…
In this courtyard covering dozens of acres, dozens of small courtyards are built next to each other, and several alleys shuttle through it.
Because it was already past noon, the general Qi-training monks had basically finished practicing, so at this time, sporadic Qi-training monks could be seen walking around in various alleys.
"Haha, Yang Chong, do you have time recently?"
Near the edge of this building complex, a middle-aged man with a rich appearance smiled and said to the oncoming young man.
Upon hearing this, the rather ordinary-looking young man immediately returned the gift, and then replied with a slight embarrassment:
"Fellow Daoist Xin, I've been busy with the weapon training task assigned by my master recently. I really don't have time for what I said last time. I really don't have time for it, so please don't take it offence." After saying that, he turned to the middle-aged man who looked at him with a handsome face. The man arched his hands.
As soon as these words came out, the monk surnamed Xin, who was originally smiling, couldn't help but pause. The smile gradually disappeared. Then his face darkened and he said in a subtle tone:
"Yeah?"
"But as far as I know, the task assigned by my master to fellow Taoist Yang is to refine three first-level low-grade magic weapons every month. As a first-level weapon trainer, fellow daoist will not tell you that even this task is Can’t it be finished?”
Hearing this, the young man surnamed Yang couldn't help but have a hint of impatience in his eyes, but... in the end he patiently explained in a low voice:
"Fellow Daoist Xin didn't know something. It was originally true. But starting from the past two days, the master's family suddenly increased the workload. From now on, I have to refine five low-grade magic weapons every month. Therefore, what I said, fellow Taoist, I There’s really nothing we can do.”
As soon as these words came out, the monk surnamed Xin was speechless immediately, but he was not willing to give up just like that. It was not easy for him to find a weapon refiner to refine magic weapons for him. After all, he was only Seven levels of Qi training.
Moreover, in order to collect the spiritual materials for refining the magic weapon, he basically invested all his wealth in it, and he had no spare time to ask other weapon trainers to take action.
The fifth-level qi-training weapon trainer in front of him was the best candidate he could think of, and he had a handle on this person!
At that moment, the monk surnamed Xin raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said in a meaningful tone:
"Fellow Taoist Yang, don't blame me for not reminding you..."
"In the past few missions, without exception, Taoist friends would disappear within half a stick of incense. The key point is that where the Taoist friends disappeared, it would not be long before mortals disappeared nearby..."
Having said this, the monk surnamed Xin looked at the young man surnamed Yang with a look full of teasing, and then continued to speak leisurely, but the words became a voice transmission.
"If you don't want my master to know about this, fellow Taoist, you'd better do what I do!"
"Otherwise...hehe!"
Hearing the words of the monk surnamed Xin, the young man surnamed Yang couldn't help but fell silent, although he knew that the person in front of him was just a coincidence, and there was no way he had conclusive evidence in hand.
It's just... this matter cannot be brought to light after all. If Wang knew about it, she would never let him go even if there was no evidence...
After thinking for a moment, the young man surnamed Yang nodded expressionlessly to the monk surnamed Xin, and said in a bad tone:
"I can help you refine the magic weapon, but!"
"You must swear that you will never tell this!"
Hearing this, the monk surnamed Xin had no hesitation. He immediately looked happy and nodded quickly:
"Haha, fellow Taoist Yang, don't worry. Who doesn't know that I, Xin Zhongming, am the most righteous person? As long as my fellow Taoist helps me refine the magic weapon, I will definitely keep this matter in my stomach. After all, if I tell you this, I will It’s no good either.”
After hearing this, the young man surnamed Yang nodded slightly and then said softly:
"Come with me," after saying that, the young man surnamed Yang walked towards his residence.
Seeing this, Xin Zhongming paused for a moment, thinking that this place belonged to the Wang family, and that his own cultivation level was much higher than that of the young man named Yang, so he followed forward without much hesitation.
After a while, the young man surnamed Yang came to a remote courtyard. A small flag appeared in his hand. With his hands clasped together, the gate of the courtyard opened.
The young man surnamed Yang stepped in immediately without any hesitation. Seeing this, Xin Zhongming who was following behind him also stepped into the courtyard.
"boom."
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the door behind him suddenly closed. Seeing this situation, Xin Zhongming was undoubtedly startled. Just when his face changed drastically and he was about to take action, the calm voice of a young man named Yang rang out in front of him.
"What are you doing, fellow Taoist, standing there? Take out the spiritual materials you prepared, and by the way, tell me what kind of magic weapon you want to refine."
