Cultivation Of Coders

Chapter 153 Ruins?

A moment later, Qin Shizhong hurried over.

We arrived together with a few guys who were carrying materials.

However, Qin Shizhong was afraid that he would be seduce in this way, so every time the man arrived at the entrance of the mountain stream, he would be sent back.

Then he walked over slowly by himself, not to mention being very careful. For more than half a year, Zhang Deming watched, but he had no objection to it.

When Qin Shizhong was let in by Zong En, spiritual energy surged around his body, and several rattan sticks rolled up a pile of materials before he came to Zhang Deming.

After putting the things down, he did not enter the normal handover mode.

Zhang Deming looked at the other party in confusion and said, "What, is there something wrong?"

Qin Shizhong nodded and said, "Senior Brother Zhang doesn't know about defensive materials, is it okay to mutate them?"

Zhang Deming asked in confusion: "What direction of mutation?"

Qin Shizhong said: "The direction of the metal changes, it is very violent, and it is not suitable for weapon refining or formation training.

Because in terms of speed attribute materials, senior brother, you can even accept the Spirit Deer, so I asked. "

Zhang Deming nodded and said: "It should be possible, as long as the spirituality is enough, what's the matter?"

Qin Shizhong said happily after hearing this: "Recently, the prices of many materials in the market have plummeted, but most of them are not pure and have some mutations.

The price of pure ones has increased a bit, so I considered your cost, brother, and it would be the most cost-effective for us to change the materials. "

When Zhang Deming heard this, his eyes flickered and he said: "By the way, half a month ago, it was said that there was some notice at the outer door.

So much so that the entire outer gate has become quite deserted. Does this have something to do with it? "

Qin Shizhong nodded and said: "Yes, a sect mission notification was sent.

All the apprentices of the three arts, Brother Late Stage, who are recorded in the register, have received the notification.

It is said that such a large-scale sect-level mission has not been seen for several years. It is also because of this mission that the price of materials has plummeted.

Combat and survival-related items have slightly increased prices. "

Zhang Deming asked doubtfully: "Do you know what the mission is? I've been a bit of a nerd lately and haven't been exposed to this information."

Qin Shizhong's face twitched, you are a bit of a geek. After more than half a year, you are the geekiest client I have ever come into contact with.

"The monster clearing task seems to be a sudden change in the monsters in the back mountain. It's a bit serious, so the sect directly issued the sect task.

Mobilizing people to go to the southern area of ​​​​the back mountain to hunt monsters will give you good additional rewards.

At one time, hundreds of thousands of the sect's senior apprentices and above were dispatched to mobilize and clear the collection.

I heard some rumors that there is a mission to find the source of mutation in the inner gate. It is said that the reward is a bit enviable. "Qin Shizhong said.

In Zhang Deming's mind, some scenes of what he had experienced in the back mountain flashed through his mind.

After all, it has been more than a year. Isn't this matter over yet?

It seems that the monster beast's mutation is a bit serious.

"No wonder I feel that the sect has become a lot more deserted recently." Zhang Deming said.

Qin Shizhong answered: "Isn't that right? It is said that the inner sect is a bit exaggerated. It has been on duty for more than half a year."

Zhang Deming knew this. Zhang Deming nodded and said, "Tell me about the materials."

Hearing this, Qin Shizhong took out a bag and said, "Because I didn't know if it was feasible, I brought some samples.

Senior brother, you can test it. If it works, we can take this opportunity to stock up on some goods.

Especially defensive materials, some advanced apprentice materials, after mutation, their spiritual strength is close to that of one-star Tai Chi materials.

If the mutation had not affected the purity of the material, and the recent production had indeed been too large, it would have been impossible to reduce the price of such a strong material. "

Hearing this, Zhang Deming checked the materials for a moment and said, "Leave it there. I'll let you know when I've tested it later."

Qin Shizhong nodded, and the two chatted for a while before Qin Shizhong left in a hurry.

Zhang Deming frowned slightly as he looked at the various oracle bones with metallic spots in front of him.

Such materials are somewhat impure, which may greatly affect the refining process.

