The whole process went very smoothly. As soon as Gao Yuan's internal energy penetrated through the crystal shell, he suddenly felt a warm and cool mysterious energy.
Then he saw the gray energy sealed in the Yuanjing Stone floating slightly like life, and quickly merged into his body along the bridge built by internal energy.
Then he followed the return of the internal energy in his body and soon reached his dantian position.
After a moment of pause, Gao Yuan suddenly felt a magical fluctuation coming from his dantian, which flowed rapidly throughout his body like an electric current.
At the same time, he also felt an illusory connection from the surrounding void!
This feeling is quite mysterious, as if something is in the dark and connected with him, as if he can respond to him as long as he thinks.
Gao Yuan was amazed in his heart, then opened the panel and took a look:
【Name】: Gao Yuan
【Life-Year]: 21/143
[Realm]: Nine levels of Qi training (perfect)
【Technique】: Changchun Qi Practice, Grand Master
【Skill】:
...
【Analysis】: Distorted Will: 126, can be analyzed
Seeing the 21 in the column of life span, he was stunned for a moment before he realized.
After more than two months of practice, winter has gone and spring has come, and it is now a new year!
At this time, he had reached the peak of Qi training.
Seeing that the word "perfect" was added to the ninth level of Qi training in the realm column, Gao Yuan's eyes couldn't help but pause.
Perhaps it was because of the innate essence implanted into his dantian, which was no longer an ordinary ninth level of Qi training, he was guessing in his mind.
At this stage, in addition to using the internal energy to water the innate essence implanted into the dantian every day to strengthen it, he should also consider the Kaiyuan Realm Practice!
But what should I do specifically?
He couldn't help but frown. Should he really be a thug from those big forces, and he would be able to earn decades of hard work and slowly accumulate merits to exchange it?
In distress, Gao Yuan lay straight on the bed, staring at the roof above quietly.
At this moment, he suddenly found a line of small words on the upper left side of his vision, and he quickly looked at it intently.
I saw the small words fixed on the upper left corner of his field of vision, which suddenly magnified as his attention was concentrated, and suddenly appeared in the center of his field of vision:
"Kill 1 Shadow Demon."
After seeing this line clearly, Gao Yuan's breathing stopped!
A scene was instantly recalled in his mind, which was the first day he traveled to this world.
...
"Kill 1 corpse ghoul, countdown 23:51:03"
...
"The mission is completed and you will get 1 entry-level skill upgrade coupon"
...
Similar words appeared in his vision on the camel beast carriage running between Shilitai and Qingyuan Town.
It was after the prompt to complete the task that the system panel suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
At this moment, the scene in front of me is very similar to that in the past!
Gao Yuan's reaction was exactly the same as before, and his heart was pounding like a drum!
Could it be that the system saw that I did not have the Kaiyuan Realm martial arts and specially issued a task to help me overcome the difficulties?
Could it be that this system is not a dead object, but has its own consciousness?
Thinking of this, he was shocked.
After hesitating for a moment, he saw him poking his head and looking around, then tentatively calling in a low voice like a thief:
"System~ Are you here?"
“…”
"I heard you scream, let's talk?"
“…”
In the silent silence, Gao Yuan finally stopped his mentally retarded behavior and then began to seriously consider the immediate problems.
There is no doubt that he must find a way to complete the so-called task of killing one "Shadow Demon".
Even if there is only a possibility, he wants to try it out. What if he can unlock a new feature or something?
Besides, it really doesn’t work. Let’s look back and find a big force to join. It’s not too late to be a disciple and thug!
After all, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he still has 122 years of life!
·
Unlike the corpse ghosts he killed in the last mission, the target of this mission, "Shadow Demon", is not recorded in the "Northern Regional Scene Records".
Could it be a monster that does not exist in the Northern Region?
This thought flashed through his mind. Although it was unlikely, it could not be said to be none.
But compared to this, he was more inclined to another explanation. It might be that the information of this monster is relatively high-end, so it was not published in books such as "Northern Region Fengwu Zhi", which are mainly circulated among casual cultivators?
Gao Yuan immediately remembered what he saw when he was wandering in Qingliang City before, and the shop specializing in book business.
Well, I'll go to this shop tomorrow.
After making up his mind, he entered the state of cultivation again.
Under his guidance, the inner energy continued to sway towards the innate essence that was rooted in his dantian, swaying like a candle.
...
The next morning.
Gao Yuan finished washing up early, and after breakfast, he pushed open the yard door and walked out.
