Chapter 42: Missing (Part 1)

There were two spirit stones on the table, a white jade bottle that was about an inch big, and there were ten 'Gathering Spirit Pills' in the jade bottle, Xie Ling put the yellow-green pill in front of him, and a fragrance came to his nose, he thought about it, and still put it back in the bottle, it was just a waste to take it before he got the fourth layer of 'Water Spirit Formula'.

The 'Gathering Spirit Pill' is made from several kinds of spirit grasses that can be refined and cultivated, compared to the spirit stones, the refining and absorption time is relatively slow, with Xie Ling's current cultivation, it can be refined completely in about two or three days.

The pill is made of spirit grass, if it is not refined completely, leaving residue is not only a waste, but also will form erysipelas in the body over time, so the Cangyue Sect's ration of the intermediate apprentice-level pill every month is a bottle of ten, which is just enough for a month.

With such a generous treatment all of a sudden, Xie Ling's state of mind would be affected to some extent, put away the two things, he took a deep breath, and after breathing for a quarter of an hour, he waited for Peng Bai's mood to calm down before he began to cultivate the second layer of the 'Nian Shen Technique'.

Early the next morning, Xie Ling arrived at the sacrificial room, as a newcomer, the attitude he should have was a must. The real sacrificial room is actually at the bottom of the courtyard, and I don't know what method Cangyue Sect used to build a chessboard-like underground palace a few zhang deep underground, during which the passages are criss-crossed, and along both sides of the passage are small square stone houses, roughly equivalent to the house where Xie Ling lives, hundreds of them.

Group C is in the innermost part of the underground palace, occupying thirty-six small stone houses, and all the disciples in the sacrificial refining room are below to sacrifice and refine the magic weapons, one for each person, and receive the yuan embryo that needs to be sacrificed that day in the material hall in the center of the underground palace, and the yuan embryo sacrifice must be delivered clearly when leaving, regardless of whether the refining is completed or not. The monthly task is the same as the gravel field, divided into basic tasks and excess tasks, and completing the basic tasks can get the monthly quota and contribution point rewards in the sect, if you want to earn more contribution points, you need to apply for excess tasks.

Senior Sister Jingyi personally took him to the underground palace today, and after introducing the people in the underground palace in Group C, she took him to the central material hall, because Xie Ling had just arrived, and this month's task was half of the other people in Group C, a total of twenty flying swords that had been sacrificed and forbidden by the three clouds.

"This is your room, just turn the wooden sign on the door upside down when the room needs to be cleaned. Senior Sister Jingyi pointed to a small red wooden sign hanging on the wooden door.

Xie Ling nodded, he noticed that every stone house had a vent, followed Senior Sister Jingyi into it, and saw that in addition to a few futons on the ground, there was only one low table, and there was water and fruits on the low table, and there was a bamboo basket next to it.

Senior Sister Jingyi leaned over and touched the futon on the ground with her hand, her expression was very strange, she stood up halfway, and smiled at Xie Ling: "I have been here for three years, and every time I come over, I will feel something and make you smile." ”

"How come, Senior Sister is affectionate and sexual, she is a role model for my generation!" Xie Ling said respectfully.

"You can talk, okay, the sacrificial room is still relatively relaxed, except for the time when you have to be here, you can arrange it yourself at other times, you don't have a team leader in Group C for the time being, just come to me directly if you have anything." Senior Sister Jingyi said.

"I see—" Xie Ling bowed down to see Jingyi off, looking back at the quadrangular hut, it was really many times better than the dusty gravel field.

He closed the door of the house, sat cross-legged on the futon on the ground, and took out a sword embryo that he had received in the material hall and placed it on the low table in front of him. This is a sword embryo refined from a mouthful of refined copper, and its quality is a little higher than the 'little black' in his arms, if he completes the task of twenty mouths this month, he will receive a basic task reward of forty contribution points.

Forty contribution points! This is still a reward for completing only half of the task, if he completes the full task like other disciples, he will receive eighty contribution points, which is simply unimaginable in the gravel field! No wonder Hao Mingli sharpened his head and wanted to drill into the fire refining room, the gap was really outrageous!

Xie Ling carefully examined the Yuan Embryo and found no problems, so he decided to start the cultivation process. At the beginning, it only took him more than an hour to refine 'Xiao Hei' during the assessment of the senior office, and the quality of this refined copper sword weapon embryo is good, which means that the difficulty and time of the sacrifice will increase, and if you have a sense of what Cheng dù is, you can only try it first.

As expected, it took Xie Ling three hours to be able to be sacrificed, and his spiritual power was almost exhausted, if he wanted to practice again, it would be impossible to meditate and cultivate without several hours. He said in his heart, if he completed the full task like other disciples at the beginning of this month, he estimated that he would really be a little overwhelmed!

However, he also found that after pranayama and rejuvenating his vitality, his own abundant spiritual power seemed to be more solidified than before, and although the change was not big, he could really feel it.

