From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS

499 Chapter 499-too few in quantity

He walked into his own courtyard.

Qin shujian was the first to sit down. He then looked at Ning Zheng, who was standing at the side, and said, “”No need to be so formal, sit down.”

“Eh, thank you, sect master!”

Ning Meng was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses and sat down timidly.

Everything in the courtyard seemed ordinary.

But it gave him a very different feeling.

Not to mention anything else.

Just breathing in the surrounding air made him feel as if all the pores in his body had not opened up, and even his fatigue had disappeared.

After sitting down, ning Meng’s body was still tense. Although he tried to calm himself down, he could still see the tension in his expression.

In this regard.

Qin shujian didn’t say anything more about this.

His gaze fell on Ning Zheng, and everything about the other party was exposed.

His meridians were blocked.

The root bone was set.

There was still evil Qi hidden in his meridians, as if he was born with it.

When he saw this.

A look of surprise also appeared on Qin shujian’s face.

“An innate baleful Qi?”

“Could this be the special physique that old man Gong mingze was talking about?”

After that, he observed ning Meng inside and out a few times.

He found that other than that, there was nothing else about the other party’s body.

The murderous aura was hidden in his body.

He couldn’t see anything in the short term.

However, as she grew older and older, if her baleful Qi exploded, Ning Zheng would be crippled if not dead.

However, these problems were not a big problem for Qin shujian.

He was born with a murderous aura.

The source was within the body.

He just had to find a way to remove it.

Although he had this thought, his expression didn’t change.

He poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said with a faint smile, there’s some boiled water here. If you want to drink it, you can pour it yourself. Cultivators can drink this spirit tea, but mortals can’t.

There was an abundant amount of spiritual energy in the spiritual energy.

For a person like ning Meng, whose meridians were blocked, it would be a light injury to say that she was bleeding from her seven orifices.

If it was serious, his body might even explode.

“No, no need.”

Ning Meng stuttered.

Qin shujian didn’t force her and continued, “”Take out the token I gave you back then.”

Upon hearing this.

Ning Meng took out a cloth bag from her bosom and carefully opened it, revealing the token inside.

“Please take a look, sect master.”

As he spoke, he handed over the token with both hands.

Qin shujian’s will moved, and the token flew from Ning Zheng’s hand and landed in his.

The next second.

The token disappeared.

since you’re here as promised, you’re a disciple of my sect. I’ll fight for a chance for you to cultivate. If you can break through to the true martial realm within a year and win first place in next year’s disciple competition, I’ll take you in as my disciple.

If you can’t, then you’ll still be a disciple of our sect.

However, how far you can go in the future is entirely up to you, and has nothing to do with me. ”

Qin shujian said in a deep voice.

To break through to the true martial realm in a year was to see if the other party’s aptitude had met the high-grade requirements after the marrow cleansing and bone transformation.

If it was indeed unpromising, then he wouldn’t care too much.

After all, he was a Deva. If he wanted to take in a disciple, he had to be a genius. Otherwise, he would lose face.

As for the first place in the disciple competition, it was to test the other party’s strength.

A mere empty realm was not of much use.

There were only three conditions for Qin shujian to take in a disciple.

One was extremely lucky, or else he would die from a fall outside, which was extremely disgusting.

...

The other had to have a good root bone. Otherwise, a true martial realm cultivator would have to waste a hundred years. Even if he could kill a divine martial realm cultivator, it would be useless.

After all, the lifespan of a true martial realm expert was over a hundred years. If you were so powerful that you could ascend to the heavens, you would still have to die when your lifespan was up.

He didn’t want to take in a disciple who would die in a few years.

The third point was simple.

Geniuses didn’t challenge those of a higher realm, but at least they wouldn’t be challenged by others of a higher realm.

It would be a huge joke if he was killed by a true martial after cultivating to the spiritual martial divine martial realm.

Even if he wasn’t killed by the true martial, if he was killed by someone of a lower realm, he would lose face.

&Nbsp; so,

None of the three could be missing.

There was almost no one in the sky origin sect who fulfilled the three conditions.