However, the spirituality has been enhanced due to mutation. In fact, it should be a good thing for Zhang Deming's spiritual cultivation technique.

However, when we entered the back mountain before, the condition of the back mountain looked a bit serious.

Nowadays, even the sect's sexual tasks are sent to the outer sect, and the 'skin disease' of the back mountain monster seems to be a little out of control.

However, this doesn't seem to matter to him?

He is just a humble guy who just made a breakthrough, just an intermediate apprentice.

He stuffed all the materials into the storage bag. After half a year and many cooperations, Qin Shizhong was given almost exactly one bag of materials every time he checked out.

It was getting late, and Zhang Deming found some materials.

Nowadays, with Rank One's magic, he can squander his spiritual power for half a day.

Even with the high-consuming spirit-nurturing technique, just making Rank One spirit-nurturing beads is enough to do it dozens of times.

After using up all his spiritual power, he produced a dozen spirit-nurturing beads. Even in Qingyou Pond, the recovery of his magic power was a bit slow.

Forget it, if you want to completely downplay your true identity, then just open a trumpet in Tianling City.

Having an idea, Zhang Deming tidied up the house. It was already dark and he did not leave immediately.

Zhang Deming got some food and quietly enjoyed the comfort under the starry sky in the small courtyard.

Early the next morning, Zhang Deming exchanged a few words with Zong En and left Qingyoutan.

In the past six months, Zhang Deming has often been invisible, and Zong En has become accustomed to it.

In addition, Zhang Deming pretends to be an outer disciple and enjoys the treatment of being a steward without having to bear the responsibility of being a steward.

Therefore, in Qingyoutan, there would be no problem at all with or without him.

After arriving at Tianling City, I discovered an obvious difference. The movements of Heavenly Spirit Sect are the most intuitive experience here.

The entire Tianling City was more lively than before.

Especially the trading of various materials is quite hot.

After Zhang Deming made some inquiries, he discovered that Heavenly Spirit Sect's movements were unusually large this time.

Not only did the outer sects be mobilized, but sect-like tasks were also issued.

The surrounding cultivating families also allocated areas and arranged certain indicators.

The subordinate sects also formed a coalition and began to mobilize following the example of the Heavenly Spirit Sect.

It seems that Heavenly Spirit Sect is not only aware of the danger, but has also been frustrated by it for more than a year.

I plan to carry out a large-scale purge and push it directly.

It can be said that the current intensity is the greatest intensity in daily door-to-door visits.

If it is further strengthened, it will take war mobilization to catch up.

Without the outbreak of the beast tide, it is impossible to mobilize for war, so this can be regarded as the strongest mobilization.

Zhang Deming can imagine how lively the Hengduan Mountains have been recently.

Because Zhang Deming walked around and found that several apprentice-level Independent Cultivator teams were discussing the matter of going deep into the back mountain.

Not only did I go, but I also gained something.

Usually, if you don't have the strength to apprentice an Independent Cultivator and go deep into the Hengduan Mountains, it will be courting death. But now, because of the large number of people, it is much safer.

The move of Heavenly Spirit Sect is effective, but it hurts the Hengduan Mountains.

······

With the popularity of Tianling City, the prices of many things have increased to a certain extent, but the prices of materials have dropped.

Many Independent Cultivators were very resentful and kept complaining that the Zongmen and Family Store sucked their blood and took the opportunity to make a fortune.

Because of this, the hot Tianling City has not been so peaceful recently.

Zhang Deming shook his head, he didn't care much about such things.

Before returning to Cave Mansion, a contact signal came from the spirit cultivation space.

At present, it seems that only Qu Qizhong has contact information?

Zhang Deming entered the spirit cultivation space, and the light spot in Qu Qi kept flickering.

Zhang Deming waved his hand, and the dot of light flew in front of him. Tap the dot of light, and a passage appeared.

In an instant, Qu Qizhong appeared in front of him in a trance.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Deming asked.

"Guan Zhang, Yu Lingzhu is so hot recently, the four daily shares are sold out in a blink of an eye.

