C36 Covenant of Life and Death
The scorching noon sun was high in the sky. Outside the Demon Hunting Tower, the elder was standing in front of the thatched cottage, waiting for Han Bing's arrival.
whoosh * Han Bing appeared before the old man. However, he had returned to his human form and had a helpless expression.
"It's time to go back." The old man said.
"Senior, you must be messing with me. Why do you always drag me out every time I kill a demonic beast for its beast core?" Have you been watching me? " Han Bing asked helplessly.
"Of course not. You can stay in there for a month, but I don't have that much time to keep an eye on you." The old man said wrongly, "It is indeed time."
"Tsk, the last time I went in was at night. Now you tell me that it's time at noon." You don't want to talk to me about a big moon, do you? " Han Bing felt that this old guy was too shameless, simply insulting his own IQ, thinking that he couldn't even distinguish between day and night.
Cough cough. About that, it's like this. I saw that you paid 440 achievement points for the beast cores last time, and you could only stay for a third of a day on the last day. I don't think I would allow most people to pay their merit points for half a day just like that." The old man didn't even bat an eyelid when he spoke, and it was as if he really gave a huge gift to Han Bing. He was truly a cunning old fox, not respecting his elders.
"Then how did you get my 440 contribution points?" Han Bing followed up, it shouldn't be like this.
Four hundred and forty, how dare you be a little more treacherous?
"Three body refining ninth level beast cores, one for 100 achievement points; two body refining eighth level beast cores, one for 70 achievement points, a total of 440 achievement points." The old man said righteously.
Han Bing couldn't help but scold him. A body refining seventh grade beast core could be exchanged for 50 contribution points. A body refining eighth grade would at least cost 100 contribution points. This old man only gave 70 contribution points, but this body refining ninth grade beast's beast core was even more infuriating and only gave 100 contribution points. Han Bing suddenly felt that if this old man went to do business instead of cultivating martial arts, this Sky Dragon Continent would definitely have another big evil merchant.
Noticing Han Bing's dissatisfaction, the old man explained, "This place is not comparable to the clan. I'm an old man and I still have to help you exchange for contribution points. You should at least give me some hard work." What's more, you took away the King Lizard's beast core, what's there to be unsatisfied about? "
Hearing that, Han Bing looked up and said, "Weren't you not monitoring me? How did you know I took the King Lizard's beast core? " Moreover, this old thing was even asking him if he had to work hard to pay for the money. How shameless was that?
The old man knew that he had misspoken, so he vaguely said, "The responsibility of protecting the safety of every trial-taker is beyond my responsibility. It's just that I happened to see it, so it can't be counted as surveillance."
The old man's lies were worse than those of the previous ones. The Demon Hunt Squad's clear rules stated that the Demon Hunt Squad had nothing to do with the life or death of the trial-takers, and he had the nerve to say that the safety of the trial-takers was his responsibility. Who didn't know that the Dongfang Family had the highest mortality rate?
Han Bing was about to retort when he heard Ling'er say, "Never mind, Little Han Bing, this old man's planning on going back on his word. I don't think you should argue with him. If he gets angry, I won't be able to save you."
Hearing Ling'er's persuasion, Han Bing had no choice but to return. He just didn't expect that such a sage-like old man would have such a shameless side to him. Han Bing was also drunk.
After Han Bing left, the old man said with relief, "Huu ~ Fortunately, we managed to pull him out in time, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to avoid the beast cores of such a large group of Desert Silver Lizards. If it was exchanged for achievement points, it would be fine, but it would not be completely refined by this person who has the ability to transform into a demon beast. "
"Yes."
He had a change in his heart when he returned to the Dongfang family after a month. It was just like how he felt when he first entered the West East City without any cultivation, and then entered the West East City after having that cultivation for the second time. His heart felt a lot more at ease.
When he returned to his room, the bed was messy, probably due to the fact that he never came to his room after Luo Ling left last time, and there was no one to tidy it up. He felt a sense of desolation as he looked at the room full of dust and uncollected items. Luo Ling really didn't care about her own life or death as she concentrated on looking for Shaohua.
"Hey, Little Han Bing, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly become so disappointed? Is there no one to help you clean your room? " Ling'er consoled him, "It's alright. After you raise your World Force to a certain level, you will be able to open the passages to your Spiritual World and Sky Dragon Continent. Then, I can come out and help you clean up. So, bear with it. Don't cry. Be good. "
"Ling'er, thank you. Thank you for your consolation. I'm fine. I'm not crying either." Han Bing knew that Ling'er cared about him. If he didn't have Ling'er by his side to comfort and guide him, what would happen to him? Crazy? Enchanted? Or long dead. Thus, Han Bing had already treated Ling'er as the most important fourth person in his life. The first three are his father, older brother and sister, they are tied first.
"Aiya, Little Han Bing, don't say it like that, I'm sorry, but no matter what, you have to stay alert and prove to that Luo Ling that you're much stronger than that Shaohua. It's her fault that she didn't pick you." Han Bing didn't expect a girl like Ling'er to be so good at cursing. If someone in the past had said Luo Ling was in the wrong, Han Bing would have been the first to stand out and oppose it. However, he didn't do so this time, because the weight of Ling'er in his heart had already surpassed that of Luo Ling.
"Mm, yes, Ling'er, I will. Right now, I need to exchange for contribution points and buy some items to increase my strength. In a month's time, I will be competing in the inner sect's guardians. I will defeat Shaohua on the spot." As Han Bing said this, she walked out of the room and headed towards the Mission Pavilion.
