Chapter 222 The black-hearted Ling Pengliang takes advantage of Zhu Wen (3400, please subscribe)
Half a month has passed.
This day.
Lingxiao Mountain, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance came to the General Affairs Hall.
Ling Pengliang, the "Acting Elder" who was standing at the counter of the General Affairs Hall, saw this person arriving, his expression moved slightly and he said politely.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, when you come this time, you have refined the batches of demon beast skins in the early and middle stages of Qi training that I gave you three days ago into low- and mid-grade blank talisman paper."
< br>This honest and honest middle-aged man named Zhu is Zhu Wen who was captured alive by Ling Pengyun nine years ago and kidnapped back to the Ling family.
For the past nine years, Zhu Wen has been imprisoned in Lingxiao Mountain, spending eight of the twelve hours a day refining blank talisman paper for the Ling family.
Under such high-intensity refining of blank talisman paper, he could only refine first-order low-grade blank talisman paper when he first entered the mountain.
But as time goes by, more and more blank talisman papers are refined, and he has understood the art of refining blank talisman papers to the second level. Now he can refine the first-level medium talisman paper. Product blank talisman paper.
Of course, the Ling family did not suppress him too much, and would also give Zhu Wen two spiritual stones and five kilograms of yellow jade spiritual rice as a reward every month.
During these nine years as a coolie, Zhu Wen also tried to escape from Lingxiao Mountain.
But even if Zhu Wen escaped the eyes of the Ling monks who were monitoring him and successfully left the range of Lingxiao Mountain, unexpectedly he was directly locked by the second-order formation in the mountain, causing him to not dare to leave the range of Lingxiao Mountain. If he moves even a little bit more, he will be killed by the formation.
He was originally afraid of death and had no powerful defensive treasures on him, so he was naturally captured alive by the Ling family and brought back to Lingxiao Mountain.
Gradually, he accepted his fate and settled down in Lingxiao Mountain with peace of mind.
After all, he also knew that the Ling family valued his skills in refining blank talismans and would not kill him.
Under such circumstances, being in Lingxiao Mountain is actually a bit safer than he is in the outside world, but the number of spiritual stones earned is much less.
"It's natural. If I didn't refine all those monster animal skins into blank talisman paper, how could I dare to come to this general affairs hall."
"The storage bag contains It’s the batch of blank talisman papers I have this time.” Zhu Wen took out a bulging storage bag from his arms with a hint of resentment and handed it to Ling Peng.
Ling Pengliang had no reaction when he heard these words. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.
After all, anyone who is captured alive and has to work hard for nine years with a low salary will not have any objections.
Ling Pengliang reached out and took the storage bag from Zhu Wen, pouring his spiritual consciousness into it.
Checking the number of blank talisman papers in it, he saw that the number was correct, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
"The quantity is correct. Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Zhu."
Ling Pengliang smiled, picked up a storage bag that had been prepared from the corner of the counter, and handed it to Zhu Wendao.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, as usual, there are ten monster animal skins in the early and middle stages of Qi training in this storage bag. In three days, you need to refine a hundred blank first-level and mid-level talisman papers respectively."
< br>"I know." Zhu Wenshen reached out and took the storage bag that was handed to him, and said helplessly.
Although he was dissatisfied with Ling's use of him as a coolie, he did not dare to show it too much. After all, he still had to eat Ling's food.
The year he was first caught in Ling Xiaoshan, he just retorted dissatisfiedly, but as a result, he spent half a year refining blank talisman paper for the Ling family without any salary.
Without spiritual support, his cultivation progressed slowly in those six months.
After taking the storage bag, Zhu Wen did not stay in the General Affairs Hall for long. He turned around and left the General Affairs Hall directly, heading towards the courtyard where he lived in Lingxiao Mountain.
Ling Pengliang, who was in the general affairs hall, looked at Zhu Wen's back, but he was lost in thought.
"This Zhu Wen is indeed a talented person. It would be a pity if he is only used to refine blank talisman paper."
"Especially during this period of the Monster Beast Rebellion."
Ling Pengliang sighed secretly and his expression brightened.
He closed the door of the general affairs hall, quickly went up to the top of the mountain, rang the bronze conference bell on the top of the mountain, and called the fifth elder Ling Yunxi and the supreme elder Ling Pengyun into the conference hall to discuss matters.
