There is a white wall in the middle of the city, which is often guarded by sect disciples in rotation. There are many lists posted on the wall and some bounty tasks. Most of the information is not clear, so only some will be revealed after investigation and confirmation. Being sent to various sects, others can only try their luck here.
Early this morning, there was a person posting a list here, and the reward he offered was quite valuable. It seemed that the person behind it was not short of money. As the market gradually became crowded, more and more people crowded here to look at the list.
Three monks, two men and one woman, came here and looked at the reward on the list, slightly surprised.
Among them, the young monk who looked at the handsome and gentle man said: "It is actually a low-grade magic weapon in the shape of a seal? Judging from the power written on it, it is said... that it can weigh up to several thousand kilograms after being struck? If this is true, it is really rare. ”
The female cultivator frowned slightly: "But the person mentioned in the reward...is difficult to find."
Another male cultivator also frowned: "Now we can no longer find that Daoist Ye, and the talismans have been sold out. If we can't get more money, won't we have to suffer as before? Senior Brother Lu, Yuan Senior sister, can we think of a way to do this in advance?"
These three people were Lu Ming, Yuan Qin and Lan Qiguang who were selling spiritual talismans for Ye Shu from the Shimen Sect. At that time, they made a lot of money selling magic talismans, and they also had a lot of resources to practice, and their strength was greatly improved. Even because they swallowed a lot of pills, they all took a step forward together and became inner disciples!
It's a pity that just when they managed to squeeze through the inner door, all the talismans in stock were sold out, and they couldn't get any more. They also wanted to keep an eye on the fellow Daoist Ye who sent the talisman, but unfortunately the other party stopped setting up a stall, so they could not find his whereabouts.
As a result, after the money was used up, the rapid progress of several people's cultivation level stagnated and returned to the slow pace of the past. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept it and would hang out from time to time, hoping to meet that fellow Daoist Ye again—— Thinking that maybe after these days have passed, the talisman refiner behind has saved some talismans? It's a pity that I still haven't met fellow Daoist Ye, but I saw such a reward here, maybe it is.
The content of the reward is simple. It is said that it is a male cultivator who was on the second level of Qi Refining a year ago. There is not much other information, but the reward is very generous. It does not even require that the person be captured, as long as the trace can be provided to ensure that he can be connected to the person. If you meet him, there will be an excellent low-grade magic weapon as a reward! Who wouldn't want such a good thing?
Although there are three people including Lu Ming, Yuan Qin, and Lan Qiguang, one magic weapon may not be enough to share, but if they can capture that person alive, they can share one hundred thousand taels of silver, and each of them can also try the magic weapon. , compensate each other. At worst, if they can't be used, they can still sell them. It's a large amount of silver, which can keep them practicing for a long time.
In this case, after a few people agreed, they decided to inquire about it.
From the cultivation world to the mortal world, we have to cross a desert and pass through a small town. If we want to know the traces of the monk named Li, we may be able to get some news in that small town...
Lan Qiguang glanced at the list a few more times and sighed: "Since he is willing to pay such a high price, he doesn't even have the monk's face. Naturally, it is difficult to find him."
——He naturally didn’t know that when the monk surnamed Li dealt with the City Lord’s Mansion family, Yan Changlan didn’t see his face clearly. After he was hit with a palm, he stared at the face of the monk surnamed Li, but because of his own face There was a lot of blood on it, and I could only vaguely see the other party's cold eyebrows, but I couldn't remember more of it.
Lu Ming and Yuan Qin looked at each other and took Lan Qiguang with them to investigate.
They have to speed up their pace now. If they want such a good task, many monks will definitely receive it. If they are late, they will send a large amount of money to others.

As expected, the mission given by Yan Changlan attracted the attention of many monks.
And when there are more people, even if there is not much exact information, the person can still be hidden.
One night, someone came to the mission wall and read the words on the list carefully. Then he turned around and left quietly.
This man was not tall and had good movement skills. After walking through several alleys, he came to a small courtyard.
There were already several people waiting in the courtyard.
Seeing this man coming back, a monk asked: "How? But is it the one we recognize?"
The monk who came back replied in a low voice: "It looks like it. Think about it. A year ago, Li Ke said that he had to go out for something important? That time, we were worried that he would do something dangerous, so we called Xiao Liu. I followed him all the way, but found that he was going to the mortal world, right? The surname Li, one year ago, all the items in the mortal world matched, and this Li Ke was indeed a monk on the second level of Qi Refining... and After he came back, he was in a bad mood. When we went hunting together several times, he made many mistakes, and his boss even scolded him. Later, he got so angry that he simply left. I heard that he was now with an outer disciple of a certain sect, which would have great consequences in the future. It is possible that he will leave his status as a casual cultivator and enter a sect... By then, even if he is just a handyman at first, it will still be better than wandering outside..."
It is not easy for casual cultivators to join the sect. Firstly, they no longer know what kind of character they have developed outside, and it is difficult for them to be loyal to the sect after joining the sect. Secondly, most casual cultivators have average qualifications, one more than them but not more, and one less than them. Quite a few, and who knows if they are spies sent by other sects? Naturally, it is better to recruit young people with clean origins to join the sect as disciples.
In the past, only if the casual cultivator could establish a good relationship with the disciples of the sect, and the disciple of the sect was willing to vouch for it, and his status in the sect was not bad, could it be possible for the casual cultivators to join the sect. Li Ke originally joined them halfway. The other party will have such an opportunity soon. How can they not make these casual cultivators jealous?
Once jealous, betrayal is a matter of course.
What's more, before the betrayal, Li Ke had already left in anger, and obviously did not regard them as real life-and-death friends, so they naturally felt no guilt at all about betraying him.
So, several people discussed it and decided to find a way to block Li Ke.
"The mission is displayed on the wall with great fanfare. We must seize the time and find Li Ke quickly. Otherwise, it will be bad if others are asked to get there first."
"I heard that the seal is extremely powerful. If we can get it, we will be in less danger when we hunt in the future. Li Ke has always looked down on us, and now he is using his life to exchange for a better chance of survival for us. It’s worth it.”
"Be careful, and also find out what kind of disciple he is dating, and whether that disciple has a deep friendship with him. Otherwise, if I get something but offend the disciples of the sect, I may not be able to survive..."
"So what if you can't survive? Once you take things away and move them away, are you afraid that you won't be able to live a good life?"
"Third brother is right! As long as we have a magical weapon at our disposal, how can we, the casual cultivators, not be able to practice?"
"What are you afraid of? Look at the three elder seals on the list, and those three elders come from a large sect such as Baixiao Sect. The disciple Li Ke befriended is just an outer disciple, how can he compare to the elders? I think, We don’t need to be afraid...it’s impossible to say that the person Li Ke knows is an outer disciple of Baixiao Sect, so there’s no need to worry.”
Immediately, there was another burst of whispers.
Afterwards, they made a decision. They took a short rest and went to find Li Ke on the next day.