Now the price has increased to eleven spirit stones each, and it is still the same.

The little one wanted to ask if he could take advantage of this wind and get more Yulingzhu. "Qu Qizhong looked at Zhang Deming and said.

Zhang Deming paused slightly when he heard this.

Now that he is practicing Tai Chi, if he rushes to work with all his strength, relying on his success rate and spiritual power recovery speed, it shouldn't be too easy to do ten or twenty a day.

However, due to the inexplicable attitude of Heavenly Spirit Sect after the last incident, no one has contacted him.

That's why he only sells about 100 pieces per month, just because he is afraid that the production will exceed the standard and cause some accidents.

Now it's not that he doesn't know anything about nurturing spirits. After half a year's hard work, he already has a certain understanding of nurturing spirits.

A junior, a spirit-cultivator who has just started cultivating spirits, even if he is a master of Liangyi, it is only at this level.

What limited him was not spiritual power, but the success rate of spells.

The quality of the production of the spirit cultivation beads is determined by the spirit cultivation master himself, and his perception of the corresponding spell input, but the success rate is affected by the spirit cultivation itself.

Not everyone, like him, is proficient at the beginning, and now he has been promoted to Rank Three.

His current spirit cultivation technique can be said to have entered the hall, and it has this effect.

What's more, Nurturing Spirituality is still the core of his basic runes, which strengthens a lot of effects.

Many spiritual trainers in the third talent period do not have the attainments of Zhang Deming.

If it weren't for the fear of attracting attention and breaking this rare stability, Zhang Deming could even make Rank Three's boutique Yuling Beads for sale.

Zhang Deming thought about the pros and cons for a long time, and said, "Add a little bit, I will allocate 150 shares for you a month, how to sell it is up to you."

"Okay, steward." Qu Qizhong replied.

Zhang Deming asked: "Is there anything else?"

Qu Qizhong shook his head and said, "No more."

Zhang Deming said: "Let's do it this way, by the way, I almost forgot, the store sales will be adjusted.

I don’t care how you set the rules, the effect I want is to sell more to Independent Cultivators at the same price, and stop tilting towards the Maison. "

When Qu Qizhong heard this, he was slightly startled, looked at Zhang Deming, and said hesitantly: "Manager Zhang, it will be better for the development of our store to lean towards people like the Shijia."

Zhang Deming nodded and said: "I know these, just do as I tell you."

Although Zhang Deming is not in business, he doesn’t understand the basic principles of network and so on?

He had known this before and had defaulted to this situation.

Why bring it up now?

Because he is so lacking in merit, he urgently needs the merit to open the mount slot to improve his strength.

Six to seven hundred spirit-nurturing beads were sold in half a year. The probability of success is at least 40%, and the success is around two hundred, right?

But he only got more than a hundred pictures. Why?

It is because of the spirit-nurturing beads that most of them are sold to aristocratic families.

These beads will not be used immediately. Many of them are regarded as treasures and collected as rewards in the future.

As a result, Zhang Deming's merit and luck income are about half and half compared to the actual sales of soul-nurturing beads.

I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I am very short of merit, and cultivating the Lingzhu for enlightenment is Zhang Deming's only stable merit income, so I made such an adjustment.

Qu Qizhong saw that Zhang Deming knew the secret, and he still wanted to do this.

Since he didn't know what the steward's intentions were, he didn't say much.

After Zhang Deming finished speaking, he waved Qu Qizhong and threw him back.

Zhang Deming left the Spiritual Education Space and walked around Tianling City before opening the editor and doing some disguises.

With the previously set appearance of Zhang Wu, he appeared in Dongcheng Lingmai and rented a two-star Cave Mansion again.

Because Qu Qizhong agreed to add half the quantity, he needed to catch up on some work.

For several days, Zhang Deming finished the materials. Yulingzhu would have enough for next month, and then got another batch of materials, but Zhang Deming did not work overtime to catch up.

He doesn't usually carry many things with him, so the three or four cubic meters of storage bag has enough free space to store materials, so he can make spirit-nurturing beads at any time.

