At this time, Li Yan was standing in a spiritual valley field. He straightened up, holding the hoe with one hand, and wiping the sweat from his forehead with the other hand. Even with a physique like a monk, he was exhausted after hoeing two rows of weeds.
This task was taken on a few days ago. When I found the third senior brother, he just took out a hoe from the hut and threw it to him without any explanation. Li Yan didn't care at that time. Isn't it just farm work? He has been doing this frequently since he was a child, otherwise he would not dare to take it easily. He is considered an expert, but when he got off the ground, he was dumbfounded.
Li Yan took the hoe and asked about the location. After a few indifferent replies from the third senior brother, he got on the flying spiritual weapon and flew towards the Linggu field.
This is a piece of spiritual valley land of about hundreds of acres. The trees are shining with golden-green light. Li Yan It is like facing a sparkling valley wave half-waist deep. From these spiritual valleys, he feels the strong spiritual energy fluctuations. The breeze blows the valley waves up and down. Looking from a distance, the golden and green light spots are shaking together, making people suddenly feel that the world is wide and full of vitality.
The task he accepted was to hoe ten acres of weeds in one day, otherwise he would deduct a low-level spiritual stone. Of course, Li Yan felt that there was nothing wrong with it. After sighing at this pastoral scenery, he took off his robe and rolled up his sleeves. When he came to the ridge, he saw a lot of weeds. He took a deep breath, stood on his front and back feet, and put down the hoe. He only heard a "dang" sound, which made Li Yan's hands numb from the shock, but only a shallow trace was left on the ground, not to mention the cluster of motionless weeds. Li Yan After a pause, he raised the hoe again, exerted all his strength, and made another louder "ding" sound than before. There was still only a shallow mark left on the ground, which was not necessarily much deeper than before. It looked like Li Yan couldn't believe it. He was about to bend down and dig at the ground with his hands. At this moment, a voice came from behind him, "Junior brother, you are doing this. Is this the first time?"
Li Yan heard the words and looked back, only to see a person standing in another grain field dozens of feet away. He must also be weeding, but he didn't release Divine Sense just now, so he didn't realize that there was someone else here. The other party may have heard the loud noise here, and then he noticed Li Yan.
Li Yan quickly turned around and saluted, "This makes this senior brother laugh. It is indeed my first time to take on this mission, but I don't know what you call senior brother?"
The man was of medium build, in his thirties, with a short beard and a very refined look. Li Yan had not released Divine Sense. He was probably a monk Foundation Establishment Realm. That man had not released Divine Sense either. Otherwise, if he saw Li Yan's level of cultivation, he would probably have called him "nephew".
"Four Symbols Peak Zhang Kui, I wonder who this junior brother is?"
"Oh, I am Small Bamboo Peak's disciple, Li Yan" Li Yan replied with a smile.
"Oh? Li Yan...Li Yan? I remembered that it seems to be the junior disciple of Small Bamboo Peak who only became a few years ago. I heard him talk about it when chatting with Daqiao before." When the middle-aged monk heard this, he was stunned at first, thought for a moment, and then laughed.
Li Yan smiled and nodded, thinking, "It's not surprising that Seventh Senior Brother heard about this."
"What? Junior Brother Li came here without receiving the method from Senior Brother Yun?"
Li Yan It's not easy to just say that the third senior brother just threw him a hoe. He didn't even know about this place until he asked, so he had to scratch it.
</di>
He scratched his head.
Zhang Mei seemed to understand something, "Haha, I understand. Just tell you, it's not too difficult. The hoe in our hands is not a common thing like a farmer's. It is also a primary spiritual weapon. When hoeing the ground, you need to concentrate your spiritual power." You can do it inside, but the weeds in the grain fields are most afraid of gold spiritual power, followed by fire spiritual power. If you use wood spiritual power, water spiritual power, or earth spiritual power, not only will it not be able to remove it, but it will help its roots spread even more crazily. That's it."
After saying that, he nodded to Li Yan, and then bent down to do things.
Li Yan also hurriedly returned the gift. Knowing that he could give so many pointers was considered a favor, otherwise no matter what he did. At this time, I also thought that when I took on this mission, there was a reminder that the requirement was gold and fire spiritual power. I still didn't know it at the time, but I ignored it later. It turned out to be this.
