This monk is a bit mean

Chapter 301 The True Function of the Crystal Core

The giant scorpion ghost outside the magic circle still underestimated the strength of an adult monk who had nowhere to vent his animal nature.

An adult monk doesn't need any help from two little followers.

Just use your iron fist to teach this giant scorpion how to be a scorpion.

The adult monk forcibly stuffed the giant scorpion's tail into its mouth.

No one knew how many times the monk punched it, but it was almost dying.

The scary black monk finally got off its body.

"Phew, it feels good! The rest is up to you!" The monk got off the giant scorpion and spoke to the two boys and girls in the magic circle.

"What happened just now?" Meng Ling'er couldn't believe his eyes. He asked Ning Zhi, a young man beside him who was also stunned.

"My uncle subdued this monster by himself!" Ning Zhi replied.

"He's so powerful, why does he make it so complicated? Setting up formations and casting talismans, why not just boil shit... no... cook food, and then lure the ghosts over and let him deal with them alone?" Meng Ling'er didn't understand.

"I didn't know at first that I could defeat it. That's why I asked you to set up the formation to be on the safe side." Monk Yunshu replied to Meng Ling'er after venting his animal nature.

"Okay, Xiaozhi, go kill that evil beast, then put away the magic circle, and we'll set up the pot somewhere else." Yunshu instructed Ning Zhi.

Ning Zhi flashed to the side of the giant scorpion that had completely lost its resistance.

The giant scorpion looked at Ning Zhi with a look that said, "Please give me a quick death."

Ning Zhi shook the sword in his hand and pierced directly through the fatal point in the giant scorpion's abdomen.

The giant scorpion let out a low groan as if it was relieved, then turned into a ghostly aura and disappeared in front of Ning Zhi.

Only a fist-sized black ball remained on the ground.

Just as Ning Zhi was about to pick up the black ball, his vision suddenly blurred.

A yellow figure took the lead and picked up the fist-sized black ball.

"What is this black ball? Why are you trying to steal it?" Yun Shu frowned slightly and asked Xiang Mengling'er first.

He remembered that the black ball on the giant clam was also taken away by this girl.

Meng Ling'er put her hands behind her back, looked at Yun Shu with wide eyes, and said nothing.

"If you don't tell us, we won't take you with us!" Yun Shu threatened.

Meng Linger bit her lip and finally said, "This is the crystal core from the ghost's body. After I refine it, it will be beneficial to my spiritual pupils!"

Of course Yunshu would not easily believe this girl's lies.

He stretched out his hand to Meng Ling'er and said, "Give it to me and let me see it."

Meng Ling'er reluctantly handed the fist-sized black ball in her hand to Yun Shu.

"And give me the giant clams too. I want to make a comparison!" Yun Shu continued in an unnegotiable tone.

Meng Ling'er snorted, then took out the watermelon-sized black ball from her Qiankun bag and handed it to Yunshu.

Yunshu took two black balls of different sizes and looked at them over and over again, but he still couldn't figure out what they were.

But you can't show that you don't understand!

It would be so embarrassing to be laughed at by this little girl in front of me.

So, Yun Shu pretended to look through it a few more times, and then said, "Well, it is indeed good for your spiritual pupils, you should keep it!"

"Xiaozhi, do you have any objection?" He then asked Xiang Ningzhi hypocritically.

"No comment!"

Of course Ning Zhi had no objection!

Meng Ling'er happily put the two black balls back into her Qiankun bag.

Then she asked Xiang Yunshu: "Second brother-in-law, if you have any more crystal cores of this ghost creature later, can you give them all to me?"

"As long as you stop calling me second brother-in-law, I will agree to it!"

"Okay, second brother-in-law!"

……

Second brother-in-law Yun Shu continued to lead Ning Zhi and Meng Ling'er forward in this secret realm full of illusions of evil spirits.

Before this, all the evil spirits in a large area near the place where they set up the formation had been eliminated by them.

Now, they have to find another place where evil spirits gather.

