Chapter 222 The black-hearted Ling Pengliang controls Zhu Wen (3400, please subscribe)

Half a month passed.

This day.

In Lingxiao Mountain, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance came to the General Affairs Hall.

"Acting Grand Elder" Ling Pengliang, who was standing at the counter of the General Affairs Hall, saw this person arriving, his expression moved slightly and he said politely.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, when you come this time, you will refine the batches of demon beast skins in the early and middle stages of Qi training that I gave you three days ago into the first- and middle-grade blank talisman papers."

This honest and honest middle-aged man named Zhu was Zhu Wen who was captured alive by Ling Pengyun nine years ago and kidnapped back to the Ling family.

During these nine years, Zhu Wen has been imprisoned in Lingxiao Mountain, spending eight of the twelve hours a day refining blank talisman paper for the Ling family.

Under such high-intensity refining of blank runes, he could only refine first-level low-grade blank runes when he first entered the mountain.

But as time goes by, more and more blank talisman papers are refined, and he has understood the art of refining blank talisman papers to the second level. Now he can refine first-level mid-grade blank talisman papers.

Of course, the Ling family did not suppress him too much, and would give Zhu Wen two spiritual stones and five kilograms of yellow jade spiritual rice as a reward every month.

During these nine years as a coolie, Zhu Wen also tried to escape from Lingxiao Mountain.

But even if Zhu Wen escaped the gaze of the Ling cultivator who was monitoring him and successfully left the range of Lingxiao Mountain, he was unexpectedly locked by the second-level formation in the mountain. As a result, once he left the range of Lingxiao Mountain, he did not dare to move at all. Once he moved, , he will definitely be killed by the formation.

He was originally afraid of death and had no powerful defensive treasures on him, so he was naturally captured alive by the Ling family and brought back to Lingxiao Mountain.

Gradually, he accepted his fate and settled down in Lingxiao Mountain with peace of mind.

After all, he also knew that the Ling family valued his skills in refining blank talismans and would not kill him.

Under such circumstances, being in Lingxiao Mountain is actually a bit safer than he is in the outside world, but the amount of spiritual stones earned is much less.

"It's natural. If I hadn't refined all the monster skins into blank talisman papers, how could I dare to come to this general affairs hall."

"The storage bag contains the batch of blank talisman papers for this company." Zhu Wen took out a bulging storage bag from his arms with a hint of resentment and handed it to Ling Peng.

Ling Pengliang didn't react at all when he heard these words. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.

After all, anyone who is arrested alive and has to work hard for nine years with a low salary will not have any objections.

Ling Pengliang reached out and took the storage bag from Zhu Wen, pouring his spiritual consciousness into it.

After checking the number of blank talisman papers in it, he saw that the number was correct, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

"The quantity is correct. Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Zhu."

Ling Pengliang smiled, picked up a storage bag that had been prepared from the corner of the counter, and handed it to Zhu Wendao.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, as usual, there are ten monster animal skins in the early and middle stages of Qi training in this storage bag. In three days, you need to refine a hundred blank first-level and mid-level talisman papers respectively."

"I know." Zhu Wenshen reached out and took the storage bag that was handed to him, and said helplessly.

Although he was dissatisfied with Ling's use of him as a coolie, he did not dare to show it too much. After all, he still had to eat from Ling's family.

The year he was first captured in Lingxiao Mountain, he just retorted dissatisfiedly, but as a result, he spent half a year refining blank talisman paper for the Ling family without any salary.

The lack of spiritual support also led to the slow progress of his cultivation in those six months.

After taking the storage bag, Zhu Wen did not stay in the General Affairs Hall for long. He turned around and left the General Affairs Hall directly, heading towards the courtyard where he lived in Lingxiao Mountain.

Ling Pengliang, who was in the General Affairs Hall, was lost in thought while looking at Zhu Wen's back.

"This Zhu Wen is indeed a talented person. It would be a pity if he is only used to refine blank talisman paper."

"Especially during this period of monster chaos."

Ling Pengliang sighed secretly and his expression brightened.