The Missions Pavilion was still the Missions Pavilion, but times had changed. He still remembered the first time he came here, it was to take a mission to Yangshan Town with Luo Ling.
"Senior, I'm here to exchange for contribution points." Han Bing entered the Merit Point Exchange Office and took out the beast core he got from the Tower of Demon Hunting.
"Five Demonic Beast Cores of Grade Eight Refinement, for a total of 500 achievement points; five Demonic Beast Cores of Grade Nine Refinement, for a total of 750 achievement points; one Demonic Beast Core of Perfection, High Bloodline, 300 achievement points; and a total of 1,500 achievement points." As he said this, the old man swiped his finger across Han Bing's identity jade tablet, and the number on it changed from twelve to one thousand five hundred and sixty-two.
"Hey, hey, Little Han Bing, restrain yourself. Your saliva is almost going to flow out." Ling'er said in disdain.
Han Bing recovered his wits and took the identity jade token from the old man. He couldn't help but feel that the old man in the mission pavilion was much more generous than the old man in the pagoda, and that Han Bing found him a lot more pleasing to look at.
At this moment, the old man was also sizing up Han Bing. "Did you go to the Tower of Demon Hunting again, or the third floor?" There was a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Hur hur, I have nothing better to do. I went for a stroll." Han Bing smiled and said, but thankfully no one else heard, otherwise Han Bing would definitely be beaten to a pulp. F * ck, I can also casually walk around the Demon Hunt Squad Tower.
"He really is an extraordinary person!" The old man could only sigh.
"Senior, you are flattering me. If there is nothing else, junior still has to exchange for some items to prepare to participate in the inner clan guard selection. I will take my leave first." Han Bing said.
Just as Han Bing was about to leave, the face that Han Bing hated the most appeared in the Mission Pavilion.
"Big brother Shaohua, next time, I need you to accompany me." "Alright, I'll give you all the contribution points for this mission. I'll accompany you when I'm done using them." Yeah! Big Brother Shaohua treats Luo Ling the best! "
Shaohua had released it half a month ago. He had been accompanying Luo Ling in completing a mission this entire time, and had just finished it today.
"Have the two of you completed the mission smoothly?" Han Bing politely asked the two of them. There was a smile on his face, and not a single ripple could be seen.
Luo Ling looked at Han Bing as if she had seen a ghost. Her eyes were constantly sizing up Han Bing. There was surprise in her eyes, but she did not open her mouth to speak. The Han Bing brothers also came to submit a mission? I was wondering why I hadn't seen you for so many days. So you had gone to complete a mission. "How many achievement points did you earn?" Shaohua also asked with a smile.
"Thanks to Brother Shaohua's blessings, everything went smoothly. There weren't many achievement points after all, just a little over fifteen hundred. I'm sorry for the ridicule." As Han Bing said this, he waved the identity jade token in his hand. The words 1562 were particularly eye-catching, "I wonder how many contribution points Brother Shaohua has earned. Can you let me know so I can have a target to look up to?"
Luo Ling stood beside Shaohua and held onto his arm with a look of disbelief on her face. The corner of Shaohua's mouth twitched. He originally wanted to flaunt the 200 + achievement points he earned from completing the quest with Han Bing, but he didn't expect Han Bing to be so abnormal, 1500 + points, not much, then what does he want to do.
But soon, Shaohua recovered, his eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness, but he didn't burst out laughing and said to Han Bing, "Brother Han Bing is really amazing, I'm not good, I didn't earn that many achievement points, but I was happy to have a beautiful woman accompanying me, hahaha." As he spoke, he held onto Luo Ling who was beside him.
If it was before, Han Bing would definitely go up and fight with Shaohua, but now, Han Bing didn't do that. He also said with a smile, "Brother Shaohua is at the prime of his life, of course there will be countless girls chasing after him. It's really enviable. But even more enviable was still Brother Shaohua's attitude. He expected his little brother to have just died a miserable death and his bones hadn't turned cold yet, but Brother Shaohua didn't budge the slightest bit. "Haha." This was a contest between men, whoever was angry would lose. But this time, Han Bing poked a sore spot for Shaohua.
Seeing that Shaohua's face was getting colder, Luo Ling couldn't help but frown. In order to let Shaohua walk out of the shadow of losing his brother and let Shaohua accompany her in the task, she did all she could to coax Shaohua.
"Big brother Shaohua, don't listen to him. The clan will definitely find out who the culprit is. Return your little brother's innocence." Luo Ling comforted him, "Han Bing, he just walked out of the shadow, please don't provoke him anymore, I'm begging you." From the looks of it, Luo Ling did not tell anyone that she had killed Shao Liang.
Hearing Luo Ling's comforting words, Shaohua's face relaxed, "It's okay, Little Ling, I'm fine." "Han Bing, let's not talk too much. It's a man's game, after a month, he will be the winner of the Internal Clan Guardian Competition." Shaohua said coldly.
"That's exactly what I want. One month later, in the battle of life and death, only one of us remains. I wonder what Brother Shaohua thinks?" Han Bing said.
"No!" Luo Ling shouted, but Shaohua ignored her and said, "No problem, I'm afraid you don't dare."
"Haha! Awesome! I guarantee that your death won't be any better than that idiot Shao Liang's." With that, Han Bing walked around Shaohua and Luo Ling out of the mission pavilion.
