Lu Yang took Qin Yuanhao's storage ring and shook his head regretfully after trying a few times.
"What a pity. This storage ring can only be opened by Qin Yuanhao himself. It's useless even if we get it. Forcing it open will only cause the internal space of the storage ring to be exiled, making it difficult to find."
"Let's go to his house and take a look. Maybe we can get something from it." Lu Yang asked the two to leave.
The ghost who tricked Qin Yuanhao to come here followed behind. Man Gu thought that the ghost did a good job and decided to reward him with two skewers of mutton - theoretically speaking, if the mutton skewers were burnt, the ghost would be able to eat them.
As for whether the minions ate well-roasted or burnt kebabs, it would have to be proven through practice.
Qin Yuanhao's house doesn't have much decoration. Living alone here, it seems empty and lifeless.
The three of them came to the training room. Apart from a jade statue, there were only two rows of bookshelves filled with many martial arts secrets.
The jade statue has a blurred face and is wearing a long robe, so it is impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman.
"This should be the belief of the Immortal Religion, the immortal immortal." Meng Jingzhou walked around the statue twice. The material of this statue was much stronger than ordinary statues, but the image was far worse.
Who doesn’t want their statues to be lifelike
"'Water Avoidance Technique', 'Introduction to Formation', 'Sword Technique Countermeasures'... these are all common techniques that can be found on the first floor of our Sutra Library." Lu Yang's hand slid across the back of the book. He really liked the feeling of slitting across the uneven back of the book.
"Common Ways to Please Your Boss, Human Heart, Intrigue, and all that crap."
Lu Yang picked up a book at random, which was "Common Ways to Please Your Boss". Even the corners of the book were curled up, and it was obvious that Qin Yuanhao had read it many times.
"Method one: become a family member of your boss. Depending on your age and ability, you can set your target as your boss, or your boss's children."
Qin Yuanhao made a note on the side: The helmsman never takes off his mask, his identity is unknown, his gender is unknown, he cannot be approached, and he cannot be married.
"Method 2: Give treasures. High-profile treasures will make the giver look high-profile, which is not pleasing to others. It is recommended to give your boss a low-profile and expensive gift."
Qin Yuanhao made a note on the side: I borrowed money to buy a jade chair for the captain, I hope it will be useful.
"Method three: cultivate interests. Pay attention to your boss' interests and cultivate the same interests as your boss."
Qin Yuanhao made a note on the side: The helmsman's hobby is fishing. The helmsman and I went fishing by the river. I caught more fish than the helmsman. I hope the helmsman will not be jealous of my talent.
"Method 4..."
"Method Five..."
Qin Yuanhao tried very hard to please the helmsman, but the results were not very good.
“It seems that it’s not easy to get along inside the Demon Cult.” Lu Yang sighed with some amusement.
However, thanks to Qin Yuanhao's notes, Lu Yang had a simple understanding of the helmsman and the deacons.
"From the lowest to the highest level, there are ordinary followers, deacons, and helmsmen. There are many ordinary followers, ranging from the Qi training stage to the foundation building stage. It is difficult for ordinary followers to access the secrets of the Immortal Sect."
"Only those who have passed the assessment in the Foundation Establishment Stage can become deacons. There are twelve deacons in the entire Yanjiang Helm. Now that Qin Yuanhao has passed away, there are eleven left."
"The identity of the helmsman is unknown. He is at the Jindan stage, and his exact level of cultivation is unknown. He likes fishing."
In addition, the three also found scattered spirit stones, and several books on spells that did not look like they were learned by righteous people, such as hypnosis, sex arts, etc., which were not worth mentioning.
"Let's go. It's time to prepare for the Demon Cult test in nine days."
…
At the border of Yanjiang County, countless taciturn monks shuttled through the depths of the dense forest. The mottled light shining on their expressionless faces made them look somewhat eerie.
Each monk was far apart from each other, wary of each other, secretly ready to strike. Once they saw the other side slacking off, they would launch a surprise attack in an effort to reduce the number of competitors.
