"This is the identity token of our city lord's mansion Wu and other guests. It is also an eighth-grade magic treasure. After it is activated, it can release a layer of protective light shield, but its biggest function is similar to your identity token. Receive it from our city lord's mansion. This token is needed for offerings and tasks,” Cang Xi said.
"Young City Lord, is it possible that the guests in the City Lord's Mansion are ranked according to the heavenly stems? This Grade V seems to be really not low!" Lin Haoming thought for a while and asked.
"Haha, the little guy is right. Our city lord's palace is indeed divided in this way. It is divided into eleven levels. In addition to the ten numbers of heavenly stems, if there are monks in the integration stage who become guest ministers, they will get the guest minister elder order with the word "天" Cards, the E card in your hand is already the limit for monks in the transformation stage. The fourth-level tokens A, B, C, and D are only qualified to be held by monks in the Void Refining stage. You, a newly joined monk, can get it without making any contribution to the city lord's mansion. This token is the first one." The old man said something meaningful before waiting for Cang Xi to answer.
Lin Haoming couldn't help but frown a little after hearing this, because he felt that there was something hidden in these words, but it would take some time to find out what would happen.
"Lin Haoming, don't think too much. Although your name is Keqing, it just sounds nice. There are tens of thousands of guests in our city lord's mansion. Everyone in my demon army is a guest in the mansion, and they are also in the stage of transformation. There are more than one or two Wupai guests!" Cang Xi didn't want Lin Haoming to think too much, so she deliberately said these words at this time.
Although Lin Haoming nodded, he felt in his heart that if he got the W card, he might cause some trouble.
"As a guest of W Pai, little guy, you can receive ten true magic beads every year from now on. You can choose one for free every hundred years in the library of the city lord's palace that monks in the transformation stage can read. You will also have the right to prioritize certain tasks. Of course, you can be exempted from the previous rounds of competitions in the Ten Years' Skills Competition and the Hundred Years' Competition in the City Lord's Mansion." The old man simply said that as the guest of W Pai Welfare said something.
The amount of the former's salary really surprised Lin Haoming. After all, ten real magic beads are equivalent to twenty top-grade magic stones, which is several times what he would get as a high-level magic captain. But the most important thing is to go to the library to select classics. , I have reached the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage, and the advanced stage of refining is right in front of me. I urgently need to pick a book that will be of great help to the advanced stage of refining.
After introducing these, the old man said nothing more, and the two left here.
After walking out of the door, Cang Xi directly took out a jade slip and handed it to Lin Haoming and said: "Lin Haoming, this is the map of the City Lord's Mansion. All the places have been marked on it. There are places marked with red letters that you cannot go to. , the rest doesn’t matter, I have other things to do and I won’t accompany you. If you have any questions or important matters, you can just crush this jade slip and I will know!”
"Thank you, Young City Master, for your concern!" After hearing this, Lin Haoming saluted respectfully again.
"No need, I'll come find you when I have time!" Cang Xi waved her hand, then strode away, leaving Lin Haoming alone.
Watching the young city lord leave, Lin Haoming was a little confused. Did the young city lord really have something important? But no matter what, if the other party really cares about him too much, then he might really have to be wary. Now it makes Lin Haoming feel a lot more relaxed.
Thinking of the benefits that Uncle Feng said about Cang Xi before, Lin Haoming planned to go to the library immediately to have a look. The most important thing is to find a book that suits him.
The map recorded in the jade slip in his hand was indeed very detailed. The library pavilion was very close. Not only was it on the island, it was even next to the palace where he was. After Lin Haoming left the palace, he went straight there.
The library is indeed a pavilion, with seven floors in total. There are no books on the first floor. There are only a few monks in charge of the library sitting there, and a few of them are still registering something for others.
Lin Haoming was here for the first time. After looking around, he walked directly to one of them and said, "I want to choose a classic!"
Hearing Lin Haoming's words, the man didn't pay too much attention. He just said habitually: "Senior, please give me the identity card. After senior finds the classics, he will deduct the real magic beads according to the status of the classics."
"I should be able to pick one for free!" Lin Haoming took out his ID card and handed it to the other party.
"Ah! It turns out to be the W Pai. Forgive me for not knowing, senior, but you can indeed choose any tome below the fourth floor!" After the man saw it, his attitude became more respectful.
"Huh? Wu Pai!" At this time, a big man wearing armor turned around immediately when he heard the voice, and then looked at Lin Haoming with some astonishment.
Lin Haoming noticed the big man looking at him and just smiled slightly as a return gift.
However, the big man frowned a little and said: "I'm Shi Gu, the demon army. I don't know the name of this Taoist friend. Most of them know Shi, the guest Qing of Wupai in the Transformation Stage. I don't know who you are?"
"I'm Lin Haoming, I just joined the City Lord's Mansion not long ago!" Lin Haoming thought for a while and answered truthfully.
"What? You just joined the City Lord's Mansion?" Hearing Lin Haoming's answer, Shi Gu's face once again showed a look of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe it.
And his words also attracted other people, and Lin Haoming immediately heard someone talking in surprise: "How can a new member become a Wupai guest? Does this person have a great background?"
"Lin Haoming, I have never heard of it..."
"I saw the Young City Lord bringing this person in before. Could it be that the Young City Lord personally recommended this person?"
…
Lin Haoming heard these discussions, and Shi Gu naturally heard them too, and immediately asked for confirmation: "Did Fellow Taoist just come with the young city lord?"
"Not bad!" There was no intention to hide this matter at all, so he admitted it naturally.
"Young City Master has always had a keen eye to recognize heroes. Since Young City Master appointed fellow Taoist as Wupai Guest Minister, I think you must be extraordinary. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin can give me the honor to compete with Shi?" Shi Gu challenged him directly.
Lin Haoming couldn't help but frowned immediately after hearing this. Apparently, he now understood the meaning of the old man's words. Obviously, his identity would definitely cause dissatisfaction among others.
If he had known this, he might as well have taken the Geng card and forget it, but under the circumstances at that time, it was obviously impossible for him to speak to Cang Xi like this.
After thinking about it in his mind, Lin Haoming said: "Fellow Taoist Shi, Lin wants to choose a classic first."
"That's right. Shi can just wait here for fellow Taoist fellows!" Shi Gu said rather stubbornly, making it clear that he didn't want to leave without trying Lin Haoming's skills today.
Lin Haoming also sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, then fellow Taoist Shi, just wait a moment!"
After saying that, Lin Haoming headed upstairs first, regardless of what Shi Gu had in mind. (To be continued.)
