Destiny is ashes

Chapter 701: Grab it and turn it into a coolie! (5000, asking for a monthly ticket for the new month!)

At first, An Jing was shocked. "Why does he have demonic energy?" "Why does he have demonic energy?" But then he gradually came to his senses.

"Wait a minute. Could it be... all of them?"

Although the demonic energy from Miao Yunying and Zuo Tiannan was indeed a bit alarming, An Jing also thought of a possibility, so he put it aside for the time being.

Keeping calm, An Jing smiled and replied to Miao Yunying: "Let's not talk about strength for now. It's just the talent brought by God's destiny. It's because of many coincidences that he has such strength."

"I am just a newbie in the Mingjing Sect's martial arts. I still need the help of the seniors before I can enter the true martial arts world."

Everyone could hear that An Jing was being modest, but the fact that An Jing was willing to be modest was enough to make everyone smile - at least the future chief disciple of the Mingjing Sect was someone who was easy to talk to, able to talk, and willing to talk to them. This alone was already quite good in Huaixu's eyes.

You know, there are many crazy people in Huaixu Realm who are too lazy to listen to other people once they become powerful. It's really good that An Jing is not a crazy person.

Taking advantage of this atmosphere, An Jing returned the gifts to the other true disciples one by one, and at the same time sensed the demonic energy on them.

The result confirmed An Jing's guess.

——Fu Xie’s vibration never stopped!

"Fu Xie, why are you like the Soul and Fascia Gun? Do these people have demonic energy? Is your demonic energy sensing ability broken?"

After confirming that everyone, including his acquaintance Bai Luo, had demonic energy, An Jing was almost sweating: "You're not going to tell me that your ability to detect demonic energy is so sensitive that even a little bit of demonic energy can shock you to the point of being on red alert?"

"..."

Fu Xie was silent, and An Jing couldn't help laughing: "Do you want to test whether there is any demonic energy in me?"

"Have!"

"Forget it, Fu Xie, don't test it anymore. If you keep testing like this, I will be a traitor."

Although it was indeed caused by Fu Xie's oversensitivity, Fu Xie also had something to say. He was quite unconvinced: "But the demonic energy on those two people is indeed heavier than that on others. This is definitely not normal. They are in frequent contact with the source of demonic energy, which is completely different from other people who only come into contact with it occasionally!"

"Especially someone like you, An Jing. You've killed so many demons that you smell a bit. You're not in the same category as them at all!"

As he said this, Fu Xie began to recite "One thousand and ninety-six ways to distinguish the aura of the Heavenly Demon" and "Three thousand minor distinctions among the hundreds of types of Heavenly Demons"... This made An Jing feel that it was not necessarily that he could not remember the past, but that all the key memory areas were used to remember this kind of things.

However, from a side perspective, this also means that the entire Mingjing Sect is just like the current Mingguang Peak. On the surface, nothing can be seen, but in fact, it is probably filled with "eyes" similar to the demonized tree people, and the vision of the demons is everywhere.

But now is not the time to think about this, the seven visitors in front of me still need to communicate.

Including An Jing, the first meeting of the eight true disciples was a joyful one. After a brief greeting, An Jing invited each of the true disciples to come into the hall to give a detailed account and continue the communication.

After entering the hall, disciples from all sides presented gifts.

What Mi Xinghan sent was a piece of dragon spine, from a wild dragon from the North Sea. Although it was not as strong as the larger ones, it was quite rare and was naturally close to the energy of nature. It was extremely effective in refining equipment, making talisman materials, or making pills.

What Shi Liang gave was a hammer for refining weapons. The whole body was silver with a hint of red, and the core was a thousand-year-old Flame Soul Crystal Core. An Jing felt very happy when he saw it. He was also good at refining weapons, and he could see that this 'Flame Soul Hammer' was quite useful, and it was a good hammer that could even be used to forge divine weapons.

Luo Qinghui had no money. He was a talisman master but he didn't even have a talisman. He promised An Jing empty-handedly, "I'll give you a 30% discount if you want to make talismans in the future!" as a gift, but then he was forced to bow his head by his big creditor Miao Yunying with a dark face.

