Chapter 69 Borrowing a knife to kill
"It's still not possible, why are you always almost there? Is the path I chose wrong by Zhulong?" Jiang Lin put down the carving knife in his hand, looked at the antelope carving in his hand and frowned. It has been four days since he last met Mo Yi.
During these four days, the competition of the Qinglong Palace is still in full swing. And it has reached the top 30 in the Battle Dragon List to compete for the top ten masters of the Qinglong Palace. Today is the first day of the competition. However, Jiang Lin did not nervous about his own game, but played wood carvings here.
However, no matter how you carve it, although Jiang Lin could carve the appearance of antelope, he saw that the carving was a dead object, without any charm, and he carved several of them in succession. Jiang Lin shook his head irritatedly.
"You have only been learning to carve for a few days, and you're so impatient? Some people are immersed in what they love for their whole lives and feel that they have a short time. But if you have time to go out for a walk and get some ore back. Last time you were just shopping to collect spiritual medicines and monster corpses, there was no ore at all. You still have to get a heavy sword to continue practicing."
Zhulong's words made Jiang Lin miss his heavy sword a little. Every day, he carried the heavy sword with the seal of Mount Tai, and seemed to have become accustomed to the kind of life that seemed to be doing things on a mountain. Now that the mountain is gone, Jiang Lin's heart is a little empty.
"It's certain to go out for a walk, but let's finish the competition here and come out of the Hualong Pool. I heard that there is a large auction house in Qinglong City. After the matter in Qinglong Palace is over, I will go and take a look. I'm going to travel far, and some things need to be prepared." Jiang Lin said with some emotion.
Although he had come out of the starting point of his life in Qinglong Palace, he didn't know why he always didn't have a sense of belonging to Jiang Lin in Qinglong Palace. Qingling was very nice to him, and Nalan Xue was also very nice to him. However, here, he was not as comfortable as the Baiyun Sect who was suppressed everywhere and even made things difficult for him. Therefore, Jiang Lin was about to leave, and walked around and asked for news about his master.
"It's nothing wrong to go out for a walk, but if you want to go to the battlefield of the Demon Prison to find your master, I advise you to go out of the Qinglong Kingdom first and go to other places to see it. It's not too late to go again when you understand what a human is, what a demon is, and what a demon is. After all, if your master really has any accidents, it's too late for you to pass now."
"I understand." Jiang Lin stretched his waist and stood up, walking outside. Although he didn't understand why Zhulong asked himself to understand what a human, a demon, and a demon. But Zhulong would not harm him, Jiang Lin could be sure of this.
The days in Qinglong Palace are very lively, but today is even more lively. Because today is the 50 most powerful disciples of Qinglong Palace, a duel of quotas. Just like the ceremony that started on the first day, all the forces that can be ranked in Qinglong City are coming. Qinglong Bo is still sitting high with Qingling, and the others are also sitting in their own positions step by step, bowing their heads from time to time to talk.
Jiang Lin can be said that he is a celebrity in Qinglong Palace now, so Jiang Lin's appearance naturally aroused a lot of discussions. However, the most talked about is not Jiang Lin's strength, but what the relationship between Jiang Lin and Nalan Xue, and his own palace master. From these discussions, we can see that Qingling, the palace master, was not very comfortable in Qinglong Palace.
"Senior Brother Jiang, you can't challenge me, nor can you challenge Sister Mingyue. It's better not to challenge Sun Ying and the others. I heard that Elder Mo has not known the reason for the past few days, so he has gone back to the Sixiang Sect. Sun Ying has been designated as an elder in the inner world, so it's better not to mess with him."
Jiang Lin learned to ignore the eyes of envy, jealous and hatred around him, and Nalan Xue, who has always been as quiet as a virgin, was particularly lively when Jiang Lin was simple. This made the eyes of the males around him looking at Jiang Lin become sharper.
The rules of the game are very simple. The person with the lowest ranking of fifty people challenged the high position and won the ranking of the person. If he failed, he would be eliminated. The winner could choose to continue to challenge, or accept other people's challenges, or he could go on a rest and fight again. It was not that the opponent's game mode had been formulated from the beginning.
Sun Ying is the first of the top ten masters. Legend has it that he has advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage and is one step closer to the out-of-body stage. But Mo Yi chose to return to the Four Symbol Sect, and the generals on this side naturally knew the reason. However, what Jiang Lin did not expect was that the position of elders who had left Mo Yi, and Sun Ying could actually take the seat.
Qinglong Hall is a branch of the Four Symbol Sect. To be precise, it is a branch of the Four Symbol Sect's Qinglong Class. It seems that there are not many Qinglong Halls in other places. The owner of Qingling is not a native of Qinglong, but was sent from above.
No one knows the specific reason, but Qingling, who was just a new arrival, was led by the great elder Bai Tieyong. These Qinglong people were rejected by the elders born and raised in the Qinglong Palace, so Qingling has always been a little unsatisfied in the Qinglong Palace. Otherwise, the other three halls would have been to the elders or the like when they were in Beishuishan last time, but Qinglong Palace needed to go to the palace master.