Those who had high combat strength but average aptitude were destined to have no hope of breaking through to the Deva realm in the future.

...

They either had high aptitudes, but their combat strength was really bad, and their temperament was not up to standard. In the future, they would still be useless.

Or, they were both good, but their luck was really bad.

In short, there were all kinds of people.

However, none of them had all three.

Right now, in Qin shujian’s eyes, Ning Zheng had already fulfilled the first requirement, which was that his luck was sufficiently strong.

As for the remaining two, it would all depend on the other party’s luck.

Ning Meng’s expression was solemn as she respectfully replied, “”Don’t worry, sect master. I will do my best and not let you down.”

He had taken Qin shujian as his master.

This was his biggest goal after knowing the other party’s identity.

Even if he had never set foot in the cultivation world, he could tell from Gong mingze that the other party was a more powerful existence than Gong mingze.

As for how strong Gong mingze was ...

Anyway, along the way, any trouble in front of the other party was solved with a wave of the hand.

He was extremely powerful.

This was the first time in his life.

yes, you can go and rest for a while. Our sect has its own rules. Anyone who has just entered the sect can only start as an outer sect disciple. In the end, Qin shujian said one sentence and immediately started to chase them away.

In this regard.

Ning Meng immediately stood up, bowed and said, “”Disciple will take his leave first.”

He then turned around and left the courtyard.

When he walked out, a middle-aged man was waiting there.

“You must be the new outer sect disciple. My name is Jia He, and I am currently an inner sect Deacon.” As he spoke, Jia He walked forward, “”Follow me!”

“Yes.”

They followed Qin shujian’s instructions.

Jia He brought Ning Zheng in the direction of the outer sect disciples.

Along the way.

Jia He was also silently observing him.

The Ning Ying in front of him looked like an ordinary person. Clothes were secondary, but the problem was that her root bone had formed and her meridians were blocked. Anyone with good eyesight could see these things.

Ordinary people like this could be easily found outside.

He didn’t understand why Qin shujian would think so highly of Ning Zheng.

However, it didn’t matter if he didn’t understand.

He only needed to know that the other party was someone that the sect master valued. In the future, it would not be wrong to be more polite.

Thinking of this ...

“I still don’t know how to address you, little brother?” Jia He laughed.

“This kid’s name is Ning Zheng.”

“Ning Zheng, that’s a good name. If you encounter any trouble in the outer sect in the future, you can come to me at any time. If I can help you, I’ll do my best to help you.”

Jia He said.

When ning Meng heard this, she replied gratefully, “”Thank you, Deacon Jia. If I have any achievements in the future, I will definitely not forget you.”

haha, what are you saying? you’re treating me as an outsider by saying this.

Jia He was in a good mood.

Wasn’t this what he needed?

Even if this was just a casual sentence from Ning Zheng, when it really came to that step in the future, there would still be some face to speak of.

However-

Whether or not Ning Zheng had any hope of being accepted as Qin shujian’s disciple was still an unknown.

If she had been accepted as Qin shujian’s disciple, why would she have started as an outer sect disciple?

In Jia He’s opinion, this should be a test.

to be honest, the standard for recruiting disciples is 16 years old and below. It’s rare to see someone of little brother ning’s age.

At this point, Jia He sighed.

“After all, once you pass this age, your root bone will be fixed, and some meridians will gradually close. Even if you start cultivating in the future, you’ll have to spend a lot of time to sort out and open them again.

A person’s life is only a few hundred years, so how can we have so much time to waste?”

Finished speaking.

He was paying attention to ning Meng’s expression.

However, to Jia He’s disappointment, Ning Zheng’s expression did not change much from the beginning to the end. He did not show any signs of panic because of his words.

For a moment.

He had more guesses in his mind.

Next.

Jia He didn’t want to say too much. He followed Qin shujian’s instructions and brought Ning Zheng to the place where the outer sect disciples were staying. He then gave some instructions to the outer sect Deacon in charge of managing the place before he turned around and left.

On the other side.

On the other hand, Qin shujian continued to sit there and drink from his cup.

Those who didn’t know better would think that he was drinking wine and not tea.

After he finished drinking.