Due to the suspected signs of system upgrade, he was in a good mood today. When he stood at the gate of the yard, he was in a mood to look at everything nearby.
His house is in a good location. Although it is also in an alley, it is only two houses away from the shopping street.
At this time, there were many pedestrians on the stone brick road in front of the courtyard. These people were both men and women, and were generally older. There were basically no one less than thirty years old in their faces.
They all wore dark-toned robes, and they walked very quickly, looking anxious to go on their way.
Through the previous introduction of the rental manager, Gao Yuan knew that most of the monks living in this alley were working class in Qingliang City, and basically worked in various workshops in the city.
Early in the morning, these monks left their homes early and rushed to work.
Standing at the door and watching quietly for a while, Gao Yuan locked the door and followed the crowds towards the direction of the shopping street. He planned to go to the store called 'Zhiyouzhai' not far away.
bookstore.
When I passed the door of the next house, I suddenly heard a "Huh" sound from inside, and then I heard a woman's voice coming from beside me:
"This fellow Taoist is very jealous. Did he move here recently?"
Gao Yuan turned around in surprise when he heard this, but saw a young woman in her blue skirt standing on the porch of the next courtyard of her house. She was looking at him with curiosity on her face.
He hesitated for a moment before bowing:
"It is really rude that I am in Gaoyuan and have been tired of private affairs. I have moved here for more than two months but have not visited the neighbors on the streets."
The young woman in blue skirt was "scared" when she heard this, paused for a moment before saying:
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist has moved here for more than two months, but I haven't seen it once."
Then, without waiting for Gao Yuan to speak, he said curiously:
"Fellow Daoist is going to the top? I don't know where it's high?"
Gao Yuan originally thought it was just a few simple and polite words, but he didn't expect that the young woman was quite talkative.
After all, it was the neighbor who was close to the door, so it was a bit inappropriate for him to leave, so he had to say patiently:
"This is not. I was burdened by private affairs in the previous episode and I have never found a living."
The young woman in blue skirt casually glanced at the corner of her mouth when she heard this, and then she reminded her:
"Then you have to hurry up. You are still young and cannot slack off. A man still has to have a skill to keep with me, just like my family, if it weren't for being a high-level talisman master in the Bai Family Fufang,
I won't live with him..."
If I had known, I would have said I was rushing to work!
Gao Yuan listened to the young woman keeping her banging and a dry smile barely squeezed out on her face, thinking helplessly.
At this moment, a few footsteps came from the gate of the courtyard, and soon a middle-aged man with a short, thick body and a slightly bald head came out.
When the young woman in blue skirt saw someone coming, she turned her mind and repeatedly reminded the middle-aged man to go home immediately after getting off work and not to go to Zhufen Lane to wander around.
Zhufen Lane?
Gao Yuan repeated in his heart, could it be a brothel street in Qingliang City?
Then he looked at the middle-aged man who was half of him in surprise and took the opportunity to bow his farewell.
...
An hour later, Gao Yuan walked out of the bookstore called "Zhiyouzhai" with a gloomy face.
The store is actually quite large. Among the items sold in the store, there are both wired book books and tooth-white jade slips, including many martial arts and classics.
But without exception, all these martial arts and scriptures are from Qi Practice Realm.
There are many books about customs and geography, but they are all similar to "Northern Regional Scenery".
In a word, the business content of this store is completely in line with the positioning of the Qi Training Realm. When he tried to ask about the information related to the Kaiyuan Realm, the clues pointed to the inner city again.
Gao Yuan was a little helpless. Although the outer city of Qingliang City looked more grand than that of Qingyuan Town, to put it bluntly, it was just another form of shanty town!
Could it be that if an ordinary monk wants to advance to the Kaiyuan Realm, he can only join the major forces?
He thought a little depressedly.
Although he was a little reluctant, he finally walked through the streets and alleys towards the service hall.
No matter what, even if you don’t plan to do it, you have to understand the general market conditions, right?
...
Although the name of the Service Hall is the Hall, it is actually a large building complex built close to the inner city wall.
Not only were there crowds of people in the courtyard, but there were also people outside the courtyard who helped each family recruit people.
"Song Family Artifact Workshop Hi-Tech recruits the smelter of the tool embryo, which includes food and accommodation, and is well paid. You can register for the seventh level of Qi training!"
"The Bai Family Talisman Workshop recruits Talisman apprentices. You can have any experience or not. You can register at the seventh level of Qi training!"
...
