Chapter 283: On the List
Half an hour passed.
Li Xiuyuan and Lin Tianming had a great chat with the other monks and exchanged a lot of experience in the war. Everyone gained something.
Seeing the monks on the city wall gradually leaving, most of the nearly a thousand people had left, Li Xiuyuan then spoke.
"Junior Brother Lu, fellow comrades, the monsters have retreated for the time being, and there should be no tasks for a short period of time. You might as well go back and retreat for a while, and then move around with each other when you have time!"
After hearing this, Lin Tianming and others nodded, naturally they had no objections to this.
At this time, Lu Qiao looked at Lin Tianming and several other monks, then he cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Li, fellow Taoists."
"I will be the host someday, and I will invite you. Let’s all gather together at the Yingbin Building to express our gratitude. I hope all of you will come.”
After speaking, Lu Qiao looked at Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan with an expectant look.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming nodded and said with a smile: "Haha... Fellow Taoist Lu kindly invites me, I will definitely go!"
"Well... I would be disrespectful to refuse!" Hu Yuan said.
Hearing that the two were invited, Lu Qiao looked delighted, then exchanged a few polite words with the two, and finally left the city wall with Han Yongyang.
As several people left, Lin Tianming did not intend to stay here long. After a few polite words with Li Xiuyuan and Hu Yuan, he took Qin Xi away from the city wall and rushed to his cave.
The two were walking in Yuyao City. Lin Tianming looked calm and looked at the bustling crowd with a thoughtful expression.
As the monster army temporarily retreated, calm returned to the Demon Control City.
Under such circumstances, the monks retreated and practiced, the institutions in various regions surged with people, and the Demon Control City also regained its vitality.
After a while, Lin Tianming and his two men returned to the cave. After exchanging a few words with Qin Xi, they each entered the practice room and began a short period of practice adjustments.
In the practice room, Lin Tianming sat on the floor, a rosy color flashing across his slightly pale face.
In the previous battle, the monsters he dealt with were not very strong and he could deal with them relatively easily. He did not use all his strength at all, so his spiritual power was not exhausted and his condition was not bad.
Under such circumstances, it only takes two days of retreat to return to peak condition.
The same is true for Qin Xi. With his care, he didn't lose much in the battle and could recover in two days of seclusion.
After regaining his composure, he immediately clasped his hands together and circulated the technique in a big circle.
At this time, the weak spiritual energy existing in the practice room began to slowly flow into various parts of his body, and finally disappeared into his body.
The spiritual consciousness looks down at the dantian, and the spiritual energy that has not entered is refined, forming a trace of spiritual power, which flows into the dantian through the seven meridians and eight meridians.
Soon, as his spiritual power was replenished, his complexion gradually recovered, and his breath became very thick and solid.
Just like that, the sound of even breathing came from the practice room, and Lin Tianming fell into deep practice.
……
Early morning two days later.
In the reception room of Dongfu, Lin Tianming and Qin Xi sat opposite each other, chatting while drinking tea.
Lin Tianming looked at Qin Xi's pink cheeks, and it seemed that he had returned to his peak condition.
He nodded and said, "Fairy Qin seems to have returned to her peak, and her cultivation has improved a lot, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Xi chuckled, and his already unparalleled temperament became even more prominent.
For a moment, Lin Tianming was dumbfounded and looked foolish, which made Qin Xi blush and feel a little embarrassed.
Lin Tianming realized this and quickly turned his head, trying to ease the awkward situation.
Seeing his expression, Qin Xi said: "Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed a wise man. After this battle, although my cultivation has not improved, I have gained some accumulation and gained some insights. It can be considered a small improvement." It’s just progress!”
Lin Tianming nodded, fully agreeing with Qin Xi's words.
Many monk protagonists are too fast, resulting in an unstable foundation. However, after a battle, their cultivation has been precipitated and their strength has improved. This is a normal thing.
This is obviously the case for Qin Xi. His accumulated cultivation and stronger foundation can indeed be considered a small improvement.
After regaining his senses, Lin Tianming immediately asked: "These two days have passed. The monster hunting list scheduled by Yuyu City should be out, right?"
"We might as well go out. Let’s see, what does Fairy Qin think?”
"Well..." Qin Xi nodded and had no objection to this.
She is very clear about her own strength, and it is not difficult to fight against a few early second-level monsters.
