The night is quiet and deep in the forest. The shadow ghost forest is quiet and eerie. The phosphorus fire flickers, the shadows of the trees are mottled and intertwined, and it looks like a ghost realm.
The sound of rustling dead leaves in the wind, accompanied by the sporadic strange chirping of insects, and the pairs of green eyes dormant in some corners of the forest, all make the jungle more eerie and terrifying.
"Hoo, ho!" In the ghost forest, there is a huge black panther with a slender body, carrying a figure on its back, and is running quickly through the forest. If you look closely, the person riding it is actually Pu Chu, the leader of the fourth team of the defense team. At this time, he should be patrolling the outer defense line of the ghost forest. How could he appear in this ghost forest?
"Disciple Pu Chu, pay homage to Master Qiuji!" Soon, the black panther passed through the dense forest and came to a stop next to a small black water silt. The water in this pool was black and green, and exuded a disgusting smell. With the rotten smell, Pu Chu jumped off the black panther's back and bowed his hands to the empty stinking pool.
"Here we come!" At this time, a shadow slowly appeared in the midair of the silt, wearing a black robe and a black hat on his head. It was the ghost cultivator Qiuji Taoist. Apparently, this Taoist Qiuji had been waiting in the silt for a long time, and Pu Chu also deliberately Come and meet.
"Get up!" I saw Taoist Qiuji using one hand to squeeze the word "photograph", and his handprint pointed to the pool below. With a burst of bubbles emerging, two silver-white "Lingji Mine Boxes" slowly rose from the pool. , floating and flying to the ground at Pu Chu's feet.
"Heizi, come here!" Pu Chu waved to his pet beast, the third-level monster "Black Wind Leopard" behind him.
The Black Wind Leopard immediately approached and lay down on the ground. Pu Chu first took out a shelf and skillfully placed it on the Black Wind Leopard's generous back. Then he took the two "Lingjiao Mine Boxes" on the ground and put them on the ground. The left and right clothes were hung on the shelves on Leopard's back.
"Be careful!" Taoist Qiuji warned after seeing Pu Chu loading the spirit mustard ore box and floating in the air.
"Don't worry! Disciple knows!" Pu Chu rode on the back of Black Wind Leopard and replied easily.
"Go!" In recent years, Pu Chu, the cousin of Junior Brother Shangxu, has been responsible for transporting the mine boxes out of the ghost forest. There has never been any trouble. Taoist Qiuji has nothing to worry about and said immediately.
"Heizi, let's go!" Pu Chu said no more and patted the Black Wind Leopard under him. Then the Black Wind Leopard turned into a phantom and rushed out, rushing towards the Gray Mist Mountain outside the ghost forest.
A quarter of an hour later, the Black Wind Leopard, carrying Pu Chu and two "Spirit Mustard Mine Boxes", arrived at the defense area near the ghost forest. He hid in the shadow of the dense forest and observed the movement outside the forest.
Seeing that there was silence and no one around, the Black Wind Leopard turned into a black flash of light again, rushed out of the ghost forest in an instant, and quickly disappeared into the night.
…
"Uncle Master has been away for more than ten days, and I don't know how long it will be before he returns to the guardhouse!" Liu Yu took out the garrison tray and looked at it. After seeing that everything was fine, he put it away again.
Liu Yuzheng was patrolling the defense area around the ghost forest with his sword. After Tuoba Yan left the guardhouse, Liu Yu was worried and would patrol the defense area every half a day.
"It's Uncle Xuanting, captain, what should we do?" Wang Qingchi, deputy captain of the fourth team, was chatting with a short and thin team member on a big tree when he saw a sword light flying from a distance.
When they saw the short and thin team members, they were immediately startled. The defense team was confused as to why Senior Xuanting was still patrolling in the middle of the night. What would they do if he discovered something? They couldn't help but hurriedly said.
"Why are you panicking? Don't talk too much for a while!" Wang Qingchi glared at the short and thin team member and said calmly.
"Wang Qingchi, Deng Bu pays homage to your uncle!" The two men immediately jumped down from the tree and greeted Liu Yu who was holding his sword down.
"Is there a situation?" Liu Yu put away her sword and landed on the ground, and asked immediately.
"Uncle, don't worry! I've driven away a few wandering ghosts in one night, and there's nothing else going on." Wang Qingchi said with a smile.
"Yeah! By the way, where are the Pu Chu people?" Liu Yu nodded, and then asked. Along the way, he was about to pass the defense area of the fourth team, but the leader of the fourth team, Pu Chu, was still nowhere to be seen. Where have they gone?
