Chapter 399 Come Out
"Please put away the Lei Xun stone, storage ring and other things. Don't worry, you risked your life for these, I won't take them." Qin Ziling waved his hand and said.
Upon hearing this, Ma Wude looked up at Qin Ziling in disbelief, his eyes suddenly red.
He is just a casual cultivator, and it has been a very difficult and bumpy journey for him to get to where he is today.
This time when I came to the small barrier, I thought I was going to die, but unexpectedly I had a good chance and found a lot of good things. I even found two large pieces of Leixun stone at the last moment.
The more Lei Xun Stones you find, the richer the rewards from Tian Yan Sect will be.
Ma Wude thought he was going to get rich this time, but he ran into people from Danxia Palace.
The other party is so cruel that he wants to kill people and rob.
Originally Ma Wude thought that he was going to die this time because the opponents were two middle-level masters, so when he saw Qin Ziling, he didn't want to live anymore, so he resolutely turned around to resist, only hoping that Qin Ziling could escape and bring a message back for him, which could be regarded as helping him to avenge his hatred.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ziling was so powerful that he was almost a demon. He killed two people in the blink of an eye and did not even ask for his benefit.
"Let's go!" Qin Ziling couldn't bear to see the grown man's red eyes, so he left a word and walked forward.
Seeing this, Ma Wude hurriedly chased after him.
Qin Ziling hurried forward while starting to count the harvest.
Just as Ma Wude said, the storage rings of these two people indeed each contained a Leixun stone that was twice the size of a goose egg, five or six Leixun stones that were as big as eggs, some elixirs, and magic crystal stones.
Qin Ziling didn't feel too surprised about their gain.
After all, after searching back and forth in the wind and thunder barrier for two months, those who can survive, even if they are outside the restricted area, will have some gains.
Moreover, those that are missing are not what they found, and some may be obtained through murder and robbery.
“Ma Wude knows about the two Leixun stones that are larger than goose eggs, so I can’t embezzle them. Otherwise, if he lets it slip, Tianyan Sect will guess that I have some means to conceal the truth.
I was just thinking whether to hand over some of the Thunderstones as a token of appreciation or pretend that I got nothing. Now I don't have to bother thinking about it, so I just hand over the two big Thunderstones from these two people, plus two small ones, since I got them for free anyway.
This can be considered as giving face to Teacher Lai. After all, he is the leader and I am his registered disciple. It seems a bit embarrassing for him to come empty-handed. "Qin Ziling walked while thinking about it, and then quietly transferred some things to the storage ring in the Niwan Palace, leaving only some spiritual medicines, magic crystals, two large and two small Leixun stones.
Then, Qin Ziling casually threw away the two storage rings and flying swords of the Danxia Palace disciples.
Two storage rings with small space and two flying swords are nothing to Qin Ziling now.
However, he has a way to conceal his true intentions, and for now, not a single bit of it can be leaked out.
"My benefactor is very cautious and never makes mistakes. This storage ring from Danxia Palace, and the flying sword they use, may have been marked , you will be in big trouble." Ma Wude felt both distressed and admired when he saw Qin Ziling casually throwing away the storage ring and flying sword.
"After all, Danxia Palace is one of the four major sects of the Great Qi Kingdom. It's always better to be careful." Qin Ziling glanced at Ma Wude and said lightly.
Ma Wude felt inexplicably uneasy when he saw Qin Ziling's look.
Poor Ma Wude had no idea that Qin Ziling had the ability to conceal his true intentions, and it was only because of his presence that he had to put on some pretense.
Otherwise, why would we just kill him and silence him?
The return journey was smooth and before long, the two arrived near the entrance.
Above, the space was still fluctuating violently, and was covered with spider web-like cracks.
More than ten people have gathered nearby.
The masters who survived the calamity all had a look of excitement and anticipation on their faces.
Near this space crack, people from the outside world can already vaguely see some scenes through the space crack, so they don't have to worry about anyone daring to kill and rob here.
Of course, everyone was wary under the watchful eyes of the public.
Time passes quietly while waiting.
Later, another ten people came one after another.
When the number of people reached twenty-five, no one else came.
There were a total of one hundred people coming in from the Tianyan Sect, and now, including Qin Ziling and Ma Wude, there are only ten left.
Fifty people came in from each of the four major sects. Now there are five people left in Xuanjian Sect, four people left in Cangshan Sect, four people left in Lingyun Palace, and only two people left in Danxia Palace.
Qin Ziling watched as three hundred people went in and only twenty-five were left in the end, and he felt quite complicated.
It was indeed a life-or-death situation!
This way of cultivation seems so glamorous in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact it is extremely cruel when it comes to elimination.
Ma Wude looked at the twenty or so people scattered around him and thought about what had happened before. He was not as excited as the others about to see the light of day again. Instead, his expression was particularly complicated. He glanced at Qin Ziling from time to time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, Ma Wude seemed to have made a decision and whispered to Qin Ziling, "My benefactor, can you please move aside so we can talk?"
