Volume 1: A Sword from Ling Chen Chapter 56: Things Go Awry
"There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and you don't know the year when it is cold." Taixu Garden is like spring all year round, and there is no winter scene. The solar terms are unclear, and there is even less sense of the passage of time.
The time of March passed by in a blink of an eye. Ye Ling practiced hard every day, never leaving the house, and it had nothing to do with himself.
Whenever the spirit stones are about to be used up, Bai Wuyu will definitely send some more for Ye Ling to use for the pass.
Hundreds of stubborn stones that had lost their spiritual energy were piled in the middle of the room to show Ye Ling's consumption.
Ye Ling only focused on training, but Bai Wuyu knew that something was very serious. Ordinary people would never be able to use such a huge amount of spiritual energy when they gather in the spiritual realm to pass the test.
The number of spirit stones Ye Ling consumed was enough for others to break through forty or fifty apertures, but now Ye Ling has only broken through twenty.
In comparison, the spiritual energy Ye Ling used was dozens of times that of an ordinary person, which surprised Bai Wuyu.
"Perhaps this is why Master wants to accept these two senior brothers as his disciples!"
Although Ye Ling didn't know the difference between himself and others, he still paid more attention to the spiritual stones he consumed.
If things continue like this, it is not a long-term solution to just sit and eat. Bai Wuyu said that if the fairy grass in the garden is used to refine elixirs, it will be of great use in the future.
So, for the first time in three months, Ye Ling stepped out and bathed in the sun, feeling that her limbs felt relaxed and her breath was strong.
Although he only broke through twenty points, Ye Ling has also undergone considerable changes. His strength is completely different. The spiritual energy vortex in his Dantian is running faster than before. This means that Ye Ling's control and use of his own spiritual power is even more rapid.
Handy.
Stepping out, Bai Wuyu stood in front of Ye Ling, threw a jar of Drunken Cloud Brewing to Ye Ling, and carried a jar himself to the stone table and sat down.
Ye Ling patted the clay and said with a smile: "If this continues, sooner or later I will become a drunkard all day long!"
Bai Wuyu smiled and took a sip of the fine wine, and said: "Master has taught me the recipe of Zuiyun Brew a long time ago. I have buried at least three hundred jars in this purple bamboo forest. Even if my senior brother becomes an alcoholic, I can still make it for you."
Drink enough!”
The two looked at each other and smiled, then raised the altar and drank, making up for what they had lost during the three months of hard training.
"You two are drinking, don't call me up!" Wu Qingyi stepped out, walked up and said with a smile.
He entered the Huiling Realm, broke through the ten orifices, his whole body temperament changed drastically, and he emerged from the world.
Bai Wuyu casually threw a jar of wine to Wu Qing: "You are late, punish yourself with a jar first!"
"Okay!" Wu Qing patted the mud seal open, raised his head and drank, pouring all the wine into his stomach.
The three of them drank heavily until the night got darker, and then they stopped. There were more than a dozen empty wine jars lying on the ground.
If other Eight Peaks disciples saw this, they would definitely feel pain in their hearts and pity on their lips. Drinking this rare immortal brew into mundane wine would be a waste of natural resources.
Ye Ling was lying on the bed, his eyes were blurred, and his thoughts were racing. The path of seeking the truth, regardless of the cold or heat, does not know the age. Less than a year after coming to Taixu Garden, Ye Ling already felt that the smell of fireworks was gone from his body, and he didn't know why.
"Between the latitude and longitude, if you make one wrong move, it will lead to an abyss of uncertainty. Are you willing to be this chess piece?"
The words of the chess player in the palace that day remained in Ye Ling's heart. However, he did not want to be the chess piece, or even the person watching the game.
After a night of silence, Bai Wuyu turned into a crane the next morning and carried Ye Ling down the mountain to the sect mission hall to find a suitable mission in exchange for spiritual stones.
The Mission Hall occupies a larger area than the Lingshi Mansion. At the entrance of the main hall, people are constantly coming and going, and it is like a bustling crowd.
Most monks have to worry about cultivation resources, so this opportunity to earn spiritual stones is really rare.
As soon as Ye Ling and Bai Wuyu walked to the door, they attracted the attention of many people.
No one knows that Ye Ling single-handedly injured two Qingyou Realm disciples from Red Fire Peak and escaped unscathed. There was a lot of discussion about this among the disciples at the Eight Peaks.
Although the disciples of Red Fire Peak had resentment in their hearts, they did not dare to say anything because Xu Lonechen came to protect them, Meng Peiran stooped to visit, and Huo Yun could not come out of seclusion.
Since that day's battle at Taixu Peak, this was the first time Ye Ling appeared in front of everyone.
Ye Ling stood tall and tall, and did not feel any discomfort due to being noticed. Then he stepped up, entered the hall with Bai Wuyu, and looked around.
There are counters all around the main hall. Behind them are sect disciples who are responsible for registering and issuing sect tasks. Stone slabs are hung on the walls, with descriptions of various tasks and redeemable spiritual stones clearly written on them.
