Chapter 163 The Neckless Monk

There were also three middle-aged men walking under the tree. They were all in their thirties, with a difference of two or three years at most. They were all dressed like ordinary warriors. The first two were at the eighth level of Kaimai Realm, and the last one was at the seventh level.

The one in front was tall, with seven rings, one large and six small, on his neck and arms. It seemed to be an uncommon unique magic weapon. The one in the middle was thin, with a soft whip wrapped around his waist. The last one was sturdy, and his body size was comparable to that of the monk without a neck. He seemed to be a strongman, carrying a bronze bell more than one foot high on his shoulder.

Lu Dingshan had met with the other teammates in advance, and he knew all of them, so he first whispered to Qingyang to introduce the teammates who arrived earlier than them.

The doctor carrying the medicine box was the itinerant doctor Zheng Guangming, and the monk was the neckless monk Dongfang Liang. The two were old friends for many years and had always been inseparable. This time they joined the team together.

The other three were fellow apprentices. The one with the ring on his body was the eldest brother Yuan Datong, the one with the whip on his waist was Shen Ertong, and the one carrying the bronze bell was the younger brother Zhong Santong. These three were originally disciples of a small sect of immortal cultivation. Later, the sect was disbanded, and they came to Yuling City to live together.

The whole team originally had ten people, and after Qingyang joined, it became eleven. There were still two people who had not arrived. According to Lu Dingshan, they were mother and daughter. The mother's husband's surname was Yun, and she had been dead for many years, leaving them to depend on each other, the mother Yun Da Niang, and the daughter Yun Xiaomei.

The neckless monk Dongfang Liang seemed to have heard the conversation between Qingyang and the two captains. He came up and looked Qingyang up and down, and said: "Are you the casual cultivator Qingyang who insisted on temporarily strengthening our team? With the cultivation level of the fifth level of Kaimai Realm, you dare to enter Yuling Mountain. You are very brave!"

"It's me! The road to immortal cultivation is difficult. One step late will lead to another. The Immortal Knocking Conference is about to begin, so I can't care so much." Qingyang said.

Dongfang Liang said, "It doesn't matter if I take you with me, but you have to understand that we are all strangers and no one owes anyone anything. We will not only not take special care of you along the way, but if you hold us back at a critical moment, we will not show you mercy!"

The other party was telling the truth, and Qingyang did not expect these people to take too much care of him. In this world, apart from his master, Taoist Songhe, there should be no third person who would risk his life for him, so everything depends on himself, and just don't do anything behind his back at a critical moment.

Qingyang nodded and said, "I know, I am already grateful for taking me into the mountain. I will not ask you to take special care of me. If I can gain something from this trip and finally become a fairy, I will not forget your help."

As soon as Qingyang said this, Shen Ertong, who was wearing a whip, suddenly sneered and said, "What does the Immortal Knocking Conference have to do with you, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Kaimi Realm? A small cultivator in the fifth level of the Kaimai Realm also wants to obtain the items of the fairy mission? It's really wishful thinking."

"Yes, it's obvious that a cultivator in the middle stage of the Kaimai Realm and us, cultivators in the late stage of the Kaimai Realm, are going into the mountain to take advantage of us. It's really unreasonable." Zhong Santong, who was carrying a bronze bell next to him, also said.

Although the words of these two people are unpleasant, they also make sense. Qingyang had long expected that the attitude of other team members towards him would not be too friendly, and he was mentally prepared. Besides, his cultivation was the lowest, and it was useless to get angry, but it would cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

Qingyang said calmly: "The immortal path is vast and no one can predict what will happen in the future. Although my cultivation is low, I have entered Yuling Mountain, so there is always a chance, right?"

As soon as Qingyang finished speaking, the middle-aged scholar He Lanfeng suddenly said: "Yes, yes, what Daoyou Qingyang said is really good. If I had this insight at the beginning, I might have been a Qigong cultivator long ago, and I wouldn't have been stuck in the ninth level of Kaimai Realm and unable to break through."

"Yes, the opportunities of heaven are unpredictable. Some people have good qualifications, some have high comprehension, some have many opportunities, and some have good luck. We can't envy these. The only thing we can do is to seize every opportunity to go against the will of heaven. Daoyou Qingyang has this insight at a young age, and his future is limitless. His future achievements may be higher than ours." The middle-aged man Duan Rushong also nodded and said.

After being praised by the two captains, Qingyang felt a little embarrassed and said, "You are too kind. How can a young man like me compare with you?"

After being interrupted by Helanfeng and Duan Rushong, the Shen Ertong brothers could not say anything too unpleasant. They just snorted and said, "Anyway, I am not convinced. We have all discussed and divided the harvest into fourteen parts. Except for the two captains, each of them has three parts, and everyone else has one part. How to divide it with one more person?"

Yes, everyone had originally divided it, and now there is an additional person, and he is a burden with a lower cultivation level than everyone else. Who would be willing to give up the benefits they have obtained?

Duan Rusong pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Helan, I think we should give half of the profit to fellow Daoist Qingyang, so that others will have nothing to say. Moreover, half a share is not much, and it is shared by two people, so it will not affect the overall situation."

This method does not cause any loss to others, and Qingyang only has half a share, which is half less than the others, so he can't even feel jealous. You know, Zhong Santong, who is at the seventh level of Kaimai Realm, also got a share. For the two captains, they each have three shares, which is an advantage in itself. They only need to give one eighth each, which is not a big impact.

"Well, I agree with Daoyou Duan's proposal." He Lanfeng nodded.

The two captains who suffered a little loss agreed, and naturally the others had nothing to say. As for Qingyang, he also knew that his cultivation was too low and he had no say in this matter. As long as it did not damage his own interests too much, he could only accept what others said. Fortunately, the two captains took good care of him, and this condition was not too harsh.

In short, after some contact, Qingyang concluded that among the three gangs at the scene, the itinerant doctor Zheng Guangming and the neckless monk Dongfang Liang were indifferent to him, with an attitude of "no more, no less"; the three brothers Shen Ertong were somewhat repulsive to him, and their attitude was not very friendly; while the two captains took good care of him.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Aunt Yun and her daughter also came to the mountain. Aunt Yun was an old woman in her sixties with silver hair and wrinkles on her face, but from her figure and temperament, it can be vaguely judged that Aunt Yun should have been a rare beauty when she was young.
