Chapter 5 The Tiger in the Seventeenth Hole
The path to immortality for cultivators is difficult every step of the way.
A little carelessness can lead to death.
Many monks realize that they cannot go any further, so they choose to find a way out for themselves, withdrawing from the immortal path little by little to find a place of peace of mind for themselves.
And Li Dahu, who is in the Seventeenth Hole of the Soul Cliff, is such a monk. He is nearly fifty this year and has been stuck on the ninth level of Qi Refining for decades.
Li Dahu, who had no hope of breaking through, came to Jiehun Cliff to accumulate some capital for retirement.
The sect also acquiesces to the existence of disciples like Li Dahu.
The source of many settlements at the foot of the mountain are these retired disciples.
To a certain extent, acquiescing to their existence is also cultivating the future of the sect.
Besides, disciples like Li Dahu are extremely diligent in their work.
After all, they are working hard for their future, and they will not be lazy.
These old disciples, both in terms of work experience and hard work, are far superior to ordinary disciples.
Take this Li Dahu, for example, who has been hanging around in the Soul Cliff for decades.
He is experienced and has even developed his own method of acupoint exploration.
So Li Dahu is not just working here at Soul Holding Cliff, he is saving a pension for himself.
The agreement reached between Li Dahu and the former deacon elder of Soul Holding Cliff was to draw one out of ten.
In other words, for every ten things he gets from the corpse, Li Dahu can extract one thing from it.
This profit is quite huge!
In just a few years, Li Dahu saved dozens of spiritual stones by making money from dead people.
At first, Li Dahu was a little worried when he heard that he was taking the soul cliff to replace the elder.
Later, he spent some spiritual stones and opened up some relationships, and Li Dahu suddenly felt stable again.
Jiang Liang, who was only in the late stage of foundation building and had no background, could actually get such a lucrative job.
He is afraid that he will bet all his wealth on this soul-holding cliff, and he wants to make a big gamble so that he can reach the level of Danjie! In this case, he has to beg himself!
You know, although this soul holding cliff is a bad job, it also has indicators.
Since the establishment of the Dahe Sect, the rules have been strict. Not to mention Jiang Liang, a foundation-building elder, even the Danjie elders must abide by the rules.
If he fails to achieve the sect's goals, Jiang Liang will not be able to escape punishment.
If he wants to fulfill his sect's goals, or even make money from the ocean, Jiang Liang will have to find a veteran like me to cooperate!
I, Li Dahu, am the only one left who is an expert in holding the soul cliff.
Without my help, would Jiang Liang rely on those handyman disciples? Or...is he planning to do it himself? I, Li Dahu, can find a good place to go after leaving Soul Holding Cliff, but where is he, Jiang Liang? Jiang Liang's fortune and life were all staked on this soul-holding cliff.
After thinking about this, Li Dahu looked proud.
Now that Jiang Liang's weakness has been guessed, Li Dahu can't handle it well? Facing Jiang Liang's visit, Li Dahu directly extended his palm.
He opened his palms and then made a one sign.
Draw one out of five.
Facing Li Dahu's difficulties, Jiang Liang walked away directly.
One out of five?
Li Dahu!You are not afraid of losing your life!
Although Jiang Liang hated it so much, he really couldn't help it.
Strictly speaking, Li Dahu was not the one holding Soul Cliff hostage, he was just here in his name.
Otherwise, Li Dahu would not dare to provoke Jiang Liang like this.
Facing Jiang Liang's departure, Li Dahu did not panic at all.
What are you panicking about? What is there to panic about?
Jiang Liang will definitely come back.
As a result, Yin Shiqi's incident happened the next day.
All fools know that this Yin Shiqi must be a big fat sheep. Such a fat sheep was directly pushed into the seventeenth hole.
After all, Li Dahu is experienced and has exquisite skills. There is no more suitable choice except him.
But facing such a fat sheep, Li Dahu said he was not sure and did not dare to use the knife.
When the news reached the top, Jiang Liang smashed the long case in front of him into pieces with one palm.
How brave! It’s okay for Hai Dafu from the Handyman Department to bully me, but you, a small outer disciple, dare to take advantage of me! Angry and furious, Jiang Liang slowly sat back down after smashing the long the Dahe Sect, you must abide by the rules.
And under the current circumstances, he couldn't completely fall out with Li Dahu.
Li Dahu can hand over the soul stone to replace his inaction, but what about Jiang Liang? As the deacon of Soul Holding Cliff, if he cannot achieve his set goal, what will the sect think of him?
Do you really want to agree to that guy's five-for-one draw?
Jiang Liang would not agree to it, let alone one out of five, even one out of ten.
He, Jiang Liang, came to the Soul Holding Cliff to make a fortune, not to lose money.
While hesitating here, Jiang Liang thought of the bold handyman disciple.
——Xia Ming.
That brave boy seems to have an abnormal speed of exploration...
Might as well?
Let him try?
After a slight hesitation, Jiang Liang directly sent an inspection envoy to arrange the matter.
At the same time, Li Dahu also heard the news in No. 17 Corpse Cave.
Watching all this happen quietly, the corner of Li Dahu's mouth slowly raised a sneer.
Sent to the 37th hole?
A mere handyman disciple? Jiang Liang, Jiang Liang, are you seeking medical treatment for an emergency?
Huh...huh.
Jiang Liang, I'm waiting here for you to come back and beg me.
……
There was a crisp clang.
Xia Ming put down the slender bayonet in his hand.
Looking at the scattered objects in the lacquer tray, Xia Ming let out a long sigh of relief.
This Yin Shiqi... is really fat! While sighing, Xia Ming heard another whisper coming from outside the cave.
"Let's go, follow me to see Elder Jiang."
Stepping into the cave, he casually glanced at the objects on the lacquer plate, and the black-robed patrolman's eyes could not help but tighten slightly.
Good guy! This kid is not easy!
In just two hours, six places were opened, five places were shipped, and twenty items were obtained.
Elder Jiang Liang really found a treasure this time.
If the patrolman knew that Xia Ming actually took less than an hour, he would probably be shocked.
Following the footsteps of the patrol envoy, Xia Ming walked up the winding stone steps step by step.
When he reached the second floor, Xia Ming saw a pair of sinister eyes in a cave.
Half of the man's body was hidden in the darkness, like a prostrate and devouring tiger.
Looking up, Xia Ming saw three big characters, Cave Seventeen.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Ming continued walking upward.
Go to the top floor and take one step, the world is vast.
The setting sun at the end just fell on Xia Ming's face, and the free wind teased the young man's heartstrings little by little.
Taking a greedy breath of fresh air, Xia Ming looked back at the twists and turns below.
Clenching his fists tightly, Xia Ming vowed that one day, he would get out of this hellish place.
Waiting outside Jiang Liang's quiet room, Xia Ming, who was in a daze, accidentally saw his bloody fingers again.
For a moment, Xia Ming fell into a trance several times.
There was a time when he didn't even dare to kill a chicken.
But now, he has started this business.
I have to say that humans are extremely complex animals.
In order to survive and live better, they will become extremely terrifying.