Bai Wuyu explained on the side: "The sect tasks here are divided into high and low levels according to the realm of cultivation. For example, the tasks corresponding to the Huiling Realm are here, the tasks corresponding to the Qingyou Realm are over there, and even Yingchong
There are also quests for the Realm of Immortality and Immortality, and some elders in the sect will also come here to receive quests in exchange for spiritual stones."
Ye Ling had a general understanding, so he walked up to the task wall corresponding to the cultivation level of Huiling Realm. Some of the tasks on it were relatively simple, such as: "Collect the century-old green scale grass, which can be exchanged for five low-grade spiritual stones."
"Take a pair of Kun Niu horns and exchange them for ten low-grade spiritual stones."
"Take the Three Immortals Grass, and each plant can be exchanged for two high-quality spiritual stones."
Most of the tasks in Hui Ling Realm involve going out to search for herbal medicines. The same was true for the previous spiritual stones, Bai Wuyu, who brought herbal medicines from Taixu Garden to the Mission Hall in exchange.
After looking at it for a long time, Ye Ling finally became optimistic about one of the tasks: "Take the wild wolf fangs, and each one can be exchanged for a low-grade spiritual stone."
Ye Ling knew that the strength of the wild wolves was not as strong as that of the early Huiling realm, and they lived in groups, dozens of them together. As long as you find a group of wild wolves, you can exchange them for nearly a hundred low-grade spiritual stones, which is a good deal.
But just as Ye Ling was about to speak, someone behind him said: "I will take over the task of taking the Wolf's fangs!"
Ye Ling looked back and saw several people standing behind him. There was heat all over their bodies. They were obviously disciples of the Red Fire Peak within the sect.
The leader was named Diao Yunfeng. He was not tall, with ears like cattail fans. He looked at Ye Ling with a look of arrogance and said: "I'm sorry, I took over this task first!"
Ye Ling frowned slightly, but didn't say much. Everything has a first-come, first-served basis. Since someone spoke first, he naturally couldn't fight for it.
So, Ye Ling chose another mission to hunt the Canghu, and get the Canghu's skin, which can be exchanged for thirty-five low-grade spiritual stones at a time.
But as soon as Ye Ling opened his mouth, another Scarlet Fire Peak disciple behind him snatched the task.
Ye Ling fully understood that these people were here to cause trouble today so that he could not receive the chosen mission.
Bai Wuyu looked gloomy and shouted: "You are deliberately looking for trouble. If you have the ability to use real swords and guns, don't play such conspiracies!"
"A joke," Diao Yunfeng sneered: "Disciples within the sect can accept this sect mission at will. Even if the sect leader and elders are here, they are blameless. Are you saying this to slander me, a member of Red Fire Peak?
"
"you……"
Bai Wuyu gritted his teeth, but was stopped by Ye Ling. Although Ye Ling was not a timid person, he was definitely not a reckless man. A conflict with them at this time was exactly what he wanted.
"Since you don't want me to accept the mission, then I will give you all the missions in the mission hall!"
Ye Ling pointed casually, without looking at the content. Everything he wanted to take was snatched away by the disciples from the Red Fire Peak behind him. As a result, the wall on the side of the Huiling Realm was empty of tasks.
The disciple standing behind the counter glanced at Ye Ling gratefully, so that he could go back and rest earlier.
The other disciples in the main hall were not in a hurry to accept the task, and stood aside, paying attention to the good show in front of them.
Afterwards, Ye Ling came to the mission wall corresponding to the Qing Nether Realm. Although there are some, but it is not common to take on the Qing Nether Realm missions with the cultivation level of Huiling Realm. Most of them take risks in order to obtain more spiritual stones, but
The success rate of the mission is not high.
The distinction between realms is a sign of strength. It is not easy to travel across realms. How many people like Ye Ling can defeat the peak of Qingyou Realm with the cultivation of Huiling Realm?
Ye Ling casually pointed at the task and asked the Red Fire Peak disciples to take it. But they were not fools, so they naturally realized that they no longer dared to answer casually.
The tasks corresponding to the Qingyou Realm are already relatively difficult. Only two of the Crimson Fire Peak disciples who came here have cultivated Qingyou, so they dare not grab them casually.
Only when Ye Ling wanted to register a mission, he would step forward to snatch it. Ye Ling didn't fight with them, he just gave it up and looked for other missions.
Bai Wuyu was dissatisfied. If this continues, all the tasks that Ye Ling can do will be taken away. Where should he find the spiritual stones he uses for cultivation?
Not long after, Ye Ling turned to look at the people at Red Fire Peak. Most of them had taken on a lot of tasks. The sect stipulated that if the tasks were not completed, compensation would have to be paid unless the person died.
No matter whether these people do it or not, they will have to pay a heavy price.
Ye Ling smiled and said: "Those tasks I chose just now are not what I want, but you guys took them on, which saves me from regretting in the future. I want to thank you very much. But for this next character, do you also dare to come and snatch it?"
With that said, Ye Ling stepped forward to the mission wall corresponding to Lingxu Realm, pointed at the mission written on the wall, and said: "I want to take this mission, do you want to grab it?"
