"There are quite a few practitioners in your Qin residence right now." Yi Xiao said with a smile.
"Six." Qin Yun said, "Including the ones who came now, there are seven."
Yi Xiao nodded: "You have more practitioners than many small third-rate sects. That's right. In terms of strength, you alone are stronger than many second-rate sects."
In general second-rate sects, when encountering a demon king like the Black Demon King, they would have retreated a long time ago.
Qin Yun came out with a flying sword, but it caused the Black Demon King to flee in a hurry!
If he encounters the Black Demon King's provocation again now, the Black Demon King will probably be beheaded by the flying sword directly! But last time, the Black Demon King was frightened, so he dared to be an enemy of Qin Yun.
"I'll go and see the origin of that cultivator first." Qin Yun got up.
"Go and do your business." Yi Xiao picked up the books on the side, flipping through them and looking at leisurely reading by the lake.
Qin Yun went to the hall where he specially received guests.
There was already a thin young man sitting there in the hall.
When Qin Yun came all the way, he immediately stood up.
"Young Master Qin." After Qin Yun entered the hall, the thin young man said respectfully.
Qin Yun sat at the main seat, looked at the thin young man standing stiffly, nodded and said, "Sit."
Only then did the thin young man sit down, and continued to say: "I am Xia Chuyuan, a native of Chang County, Lianhai County. I originally practiced in Dongyang Temple in Chang County. Because I offended the Caowu Sect, Dongyang Temple expelled me from the temple... He was able to wander around, but now that he has heard of Mr. Qin’s reputation, he has come here to seek refuge, please take him in.”
"Dongyang Temple is only a third-rate practice sect, so naturally I dare not offend the Grass Witch Sect." Qin Yun nodded, "The Grass Witch Sect is indeed domineering, tell me, how did you offend the Grass Witch Sect? Don't lie, if I find out that there is even a little bit of fraud and deceive me, you should know the consequences."
"Yes." The skinny young man Chu Yuan nodded repeatedly, "How dare I bully Mr. Qin? Naturally, I am honest and dare not make up."
"Go ahead." Qin Yun nodded.
"I practiced wholeheartedly in Dongyang Temple in Chang County. When I occasionally walked in many surrounding counties, I would punish the evil when the road was uneven." The thin young man said, "I just didn't expect that one time to punish the evil would interrupt the life of a dude. One leg, but I didn't expect that dude to be the son of an elder from the Grass Witch Sect. The Grass Witch Sect sent people to deal with me. Fortunately, I escaped quickly, otherwise I would have died! The Grass Witch Sect also sent people to question me about Dongyang Guan, the temple master can't offend the grass witch sect, so he can only drive me out of the temple. Since then, I am no longer a disciple of Dongyang temple, and I also know that the temple master has nothing to do.
Qin Yun nodded: "Punish the evil? What did that dude do, you punish the evil?"
"He robbed the civilian girl by force, and took it directly to the carriage in broad daylight. When I found out, I was so angry that I rescued the girl and taught that rich boy and his guards a lesson." The skinny young man Chu Yuan continued, "I found out later that he is the son of Liu Zhen, the elder of the Grass Witch Sect. That Liu Zhen is a human witch with unpredictable witchcraft methods."
"I see." Qin Yun nodded, "How is your practice now?"
"I am practicing a Qi-refining method "Changqing Jue" in Dongyang Temple. If I practice it to the extreme, I can hope to be in the realm of innate real alchemy. However, the only person in my Dongyang temple who can step into the innate virtual alchemy is the master of the temple. As for me, I am now on the eleventh level of Qi refining." The thin young man said, "I usually major in two talismans, one is the 'green fire talisman', which is the most famous talisman in my Dongyang Temple, and the other is One is the 'One Qi Capture Technique', as for the other methods, most of them rely on some Dao Talismans."
Qin Yun nodded slightly.
This is the case with the small school, and even the spells they are good at are generally only a few.
The thin young man was nervously waiting for Qin Yun's reply. After all, he had offended the Grass Witch Sect and it was not easy to find a backer. The Grass Witch Sect has a rather vicious reputation in the entire Jiangzhou! After all, it is the only sect of witchcraft in Jiangzhou.
"From today onwards, you will stay in my Qin residence, with an annual salary of one thousand taels temporarily." Qin Yun said, "If you work diligently and well, I will also give you magic treasures."
"Yes, Chu Yuan will do his best to serve my Qin family and your son." The thin young man Chu Yuan was overjoyed.
Generally, if you hire a servant, the wages of ten or eight taels of silver a year are almost the same.
And it usually costs hundreds of taels of silver a year to hire a Qi-refining ninth-level master as a guard.
