Chapter 279: Chapter 9-checking the goods.

PEI Ling sized him up and immediately recognized that this middle-aged cultivator was only at the ninth level of the Qi refining stage.
Although the people behind him were all cultivators, their strength was even worse.
The highest was only at Qi disciple Level 7.
Furthermore, his aura was impure. It was obvious that even though they were both Qi disciple Level 7, they were not on the same level as the outer sect disciples.
“Branch master PEI, I’ve long heard of your name!” When they saw PEI Ling, the people in the Mei family’s caravan did not dare to slight him. They hurriedly bowed and greeted him. &Quot; I am Mei keqiu. I have long heard that branch head is a genius. I did not expect you to be so successful at such a young age. I am truly ashamed! &Quot;
&Quot; fellow Daoist Mei, you don’t have to be so polite. We are disciples of the sage sect. We are here to fulfill our mission and help you escort the goods back to the Mei clan. &Quot; PEI Ling replied.
After both parties exchanged some pleasantries and got to know each other better, PEI Ling immediately got down to business.”Daoist Mei, we’ve traveled a long way, so we’ll have to check the goods first.”
Logically speaking, the Mei clan would not dare to deceive the disciples of the sage sect.
However, to be cautious, he had to make sure that the goods that needed to be protected were in good condition before he set off.
What if there was a problem with the item before it was escorted? wouldn’t that be a big loss for nothing?
“Alright, please come with me, branch master PEI.” Mei keqiu immediately led PEI Ling and the other three to the courtyard that the Mei family had rented.
There were a lot of miscellaneous items here, and the most eye-catching ones were the two boxes, one big and one small.
The largest cage was made of refined steel and engraved with all kinds of runes for strengthening, imprisoning, and weakening. In the cage lay a demonic beast with a weak aura.
This demonic beast had three heads, all of which were wolf heads. Its eyes were green, and it had two wings on its side. Its thin tail was long and slender, and it was almost as tall as its body. It was covered in blade-like scales, and even though it was already sunset, it was still reflecting bits of cold light.
Mei keqiu sighed and introduced, ” “Branch leader PEI, this is a three-headed pterolycus, a late-stage Foundation establishment demonic beast. It’s one of the two most important goods for our trip.”
As he spoke, he pointed to a smaller box. That box was even more exaggerated than the cage used to imprison the three-headed pterolycus. It was a thick wooden box, and the inside could not be seen at all. In addition to the runes carved on the box, there were also many talismans stuck on it.
Mei keqiu looked over and saw that two talismans were wet. Her eyes twitched and she quickly got someone to replace them. Then, she said, ” there’s another one in here, the netherworld wood. &Quot;
PEI Ling knew about the netherworld wood. This kind of spirit plant grew in a remote place where the earth veins were contaminated with corpse Qi and had been contaminated by death Qi for years.
It could continuously secrete a type of cold water vapor that could continuously change the surrounding environment.
It was very beneficial for cultivators who cultivated the soul Dao and the corpse Dao.
The Mei clan’s ancestor had chosen to go bankrupt to purchase these two items. The late-stage foundation building demon pet was undoubtedly to ensure the safety of the clan after he left. As for the netherworld wood, it was a cultivation aid for the younger generation of the family.
This was a matter of whether the Mei clan would be able to maintain its current interests and even continue on after losing the backing of a late-stage Foundation establishment cultivator.
It was no wonder that he would post a mission in the Zhong gang sect’s inner sect and even report it to the supervision Hall.
With this thought in mind, PEI Ling nodded and walked to the front of the cage where the three-headed pterolycus was locked. He gently exhaled a blade aura and cut a small wound on the three-headed pterolycus ‘back.
The three-headed pterolycus was instantly enraged. It rolled to its feet and opened its three huge mouths, revealing its sharp teeth. It let out a roar at PEI Ling in unison, but because the cage was sealed by layers of talisman paper, it only regained its strength slightly before its aura quickly faded.
PEI Ling ignored the three-headed pterolycus and took a drop of the three-headed pterolycus ‘blood from the wound on its back. He let it float on his palm and used the [ spirit eye technique ] to examine it carefully.
His blood was full of spiritual power, showing that he was very healthy.
The aura of a late-stage Foundation establishment cultivator did not seem to be fake either. There was nothing wrong with the three-headed pterolycus.
Immediately after, PEI Ling came to the side of the netherworld wood and ordered someone to remove the talisman. He cut off a wisp of cold Yin Qi and directly inhaled it into his body. He automatically circulated the [ burning night chapter ] and quickly refined it. His true essence clearly increased a little.
There was no problem with the netherworld wood either.
After confirming that the two items to be transported were in good condition, PEI Ling nodded his head. This was the first task he had taken over from the jiansang branch, so he had to be careful in all aspects.
“Branch master PEI, these two items have been checked. When should we start?” Mei keqiu stepped forward and asked. The Mei clan’s ancestor did not have much time left ...
In order to wait for the disciples of the Zhong gang sect to accept the mission and rush over, they had also stayed there for a few days.
Although Mei keqiu and the others did not show it on their faces, they were extremely anxious.
They wished they could grow a pair of wings and immediately fly back to the clan!
PEI Ling did not want to delay and immediately said, ” “We’ve just arrived, so we need to rest for two hours to recover. You can start preparing now. We will set off in two hours!”
“Then I’ll have to trouble branch master PEI.” Seeing that he had no intention of delaying, Mei keqiu secretly heaved a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him.
“It’s fine,” PEI Ling continued, ” get someone to prepare a room for us to rest. &Quot;
Very quickly, Mei keqiu gave up the best room in the courtyard.
PEI Ling didn’t let the rest of the Mei family members in and only brought Jin sumian and the other two in for a discussion.
“After my inspection, the three-headed pterolycus and the netherworld wood are fine.”
“It’s just that the cultivation of the Mei family’s people is too low! They could only cultivate Qi. If you really run into any trouble, you’ll definitely have to rely on the four of us.”
&Quot; so, to be safe, we have to make some extra preparations. &Quot;
“Branch master, what should we do next?” the other three asked.
“Go and buy a few cages that look exactly the same ...” PEI lingfei said.
... Two hours later, under PEI Ling’s arrangements, the original two cages in the backyard became six.
Each cage was covered by a piece of black cloth, and the black cloth was covered with talismans. Most of them were used to prevent prying eyes, and even the [ spirit eye technique ] couldn’t see what was hidden under the black cloth.
Mei keqiu was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood what was going on. Although branch master PEI was decisive and brutal in his killing, he had a very careful mind.
Of course, such a deceptive formation also required the support of strength.
If they were not strong enough, it would be useless to prepare more iron cages. But with branch master PEI’s fierce reputation and strength, these iron cages would probably be enough to turn the situation around as long as they delayed the enemy for a little while.
As she thought about this, Mei keqiu saw that PEI Ling was alone and said, ” Branch master PEI, where are your three junior brothers and sisters? ”
“I’ll have them Scout ahead. We can set off now.” PEI Ling replied.
Mei keqiu was puzzled, but since this was branch master PEI’s arrangement, he did not dare to ask too much. He asked again, ” “Branch master PEI, which two cages are the three-headed pterolycus and the netherworld wood? We can focus on protecting him next?”