They were all people from the magic world who knew the test location through various channels and rushed to Yanjiangdu in advance.
Under the attack from the righteous, their living space is shrinking. If they want to obtain more resources, they have to join a large organization. Yanjiangduo has become their primary target.
In the past, one had to have a deacon’s recommendation to join the cult, and for this one had to bribe the deacon.
This time is different. Everyone has a chance. This is the only good opportunity to join the Demon Cult in the past thirty years.
An hour before the test was to begin, most of the demonic cultivators had arrived.
"Look, isn't that Chi Xulong, who slaughtered an entire family overnight, not even sparing a mouse, and then left in full view of everyone!"
A sturdy man was holding the leg bone of an unknown monster in his hand. He looked like a savage, with bronze skin, bulging muscles, scarred arms, and a grin that revealed two wolf-like teeth.
Chi Xulong is extremely famous among the independent cultivators of the magic sect. He is arrogant and domineering. He has survived many killing sprees and even upgraded during battles. It can be said that he becomes more courageous as the battle goes on and never dies!
"Chi Xulong, I didn't expect you to come here too." A pale-faced scholar waved a paper fan and teased Chi Xulong.
Chi Xulong snorted coldly: "Oh, Shen Jinyi, you are a teacher, why don't you go to school to teach and come here? No one here needs you to teach!"
"What, he is Shen Jinyi who opened a school to teach people how to kill people?!" Someone heard Chi Xulong calling the pale-faced scholar Shen Jinyi, exclaimed, and moved away.
Shen Jinyi was indeed a teacher, but what he taught was not the Confucian classics, history, and miscellaneous books, but how to kill people efficiently and secretly.
He has trained countless killers, and he is also a ruthless person that is feared by the wandering practitioners of the evil way.
Don’t be fooled by Shen Jinyi’s smiling and fragile appearance. If you really piss him off, you won’t even know how you died!
"Killers? They are nothing but a group of cowards who dare not show their faces." The swordsman, who was carrying a man-high and wide sword on his back, curled up a cold smile at the corner of his mouth and did not take the killer Shen Jinyi seriously.
Shen Jinyi was about to retort, but when he saw the swordsman's true face, he swallowed his words and uttered a few words through his teeth: "One zhang of red!"
"Why am I calling you grandpa?" Yizhanghong looked at Shen Jinyi's murderous eyes with disdain and even spat.
Some of the demon cultivators widened their eyes. Those who came here were all well-known figures in the world. "It turned out to be Yizhanghong, who would draw blood within ten feet! It is rumored that he is invincible in hand-to-hand combat. Even the half-step Jindan stage masters are unwilling to fight him easily!"
In addition to these three people, there were also many well-known villains. They were on the government's list and had a high reward, but no one dared to offend them for fear of being killed.
When these evil people gathered together, the others thought they were not strong enough, so they stood far away and did not even have the courage to speak loudly.
Suddenly, the appearance of three people attracted everyone's attention. One person was walking in the middle with a sword on his back. The one on the left seemed to be a Confucian cultivator, holding the words of a sage in his hands. The one on the right had a bright smile on his face, like a madman.
The three of them were silent, staring straight ahead, paying no attention to anyone else. They didn't take these random demonic cultivators seriously at all, and their aura was extremely powerful.
"Who is that? Do you know him?"
"I don't know him, but he looks like someone quite important."
The three of them walked straight through the crowd and came to the front. Finally, they muttered something like "immortal immortals", opened the stone wall, and pretended to take out tables, chairs and benches from the other side of the stone wall, but in fact they took them out from the jade pendant.
Chi Xulong and others thought: "The one who can open the stone wall seems to be a member of the Demon Sect."
After sitting down, the man with the sword coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention.
He said in a clear voice: "My name is Lu Yang, these two are Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu, the three of us are the examiners for this selection. Now we will start the selection of the Immortal Cult members. Line up and report your personal information."
