#223 - Treasures outside the island
Dragon Transformation Island.
Training room.
Outside the window, the sound of waves crashing against the reefs never ceases.
This doesn't feel noisy; on the contrary, it brings tranquility.
Half of the setting sun has already sunk below the horizon, its afterglow reflecting on the sea, making the cold seawater seem like molten lava.
The sunset glow in the sky is like fire, burning half the sky red, which foretells a good weather tomorrow.
Liang Jin sat in the training room, holding a newly arrived secret manual in his hands.
It was 《Hidden Dragon in the Abyss》, sent by Liang Qizhi, the commander of the Six扇门 in Dongzhou.
After obtaining the manual, Liang Jin had the Privy Elder copy a version.
According to the intelligence, the Privy Elder had long wanted to study this special manual.
As expected, the Privy Elder was overjoyed to receive the manual, which allowed Liang Jin to successfully gain some favor with him.
Liang Jin had also been studying this manual for the past two days and had cultivated it to the third level.
Its effects had also begun to manifest.
With Liang Jin's fifth-grade late-stage strength, under the effect of 《Hidden Dragon in the Abyss》, his external aura could be displayed at only the peak of the sixth grade.
This was almost an entire major realm lower.
“This martial art is truly interesting.”
“It's simply a divine skill for pretending to be weak to deceive others, feigning ignorance to slap faces!”
Liang Jin was also full of interest in this 《Hidden Dragon in the Abyss》.
Although warriors above the fifth grade couldn't completely conceal their aura after practicing it.
Liang Jin didn't have the need to completely conceal it either; he only needed to make his external aura appear lower than his actual level.
During these two days of practice, Liang Jin was finally free from supervision.
Li Xueqing, who used to supervise Liang Jin, had already lost her position as Law Enforcement Elder and was no longer qualified to supervise Liang Jin.
Although there was no one to supervise him, Liang Jin never stopped cultivating 《Hundred Evils Body Great Art》.
This martial art was very special; before reaching the ninth level, its effects were not very significant.
But once it reached the ninth level and the complete Hundred Evils Body was achieved, its power would suddenly increase by a large margin.
Liang Jin was also full of anticipation for this.
“Today's practice will stop here for now.”
“It's time to check the intelligence; the intelligence panel should have updated with new information, right?”
After finishing his practice, Liang Jin opened the panel.
As expected, new information had already been updated on the panel.
【Intelligence 1: Liang Qizhi, the commander of the Six扇门 in Dongzhou, has an opportunity for a promotion and transfer, but he lacks a large amount of funds to grease the wheels. Liang Qizhi is uneasy and dare not fight for this opportunity, and even dare not report this matter to you, fearing that this will lead to the loss of the Dragon Transformation Sect's trust in his loyalty.】
【Intelligence 2: The Zizhi Heart used by Hundred Flowers Hall to refine Dragon Scale Pills is about to run out, but they don't know that a mushroom called "Frilly Umbrella" can also be used as a substitute, and even has a better effect.】
Liang Jin was a little surprised to see these two pieces of intelligence.
He had obtained a lot of intelligence these days, but most of it was useless or couldn't be used directly.
And these two pieces of intelligence that were refreshed today seemed pretty good.
The first piece of intelligence was easy to deal with.
Whether Liang Qizhi was transferred or not wouldn't affect Liang Jin.
Although it would be more beneficial to the Dragon Transformation Sect if he stayed in Dongzhou.
Liang Jin preferred to have the resources in his own hands rather than in the sect's hands.
So Liang Jin would do him a favor, provide him with some funds, and then express his trust in him. Wouldn't he be grateful to Liang Jin in the future?
Anyway, the funds would come from the sect, and Liang Jin wouldn't have to spend a penny.
With Liang Jin's current power as the spy leader, he could mobilize a lot of money from the sect.
Spending the sect's money to earn his own favor, Liang Jin would certainly not miss such a good thing.
As for the second piece of intelligence, Liang Jin was even more skilled at it.
Since the sect was encountering a problem and he had a solution, he could just turn the tide at a critical moment and make a great contribution.
He had already used this kind of thing once in the Divine Dragon's illness incident, and he was already familiar with it.
“It seems like it's the same old routine again.”
“Although the routine is old, it's useful as long as it works.”
“But… what's the situation with my elixir?”
Liang Jin immediately thought of his elixir quota when he saw the Dragon Scale Pills mentioned in the intelligence.
Dragon Scale Pills were the elixir that disciples below the fifth grade in the sect could receive every month.
Because its refining required the use of Underworld Snakes from Myriad Dragon Valley, it got this name.
If a warrior's cultivation realm was too dependent on elixirs, it would easily lead to unstable realms and even cultivation deviation.
However, moderate use of elixirs as an aid not only had negligible side effects but could also increase the speed of cultivation.
Therefore, the disciples of the Dragon Transformation Sect would receive a certain amount of elixir quota every month to improve their practice efficiency.
For disciples of the fifth grade and above, Dragon Scale Pills were no longer effective, and they took another elixir called Dragon Saliva Pills.
However, because this elixir was precious, it needed to be approved by the Sect Master Yu Linglong herself before it could be distributed.
After Liang Jin learned about this situation, he immediately submitted an application for the elixir to the Sect Master.
But a strange thing happened.
After his application was submitted, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there had been no news of it.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this.