Yan Changlan was practicing swordplay on the edge of the cliff. He combined his swords on his left and right, with one hand flowing wind and the other hand thundering. After the two moves, they suddenly merged into one. He saw huge winds and lightnings constantly colliding, and two extremely terrifying powers flowed out. , and in such a collision, the wind and lightning seemed to have some vague signs of merging, which was shocking.
However, it still failed to fuse. After Yan Changlan put away his sword, he turned around and said, "Junior brother Xiao, what's the matter?"
It turned out that Xiao Ming had been waiting for a while. Yan Changlan saw it and stopped after practicing it once.
Xiao Ming hurriedly replied: "Senior Brother, there is news about the monk named Li!"
When Yan Changlan heard this, his fingers suddenly tightened. He suddenly looked at Xiao Ming. A flash of hatred suddenly flashed through his eyes, and then he returned to normal: "Junior Brother Xiao, please speak."
Xiao Ming never ignored that look in his eyes. It was because of his heart palpitations. At this moment, seeing Yan Changlan talking as usual, he calmed down and said solemnly: "The people who came to deliver the news this time are a few casual cultivators. They once had an encounter with a characteristic person. Similar monks practiced together for a period of time. Later, the monk surnamed Li fell out with them and ran away because he became a disciple of the sect. Later, several casual monks saw the list and thought that the monk surnamed Li might be the senior brother. Those who are looking for it will come and report after investigating."
Although Yan Changlan is bent on revenge, because he has been with Ye Shu for a long time, he is not as impatient as he was at the beginning, but has a calm attitude: "Disciple of the sect?"
Xiao Ming said: "It seems that they are the outer disciples of my Baixiao Sect." He smiled, "Those casual cultivators were originally a little afraid of offending the sect, but they didn't know that in this Baixiao Sect, which other disciples could More noble than Senior Brother? Even if there is someone who can be compared, it is only Senior Brother Zhou, the son of the leader..."
Yan Changlan interrupted him: "Be careful what you say."
Xiao Ming was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly realized that he was a little carried away, and hurriedly restrained himself: "Anyway, those casual cultivators confirmed that the news was true, and said they could immediately take us to find the cultivator surnamed Li."
Yan Changlan took a long breath: "Okay, let's go now."
Xiao Ming felt relieved: "Sir, please."

Fangshi, restaurant and elegant room.
There were six monks sitting here, sitting on one side of the round table as if facing a formidable enemy, whispering to each other, and the atmosphere was a bit serious.
One of the younger ones said: "Brothers, the owner of that list...is really coming? The one we saw earlier seems to be a disciple of the sect?"
The oldest one showed a wry smile: "More than just a sect disciple, Mr. Xiao is a direct disciple of the inner sect. From what he said, the person in charge this time is his senior brother, a genius with extraordinary qualifications. When we meet that person later, we must remember to be careful with our words and not to offend him."
Another person exclaimed: "It turns out that there are direct disciples of the sect behind him. No wonder he can come up with such a good thing without blinking an eye. But if we make it, he won't..."
Another person said: "If you make a big commitment, you shouldn't do it."
"You said you can't kill us? Naturally, you don't have to keep your promise."
"Don't talk nonsense! I and many of these people are not weak in realm. Even if they are direct disciples of a large sect, I will not rashly silence them..."
Afterwards, the door rang.
Several people fell silent for a moment and looked out the door with bated breath.
The next moment, the door was opened.
The first person was of medium build and dignified appearance. He was none other than Mr. Xiao, a descendant of the Baixiao clan they had seen before. The person following Mr. Xiao was slightly taller than him, with a strong body and handsome appearance, but could From his sharp eyes, it can be seen that he himself has experienced bloody battles and is a man of great ability.
Is this...the senior senior brother who is the direct disciple behind the scenes?
As expected, it is better to meet than to be famous.
Several people did not dare to neglect, and they all stood up and handed over their hands: "In the six fields of Black Mountain, I have seen two direct descendants of the Baixiao Sect."
