According to the information given to them by the elders of the Dan Realm before departure, there are two ways for the recruited immortal cultivators to obtain freedom. One is to kill five cultivators of the same level and one cultivator who is one level higher than themselves.
The other is to accumulate enough merit points to offset the former condition.
Of course, usually, if you want to accumulate enough merit points, the level of difficulty will not be easier than the first condition.
The merit value of a monk of the same level is 10,000, five is 50,000, and the merit value of a cultivator of a higher realm is 100,000, but don't think about accumulating merit points by killing monks of the same level.
First of all, there is no merit value for killing people from the Bone Race who are lower than one's own level. The other is to kill monks of the same level. For the first five, every time one person is killed, the merit value will be increased by 10,000, and if it exceeds five,
Then it will be directly reduced to one thousand merit points per person. If you kill five more, it will be reduced again to one hundred merit points per person.
Therefore, it is simply impossible to gain freedom by killing enemies of the same level as yourself.
There is no such restriction when killing enemies that are one level higher than himself. In other words, as long as Xiao Lin can kill two Bone Clan monks in the Void Refining Realm, he can directly accumulate enough merit points to gain freedom.
body.
Unfortunately, such a task is almost impossible to complete. The gap between the cultivators of the Void Realm and those of the Immortal Transformation Realm is very huge, and the comprehension of the power of rules by the Void Realm cultivators is far from that of the Immortal Transformation Realm cultivators.
can be compared.
Although Xiao Lin has practiced several magical powers and has immortal treasures on his body, facing a monk in the early stage of the Void Refining Realm, it is difficult to protect himself, let alone defeat him.
Qingfeng's words were obviously trying to embarrass the three of them. The merit points for obtaining freedom were doubled. For them, this was simply a death sentence for them.
"Brother Xiao, what do you think of this matter?" Gu Yin's voice sounded in Xiao Lin's ears.
Xiao Lin also knew that Qingfeng was obviously targeting them, but the three of them seemed to have no choice. The consequences of not accepting the task were unbearable for them. Looking at Qingfeng's expression, Xiao Lin also understood that the appearance of the Bone Burial Clan
, obviously not simple.
There must be many unknown dangers here, but the three of them have been restrained. Even if they want to run away at this moment, they can't do it, so they can only give it a try.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin sent a message to Gu Yin and expressed his thoughts.
After Gu Yin discussed with Zhu Danyu for a while, he said to Qingfeng with a solemn expression, "We have accepted this task."
"That's right." Qingfeng clapped his hands, his face full of approval.
"But there is something about Qing. I still want to remind the three of you. After accepting the task, there must be a result within a year, otherwise you will be punished." A smile flashed at the corner of Qingfeng's mouth and he said.
After leaving, Xiao Lin and the others started to escape and headed towards Blackpool Lake.
Kurosawa Lake is a lake that covers an area of thousands of miles. The lake is pitch black and is surrounded by mountains. More importantly, there are several spiritual veins under the mountains around Kurosawa Lake, among which Kurosawa is the most important.
The Dragon Spirit Ancestral Vein at the foot of the mountain is the largest, and the remaining ones are high-grade spiritual veins and middle-grade spiritual veins.
These spirit veins are also the most important spirit stone mining veins for the people of the spirit tribe. Around Blackpool Lake, you can see large and small mines almost everywhere. The mined spirit stones will be mined to the spirits every month or so.
Zeshan delivers once.
Xiao Lin and others' spiritual consciousness spread out, and they soon realized that there were only a few Nascent Soul stage guards around Blackpool Lake, and where these people were stationed, it was obvious that powerful formations had been arranged. Even if they were transformed into
Even if the divine monks come to attack, it will be difficult to break through in a short period of time.
As long as there is a buffer time of half an hour, it is enough for the spiritual monks from Lingze Mountain to come to support.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Gu, that Qingfeng definitely has good intentions. I'm afraid this mission won't be that simple." After landing, Zhu Danyu frowned slightly and said.
"Each person will be rewarded with 30,000 merit points, which is equivalent to each of us killing three bone race monks of the same level. This reward alone shows how difficult the task is."
"The key point is that we know nothing about the so-called Bone Burial Clan so far." After a pause, Gu Yin continued with some depression.
Xiao Lin touched his chin, thought for a while, and said: "Now that we have come to Blackpool Lake and accepted the mission, there is no way out. For now, we should just wait and see what happens and investigate first before doing anything.
Decision making?"
"What Brother Xiao said is true. Once you come, you will be safe. Let's settle here first and then search everywhere. After all, there is still a year, which is enough for us to investigate slowly."