He smacked his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Logically speaking, the grade of the Osmanthus produced by the Osmanthus tree was not low, and it contained a lot of spiritual energy.

However, when Qin shujian drank it, the initial sense of novelty had already disappeared. After a long time, it was no different from drinking plain water.

He knew.

This wasn’t because the grade of the spirit tea had dropped, but because his cultivation level was getting higher and higher.

With the little spiritual energy contained in the spiritual tea, it was not of much use.

Unless ... It was a higher grade spiritual tea.

He looked at the Osmanthus tree.

Qin shujian shook his head. If he wanted to obtain a higher grade of spiritual tea, he would have to make another breakthrough with the Osmanthus tree in front of him.

However, the cultivation of plant sprites was the slowest.

It was not easy for him to grow to this stage in just a few years.

If he wanted to improve on his original foundation, even if the time required was short, it was not something that could be completed immediately.

The next day.

In Liangshan city.

After Xiao Hong received the message from Yuan Zong, he immediately rushed over.

It was not his first time at Mount Liang, so he was a frequent visitor to Yuan sect.

Therefore, the moment they arrived at Mount Liang.

Xiao Hong walked into Yuan sect with great familiarity.

On the way, he met Niu Feng, who had come to pick him up.

He saw Xiao Hong.

Niu Feng smiled. steward Xiao, you’ve come at the right time. The sect leader is already waiting for you at Chengwu Hall. Quick, come with me.

“Elder Niu, please lead the way.”

“Please!”

“Please!”

..

Niu Feng and Xiao Hong walked toward Cheng Wu Hall one after another.

Although they couldn’t fly in the sect, with their cultivation, they could do a simplified version of spatial bending.

It didn’t take him much time to arrive at Cheng Wu Hall.

Niu Feng took a step forward and walked in. When he saw Qin shujian, who was seated at the main seat, he cupped his hands and said, ” sect master, Xiao Hong, the steward of Marquis northcloud’s residence, is already waiting outside the hall.

“Let him in,”

Qin shujian said calmly.

He had sensed Xiao Hong the moment he entered the territory of Yuan sect.

A Deva-level cultivator.

Even without deliberately spreading out his divine sense, he could sense every movement within a hundred miles.

However, there were many times.

Qin shujian would block out his own senses.

After all, knowing too much about certain things wasn’t something to be happy about.

But sometimes, when his perception seeped out, it just seeped out, and he couldn’t be bothered with it.

Niu Feng obeyed and left.

Very quickly.

Xiao Hong walked in. The moment he saw Qin shujian, he immediately bowed and greeted him, “”Xiao Hong greets sect master Qin!”

“Steward Xiao, there’s no need to be so polite. Please take a seat,”

“Thank you, sect leader Qin!”

Xiao Hong’s attitude was respectful as he sat down on a seat at the side.

Even though he had some friendship with Qin shujian, friendship was friendship, and etiquette was etiquette. The two could not be mixed together.

Moreover ...

In the past, Qin shujian had yet to break through to the Deva realm. As the manager of Marquis northcloud’s residence, he could still talk to him as an equal.

However, as he broke through to the Deva realm ...

Xiao Hong did not dare to be so arrogant.

He had Marquis northcloud’s residence behind him, so he could barely be considered a member of the Imperial court.

Although the people of the Imperial court had high status, they also valued etiquette the most.

Qin shujian did not comment on these matters.

Etiquette.

He didn’t really value it.

As long as one’s fist was big enough, no one would dare to say anything, even if they were rude.

“Manager Xiao, what is the purpose of your visit?”

Qin shujian didn’t dwell on it too much and went straight to the point.

Upon hearing this.

“This old man has come under Marquis northcloud’s orders to seek sect master Qin’s help,” Xiao Hong cupped his hands and said.

As expected!

‘Qin shujian thought to himself.

He knew that Xiao Hong had come because Marquis northcloud was looking for him.

It was needless to say that it was definitely not something good for Marquis North cloud to come looking for him. Moreover, it would not be an easy task.

After all, it wasn’t easy for a powerful being to speak.