There are thousands of foundation-building monks here, and there are hundreds of monks in the late stage of foundation-building alone. Under such competition, if you want to get a quota to enter the Tianfeng Secret Realm, you will even be ranked among the foundation-building monks. Getting to the front is almost impossible to achieve.
Therefore, before she came to Yuyao City to participate in the war, she did not set any big goals. She just wanted to experience it and repay Lin Tianming for saving her.
But even so, I admire and are very curious about those talented monks who are powerful and unparalleled and can strive to enter the demon hunting list.
In addition, she is also looking forward to Lin Tianming's results, whether he can be ranked at the front, and whether he can get a place to enter the secret realm.
With this curiosity, Qin Xi followed Lin Tianming out of the cave and walked towards the Zhenyang Palace in the center of the city.
The two of them went around in circles, walking on the street, looking at the slightly quiet Yuyao City while walking.
At this time, two days had passed since the end of the war. There was no movement from the monster army, and the city of Yuyu had returned to peace.
There were not many pedestrians on the road, walking together in twos and threes. Obviously, the time that had passed was still very short, and many monks were practicing in seclusion.
The people who are walking around now are almost those who were unscathed in the battle, or who only suffered some minor injuries.
Looking around, the Dongfu District does not have much traffic, but the store area is very popular.
It seems that some monks should be busy replenishing the treasures consumed in the war, or selling the trophies in their hands.
After all, in this battle, too many monsters died, and all kinds of weapon refining materials emerged in an endless stream.
Lin Tianming was unmoved by this. His loot was still in Li Xiuyuan's hands. Even if he received it, he had no intention of selling it in Yuyao City.
The reason is very simple. During the war, the materials for refining monsters exploded, and the supply basically exceeded the demand.
It can be expected that if we take action at this juncture, the price will definitely not be high. It will completely waste these hard-won trophies.
In this case, it is better to keep it in your hands, take it back to the family when the war is over, and give it to Grandpa Fifteen to refine it into a spiritual or magic weapon.
There are many weapon refiners in the family. As long as they are crafted by the weapon refiners, the value of these materials will immediately soar.
Whether it is sold or given to the family, it can also maximize the profits. Anyway, he has no shortage of spiritual stones and treasures for the time being.
After regaining their composure, Lin Tianming and the two took a leisurely stroll, mingling among the crowd, and soon arrived at the location of the Zhenyang Palace.
At this time, many monks have gathered here, a large number of people, at least a thousand people. Thousands of people gathered here, talking about something in small groups, it looked so lively.
The two passed through the crowd and arrived in front of Zhenyang Palace. Some familiar monks saw them and quickly greeted him.
Lin Tianming looked up and found that Hu Yuan was also here, and quickly returned the salute with his hands and fists.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, the demon hunting list is about to be released? Why are so many people gathered here?"
Hearing the inquiry, Hu Yuan smiled and replied: "It is said that the list will be released soon, right? !”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianming nodded, and couldn’t help but wonder whether his record could be ranked on the monster hunting list.
After all, in the previous battle, he killed three mid-level second-order monsters by himself, and successively helped Tang Liusheng and Li Xiuyuan kill several monsters.
In addition, he finally led his teammates to join Lu Qiao's battle group and killed another late-level second-level monster.
Seven or eight demonic beasts were killed one after another, including those in the middle and late stages of the second level. Their number was among the best among Li Xiuyuan's team.
However, the subsequent results of the battle will be more or less helped by other monks. It is difficult to say how to distribute them. It depends on what Li Xiuyuan and Zhenyang Sect plan.
Thinking of this, today Ming is very curious and looking forward to the announcement of the monster hunting list.
After returning to his mind, Lin Tianming chatted and joked with Hu Yuan, asking Hu Yuan about the results of the battle, while waiting for the Zhenyang Sect to announce the list.
After chatting with Hu Yuan, I learned that he had killed four late second-order monsters and three early second-order monsters.
Such a result was not much different from what he thought, and he should have a slight advantage.
Lin Tianming was not surprised by this.
He hid part of his strength during the war, but Hu Yuan was truly at the ninth level of foundation building. His strength was unfathomable. It was expected that he could achieve such results.
After regaining his composure, Lin Tianming smiled and complimented, and then communicated with Hu Yuan, asking about some potential competitors.
Time passed slowly, half an hour passed.