After hearing this, Xin Zhongming immediately looked at the young man surnamed Yang, wanting to find something, but looking at the puzzled eyes of the young man surnamed Yang, Xin Zhongming immediately understood that he was worrying too much, and then relaxed. He responded with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Yang, I have spent a lot of effort this time to get a first-order high-grade red-scaled crocodile leather armor. I would like to ask fellow Taoist to use this as a basis to help me refine a first-order mid-grade defense. Magical weapon."
"First-order mid-grade?"
"Fellow Taoist, I'm afraid I'm mistaken. I'm just a first-level low-level weapon trainer. How can I refine a first-level mid-level magic weapon?" Upon hearing Xin Zhongming's request, the young man named Yang immediately said with an ugly expression.
Hearing this, Xin Zhongming smiled carelessly,
"Why are you so secretive in front of me, my fellow Taoist? I know it. Last time, my fellow Taoist had already refined a first-level mid-grade magic weapon. How come you can't refine it when you come here?"
Upon hearing this, the young man named Yang immediately clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"It was just an accidental acquisition. If you want to become a first-level mid-level weapon trainer, you must be able to refine three kinds of magic weapons of the same level, and the success rate must reach 30%..."
"Treading on the Stars"
"I don't care. Anyway, if you can't get the first-level middle-grade magic weapon, you Taoist friends will ask for more blessings," Xin Zhongming said with a smile in response to the words of the young man surnamed Yang.
Seeing Xin Zhongming's rogue appearance, the young man surnamed Yang had a sharp look in his eyes!
"Okay, I'll practice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire courtyard immediately became pitch black.
Seeing this scene, Xin Zhongming couldn't help but have a look of disbelief on his face. He really didn't expect that the young man named Yang would dare to attack him here!
At that moment, Xin Zhongming quickly mobilized his Dantian mana to cast a defensive spell.
However, before he could condense the defensive spell, a golden light suddenly appeared from behind Xin Zhongming, and then struck towards the back of his head.
"Hugh~"
After the sound, Xin Zhongming opened his mouth in disbelief, trying to say something, but no sound came out. After a while, Xin Zhongming's eyes went dark, and he died.
Looking at Xin Zhongming's head on the ground and his staring eyes, the young man named Yang softened and immediately sat down. Big beads of sweat kept falling on his pale face.
With his fifth level of Qi training, it was indeed too much to inspire a second-level low-grade talisman.
The young man surnamed Yang, who had no time to breathe a sigh of relief and regain some of his mana, quickly got up, first put away the talisman he had just activated, then dealt with Xin Zhongming's body, and finally removed the formation plate.
After the small courtyard was restored to its original state, the whole process took only a few breaths. Just as the young man named Yang was about to meditate to restore his mana, there was a knock on the door.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, are you at home?"
After hearing this, the young man named Yang calmed down a little and then responded loudly.
"Hey, there!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and opened the door. When he saw the person clearly, the young man named Yang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. On the surface, he said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why do you have time to come to my place?"
Hearing this, the monk surnamed Zhang said helplessly: "Hey, it's not because of the recent disappearance of mortals. The master asked me to inform everyone that in order to wipe out this group of people, everyone will participate in the encirclement and suppression. "
"Oh?" Hearing this, the young man surnamed Yang said with a somewhat surprised expression, "Isn't that right? Even this monk who is in the middle stage of Qi training wants to participate?"
"Hey, the same goes for me, a monk at the sixth level of qi training. This time the master will not give up until he achieves his goal, and he doesn't know..." Regarding the words of the young man named Yang, the monk named Zhang said rather helplessly.
"Forget it, let's not talk anymore. I have to continue to inform other people, fellow Taoist Yang, that we will gather in the front yard square in three days. Don't forget it."
After saying this, the monk surnamed Zhang bowed his hands to the young man surnamed Yang and left.
Looking at the departing figure, the young man surnamed Yang pondered in silence for a moment, then turned around and returned to the courtyard.
…
"Second uncle, won't this scare off the enemy?"
Looking at his second uncle standing in front of him, Wang Mingxuan said with some worry.
"What we want is to scare the snake away," Wang Xiujie smiled slightly and answered confidently in response to his nephew's words.
"Why is this?" Wang Mingxuan looked at his second uncle in confusion. In his mind, finding out the details of the family's offerings should undoubtedly be done in secret. But now, the second uncle directly asked people to notify the family of the offerings in a big way. In his opinion, isn't it good for the person in the dark to be prepared?
In response to Wang Mingxuan's question, Yang Wang Xiujie smiled indifferently and then explained:
"Mingxuan, you have to know that the clan leader only gave us seven days, and if we want to find out the details of more than 20 worshippers, we will definitely not have enough time."