Along the way, the yake greetings and publicity were heard everywhere. From time to time, passers-by were attracted and walked over to talk to each other.
Or he was led to the quiet room beside him and talked in detail, or walked to the side with a helpless look on his face, which opened Gao Yuan's eyes.
And as he walked past the tall main entrance of the Service Hall, the shouts around him gradually became less and less.
However, people passing by nearby, regardless of gender, are getting older.
Just looking at these people, they basically look like they are in their fifties and sixties, and there are very few people in their forties.
Therefore, Gao Yuan walked here as if he stood out from a flock of cranes, and people occasionally cast surprised eyes at him.
It is naturally uncomfortable to be watched. Gao Yuan insisted on walking in, but he regretted the habit of shaving that he had always maintained before.
At this time, his jaw was smooth and the blind man could see that he was a young man. Otherwise, if he had a beard covering him, he would at least look more mature!
Next time I go out, I can consider disguising myself. Not to mention that I have to change my appearance, at least make myself look older, Gao Yuan made a secret decision in his heart.
At this time, he had turned to a row of side halls on his left, which was the place where major Hunyuan families recruited their disciples.
Through his experience of wandering in a bookstore, Gao Yuan already knew that in addition to the dominant city lord's mansion, Qingliang City also has Qi, Mei, Li, Chang, Shen, Bai, and Song Qida Hunyuan families according to their strength.
Of course, for well-known reasons, the ancestor of the Li family and the ancestor of the Chang family had already died at the birthday party of the Chen family in Qingyuan Town.
Although the suppression of that senior Yu Linglong from the Divine Soul Realm, Qingliang City has been in peace and no turmoil has occurred in the past two months.
But the city has actually been undercurrents. Anyone knows that Chang and Li families, who have lost the protection of the ancestors of the Hunyuan Realm, will definitely not be able to defend their existing interests. A major reshuffle of power is about to begin.
This can be seen from this service hall that the recruitment offices of the other five companies are crowded with people, and the two sides of the Limen plaque are hanging, but the doors outside the two side halls are deserted.
Gao Yuan sighed a little when he saw this, but the world was cold and cold.
He stayed in the side halls of each recruiting company for a while, and soon learned about the market.
The details of recruiting customers in each company are similar, and the efforts and returns of customers are basically floating around a baseline.
The recruitment threshold is all the ninth level of Qi training, and there are certain requirements for practical combat capabilities. It is said that you must have a Class A practical combat assessment certificate issued by the Service Hall.
As for the benefits, they are almost the same, and they are basically the double payment standards for merit and spirit stones.
At the same time, in order to increase their attractiveness, these families directly hung their merit exchange tables on the wall next to them.
Gao Yuan went up and glanced at him. Good guy, Yuan Jingshi, martial arts (including Kaiyuan Realm exercises), mantras, real estate, elixirs, magic tools, etc.
As for the exchange price, Gao Yuan glanced at the treatment standards of the guests.
According to the highest standards of the Bai Family Partial Hall where he is now, if a clerk does not spend any merits during his tenure, he only needs to spend thirty years to save enough merits and exchange them for a Yuan Jing.
stone!
In fact, compared with the lifespan of a monk at the ninth level of Qi training, thirty years is not particularly difficult to accept.
But as far as Gao Yuan knows, there are less than one ten visitors who can exchange Yuan Jingshi.
Such an exaggerated proportion can also show that the risk of these customers' work is by no means as simple as just waiting for time.
Gao Yuan felt quite heavy when he saw this. If he could not find a solution to the source of the Kaiyuan Realm martial arts, then he could only choose to take this path!
Just as he was walking towards the gate of the Service Hall in a bad mood, he suddenly heard a noise coming from behind him, and turned to look in surprise.
Just in the distance, a sturdy and bearded man as big as a bear was holding a man's neck with one hand with anger on his face, and said angrily:
"Slaughter the old dog, I, Xin Lei, have nothing to say to you, but I didn't expect you to come too! If Boss Su hadn't pulled you back then, you would have fed those shadow demons so long ago!
Have you survived to this day?
Hey! Are you ill? Come on, let’s find a secluded place and let me check it out for you. If you can’t tell me one, two or three, I will kill you today!”
The strong man was pulled by a thin old man in a gray robe and white hair. At this time, facing the strong man's questioning, his old face turned red with shame.
Gao Yuan was not interested in this normality, and was about to turn his head, the word "shadow demon" in the strong man instantly aroused his attention, and his steps stopped.
