After returning to the sect from Soul Burial Mountain, Xiao Ding found that the other three people in the dormitory were all missing.
It was getting late at this time. Normally, the three people should stay in the dormitory at this time, but where did they go?
So Xiao Ding knocked on the door of the dormitory next door and asked the outer disciples in the dormitory next door. Only then did he find out that Li Tianliang and the other two had accepted a new mission from the sect and went to Tianyang City to handle business.
When Xiao Ding heard the name Tianyang City again, he couldn't help but feel some yearning for it. I thought to myself that it has been almost three months since I came to Tiankunxing Continent. Most of the time I have stayed in the sect. If I have the opportunity, I should go out and explore from time to time. Since this Tianyang City is under the control of Tianyang Sect, it doesn't hurt to go shopping when you have time.
What's more, there is currently no news about the other people who came to Tiankunxing Continent with him. If he stays in the sect all day long, how can he find out about them?
After learning the whereabouts of Li Tianliang and the others, Xiao Ding went to Kaiyang Peak's canteen to have dinner alone.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ding met Qin Taibao and his four followers again on the second floor of the cafeteria.
Although Qin Taibao is a disciple of Shouyang Peak, because of his strong family background and his tendency to show off, he is not well received by his fellow disciples at Shouyang Peak. On the contrary, these followers of Kaiyangfeng followed him wholeheartedly.
After all, before joining the sect, they were good friends who often hung out together. Although these four followers each bought a low-grade Sheng Yuan Dan from Qin Taibao a few days ago, they were depressed for several days because they spent a high price. However, they did not mean to blame Qin Taibao. Instead, they felt that they were too unlucky to buy Xiao Ding's low-priced low-grade Sheng Yuan Dan.
Qin Taibao also had a grudge against Xiao Ding for this matter. If Xiao Ding hadn't sold the Sheng Yuan Dan at a low price, how could he have been robbed of his limelight? How could he lose face in front of his good friends? My family had some connections and trusted acquaintances, and finally got the low-grade Sheng Yuan Dan. I didn't make a penny and sold it to four good friends at the original price. As a result, Xiao Ding got a bunch of the same elixirs that were many times cheaper than his own and sold them in the sect. This was obviously targeting him!
Therefore, when he saw Xiao Ding walking into the canteen and going up to the second floor to order food, he felt uncomfortable.
Seeing Xiao Ding coming over with a dinner plate, Qin Taibao said in a strange way: "Oh, who is it? Isn't this the poor guy named Tian from the outer sect? It seems that he earned points by selling elixirs. , how dare you come to the second floor to eat."
Xiao Ding also saw Qin Taibao and others, and heard Qin Taibao's words, but Xiao Ding ignored them. If you are bitten by a mad dog, do you still want to bite the mad dog back?
However, the more Xiao Ding ignored Qin Taibao, the angrier Qin Taibao became. Xiao Ding was ignored every time. He was used to being arrogant. When others saw him, they would nod and bow, or stay away. But the boy named Tian in front of him didn't even bother to look at him. This kind of The feeling of being looked down upon is really unpleasant.
So, he shouted again: "Tian Xiaoding, you don't have to pretend to me, I know you heard what I said. Why don't you dare to speak? Are you afraid of us?"
Xiao Ding found an empty seat and sat down, rolled his eyes and rolled his eyes at Qin Taibao, and then said: "Where are those flies coming from? They are buzzing and buzzing. It's really noisy!"
When Qin Taibao heard this, it was obvious that Xiao Ding was scolding him, so he immediately said, "Don't you dare to use your words. If you don't accept, we will leave the sect and arrange a place to compete."
Xiao Ding shook his head contemptuously and said, "I don't fight with fools."
"You..." Qin Taibao was choked again and was speechless.
At this time, one of the followers beside him reminded him: "Senior Brother Qin, if you want to teach him a lesson, you don't need to leave the sect! Next year will be our sect competition once every ten years. Then we will be in the ring with him. It’s not too late to start a competition!”
"Yes, when the sects compete, go to the ring and teach him a lesson." Another follower echoed.
Hearing this, Qin Taibao nodded and said, "Yes, in a few months, it will be time for the sect competition. Tian Xiaoding, when the time comes, do you have the guts to sign up for the sect competition?"
"Sect competition?" Although Tian Xiaoding had heard of it before, some sects would regularly hold competitions within the sect to select outstanding disciples or for other purposes. However, this was the first time he had heard of the Tianyang Sect’s sect competition, and he didn’t know much about the details.
"Yes, in a few months, the sect's sect competition will be held once every ten years. All disciples can participate by then. Don't you dare to sign up?" Qin Taibao thought of the sect's upcoming competition. After the big competition, he started to feel proud again.
Although Xiao Ding didn't know much about the sect competition, he felt uncomfortable when he saw Qin Taibao's smug look, so he said nonchalantly: "Why don't I dare to sign up? Isn't it because I'm afraid of you? "
When Qin Taibao heard that Xiao Ding had agreed to sign up by then, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, if you have the guts, we'll see you in the ring then..."