The Qinglong Palace has seven elders, and the hall master Qingling and eight people form the core of the Qinglong Palace.
The great elder Bai Tieyong is very close to the third elder Lu Yu and the fifth elder Shi Hai. The second elder Mo Yi seems to dislike fighting and stay in the Dan Pavilion all day long. The fourth elder Dao Ren Yun is a person who is obsessed with formations, and the sixth elder Qing Yi is a female cultivator and a beast trainer. Therefore, dealing with beasts is more than dealing with people.
The seventh elder Yu Xiaozi was brought into the Qinglong Palace after Qingling became the hall master, and he has always had a close relationship with Qingling. However, these two outsiders obviously cannot be compared with the deeply entrenched Bai Tieyong. Therefore, although Qingling is the hall master, the power of Qinglong Palace is held in Bai Tieyong's hands.
When Jiang Lin heard these twists and turns at the beginning, he was stunned and a little confused. That is, isn’t the monk just to practice and then become a flying immortal? Isn’t it putting the cart before the horse when doing anything to fight for fame and fortune by mortals?
However, when Jiang Lin thought about the twists and turns, he felt that his thoughts were a bit naive. Mortals naturally wanted to make their lives more glorious and comfortable, while monks competed for fame and profit.
Because monks compete for fame and fortune to achieve better cultivation. As the largest sect in the Qinglong Kingdom, they have to obtain a large number of cultivation materials, ores, spiritual medicines, and materials on monsters from the Qinglong Kingdom every year. These can help a monk practice quickly.
If you want to obtain these things, you have to fight. Fighting requires strength, and the things you obtain after the fight increase your own strength. Therefore, the monks are trapped in a vicious circle like the mortal officialdom, fighting for benefits, gain benefits, digest benefits, and strengthen themselves, and then continue fighting for greater interests. This is like a cycle.
"Why did Elder Mo leave? You should know that although Elder Mo doesn't speak normally, he is still very good. Many people ask him to refine elixirs, and he is willing to help. Now, as soon as Elder Mo leaves, there is no alchemist in our Qinglong Palace." Nalan Xue seemed to feel a little sorry for Mo Yi's departure.
"Everyone has its own ambitions, not everyone likes to stay in the same place for a lifetime." Jiang Lin said with some emotion.
When he said this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but think of himself. Jiang Lin originally thought that he would stay in that mountain village for the rest of his life, but who would have thought that when he was the loneliest, he actually left the mountain village and came here toss and turn. Thinking of these Jiang Lins seemed to be in a dream.
"Why would Senior Brother Jiang be an alchemist in the Qinglong Palace with his expression? With Senior Brother Jiang's alchemy skills, he will definitely become an elder in the Qinglong Palace in the future." Nalan Xue looked at Jiang Lin with some eyes shining and said.
The Sixiang Sect said it was a sect, but in fact, after a deep understanding, you can also treat it as a country. The sect leader of the Sixiang Sect is the emperor, and the emperor is filled with various factions.
If you want to climb up to get better resources, first you have to be a disciple of the Four Symbol Sect, then a core disciple, and finally become an elder in a branch hall, then perform outstandingly to gain the appreciation from the above, and then you can return to the Four Symbol Sect to start your own new practice. This way of continuous climbing is like a mortal being promoted.
From time to time, a genius who was directly valued by the above made a splash, and he ushered in all kinds of envious, jealous and hatred eyes around him. Add a hint of light to this somewhat old-fashioned path, which is all about the practice of monks in the sect.
"I refine elixirs because I want to use it, but I never thought about refining elixirs for others." Jiang Lin smiled and shook his head.
"It's great to refine elixirs for others. Not only can you get a lot of spirit stones, but you can also get a lot of rare treasures. Being an alchemist is very profitable. For example, if you ask you to refine elixirs alone, you will definitely prepare a lot of materials. After all, he also needs to consider the factors of failure in alchemy. If you successfully refine it in one furnace, the remaining materials will not only be your own, but the person who refines the alchemy will also be grateful to you. The third elder is so arrogant, but there are not many people asking him to refine weapons." Nalan Xue said with a frown.
Although Nalan Xue, who lives in a big family, grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth since she left the city. But it is precisely because of this that he knew that if a family wants to develop, there must be a few outstanding people.
Artifact Refiners and Alchemists are undoubtedly the most popular beings among monks. These two professions are also highly respected in the cultivation world. After all, there is no monk who does not use magic weapons, and monks cannot practice without elixirs. Therefore, if you have a good relationship with these two people, the path of cultivator cultivation will be much smoother.
"Sister Xue, you are here, which makes Sister Mingyue and I look for you everywhere. Look, this is Sister Mingyue just tamed the monster. I am going to take it to fight. Maybe I can also get a place to enter the Dragon Pool." Just as Jiang Lin was thinking of saying something, the Jinger that Jiang Lin had seen last time ran over casually.
However, after running over, Jing'er seemed to have little stubbornness. She opened her demon storage bag directly, and then her head was two feet tall and her body looked like a hill, appearing in front of Jiang Lin. This made the people in the stands scream and think about spreading around.
