Chapter 14 Winter Hunting
The Qiu Hunt is a hunting event that the emperor personally leads for the princes and princes who have entered the innate world. In the Feiyan Hunting Ground, the princes and princes of the Mingwu Palace are not eligible to participate.
The demon beasts in Feiyan Hunting Ground are the descendants of the four secret land demon beasts. They have strong bloodlines and cannot reach the innate realm. The true energy cannot be released and cannot hurt these demon beasts.
The winter hunting that the princes and princes of Mingwu Palace participated in were located in Xiaochixia Mountain. There were also descendants of monsters in the mountains, but their bloodline was much thinner.
Even if his bloodline is thin, he is still far superior to ordinary beasts.
The descendants of these monster beasts each have their own unique abilities. Some have strong skin and thick flesh, and are invulnerable to swords and guns. Some are sneaky and mysterious, or they are as fast as lightning and cannot be guarded against.
Every year during the winter hunt, almost no princes or princes of the Mingwu Palace escaped unscathed, and all of them were injured.
If a signal is sent at the critical moment, the Forbidden Palace masters will come to the rescue, but this also means quitting the winter hunt.
Winter hunting is to train for actual fighting. The prince and his sons practice martial arts not only to strengthen their bodies, but also to have the ability to fight. The usual sparring intensity is far from enough. Fighting with monsters and beasts is the real practice.
The most important thing is that winter hunting is meritorious.
Every time ten beasts are killed, a ninth-grade meritorious deed will be recorded.
Ninth-grade meritorious deeds are low, but they are meritorious deeds after all. They can be exchanged for ninth-grade elixirs in Tianbaosi.
The four caves and the four secret places guarded by the Grand Master are the foundation of the imperial court and the fundamental reason why the major sects surrender.
The four major caves and the four secret lands contain treasures of heaven and earth, and the elixirs they produce far exceed those of the martial arts sects. The ninth-grade elixirs are not inferior to the top elixirs of famous sects.
"Fourth, your martial arts skills are great, but don't underestimate these monsters. They are all difficult to deal with. I have been in the Mingwu Hall for several years, but I still haven't collected enough ninth-grade meritorious service."
"So powerful?" Chu Zhiyuan was quite surprised.
"These monsters are comparable to innate masters, they just have no real energy. We can't wear treasure armor to defend ourselves. If we are not careful, we will be injured and leave... Anyway, be careful. We at Mingwu Palace don't have enough." Ninth grade meritorious service”
Chu Zhiyuan turned to look at everyone.
"I'm missing one."
Chu Zhichuan's eyes were burning, and his cold and handsome face was full of earnestness.
Hope is right in front of you, this time you will definitely be able to gather the ninth grade meritorious service.
The nine-level meritorious service can be exchanged for the Small Marrow Cleansing Pill, which can relax the three levels a little bit. This little bit is enough.
Break through the levels, step into the innate world, and the dragon ascends to heaven!
"I'm missing two." Chu Zhiting was full of confidence and said slowly: "I guess there will be no problem this time!"
Chu Zhichuan curled his lips.
Chu Zhiting saw it and was immediately dissatisfied: "Old Shi, I was unlucky the last two times. I can't just turn back to bad luck, right?"
Seeing that Chu Zhichuan said "hmm" rather perfunctorily, he was even more dissatisfied. He wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Chu Mingxuan: "Lao Jiu, you are so lucky... People say that things change, but you are so lucky..." You can’t change your luck no matter what, so don’t talk nonsense to avoid ruining your luck.”
"..." Chu Zhiting's face changed slightly, he opened and closed his mouth, and stopped talking.
It is better to believe that it exists than to lose your luck.
Chu Mingxuan said to Chu Zhiyuan: "Laojiu encounters troublesome people every time. Last time it was the Bamboo Snake, and the last time it was the Nine-Star Insect. They are both impossible to guard against, so we are specially designed to defeat them."
Chu Zhiting shook his head helplessly.
Chu Zhichuan said: "I have said it many times, but I just can't listen!... There is a problem with the choice of martial arts. It is all about strength and weight without practicing some lightness and agility as support."
"Old Ten, you are so long-winded. I don't know what you are practicing yet?" Chu Zhiting snorted.
It's not that I don't want to practice lightness, but practicing without strength is self-torture. On the contrary, practicing strong and heavy martial arts makes progress fast, practice happily, and is the most enjoyable.
The yang pole creates yin, and the hard pole turns to softness. If you can practice your fierce martial arts to the extreme, you will naturally become feminine and light.
"I can't listen to good things." Chu Zhichuan curled his lips.
Chu Mingxuan smiled and said: "This time I will obtain the ninth level of gong. With the Little Marrow Cleansing Pill, both of you can advance to Xiantian."
"Uncle Eighteen, the same goes for you." Chu Zhiting said.
Chu Mingxuan was helpless: "I can't do it. I'm still not close to the fire level, and even the small marrow-cleansing pill can't break it."
The gap between his qualifications and Chu Zhichuan and Chu Zhiting is obvious.
If you don't have enough qualifications, you can use the magic pill to get it together. As long as you have enough merit, you can use the magic pill to push yourself to the master level, which is enough.