Then I cooked some food to lure him in and see if I could attract another Foundation Establishment-level ghost.

As they walked, they met another group of monks who were taking part in the initiation trial.

A total of four people.

Among them was a bearded man with a face full of flesh, one was an old woman, one was a beautiful young woman, and the last one was a little girl who was about the same age as Meng Ling'er.

"It's a pleasure to meet you three fellow Taoists!" The bearded man took the initiative to greet Yun Shu and the other two after seeing them.

"Nice to meet you!" Yun Shu said with a smile and clasped his fists.

During this period of time, Yunshu always had a premonition that his identity as a monk might bring him some unnecessary trouble.

His premonitions were always accurate.

So he no longer used the identity of a monk to outsiders.

Yunshu changed his hands from being clasped together to being fists.

"I don't know. What are your names?" the bearded man asked, still maintaining a polite attitude.

"Nanlin City, Yunshu!"

"Ning Zhi!"

"Meng Ling'er!"

"Oh, so you're a fellow Taoist from Nanlin City. We're all from Xiwa City, and we're scholars in Xiaguan." The bearded man clasped his fists.

"The Wen family!" the old woman said indifferently.

"My name is Tian Qiaoqiao!" The beautiful young woman threw a coquettish glance at Yun Shu, then covered her mouth and chuckled.

"My name is Li Xiaoqin!" The little girl puffed out her chest and tilted her head.

Guan Wenshi, a big man with curly beard, seemed to be very talkative. After the two groups of people introduced themselves, he said, "Fellow Daoists, have you collected all the crystal cores?"

"Gather all the crystal cores? What does that mean?" Yun Shu shook his head and asked Guan Wenshi.

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you here to take part in the entrance trial?"

"I'm here to take part in the entrance trial."

"Then how can you pass the first level if you don't collect crystal cores?" Guan Wenshi asked puzzledly.

Yunshu: ???

"Pass? Crystal core?" Yun Shu still shook his head.

Guan Wenshi looked at Yun Shu as if he saw a fool.

But he still patiently explained: "Before participating in the trial, you will know it if you do a little homework. The way to pass this first level is to collect illusion crystal cores in the secret realm. When a person collects three, he will automatically enter the next level."

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts!" ​​Yunshu clasped his fists and bowed to Guan Wenshi.

Then he turned around and found that Meng Ling'er had hidden behind Ning Zhi at some point.

"Meng Ling'er! Get out here!" Yun Shu rubbed his back teeth and said angrily in a low voice.

"Oh..." Meng Ling'er lowered her head, moved out from behind Ning Zhi, then stared at her toes, not daring to look up.

"Didn't you say that the crystal core is beneficial to your spiritual pupil cultivation? Why do others say that it is the key to entering the second level?"

Yunshu didn't want to make the family's disgrace known, so he tried to keep his voice down.

"I forgot...forgot..." Meng Ling'er lowered her head even more.

"you're lying!"

"I didn't! Didn't you also say that those crystal cores would be beneficial to my spiritual pupil cultivation?" Meng Ling'er said.

"Uh...but you didn't say that you can enter the next level if you collect three crystal cores!"

"Second brother-in-law, I really don't know about this!" Meng Ling'er started to play the family card.

Guan Wenshi, a bearded man, saw that Yunshu was having an internal conflict. He walked up to Yunshu and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what happened?"

"Haha, it's nothing. The younger generation at home was a little upset!" Yun Shu made up an excuse.

"Fellow Daoist, the ghosts in this secret realm that can produce crystal cores are all at the foundation-building stage. We still have to unite as one, so that we can successfully obtain the crystal cores and pass the level." Guan Wenshi said to Yun Shu in a condescending manner.

"Yes, yes, you are absolutely right, fellow Taoist!"

"Then, fellow Taoists, would you be willing to join the four of us? That way, when we encounter high-level ghosts, our chances of winning will be much greater!" Guan Wenshi invited Yunshu to join them.

Yun Shu's eyes rolled, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, the three of us will go with a few others!"
