After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 18. The leather master is not inferior to the talisman master
Calabash Valley.

The evil wolves, whose minds had been invaded by ghosts, had red eyes and were frantically tearing at fresh flesh and blood.

You tore off a piece of thigh, and I took away a head. Red blood splattered and dyed the yellow earth. The nose, eyes, and ears on the face of the head soon became bloody and bumpy, with the white bones exposed, and it was hard to see clearly.

These people were "qualified disciples" in the leather workshop before yesterday, and they had a higher status. However, they became food for the evil wolf because they failed a test.

Evil beasts are different from demon beasts.

Sha beasts are ordinary wild beasts that are attacked by ghosts.

The monsters are just like the cultivators, they have entered the realm.

This place seems to be quite close to the core of the Earthly Evil, so even though it is not yet night, there is a faint red glow floating on the ground. This is the reason why the Evil Wolf is formed.

At this time, even though other servants had died tragically, Xu Changjun was safe and sound. Although he was not yet able to fly with a sword, the ten meridians in his body were already filled with mysterious energy. If he ran, even the evil beasts could not catch up with him, so he was not panicked.

“I didn’t expect that I would be forced to carry out such a dangerous mission just to hide my strength.

What bad luck.

However, this mission is clearly asking me to die.
Well, the mission has failed. Let's go back to Jianmen and report the situation here to the master."

Xu Changjun was very indifferent.

He turned around, took a detour and headed in another direction, but before he had gone far, he suddenly felt the sky darken.

Xu Changjun looked up hurriedly, only to see a giant puppet elephant that swelled up in the wind, and in an instant it fell several feet from the sky, and stomped its hoof on him, hitting him hard.

Unimaginable and exaggerated power came from the hooves of the giant shadow puppet elephant.

'Who?

How is it possible? ! ! '

Fear flashed across Xu Changjun's pupils. He felt that the mysterious energy around him was crushed and his flesh and blood were torn apart. In almost an instant, he lost all perception.

Bang! !

The tattered body of flesh and blood crashed into the yellow earth of the valley, submerged in the cracked ground that was stained with red.

A middle-aged man in a white robe fell from the sky and landed next to the giant shadow elephant.

This is none other than the master of Nanzhu Peak - Cheng Danqing.

But at this moment, Cheng Danqing's expression was very strange. He was far from the feeling of a teacher on the top of the mountain. Instead, he revealed an indescribable weirdness and gloom.

If Zhang Yin were here, he would find that Master was so strange at this moment.

Cheng Danqing's mind moved, and the giant shadow puppet elephant rolled up Xu Changjun's body and sent it to the place deep inside the gourd mouth where the evil spirit was even stronger.

There are also many ghosts hiding in the shadows along the way.

However, none of the ghosts attacked Cheng Danqing.

"Junior Sister Qi, Junior Brother Song, in short, we have only two tasks at Nanzhu Peak now.

One is to follow the arrangement of the eldest brother and go to Qingxi Market in the northwest of my Puppet Sect to buy monster skins.

Qingxi Market is not the territory of our Puppet Sect, but a market where independent cultivators gather. Only such a market can continuously supply a large number of monster skins.

The other one stayed with me at Nanzhu Peak and made shadow puppets with monster skins. This task was very boring, no different from the previous menial work. He didn't get any exposure to the world and couldn't get any training.

But, there has to be someone to do every job, right? "

How do you choose? "

After teaching the complete version of "The Art of Guiding Mysterious Energy", Zhang Yin began to assign tasks.

Song Yan was speechless in his heart, thinking that Senior Brother Zhang was too good at acting. It was obviously a safe job, but he had to hide it and criticize it for no good reason. If he had not heard what Wang Susu said in advance, he would have hesitated.

He secretly glanced at Qi Yao beside him.

Ms. Qi's eyes were wide open, as if she was also thinking.

Song Yan actually discovered that Qi Yao was abnormal a long time ago.

After all, which servant would know so much about cultivation? Which servant would use a "secret code" to get together with his own furnace? Which servant would be sad for a long time in the leather workshop after his own furnace died tragically? And which demon sect disciple would be extremely angry after hearing him say "very smooth"?

In all likelihood, Lady Qi is a genuine good person, and there's no guarantee that she's just that "stupid cannon fodder spy" from the Nanwu Jianmen.