Therefore, winter hunting is extremely important.
Chu Mingxuan turned around and smiled at Chu Zhiyuan: "Fourth, this is your first time to participate. Don't expect to make meritorious deeds. Protect yourself first. Xiaochixia Mountain is very dangerous."
Chu Zhiyuan asked: "What was it like for Uncle Eighteen to participate for the first time?"
"Hey, don't mention it! I was seriously injured as soon as I entered. I didn't even see what monster was attacking me. I almost died... No matter how powerful you are, fourth brother, you won't be able to survive."
"The first time I participated, I lasted for a quarter of an hour." Chu Zhiting smiled.
Chu Mingxuan curled his lips: "Lao Jiu, you are really supportive."
Chu Zhiting looked at Chu Zhichuan proudly: "Old Shi, you were knocked unconscious in the blink of an eye." Chu Zhichuan said nothing and looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Fourth brother, please take care of yourself."
Chu Zhiyuan laughed.
I saw the expressions of pity or excitement on the faces of the people around me. It was obvious that they didn’t think highly of themselves and were waiting to see their own good show
……
When Chu Zhiyuan was having dinner, Bai Ningshuang mentioned winter hunting.
She heard the news from Concubine Rou today. The palace and the prince's palace in Yujing were talking about winter hunting.
Winter hunting is important to every royal family because of its merits.
Winter hunting has great benefits. Normally, it is not that easy to obtain a ninth-grade gong.
It’s not just about profit, it’s also about face.
Whichever royal family has made more achievements will be able to feel proud and proud during royal banquets and various activities.
This is just like the parents who took the college entrance examination in previous lives. Whichever family's children scored high will naturally speak loudly during the Chinese New Year or family gatherings, and they will be greeted by smiling faces and congratulations.
"Yuan'er, it's your first time to participate. It's important to save your life. Don't think about making meritorious deeds."
"Yeah."
"You can't use treasure armor. Taizu's rules are too..., too dangerous!"
I heard that the monsters in Xiaochixia Mountain are all ferocious. Every time they hunt in the winter, no one can escape unscathed. They are always injured, whether minor or serious, and some even lose their lives.
The eldest son of the Lao Wu family died in Xiaochixia Mountain. A golden falcon directly scratched his head, and the masters of the Forbidden Palace had no time to rescue him.
It is said that there are no more golden-feathered falcons left in Xiaochixia Mountain, but who knows if some fish will slip through the net. If the golden-feathered falcon disappears, there will be a silver-feathered falcon and a bronze-feathered falcon.
It is simply too dangerous to be so ferocious but unable to wear precious armor.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Mom, I will be careful."
Although I haven't found out what the monsters in Xiaochixia Mountain are, but with Tianya Bu so close, the Great Avalanche Sword Technique, and super sense, I should be able to deal with it if I'm careful.
When Bai Ningshuang thought about Chu Zhiyuan's achievements, she felt a little relieved, but she still warned her again: "Yuan'er, don't seek merit but seek no faults, be absolutely careful."
Chu Zhiyuan responded with a smile.
——
The next evening, the sun sets.
As soon as he left the Nangong Gate, Feng Xi and Guo Chi came up to him, and eight innate masters surrounded him to form a space.
Feng Xi took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it: "Your Majesty."
Zou Fang stepped forward to take it, opened the letter and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan glanced at him and smiled.
It was Jiang Qiuge's letter that had already captured all thirty-two disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect lurking in the capital without any setbacks.
Now that they have asked for confessions, no one has slipped through the net. It can be said that all the disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect in Yujing have been caught.
It has been reported to the Audit Department and the results of the meritorious service will be available within a month.
Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
These guys from the Jade Cauldron Sect were eyeing him, causing him great psychological pressure. Now he can finally relax.
But this time it’s the Jade Cauldron Sect, what about next time?
He did not relax when he returned to Prince Qing's Mansion and continued to practice hard.
First, the Great Avalanche Sword Technique caused a dull pain in the meridians, and then the Dragon Subduing Stake was swung and the Dragon Transformation Technique was used, and the meridians were rapidly strengthened. When the internal energy was exhausted or the spirit was weak, the Earth Yuan Technique and Tian Yuan Technique could be used.
This time, I plan to hunt for the ninth-grade gong in winter in exchange for the Small Marrow Cleansing Pill.
The Little Marrow Cleansing Pill has the effect of improving qualifications, but it can only be taken once. The second pill will have no effect. It is more used to clear levels.
Improving qualifications improves the overall quality of the body, which not only increases the breadth and strength of the meridians, but also makes the three levels easier.
Others value the latter, but he values the former.
Through his understanding of martial arts knowledge, the process of the Little Marrow Cleansing Pill taking effect is the process of drastic changes in the body.
This process is the golden period for practicing the Dragon Transformation Technique.
It is very likely that there will be a large increase in entry.
Winter Hunt's merits are calculated quickly, and the merit statistics can be completed the next day. Unlike other merits, which have an audit period of at least one month, the distant water cannot quench the near thirst.
