if the task is not completed, it will not be accumulated to the total number of tasks in their respective residential areas, but even if the task is not completed, don't want to fool the past, each group has to cut enough 100 sheets to leave.
After it is completed, it is counted as a task accumulation, and if it is not completed, it is necessary to cut a hundred animal skins, this kind of task is not at all beneficial to the outer disciples in the residential area, even if it accumulates a hundred tasks, the spirit stones obtained are also the strongest in each residential area, and the other disciples are free coolies at all.
Those disciples who had just entered the outer gate didn't feel much when they heard this strange task, but there were still more than a dozen old disciples in the early stage of Qi refining in the crowd, and when they heard that it was a skin-cutting task, they immediately showed bitter expressions, as if this task was very difficult.
"The specific rules, you will understand when you go in. Ridge Qianli sneered: "Listen to me, the size of the cut animal skin is not allowed to be wrong by half a point, it is a demon beast skin used to make talismans, and one is destroyed, I will let you not eat it and walk around for me!"
After drinking hard, Long Qianli flicked his sleeves and left alone, the old disciples walked to the big house with sad faces, and the new disciples also followed in curiously.
Hearing the demon beast skin of the talisman, Bai Yi understood the purpose of this mission, and followed the people into the big house in a good time.
In the middle of the wooden house, next to the walls of the wooden house, there were heavy wooden tables, each with three short knives and a pile of animal skins, and in the center of the wooden house, there was a half-human-high wooden plaque that recorded the origin of the animal skins and the detailed dimensions that needed to be cut.
Gao Ren picked a wooden table, pinched the animal skin on the table, and said in surprise: "What kind of skin is this, it is softer and tougher than the best fox fur!"
"The skin of the first-level demon beast snowmane wolf. The old disciple in the same group as Gao Ren Bai Yi said with a sad face: "Don't look at this snow-maned wolf skin is soft, but the toughness is excellent, the disciples in the early stage of qi refining are difficult to cut, and the disciples who have not cultivated the spiritual energy, if you cut three or five pieces, you will have blood blisters on your hands, and the smiling tiger is going to give you new disciples a dismount." ”
"Is it difficult to cut?" Gao Ren picked up the short knife on the table and was about to start.
"You slow down!" The old disciple was startled, hurriedly stopped, and said: "This is a demon animal skin, not an ordinary fur, if one is cut, we will have to be stripped of a layer of skin by the smiling tiger, you two look at me first, learn to take your time, anyway, we can't complete the task in one day, stay up for two or three days, just cut a hundred animal skins." ”
After saying that, the old disciple poured the spiritual energy in his body into the short knife and began to cut it carefully.
After a full quarter of an hour, the old disciple finally cut a three-inch wide and five-inch long animal skin, and then let out a big breath, put down the short knife and rested, this kind of skin cutting task that not only needs to run the aura but also needs to be highly concentrated at the mental moment, even the disciples in the early stage of qi refining can't do it continuously, and they need to rest for a long time after cutting a piece.
Seeing the old disciple's very laborious appearance, Gao Ren began to do it angrily, but he tried his best to cut it for a long time, leaving only a small gap in the animal skin, and did not even cut out a knife.
Flipping the short knife on the table, Bai Yi confirmed that this short knife was a low-level magic weapon, sharper than the Feilu Sword, and it was a tool specially used to cut animal skins.
Urging the aura in his body, after Bai Yi lightly slashed a few times, a piece of animal skin was easily cut out, seeing that he cut off the animal skin so easily, the old disciple who was resting suddenly exclaimed: "Aura! You have cultivated aura!"
Looking at the other party's surprised appearance, Bai Yi just nodded and prepared to continue cutting.
This kind of task of cutting animal skins is laborious for ordinary disciples in the early stage of qi refining, and they need to be very focused on running the spiritual energy in their bodies to control the short knife, because the use of animal skins is to make talismans, and the size is not allowed to be half a point wrong, otherwise it will be waste.
"Wait, wait!"
The old disciple was not yet surprised, and when he found that Bai Yi was still going to use the knife, he immediately turned white with fright, and hurriedly rushed forward, carefully measured the animal skin cut out by Bai Yi, and then became even more surprised.
"Not only did you cultivate the aura in four days, but you are also so skilled in controlling the aura, you ......"
This old disciple had never seen an outer disciple who had accurately cut out a piece of animal skin with a few knives, and looking at Bai Yi's technique, even the outer disciple in the middle stage of qi refining was unmatched, and asked in confusion for a while: "You, before you entered the outer gate, you were a tailor, right?"
Bai Yi smiled, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Good eyesight." ”
"No wonder, if it weren't for the tailor's background, who would have cut it so accurately, it turns out that Senior Brother Okawa's uncle used to be a tailor. The old disciple muttered to himself.
Ignoring the old disciple who was talking to himself, Bai Yi cut out another animal skin, then put down the short knife, sat aside and rested, not that he couldn't continue, but he didn't want to attract attention, otherwise, Bai Yi could easily cut out a hundred animal skins at a time.
This task of cutting animal skins is actually a test of the accuracy of the disciples' use of the aura in their bodies, only those who are extremely skilled in the operation of the aura can more easily cut out the correct size of the animal skin, with Bai Yi's control of the aura, it does not take a day to cut out a hundred animal skins, half an hour is enough.
Gao Ren found that Bai Yi cut it very easily, so he simply didn't cut it, and sat beside Bai Yi with a hippie smile, chatting about the world, which was called next to the big tree to enjoy the shade.
From morning to dusk, only three groups of outer disciples in the wooden house barely completed the task, and some of the disciples in the other groups did not even finish cutting half of them, especially those new disciples, who were almost full of blood blisters.
Gao Ren saw that Bai Yi had cut the last animal skin, cheered, and ran out of the wooden house first, although he didn't do anything, but it was enough to hold back for a day, Bai Yi walked out with the old disciple in the same group with a relaxed demeanor.
As soon as Bai Yi and the three of them left, a new disciple with a long face at the next table suddenly rolled his eyes, discussed in a low voice with the two people in the same group as him, and secretly took off a leather jacket in his gray robe, cut it into some small pieces very quickly, mixed it with the original dozen or so animal skins, and then quietly dropped a bag with the hundred animal skins on Bai Yi's table, and when all this was done, the three newcomers chuckled strangely and left the wooden house one after another.
