"Wonderful! Senior sister is so smart that she actually thought of this method of swinging a hammer." Yuan Ming complimented as his thoughts swirled in his mind.

"Don't talk nonsense. How did I come up with this method? It was the work of a master of weapon refining in our sect a hundred years ago. The master was born weak. In order to make up for his lack of strength, he came up with this method in a whimsical way." Chen Wan's expression He blushed slightly and shook his head.

"So that's it. I don't know the name of this weapon-refining master? Is he still in the sect now?" Yuan Ming asked curiously.

"Master Heimu is one of the most talented weapon refiners in our sect over the past century. Unfortunately, he mysteriously disappeared for unknown reasons many years ago. If he were still here, the level of weapon refiners in Biluo Cave would definitely not be what it is today." Chen Wan said with a look on her face. regret.

Yuan Ming had no interest in refining weapons and could not understand Chen Wan's thoughts, so he turned to thinking about the art of expelling objects.

It has been half a month since he started, and he has some basic understanding of Biluo Cave. The Guizang Pavilion that Chen Wan mentioned is the place where Biluo Cave stores spells, secrets, and techniques.

Biluo Cave is quite sloppy in the teaching of disciples. Except for the inner disciples who are taken under the command of the elders and cave masters, ordinary registered disciples who want to learn new skills and secret techniques have to go back home. Exchange it in the Tibetan Pavilion, and then comprehend it on your own.

As an official institution of the sect, Guizang Pavilion is no better than Toad Valley. You cannot barter for spells here, and you need to use something called "contribution value".

For new registered disciples, the sect will grant twenty contribution points to allow them to gain a foothold in the sect, but it will not be officially distributed until the end of the month.

Yuan Ming can also get some contribution points by doing things in Huofang, but he can't get them until the end of the month, so he can't exchange them for any spells to this day.

"Don't think too good. Although it is theoretically feasible to use the Expulsion Technique to assist in forging, it is very difficult to do it in practice, because although this technique is easy to learn, it is difficult to combine it with physical strength and use it to refine weapons. It's not easy, at least for monks in the Qi refining stage. Many people in our sect who are naturally weak have tried this method, but very few people can succeed. You weigh it yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Chen Wan reminded After Yuan Ming said this, he turned around and left.

"Senior Sister Chen, if you have nothing to do, can you take me to the Execution Hall?" Yuan Ming called to the other party.

"The tasks issued by the Execution Hall are not simple. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger. You have just started. It seems too early to take up the tasks now. It is better to wait for a while before going." Chen Wan frowned. , persuaded.

"It doesn't matter, I just went over to take a look, I don't necessarily accept the mission." Yuan Ming waved his hand, and the next moment he felt a strange cold surge from behind, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Wan asked strangely when he saw this.

"No...it's okay, I might have caught a cold." Yuan Ming touched his nose and vaguely caught a glimpse of a silver figure flashing across a big tree outside the foundry.

"Are you going yet?" Chen Wan asked.

"Let's go." Yuan Ming retracted his gaze and said.

The two left the fire house and walked down the mountain. They soon came to a valley between the three peaks. In the valley stood a gray stone tower, which was very tall and divided into three floors.

There is a stone pillar standing at the door of the stone tower, with three big red characters "Executive Hall" written on it.

People kept coming and going at the door of the execution hall, which seemed quite lively.

The Execution Hall is where Biluo Cave releases bounty tasks. Biluo Cave disciples can take on tasks here and earn contribution points.

Contribution points are very useful. Not only can they be exchanged for spells and techniques in Guizang Pavilion, but they can also be exchanged for elixirs, talismans, spiritual materials and other things elsewhere.

Yuan Ming had heard of this place a long time ago. He had been busy practicing forging and training before, and today was his first time here.

"Okay, I've brought you the place. I won't say any more nonsense. Just take care of yourself." After Chen Wan finished speaking, she turned and left.

Yuan Ming stopped and looked at the gray tower for a moment, and was about to walk in.

"Junior Brother Yuan Ming, are you here to take over the mission?" A timid voice came from behind, but it was Qiqige.

"Senior Sister Qiqige, let me come here to familiarize myself with the environment. Is Senior Sister going to take on a mission?" Yuan Ming had a good impression of Qiqige and replied with a smile.

"Yeah." Qiqige was very shy. As soon as her eyes met Yuan Ming's, she immediately lowered her head.

"Then let's go in together. It's my first time here, and I still need senior sister's guidance on some places." Yuan Ming said.

"Okay." Qiqige uttered one word, lowered her head and walked in.

Yuan Ming also walked into the deacon hall. The space inside was quite large, covering a hundred feet in area. The first thing that caught his eye was a long stone platform. There were two old men in deacon uniforms sitting inside, registering the disciples who had accepted the task. .

Next to the stone platform stands a white jade stone tablet that is seven to eight feet high and three to four feet wide. The prohibition methods on it display the tasks of the sect.

A dozen Biluodong disciples gathered around the stone tablet, basically registered disciples, and whispered about the contents on the stone tablet.

"There are not many people here. I thought there would be many disciples here to take over the mission." Yuan Ming said.

"The disciples of the sect spend most of their time doing their own work in the hall, and they spend the rest of their time practicing. There are not many people who come to the hall to take over tasks." Qiqige said softly.

