In the evening, two figures appeared at the place where the divine talisman was moved in Fengyang County.
One tall and one short.
A man and a woman.
Heishui has changed back into ordinary clothes and is wearing a black gauze hat, dressed like a well-traveled mortal warrior. Beside him, the junior sister clenched her hands nervously.
On the index finger of her left hand, there was an inconspicuous ring.
Following Heishui out of the talisman, the junior sister looked back.
This was not the first time she had used the teleportation talisman.
However, the distance from Luojiaojian to the county town is not long, and according to previous habits, there is no need for talismans.
Each use costs one immortal coin, which is not a luxury for a casual cultivator with no background, but it is definitely a waste.
"Big Brother, where are we going?"
Since she started practicing, the junior sister has been practicing in Luojiaojian all year round and rarely comes to a prosperous place like the county town. She follows her senior brother walking on the street, looking left and right from time to time.
After all, she is a girl in her teens.
Although she is already a formal Qi training cultivator, she still cannot avoid the nature of a girl.
Seeing that her once cheerful senior brother remained silent, she asked in a low voice.
Heishui didn't look back, but just said softly:
"I'll take you to see the boss. There's also a... uh, it seems to be called a weapons report. You need to do it for him."
"boss?"
The junior sister blinked and said:
"Is he a great monk? Or a wealthy merchant like Ruyifang?"
In the past, Junior Sister was also sent by Master to work for wealthy merchants in the mortal world.
Generally, they are used to escort valuable goods, or when they have offended an enemy, they want to find a cultivator to guard their home. Casual cultivators can also use this service in exchange for some materials for cultivation.
The Immortal Alliance does not prohibit this kind of behavior, but condones it.
For casual cultivators.
Especially for the independent cultivators in Fengming Country, serving powerful mortals is not something shameful.
As long as you are careful not to get involved in worldly disputes, there won't be many short-sighted thieves who dare to rob a caravan protected by monks.
So the junior sister asked this question.
Heishui's expression was a little strange. He thought for a moment and said:
“Yes and no.
This is a bit difficult to explain, you will know when you meet him later, don't worry, the boss is not a bad person, he has some connection with Mo Shuangshan, he is an upright person. "
"Wow, Mo Shuang Mountain!"
The little sister's eyes widened suddenly. After hearing the news from the largest sect in the area, she said in a brisk tone:
"He must be a very powerful monk. Brother, you have found a good job for yourself ."
"hehe"
Heishui smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.
Taking my junior sister with me, we headed towards Ruyi Market.
Although his cultivation was destroyed by Zhu Baifeng, his physique as a cultivator in the Qi training stage was still there, and he walked very fast. His junior sister also practiced all year round.
He walks lightly and swiftly, like a jumping deer.
The two soon arrived at the bustling market town. Although it was already evening, the market town was still bustling with some vendors dressed in strange ways, who were bringing out bundles of barbecue.
This novel food, served with fragrant condiments, grilled over high charcoal fire, and served with refreshing wine and fruit juice, has attracted many gourmets to wait here in just a few days.
It is said that this way of eating was invented by Mr. Zhu Da, who was in charge of the market.
It sells quite well.
Seeing that the junior sister had not eaten or drunk anything for the whole day, Heishui considerately bought her a few large skewers. Although she was a new employee, she could still enjoy the internal discount of Kunlun Fang when buying things at home.
It didn’t cost much, but the little junior sister enjoyed the meal very much.
The first-class casual cultivators, breathing the wind and drinking the dew, not being involved in the secular world, sounded carefree. But in the valleys, what about the real life of eating and sleeping in the open air...
Oh, it’s better not to say anything.
"The boss is waiting for you, handsome boy, go quickly."
Heishui brought his junior sister to Liu's study and met Julie who had just got off work.
Mr. Zhu seemed to have changed his personality. He no longer had his former bold dress style. Now he looked like a local noble lady, holding a civet cat.
She spoke to Heishui with a smile, and then, followed by a group of maids, strode towards the bathing pool in a very dignified manner.
Although Julie thought her outfit was conservative enough, the legs that were exposed when she walked and the white light on her chest still made the junior sister blush.
He whispered something like "Don't see what's indecent" and "The world is going downhill."
"Come."
Heishui called out to his junior sister, straightened his clothes, and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Jiang Xia's voice rang out from the house, and Heishui immediately pushed the door open. The little sister also followed her brother in with excitement and anticipation to meet the great monk.
But when I saw it , I was greatly disappointed.
What.
Not even at the Qi training stage.
His cultivation is not as good as mine, and his spiritual energy is so superficial...
"Boss, I'm back."
Heishui saluted Jiang Xia respectfully and quietly kicked the junior sister's leg. The latter also bent down to salute, but her scrutinizing gaze did not escape Jiang Xia's attention.
"You completed the mission well. It's not a waste to give you the precious medicine and this fine firearm."
Jiang Xia sat on the armchair, talking to Heishui. In front of his left eye, he could see the knowledge of the spirit-attaching technique. He spoke in a gentle tone, trying to do two things at once:
"You have completed your induction test. Next, you will continue your training with Su. I will first assign you to the weapons manufacturing department of Kunlun Square. Master Craftsman Malte will be your boss.