As a result, the Gui Water True Meridian in the body was circulating, and the golden spiritual power took shape in an instant. The next moment, it was injected into the spiritual hoe. The golden light of the hoe shone slightly. Li Yan took the hoe and dug it down. He heard a soft "chi" sound, and the piece of land was turned over. It was exactly what Zhang Kui said.
In this way, Li Yan started working in the ridge, but after half an hour, he straightened up, sweating profusely, and his face was a little pale, because the spiritual energy in his body was empty. Originally, with his Qi Condensation Stage seventh-level spiritual power, let alone ten acres of land, there would be no reaction if a mortal cultivates a hundred acres of land. It's just that this spiritual valley is very strange, quite hard, and the weeds in it are nearly three feet deep. If he pours too little spiritual energy, he can't hoe it away. If he pours too much spiritual energy, it will be wasted. Just like that, when he came down from the two ridges, his body's spiritual energy was almost empty. Looking at the remaining large fields of grain, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It seems that a spiritual stone has flown away again." It would take more than ten hours for him to meditate and recover, how could he complete it in one day.
The days passed by making less and losing more. Two months later, in the evening, Li Yan looked at the clean, grassless grain fields in the ten acres, and raised the corners of his mouth.
During this period of time, he lost a lot of spiritual stones. Although he also took on the task of watering the Black King Bamboo, plus the spiritual stones he received every month, he still owed the mission hall twenty-six spiritual stones. However, in the following days, this situation should lessen.
Although he lost a lot of spiritual stones, Li Yan also learned a lot, such as the reasonable use of spiritual power, the rapid conversion of the five elements of spiritual power, the speed of spiritual power recovery, the purity of spiritual power, etc., all of which benefited him greatly. Just during the resumption of practice after weeding, he was upgraded to the late seventh level of Qi Condensation Stage. It was so natural that he was not prepared at all, and he was very happy.
The days passed in such a fulfilling way, and every day Li Yan was busy between Spirit Plant gardening and cultivation, like a hard-working little bee.
On this day, Li Yan got up early in the morning. After a simple wash, he opened the courtyard gate array and headed straight to the mission hall. He still owed the mission hall twenty-six spiritual stones. He had to hurry up, otherwise he would owe twenty-seven spiritual stones next month. The interest rate of this sect was really scary.
However, recently, due to the large number of Foundation Establishment monks from the sect going out for training, a lot of tasks have been accumulated in the mission halls of each peak, so he still has the Mo Wang Bamboo mission and the Linggu Watering mission that he is familiar with. I heard from Zhang Kui that the Laojun Peak main mission hall has accumulated a lot of tasks, but I think these tasks will disappear soon after the Foundation Establishment selection is over. The missions he and Zhang Kui have done in recent months are basically the same. Zhang Kui is not a person who is good at fighting, otherwise he would go to the mission hall to take out missions, so that he can earn more spiritual stones. Moreover, he did not sign up for this Foundation Establishment competition. Wangliang Sect There are still many people like him who only focus on improving their realm and wanting to gain immortality, and they are not all fighting madmen.
Li Yan has not taken on other types of tasks recently, and is only concentrating on the tasks of watering the Mo Wang Bamboo and weeding the Linggu Field. He will first earn some spiritual stones to pay off the debt. After leaving the courtyard gate, he was about to release the flying spiritual weapon when he saw a flash of light in the sky above the bamboo forest, and a huge letter fell down.
"Junior brother, go slow, I just happened to be here by chance." A gentle voice came from the front.
Li Yan was stunned, not knowing why the senior brother came to see him so early in the morning. He quickly bowed and said, "Hello, senior brother, if you need something, just send a message in the token. I'll be there, why bother to go all the way."
Li Wuyi has put away the magic weapon and walked over steadily, "Haha, I think it's better to explain this matter in person, and I'm not always in the main hall."
Li Yan couldn't help but feel doubtful after hearing this. It seemed like it was no small matter that his senior brother came to see him for something.
So they opened the courtyard door again, and the two of them walked into the courtyard and sat down on the stone bench. Li Yan took out the tea set and poured two cups of tea. He was not a good eater, and he usually just quenched his thirst with plain water. Zhang Kui had given some of this tea in the Spirit Plant garden.
Li Wuyi took a sip of tea and felt his mouth full of saliva. He couldn't help but nodded, and then his face straightened.