"That is to say, coming to the execution hall to take over tasks is similar to doing casual work." Yuan Ming gave an analogy.

"You can say that." Qiqige was slightly startled and said.

Yuan Ming nodded and looked at the stone tablet.

There are various tasks on the stone tablet, the simplest is the task of delivering letters and running errands, which are basically letters home written by Biluodong disciples to their families.

This kind of mission is not dangerous, but the reward is pitiful, with only one or two points of contribution value.

The slightly higher rewards are some collection tasks, such as going to some dangerous places to collect spiritual grass and spiritual materials, or hunting ferocious beasts, obtaining ferocious beast materials, etc. The contribution value of the rewards ranges from a few points to dozens of points.

There are also tasks with higher contribution value, and the level of danger is not comparable to collecting spiritual materials or hunting ferocious beasts.

Yuan Ming's eyes fell on the mission with the highest reward. This was a killing mission. The target was not a ferocious beast, but a monk named "Ma Xingkong".

According to the introduction at the end of the mission, this person is a defected disciple of Biluodong. His cultivation has reached the peak of Qi refining, and he has a spiritual beast with strength comparable to the foundation-building stage. Biluodong offers a reward of 1,000 contribution points for his capture, regardless of life or death.

"Senior Sister Qiqige, do you know this Ma Xingkong? His name sounds like he is from the Central Plains?" Yuan Ming asked.

"One thing I know is that this person is indeed from the Central Plains. He was originally a disciple of the Beast Taming Hall. It is said that he was born as a furry beast slave and was brought into the sect by Elder Mengshan himself. He suddenly defected more than a year ago and has not been caught yet. "Qiqige is no longer so shy and talks more.

"No matter how powerful this horse Xingkong is, he is just a monk in the Qi Refining Stage, and Biluodong actually spent a thousand contribution points to capture him?" Yuan Ming asked in confusion.

"I don't know about this." Qiqige shook her head.

Yuan Ming just asked casually, quickly put it behind him, and continued the task of checking the stone tablet.

Naturally, he didn't come here just to take a look. If there was a suitable task, he wanted to try it and earn some contribution points.

There is no need to consider the task of running errands and delivering letters. The contribution value is too little, and such tasks take a lot of time. Any one of them would take ten and a half days. He also has to work in Huofang, so it is impossible to be away for that long.

Yuan Ming set his sights on those collection tasks and quickly settled on one.

"Collect Fire Jade: Go to Tali Volcano and collect Fire Jade. Every five pieces will be exchanged for one contribution point. You can form a team to complete it."

After Yuan Ming entered Biluo Cave, he deliberately inquired about the nearby geography. He had heard about the Tali volcano. It was only about a hundred miles away from the gate of Biluo Cave. Half a day was enough for a round trip.

This task can be completed in a team and is not very dangerous, which is suitable for him.

"Senior Sister Qiqige, just go about your business and don't worry about me." Yuan Ming said to Qiqige.

Qiqige nodded, turned to check the stone tablet, quickly walked to the long stone platform, accepted the task, and left on her own.

When Yuan Ming saw Qiqige leaving, he went to Shitai, took out his identity plate and handed it to a black-clad deacon: "I want to take over the task of collecting fire jade on the 35th."

"Huo Puyu's tasks are all done in teams. There is a team that is recruiting people. Do you want to join?" The black-clothed deacon took out a white jade talisman and clicked on Yuan Ming's identity plate, his face expressionless. asked with an expression.

"I am willing to join." Yuan Ming said immediately.

"Very good, the team is over there, you can just go over there." The black-clothed deacon handed back the identity plate and pointed toward the corner of the hall.

Yuan Ming looked in the direction of his finger. Four Biluodong disciples were standing there. They were all registered disciples. There was an acquaintance among them, but it was the bald Agula.

He frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows quickly and walked over.

Noticing someone approaching, the four of them looked over.

Agula looked startled when he saw Yuan Ming.

"This junior brother has also taken over Huo Puyu's mission? Haha, he looks strange. I wonder which disciple he is?" A beautiful young woman wearing silver jewelry asked after looking at Yuan Ming for a few times. She seemed to be one of the four. 's leading figure.

This woman is in her early thirties, with rather kind facial features. She wears a string of silver bracelets on her wrists, which seem to be otherworldly objects. There is an emerald green spirit beast bag hanging on her waist.

Next to the young woman stood a dark-skinned man, wearing a piece of animal skin on his upper body, with half of his chest exposed, and a red tiger head tattoo carved on his shoulder. He was holding a dark iron rod as thick as a bowl in his hand. It was obvious at a glance that he was a powerful man. generation.

The last person was a young man with triangular eyes wearing a felt hat, with an indifferent expression, as if he was indifferent to strangers.

"I am Yuan Ming, a new disciple of Huolian Hall. I have met several of my classmates." Yuan Ming bowed.

"Huoliantang? Agula, is it from your side?" The beautiful young woman looked at Agula.

Agula forced a smile at the young woman. When he turned to Yuan Ming, his face turned gloomy and he said coldly: "Yuan Ming, you have only been in Biluo Cave for half a month. I'm afraid you don't even know three roads in the sect. You came here in such a hurry. Accepting the mission, do you want to die?"

Yuan Ming frowned, Agula was targeting him again. He couldn't remember when he had offended him?
