There are not many monks who come to participate in Yun's recruitment. Most of them are foundation-building monks. As of Jiang Yuebai's arrival, there are only three golden elixir monks.
Jiang Yuebai asked why he didn't recruit Nascent Soul cultivators directly, but Yun said he couldn't afford it, and that basically all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Frost Snow Region had been won over by the wealthy Lei family, and would not come to help Yun at all.
In order to avoid unnecessary attention, Jiang Yuebai also participated in the recruitment with a late-stage Golden Core cultivation level. The other two Golden Core monks were the sloppy monk Chu Xin she saw before, and Xing Qishan who stopped Yun Muyuan.
The sloppy male cultivator said that he was in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation. Jiang Yuebai didn't believe a word he said. This guy had an ulterior secret at first glance.
The recruitment contract is signed once a month, and they are not required to follow the disciples of the Yun family. They can form a team on their own, or act alone. The main task is to search for snow monsters in Jiancang Mountain, clean up the gathered monsters, and alleviate the Yun family's Defensive pressure.
At present, the only three remaining Nascent Soul monks of the Yun clan are guarding the clan territory. The others, centered on the Yun clan clan, have set up five levels of checkpoints in Jian Cang Mountain to resist the monster beasts that come from time to time.
Those foundation-building monks recruited are to fill the defensive pressure of the level.
The Yun family was also a prominent family in the early years. Although it is now in decline, the lean camel is bigger than the horse. It still has some savings and property, which can sustain current consumption.
But if the snow demon is not eliminated, no matter how much Yun's savings are, one day it will be wasted.
Jiang Yuebai read the contract, and it was clearly written in it that if traces of the snow demon were found, the Yun family would give one hundred thousand spiritual stones. If the snow demon could be killed, the Yun family would be given a secret treasure.
Xing Qishan had a conflict with Jiang Yuebai before, and he was afraid of Jiang Yuebai's unfathomable strength. He made a contract and took the five thousand spirit stones as a prepaid reward, then went into the mountain alone and immediately searched for the whereabouts of the snow demon.
Chu Xin, a sloppy male cultivator, was not in a hurry and asked Yun's disciples to arrange a place for him to rest for a while before heading back into the mountains tomorrow.
The snow demon was a peak Nascent Soul cultivator before he was seriously injured. Now, ten years later, even if he has not fully recovered, his cultivation is still within the Nascent Soul stage, which is difficult to deal with. Otherwise, Yun's Nascent Soul cultivators can take action themselves, so why bother? Recruit other monks?
They just want to find more outsiders to consume the Snow Demon. They will finally take action to capture the Snow Demon at the minimum cost and retrieve the Yun family's secret treasure.
Jiang Yuebai clearly saw the loopholes in the contract. Their requirements were extremely detailed, but Yun's responsibilities were ambiguous.
The text is broad and profound, and the many meanings can all be explained in one mouth. There is still a long way to go before the law can be unified.
Jiang Yuebai followed Chu Xin and temporarily rested in the guest house of the Yun clan.
Jiang Yuebai stayed in the room and continued to use the fire dragon essence and blood to refining the fire talisman in the "Secret Book of Fire Refining the Sky". During the days when she earned spiritual stones in Xiyun City, she had already refining the first four fire talismans.
The 'Fire Ring' that can activate defense on its own, the 'Flame Armor' that can form a flaming armor, the 'Fire Seal' that can mark the enemy with fire poison, and the 'Fire Seal' that can be attached to oneself, making the next attack sure to hit. The 'tarsus' marked by the middle fire seal.
The first four are considered auxiliary fire talismans. The next one, the 'Flame Soldier', which can transform into weapons with fire, is the first fire talisman among the nine fire talismans that allows her to take the initiative to attack.
There is also 'Fire Escape', which allows her to turn into flames to avoid attacks within the range of her spiritual consciousness, and come and go freely.
The first six fire talismans are easy to refining. Use the essence and blood of the fire dragon to cover the original fire talisman imprinted around the Dantian, and then inject the phoenix true fire and the ghost fire respectively to achieve the balance of yin and yang, and you can use your fingers like an arm.
Fire is the best against the Snow Demon, so it can be used this time.
In addition to practicing, Jiang Yuebai used the method he used to control Qi An in Fulong Sect last time, using a white vine to parasitize a Yun family Qi training disciple, and went deep into the Yun family to inquire about the Snow Demon and Yun Muyuan.