"Junior brother, I came here to tell you something important. Recently, my master and my wife are in retreat. I am handling all matters in the peak. Yesterday, I received an order from the sect master and I went to Laojun Peak, after listening to the instructions from all the masters about picking in the secret realm next year, a few days ago, Golden Core Realm masters from the three sects of Taixuan Sect, Pure Land Sect, and Ten-Step Academy came in front of them. The three sects came to our sect to discuss this matter. The three sects proposed that after next year's picking, they would like to open another small space of the wheel of life and death in the secret realm for a big competition. This wheel of life and death existed tens of thousands of years ago. It was opened for trial after the Gold Core Realm overhauled the secret realm to pick. However, after the monk Foundation Establishment Realm entered the secret realm to pick, the wheel of life and death was closed. The reason for the closure is only known to the master.
The wheel of life and death should be a bloody Dharma Treasure refined by ancient cultivators in the secret realm. It is held in a huge sphere in the secret realm. It consists of twenty passage entrances extending from different directions into the center of the sphere. Each passage must be led by a high-level monk with three persons who are smaller than his level. Sixteen monks stood on it. These twenty roads were independent and unrelated to each other. At first, each road was only ten miles in length. But as the monks continued to move towards the center of the sphere, the length of the roads would continue to extend towards the center of the sphere. These roads were constantly twisting and moving in the sphere, like twenty flying stars.
</di>
The strip, as a whole, looks like an irregular rotation in a ball, but people on it will not feel the shaking of the road, so it is called the Wheel of Life and Death. In this process, there will always be two roads that will intersect at the end during the extension process, so no one can know which two roads intersect. At the moment of intersection, the ends of the two roads will stop extending, and the seventy-four monks on the two roads will meet. At this time, the two sides must fight. After only thirty-seven or less than thirty-seven monks are left, the two roads will become one road again, and they can continue to move towards the center of the sphere. "
Speaking of this, Li Wuyi glanced at Li Yan, who lowered his head in thought.
"Junior brother, don't you have any curiosity or questions?" Li Wuyi took a sip of tea and asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Sir, I think there must be some reason to force the two sides to fight. Otherwise, both sides would just wait there for the end. For example, if they cannot reach the center of the ball, the entire team will die, or there will be a huge threat when the two roads intersect."
Li Wuyi praised after hearing this, "My junior brother is really smart. Although he didn't guess it right, he also guessed the key point. The competition between life and death is speed. In the end, the first three groups to reach can enter the center of the ball. The center of the ball is divided into four layers. Everyone can reach the third On the first floor, the arriving teams will be transferred to different compartments in order, where there will be rich rewards of different levels. These rewards are far more generous than picking outside, but in the end not all the things obtained will belong to the individual, but everyone can choose a treasure first, or do something. The fragile treasures are not required, and the remaining ones must be exchanged for spiritual stones of equal value to the sect. This sounds unkind. After all, everyone in the team has fought for their lives, so why should they be handed over to the sect? But even so, everyone is rushing to get everything there. Treasures may not be obtained or even seen in your lifetime, so they are very precious. The sect has spent so much resources cultivating you to grow, and it takes a lot of precious resources to open the secret realm, so most of the treasures obtained must be turned over to the sect."
Li Yan nodded when he heard this. Of course he agreed with this point of view, and also understood the reason that the senior brother explained to him, which was to let him know that if he went, he would not have any barriers to the sect in his heart.
"As long as everyone reaches the first level of the center of the ball, there will be no death, but there will be no reward. In the end, they will be teleported out together with the other three-level team members, which means that everyone who stays on the path will die in the end. The kind of death is watching the people around you die one by one, which is unbearable, and you may even go crazy and attack your teammates before dying.
Because this sphere will automatically open once the twenty-lane and seven hundred and forty personnel are full. From this moment on, the sphere will continue to shrink and compress toward the center of the sphere. During this contraction process, a large area of black shadow will be produced on the edge of the sphere, which is like a huge black curse pressed down from the sky. As long as the human body touches these black shadows, Shadows, whether they are magic weapons, Dharma Treasure, or human flesh and blood, will turn into ashes in an instant, and no one will be spared. Therefore, when two roads intersect, both sides must fight desperately to open the extension of the road before the large area of black shadow arrives when the sphere continues to shrink, otherwise they will die soon. "