Your salary will be distributed monthly according to the contract, but the remuneration for the first ten years has been advanced to you in the form of precious medicines.
So you have to work for me for ten years for nothing.
The food, clothing, training resources, elixirs and weapons consumed during the past ten years will all be deducted from your next salary.
Any questions?
"No, I follow instructions, boss."
Blackwater did not refute.
Jiang Xia was very satisfied with the calmness after suffering, as well as the obedience that Su had forced on Heishui through devilish training.
He added:
"Now, tell me, as the first user of the Kunlun Square monks' self-defense weapon system, how do you feel about our weapons?"
“It’s very useful.”
Heishui took out the semi-automatic heavy sniper rifle made by Jiang Xia from the ring, held it in both hands, and returned it to the boss.
He summarized it as detailed as possible, saying:
"Zhu Baifeng is a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining. His body shield is very strong, several times stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator at the Qi Refining stage. However, the bullet fired by the spirit spear can still break the shield.
This shows that the destructive power of bullets is no less than that of magical weapons.
Moreover, the use of the spirit spear does not require mental manipulation. When a single spirit array is activated, the consumption of spiritual power is almost negligible. Even if all six spirit arrays are activated, the pressure can still be tolerated.
It is much more convenient than any other tool I have ever used.
The concealment is also excellent.
In today's battle, I had Instructor Su to cooperate with me, but I think that without the cooperation of the instructor, I would be able to fire the first shot without being detected by Zhu Baifeng in advance."
"No, that's not what I want to hear."
Jiang Xia raised his hand and interrupted Heishui.
He said seriously:
"I know the advantages of this spirit spear better than you do. I made it myself, and I know very well what it can do. What I want to hear is its disadvantages.
This gun, as well as the monk self-defense weapon system we have just started, can be improved in many areas, and I need you to point out these shortcomings. "
"this……"
Heishui took a peek at Jiang Xia's expression, and after confirming that the boss was not deliberately testing him, he spoke:
“There are indeed some shortcomings.”
“ First of all, its power is enough for ordinary Qi training cultivators, but when facing Zhu Baifeng, its power is still a little lacking.
From what I see, boss, the biggest advantage of this magic gun is long-range sneak attacks. If it can seriously injure or even kill someone with one shot, it will be a good magic weapon.
It's concealed enough, but its power is still a little lacking.
Second, there is the issue of bullets.
Zhu Baifeng was on guard after the first shot.
Even though the spirit-possessed bullets were very fast, they were still not faster than his reaction. I fired a few shots afterwards, but he avoided my vital points and was able to fight back.
If future targets are like Zhu Baifeng, the flying speed of the spirit-attached bullets must be at least twice as fast.
In that case, at least at the Qi training stage, no one would be able to escape its sneak attack.
But this is not really a problem.”
Heishui pointed to his storage ring and said to Jiang Xia:
"The speed and quantity of the spirit-attached bullets of the Ten Thousand Enemies Rapid-Firing Gun can make up for the speed of the bullets.
If it is this kind of automatic gun, firing hundreds of bullets in between, then even the fastest Qi training cultivator would not have enough time to escape if he was attacked without a protective magic weapon.
that is……
The only final drawback.
I think the biggest disadvantage is that it is too expensive.
Boss, I know how difficult it is to make this spirit-infused bullet. It's okay to use a semi-automatic spirit gun to shoot it, but if you use a rapid-fire cannon that can kill ten thousand enemies, then it won't be a fight to kill the enemy.
This is simply using immortal money to smash the opponent to death."
"Um."
Jiang Xia wrote down these two questions and said to Heishui:
"That's great. This is the first-line experience I want. As for what you said, there is actually a problem. You don't know enough about the spirit spear.
It's not just for sneak attacks.
In my conception, this kind of weapon should be able to gain the upper hand in a head-on battle by relying on firepower, and even be able to kill enemies at a higher level.
It must be deterrent enough.
Malte is preparing other spirit-infused weapons as the first-stage supplement to the monks' self-defense weapon system. In the next period of time, you have to cooperate with him to complete the weapon debugging.
When the market opens, I will come up with works that are amazing enough to astound all of you fellow Taoists. This will all require your efforts!
As for the question of cost..."
Lao Jiang shrugged his shoulders and said with a curled lip:
"Why would a poor guy use a Gatling gun? Want to become stronger without spending money? Know that you are a poor guy, so just play with the bolt-action rifle!"
"Yes! Boss."
Heishui has been trained well by Su these days. This young man who has lost something knows the value of regaining what he has lost. He has seen the power that his boss possesses.
If he wanted to become a member of this promising group, he had to demonstrate his abilities.
However, he obviously had selfish motives in bringing his junior sister to see Jiang Xia.
"Boss, there are still some spoils that need your personal inspection."
Heishui turned his head and winked at his junior sister, who hurriedly took off the storage ring, stepped forward, took out everything in the ring, and placed them in front of Jiang Xia.
