Chapter 371 This matter is a bit strange
"Why?" Qin Ziling asked.
"It's too dangerous! Not only is there thunder and lightning inside, but there are also many powerful beasts hiding inside, some of which are even as powerful as Xuanshi. This small barrier is opened once every sixty years, and it is said that every time ten people enter, not even one can come out alive.
If it wasn't so dangerous, many Qi Refining Masters would have rushed to go there long ago, so that they could build good relations with the Tianyan Sect and get rewards from the Tianyan Sect. There must be other natural treasures in the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier, but except for the Thunder Xun Stone, the others don't need to be handed in. "Jian Bailou replied.
"Some exotic beasts are as powerful as Xuan Masters!" Qin Ziling took a breath when he heard this.
"That's right, so..." Jian Bailou said solemnly.
"Even if there are any, this kind of strange beast should be very rare, otherwise it would not be less than one in ten that survived, but almost all of them would be wiped out." Qin Ziling interrupted.
"Zi Ling!" Jian Bailou's white beard trembled.
"Teacher, the main reason I entered the Wind and Thunder Barrier was for the Lei Xun Stone. This Lei Xun Stone is of great use to me. If I miss this opportunity, I will probably have to wait another sixty years. I can't afford to wait for sixty years." Qin Ziling said.
"But..." Jian Bailou said with red eyes. He knew very well that Lei Xunshi was one reason, and Qin Ziling's worry about him must also be a reason.
"By the way, teacher, what reward did Tianyan Sect promise?" Qin Ziling interrupted.
"For the time being, I have given you sixty ordinary magic crystals, two Huiyuan magic pills for restoring power, and two 'Sixiang Buyuan Pills' for healing. If you can help find the Leixun Stone after entering the small wind and thunder barrier, you will receive additional rewards. The rewards include becoming a registered disciple of an inner sect elder of Tianyan Sect, two hundred magic crystals, and a Yangyuan Pill for improving your cultivation." Jian Bailou replied.
"That's all? Isn't that too stingy?" Qin Ziling curled his lips when he heard that.
"Do you think everyone is as generous as you? For Qi Refining Grandmasters like us who have no background in the Middle and Lower States, many people may not be able to earn so many magic crystals and elixirs in their lifetime.
In addition, the inner sect elders of Tianyan Sect are all masters of the Tempering Thunder realm, and it is rare for them to even meet each other in normal times. To be able to become a registered disciple of such a person, not only will your status be doubled, but even the wealthy and powerful families and large sects in the Great Qi Kingdom will not dare to offend you easily. Moreover, since you are a registered disciple, you will have some opportunities to ask for advice.
Therefore, for many Qi Refining Grandmasters like us who have no background, so many benefits are indeed worth risking our lives for. However, because the danger of the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier is too great, most people are unwilling to accept this task, and those who have connections will use their connections to shirk it. After all, no matter how good something is, you have to be alive to enjoy it!"
Jian Bailou saw Qin Ziling curling his lips, and remembered that he had once casually given him thirty top-grade gold magic crystal stones, and each piece was as big as a fist. Any one of them was more than worth magic crystal stones promised by Tianyan Sect, and he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
"From what you said, it seems like I'm a fool with a lot of money!" Qin Ziling said.
"Haha, I didn't say you were stupid, you said it yourself!" Jian Bailou pointed at Qin Ziling and laughed.
"I said I'm stupid and you believed me!" Qin Ziling rolled his eyes.
Jian Bailou's laughter stopped abruptly when he heard this, and he glared at Qin Ziling with his old eyes.
"Hey, teacher, let's get back to the topic. How long will it take you to get to the wind and thunder barrier?" Qin Ziling quickly changed the subject upon seeing this.
"Two months later." Jian Bailou's expression became serious and solemn again.
"Two months later, that leaves us plenty of time." Qin Ziling said thoughtfully.
"What's the big deal? What can we do in two months?" Jian Bailou said with a smile.
Qin Ziling smiled when he heard this and did not explain.
There is no time limit for cultivation. For many Qi Refining masters, sometimes even two years may not show any significant change in their cultivation, let alone two months.
However, Qin Ziling is different.
He has opened up the way between heaven and man, and his early foundation is extremely solid. Now he is in a stage of rapid progress.
Two months was enough for him. As long as he could find another batch of good resources, he could greatly improve his progress in refining organs. If he was lucky, he could refine all four organs, leaving only the heart, before setting off. At least, Qin Ziling was confident that he could refine the kidneys before entering the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier.
Since he killed the Che family father and daughter and others on the sea last time, Qin Ziling has been working as fiercely as a tiger since he came back. He has now used up most of the best resources suitable for refining his organs. Now, 70% of his lungs, spleen and liver have been refined.
The heart has been refined by 40 percent, while the kidneys have been refined by 85 percent.
There was no other way. Kidneys were related to the harmony and happiness of the relationship between husband and wife. Between the balance of the five elements and making progress together and the harmony and happiness of the relationship between husband and wife, Qin Ziling finally chose the latter. In terms of refining the organs, he consciously tilted his attention to the kidneys to a certain extent.
In addition to his own internal refining, another very important person is Ape Da and Ape Er.
Ever since Qin Ziling went to Heya County to collect the Yinsha Earth Vein last time, the cultivation of Ape Da and Ape Er has improved a lot. Now they are about to step into the threshold of high-level golden corpses.