After another discussion, the three of them flew straight towards a stone temple on the side of Blackpool Lake near the foot of the mountain.
Soon the three of them arrived at the door of the stone palace. Before they could speak, two people walked out of the stone palace, a man and a woman. They were both short in stature and very ugly in appearance.
When they saw Xiao Lin and others, they both showed respectful expressions and bowed in unison.
"Juniors Yan Qiao and Yan Lu pay their respects to the three seniors."
The realms of these two people can be seen at a glance in front of Xiao Lin and others. Both of them are in the late stage of Nascent Soul. Although they cannot know the realms of Xiao Lin and the others, facing the huge spiritual pressure of the three of them, it is not
Even a fool knows that the cultivation level of the three of them is much higher than theirs.
"Get up, you two are in charge of the Blackpool Lake Mine." Gu Yin asked calmly.
"Senior, our husband and wife are the ones in charge of the Blackpool Lake Mine. Most of the miners in this mine are from our tribe. Every other month, we must hand over a certain amount of spiritual stones. If it is not completed,
We will be punished by the criminal law." That Yan Qiao was obviously an outspoken person, and he explained their difficult situation as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Oh? Are you local slaves?" Gu Yin was slightly stunned and asked in surprise.
When Yan Qiao and his wife heard this, they both showed slumped expressions and nodded in unison. Yan Qiao said: "We, the dwarf earth tribe, are originally a subsidiary race of the spirit tribe. The two of us made a big mistake in our early years and were demoted to slaves. We need to be here in the future."
He served a sentence of five hundred years in this mine, but now it seems that more than two hundred years have passed."
When Xiao Lin heard this, he was also shocked. At the same time, he also remembered what Gu Yin said when chatting with him on the road.
Both the Dwarf Earth Tribe and the Spirit Armor Tribe are affiliated races of the Spirit Tribe. However, the Spirit Armor Tribe is physically strong, and the Spirit Tribe monks are proficient in magic. Therefore, the high-level monks of the Spirit Armor Tribe are still very popular among the Spirit Tribe.
, usually become the guardian of the spiritual monks.
This also makes the Lingjia tribe have a high status among the subordinate races of the Spirit tribe, but the Dwarf Earth tribe is different. The Dwarf Earth tribe has a large number of people, and just like the human race, only a very small number of them can practice.
Compared to the ordinary people of the Dwarf Earth Tribe, their strength and explosive power are much higher than those of the human race.
This resulted in many Dwarf Earth people being arranged to mine by the Spirit Tribe. These ores included spirit stones, and of course many rare metal ores.
As for the Immortal Cultivators among the Dwarf Earth Tribe, except for a very small number, most of them were found by the Spirit Tribe to have them guard the mines and mines in various regions.
Of course, they were all restrained by the Spirit Race people, and it was impossible to escape even if they wanted to.
"The three of us are here to protect your Blackpool Mountain mine. You don't need to be polite. My surname is Gu, this one's surname is Xiao, and that fairy's surname is Zhu. Let me ask you, have you ever seen any of the Bone Burial Clan members?"
"A member of the Bone Burial Clan?" Upon hearing these four words, both of their expressions changed.
"Senior Gu, a few months ago, three monks from the Bone Burial Clan came to cause trouble, but their realm was similar to my wife and I. With the formation here, we were able to barely repel them. However, during the fight, one of the Bone Burial Clan monks came to cause trouble.
A member of the Bone Clan suddenly appeared in front of us through the Earth Escape Technique. My cousin, who happened to be right next to him, was hit on the chest with a hammer, causing his internal organs to shatter. He is still lying there.
Inside the stone palace."
"What about the back? Have you been here before?" Gu Yin asked.
Yan Qiao shook his head: "It's strange to say. Logically speaking, if the Bone Burial Clan has not achieved its goal, it will definitely not give up. The younger generation has also sent a letter to Lingze Mountain asking for help, but has never received a response. The younger generation is worried about the Bone Burial Clan.
A bigger conspiracy is brewing, but the younger generation is too stupid to figure out what their purpose is."
Xiao Lin's spiritual consciousness had already penetrated deep into the stone palace. In a room in the stone palace, there was indeed a dwarf earth tribesman lying with a weak breath. He was obviously the cousin that Yan Qiao mentioned.
"You prepare a place for the three of us to stay first. Let us investigate the purpose of the Bone Burial Clan monks, right?" Seeing that he couldn't figure out the reason, Gu Yin said.
"Uh, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, you three." Yan Qiao then remembered that he was a little rude, and a trace of blush appeared on his dry face, and he said with some embarrassment.