"I'm giving you face, little girl, right? You dare to swallow the gift for Brother An! Spit it out!"

"Wow, Brother Miao, put away your magical powers!"

Luo Qinghui immediately apologized with strange cries, and then gave a magical talisman with tears in her eyes: this was a magical talisman that Chu Yaofeng gave her as a gift. Although it was common, it was also extremely precious. But she was addicted to talismans and wanted to keep it in her hands to study it for a few more days. Therefore, she staged such a good show of 'Chu Yaofeng's first true disciple has no money to give gifts', which would make the peak master and the hall master of Chu Yaofeng all blush.

What Zuo Tiannan sent was a wisp of 'Frost Soul and Cloud Spirit', which is a rare spiritual object that can only be collected from the purest snow clouds and mist in the Arctic ice field. It is generally used for alchemy, but can also be taken directly. It is helpful in refining frost and snow-related magical powers - but the greatest effect is achieved when taken after alchemy.

Yue Yunhe presented a set of golden roc feathers made of the finest material. An Jing looked up several times when he received the gift. The golden-haired, blue-eyed man, the true descendant of the roc bloodline, touched his chin and said, "Don't worry, it's not mine. I'm not so shameless as to peel off my own skin and give it away."

An Jing exhaled, and then heard even more exaggerated words: "This is the first feather shed by my third child. The quality is quite good. Anyway, I will use it to refine weapons or give it to others, so I might as well give it to you."

Oh great, your child isn’t in human form yet, is he?

An Jing was speechless and decided to seal up the gift. When the children of Yue Yunhe grow up in the future, he will make these feathers into magical instruments and send them back. Then he can show off, "I am your elder. The first feathers you gave birth to are still with me!"
But the thing that Miao Yunying gave was quite unusual.

He gave away an entire alchemy furnace!

There are pills in the pill furnace, all of which are "Daqing Lingdan" that can replenish vitality. Although they are not rare, they are definitely hard currency. After taking one pill, the vitality of an ordinary martial vein can be replenished. Even for a super martial vein like An Jing with an ultra-large capacity and ultra-long durability, taking three or four pills can restore the vitality of the whole body.

"It's a bit expensive, isn't it, Brother Miao?"

When An Jing saw this 'life instrument elixir furnace' that was overflowing with golden clouds and seemed to carry a kind of destiny, he couldn't help but frowned slightly: "We are all fellow disciples. This is our first meeting, and you gave me such a big gift directly. I feel ashamed to accept it."

Although An Jing didn't mind taking advantage, as he said, they were all from the same sect, and he was not good at refining pills, so there was no use for him to use this good pill furnace - not to mention, the demonic energy on Miao Yunying was very conspicuous, and he suspected there was something fishy about giving so many pills rashly!
"Brother An, don't be polite to the dog owner!"

Without waiting for Miao Yunying to explain, Mi Xinghan spoke up. He glanced at the other party and said unhappily, "They have plenty of money to make pills. You think you've received too much as a gift now. When they charge you for making pills, you'll know they've also charged too much!"

"Hey, Brother Mi, you're wrong to say that."

Miao Yunying shook her fingers, closed her eyes and shook her head, saying: "I only charged the cost, fire consumption, furnace damage and labor costs for refining the elixir for you. Compared with the alchemists outside, our Shihui Peak is really very, very cheap."

"Open your eyes and look at me. Can you say it again?"

"Brother Mi, the true disciples of all the peaks are now gathered together. I am so moved that tears are about to flow as soon as I open my eyes."

In the last True Transmission Competition, Mi Xinghan and Miao Yunying were the decisive opponents. They had a good relationship, but they would always bicker like this.

Looking at their interactions, there is no barrier between these true disciples. They are truly good friends who are very familiar with each other.

The younger generation has a very good relationship… The elders in the Mingjing Sect may have a myriad of thoughts, full of conspiracies and intrigues, spies and internal fighting, but the younger generation lives together, takes risks together, learns from each other, and experiences life and death together. The friendship brought by a good sect really makes it a very cohesive sect.

An Jing even had some doubts - if the atmosphere in Mingjing Sect was so good, then why would a True Lord choose to 'betray Mingjing Sect'?

Maybe, not 'betrayal'.