He closed the door of the general affairs hall, quickly went up to the top of the mountain, rang the bronze conference bell on the top of the mountain, and called the fifth elder Ling Yunxi and the supreme elder Ling Pengyun into the conference hall to discuss matters.

The other senior family members are not in the clan.

Inside the meeting hall.

Ling Pengyun, who was sitting on the main seat, asked Ling Pengliang with doubts.

"Sixteenth Brother, you summoned me to the meeting hall this time. What do you mean?"

"Bago, fifteenth aunt, please tell me in detail." Ling Pengliang first called out to Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunxi, and then explained.

"Nowadays, due to the large number of monster skins obtained from killing the monsters that broke into the territory half a month ago, the clan has many low-grade and medium-grade blank talismans in the clan."

"There is only the Eighteenth Patriarch, a first-level mid-level talisman maker, in the clan. It is impossible for the Eighteenth Patriarch alone to refine the large number of blank talisman papers into spiritual talismans and hand them over to the clan members for self-defense. To prevent another group of monsters from breaking into the family territory and causing trouble during this period of monster chaos.”

"In this case, I have an idea."

"I plan to entrust the talisman maker named Zhu Wen, who was captured alive by Brother Ba nine years ago and brought back to the Clan Mountain, to refine the first-order low-grade spiritual talisman for the family, while the eighteenth ancestor will work hard to refine the first-order mid-grade spiritual talisman."

"With the combined efforts of the two, the family's large number of first-level and mid-level blank talisman papers can be quickly turned into spiritual talismans, thereby increasing the clan's combat power."

The eighteenth grandfather that Ling Pengliang talks about is Ling Yunming, who is the eighteenth in the Yunzi generation. He is also the father of Ling Dong, the head of Qingshi Village.

Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunxi frowned when they heard this.

After a while, Ling Pengyun said.

"Brother Sixteen, although your idea is good, Zhu Wen used to be an evil cultivator who specialized in interception and killing, and he had a very vicious heart. Moreover, he was captured alive by me and brought back to the family."

"He has been imprisoned in the Clan Mountain for these years, refining blank talisman paper for the family every day. He must have resentment in his heart."

"Once the family provides blank talisman paper and asks him to help refine the talismans, he will definitely be able to hide a lot of talismans secretly."

"Under such circumstances, if this person becomes more ferocious in the future, relying on the secret talisman and his fifth level of Qi training to directly attack our Ling clan members in the mountains, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties. "

Ling Pengliang said with a smile. "I have already thought about this situation. There is still a first-level low-grade tracking array available in the family library, as well as several kinds of spiritual materials for refining the imaging array."

"With those spiritual materials, and according to the skills of the fifteenth aunt's formation, it is nine out of ten that we can refine a first-level mid-grade imaging formation."

"Once the imaging formation is refined, we can completely place the two formations of the Lost Traces Formation and the Photographing Formation around the courtyard where Zhu Wen lives."

"The Mysterious Array transformed into a psychedelic cloud and mist that enveloped the place where he lived, acting as a special early warning restriction."

"After all, even though Zhu Wen has the fifth level of Qi training, he can force his way out of the mysterious formation. But according to his cultivation, once he breaks through the formation, it will definitely be triggered."

"As for the photo array, it is used for surveillance, to monitor the number of spiritual talismans that Zhu Wen refines, and to ensure that he does not hide the spiritual talismans secretly."

After Ling Pengyun heard Ling Pengliang's idea, he felt that Ling Pengliang's proposal was feasible, and he couldn't help but think highly of Ling Pengliang.

"If this is the case, this method is indeed feasible. However, imprisoning Zhu Wen in the courtyard and restricting his freedom may cause Zhu Wen to be extremely resentful."

"It appeared that during the process of refining the talisman for his family, he deliberately failed to refine the talisman, resulting in a very low success rate of refining the talisman."

"As long as the family imposes the success rate of refining the spiritual talisman on Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen is very frightened to death, so I don't think he dares to deliberately fail to refine the spiritual talisman." Ling Pengliang had a joking look on his face, and his tone was slightly playful.

After hearing this, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunxi, who were both in the meeting hall, both believed at this moment that the black-hearted Ling Pengliang was indeed the most suitable person to be the elder of the family.