Qin shujian’s expression remained calm even though he had this thought in his mind. He asked, “”What is it?”

sect master Qin, you should know that the sinister Devils sealed in the mortal domain and true domain of North cloud Prefecture have all been exterminated. However, there are still some sinister Devils in the spirit domain and the major domains.

Now that the Imperial court was preparing to break the restrictions of heaven and earth a year later, no one knew what would happen when the three continents were connected.

Although the seal on the evil spirit seems to be stable now, it may become the root of a disaster in the future.”

Xiao Hong’s expression was solemn as he spoke.

Lord Marquis’s intention is to get rid of all the hidden dangers in North cloud Manor before the Imperial court breaks through the heaven and earth restriction. That way, even if something unexpected happens, our North cloud Manor will be able to deal with it with all our might.

Marquis northcloud, do you want me to kill the sinister devil? ”

Qin shujian raised his eyebrows.

Kill the demons of the spirit domain?

What kind of joke was this?

They didn’t know that he was only at the first level of the celestial realm. If he released a few Saint realm demons, the North cloud Manor would be in chaos.

Even if they weren’t Saint realm demons.

But even if he was a transcendent, if he wanted to leave, he might not be able to stop him.

Therefore, a thought immediately appeared in Qin shujian’s mind after he heard Xiao Hong’s words.

Marquis northcloud really thinks highly of me.

When Xiao Hong heard this, he quickly explained, ” sect leader Qin, please don’t misunderstand. This time, you’re not the only one who’s going to kill the evil spirit. The Marquis will be joining in to ensure that nothing goes wrong. We’ll completely eliminate the evil spirit.

if that’s the case, Marquis northcloud’s strength alone should be enough to wipe out all the demons in North cloud Prefecture.

Qin shujian said with a faint smile.

Xiao Hong said, “I don’t know much about the Devas. I’m only here on your orders. I’m afraid that sect leader Qin will have to make a trip to Zong yang city to get to the details.

Seeing this.

Qin shujian did not reply immediately.

In his opinion, Marquis North cloud was a mighty figure. Regardless of whether he could kill the demons or not, it was impossible for him to need the help of a first-level celestial being.

To be Frank.

It didn’t matter if he was one more or one less of the powerful beings that could deal with him.

If he wanted to turn the situation around, he was still a little lacking.

in that case, Marquis northcloud should be trying to use my array formation.

could it be that he has the confidence to kill the demon but not the confidence to stop it from escaping? is that why he wants to invite me to help him and use the formation to stop the demon from escaping? ”

A few thoughts appeared in his mind.

In Qin shujian’s opinion, it should be the case.

To tell the truth.

He didn’t really want to take up this matter.

Since he had attacked together with Marquis northcloud, he didn’t have the chance to use the absurd Red Lotus to devour the demons.

He couldn’t reveal this method of the GUI Yuan ancestral code for now.

It would be fine if it was just killing the demons. At most, it would be an additional means to deal with the demon abyss.

However, the method of refining the other party and directly absorbing their energy would definitely cause a great uproar if it was spread.

Moreover ...

Qin shujian wasn’t sure if Marquis northcloud would be tempted by such a temptation.

Would the human Emperor be tempted when the news spread?

If he were one of these people, knowing the existence of such a cultivation method, he would most likely be tempted.

Using these things to test people’s hearts.

To be honest, Qin shujian didn’t have any confidence. He also didn’t have such thoughts.

What if he went overboard?

No matter how big the world was, there might not be a place for him.

He wanted to reject Marquis northcloud, but he remembered that he owed Marquis northcloud’s residence a favor.

Even though he had helped the North cloud Manor Kill many sinister Devils ...

However, Marquis northcloud’s residence did not give them nothing.

The key was that he had also gained a lot of benefits from this.

&Nbsp; so,

The previous matter could only be considered a deal, not a return of favor.

With this thought ...

Marquis northcloud, “Qin shujian said. may I know when you plan to make your move?”

before breaking through the heaven and earth restriction, we have to kill all the evil demons in North cloud Prefecture.

currently, how many sinister Devils are there in the North cloud Prefecture? ”

“Twenty demons!”

