Luo Ting put away the flywheel under his feet and walked towards the open space surrounded by the carriage. Seeing him coming, the busy followers put down their work and saluted him, but he just waved his hand to indicate that everyone should continue working. Shen Dutong has a close personal relationship, and he will definitely not take the monks of the Luo family to go into this muddy water. After all, their first priority is to ensure that the soul-binding coffin is successfully buried at the target location.
The vegetation on the surface of the clearing has been completely cleared, and the remaining plant roots and insect nests underground have also been swept away. Luo Ting walked to the center of the clearing, stretched out his hand to touch the ground, and dark spiritual energy poured out from his hands. , going deeper and deeper below. Compared with the surface, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth underground is much thinner, which is more conducive to the stability of the soul coffin. Luo Ting manipulated the dark spiritual energy to assimilate the scattered spiritual energy of heaven and earth underground, until the large area under his feet was The area is completely clear.
At this time, a follower came forward and saluted Luo Ting, "Report to the steward, everything is ready over there. If there are no follow-up questions, you can start at any time. Lord Luo Qin is also over there. She said you If you are not worried, you can go and have a look again.”
Luo Ting took the spiritual energy back into his body without leaving a trace, stood up from the ground, and casually patted the dust on his clothes. Luo Qin was the female monk who used the half-moon jade to control the strongman. Among these monks, Her strength is second only to Luo Ting. At the same time, she is also the direct descendant of the head of the Luo family, and her status is somewhat more noble than Luo Ting. In addition, she is proficient in the art of alchemy and mercury, and has done a lot of research on cultivation. All matters related to the soul-binding coffin are covered. She was solely responsible for it. To put it bluntly, Luo Ting was just a transportation captain for this mission at best.
"She is thoughtful." Luo Ting smiled slightly, "Then lead the way and let's go take a look."
The monks who fought with Luo Ting are returning one after another. Although they are in the same Yuxu realm as Lin Xiaotian and others, their combat experience is quite different, and their willpower is much weaker. The battle after such a long-distance attack Most of them felt very tired, but after all, the battle just now was led by the border troops, and the monks killed by the warriors were not members of the Luo family, so there was no loss.
The monks sat cross-legged in the carriages and took the spirit-gathering pill they carried with them. This pill is made from several common medicinal materials. Its function is to improve the ability to perceive and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. More often, It is used to assist beginners in their practice, and it is also suitable to speed up the recovery of mana at this time.
The monks operated their own cultivation techniques and absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entered the body, it circulated along the meridians for several days, and finally was thrown into the sea of qi. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was particularly abundant in the secluded realm, and the monks The empty sea of qi was quickly filled, and the realm of many monks was improved. This is the benefit of practicing in the secluded realm.
When the Netherland was first discovered, many monks discovered this, and the major sects took notice and built many quiet rooms for cultivation in the Netherland, greatly increasing the speed of cultivation with the help of a steady stream of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. , but unfortunately, many monsters gradually emerged in the quiet realm, and it was no longer suitable for human survival, so these quiet rooms were abandoned, and now I am afraid that even the ruins cannot be found. A monk in plain robes finished his training first. He stepped out of the carriage and quickly came to Luo Ting and reported the situation to him: "Master Steward, all the monks have returned safely, and most of them are not injured. Only a few people were injured by the bone sword when resisting the attack of the strong man, but the wounds have been treated in time and will not affect their continued fighting. The few monks who stayed before have assembled the necessary things and are waiting for you. Ordered."
Luo Ting nodded with satisfaction and patted his shoulder, "Haoyang, you have done a good job. When I complete the task and return to the clan, I will truthfully report it to the head of the family. When the time comes, I will reward everyone based on their merits. Naturally, they will be rewarded." Yours, I've also sent a lot of people to take care of your parents, so you can feel at ease here. When you go back, go see them, they have been worried about you."
"Thank you, Sir." Luo Haoyang bowed to Luo Ting. He and Luo Ting were born in the same lineage. Their parents knew each other. In terms of blood relationship, he can be regarded as Luo Ting's distant cousin, although he is not as famous as Luo Ting. Ting is so outstanding, but he has also become a Yuxu monk. Ever since Luo Ting emerged, this cousin has been by his side and become a big help to him. Naturally, Luo Ting will not treat him badly. He took this cousin with him to participate in the mission that could make him great achievements.
Continuing to walk forward under the leadership of his entourage, Luo Ting came to a carriage covered by a tarpaulin. Several large boxes were placed open on the ground. The contents of the boxes had been taken out. They were some seemingly Like plates made of metal, the surfaces of these plates are etched with golden lines, exuding bursts of mana fluctuations. Several monks are controlling these plates around a dark red spherical core under the personal command of Luo Qin. When assembled, the plates are closely connected to each other with a mortise and tenon structure, and the assembly is completed without a single nail, housing the dark red spherical core inside.
