"I have completed the first level of practice of 'Shuiyun Technique', and I am going to exchange it for the second level of magic formula next month. How about you, to what extent have you practiced the 'Nian Shen Technique'? Do you want to go to Tibetan Scripture together?"

Pavilion?" Zhang Meng unexpectedly came to see Xie Ling and said something that shocked him.

"There are only seven days in this month. I shouldn't be able to cultivate to the first level of magic. You can do it yourself!" Xie Ling said with some frustration.

"Well, you have to work hard!" Zhang Meng also didn't understand why Xie Ling would choose the 'Spell of Mind'. Recently, I heard from the seniors in the clan that if the soul is not innately powerful, this technique is extremely difficult to practice. It requires

It takes a lot of time and energy, but few people will touch it.

Xie Ling looked at Zhang Meng's leaving figure, and his heart was full of doubts. Zhang Meng knew too much, and judging from the aura he revealed, his background must not be too bad. His surname is Zhang. Could it be Xie, Wang

, Zhang, are you a descendant of the Zhang family among the four major Shangguan families?

Zhang Meng came out of Xie Ling's wooden house and did not go back to his own house. Instead, he came to a remote mountain wall.

"You're here!" A dark figure standing on the mountain wall said after seeing him.

"Third uncle, what do you want from me?" Zhang Meng looked at the black shadow and asked.

"Why, are you still angry that your third uncle arranged for you to be sent to the 'Item Refining Institute'?" said the black shadow.

"How dare I!" Zhang Meng only said that he didn't dare, but did not deny that he had any grievances.

"How is your practice of 'Water Cloud Technique' going?" Black Shadow asked, ignoring the resentment in his words.

"I have finished practicing the first level of magic formula." Zhang Meng said.

"Your 'Water Spirit Art' has reached the third level!" Black Shadow said.

"Just broke through to the third level." Zhang Meng said.

"I don't have time to stay here for a long time. This bottle of 'Spirit Gathering Pill' can help you practice to the fourth level of 'Water Spirit Technique' faster. Remember, practice 'Water Cloud Technique' well and don't slack off, otherwise you will never be able to learn from me in the future.

Do you understand if you get even one 'Spirit Gathering Pill' in your hand?" After speaking, the black shadow threw a bottle over.

Zhang Meng took the jade bottle, and his originally sad face suddenly turned into a smile, and he said repeatedly: "Don't worry, third uncle, Meng'er understands!"

Seven days passed quickly, and the new tasks finally came down. Seeing the basic tasks assigned to everyone, everyone on the gravel field looked at Xie Ling with a very ugly face in shock.

The others on the list are the same as last month, but the basic tasks assigned to Xie Ling are actually as high as 350,000 black iron ore or 300,000 bronze ore, although the rewards are higher than others.

One contribution point, but there are nearly two contribution points less than before. This is simply naked exploitation and persecution.

"Senior Brother Hao, I need to know the reason for allocating tasks like this?" Xie Ling asked, suppressing his anger.

"The reason, haha, I see that you usually work very easily! I think it is necessary to put some pressure on you. This is also to make you grow faster!" Hao Mingli said with a yinful smile.

"These are two different things. As long as I get a reasonable distribution, if my senior brother thinks this is reasonable, I don't mind reporting it to the landlord and letting him do justice. Maybe he will think that some people are not qualified to lead the gravel yard.

And arrange another more suitable person to take charge!" Xie Ling's voice became deeper. For such a person who bullies his subordinates and flatters his superiors, weakness and surrender is never the best choice.

"Yes, this arrangement is too unreasonable. Xie Ling, I will accompany you to report to the landlord and let him seek justice." Qin Pei frowned and said.

"Qin Pei, why do you say what I want to say in front of me every time? Such a distribution is so stupid, I think everyone else is stupid!" Long Xiang also shouted loudly.

"You--" Hao Mingli did not expect that Qin Pei and Long Xiang would come forward to defend Xie Ling, their faces distorted with anger.

"What's going on? What a noisy thing!" At this moment, a young man in gray clothes came over from a distance.

"Senior Brother Xiao——" Hao Mingli turned around and saw Xiao Mo. He couldn't help but feel stunned and said with a trembling voice.

Xiao Mo just glanced at the task bar on the wall, his pupils narrowed, he glanced at Xie Ling on the side, and then glanced at the other trial students on the field. With his many years of experience, he knew the whole story of what was happening in front of him in just one glance.

