Killing God

"You have just arrived on Herring Island, and you have no way to practice at the beginning of your cultivation. You can't do things like catching monsters, spiritual cultivation, protecting the formation, and digging crystals. You can only choose some simple tasks. I took a look at the sect's recent Of the whiteboard tasks awarded, three of them are more suitable for you."

Xu Xing stretched out his first finger, and said: "The first thing is to raise animals. Our sect raises many fairy birds and spirit beasts, each with their own uses. There are also some on this herring island. All such things belong to the sect's spirits." The Beast Hall is in charge, so this task is also issued by the Spirit Beast Hall. All you need is to take care of the spirit beasts on Herring Island, feed them on time on weekdays, and don't wash them carelessly, so it should be a little messy and hard work , but this is inevitable.”

Xu Xing stretched out his second finger again, and said: "The second thing is alchemy. In fact, it's called alchemy, but it's just because this matter is a task issued by the sect's 'Alchemy Hall'. Without experience, of course it is impossible for you to really practice alchemy. The tasks on the whiteboard are for you to be the assistants, to take charge of the alchemy furnace, and to identify the medicinal materials and hand them over to the alchemy brothers and sisters at any time, so the delay may be longer than others. The task is much longer."

The four teenagers frowned slightly when they heard this, and their faces were not relaxed and pretty. Although these tasks sound simple, they are obviously not easy to do.Xu Xing saw their expressions in his eyes, smiled slightly, and continued, saying: "The third thing is to pick up shells. Every morning and evening, when the tide is low on the island, there are five-color shells on many beaches. Formation Hall' The materials of some low-level magic circles are mostly hidden deep in the mud on the beach, and it is a bit difficult to find. If you accept this task, every [-] shells can be exchanged for one spirit crystal."

He Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, then said in astonishment: "It takes so much to exchange for one spirit crystal?"

Xu Xing said with a smile: "That's right, the sect's rules are like this. It is to hone the new disciples in a difficult situation. Naturally, the tasks given will not be particularly easy. I have specially selected these three for you, and they are still passable." Yes. As for more tasks on the green board, red board, and yellow board in the future, the requirements are even more difficult, such as the spiritual farming and demon hunting I mentioned before, as well as the talisman and hidden missions. Sea, Digging Crystal..."

Shen Shi raised his brows, and suddenly said: "Hey, we still have the task of talismans here? Isn't this a small way?"

Xu Xing glanced at him, and said: "How should I put it, these five-element spells are indeed inferior to the various mainstream Taoist magic powers we will practice in the future, but such spells have been around for thousands of years, and sometimes they are still very useful Yes. Especially for monks in the Qi Refining Realm, there are very few supernatural powers that can be cultivated due to Taoism, so they often practice one or two five-element spells at this time as a method of self-defense. Among them, there is a There is a special "shu hall" dedicated to the five elements. Although the scale is small, it will also issue some tasks such as talismans. After all, these talismans are still very popular when they are taken out in the big city. Cultivators, especially casual cultivators with low morals, are welcome, and can earn a lot of spirit crystals."

"So that's how it is." Shen Shi suddenly realized, but then he heard Xu Xing smiled slightly and said: "It's just that the way of talismans is notoriously complicated and difficult, not to mention the complicated and twisted yin-yang and five-element runes. It is even more difficult to draw the talisman array on the talisman paper after the basics, not to mention the last difficulty of "spirit injection", so that a talisman can be truly made. So even a rare and skilled talisman Master, it is also difficult to make a large number of various talismans, and there have always been very few disciples who have done such tasks."

Shen Shi nodded slowly, Xu Xing saw that he didn't ask any more questions, so he kept silent, turned his head and said to Sun You: "That's all for a few tasks that I think are passable, you can think about it, of course you can go to the whiteboard again Take a closer look, maybe there are others that are suitable for you. But you are new disciples after all, and the tasks you can do are basically on the whiteboard. The green, red, yellow, and purple boards in the back are all difficult tasks. It may take some time before you can do it."

Sun You nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

Xu Xing smiled and said: "Well, that's it for the time being, it's good for you to walk around first, to get acquainted with it." Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something again, hesitated for a while, and hesitated to speak.

Sun You was sharp-eyed. Seeing Xiaojiu's appearance, he smiled and said, "What's the matter, Xiaojiu, is there anything else?"

Xu Xing thought for a while, and said: "Actually, I thought of another thing just now, which is relatively simple, but... by the way, on the way you came here, did you see those red clam monsters outside the herring market? "

All four of them nodded, and He Xiaomei gestured with her hand, saying: "It looks weird, two big clam shells just grow on the body like that."

Xu Xing said with a smile: "These Red Clams have lived under our Lingxiao Sect for many years. After a long time, you will get used to it. What I wanted to say just now is actually related to these Red Clams. It can be regarded as a task. But it’s not written on the whiteboard on weekdays.”

Sun You and the others were all curious, and Sun You was the fastest, and the first to ask: "What, there is such a mission, what is it?"