"Okay!" Qin Ziling looked at Ma Wude in confusion, nodded, and then the two walked to a deserted place.
"My benefactor, I have a request that you make. I hope you can agree to it." Ma Wude said.
"You say it, but please be casual in addressing me from now on. Just call me Fellow Daoist Qin or my name." Qin Ziling said.
"My benefactor has been very kind to me, and I have no way to repay him. After I get out, I want to follow you around and serve you wholeheartedly. I hope you can accept me." Ma Wude bowed and clasped his fists, still calling Qin Ziling his benefactor.
Qin Ziling looked at Ma Wude intently after hearing this, and after a long silence, he said: "You have gained a lot this time. After you go out, Tianyan Sect will definitely give you a lot of rewards. Moreover, with your gains, you should be qualified to worship an inner sect elder as your master and become his registered disciple.
Once you become a registered disciple of the Tianyan Sect's inner sect elder, your status will suddenly change. It is not appropriate for you to follow me and be my follower. "
"If there really is an inner sect elder who accepts me as a registered disciple, a casual cultivator like me will just be a nominal disciple. How could he treat me sincerely and teach me how to practice? My benefactor is different. You are a man of great righteousness , uprightness, and high level of cultivation. I follow you not only to repay your kindness, but also to find a home for myself. Therefore, even if there is really an inner sect elder who accepts me as a registered disciple, I am willing to be your follower!" Ma Wude said with a determined look on his face.
"Come to think of it, I'm really short of a Qi-refining master who practices the fire-based Taoism. Since you said so, let's temporarily decide on it. After a while, if I really think you are capable, I will make the final confirmation. During this time, you can also think about it again. What do you think?" Qin Ziling said after hesitating for a moment.
After all, Qin Ziling didn't know much about Ma Wude, and he was no longer the same person he used to be, with many secrets. Even if the other party was a master, he would still observe him and would not accept everyone.
Ma Wude naturally didn't know that Qin Ziling was now very wealthy and had always been generous to his subordinates. If he accepted him, it would not be a good thing for Qin Ziling to accept a master as his subordinate for nothing , but it would be a great opportunity for him, Ma Wude.
So when he saw Qin Ziling say this, he thought Qin Ziling was worried that he had wronged him, and he admired him even more in his heart. He knelt on one knee and said, "I will follow the master's arrangements in everything."
“I don’t need you to follow me now, and since you have made such a great contribution this time, the Tianyan Sect will definitely summon you specially, and according to the rules, an inner sect elder will accept you as a registered disciple.
I want to know more about the situation in Tianyan Sect, but I don't want to go there for the time being. So, take this opportunity to help me find out about the situation in Tianyan Sect." Qin Ziling helped Ma Wude up and said.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Qin Ziling is full of secrets now, and there is a high possibility that there will be a powerful person in the Jindan realm in Tianyan Sect. He cannot guarantee whether any clues will be discovered, so he definitely cannot go to Tianyan Sect now.
If we want to go, we have to wait until he has digested some resources and his strength has reached a higher level. At the same time , he should have a general understanding of the situation of Tianyan Sect .
Of course, the Tianyan Sect can’t offer him any benefits that are worth his attention now.
"I obey your command!" Ma Wude bowed and replied.
He was a casual cultivator who had made it all the way to where he was today and became a master of Qi Refining. Naturally, he had some scheming and knew the rules. Upon hearing Qin Ziling's instructions, apart from a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, he did not ask any extra questions and directly accepted the order.
Qin Ziling was quite satisfied with Ma Wude's performance. He nodded and said, "It is still inappropriate for us to address each other as master and servant now. Just call me Fellow Daoist Qin as before."
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Qin." Ma Wude nodded.
"Well, let's go back." Qin Ziling nodded, and then returned to the crowd with Ma Wude.
The two returned to the crowd. After a while, the sun gradually moved westward. When the sun was about to set, the space above suddenly fluctuated more violently.
Everyone started to get excited.
Suddenly, ten dragon claws stretched out and violently tore open the space crack, revealing a passage.
"People from Tianyan Sect, come out first!" A majestic voice with a hint of haste and fatigue came from outside.
Qin Ziling and ten other people immediately controlled their energy and flew into the air, with magical powers flowing throughout their bodies to protect them.
After a period of twisting space, Qin Ziling felt his whole body lighten and he was already in a familiar environment.
Tianling Mountains, the top of a mountain.
Lai Yinuan and the other five masters of the mystic arts were using their full strength to tear open the cracks and open the passage. Figures flew out of the passage one after another.
In addition to the five masters, there were a dozen more people on the top of the mountain.
Qin Ziling felt that the ones with the worst cultivation among these people were all Qi Refining Grand Masters, and they were also the kind of Grand Masters with powerful magic powers.
Supervisor Gongsun Yun was also present.