A pile of black stones, but with occasional flashes of electric arcs.
A diagram of a battle formation depicting a red monster with a dragon head and a fish body.
There are also several magical instruments.
Finally, there is an ancient martial arts book and a few bottles.
"Please introduce this girl to me."
Jiang Xia did not look at the things on the table. Instead, he looked at the junior sister with interest. His gaze was so aggressive that the junior sister could not help but lower her head.
I thought this older brother was so weird, it made me feel embarrassed to look at him.
"Boss, this is my junior sister. Her name is Liu Yin. She has the rare wind spirit root in the local area and has a good talent for cultivation."
Heishui said softly:
"I hope to use these spoils to ask the boss for a set of precious ash medicine for my junior sister. Boss, don't underestimate these things.
This Thunder Control Stone and the Carp-Dragon Transformation Formation Diagram were treasures that Zhu Baifeng purchased from someone else after exhausting his family fortune.
It is specially used to help cultivators survive the thunder tribulation of heaven and earth. Not only can it resist the power of thunder tribulation, but once the formation diagram is activated, a continuous flow of vitality will flow into the body, which can protect the cultivator from being seriously injured.
Moreover, I have heard Zhu Baifeng say that if this diagram is used in conjunction with the Lightning Control Stone to survive the thunder tribulation, there is a small chance that it can bring in the Nine Heavens Thunder Qi and grant the cultivator the ability to control lightning.”
"Oh? Is it that amazing?"
Jiang Xia immediately became interested.
He stretched out his hand and stroked the formation diagram, which was as delicate as silk. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but as spiritual energy poured in, the carp dragon painted on it swayed a little like a living thing.
On the edge of the formation diagram, there is an exquisite stamp, indicating that this formation diagram is the work of Liangyi Weichen Mountain, which monopolizes the talisman paper industry in Kumu Realm.
He picked up the technique next to him and took a look at it.
This is the martial art practiced by Zhu Baifeng and his disciples, named Chasing Wind Spirit Art. It is the most suitable martial art for those with wind spiritual roots, and it focuses on transforming spiritual power into sword wind.
It comes naturally and is very powerful.
But he could only cultivate to the middle stage of the realm of truth, and that was not enough.
"It's not as good as my Su Yi Jing, it's far inferior."
Jiang Xia thought about it, then threw the spiritual spell aside, picked up a few bottles, opened the stoppers and sniffed.
Spirit Gathering Pill.
He is already very familiar with this stuff.
Even a little disgusted.
After all, if you eat it as a meal every day, you will get tired of it even if it is the best.
"These are your master's things, so you can use them for yourselves."
Jiang Xia returned the technique to Heishui, and took out a few more bottles of top-grade Soul Gathering Pills from the drawer, making a total of ten bottles. He pushed them to Liu Yin and said with a smile:
"This is the first time we meet, and I don't have anything good to give you, little Taoist friend. I'll just give you a few bottles of elixirs and give you a red envelope. You can eat them as candy."
"Jelly beans?"
There was a lot of confusion in Liu Yin's big eyes, and she wondered if her senior brother's boss had something wrong with his brain.
However, the boss is really generous.
So many elixirs were just thrown to me casually.
This is a hundred times more generous than the stingy Zhu Baifeng, no... a thousand times more than enough.
"I'll take this formation diagram and the Thunder Stone."
Jiang Xia wiped his fingers on the table, and put the Carp-Dragon Transformation Diagram and the Thunder Stone into his ring, and said to Heishui:
"Take Xiaoyin to find Jasmine, and ask her to go through the internal procedures and get a precious medicine in your name for your junior sister, just like the one you used before."
"Boss, I heard from Instructor Su that we have even better quality premium medicines in Kunlun Square."
Heishui gritted his teeth and said:
"I want to ask for one for my junior sister. After all, she is one of the few people I am close to."
"oh?"
Jiang Xia blinked his eyes, his gaze moving back and forth between Heishui and the ignorant little girl several times. A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly:
"Top-grade precious medicine is very expensive, Heishui. If you want to get this medicine for your junior sister, I'm afraid you will have to work for me for at least another twenty years for nothing. Are you sure you want to change?
Counting the current ten years, that’s thirty years, a small portion of your life, so you need to think it through.”
“Senior Brother!”
After hearing Jiang Xia's words, Junior Sister Liu Yin also felt that something was wrong.
Although she didn't know what the precious ash medicine that her senior brother was talking about was, when she heard that she had to exchange his twenty years of his life for it, she immediately grabbed his hand.
His eyes were full of rejection.
"Don't worry, it's worth it."
Heishui smiled at his junior sister, then turned back and said to Jiang Xia seriously:
"Boss, I do."
"good!"
Jiang Xia changed his posture, crossed his fingers, supported his chin, and said:
"Go find Jasmine, and revise your contract. Also, when you two get married, don't forget to send me an invitation."
"Boss, my junior sister and I are not..."
"No need to explain, no need to explain, I understand, young people are like that."
"Go ahead, I'm busy."
