Chapter 22: Settling Accounts After Autumn

  Of course, Hu Jing and the three are exceptions. Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaojiang are direct descendants, one with a life mark of five layers and the other with a life mark of four layers. As long as they are slightly awakened, having a life mark of ten layers is just a matter of time. And Wang Meng must also have some background, who would believe that this kind of person can distinguish between wild grass king?

  "Haha, Zhang Shidi, Wang Shidi, great talents indeed! And Hu Shimai is even more impressive, having such a demeanor after only one month of cultivation."

  To everyone's surprise, Zhou Qian took the initiative and came over, flattering them excessively from the start.

  Wang Meng smiled and said, "Brother Zhou is so enthusiastic, are you thinking of settling accounts with us?"

  Hu Jing was silent, while Zhang Xiaojiang looked at Wang Meng, as if they both regarded the "weakest" Wang Meng as a role model.

  Zhou Qian was taken aback, "Bill? What bill?" Suddenly, he pretended to be enlightened, "Oh, I remember! That piece of Ling Stone, don't worry, how could I want Zhang Shidi's Ling Stone? It was just to motivate you guys!"

  As he spoke, Zhou Qian carefully took out a piece of Ling Stone, which was even larger than the one Zhang Xiaopang had originally, and his expression was truly heart-wrenching.

  Zhou Qian naturally didn't dare to ask Zhao Guang for it, nor did he dare to offend Zhang Xiaojing and Hu Jing, so he could only sacrifice himself.

  Wang Meng nodded, and Zhang Xiaopang took it over without hesitation. Wang Meng patted Zhou Qian's shoulder, "Brother Zhou is a clever person, I like clever people the most, I love dealing with clever people."

  Zhou Qian's face didn't change color, but in his heart he was also speculating, this guy really doesn't take himself seriously, could it be that there's some kind of background?

  "Where, where, three of you are talented, but there's always unfinished business to attend to. If there's anything I can help with, just say the word. At Leigong Hall, who doesn't know that Zhou Qian is a famous all-around expert? I'm definitely the first to know about any news from various small paths. Besides, I have a little gift here."

  He took out three talismans from the Qiankun bag and handed them to the three of them with a smile, while the fat man took it without hesitation, not believing that this guy would dare to cheat them.

  Wang Meng didn't think much of himself either; seeing many people like this who struggled to survive in the cracks, he already thought that was good enough.

  "Since Brother Zhou is so enthusiastic, we won't be polite, and in the future, we will inevitably have to trouble you."

  "Haha, that's right, that's right, you guys chat, I still have something to do on my end." Zhou Qian maintained a smiling face, unaware of how selfless he thought his senior brother was.

  Zhou Qian's heart was bleeding, but he had always adhered to the principle of being a wise and capable person who knows how to handle things. He didn't believe that both Zhao Ya and Wan Jing would make mistakes at the same time. As long as one of them could keep their position, it wasn't someone he could afford to offend.

  This time it's really a stroke of bad luck.

  "Brother Meng, why don't you tell him off, at least give him a good beating." Zhang Xiaojiang said, but he still couldn't bear to part with the Ling Stone in his hand.

  This piece is even bigger than the one he had before. After a month of torture, his sensitivity to the aura of the spiritual stone has increased greatly. Practicing with the spiritual stone will definitely bring great benefits.

  "In the world of cultivation, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and tattling is the most cowardly behavior."

  Wang Meng shook his head.

  "Wang Meng is right, from now on we can only rely on ourselves. Zhang Xiaopang, don't fantasize that Wan Jing will help you. If you can't show enough talent in your subsequent cultivation, you'll be abandoned at any time." Hu Jing said.

  Zhang Xiaopang patted his chest proudly and said, "I am a genius!"

  Lei Guang Peak is where the four elders cultivate, and the yuanqi is also the most abundant. Only a very small number of disciples can approach it. Lei Guang Hall is located on the mountain waist, which is where the majority of the disciples gather to cultivate. As formal disciples, each person will have their own small courtyard.

  Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaojiang, as direct disciples, are both in the Jiazi Fang district, where the stronger third-generation disciples of Leigong Tang live, and the spiritual energy here is also relatively abundant.

  Becoming Hu Mei's neighbor is a happier thing for Zhang Xiaopang than getting a piece of Ling stone.

  Wang Meng is in the Yi character district.

  Three people were in Hu Jing's room, which had been decorated by Hu Jing as a girl's boudoir. It was neat and refreshing. As soon as they entered the house, Pangzi's nose sniffed vigorously.

  Wang Meng, who was fed up with Zhang Xiaopang's behavior as a fox and dog friend, kicked him and Zhang Xiaopang finally sat down like a guest to find a chair.

  Hu Jing was used to the two of them fooling around and seemed unaffected by their antics no matter what the environment, pouring tea for the pair.

  "Try some, it was given by Master, Yunxian tea, has a calming effect."

  "Wow, Elder Zhao is really biased, starting to send things already. Is there something like a life-saving pill or something? A few bottles would be great. That Zhou Qian guy only sells inferior goods." Zhang Xiaopang still had some resentment, apart from the divine movement symbol which was somewhat useful, everything else was trash.

  "In a year's time, the Lesser Vehicle's Refining Origin Returning to Heart Technique will be perfected, and my lifespan will increase by two tiers. My personally transmitted disciples will have advantages, but it will also be much more difficult for them than others."

  Hu Jing said, but seemingly didn't feel any pressure.

  Zhang Xiaopang immediately pulled out his own talisman, took a look, and was immediately stunned. "Damn it, I also need to complete the Small Bow Arcana, this is too cruel! Grandma's, can't I not be a direct disciple?"

  Zhang Xiaopang saw Wang Meng and Hu Jing's eyes and immediately raised his hands in surrender, "When I didn't say anything."

  Wang Meng also looked at his own token, like Wang Meng and other non-direct disciples who had to do various chores based on their abilities. Wang Meng's task was to plant the cleared spiritual field with spirit-absorbing grass, which could absorb spiritual energy and produce spirit grains that resembled rice ears with spiritual energy. The harvest was twice a year, 80% of which would be submitted, and 20% could be kept for personal use. This spirit grain could be used as an auxiliary material for alchemy or as food for spiritual creatures, with many uses.

  However, there is no requirement for cultivation here.

  The seven levels of the Lesser Vehicle's gong method are entry-level gong methods; only after mastering them can one continue to cultivate.

  Each sub-hall in the Holy Temple has a Sword Pavilion, a Law Instrument Pavilion, and so on. They can be exchanged for contributions and spirit stones, but such things are too far away for Wang Meng to recall, let alone feel a little novelty.

  Although the information provided by Zhou Qian's talisman was basic, it was very helpful. Wang Meng also found that there had been an earth-shaking change compared to before.

  The strength of a cultivator mainly depends on three major elements: the level of their Nascent Soul, their magical techniques, and their magical treasures.

  Life Mark: The higher the level, the more Life Marks, the stronger the Yuan Force, and the more spells that can be used. Naturally growing, cultivating, and using Heaven's Gift to enhance.

  Magic: With the combination of fate marks as a trajectory, yuan force as output, the powerful force produced is the foundation of opening up a sect and establishing a school. Learning magic requires insight and hard practice, there are no other shortcuts.

  Destiny determines whether one can become a cultivator, while enlightenment determines whether one can become a powerful cultivator.

  Magical Tools: Including the main weapon of a cultivator, as well as talismans, magical tools, and elixirs manufactured by the body refinement stage. These are external objects, owning a good magical tool is equivalent to having a second life.