His eyes became cold and his voice was low: "You have to remember one thing. In the 'smelting room', Master Cui's words are true. Similarly, in the gravel field, Junior Brother Hao's words are also valid. Who wants to challenge this kind of situation?"

If you follow the order, then no one not only in the 'Item Refining Institute', but even in the entire Cang Yue Sect will dare to support you. This is a rule, and no one can break it! Do you understand?"

"Understood -" someone sparsely replied.

"Why, you haven't eaten yet! Let me ask again, do you understand?" Xiao Mo's voice became even colder and colder.

"Understood!" Everyone was stunned and responded loudly, not daring to slack off any longer.

"You?" Xiao Mo looked at Xie Ling and said.

"Understood!" Xie Ling felt a chilling air coming from the opposite side, as if if he said the wrong word, he might be strangled on the spot.

"Very good, Junior Brother Hao, you continue. If anyone dares to make a noise and refuses to obey orders, you can do whatever you want to do with him!" After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he turned around and left, but no one dared not believe his words, and the entire gravel field became silent for a while.

Quietly.

"Haha, did you hear that? Is anyone still dissatisfied?" Hao Mingli looked at Xie Ling and others proudly and said, "If no one has any objections, you can start receiving the mission!"

Xie Ling's ears were still echoing Xiao Mo's words just now. It's better to say that order is strength! If you don't have strength, even if you are obviously being bullied, you still have to endure it because you are not strong enough.

Qin Pei and Long Xiang came over and patted him on the shoulder respectively. This was a silent comfort. Xie Ling was very grateful for their support just now. He smiled slightly and said it was okay. But was it really okay? He was the only one.

I know it in my heart.

After the task increased, Xie Ling's time spent crushing gravel every day also increased accordingly. He was still busy in the gravel field almost every day after finishing work for other trial students. However, this made his desire to strengthen himself even more urgent. All day long,

In addition to practicing, he continued to practice. More than half a month passed by until Zhang Meng came to see him.

Zhang Meng had recently reached a bottleneck in his cultivation and could not break through no matter how hard he tried, so he thought of Xie Ling and wondered how he was doing now. When he arrived at the stone house where Xie Ling lived, he missed it. When he came to the gravel field, he found him.

Still crushing rocks alone.

Not far from the stone house, by the stream, Xie Ling and Zhang Meng were sitting side by side on a rock.

"Hey, I heard that you were fucked by that Hao Mingli. Is that what happened?" Zhang Meng said as his snow-white feet rippled in the clear stream.

"You know this, you are so awesome!" Xie Ling replied.

"That guy is not a good person. He doesn't like others to be better than him. Who doesn't know about it in the whole 'Refining Institute'!" Zhang Meng suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "How about we secretly punish him and let out this bad breath?

"

"Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing!" Xie Ling thought of Xiao Mo's words that day and the powerful murderous aura emanating from him. He still has lingering fear in his heart. At that time, he could feel that if he had objections, Xiao Mo might really take action. .

"Humph, coward!" Zhang Meng turned his body to the side, pouted, and paddled hard in the water with his two feet. Suddenly, he pulled his feet out of the stream with an 'oops' sound.

"What's wrong?" Xie Ling turned around and saw blood pouring out from the sole of Zhang Meng's right foot. He must have been accidentally injured by the gravel under the stream just now.

Zhang Meng frowned and wanted to wipe the wound with a silk scarf, but the rock under his body was round and slippery, and the injured area was at the sole of his foot, so it was very inconvenient to bend over. At this moment, someone grabbed his right ankle, "What are you going to do?" he shouted.

Screaming, the sound was sharp and harsh.

Xie Ling, who was standing in the stream, was startled. She grabbed his ankle and said, "Don't move, let me do it!" Seeing that he didn't move, she held his right foot with one hand and used a clear hand with the other.

The stream of water washed his wounds.

Zhang Meng saw that he was helping her clean the wound, and her heart relaxed. Xie Ling's hand was very broad and strong. Zhang Meng felt the heat in his hand and his face turned red involuntarily. Fortunately, it was night.

Don't see it clearly, otherwise he will be even more nervous.

"Okay!" Xie Ling washed away the blood on the soles of his feet with the stream water, then took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms to bandage the wound. He only felt that Zhang Meng's feet were so small, and as soft as boneless, very smooth, and he could bear it.

I couldn't help but put on his shoes for him.

"I'm a little sleepy, I have to go back first -" Zhang Meng was incoherent for a moment, and regardless of Xie Ling who was still standing in the stream, he got up and ran away.
Chapter completed!