"This..." Deng Bu, a short and thin team member, broke into a cold sweat.
"Uncle Master took a step and said." Seeing this, Wang Qingchi hurriedly spoke.
"What's the matter?" Liu Yu asked with a frown after following Wang Qingchi and moving aside.
"Uncle Master doesn't know that Senior Brother Pu has an adult third-level "Black Wind Leopard". In order to feed this beast, he goes into the forest every few days to find food for his "Black Wind Leopard"."
"The sect has an order not to allow defensive disciples to go hunting in the forest, and Senior Brother Pu also knows that. However, Senior Brother Pu has raised the Black Wind Leopard for many years and cannot bear to see it starve, so..." Wang Qingchi pretended to look embarrassed. , said.
"I won't talk about this to anyone. When Pu Chu comes back, you can tell him that he can take care of things by himself on weekdays and don't delay defense. But these days, Uncle Taixiong is not at the guard station. Let him put defense first and don't be too meddlesome. .”
Liu Yu has a white mother, so he naturally knows the hardships of raising a spiritual beast. He is not disgusted with Pu Chu's small action in secret. He doesn't have to report this little thing to the sect, and he said immediately.
"Qingchi thanked his uncle on behalf of senior brother Pu. When senior brother Pu comes back, he will definitely bring his words to him." Wang Qingchi said gratefully.
He knew that Master Xuanting wouldn't say anything. When he came to know that Master Xuanting himself had a fifth-level foundation-building spiritual beast "Jade Chi Snake", which he often kept in the ghost forest.
Secondly, after six months of contact, the Master Xuanting in front of me usually has no airs and is always easy to talk to.
"Well!" Liu Yu said no more, summoned the flying sword and took off into the air, turned back and continued to patrol the ghost forest, because this place is already the farthest end of the sect's patrol defense line on the left, and beyond that is the defense line of Wanyao Valley. .
"What a risk!" After Liu Yufei left, the short and thin Deng Bu immediately leaned over and said to Wang Qingchi.
"What are you afraid of? As long as we are careful, he will see something." Wang Qingchi glared at Deng Bu angrily. He failed to achieve anything but failed more than he did, almost revealing his flaws.
…
Three days later, Tuoba Yan returned to the Tianshi Guards along with Meng Shengming who came to deliver supplies. The whole camp was excited, and for no other reason, because it was time to distribute salaries and move out of the dining hall. A long table was set up in the camp square, and all the disciples of the Wei School felt that they were lining up in front of the long table.
"Li Bolin, a member of the first defense team, has a monthly salary of 40, a salary of 100, a guard subsidy of 20, and a total of 960 low-level spiritual stones for half a year, please pay!"
"I'm coming!"
"Bai Guangchen, captain of the first defense team, has a monthly salary of 80, a salary of 100, a subsidy of 100 from the guard station, and a total of 1,680 low-level spiritual stones for half a year, which will be pledged!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
"Wei Hui, supervisor of the mining team, monthly salary of 80, salary of 150, health center subsidy of 100, a total of 1,980 low-level spiritual stones for half a year, pledge!"
…
Tuoba Yan sat boldly behind the long table, counting down the roster. Several disciples, including Tuoba Ying and Tuoba Li, were helping to distribute their salaries from the storage bags filled with spiritual tickets and the spiritual treasures piled with spiritual stones. From the mustard money box, brand new spiritual tickets and scattered spiritual stones were taken out.
After being busy for a long time, except for the two defense team members stationed outside, the salaries of the other guard disciples have been paid out. Liu Yu also received his six-month basic monthly salary of 4,200 low-level spiritual stones, and his position salary of 4,000 yuan. Ten thousand low-level spiritual stones.
"Is nothing wrong?" Afterwards, Liu Yu was called into the house by Tuoba Yan and asked if there was any condition in the ghost forest during his absence.
"Everything is as usual! Nothing happened." Liu Yu hurriedly replied, and at the same time returned the garrison tray to Tuobayan.
"Yes!" Tuoba Yan nodded and put away the garrison tray.
"That's right! The sect has collected the twenty magic talismans you asked Pindao to hand over. For each magic talisman, the sect will give 8,000 low-level spiritual stones and 500 contribution points." Tuoba Yan remembered and said, and then handed it to Liu Yu received a large stack of spiritual tickets.
"This..." Liu Yu couldn't help frowning as she took the spirit ticket.
If the sect only pays this amount for each "Yinfengsta" talisman, excluding the finished talisman, each talisman can only earn about 200 low-level spiritual stones, plus 500 contribution points.
