Chapter 226 Punishment Lifted
Looking at Long Dangdang with a smile on his face, Ah Jiu wanted to slap this kid. Moreover, he discovered that no matter whether it was a few people in Long Dangdang's own team or a few preparatory members of Zisang Liuying's team, they had no intention of speaking. Everything was dominated by Long Dangdang.
This is interesting. According to the information collected by the headquarters, among the seven preparatory temples, Long Dangdang is actually ranked lower and the last one. Yes, he is the last one, even Long Kongkong is ranked above him.
Ling Menglu ranked first, Zisang Liuying second, Long Kongkong ranked third, then Chu Yu, Tang Leiguang, Cai Caijuan, and finally Long Dangdang.
Yes, Long Kongkong ranked third. The reason is very simple. Although he is not strong, he is the successor of Shenqiyu Tong Spirit Furnace! Although Long Dangdang also owns the Wisdom Spirit Furnace, it is a broken Yueming Canghai Spiritual Furnace. It is likely that his achievements will be limited in the future, and it will be difficult to break through to a higher level like the owners of the Yueming Canghai Spiritual Furnace in historical records.
But now it seems that Long Dangdang has become the leader. Even Zi San Liuying's cold and arrogant character did not interrupt when he spoke. what does that mean? It's a bit intriguing.
"Just here, write a new report to me according to what you just said. I will apply to the headquarters and the federal government to revoke the punishment on you. Okay?" Ah Jiu said.
Long Dangdang scratched his head, looking a little surprised, "Minister Jiu, but we were really wrong! How dare we ask the federation to withdraw the punishment!"
Ajiu's eyes widened. After a while, he asked, "Aren't you satisfied with being such a naughty boy?"
Long Dangdang waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no. As ordinary low-level demon hunters, we fully support whatever the headquarters decides. We just don't want to cause trouble to the headquarters."
"Shut up, you , Don’t go too far! Originally, the punishment was just a superficial explanation. Could it be that the headquarters really failed you? It’s better for you that you don’t have any trust in the headquarters, so why do you come here to give me a formal reward? Do you want the two teams of Zisang Liuying and Zisang Liuying to have half of their merit reduced when they advance to the next level?"
Long Dangdang said with a smile on his face: "What about the two Captain Li's teams?"
Ah Jiu glared at him and said: "Captain Li Hongche's team can get a deduction of fifty thousand for the same amount of merit. Li Yuqing's team can get a deduction of thirty thousand. Are you satisfied?"
Long Dangdang hurriedly said: "I don't dare to give it to the elders." Resign, thank you, Minister Li. Then we will write a new report. If the headquarters determines that we did not make a mistake this time, will there be rewards for the previous punishments and missions? "
Looking at his face. With an innocent smile, Ah Jiu snorted, "Stop talking nonsense and write quickly." After saying that, he turned around and left. He was afraid that he really couldn't help but give this kid a good squeeze.
Watching the wine minister leave, everyone else's eyes invariably focused on Long Dangdang.
Long Dangdang smiled and nodded at everyone, and praised: "The headquarters of the Demon Hunting Group is truly the home of our demon hunters, and they always think about us. The Minister of Wine especially cares for us juniors, which really makes us respect him for life. A good example.”
After hearing Long Dangdang’s words, Cai Caijuan couldn’t help but laugh. Zisang Liuying turned away, not wanting to look at him again. The corner of Tang Leiguang's mouth twitched. He had lost all three senses, including hearing, and just looked at Long Dangdang with some curiosity.
Long Dangdang was on his team's side, Long Kongkong raised his thumbs up and cheered for his brother, Ling Menglu just smiled, Wang Changxin was expressionless, as if nothing had happened, Ming Xi was in a daze, and Tao Linlin was smiling.
At this time, everyone in the Li Hongche and Li Yuqing teams were overwhelmed by the huge surprise. Let’s stand on the stage. It only took a few minutes to get tens of thousands of merits. Already? This happiness came too suddenly. For Long Dangdang, they only have deep admiration at this time.
The mission report was naturally written by Long Dangdang, so he reported it again according to what he said to Ah Jiu before.
Li Hongche and Li Yuqing took their teammates and left in advance, but Zisang Liuying and her friends stayed.