As for inviting practitioners
Pure silver usually costs over ten thousand taels.
But the real big clans, or big figures like county guards, have practitioners who are willing to take the initiative to seek refuge, and even the annual salary is not too high. why? It is because there are generally hidden books such as spells in the big clan! And many casual cultivators are seeking cultivation and have nowhere to go, so even if the annual salary is lower, they don't care.
It's even more different like the 'Qin family'. With Qin Yun as a patrol angel, it is stronger than ordinary second-rate sects!
If you take refuge, you have a big backer! And spells and treasures are expected in the future, just like joining a sect, even if no money is given, there are practitioners who are willing to join.
"Ah Gui, take Chu Yuan to see my father." Qin Yun ordered.
"Yes." Aguilian replied.
Chu Yuan's face was also full of smiles, he no longer had the troubles of the past, and retreated respectfully.
The reason why he came to seek refuge with the Qin family was because he heard... The family of the elders of the Grass Witch Sect, the "Motai Family", once offended the Qin family a little. After Qin Yun became a patrol angel, the Grass Witch Sect officially sent envoys to apologize , give a big gift! Obviously, no matter how powerful the Grass Witch Sect was, they would not want to be an enemy of Qin Yun Xun Angel at all, and would rather make an apology.
The enmity between him and an elder's son is completely insignificant to the Qin family.
"There are seven practitioners here, and I haven't deliberately recruited them yet." Qin Yun shook his head, "In a few years, there will probably be more than ten or twenty practitioners in the Qin Mansion, more than the average county guard recruits. .”
The family of patrol angels is naturally more attractive than a sheriff.
It is also a good thing that there are more practitioners in the Qin family, and the formation of the family will be more strictly guarded. Generally speaking, the Qin family can let practitioners come forward for many things!
*****
The days passed.
Qin Yun was also very surprised. It has been a month since the assassination of the poisonous old man, and there is no new trouble.
"The Zhongli clan won't just give up like that?" Qin Yun thought to himself, "Just send a perverted old man?"
"who cares."
"It's better to practice the natal flying sword with peace of mind. Tonight, you should be able to break through to the fifth rank." Qin Yun sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the silver flying sword floating in front of him.
He took off the Qiankun bag at his waist and opened the mouth of the bag.
Hoo hoo~~~
A large number of items flew out and piled up in a small pile in the house.
Following Qin Yun's operation of the art, the silver flying sword immediately began to absorb the essence of the many treasures below, and little bits of brilliance flew up and merged into the natal flying sword. As expected, it only took more than ten breaths of time to refine the silver flying sword. Feijian trembled suddenly, making a sound of sword groaning, and the refining speed suddenly increased sharply. The many treasures piled up in a pile below began to be turned into waste.
After a while, the sound of the sword chant stopped, and it stopped absorbing the essence of the treasures below.
At this moment, its whole body is pale silver, and its surface seems to be covered with a layer of clear water, giving it the agility of clear water flowing all the time. The original illusion of fog is gone, and it makes people feel that the flying sword is more concise.
"It's so beautiful, the natal flying sword has finally reached the fifth rank! I can use it to display the power of a third-rank magic weapon." Qin Yun looked at the flying sword in front of him, and there was a faint terrifying power accumulating in the flying sword. Qin Yun felt it He said, nodding slightly, "Even if I reach the realm of Sword Intent and upgrade my Flying Sword by one level, my strength has still increased by nearly 20%."
The same trick, the same sword intent, the flying sword can be faster! Power is more terrifying! This is the benefit of the magic weapon.
Moreover, the natal flying sword was completely conceived and formed by the 'Yinyu Sword Intent', so the tricks it uses to display the Misty Rain Sword Intent are also the most suitable.
The higher the realm, the higher the strength, and the 'Natural Flying Sword' must be strong enough to have a significant increase in strength. Just like a peerless sword fairy who has mastered the 'Doo of the Sword', there is not much difference in power between a tree branch and a magic weapon flying sword of the seventh rank or eighth rank. Because the magic weapon is too low, it is no longer helpful to the strength.
Even with the 'Doo of the Sword' conceived and nurtured, ordinary weapons can gradually be transformed into magic weapons.
Of course, Qin Yun is still far from that level.
"Huh." Qin Yun stretched out his hand, and the three-inch-long flying sword landed on his palm. Huh, the flying sword rapidly grew in size, soaring tenfold to three feet long.
Holding the flying sword in his hand, he got out of bed, opened the door and walked into the courtyard.
In the dark night, under the bright moon.
Qin Yun held the natal flying sword of the fifth grade, and displayed his misty rain swordsmanship to his heart's content.