"But they think that's what they think is the 'better direction'?"

An Jing had some understanding in his mind as to why the Mingjing Sect, which was able to cultivate good people like Mingguangchen and Chen Yinzi, suddenly had so many "traitors" and "spies" at the end of its golden generation.

Perhaps just like the cooperation between Ming Guangchen and King Jing of Dachen, which was also a ghost close to Dachen in a sense, when these elders of Mingjing Sect saw the impending decline of Mingjing Sect, they would definitely want to use some means, even if it means selling some things, to ensure the future survival of Mingjing Sect. "Brother An, this time we are not only visiting Mingguang Peak to celebrate your becoming the true disciple of my Mingjing Sect, but also to repay Brother An for saving my life in Hongta City."

And finally, the acquaintance Bai Luo stepped forward. This man, wearing a white robe and having black hair, was full of energy and looked like a true descendant of the traditional image of a young heroic warrior. He had a very decent image and if he were walking among the people, he would be known as a hero at first glance.

Although he was not included in the roll call, Bai Luo was actually quite famous. He was good at positional warfare and could skillfully use various terrains to fight. He once led a team to kill enemies that outnumbered his own by several times in the depths of an extremely complex rainforest and in an abandoned ancient city in the northwest.

Bai Luo's strongest battle record took place in a material warehouse in a small town on the edge of the Mingjing Sect. A group of mysterious warriors launched a sneak attack on him when he was counting materials, but he used the materials in the warehouse to temporarily set up dozens of formations in real time and wiped out all the enemies by himself, so he was called the Warehouse God of War.

He walked forward and directly handed over a Taixu magic weapon.

A small to medium-sized Taixu bracelet.

"This... Well, I thank you in advance, but if it is really too valuable, I will give you a big gift in return in the future."

An Jing was a little confused. Although he did lure out many traitors in Hongta City and indirectly saved the life of Bai Luo, who would have definitely resisted to the end at that time, even so, what kind of gift required an entire Taixu magic weapon to present?

But when An Jing used his spiritual sense to investigate, he was immediately shocked.

"This, this...isn't this too expensive?!"

When An Jing saw it, he was stunned.

Because, in the storage magic tool, there is a complete set of formation tools, materials, and a large number of formation classics jade books!

This complete set is not something that ordinary people in the martial arts world can get, such as the "Feng Shui Mirror", "Earth Vein Compass", "Spirit Vein Geomancy Map", etc. Among them are the "Dragon Fixing Stake" that can fix the spiritual vein, the "Universal Jade Mirror" that can automatically map the direction of spiritual energy, and various blank array plates and blank array bases...

Not to mention the spiritual objects that can be used to set up formations. This small storage device is comparable to the entire assets of some small sects that cannot even reach the standard of a lower sect!

——This is enough for a person to build his own small sect from scratch, which can be regarded as revival funds!
An Jing raised his head, eyes widened, staring at Bai Luo who had a calm expression. Bai Luo also knew the reason for An Jing's shock, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, take it, Brother An, you deserve it..."

There were many unspoken meanings in his words, and An Jing was not in a position to ask for the moment. He just frowned and said, "This is too expensive, and there must be another reason. Brother Bai, can we discuss it in private later when we have time?"

Bai Luo nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is really just a thank you gift - although we at Weichen Peak are not as rich as the alchemists, we still make a lot."

Others did not know how many things were in the Taixu magic weapon. They just thought it was as precious as the alchemy furnace given by Miao Yunying, and did not pay much attention to it. However, An Jing understood the difference between the two, which was as big as the difference between a valuable home ornament and a whole house with such ornaments.

"Brothers and sisters, your love is too great."

After receiving so many gifts, An Jing couldn't just say nothing. In the hall, he bowed to all the disciples and said, "I don't have much assets. After thinking about it, I think my martial arts skills are pretty good. I also have many magical powers and martial arts experiences to share."

"In addition, I am also good at refining equipment, especially some metal and composite spiritual storage instruments, such as this spiritual energy furnace..."