Under normal circumstances, the amount of spiritual power is relatively equal to one's own cultivation, and no matter how hard a minor monk in the fifth or sixth level of Qi cultivation period is, if he can't break through the bottleneck and go up, then the spiritual power can only be so much, and it is useless to eat as much as the 'Gathering Spirit Pill'. Just like a container, if it is full, it cannot be filled again, unless the container is enlarged, or the contents are poured out and compressed to a smaller size, it is all in vain.

And now Xie Ling felt that after the spiritual power in his body had been tempered, compressed, and solidified, some space had been freed up, and this space could re-adopt the spiritual energy and transform it into spiritual power in his body.

It was only in the evening that Xie Ling came out of his room, and at this time, there were also people walking around in the passage outside, and for the sake of safety, the walls of each room were arranged with extremely powerful prohibitions, which could not only block the accident due to the sacrifice, but also play a role in blocking the divine consciousness and ensuring personal privacy.

"Senior Brother Xie—"

Xie Ling, who was about to go to the material hall to deliver the goods, stopped, and turned around to see Shu Zichun and another young man he didn't know.

"Senior Brother Shu—" Xie Ling hurriedly bowed and said.

"Brother from the same sect, don't be polite, how about it, are you still used to it here?" Shu Zichun walked over and looked very concerned.

"It's okay, I'm about to go to the material hall for delivery. Xie Ling didn't know what he was looking for, but since the other party was the person in charge of Group B, he did a very good job in terms of etiquette.

"Senior Brother Xie was really personally selected by the homeowner, and he entered the state so quickly. Shu Zichun said this, turned around and said to the young man beside him: "Senior Brother Yao, you have a strong reinforcement in Group C!" He suddenly remembered something, and turned to Xie Ling and said: "By the way, I forgot to introduce to you, this is Senior Brother Yao Di of your Group C, I have been absent from leave for the past two days, and I just came back from the field, you haven't seen it yet!"

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Yao Di, and Senior Brother Xie Ling gave Senior Brother a gift. Xie Lingjian didn't expect that the other party was Yao Di, one of the three senior apprentices in Group C, and hurriedly bowed to him.

Yao Di just nodded slightly, his expression was very arrogant and cold, and he said to Shu Zichun: "Didn't you make an appointment with Senior Brother Zhong? It's not too late now, let's go." In his eyes, Xie Ling on the other side was just an intermediate-level instrument disciple, and such a disciple had a lot of them in the refining room.

"yes! Shu Zichun signaled to Xie Ling, and left with Yao Di.

Xie Ling saw them go away, so he continued to go to the material hall, Shu Zichun's trick just now was very clumsy, it was nothing more than trying to create a contradiction between him and Yao Di, Xie Ling shook his head, he spent all his thoughts on this, no wonder he was also a high-level apprentice, Senior Sister Jingyi was going to press him!

When he arrived at the material hall, there were already many people in the delivery formalities, and Xie Ling was in the back, waiting for the tea before it was his turn.

The person in charge of the delivery was a high-level apprentice, he carefully inspected the sword weapon that Xie Ling had refined, nodded and smiled: "Yes, Senior Brother Xie can do this kind of Cheng for the first time, it's really jealous!"

"Senior Brother Chen's praise!" Xie Ling said humbly.

"Have you seen Senior Brother Yao from your Group C?" said Senior Brother Chen as he recorded.

"I've just seen it. ”

"He's a sincere man! Okay, you still have nineteen tasks this month, don't rush to complete them, slow work and meticulous work, and it won't hurt to lay a solid foundation. ”

"Thank you Senior Brother for your advice!" Xie Ling was a little stunned, this Senior Brother Chen had only met once when Senior Sister Jingyi brought him here in the morning, how could he be so enthusiastic about himself, especially when he specifically talked about Yao Di, saying that he was a sincere person, that is, he had no heart, this kind of person was the most easily fooled by others and did unbelievable things.

When Xie Ling left the dungeon with questions, it was already dark outside. He unfolded his divine sense, saw that there was no one left and right, ignored the prohibition of any sect, and sacrificed 'Xiao Hei' to his stone house.

He doesn't think that he is a person who follows the rules, otherwise he would not steal the leaves of the camphor tree, and he would not hide the 'dragon stone' privately, the rules of the Xie family had bound him for more than ten years, and he didn't want to be restrained anymore.

The wind blew through his ears, and the mood of being stuffy in the ground for a day was finally released, and at this moment he thought of Zhang Meng, strange, he swore that it was definitely not because of the 'water spirit trick'. He didn't go straight back, but went to the creek behind the stone house.

The stream is murmuring, and it is still the same place as before, but the handsome young man who was originally sitting on the rock is gone! Xie Ling has a feeling of emptiness and loneliness, and softly hums the song of 'Moonlight Night', and his voice is full of indescribable feelings echoing over the stream.

Thirty zhang away, Zhang Meng looked back at the direction of the stream, and the black-clothed man beside him urged: "Let's go! He hasn't returned yet, what I promised has been done, don't do anything that will disgrace the family!"

"Third uncle, can't I see him again?" Zhang Meng pleaded.

"He doesn't even know who you are, what's the point of meeting? Besides, you've been there too, and he's not there, it's providence. "Humanity in black.

Zhang Meng's tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, yes! He didn't even know who he was, what was he doing this for?
