Chapter 295 Merchants
Chapter 295 Merchants
It was obvious that Senior Sister Jia had no intention of going any further.
Tian Lin also spoke up at this time: "As far as I know, even if you are lucky enough to get into Class A, if your strength is not enough, you will not only be eliminated, but also risk your life."
Ju Yunhai nodded, but before he could say anything, Mei Xiangu, who had been silent the whole time, began to mock Tian Lin:
"If you are so afraid of death, why do you want to cultivate immortality? Besides, I am here with you, are you still afraid that the evil spirits in the secret realm will hurt you?"
Tian Lin thought of Mei Xiangu's way of cultivation. If he became a Class A disciple, she, as his sword bearer, could follow him into the secret realm in the name of "protecting her master."
The secret realm is not a good place for ordinary people, but for Mei Xiangu, who holds the Goddess Tree and relies on souls to make it bloom and bear fruit, it is a rare and good place.
"Miss Mei has a point, but it may not be easy to get into Class A."
Tian Lin said to Ju Yunhai, "If Senior Brother Ju still wants to take on more missions, we can go to the academy together and take a look."
Tian Lin is confident that he can completely enter the middle stage of foundation building this month. After his level reaches the middle stage of foundation building, his combat power will naturally be greatly improved.
Logically speaking, building the Five Elements Dharmakaya is not a great skill in the Taoist school.
Among the disciples in Class B of the academy, not only have many of them reached the late stage of foundation building, but they all have at least the Five Elements Dharmakaya.
But Tian Lin is still different from these disciples. His five elements of Dharma body are all created by the superior supernatural powers he has cultivated.
Even among the disciples in Class A, not many of them use superior magical powers to cultivate the Five Elements Dharmakaya, because in order to cultivate superior magical powers to the perfect level, not only does it require extremely high talent, but it also requires auxiliary elixirs.
No matter how wealthy a person is, he cannot treat the auxiliary elixirs of superior magical powers as candy beans like Tian Lin did.
It can be seen how difficult it is to use superior supernatural powers to create the Five Elements Dharmakaya.
It can also be seen that this superior five-element Dharma body, which is entirely created by superior magical powers, can never be regarded as an ordinary middle stage of foundation building.
Just like Mei Xiangu, she also had only two Five Elements Dharma Bodies created by superior magical powers, which were enough for her to fight against more than ten outer disciples of the same realm alone in the late stage of foundation building.
"Okay, let's go to the academy."
Ju Yunhai was delighted. He bowed to Senior Sister Jia and said goodbye. Then he told his swordsman to go back and rest.
Including Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu, the three of them did not even return to the cave, but went directly to the school.
Maybe there are people like them who have completed the task ahead of them.
But these people either took a leave of absence or took on another assignment and left.
So there was no one in the school at this moment.
There are more than ten task boards hanging on the wall of the academy, waiting for people to choose.
Ju Yunhai stepped forward, turned over the task cards one by one, and carefully read the contents on them.
In fact, they had already looked at these tasks before and had plans for the next tasks in mind.
But after all, this is related to the safety and difficulty of the next month, so the three of them made their selection very carefully.
Not long after, Ju Yunhai took down the two task cards on the wall and asked Tian Lin, "What do you think of these two tasks, Junior Brother Tian?"
"Exorcism and funeral ceremonies?"
Tian Lin thought about it and turned his head to look at Mei Xiangu.
Mei Xiangu said, "Don't look at me. If it's about killing evil spirits, it's simple. But if it's just a simple exorcism, and you have to bury the evil spirits, then it's better to find someone from the Xiangxi Sect to do it."
"Can our funeral science accomplish this task?"
Tian Lin was a little skeptical, but Ju Yunhai comforted him:
"The Shang family also said that they invited disciples from the Xiangxi Sect to preside over the funeral this time. It's just that there are not enough people to cry for the dead, so they have to temporarily invite some people who know how to cry for the dead to help. In other words, this task requires us to make up the numbers. Although it is dangerous, it will be easy to complete if nothing goes wrong."
Tian Lin still felt that Ju Yunhai's statement was not very reliable, but after looking at the other tasks on the wall, he had to admit that the two task cards selected by Ju Yunhai were the tasks that looked relatively simple.
After figuring it all out, Tian Lin no longer hesitated and said, "If that's the case, let's go to the merchant house now to check out the situation."
The three of them then left the academy again. Without wasting any time, they took out their flying boat and left the Wendao Sect.
The difference between Class B disciples and Class C disciples is that Class B disciples seem to be able to enter and leave the sect at any time and do not have any schoolwork.
This may seem free, but it actually depends extremely on personal ability and luck.
A capable person, if unlucky enough to encounter a difficult task, will not only be at risk of losing his life, but may even fail to complete the task after a month of hard work and will eventually fall into Class C.
In this way, the so-called freedom becomes mostly unfree.
The reason why Ju Yunhai dared to challenge himself to complete three tasks in one month was simply because of the existence of Mei Xiangu.
Just like this time when they went to the Monster Forest, because of the presence of Fairy Mei, everyone almost lay down all the way into the Monster Forest and did not take any action at all.
Even Feng'er only died because he met Jian Jue, otherwise Feng'er would not have had to die, and he could have even received a share of Guo Yuanhuai's gift.
All in all, Ju Yunhai was very confident in completing the task, after all, Mei Xiangu was an inner sect disciple.
If the inner disciples lead the outer disciples to complete the tasks, what tasks can't be completed?
That's why when the people in the academy saw Tian Lin at the beginning of the month, there was indescribable complexity and jealousy in their eyes.
The merchant was quite far from the Daodao Sect, but fortunately Ju Yunhai's flying boat had an incredibly fast speed.
As the sky was about to brighten, everyone quickly arrived in Yuncheng.
Yuncheng is not big, and because it is close to a mass grave, it looks a bit desolate.
But the sale of corpses is very popular here. You can often see people transporting corpses from other towns to sell in shops in Yuncheng. You can also see corpse drivers from mass graves coming here to buy corpses cheaply.
It can be said that Yuncheng is a place where half of the people are alive and half are dead.
The merchant was considered a rather famous gentleman in Yuncheng.
However, the fact that this foundation-building family can stand firm in Yuncheng is all thanks to an ancestor who was once an outer disciple in the Xiangxi Sect.
This old ancestor who had been an outer disciple of Xiangxi Sect was ultimately unable to become an inner disciple of Xiangxi Sect due to his status. He was depressed and died half a month ago after protecting the family for hundreds of years.
Because of the influence of their ancestors, the Shang family also practiced the method of refining corpses. Logically, they knew more about funerals than Tian Lin and Ju Yunhai.
But because the merchants knew too much, things went wrong during the funeral.
Originally, his ancestor could have been buried peacefully, but some unknown member of the tribe had evil intentions and actually wanted to turn his ancestor into a walking zombie.
So when the funeral was halfway through, his ancestor not only resurrected from the dead, but also came back to life.
But his ancestor's soul did not return to his corpse, but instead moved to the body of the young patriarch.
So what Tian Lin and Ju Yunhai had to do was to drive the evil spirit out of their grandchildren's bodies and seal it in their corpses so that they could be buried peacefully.