An Jing took out the spiritual energy furnace that he had modified based on the Nalong Bottle technology from his storage magic tool and gave it to each of the true disciples one by one. This special magic tool, which was almost equivalent to the second Dantian and blended the essence of the technology from two worlds, immediately amazed everyone and praised the ingenuity in it: "What a good thing, Brother An, this is really a good thing!"

"When you're not practicing on weekdays, you can use your own spiritual energy to fill it up. When you're fighting, you can use it to restore your spiritual energy! The endurance can be greatly increased!"

"I was originally curious about why Brother An could fight for such a long time. It turns out that this is the power of the Lord of Arms - not only the talent for cultivation, but also the talent for refining weapons!"

Luo Qinghui, in particular, nodded continuously: "This kind of spiritual power is really similar to some of my cultivation methods. Brother An, we can talk more about technical issues in the future!"

However, Mi Xinghan was more interested in another promise of An Jing: "This spiritual energy furnace is indeed a top-notch magic weapon with great potential. If it can be upgraded to a magic weapon, even the Sage Master can use it."

"But Brother An, is it true? Are you willing to learn magic skills and fight with us?"

"The True Transmission Competition is coming up soon, and this might expose some of your hidden cards."

An Jing said as a matter of course: "Of course. In the final analysis, it is impossible for warriors like us to improve without fighting. We should practice more with each other so that we can hone ourselves better."

"As for the trump card, we are all fellow disciples, why do we care about it? If we can really find the flaw, it will be better to ensure safety when we go out to fight against the enemy in the future!"

"it is good!"

Mi Xinghan cheered and laughed: "If that's the case, then what are we waiting for? Let's have a fight now?"

——It turned out that he couldn’t wait any longer and wanted to start fighting now!

"Hey, wait, why are you first?!"

On the other side, Zuo Tiannan was unhappy: "I said I was number one? How could you decide it on your own?"

"Yes, yes, I'm the poorest, so why can't I be number one?" Luo Qinghui puffed out his chest, as if he was right because he was poor.

On the other side, Shi Liang and Miao Yunying were also eager to try, but they were too embarrassed to speak up. Yue Yunhe was not very interested in this. Instead, he observed the spiritual furnace that borrowed the technology of the Nalong bottle, muttering to himself: "The method of the demon pill... This uses the method of the true spirit demon pill!"

As for the competition among the crowd, An Jing waved his hand and said, "Brother Mi, this is a one-on-one fight, and everyone present has a chance. To be honest, we can fight at any time, and no one will be left out. As for the order, if it is a normal day, I think anyone can go first, and we can even draw lots."

"And now, I have a better suggestion."

Having said this, he brought all the true disciples to the middle of the mountain, overlooking the vicinity of Mingguang Peak, and then activated Fuxie's magic detection circle. In an instant, demonic energy soared into the sky and surrounded Mingguang Peak, making everyone gasp in shock.

"Perhaps it's because of a newly built peak, or perhaps it's the remaining poison from the frost disaster. Monsters are lurking all around my Mingguang Peak."

Revealing his true purpose, An Jing laughed heartily and said, "We are the true disciples after all. In the future, we will lead the people of a peak and a palace. Fighting alone certainly requires strength and bravery, but if we only know this, it is definitely not enough."

"Look, these thousands of demonized tree men are perfect targets, aren't they? I have a suggestion. That is, everyone should bring along the disciples from their own peaks, and we should each use our own methods and give orders to see which side can destroy more monsters?"

"The party that kills the most monsters will be qualified to fight with me first. Of course, if you want to learn something else, I'm happy to accompany you!"

The demon who had been eavesdropping and observing outside: "Hmm?"

What's going on? Why did the fire suddenly burn us? !
Hearing An Jing's words, everyone's eyes lit up and they had some enlightenment in their hearts.

Oh?
Brother An, it seems that invincible force is not enough... Eight peaks cooperate to wipe out the demons? His ambition is even greater, he wants to prove that the master of soldiers is also the master of the army, not only is he good at fighting alone, but he is also a first-class leader?

Coordinate the cooperation of the eight peaks, starting with the younger generation? Does he want to command the entire younger generation of the Mingjing Sect?
Good! If you have enough ambition, then we will accompany you!
An Jing actually didn't think that much about this.

"Ha, the coolies finally get into the factory."