Xiao Hong muttered to himself for a moment before giving an accurate answer.

Twenty sinister Devils?

Qin shujian had a surprised expression on his face, and he couldn’t help but ask, ” twenty sinister Devils? that’s a small number!

That’s right.

Compared to the hundreds of sinister Devils in the true Dominion’s mortal domain, there were only 20 sinister Devils in all the spirit domains. This number was really too small.

He had thought that there should be at least a hundred sinister Devils sealed within the North cloud Manor.

Now that he heard Xiao Hong’s words, he realized that there weren’t many demons left in the North cloud Manor.

When Xiao Hong heard this, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.”Sect master Qin, you might not know this, but the spirit domains and large domains we have now have all been formed after thousands of years. They might have sealed many evil demons in the beginning.

But now, after so many years, the seal had broken when it was supposed to break, and the evil spirits had been born when it was supposed to.

Up until now, there were only twenty sinister Devils left in the North cloud Prefecture, and they had only appeared because of the fusion of the other regions.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a single demon.”

Hearing the other party’s words.

Qin shujian finally understood.

The advancement of Mount Liang’s spirit domain had been too fast, causing him to fall into a misconception.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a few thousand years for a region to advance to the spirit domain level. Even tens of thousands of years would be considered light.

As for advancing to a large domain, that was even more so.

How long could a Grandmaster’s array be preserved?

In theory, as long as the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth was endless, it could be preserved for 10000 years or even 100000 years.

However, the truth was not like that.

Not to mention the external factors, just the sealing formation alone was constantly attacking the seal. As time passed, the formation would definitely be damaged.

It was already a blessing that a formation that could have existed for eternity could be preserved for a few hundred years under such circumstances.

Under such circumstances.

They could either send a Grandmaster to fix the formation or let it break.

The other Great Spirit domains had a long history, and the demons sealed within them couldn’t possibly exist forever.

Those sealing formations had also been broken long ago.

As a result.

Qin shujian had once again overturned his original thoughts.

He had thought that the total number of evil spirits sealed in the great Zhao was at least 10000.

But now it seemed that this number had to be reduced by half.

How about this, I still have some matters to attend to recently. I will personally head to Zong yang city a month later. Qin shujian thought about it for a moment before giving a reply.

Twenty sinister Devils.

With Marquis northcloud’s strength, it would not take long for him to kill them one by one.

He didn’t really have anything to do in this one month.

It was just that he was too tired during this period of time and simply wanted to rest.

Upon hearing this.

Xiao Hong calculated in his heart and then nodded. “This old man will definitely convey sect leader Qin’s message. At that time, I will be waiting for sect leader Qin’s arrival in Zong yang city.”

“Alright,” he said.

Qin shujian nodded.

Not long after.

Xiao Hong stood up and left.

When the other party left, Qin shujian used his Dharma eyes to take a look at the other party’s attributes.

Xiao Hong, who was about to step out of Cheng Wu Hall, suddenly froze.

In that instant.

He seemed to feel a terrifying gaze that saw through him thoroughly.

However, this feeling came and went quickly.

Xiao Hong turned around to look at Qin shujian. He realized that Qin shujian was still sitting there without moving. Xiao Hong had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart.

He cupped his hands again and walked out of Cheng Wu Hall.

He had just left Chengwu Hall.

Niu Feng walked up to him and sent him away from Mount Liang.

In the main hall.

Qin shujian recalled the attributes that he had just seen, and he revealed a smile that was worth thinking about.

Divine martial tier ten!

Peak stage!

He had always thought that Xiao Hong was only at the early or middle stage of the divine martial realm.

After all, the old housekeeper of Marquis northcloud’s residence didn’t pose much of a threat.

However, when he used his transcendence vision to look at her, he realized that she was already at the peak of the divine martial realm and was about to break through to the celestial realm at any time.

“It’s a pity that it’s easier said than done to break through.”

Qin shujian shook his head.

It was the same as Yin Bancheng and Fang xinglan.

Xiao Hong’s cultivation level had reached the required level, but his qi and blood were gradually declining.

Whether he could break through in the future was still an unknown matter.