Because of the birth of Shenghua Jade Demon Teng, Zhang Deming's life-long breakthrough in Tai Chi's runic magic has already begun to take shape.

So he completely calmed down and planned to wait until he was born in Tai Chi before talking about the trumpet coming out to cause trouble.

During this period, you can show up occasionally and let the trumpet quietly mix out some traces.

It won't be as if it suddenly appeared out of nowhere later.

Therefore, Zhang Deming goes out to hang out almost every few days.

As the largest city of practitioners in the surrounding area, Tianling City still has a lot of Tai Chi monks.

It took Zhang Deming nearly half a month to get into the circle as a Ling Nong Independent Cultivator.

This is a semi-regular small gathering organized by a few peak Tai Chi monks.

Most of them are Tai Chi monks, and the occasional few peak apprentices all have certain backgrounds or corresponding potential.

The party was held in the form of a trade fair. Every time Zhang Deming went there, he almost watched the whole process, just looking familiar.

But today, a piece of information attracted Zhang Deming's attention.

In the entire gathering today, there were only three apprentices present, and the other two did not speak as they took turns trading.

A man named Guan Zhenxiang suddenly interrupted, attracting the attention of many people.

"I have information about a relic and need to find a senior to cooperate with. If you are interested, you can contact me." Guan Zhenxiang suddenly said during the turn of speeches at the beginning of the party.

After that, he threw out an extremely simple message and put it on the party screen.

"What kind of ruins?" A Tai Chi monk asked, flipping through the rudimentary information.

"I'm not sure. I can only confirm that it should be a relic from six or seven thousand years ago. The other information is not very clear." Guan Zhenxiang replied.

"Don't know what type it is?"

Guan Zhenxiang nodded: "Yes!"

"Then where do you have the confidence to come here to find someone?" Many people shook their heads and stopped asking.

The exchange continued, and several people beside him quietly asked Guan Zhenxiang a few more questions, and finally shook their heads.

If he were a Tai Chi monk, he might be able to attract the attention of some of them.

An apprentice is ignorant of everything, and no one has the desire to inquire in detail. If it is not kept in full, it is just like a ruin that the apprentices are picking up rubbish.

Zhang Deming's expression changed. He looked at the architectural styles that appeared in the information, and he was quite looking forward to the ruins.

After the last incident, Zhang Deming conducted a detailed investigation into the origin of the broken secret realm in the past six months.

From historical records, to humanistic styles, and even architectural styles.

Zhang Deming slightly guessed that the broken secret realm was most likely a Grotto-Heaven fragment.

According to records, thousands of years ago, a blessed land - the Five Elements Blessed Land - fell in the Hengduan Mountains.

And ‘Turtle Water’ is the secret realm of water, Grotto-Heaven, among the Five Elements Blessed Lands.

This person named Guan Zhenxiang, the information he produced can be said to be very simple, but there is a bit of architecture on it, and the style is exactly the same as before.

Therefore, when the turn of speaking at the beginning of the party was over and the free trading stage entered, Zhang Deming quietly came to Guan Zhenxiang and whispered: "Are you sure there are real ruins?"

Guan Zhenxiang nodded and said: "This junior is very sure, but because he has never been in, he has not obtained relevant information, so he is not sure about the situation.

It is precisely because of this that the junior wants to find a senior to accompany him to be safer. After all, it is already a relic of the ancient cultivator. "

Hearing this, Zhang Deming pondered for a moment, feeling that this statement was still a bit forced.

Find a stranger to explore the ruins, or a senior, what if you find a treasure?

But because of the architectural style, he was indeed attracted, so Zhang Deming continued to ask: "Then how are you sure?"

Guan Zhenxiang replied: "I know the entrance to the ruins and the key."

Hearing this, Zhang Deming's eyes lit up, and he said, "Can you show me?"

Guan Zhenxiang fell into hesitation, Zhang Deming said: "Why, are you afraid I will swallow it?"

Guan Zhenxiang shook his head and said, "No, because I didn't bring this important thing with me, why don't seniors go get it with me?"

ha?

you

Why does it feel like I'm fishing?

