For several days in a row, Jiang Lin stayed behind closed doors to practice. During this period, he went to the Chuan Gong Hall once and wanted to listen to a sermon from an expert, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even get in.
Bailingyuan does have abundant training resources that can be used, but only if you are qualified.
Either take out spiritual stones or make contributions.
There is no need to talk about spiritual stones. For a novice like Jiang Lin, they are so precious that it is unimaginable. Even if we step back 10,000 steps, it is impossible to spend spiritual stones on this.
Contribution is disgusting. When you complete the tasks assigned by Bailing Academy, your contribution will be recorded. The contribution can be exchanged for any resources in Bailing Academy, including elixirs with various effects, magical powers, spells, etc.
There is a joint studio in Guangyun Mountain, which is a nightmare for new disciples. There are many ordinary tasks assigned by Bailing Academy. Rather than tasks, it is more straightforward to say that they are trivial matters. For ordinary disciples, it is nothing. It's risky, but it takes a lot of time and energy. In exchange for a little contribution, it's hard to say whether it's worth it.
This place is not difficult to find. Jiang Lin went there once, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find any tasks worth doing.
Either it is too difficult, or it takes too long, or the contribution is too little. After wasting several years to do something, the contribution in exchange may not be enough to listen to it once in the Chuan Gong Hall, which directly gave up Jiang Lin's idea. .
On this day, while Jiang Lin was still practicing, the man named Cheng came to his door and said that he would take Jiang Lin to a place, pretending to be mysterious and making it look like it was a good thing.
Seeing that Jiang Lin was still unable to fly in the air, Cheng Zhongyan pulled up to Jiang Lin and soared into the air. He came to a lush mountain forest. There were towering trees everywhere. It was difficult for several people to hug each other. They were dozens of feet high and the canopy of the trees was sheltered. The entire sky was covered, and the sparse light still appeared a bit dim.
This is not a deserted place. It has obviously been taken care of by someone. There are pavilions, tables, chairs, and flower gardens nearby.
After Jiang Lin came over, more than 20 people came here, chatting with each other. When they saw Cheng Zhongyan bringing people over, they all looked at Jiang Lin.
Cheng Zhongyan stepped forward and said, "Senior brothers, this is Fellow Daoist Jiang whom I mentioned last time."
"I've met a few senior brothers." Jiang Lin saw Cheng Zhongyan's eyes and immediately greeted him politely.
The first few nodded: "Junior brother, there is no need to be polite. I believe that Junior Brother Cheng has told you that the people here are all unofficial people with no background. Entering Bailing Academy depends on personal strength, but compared with those from clans and aristocratic families. Bi, we have very few resources, so we join forces to keep warm, which is much better than fighting alone."
After a brief chat with Jiang Lin, it became clear that Bailingyuan was not divided into two factions: the inner sect and the outer sect. There were also many factions in the outer sect, dividing people and aristocratic families into two groups.
Sanren are like Jiang Lin. They entered Bailing Academy based on their talent and qualifications. Only they can understand the hardships along the way.
Most of the disciples of the aristocratic family entered the Bailing Academy by relying on the Immortal Ascension Order. Even if they did not rely on the Ascension Order and relied on family resources, it would be much easier to enter the Bailing Academy than for ordinary people.
Therefore, the two groups have always been in a state of looking down on each other, and over time, such a group was formed.
Although Jiang Lin didn't like this kind of thing in his heart, he still seemed flattered on the surface.
When he was a bandit in Liangjie Mountain in his early years, many mountaineers tried to win over Jiang Lin, but they were all rejected by Jiang Lin.
Having been a bandit for more than ten years, especially in a dangerous place like Liangjie Mountain, Jiang Lin's understanding of human nature is two or three levels higher than that of ordinary people. In a small group like this, everyone gets together when good things happen, and everyone runs away when bad things happen. He is faster than anyone else, even if we share the same adversity, the wolf will be better than the dog.