But they still lack the resources needed for the finishing touch!
The magic blood crystal of the great demon general.
Originally, Qin Ziling wanted to delay for some time, waiting for his internal organs to be refined further before entering the underground world.
After all, one's own strength is the foundation, so the matters of Yuan Da and Yuan Er were postponed.
But it’s different now. The small wind and thunder barrier is extremely dangerous, so we must give priority to helping Yuan Da and Yuan Er break through.
The big demon general is naturally difficult to find and hunt.
But this is a different time now, Qin Ziling still has the body of the head of the Che family hidden in the corpse-raising ring.
The head of the Che family is a martial arts grandmaster. Qin Ziling speculated that using him as bait would increase the probability of attracting the great demon general.
With his current strength, and with the help of the four of them, killing the big demon will not be a problem.
The key lies in whether we can attract the big demon general.
However, even if you can't attract a big demon general, it would be good to attract more small and medium-sized demon generals.
Even if the magic blood crystals of the small and medium-sized demon generals can no longer help them break through the realm, they can at least steadily improve their cultivation.
It is a great tonic for Xiong Da and Ying Bao.
"Are you really not going to think about it carefully?" Jian Bailou saw Qin Ziling smiling without saying anything, and asked again helplessly.
"I have made up my mind!" Qin Ziling put away his smile and said in a deep voice.
"Okay then, I'll tell Zhuge Yunjin. The Tianyan Order is only given to me, but I can bring helpers with me." Jian Bailou looked at Qin Ziling deeply and said helplessly.
As soon as Jian Bailou finished speaking, Qin Ziling showed a hint of surprise.
Soon, Jian Bailou also showed a hint of surprise.
"Why are Sect Master Baiyu and Cui Shanhe here today as well?" Jian Bailou looked at Qin Ziling and asked.
"I don't know either. I didn't ask them out." Qin Ziling shook his head.
As soon as Qin Ziling finished speaking, the door of the Wuji Palace slowly opened.
Three strange birds fell from the sky one after another.
In addition to the Jinlie Sect's leaders Bai Yulieyang and Cui Shanhe, Xiao Qing also came with them.
The three of them came in and saw Jian Bailou was also there, so they quickly bowed and saluted.
"Sit down." After Qin Ziling greeted everyone, he waved his hand and said.
"Yes!" Bai Yu Lieyang and Cui Shanhe bowed slightly, and then sat down as instructed, while Xiao Qing sat next to Qin Ziling.
"Elder Bai Yu, cousin, you two have come here together today. Is there something important happening?" Qin Ziling asked.
Bai Yu Lieyang is now the leader of the Jinlie Sect on the surface, and secretly he also serves as the elder of the Wuji Sect.
The same goes for Cui Shanhe, but because he and Qin Ziling are cousins, Qin Ziling calls him cousin.
"Let Elder Cui speak first." Bai Yu Lieyang looked at Cui Shanhe and said.
"The Governor Wei Jiongkuan and the Commander-in-Chief Pang Zhiyuan jointly recommended me as the prefect of Jiugao County and put me in charge of the army of the county. The post of county lieutenant will no longer be established. Not only that, the post of county chancellor in Qinghe County will still be held by someone from the Cui family." Cui Shanhe nodded at Bai Yulieyang and said.
"Jiugao County is a big county in Xiyunzhou. Even though there have been constant disasters in recent years, Wei Jiongkuan and Pang Zhiyuan are still unwilling to let go. How come they are so generous to hand over Jiugao County to you all of a sudden? If you are trying to please me for no reason, you must be treacherous or deceitful. This matter doesn't seem to be simple!" Qin Ziling said, touching his chin when he heard it.
"Master is wise. I don't know whether Wei Jiongkuan has ulterior motives, but Pang Zhiyuan definitely has no good intentions." Cui Shanhe said.
"What do you mean?" Qin Ziling asked.
"It is said that the imperial court is considering sending troops to quell the rebellion in Nandingzhou!" Cui Shanhe said.
"No wonder! If the imperial court really wants to send troops to quell the rebellion in Nanding Prefecture, Jiugao County will be the front line of the battlefield. He is preparing to make us the vanguard soldiers, while his own people will hide behind." Qin Ziling said with relief.
"Master, your analysis is very correct. This is what Pang Zhiyuan had in mind. Otherwise, a few days ago, we followed your orders and sent people to help Jiugao County suppress the bandits and quell the chaos. They obstructed us in many ways, and even Pang Zhiyuan came out to call me over. How could they be so kind as to give up Jiugao County directly now?" Cui Shanhe said.
"But this matter is a bit strange. Nandingzhou has been in rebellion for many years, and the situation involved in Nandingzhou is rather complicated, so the imperial court has been keeping its troops on hold. Why are they suddenly discussing sending troops to quell the rebellion in Nandingzhou?" Qin Ziling frowned slightly.
Cui Shanhe did not answer when he heard this, but looked at Bai Yulieyang.
Bai Yu Lieyang took over the conversation upon seeing this: "Master, I heard that it was the Crown Prince who proposed to quell the rebellion in Nanding Prefecture!"
"Crown Prince?" Qin Ziling touched his chin, a hint of coldness flashing in the depths of his eyes.
He had a very bad impression of the Crown Prince of the Great Qi State. If it weren't for this guy's noble status and enormous power, he would have wanted to find an opportunity to kill him directly.