Anyway, we are also modern and promising young people. You are even inferior to the way of "immortal dance". Do I look so stupid?

Zhang Deming glanced at Guan Zhenxiang, suddenly stopped talking, turned around and left.

Guan Zhenxiang froze, not knowing what went wrong.

A small episode did not affect Zhang Deming's spirit for long.

I was just curious. Now that I have the feeling of fishing and the other party dares to fish for Tai Chi as an apprentice, Zhang Deming doesn't intend to try it.

Regardless of whether he thinks too much on his own, at present he just wants to hang on and doesn't intend to get involved.

Left the party, returned to Cave Mansion, and continued to hang out.

······

It's been a few more days, and it's been more than half a month since I came to Tianling City, and the Zongmen still needs to take a chance.

So Zhang Deming directly left Tianling City and headed towards the sect.

But just halfway, Zhang Deming frowned slightly, and stopped suddenly.

His eyes flickered, and after investigating for a long time, he looked in a direction behind him and said:

"This Fellow Daoist, you followed all the way, why don't you come out and chat?

Or, are you planning to just escort me all the way? "

Zhang Deming's words were floating on the empty road, and no one answered him, as if he was talking to himself.

Zhang Deming frowned slightly, and turned around suddenly, instead of moving forward, he lowered his head towards Tianling City.

"After squatting for more than half a month, you haven't been able to go out once, and you can't catch fish.

I finally got out of the house, but I haven't said hello yet, so why are you planning to go back? "

Zhang Deming had just set out when a figure came towards him and said calmly.

Zhang Deming stopped and looked at the other person. When he saw his face clearly, Zhang Deming was slightly startled.

Wasn't this a few days ago, when he teased himself and said he saw the ruins and wanted to take him to see that one?

Zhang Deming frowned slightly and looked at the other person. He was in his twenties and had a somewhat androgynous appearance.

At this moment, he walked forward with a faint smile.

It looks a bit evil, no, it should be evil.

Under Zhang Deming's alert, Guan Zhenxiang stopped at a safe distance.

Looking at Zhang Deming, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I haven't formally met you yet. My name is Guan Zhenxiang."

Zhang Deming paused. The moment the other person smiled, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him had become so handsome and kind, and he really wanted to be a 'friend' with him.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Deming. You can call me Mingzi or Brother Ming. Brother, it's nice to meet you."

Zhang Deming suddenly stepped forward with uncharacteristic enthusiasm, grabbed Guan Zhenxiang's hand with both hands, and squeezed it back and forth.

Guan Zhenxiang's face twitched, but he did not take out his hand, letting Zhang Deming rub it back and forth, and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you!"

"Brother, your hands are really...soft...huh..."

Zhang Deming squeezed Guan Zhenxiang's hand, and his eyes became more and more weird, tending to move in the direction of Brother Zhu.

At this time, the spiritual shield rune in the body suddenly vibrated, and the expressions of Guan Zhenxiang and Zhang Deming, who were about to continue talking, changed at the same time.

Before Zhang Deming's face turned completely like Brother Zhu, his face suddenly changed. His entire face turned completely dark, making it extremely difficult to see.

‘Charming: Ruyan! '

‘Vine: Thorn! '

The two of them started almost at the same time. Zhang Deming held each other's hand. After the script vibrated, he didn't let go immediately when he woke up. Instead, he tightened his grip and grabbed the other's hand tightly.

Dense emerald vine spikes sprouted from his entire front, just like the back of a hedgehog.

Each one shone with cold light, like steel needles, instantly piercing Guan Zhenxiang in front of him.

In particular, Zhang Deming took special care of the opponent's palm that he grasped with both hands.

The emerald-like spikes instantly pierced Guan Zhenxiang, turning him into a hedgehog.

Before Zhang Deming could breathe a sigh of relief, Guan Zhenxiang's entire body turned into pink smoke and dispersed.

Zhang Deming's mind moved, and the spiritual shield directly enveloped him.

The pink smoke did not envelope him as Zhang Deming expected. Instead, it drifted backwards for a distance and condensed into a human shape again.