"So, the second uncle is going to come directly to lure the snake out of the hole!"
"Luring the snake out of its hole?"
…
Ever since he received the notice from Wang, the young man named Yang was like an ant on a hot pot, running around anxiously.
In addition, Xin Zhongming's matter can be covered up in the short term. After all, it is normal for a monk to stay in seclusion for a few days. But as time goes by, Wang will definitely realize that something is wrong, and he will definitely not be able to escape by then.
Wanting to be here, the young man surnamed Yang only had one thought in his mind. It was not suitable to stay here for a long time. He had to find a way to leave quickly, but if he left suddenly now, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to telling Wang that there was something wrong with him.
He needs to think of a perfect solution.
…
Three days flew by.
Looking at the more than thirty people in front of him, Wang Xiujie nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice to Wang Mingxuan beside him:
"Everyone is here?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Mingxuan immediately cupped his hands and said:
"Back to my second uncle, except for a monk named Xin Zhongming who is in the late stage of Qi training and has not arrived, all the other offerings have been present."
Hearing this, Wang Xiujie immediately frowned, and with a pressure unique to the foundation-building monks, he rushed toward the more than thirty Qi-training monks in front of him, and shouted coldly with a rather unkind tone:
"Where have people gone!"
"As a worshiper of my Wang family, you actually dare to ignore my Wang family's order. Do you think my Wang family can be bullied! Or do you think I can be bullied!"
As soon as these words came out, the people below immediately fell into silence, not daring to make the slightest move, and quickly knelt down and prostrated.
Wang Mingxuan also felt cold about this.
"Second uncle, this person has been missing for three days. It is impossible to say that he has encountered something unexpected." After saying this, Wang Mingxuan immediately looked at the people below and wanted to say something several times, but he did not speak because of the presence of his second uncle.
"snort!"
After snorting coldly, Wang Xiujie said in a cold voice with a face as cold as frost:
"I don't want to see this happen a second time!"
After speaking, he waved his hand directly without waiting for anyone to respond.
"Set off!"
…
A few hours later.
Over a small island with a radius of no more than ten miles, three figures were talking in a low voice with sad expressions on their faces.
"Hey, I, Lao Li, provoked whom and why did I end up on this job..." A middle-aged man with a dark face and a thick build said with a sigh.
As soon as these words came out, the old man standing aside, wearing an exquisite Taoist robe and a white beard, full of immortal air and Taoism, immediately said angrily:
"I am a poor man who has been unlucky for eight lifetimes, and yet he meets such a big boss like you again!"
Upon hearing this, the man named Lao Li immediately said dissatisfied:
"Old man Hu, please speak politely. Don't think that if you are one level higher than me, you can defeat me. If you really take action, I, Old Li, will not be afraid of you."
Upon hearing this, the old man surnamed Hu immediately raised his eyebrows and said in a playful tone:
"Oh, that poor Taoist would like to try to see if your ability is as good as your mouth!"
"Humph, I thought I was afraid of you!" After hearing this, the man named Li immediately replied without fear.
"snort!"
"It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you still don't know how powerful I am!" After saying this, the old man stopped hesitating and immediately summoned his magic sword and slashed at the man.
"You actually did it!"
Seeing this, the man surnamed Li couldn't help being shocked and angry, but since the old man took the lead, he would not back down. At that moment, the man surnamed Li summoned the magic weapon without hesitation and started fighting with the old man.
Seeing this scene, the monk surnamed Yang, who had already retreated far away, looked calm on the surface, but in his heart, the fight between the two was undoubtedly in line with his wishes.
"Two fellow Taoists, why is this so? At least we have cooperated before," on the surface, the young man surnamed Yang couldn't help but pretend to be anxious, pretending to persuade.
It's just that he didn't say it. As soon as he said this, the old man immediately thought of the man named Li last time, secretly mocked him, and said disdainfully:
"I am ashamed to be associated with such a villain!"
"You old immortal thing, you are the villain!"
Upon hearing this, the monk surnamed Li immediately roared, and at the same time, his men's offensive could not help but become more fierce.
Upon noticing the offensive attack of the man named Li, the old man's expression immediately changed.
"Okay, okay!"
"You are so ruthless! Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The two people who originally only had a verbal conflict at the beginning are undoubtedly getting really angry now.
Seeing this scene, the young man surnamed Yang, who had achieved his goal, immediately retreated quietly and quietly, and disappeared after a while.
But the two people who were fighting to the death didn't care about it at all.