But after a night of research, their story was almost the same as what was reported outside.
The only difference is that the handyman who used to work in Yun Muyuan's yard said that he felt that Ruan Qiongfang and Yun Muyuan didn't get along like a couple, and Ruan Qiongfang didn't treat their two children like a biological mother.
The old men working as handymen in the Yun family also said that when Ruan Qiongfang stole the Yun family's secret treasure and escaped, she did not accidentally kill her eldest son. Instead, her eldest son seriously injured her first, and then she took action.
No matter how specific it is, those people don't know. After all, their status and cultivation are low, and they were not present at the time. They are all hearsay.
At dawn the next day, Jiang Yuebai's white vine returned to its original form, feeling very irritable.
"The grievances and grievances of these big families are really overwhelming. Don't care, just find the snow demon, cripple it, seize the ten thousand year stalactite, and leave. The rest, go to hell!"
Jiang Yuebai went out directly, followed the map given by Yunshi, and entered the mountain alone.
*
See the cedar forest in Cangshan Mountain.
More than fifty foundation-building disciples of the Yun family built Juma stakes with pine wood and placed formation flags every nine feet.
The apricot-yellow flags rustled in the wind and snow, and the heavy snow gradually buried the bodies after the bloody battle. The exhausted Yun disciples sat behind the horse-rejecting posts, panting.
"These monsters have been coming more and more frequently recently. If this continues, we will definitely not be able to hold on."
"You have to hold on even if you can't. Our family members are all in the clan. If the monsters rush over... my daughter is only three years old!"
"Hurry up and recover. Don't save any elixirs. Be careful of the next wave..."
Roar! ! !
Before the female cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, who was the team leader, could finish her words, she heard the roar of beasts, the earth shook, and white snow fell from the trees.
In the messy woods in the distance, snow waves surged fiercely.
A large number of monsters overturned fallen trees and trampled the dead bodies on the ground. The sound of dense ice crystals colliding could be heard. They were all huge frost-armored bears wearing ice armor.
"Prepare for war!"
The female cultivator shouted loudly, and used the array control jade talisman to hang in the air. The nine array flags emitted dazzling golden light one after another, forming a large barrier.
The exhausted monks staggered to their feet, clenched the magic weapons in their hands, their pupils trembled and their expressions were horrified.
There were less than fifty people left around them, and there were at least hundreds of frost-armored bears. The leader of the bear king even exuded the power of the late Golden Core, making them, the foundation-building monks, unable to resist the fear.
They have even seen themselves turned into dead bodies and buried under heavy snow.
"Get out of my way!"
The sound broke through the wind, and a female cultivator in white descended from the sky and stepped into the center of the group of frost-armored bears, causing snow to fall all over the sky.
As soon as she landed on the ground, the fire on her body ignited fiercely, and a majestic ring of flames surged and roared, blooming from her body and sweeping across the army.
Ouch! ! !
The beasts howled miserably and disappeared into ashes.
With the female cultivator in white as the center, everything within a hundred feet was burned away, leaving only black ashes intertwined with the white snow in the sky, dancing wildly in the wind.
The air was filled with the smell of burning. Everyone was stunned, and their hearts were filled with the great joy of surviving the disaster.
Jiang Yuebai flicked her long hair and looked indifferently at the frost-armored bear king in the distance. The ice shell on his body melted, his fur was burnt to black, and he ran away in a mess.
Jiang Yuebai chuckled, his eyebrows moved slightly, and a fire mark hit the frost-armored bear king's butt.
The frost-armored bear king was so burned that he screamed, jumped and twisted, and sped away.
Jiang Yuebai glanced at the dull-faced people behind the checkpoint in the distance, and made bow and arrow shooting movements with his hands. Two golden and red flames overflowed from his palms and quickly formed a flaming bow.
Whoosh!
Arrows are flying!
The Frost-Armored Bear King was hit by an arrow in his butt, jumped up and rolled down the cliff next to him.
Jiang Yuebai dispersed the flames of his bow and arrow, disappeared from the spot, and went after the Frost Armored Bear King.
It seems to be somewhat intelligent and should be able to conduct 'friendly' communication and inquire about the whereabouts of the Snow Demon.