The rest of the family’s senior officials are not in the clan.
Inside the meeting hall.
Ling Pengyun, who was sitting on the main seat, asked Ling Pengliang with doubts.
"Sixteenth Brother, you summoned me to the meeting hall this time. What do you mean?"
"Bago, fifteenth aunt, please tell me in detail." Ling Pengliang first called out to Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunxi, and then explained.
“Now, due to the large amount of monster skins obtained from killing the monsters that broke into the territory half a month ago, the clan has many low-grade and medium-grade blank talismans in the clan.”
< br>"There is only the Eighteenth Patriarch, a first-level mid-level talisman maker, in the clan. It is impossible for the Eighteenth Patriarch alone to refine the large number of blank talisman papers into spiritual talismans and hand them over to the clan for defense. To prevent another group of monsters from breaking into the family and causing trouble during this period of monster chaos."
"In this case, I have an idea."
"I plan to entrust it. , the Talisman Maker named Zhu Wen who was captured alive by Bage and brought back to Clan Mountain nine years ago, refined the first-order low-grade spiritual talisman for the family, while the Eighteenth Grandfather worked hard to refine the first-order mid-grade spiritual talisman.”
"With the combined efforts of the two, the family's large number of first-level and middle-grade blank talisman papers can be quickly turned into spiritual talismans, thereby increasing the clan's combat power."
The eighteenth ancestor mentioned by Ling Pengliang is Yun Ling Yunming, who ranks eighteenth in his generation, is also the father of Ling Dong, the head of Qingshi Village.
Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunxi frowned when they heard this.
After a while, Ling Pengyun said.
"Sixteenth Brother, although your idea is good, Zhu Wen used to be an evil cultivator specializing in interception and killing, and he had a very vicious heart. Moreover, he was captured alive by me and brought back to the family." For these years, he has been imprisoned in the Clan Mountain, refining blank talisman paper for the family every day, and he must have resentment in his heart.”
“Once the family provides blank talisman paper and asks him to help refine the talismans, he will definitely be able to hide a lot of talismans secretly.”
“Under such circumstances, if this person turns out to be vicious in the future Dafa, relying on the secret talismans and his fifth-level Qi training, will attack our Ling clan members directly in the mountains, which will definitely cause heavy casualties."
Ling Pengliang said with a smile. road. "I have already thought about this situation. There is still a first-level low-grade tracking array available in the family library, as well as several spiritual materials for refining the imaging array."
"With those spiritual materials, according to the With the ability of the fifteen aunts’ formation, nine out of ten, they can refine a first-level mid-grade imaging formation.”
"Once the shadow formation is refined, we can completely arrange the two formations, the mystery array and the shadow formation, around the courtyard where Zhu Wen lives."
"The mystery array will transform into a psychedelic one. The clouds and mist shrouded the place where he lived, acting as a special early warning restriction."
"After all, although Zhu Wen has the fifth level of Qi training, he can force his way out of the mysterious formation, but he can follow his instructions. With his cultivation, once he breaks through the formation, it will definitely touch the formation."
"As for the large photo formation, it is used as a surveillance to monitor the number of spiritual talismans that Zhu Wen refines to ensure that he does not. Will hide the magic talisman secretly."
After hearing Ling Pengliang's idea, Ling Pengyun felt that Ling Pengliang's proposal was feasible, and he couldn't help but think highly of Ling Pengliang.
"If this is the case, this method is indeed feasible, but imprisoning Zhu Wen in the courtyard and restricting his freedom may cause Zhu Wen to be very resentful."
"Prompt to appear, he is for the family During the process of refining the magic talisman, the refining of the magic talisman failed intentionally. The result is a situation in which the success rate of refining the spiritual talisman is extremely low."
"The family can just impose the success rate of refining the spiritual talisman on Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen would be so frightened to death that he would not dare to deliberately fail to refine the spiritual talisman. "Ling Pengliang had a playful look on his face, and his tone was slightly playful.
After hearing this, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunxi, who were both in the meeting hall, both believed at this moment that the black-hearted Ling Pengliang was indeed the most suitable person for the family elder.