"Sixteenth Brother, don't push Zhu Wen too hard, give him some benefits." Ling Pengyun warned Ling Pengyun because he was afraid that Ling Pengliang would squeeze Zhu Wen too hard.

"Bago, I understand that only by putting in a long line can you catch big fish." Ling Pengliang was in a good mood when he saw Ling Pengyun agreeing. He smiled, turned to look at Ling Yunxi, and said.

"Aunt Fifteen, you will have to work harder to refine the photo array."

"There is no hard work to be said. It is my duty to refine the formation for the family. Within three days, I will refine the first-order mid-grade imaging formation." Ling Yunxi replied.

"Okay, the matter is over, I won't say more about it. Taking advantage of this opportunity that everyone is gathering together, eighth brother, please tell me and my fifteenth aunt about the current situation of the family." Ling Pengyun said to the representative. Great Elder Ling Peng said coldly.

After hearing this, Ling Pengliang didn't delay too much. He told Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunxi in detail about the current situation of the family, and then gave them the list of various spiritual creatures and account books in the clan for them to check.

Once these things are finished, this discussion will be over.

Three days later.

General Affairs Hall.

On this day, Zhu Wen, who received the Ling family's commission three days ago to refine blank talisman paper from monster animal skins, came to the General Affairs Hall again and handed the blank talisman paper that he had refined for nearly three days to Ling Pengliang.

But this time, Ling Pengliang did not give him a batch of monster skins and let him go as usual, but instead told him in detail that the Ling family planned to entrust him with refining a first-level low-grade spiritual talisman.

Zhu Wen is naturally willing to refine the magic talisman.

After all, the success rate of refining the magic talismans cannot be controlled. He might even be able to hide a few magic talismans for self-defense.

But when he learned that the Ling family would use the Mystery Trace and the Shadow Formation to restrict his freedom and monitor his success rate in drawing the talisman, he immediately rejected Ling Pengliang's proposal.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, don't refuse this matter in a hurry. You might as well first listen to the reward you can get for refining the magic talisman for my Ling family." Ling Pengliang saw Zhu Wen leave angrily and was not in a hurry. Instead, he said with a smile. .

"Then let's talk about it." When Zhu Wen heard this, he was a little curious and said.

"In the future, you need to refine one hundred first-level low-grade fireball talismans that you are good at every month for my Ling family, and the success rate of refining this talisman should not be less than 30%."

"And your salary will also be increased to five spiritual stones and ten pounds of yellow jade spiritual rice per month."

"If you can refine more fireball talismans, the calculation will be based on the method of refining twenty more fireball talismans to get an extra spiritual stone."

"At the same time, when your cultivation reaches the sixth level of Qi training, I, the Ling family, can provide you with a first-class top-grade Miasma Breaking Pill that is difficult to find in the outside world for free, to help you break through the bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi training and step into Late stage of Qi training.”

"In addition to these, I, the Ling family's first-level and mid-level spiritual talisman inheritance, can also open it to you."

"By the way, if I'm right, the technique practiced by fellow Taoist Zhu should be the most common Fire Spirit Technique on the market. The progress of practicing this technique can be extremely slow."

"I, the Ling family, can provide you with the operation routes of the first seven levels of the superior fire technique "Fire Fire Technique", which is enough for you to reach the seventh level of the Qi training stage."

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, I wonder if you are still satisfied with this condition?" Ling Peng said with a smile.

"Is what Fellow Daoist Ling said true?" Zhu Wen's eyes widened when he heard the reward Ling Pengliang said.

Ling Pengliang entrusted him to refine the talisman. Although the monthly salary he gave was not much, the Miasma-Breaking Pill, the talisman inheritance, and the Fiery Fire Art were all treasures.

The Miasma-Breaking Pill, the talisman inheritance, and the Fiery Fire Art were extremely rare in the outside world. Once they appeared, they would be robbed by cultivators. They were priceless.

The Miasma-Breaking Pill could help him break through to a higher level of cultivation.

The inheritance could help him be more smooth in the talisman.

The technique could help him practice faster, and his strength would far exceed that of ordinary cultivators.

With these three generous conditions in front of him, Zhu Wen was quite tempted.