"We were absolutely right about what happened this time. Those stubborn old men insisting on guarding these remains will only bring more casualties and dangers. They are just old fools." Zi Sang Liu Ying said angrily.
Long Dangdang stopped writing, looked up at her, and said: "Captain Zisang, there is actually no absolute right or wrong in this matter. We understand that these ancestors' bones will cause danger, don't the predecessors understand? ? They must also understand. However, these ancestors have made outstanding contributions to the Federation, and their talents have been passed down. It is indeed difficult for the younger generations to crush their ancestors into ashes. . It’s understandable emotionally.”
Zisan Liuying said: "But the problem is that the undead creatures continue to wreak havoc, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. More and more ancestors' bones have become part of the undead army, and they are attacking humans. Should we just let it go on like this? This is not the case either That’s what the ancestors want to see. If you continue like this, you don’t know how many living people will be sacrificed for the dead.”
Long Dangdang said: “I understand your mood, and I understand it too. . However, our Temple Federation has existed for more than 10,000 years. How many ancestors have been buried for more than 10,000 years, and the six saints who have made outstanding contributions to the federation can be remembered by the undead. "Sir, it is not easy to let go emotionally. In fact, have you ever thought that this is actually a problem caused by the federal system?"
Zi San Liuyingyi. Stunned, "Problems caused by the federal system? What do you mean?"
Long Dang said: "What if the funeral method in our federation has been cremation from the beginning? Then, no matter how many years it lasts, there will be no such problem."
Ling Menglu's eyes lit up and said : "You mean, we should promote it from this aspect?"
Long Dangdang said: "We are still talking about it now, but I believe that the leaders of the six major temples and the federation also know that the tombs of their ancestors are very harmful to the souls of the dead. Biologically speaking, this is the biggest source of supplies. If you want to promote the cremation of ancestors, it must be at least politically sound. It would be easier to change the burial method first.”
Long Kongkong said lazily: "There is another way."
Long Dangdang glanced at him, "Do you have a good idea?"
Long Kongkong chuckled and said: " When I get stronger, I can use the Yuan Vortex Spiritual Furnace to suck them all away. Then it won’t be a problem if there are no undead creatures." Naturally, all he could get from these words was a blank stare.
The mission report was quickly rewritten, leaving the report on the table, and Long Dangdang left directly with his friends. As the Minister of Wine said, it’s enough if the goal is achieved, don’t go too far!
As for how this matter will develop in the future, it is not something they "little people" need to consider.
Return to the station and rest.
While Ling Menglu was recuperating her spiritual sea, she began to build magic circles at the station. Shielding and isolation arrays are given priority, followed by spirit gathering arrays, protective arrays, etc.
The small courtyard dedicated to the 19115897 Demon Hunting Group has turned into a defensive center within a few days.
Everyone gathers in the courtyard to practice together every night. The help of the God Praying Cangyue Angel and the magic of the Yuanvortex Spiritual Furnace are of great help to everyone's practice.
However, there are often screams in the small yard. That was the sound made by some people when they were practicing the Blood Alchemy Body.
The ones who screamed the loudest were not Ling Menglu and Ming Xi, but Tao Linlin who started to try.
Only after he really tried it did he know how intense and violent the pain of the Blood Alchemy Body would be. During the first test, the scream was tragic. Then his nickname of Sister Taozi was confirmed. And Tao Linlin was helpless in response to the ridicule. Who said that he could not bear it as well as a few other girls?
A week later, the notice from the Demon Hunting Group headquarters finally came.
The 10,000 merit points that Ling Menglu had forfeited came back. At the same time, the mission reward also had 8,000 merit points. No one knew whether this reward was missing, but they finally got back what they had lost.
The total number of meritorious service has exceeded 60,000. If the meritorious service of the Demon Hunting Group for promotion to the next level is halved according to what the Minister of Wine said last time, then they have actually achieved enough meritorious service to upgrade. Of course, strength is not enough.
If you want to become a handsome demon hunting group, you need to break through the seventh level of collective cultivation. At present, they don't have even a seventh-level person.
And they are generally young. The strategy formulated by Long Dangdang is very simple, focusing on cultivation and completing tasks as a supplement. Even if it is not a mandatory task, there is no rush to complete it.