"Sixteenth Brother, don't push Zhu Wen too hard, give him some benefits." Ling Pengyun warned Ling Pengyun because he was afraid that Ling Pengliang would squeeze Zhu Wen too hard.
"Bago, I understand that only by putting in a long line can you catch big fish." Ling Pengliang was in a good mood when he saw Ling Pengyun agreeing. He smiled, turned to look at Ling Yunxi, and said.
"Fifteenth Aunt, you have to work harder to refine the photo formation."
"There is no need to say hard work. Refining the formation for the family is mine. My duty is to refine the first-level mid-grade photo array within three days," Ling Yunxi replied.
"Okay, this matter is over, I won't say more about it. Taking advantage of this opportunity that everyone is gathering together, eighth brother, please tell me and my fifteenth aunt about the current situation of the family. ." Ling Pengyun said to Ling Pengyun, the acting elder.
After hearing this, Ling Pengliang did not delay too much. He told Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunxi in detail about the current situation of the family, and handed over the roster of various spiritual creatures and account books in the family to them. People checked it out.
Once these things are finished, this discussion will be over.
Three days later.
General Affairs Hall.
On this day, Zhu Wen, who received the Ling family's commission three days ago to refine blank talisman paper from monster skins, came to the General Affairs Hall again and handed over the blank talisman paper he had refined for nearly three days. Ling Pengliang.
But this time, Ling Pengliang did not give him a batch of monster skins and let him go as usual. Instead, he spoke in detail, and Ling planned to entrust him with refining one. The matter of lower-grade spiritual talismans.
Zhu Wen is naturally willing to refine the magic talisman.
After all, the success rate of refining the magic talismans cannot be controlled. He might even be able to hide a few magic talismans for self-defense.
But when he learned that the Ling family would use two formations, the Mist and the Shadow Formation, to restrict his freedom and monitor his success rate in drawing the talisman, he immediately rejected Ling Pengliang's proposal. .
"Friend Daoist Zhu, don't refuse this matter in a hurry. You might as well first listen to the reward you can get for refining the magic talisman for my Ling family." Ling Pengliang saw Zhu Wen leave angrily, so he was not in a hurry. , instead he said with a smile.
"Then let's talk and listen." Upon hearing this, Zhu Wen was a little curious and said.
"In the future, you need to refine one hundred first-level low-grade fireball talismans that you are good at every month for my Ling family, and the success rate of refining this talisman should not be less than 30%."
"And you The salary will also be increased to five spiritual stones and ten pounds of yellow jade spiritual rice per month."
"If you can refine more fireball talismans, you can get one more by refining twenty more. spirit stone Calculation method. "
"At the same time, when your cultivation reaches the sixth level of Qi training, I, the Ling family, can provide you with a first-class high-grade miasma-breaking pill that is difficult to find in the outside world for free to help you. Break through the bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi training and enter the later stage of Qi training."
"In addition to these, I, the Ling family's first-level and mid-level spiritual talisman inheritance, can also open it to you."
"By the way, if my observation is correct, the technique practiced by Brother Daoist Zhu should be the most common Fire Spirit Art on the market. The progress of practicing this technique is extremely slow."
"I, Ling, , can provide you with the operation routes of the first seven levels of the superior fire technique "Fire Fire Technique", which is enough for you to practice to the seventh level of Qi training."
"Zhu Daoyou, I don't know this condition, are you still satisfied?" Ling Peng smiled coldly.
"Is what Fellow Daoist Ling said true?" Zhu Wen's eyes suddenly widened when he heard the reward Ling Pengliang said.
Ling Pengliang entrusted him with refining spiritual talismans. Although the monthly salary he was given was not much, the Miasma-Breaking Pill, the spiritual talisman inheritance and the Fiery Fire Art were all treasures.
Miasma-breaking pills, spiritual talisman inheritance, and fierce fire tactics are extremely rare in the outside world. Once they appear, they will be robbed by monks. They are valuable but unmarketable things.
The Miasma-Breaking Pill can help his cultivation reach a higher level.
Inheritance can help him move more smoothly along the path of spiritual talismans.
The skills can help him speed up his cultivation, and his strength is far beyond that of ordinary monks.
With these third-class favorable conditions in front of him, Zhu Wen was quite moved.