Luo Qin was always concentrating on instructing the monks to operate and avoid letting the plates come into contact with the dark red spherical core, so she never noticed Luo Ting's arrival. It was not until all the plates were assembled that she breathed a sigh of relief and noticed that Luo Ting, who was smiling in the distance, saw Luo Ting coming. Luo Qin signaled the monks to check whether the joints of the plates were firm again, and he walked forward in three steps at a time, "Brother Luo Ting, come here." Yes, I specifically asked them to notify you later, and I want you to rest a little longer. You have consumed a lot of mana just now, and you have traveled for such a long time, and I am afraid that you are too tired."
"It's okay. When I was too exhausted before, you injected me with mana in time, so that my Qi sea would not be so empty. Moreover, I had enough rest during the journey. How is the condition of the Soul Binding Coffin? Now I can Is it landfilled? Complete the task as soon as possible and we can go back earlier. After what happened before, I always have an ominous premonition."
Luo Ting reached out and gently arranged Luo Qin's hair. Just now, she was focused on her work, sweat dripping from her forehead, and her wavy hair was stuck together. At this time, Luo Ting's slender fingers smoothed it out, and then it returned to its normal smoothness. Luo Ting also carefully wiped off the dust on her cheeks. Seeing how cute she looked, he pinched her cheeks. Luo Qin pretended to be angry and raised his pink fist towards Luo Ting. When he was called, Luo Ting did not dodge and allowed Luo Qin to do whatever he wanted. The atmosphere between the two was ambiguous, like a couple in love.
Of course, his status as a steward cannot satisfy Luo Ting's ambitions. Although he is now called an lord by many of the Luo family's children, his actual status is just that of a leader doing chores. If he wants to advance to the next level, he must find another way to hook up with Luo Ting. Qin is just an appearance. His real goal is to climb up to the elders behind Luo Qin. With the support of the elders, he can enter the core circle of the Luo family. Of course, he needs enough results to prove his strength. This time The task is a great opportunity.
As a newly rising aristocratic family, the Luo family naturally has their own uniqueness. They know the Nether Realm very well, secretly control many caves and paradises containing treasures, and provide the royal family with a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Later, they even attached themselves to it. The Eighth Prince, who controls the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is regarded as a powerful arm by the Eighth Prince. In addition, the Luo family has been making soul coffins for the court, becoming a new force for the court to expand its territory in the secluded realm.
After a moment of warmth with Luo Qin, Luo Ting walked to the soul-binding coffin. Several monks had completed the inspection to ensure that the plates were firmly connected. He stretched out his hand to touch the golden lines on the plates. Those lines looked like human blood vessels, vaguely There was something flowing in it, and Luo Ting felt a little strange, because his spiritual perception told him that the soul-binding coffin was alive.
"Don't be afraid, brother Luo Ting, your feeling is correct. There are living things in this soul coffin. Otherwise, why would it be called a coffin? You have had relatively little contact with it, so it is normal for you not to know." Luo Qin saw him With a strange look on his face, he stretched out his jade hand to pull his hand away, and then explained: "Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Netherland is extremely abundant, it is also mixed with many impurities. Under the nourishment of this spiritual energy of heaven and earth, those who were originally normal The creatures will turn into bloodthirsty and brutal monsters. In order to make the vast land in the Netherworld available to the court, a stunningly talented man invented the soul-binding coffin. As the name suggests, it seals the soul of the monk into the coffin. Among them, let the monk's sea of qi filter the impurities in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thereby ensuring that no new monsters will be produced in the surrounding area, and the imperial court thus demarcated a safe zone in the secluded realm."
"The dark red spherical core you see is the container used to carry the monk's soul. Its refining process is extremely complicated, and the required things are not easy to collect. Even I only know a rough idea, except for a large amount of heavenly materials. In addition to the treasures, we also need enough people. You should have noticed that the imperial court has so many death row prisoners every year, and most of them are sent to our clan. Presumably, they have become core materials. However, in recent years, there are not so many death row prisoners. If there are too many, I don’t know what these cores are made of now.”
After listening to Luo Qin's explanation, Luo Ting thought thoughtfully. It turns out that this is the function of the soul-binding coffin. No wonder the court takes great care of the Luo family. As long as there is a continuous supply of soul-binding coffins to purify the spiritual energy of the world, then in the netherworld The area of the safe zone will continue to increase, and the imperial court will be able to control more and more natural materials and treasures.
Regarding the questions raised by Luo Qin, Luo Ting also understood something. After becoming a steward, he handled many more affairs than before, and recruiting servants was one of them. However, the strange thing is that every year, the number of people who come from poverty rises. They recruited a large number of servants, but none of them appeared in the mansion in the end. Now that I think about it, they probably all became the raw materials for the dark red core. However, Luo Ting did not mention this matter to Luo Qin. After all, for those who For poor families, the money they receive from hiring a servant is enough to cover their family's expenses for a year.