After speaking, he picked up the wine glass on the table, drank the remaining half of the glass in one gulp, then greeted his four followers, got up and left the second floor of the restaurant.
Xiao Ding slowly finished his meal and then returned to the dormitory alone.
Without the other three people in the dormitory, the room seemed much quieter. After Xiao Ding sat on the bed and practiced the technique for a while, he suddenly thought that he had not entered the world of the Qiankun Pot for several days, so with a thought, he was already in the Qiankun Pot.
However, after entering the world inside the pot, Xiao Ding was shocked. On the shore of the small lake, four little pigs were lying in a haphazard manner, sleeping soundly. The piece of black soil that he had moved in by the lake was The purple ginseng ginseng field was ruined by the four little demon pigs.
Many branches and leaves of spiritual ginseng have been eaten by these four little demon pigs, and as many as seven or eight roots of thousand-year-old ginseng have been dug out by these four little demon pigs. , Fortunately, these old ginseng were all very big, and the four little demon pigs only ate four or five ginseng, and the remaining three or four ginseng were only partially eaten.
After seeing this, Xiao Ding immediately became furious. Good guy, I can't bear to enjoy these old ginseng, but you piggies have harmed them. I wonder if I won't kill you to eat pork today.
Thinking of this in his mind, he immediately took out his weapon mace. He held the mace angrily and wanted to go over and smash the four little demon pigs to death one by one, and then eat their pork.
However, the four little demon pigs were still sleeping soundly at this time and did not know that they were about to die.
Xiao Ding came to the four little demon pigs, raised his mace, aimed it at the pigs' heads, and was about to hit them. Suddenly, he stopped again.
Looking at the sword-shaped spikes that had just grown on the bodies of these four little demon pigs, which were not very long and very hard, Xiao Ding suddenly remembered the two adult golden bamboo sword pigs on Loujingang. Once this kind of monster grows to adulthood, the sharp thorns on its body can be used to attack, retreat or defend. It is also a good thing. If these four little monster pigs can be tamed by themselves, they can be used by themselves in the future. Got a right-hand man?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding slowly lowered the mace he raised high.
But, how can we tame these four little demon pigs into obeying our own words?
Xiao Ding immediately thought of the Spirit Control Sect he had encountered when he was in that ancient country on Earth. His pair of Shadowless Ice Silkworms was obtained from Fengling Sanren, the head of Yuling Sect at that time. Along with the Shadowless Ice Silkworm, there was also a book from the Spirit Control Sect, "Notes on the Spirit Control Technique".
Regarding the introduction and use of Shadowless Ice Silkworm, Xiao Ding learned it from this "Notes on the Art of Controlling Spirits".
At this moment, he thought of the "Spirit Controlling Technique Notes" again. He vaguely remembered that this book seemed to contain a method of contracting with the soul of a spiritual beast.
So Xiao Ding immediately found the "Notes on Spirit Control" from the jade pendant space. After consulting it, he finally found the specific method of soul contracting with spirit beasts.
So, Xiao Ding immediately followed the method recorded in this book, first cut his finger with a dagger, and then dropped a drop of blood and threw it on the forehead of one of the little demon pigs.
Then he ran the technique, covered the little demon pig's forehead with his hand, and forcibly injected his own blood into the pig's brain with spiritual power. Then he used the power of divine consciousness to invade the little demon pig's sea of consciousness, forcing Make a soul contract with it, making it recognize itself as the master, obey its command forever, live and die as it pleases. If you dare to disobey your master's orders, your soul will be destroyed when your spiritual consciousness reaches it.
Following the same pattern, Xiao Ding quickly successfully contracted the souls of these four little demon pigs with his own. This is mainly because the four little demon pigs, despite their size, are actually still childish in age. They should not be more than a few months old after being born. They never thought that they had been soul-contracted by Xiao Ding in their sleep. From then on, they became Xiao Ding's followers, and they were not able to go against their master's wishes.
When Xiao Ding looked at the destroyed old ginseng, he immediately felt no pain at all. It’s not much different from feeding it to your followers to enjoying it yourself! Anyway, these four little pigs will gradually become his assistants in the future. As their cultivation level improves, it will be equally beneficial to him!
After thinking about this, Xiao Ding immediately raised his brows and felt relieved. Instead, he pulled out two more old ginseng branches whose leaves had been severely chewed by the little demon pig.
Then he kicked each of the four little demon pigs to wake them up, and then ordered them to pick up a few old ginseng roots that had been chewed to pieces on the ground, and follow him towards the cave.
Although the little demon pigs couldn't figure out why they became the followers of the big human in front of them for no reason, they had a deep-seated fear of the big human in front of them. They can sense that if they are unwilling to obey the orders of this big human, then it will be easy for this big human to kill them.
Xiao Ding brought the four little demon pigs to the courtyard of the cave at the foot of the mountain. After closing the door of the house and the courtyard, he also threw the two old ginseng sticks in his hands to the four little pigs, and with a thought , left the world of Qiankun Pot.
When he returned to the real world, it was already midnight, and he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Before going to bed, I was still thinking, when can I go to Tianyang City for a stroll?