The three of them didn't care and followed him into the stone hall. The stone hall was very spacious and had three floors. The first floor was a main hall with some storage rooms on both sides, which were obviously used to store the materials dug by miners.
Ore and spiritual stones.
The second floor is filled with rooms, as many as a dozen.
Yan Qiao arranged the three quietest rooms for the three of them, but Xiao Lin looked up at the third floor.
Before he could ask, Yan Qiao hurriedly said: "The third floor is reserved for the adults of the Spirit Clan. They may come over for inspection every once in a while. The rooms on the third floor are also specially reserved for them."
When Xiao Lin heard this, he stopped talking. As the ruler of the Northern Territory, the Spirit Clan, the monks in the clan naturally enjoy many privileges.
Just like them, there was no need to get involved originally. It was the Tianmu Clan's assignment. However, they were captured and brought to the battlefield at the border between the Spirit Clan and the Bone Clan due to desperation.
After Xiao Lin, Gu Yin, and Zhu Danyu greeted each other, they entered their rooms.
The room is very clean and tidy, with a stone bed, stone table and stone chairs. The bedding on the stone bed is also clean and fresh. Apparently someone cleans it regularly.
Xiao Lin used his consciousness as usual and searched the entire stone room several times. After making sure that there were no restrictions, he walked to the bed with confidence and sat down cross-legged on the bed.
He stretched out his hand and looked at the mark on his palm, and his expression turned gloomy.
On the way, Xiao Lin used the magic power in his body to impact the mark, trying to break the confinement in his palm. However, every collision would be accompanied by a burst of pain, and the mark on his palm not only did not disappear, but became more and more conspicuous.
Xiao Lin was surprised and immediately stopped.
He then used his spiritual consciousness to sink into the palm of his hand and observed it carefully. This observation allowed him to discover some clues.
It turns out that this mark is actually like some kind of soul power condensed, completely integrated into the flesh and blood of his palm, and cannot be broken unless the palm is cut off.
Moreover, after Xiao Lin's research, he found that even if he cut off his palm, the mark would not necessarily disappear, but would most likely be transferred to other places on his body instantly.
This reminded him of what the Spirit Race monk said. Only by killing five monks of the same level and a Void Refining Realm monk and absorbing their soul power would the flame mark disappear.
"It seems that only by absorbing the soul power of the immortal cultivator can the mark be stimulated and disintegrated, and the absorbed soul power probably needs to be from the Bone Clan cultivator." Xiao Lin murmured to himself.
Of course, if you collect all the merit points, you can go to the main hall in Hongshan City and let the people from the Spirit Clan lift the restriction for him.
Either way, it's not easy.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh.
Whether in the mortal world or the spiritual world, the law of respecting the strong is still followed. Weak races are always bullied, and even being exterminated is not impossible.
The strength of a race mainly depends on the people in the race who stand at the top of the pyramid.
"Dong dong dong~~" At this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
With a glance of his consciousness, Xiao Lin knew that the person coming was Gu Yin.
"Brother Gu, please come in."
With the sound, the stone door was pushed open, and Gu Yin walked in: "Brother Xiao, don't blame me for disturbing you rashly."
"Brother Gu, please sit down." Xiao Lin got out of bed, came to the stone table, and made a gesture of invitation.
After sitting down, Gu Yin's face showed a hesitant expression.
"Brother Gu, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it." Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile and said.
"Brother Xiao, have you noticed that when we were chatting with the two dwarf earth monks earlier, the number of miners coming out of the mine under the surrounding mountain peaks was obviously too few?"
"The number of miners is too small? Miners dig in the mines and there is no timetable for when they will come out. What does Brother Gu mean by this?" Xiao Lin said with some confusion.
"It's very simple. When we were in Lingze Mountain, Gu made a special observation. The miners were coming in and out, and it was very busy. You must know that all the mines in Lingze Mountain were mined by the Dwarf Tu tribe, and this black
Although the quality of the Zehu vein is slightly worse than that of Lingze Mountain, before I came to Brother Xiao, I asked Yan Qiao for a list of miners. Judging from the number of miners on the list, the number of miners entering and exiting the mine now is obviously much smaller.
many."
"Huh? Could it be that these miners are lazy and deliberately stay in the mine?"
"Haha, Brother Xiao may not understand the habits of the Dwarf Tu people. The Dwarf people are simple-minded and never cheat. If this kind of thing happens to other races, Gu would believe it, but if it happens to the Dwarf people,
Gu definitely doesn’t believe it.”
When Xiao Lin heard this, his heart moved, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"What does Brother Gu mean?"
"Yes, I'm afraid half of the miners here have been killed." Gu Yin said with a solemn expression.