Although the contribution points are very precious, they are of no use to Liu Yu for the time being. Moreover, Liu Yu has not used any of the 400,000 contribution points awarded by the sect for a hundred years since the Northland trip, and they are all stored in the sect's Jade Order.
Originally, Liu Yu expected that Yu Wei would draw a "Yinfeng Thorn" talisman, which would save one mid-level Yin stone, which was equivalent to 600 low-level spiritual stones.
Although the fourth-level Yin attribute talisman blood purchased through Meng Shengming costs 11,400 low-level spiritual stones per bottle, which is about 600 low-level spiritual stones per bottle than the Beidi talisman blood.
However, one bottle of talisman blood can draw two "Yin Wind Thorn" talismans, so counting the finished products of other spiritual materials and the 90% success rate, in short, the cost of one "Yin Wind Thorn" is still about 400 yuan cheaper. Low-level spiritual stone.
If the sect is willing to purchase a large amount, there should be a way, it depends on the purchase price of the sect.
However, Liu Yu did not expect that the purchase price offered by the sect was so low. You must know that when he was in the North, a "Shadow Wind Thorn" talisman was sold for 9,400 low-level spiritual stones. This talisman had not been sold by Liu Yu before. It has never been sold in Yunzhou, but I think the price must be high rather than low.
But he never thought of handing it over to the sect. Each "Yinfeng Thorn" talisman only had a profit of 200 low-level spiritual stones.
Calculated based on the medicine money of 3,500 low-level spiritual stones consumed for daily practice, if the sales of magic talismans are not considered, the sect will take them all, and it will need to draw eighteen "Yinfeng Thorns" every day to be able to satisfy its own needs. Daily practice in the health center.
If it were for other fourth-level talismans, excluding the time spent on daily practice, I could barely draw them in one day.
However, when drawing the "Yin Wind Thorn", it takes a lot of effort to control the flow of Yin Qi. Not only is it difficult to make the talisman, but it also takes three times as long as other fourth-level talismans.
In other words, after working hard and without leaving home for a day, Liu Yu could make seven or eight "Yinfengthorn" talismans. As a result, the purchase price offered by the sect was obviously far from enough. What should we do if we need to maintain our daily practice?
"What? Are you not satisfied with the price given by the sect?" Tuoba Yan guessed the reason when he saw Liu Yu's frown.
In fact, according to him, if the "Yinfeng Thorn" talisman painted by Xuan Yu's nephew was put on the market, the appropriate price should be 9,500 to 10,000 low-level spiritual stones. The price offered by the sect was indeed a bit low.
"Uncle Master, as you know, it is difficult for the disciple to show up recently, so the drawn talisman has to be handed over to the sect for the time being. However, the disciple is indeed a little dissatisfied with the purchase price of the sect."
"I wonder if we can discuss with the sect to reduce the contribution points and directly give more spiritual stones, so that the disciples can buy elixirs for practice." Liu Yu thought for a while, and if there was no way to charge a lower price, then lower the price. If he could give more spiritual stones, Just stone.
"Don't worry! The sect has already considered it. If my nephew can hand over this talisman in large quantities on time, I won't treat you badly. The sect's internal treasury has been tight over the years, so we can't afford a high price."
"But the sect can provide talisman blood for my nephew. Each bottle is sold for only 11,200 low-level spiritual stones, which is much lower than the market price. How about it?" Tuoba Yan said with a smile.
It turns out that Taoist Bai Yi, the steward of Gaocang Hall, saw that the "Yinfeng Thorn" talisman handed over by Liu Yu was powerful and of good quality, and could be used by disciples in the later stages of Qi training.
Whether it is for commercial sale or as a sect war preparation material, it is very suitable. After learning about it through Tuoba Yan, he wanted to have the sect directly provide the talisman blood and let Liu Yu draw a large number of "Yinfengthorn" talismans.
"That's great!" Liu Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed.
If each bottle of talisman blood only requires 11,200 low-level spiritual stones, the cost of making the talisman can be reduced. Counting the "Yin Wind Thorn" talisman, you can earn 400 low-level spiritual stones and 500. Contribution points.
In this way, it is almost enough to maintain his daily practice, and the talisman blood is provided by the sect, so there is no need for Liu Yu to worry about the quantity or quality.
In addition, the talisman was purchased by the sect. No matter how many "Yinfengthorn" talismans Liu Yu drew, the sect could eat them all, and Liu Yu did not need to worry about the sales. How could this not make Liu Yu excited? .