After getting to know the people here, these people got down to business. Of course they gathered together today not to welcome Jiang Lin, but to exchange some necessities for cultivation. This is also something that many monks often do, maybe The treasure you have been searching for for so long is a useless thing that others have discarded like worn-out shoes.
Naturally, Jiang and Lin had no part in the exchange. After all, they had just entered Bailingyuan, so there would be nothing good about them.
However, Jiang Lin did have some thoughts, but he thought about it without saying anything. There were some things in Taoist Sanquan that he wanted to exchange for some useful things, but it was obviously not a good thing to reveal his wealth when he just came in. Let's talk about it later.
Jiang Lin was frightened as he watched items passing by in front of his eyes. He secretly thought that these people had a lot of good things in their hands, such as talismans, elixirs, utensils, magical powers, magic spells, etc.
More than half an hour later, just as it was about to end, a woman took out a small cage from the Qiankun bag. Inside was a small white beast, shaped like a pangolin, all white, and it looked very beautiful and very tall. Spirituality.
"This is a small gadget I found outside not long ago. I can't tell what kind of spiritual beast it is, but I still have some skills in digging holes and looking for minerals. If any of my brothers like it, I can take it." The woman pointed at the little beast in the cage and said.
A man came up to take a look and grinned: "It's just useless. Don't say I don't have time to search for the spirit mine. Even if we find it, can we defend it with our ability?"
"Senior Brother A, you can't say that. Everything depends on manpower and opportunity. If you find something, wouldn't it be worth it? Besides, I won't sell this gadget very expensively." The woman glanced at him, feeling a little unhappy. This is obviously trying to undermine others. How can she deceive others?
At this time, Jiang Lin came over cautiously and asked respectfully: "Senior sister, I want to buy this little beast. How many spiritual stones are there?"
Everyone saw Jiang Lin coming up to ask about the price, with different expressions on their faces. Cheng Zhongyan raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to stop him, he noticed that another person glanced at him, and he was so frightened that he immediately swallowed his words.
Seeing someone taking the bait, the woman pursed her lips and smiled: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Jiang. Seeing that Junior Brother just came in, I gave it half for sale and half for free. Junior Brother gave me twenty spiritual stones, and this little guy is yours." "
Jiang Lin's expression was shocked, his eyes widened, as if he was frightened by this number, and then he smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't have so many spirit stones, so my senior sister is kind enough to accept it."
Others gloated when they saw this. Is this thing worth twenty spiritual stones? It is clear that he treats people as fools, but fortunately this fool is not that rich.
"Junior brother, wait a minute." The woman quickly called Jiang Lin. She realized that she had killed the wrong person. How many spiritual stones can a new disciple have? She pretended to be embarrassed, sighed and said, "For the sake of it, Since we just met today, I'll give you ten spiritual stones. If you don't even have ten spiritual stones, then junior brother will have to work harder in the future."
Hearing this number, Jiang Lin also acted very embarrassed, as if he was short of money. After hesitation, he nodded in agreement and took out ten spiritual stones from the Qiankun bag.
The woman hurriedly handed over the cage and quickly put away the spirit stone: "This cage is made of ancient yellow stone, and it is also given to you, junior brother."
"Thank you, senior sister, for your generosity." Jiang Lin was flattered.
After the transaction was over, Cheng Zhongyan took Jiang Lin away from here and returned to his residence. When leaving, he asked Jiang Lin: "Brother Jiang, don't you feel it's a loss to buy something like this for ten spiritual stones?"
Jiang Lin understood what he meant, but he still pretended to be stupid and said, "I think it's good. Going out to search for spiritual mines in the future may have greater value."
"Brother Jiang, take care."
After saying that, Cheng Zhongyan Yukong left here, already planning to keep a distance from Jiang Lin. Such a mind is not worthy of deep friendship.
After returning to his room, Jiang Lin directly opened the cage, took a small white pangolin and crawled out, grabbing Jiang Lin's clothes.
Jiang Lin touched its little head and said jokingly: "Why were you caught again?"