As the monks continued to arrive, the number of people in the square at this time further increased, and soon doubled several times, conservatively estimated to be no less than 3,000 people.
The noisy scene, the monks chatting with each other, the atmosphere was extremely lively.
Lin Tianming also inquired about a lot of information, focusing on those monks who had built a foundation of more than nine levels.
After all, these people are powerful monks and are strong contenders for the quota to enter the Tianfeng Secret Realm. They are ordinary late-stage foundation-building monks. He only briefly wrote down some of the famous monks, and did not pay attention to the others.
At this moment, several men in uniform clothes walked out of the Zhenyang Palace, four of them men and one female. The embroidery on their chests showed their identities. They were undoubtedly Zhenyang Sect monks.
As these people appeared, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone stared at the leader, Long Qingshui, with an expectant look.
In the square, Long Qingshui scanned the whole place and found many acquaintances. Their calm faces were filled with smiles and they nodded in greeting, all as hello.
Immediately afterwards, Long Qingshui looked at the expectant eyes of the monks and did not intend to delay, so as not to offend anyone.
He smiled calmly, and then took out a golden scroll, which turned out to be a second-level magic weapon.
The must-have items are in one place, and everyone’s eyes are wide open, for fear of missing something, and they all intend to see the names and results in the monster hunting list as soon as possible.
Seeing the reaction of the monks, Long Qingshui cast a magic spell, and the golden scroll slowly opened, with a golden light on the surface.
Then, he threw the scroll at the pillar at the entrance of Zhenyang Palace. The scroll was completely opened and pasted on the pillar impartially.
As the light weakened, the scroll was completely opened, forming a several-foot-long scroll of mountains and rivers. It looked simple and majestic, with the aura of heaven and earth.
Immediately afterwards, Long Qingshui formed a seal with his hands, made a specific gesture, and then muttered something in his mouth, which seemed to be a special spell.
As he stopped chanting the mantra, the movements in his hands stopped, and the mountains and rivers scroll once again lit up with bright golden light.
After doing this, Long Qingshui looked calm and his loud voice echoed throughout the square.
"Fellow Taoists, the monster hunting list has been released. Please enjoy reading it. If you have any questions, you can come to Zhenyang Palace with the leader to discuss it with me."
"Within half a month. If you don’t raise any questions, you will automatically agree to the allocation. No adjustments will be made at that time.”
After speaking, Long Qingshui cupped his hands and held his fists towards the many monks, and then led several of his fellow disciples, regardless of their reactions. Entered the True Yang Palace again.
At this time, the monks reacted and quickly turned their eyes to the mountains and rivers hanging on the pillars.
Looking around, there are two large areas on the mountain and river scroll. Each area has dozens of lines. Each line has the name of a monk and a detailed explanation of the results of the battle.
In the square, everyone was staring at the scroll, examining the names and results on the scroll, not wanting to let go of any word.
Lin Tianming stood in a corner, his sharp eyes looking through dozens of feet away. Looking down from the top, the text on the scroll came into view, and it was very clear.
Rules: Monsters are calculated in points. An early second-order monster is equal to ten points, a mid-second-order monster is equal to fifty points, and a late-second-order monster is equal to one hundred points.
Rules: When you work together to kill monsters, the points will be distributed by the Jindan monks. If you are not approved, you can apply to the Zhenyang Palace for reconsideration together with the team leader.
After seeing this rule description, Lin Tianming didn't have any doubts, because Chen Jingtian had said it once before, so there was nothing surprising.
After regaining his composure, he continued to look down with an uneasy feeling, still a little unsure as to whether his name was there.
He took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and then looked down.
First place on the monster hunting list: Long Qingshui, 740 points.
Results: Killed five late second-order monsters alone, and assisted in killing a certain number of second-order monsters.
Second place on the monster hunting list: Jun Bu Regret, 650 points.
Results: Killed four late-stage second-order monsters alone, and assisted in killing a certain number of second-order monsters.
Third place on the monster hunting list: Jiang Yuyao, 620 points.
Result: Killed four late-level second-order monsters alone, assisted...
...
Sixteenth place on the monster hunting list: Lin Tianming, 470 points.
Results: Killed three late second-order monsters alone, and assisted in killing a certain number of second-order monsters.
......
Lin Tianming read the scroll from top to bottom and from left to right in one breath, looking at it in great detail.
Seeing that he was on the list and ranked sixteenth on the overall list, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