Xu Xing smiled, and said: "This matter was actually aroused by those Red Clam people who saw that we asked new disciples to do all kinds of things here. Their people have lived by the sea since ancient times. One of my favorite foods is a sea prawn called 'Ghost Noodle Shrimp'. There are many in the waters around Jinhong Mountain. It's just that ghost noodle shrimp is not difficult to catch. When there is a fishing tide, just throw it away. , It’s a big handful, but the shell of this shrimp is so hard that it’s difficult to open it with a knife and axe, and you can only peel it off with a sharp knife through the seam of the shell under the abdomen, and take out the tender shrimp meat.” Xu Xing made it with his hands. He gestured roughly, and said,

"Although those red clam people love to eat ghost noodle shrimp, they are very clean by nature, so they want to eat this fresh and tender ghost noodle shrimp meat. When peeling the shrimp shell, they will definitely get bloody and dirty all over their bodies, so they have always been popular. The Bang people regard it as a big chore. After seeing the various tasks we issued to the new disciples, they also followed suit, saying that as long as someone helps them peel the shrimp, they will also reward the spirit crystal."

"That's it..." Only then did Sun You and the others understand, but Shen Shi thought carefully, and quickly thought of another matter, and said, "Senior Brother Xu, uh... what should I call..."

Xu Xing smiled and waved his hands, and said, "I'm older than you guys, just call me Uncle Xu when we meet in the future."

Shen Shi nodded and said: "Uncle Xu, didn't you say that monster races like the Red Clams don't use spirit crystals on a daily basis? Where did they get spirit crystals to pay us?"

Xu Xing said: "Oh, this is the case. Our Jinhong Mountain Range is the number one spiritual vein in the southeast. It is born to gather the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth and it is extremely prosperous. It is well known that many spiritual crystals are gathered every day. And this spiritual vein is usually Buried deep in the Lingshan Mountain, there are still very tiny remaining veins scattered around, and some of them go deep into the seabed outside the islands. The people of the Red Clam tribe have excellent water surnames, and they can dive very deep into the seabed without the help of any magic weapon. Therefore, a small amount of spirit crystals can be found from the bottom of the sea from time to time. Although they don’t need them, since they know that our human race regards them as treasures, they naturally collect them for trading with us.”

Jiang Hongguang hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice beside him, "Uncle Xu, how many ghost-faced shrimps do we have to kill before the Red Clams will pay us?"

Xu Xing replied: "One hundred ghost-faced shrimps, one spirit crystal." He stretched out his fourth finger and said with a smile, "So this is also the fourth thing I told you, peeling shrimps .”

※※※

Leaving from Xu Xing's side, the four of them stood in the White Crane Hall and discussed for a while. The four tasks Xu Xing mentioned just now really didn't sound too difficult. But after thinking about it carefully one by one, all of them are dirty and tiring. Jiang Hongguang and Shen Shi are fine, but Sun You and He Xiaomei are from excellent family backgrounds. I don't really want to do it.

After discussing for a while, several people decided to come to the whiteboard together to see if there are other more suitable tasks.

At this time, there were already many teenagers standing under the whiteboard. Obviously, under Ling Xiaozong's rule that everyone is forbidden to bring their own spirit crystals to get started, the top priority of these new disciples has become to earn spirit crystals for cultivation. The only spirit crystal that I have, the spirit crystal Ling Xiaozong needs for the follow-up seems to be clear that everyone has to earn it by themselves.

The four of them stood still in front of the whiteboard, looked carefully for a while, and saw countless square white papers pasted on top of the whiteboard, layer upon layer, and many strange tasks, but look here and there Take a look, regardless of the difficulty or reward, it seems that they are similar to the few things Xu Xing said before, and more things are obviously more difficult than what he said.

Shen Shi looked at it for a while, then thought of the talisman that Xu Xing had just mentioned.He has been drawing talismans for many years since he was a child, but he never imagined that there is still a possibility of using them in Lingxiaozong. With his heart together, he couldn't bear it any longer. Talisman-related tasks.

It's just that he looked here for a long time, and almost searched the entire whiteboard, but he couldn't even find a single talisman.Shen Shi frowned, supposedly Xu Xing was unlikely to lie to himself, after thinking for a while, his heart suddenly moved, and he looked around, only to see that no one noticed him. Hong Guang and the others were also watching carefully at the whiteboard at the other end, so he walked around the side of the whiteboard calmly, turning around lightly and deftly, but walked to the back of the whiteboard.

Behind the white board is a large green wooden board. According to what Xu Xing said just now, it should be called a green board.Similar to the situation on the white board, there are also many notes posted on the green board, but the Ling Xiaozong disciples in front of the green board have much less money than the white board, and many of them are older and from the last five-year period. disciple.

A few of them noticed that Shen Shi came to the green board, and they all cast strange glances, but later everyone probably thought that Shen Shi was just a curious newcomer among the new disciples, so they ran over to see a fresh one, so They didn't pay much attention, and turned their heads one by one, focusing on the note on the wooden sign.

Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief, and began to search on the green board. This time, it was unexpectedly smooth. When he saw the third blank sheet of paper on the green board, he realized that it was an award from the art hall. The next task is to draw a special talisman array on the talisman paper.

Making talisman paper is not just making talismans, which is exactly what Shen Shi wanted. He has no way at the moment, and if he wants to make talismans, he will not be able to pass the last pass of "infusion". In the past seven years of constant contact, Shen Shi felt that he still had some confidence.

Just as he was overjoyed, he looked down, but suddenly his brows frowned, and a look of astonishment passed over his face, and he saw four large characters clearly written on the bottom of the note:

The materials are self-prepared.
