"There will still be some time left in the Cloud-Climbing Competition, right? So, I can still live for a long time, hehe..."
Ling Xiao spoke loudly, without any worry on his expression.
The old man surnamed He said solemnly: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you? Anyway, if you die, people will only doubt the Cai family, and no one will think of the night watchman."
Ling Xiao disagreed and just asked: "Senior, is he addicted to gambling?"
Bet that the Huntian League can't find any clues.
But obviously, the old man's chances of winning are not high.
The holding of the Chengyunxian Association is related to the development plan of the Huntian Alliance in the next fifty years. With so many Nascent Soul powerhouses sitting there, how could they know nothing about the arrival of the Night Watchmen?
These words really pinched the old man surnamed He seven inches, and the latter fell into silence.
Nangong Zhu stood behind the old man and couldn't help but said: "You should think about it after the competition is over, right? The ancestor of the Cai family will not let you go, and you don't want to live in the shadow of death for decades to come, right?"
Ling Xiao said: "Who gave me no choice?"
Cai Mao must die.
If he dies, Ling Xiao will only be hunted down by the ancestor of the Cai family.
If he doesn't die, the ancestors of the Cai family and Cai Mao will hunt down Ling Xiao.
Just looking at the opponent's performance in the ring, he doesn't seem to be a magnanimous person.
"So you can join the Night Watch and guard the Ancient Forest of Ten Thousand Demons. The Cai family will definitely not find you. It is safer than any of the Immortal Sects you join in the Huntian League!" Nangong Zhu advised in a persuasive manner.
Ling Xiao shook his head with a smile and stretched out two fingers.
"First, you must agree to the conditions I proposed before, otherwise there is no need to negotiate; second, even so, I will not join the Night Watch. We are just a cooperative relationship. When the thirty years expire, I will leave."
Nangong Zhu was speechless for a moment and was secretly angry.
I thought that Ling Xiao had narrowed his path, so the Night Watchmen could naturally take him under their wing, but I didn't expect that this guy was born with a stubborn streak and would not be able to adapt even when disaster strikes!
The old man surnamed He remained calm, looked at Ling Xiao for a while, and said slowly: "Boy, unless you completely join the Night Watch, I will not agree to your terms."
The conditions offered by Ling Xiao were enough to recruit three or four late-stage foundation-building experts at the same time, but the old man surnamed He could not agree.
However, Ling Xiao also proved that he has the strength to surpass his peers!
In this way, the old man surnamed He is not unable to make some concessions.
"Fifty thousand a year is the bottom line. If you agree, just sign it!"
The old man surnamed He threw out a jade slip, obviously prepared for it.
Ling Xiao was waiting for this moment. Instead of accepting the jade slip, he chuckled and said, "Fifty thousand? I have to know the specific work content before I can consider whether to sign this contract, right?"
The old man surnamed He had already prepared and threw another jade slip.
Ling Xiao picked it up and checked it.
…
There are ninety-nine Ancient Forests of Ten Thousand Demons in Yunhuang Continent, and their origins have been subject to different opinions for thousands of years.
Some people say that the Ancient Forest of Ten Thousand Demons existed when Chaos first opened, and some say that they are forbidden places left by the Qianqiu Holy Emperor to suppress the remnants of demons.
But one thing is certain, there are really countless ferocious demons suppressed inside, some of them are even terrifying existences that can shatter the void and ascend to the fairy world!
For thousands of years, even the night watchmen did not know exactly what kind of evil things were suppressed inside.
The work of guarding is easy to say and difficult to say.
It is said to be simple because most of the time, the Night Watchmen do not need to pay attention to the situation of Ten Thousand Demons Gusen and only need to live a normal life in the camp.
It's difficult because every other month, you have to go deep into the forest and use special potions to strengthen the forbidden magic circle in the Ancient Forest of Ten Thousand Demons.
Not only are there thorny monsters living in the forest, but even the plants are corroded by the evil energy and become aggressive. Their characteristics may even change at any time, without any rules.
What was a piranha yesterday may become a poisonous flower strain today.
What was a strangling vine yesterday may become a bottomless trap today.
Moreover, monks who use their magic power in the forest will also be eroded by demonic energy. This is why only body-forging monks can guard the Ancient Forest of Ten Thousand Demons.
In addition, there are some taboos such as no more than two people entering the forest at the same time, which sounds similar to the rules of the Forsaken Land.
Ling Xiao carefully browsed the information about Ten Thousand Demons Gusen and fell into a long test.
In terms of intelligence, there was nothing special. No matter how dangerous the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Forest was, Ling Xiao laughed it off. After all, the forest was his home turf.
What concerned him instead was the location of the Ancient Forest of Ten Thousand Demons guarded by the night watchmen named He.
It's actually on a remote island!
Only now did Ling Xiao feel that going there to live in seclusion for thirty years seemed to be a good choice.
But the conditions that should be fought for still have to be fought for!
He picked up the jade slip of the contract.
When the old man surnamed He saw this, he finally showed a little smile. Looking at Ling Xiao's face now, he suddenly felt much more pleasing to the eye.
The content of the contract was consistent with what the old man surnamed He said, and it also agreed to Ling Xiao's request to pay remuneration in advance.
It's equivalent to each side giving in.
Ling Xiao put down the jade slip, pondered for a moment, and said: "Is the opportunity you gave me the opportunity to form a pill, is it definitely the best? Do you have an appraisal certificate or something? Can you show me?"
Nangong Zhu suddenly rolled his eyes.
The old man surnamed He was not annoyed. He stroked his white beard and said, "I don't have a certificate, but I am absolutely top-notch. I can guarantee it with my personality."
Not as good as a certificate.
Ling Xiao's face darkened.
But what the old man did next was unexpected. He patted the storage bag and took out two boxes.
"Magic Eye Pill, the best opportunity to form a pill, one for you and Zhu'er each."
While talking, the old man handed one of the boxes to Nangong Zhu.
This woman was overjoyed. Just now she was jealous that Ling Xiao could settle the account in advance, but she didn't expect that she would also be treated like this!
Ling Xiao did not accept the box, his eyes widened and he said, "Devil Eye Pill? What's the promised 50% chance of forming the pill?"
These days, he has been doing a lot of preparations for the opportunity to form a pill, and he has also learned about various opportunities to form a pill from multiple channels. The Magic Eye Pill is one of them, which can increase a person's chance of forming a pill by 20%. It is an extremely precious thing.
However, this is inconsistent with the original promise of the old man surnamed He!
The other party said at the beginning that there was a 50% chance!
Unexpectedly, the old man surnamed He didn't blush and said calmly: "Either the elixir formation is successful or the elixir formation fails, isn't there a 50-50 probability?"
Ling Xiao was stunned.
Can it still be calculated like this?
Your math was taught by your physical education teacher, right?
The old man surnamed He had a face thicker than the city wall. He spread his hands and said, "I only have the Magic Eye Pill. Do you want it?"
Ling Xiao couldn't bear to punch this old scoundrel!
You are so good at painting cakes, it would be a pity if you don’t become a capitalist!
After a long silence, Ling Xiao finally hummed: "I have one last condition. If senior agrees, I can suffer some losses and sign your contract!"