Song Yan was not averse to good people, so he wanted to open his mouth and ask Senior Brother Zhang a question like "Is it dangerous to go to Qingxi City?", so that Lady Qi would understand that "You haven't even started your infiltration plan yet, and if you go to a place like that where there is a meat grinder where truth and falsehood are mixed and identities are hard to distinguish, can you come back alive?"

He opened his mouth.

But there was no time to say it.

Qi Yao had already said: "Brother, I am going to Qingxi Market to buy monster skins."

"it is good!"

Zhang Yin praised, then looked at Song Yan and said, "Junior brother is also going to Qingxi City Square, right?"

Song Yan waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, brother. I plan to make shadow puppets of monsters." "It's very boring." Zhang Yin frowned.

Song Yan said: "No matter how boring it is, someone has to do it."

"You won't get any training doing this kind of thing," Zhang Yin said earnestly.

Song Yan said: "To be honest, I really like this job. As the saying goes, love what you do."

After that, he said, "Oh, by the way, Senior Brother, Qingxi City Square."

Zhang Yin snorted, interrupted him, and said, "That's all for today. You will practice and adapt on your own, and start carrying out missions in three months."

After saying this, he floated away, and the matter was finally settled.

There were only two people left in the stone building.

Qi Yao turned around and was about to leave.

Song Yan said in silence: "Miss Qi, Qingxi City is dangerous."

Qi Yao turned her head to look at him and asked, "How do you know?"

"intuition."

Song Yan said as he walked outside. When he reached the door, he said, "It should still be in time to ask Senior Brother Zhang for help now."

"No need." Qi Yao replied.

She was just about to pass on information, how could she miss such a good opportunity?

There are many benefits to becoming a formal disciple of Nanzhu Peak.

Monthly fixed contribution points: 10 points.

Fixed monthly practice elixir: 1 Xiaoxuanling Pill.

Each successful production of a low-level monster shadow puppet: 10 points.

A cave dwelling on the edge of the remaining veins of the Xuanmai.

Enjoy the benefits provided by the sect such as "furnace and cauldron".

As the training time gets longer, you can also choose spells to practice, including the Shadow Puppet Sect's unique basic secret technique - Skin Controlling.

The official disciple that Song Yan saw in the leather workshop before was riding on a two-headed wolf shadow puppet, going up and down the cliffs, and casually summoning a shadow puppet to pull a cart to transport a corpse. That was the art of controlling skin.

He was in no hurry because he knew he should have six years left.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye. During this period, in addition to pretending to practice, Song Yan also truly practiced the behavior of "loving what he does". He went to the menial work room every day to get animal skins to make shadow puppets.

Zhang Yin thought he was just talking, but after seeing Song Yan's "March is the same as a day" performance, he was really shocked.
He had never seen any formal disciple go to the menial work room and do his original job during the "rest period".

Three months later, Zhang Yin even patted Song Yan on the shoulder and asked in astonishment and affectionately: "Boy, do you really like leatherworking?"

Song Yan said: "This may be my lifelong hobby."

Zhang Yin "tsk tsk" for a long time, and then said: "Strange, I have seen many disciples coming out of the menial room, and those disciples wanted to vomit when they saw the animal skins, but you are different."

As he spoke, he changed the subject and said, “However, leatherworking is not just a hobby, it also depends on talent.

You know those people who draw talismans?

I tell you, real leatherworking is a more advanced method than drawing talismans.

The value of a leather master to the sect is far higher than that of a talisman master.

If you not only like it but also have talent for it, then I can recommend one or two to you and let you try.

If successful, it will be an opportunity to make further progress."

Song Yan said solemnly: "Then Junior Brother, you should also make the animal skins for me, right?"

Zhang Yin was stunned.

Song Yan said softly: "It should be Senior Brother's contribution points, and it still belongs to Senior Brother."

"Oh~~~" Zhang Yin suddenly realized, staring at this extremely talented junior brother with wide eyes, and said, "It's a pity that we met too late! It's a pity that we met too late! Come on, junior brother, let's not talk about anything else first, go and make a monster shadow puppet and try. Although I am just a skilled worker, I should be able to teach you something."

Song Yan nodded and followed Zhang Yin into a leather-making cave.

Zhang Yin was in front and he was behind.

Zhang Yin's words made him understand the existence of "Leather Master".

Obviously, in addition to simple leather making, the "leather master" can also make real shadow puppets that can move, kill, and fight.

This is a "technical worker".

Song Yan was a little moved.