After spending 10,000 merits, some treasures for making magic arrays were exchanged from the headquarters of the Demon Hunting Group. Ling Menglu made better spirit gathering arrays at the station for everyone to practice. As long as it is not a mandatory task, Long Dangdang has no intention of taking his friends to complete it.
In any profession, cultivation and growth are the fastest during the youth, because at this stage, the human body is the most active, not to mention that with existences like the three spiritual furnaces of wisdom, their cultivation speed is absolutely faster than any other. No one can compare. Improving your strength first is more important than anything else. As for the remaining meritorious deeds, I kept them for the time being and did not exchange them for equipment. With their current equipment, it is enough for the time being.
Ling Menglu also brought news from home. The church knew about their sit-in at the headquarters of the Demon Hunting Group. The church seemed to have remained silent about this. But Mr. Ling also reminded them to keep a low profile.
They really kept a low profile, so low-key that no one even showed up. Except for going out to purchase supplies, the seven of them almost never left home and practiced hard at their residence. Except for Long Kongkong who couldn't help but wanted to sneak out a few times and was caught by Long Dangdang, everyone else was happy with it.
For the other four people, this speed of cultivation is unprecedented for them. It’s great to feel that my strength is improving every day.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and Long Dangdang was lying calmly in the bathtub, silently feeling the blood of dragon monsters infiltrating his body, and a faint purple halo gradually appeared on the surface of his skin.
From the initial discomfort when the purple lines appeared, they have become accustomed to it now. He and Long Kongkong are now able to deal with it calmly.
With the deepening of cultivation, these purple lines seem to be changing to a certain extent. The most important change is that the lines themselves begin to become more complicated. From the beginning, they only outline diamond shapes one by one. The lines have now begun to become different shades, have a three-dimensional effect, and are faintly glowing. And their own strength is also constantly growing in this process.
Because you have cultivated the Blood Alchemy Body, the progress of your inner spiritual power is restricted by the external spiritual power. If the external spiritual power does not reach the inner spiritual power, you cannot continue to improve. But on the other hand, the cultivation of external spiritual power is not affected by this aspect and can be continuously improved.
After the transaction with the Demon Hunting Group Headquarters, the huge amount of beast blood they obtained can be used for a long time, and the Ling family has also continued to purchase through large auctions, and has accumulated a lot, especially the blood of demon beasts with dragon bloodline. , accumulate a lot.
Long Kongkong’s recent progress in external spiritual power has been very rapid, because the blood level of the dragon monster he is currently using is higher, one level higher than his own cultivation. The progress of external spiritual power can even be described as a thousand miles a day. , in just over a week, the external spiritual power not only broke through the fifth level, but also continued to increase. It was already close to 3,000. Although the speed of improvement cannot be compared with before, if it continues, it will not take long, at most In one month, he can be promoted to the sixth level. This level of improvement speed can definitely be described as appalling.
Because the blood of the Earth Demon Dragon was used most at first, Long Kongkong also used a ton of the Earth Demon Dragon's blood first, and also gained the skill of gravity control. Then I started using the second type of dragon blood.
Compared with Long Kongkong, Long Dangdang's current progress is much slower. After entering the sixth level, perhaps the physical level and the spiritual power level have become different. In the process of training, although he is absorbing a large amount of dragon-type monster blood, his external spiritual power can be improved more slowly than before. to describe. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Long Dangdang uses the blood of level 7 monsters instead of the blood of level 8 monsters.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to use the blood of level eight monsters to increase his external spiritual power. That would indeed be faster. However, after the external spiritual power increases to a certain level, the blood of low-level monsters will become ineffective. Wouldn’t the blood of the seventh-level dragon monster obtained from the Demon Hunting Group headquarters be wasted? Moreover, it will also waste the talents and skills that Long Dangdang values.
So, he is not in a hurry now. It doesn’t matter if the improvement is slower, but he plans to use the blood of seventh-level monsters to increase his external spiritual power from the sixth level to the seventh level, so that he can gain more. Some of the innate skills of dragon-type monsters. At the same time, there is another reason for the slow improvement of his external spiritual power, that is, the golden dragon Xiaoba is actually following him to absorb the dragon blood for purification, but Xiaoba is very picky, each batch of dragon blood only absorbs some of the best essence. part.