As the Sect Master's favorite, Liang Jin's application should have been easily approved, and these Dragon Saliva Pills were what he deserved.
Moreover, there had been no new favorites around the Sect Master recently, so she shouldn't have ignored Liang Jin.
Even.
A few days ago, because Li Xueqing was stripped of her position as Law Enforcement Elder, Sect Master Yu Linglong was worried that the Law Enforcement Hall's execution of the sect rules would be affected, so she specially sent Liang Jin to help for a while.
Liang Jin, of course, did his best when he went.
He extracted the essence of some excellent management systems he had learned in his previous life and made some improvements to the sect rules and management of the Dragon Transformation Sect.
This quickly showed obvious results.
The management of the Dragon Transformation Sect became more and more orderly, and some loopholes in the sect rules were also filled.
It can be said that from top to bottom, everyone praised Liang Jin.
This was originally a meritorious deed!
Under these circumstances, Sect Master Yu Linglong had even less reason to deprive Liang Jin of his monthly Dragon Saliva Pills.
This was strange.
“This woman's mind is really unpredictable!”
Liang Jin shook his head helplessly.
He could only wait until he had a chance to see Yu Linglong next time and ask her clearly in person.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
“Speaking of which, how can I find a way to leave this Dragon Transformation Island?”
Liang Jin couldn't help but feel troubled by this.
He didn't want to escape from Dragon Transformation Island at this time, but yesterday he obtained a piece of intelligence that could attract his attention:
【Intelligence 1: Dongzhou martial arts experts Shan Yongzhao and Ying Hongru fought to the death for the Zixiao Baoxuan Flower, and finally perished together under Orange Cliff. This place is sparsely populated. If no one goes to Orange Cliff to obtain the Zixiao Baoxuan Flower within five days, then this natural treasure that can increase thirty years of cultivation will completely rot and become ineffective.】
That was thirty years of cultivation!
If Liang Jin relied on daily check-ins, he didn't know how long it would take to get so much cultivation?
No wonder Liang Jin wasn't envious.
But now it was not easy to leave Dragon Transformation Island.
As the chief disciple, Liang Jin couldn't easily leave the island without a suitable reason.
But this reason was not easy to find.
It was even more impossible to sneak out of this vast sea. Even if Liang Jin was skilled in lightness skills, he didn't have the confidence to fly on the sea for so long.
It was not difficult to steal a boat to leave.
But doing so would lead to Liang Jin's complete break with the Dragon Transformation Sect.
This was what Liang Jin didn't want to see at the moment.
“Alas, I can only try using Liang Qizhi's matter as an excuse tomorrow.”
“Although the success rate is very low, it's better than nothing.”
As the spy leader, Liang Jin had no need to personally contact the spies.
He knew without thinking that if he made this request, Li Xueqing, who had been staring at him, would be the first to jump out and object.
The Sect Master's strange attitude towards him probably meant that she wouldn't approve it either.
But the natural treasure that could increase thirty years of cultivation was too tempting, and Liang Jin could only try his best to fight for it.
At this time, it was late, and Liang Jin left the training room and went back to sleep.
Everything would be dealt with together tomorrow.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Liang Jin was awakened by a disciple, saying that the Sect Master had asked him to go to the main hall for a meeting.
He thought of the second piece of intelligence in his mind, knowing that the time for him to show his skills had come.
Immediately, Liang Jin hurried to the main hall.
In the main hall.
A group of elders and deacons had already taken their seats.
After a while, accompanied by a faint fragrance, a peerless beauty gracefully arrived.
Sect Master Yu Linglong had also arrived.
Yu Linglong sat on the throne with a frosty face.
She had been in a bad mood these past two days.
Especially when her gaze fell on the tall, strong, and hateful bald head in the main hall, her mood worsened.
Xiongba!
This guy was really not reassuring at all.
Yu Linglong arranged for him to go to the Law Enforcement Hall, hoping that he could completely mess up the Law Enforcement Hall, thereby leading to the chaos of the sect.
But what was the result?
After this guy went and made some rectifications, the Law Enforcement Hall, in the absence of the Law Enforcement Elder, not only did not have problems, but became even more orderly.
Now the management of this sect was becoming more and more organized.
Yu Linglong sometimes couldn't help but wonder, where did this guy come from? Why didn't he have any professional ethics?
And she had no means to deal with this guy.
Yu Linglong let him cultivate 《Hundred Evils Body Great Art》, which was obviously to torture him.
But who knew that this guy would actually cultivate it smoothly.
This made Yu Linglong so angry that she directly deducted Liang Jin's monthly Dragon Saliva Pills.
But at this moment, Yu Linglong could only temporarily suppress her anger, after all, there were still many things to deal with today.
Immediately, Yu Linglong opened her mouth and said:
“Report if you have anything to report.”
Immediately, a group of people began to report things.
At the beginning, the reports were all about some unimportant things, just things that had been accumulated for many days that needed to be dealt with.
But soon, something important was finally reported.
Only to hear the Elder of Ceremonies report:
“Reporting to the Sect Master, recently, the disciples of our sect have repeatedly clashed with the Tide Sound Martial Pavilion in Dongzhou over the purchase of medicinal materials, and there have already been many deaths and injuries.”
“Now the disciples outside the island are requesting assistance from the sect, and I ask the Sect Master to decide.”
