Chapter 5 Shan Xionghai
Back home, Zhou Xun couldn’t wait to close the door.
Immediately took out the medicine bottle, gently pulled out the cork, and a scent of medicine and a touch of spiritual energy came to my nose.
Zhou Xun was refreshed. He looked at it carefully for a while and then put the cork back.
“After I finish eating the spiritual rice and my body is full of spiritual energy, I will take it again. It will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!”
Although he was a little excited, Zhou Xun still suppressed it.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong——"
Zhou Xun hurriedly stuffed the medicine bottle into his arms and patted it properly. When he felt that no one else would notice, he stood up and opened the door.
"Brother Zhou!" A majestic voice sounded.
What caught his eye was a tall, dark-skinned young man, who looked to be about the same age as Zhou Xun. He was also holding a snow-white rabbit in his hand, which weighed more than ten kilograms.
"Dahai, when did you come back!" Zhou Xun said in surprise.
This person is Zhou Xun’s childhood friend Shan Xionghai. He is one year younger than Zhou Xun, so he calls Zhou Xun his eldest brother.
What he was holding in his hand was the delicacy that made Zhou Xun endlessly memorable, the Snow Mango Rabbit.
"It's a long story. Let's go in and cook the snowman rabbit, and we'll talk while eating it!" As he said that, the young man smacked his mouth a few times.
"Please, please—"
Zhou Xun quickly welcomed Shan Xionghai in.
Not long after, the snowmang rabbit was ready, and the two of them were eating and chatting.
Shan Xionghai was lying on a chair, ruthlessly tearing off a big rabbit leg and devouring it.
"Dahai, I saw many demon-hunting monks returning to Hongyefang, but what happened?"
Zhou Xun asked, remembering the groups of demon-hunting monks he had seen in Hongyefang these past two days.
"Brother, you are still so smart," the young man said vaguely while chewing rabbit meat.
“I don’t know what happened in the center of Baimang Mountain, causing a large number of monsters to spread to the periphery!”
“Spreading to the periphery?” Zhou Xun asked doubtfully.
This Baimang Mountain stretches for countless thousands of miles, and there are countless monsters living in it.
The closer to the center, the higher the level of the monster. The monster hunting monks of Hongyefang make a living by hunting low-level monsters on the periphery of Baimang Mountain.
"Yes, some people even said that they saw a second-level monster, which is equivalent to the foundation-building monk of us immortal cultivators! In the past, it only appeared once every few years. This time, the news came out. No less than five!”
“Because the incident occurred suddenly and a large number of demon hunting monks were lost, my second uncle planned to return to Hongyefang to avoid the limelight.”
That's it, Zhou Xun nodded.
Normally speaking, the spread of monsters to the periphery is a feast for these monster hunting monks.
However, even the second-level monsters appeared, so they, Qi-training monks, could not provoke them, so it was only right to return to Hongyefang.
Then the two talked about what happened after they separated. Shan Xionghai talked about his experience of hunting monsters. Although it sounded ordinary from his mouth, Zhou Xun also understood the meaning. Dangerous.
Monsters are naturally physically strong, and coupled with their innate spells, they are extremely powerful.
Therefore, human immortal cultivators of the same level are no match for monsters.
This is also the reason why Zhou Xun rejected Shan Xionghai’s second uncle’s invitation and went to Baimang Mountain to hunt monsters together.
"By the way, you don't know, but my cultivation has now reached the peak of the third level of Qi training!" Shan Xionghai said, and a powerful aura of mana radiated out.
Feeling this breath, Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel a little sour.
"By the way, where are you?" Shan Xionghai asked.
Hearing this, Zhou Xun felt a little dry, but he still told his experience, telling everyone except the Wei brothers.
Shan Xionghai was a little angry when he heard that Zhou Xun was fired. "You thief, when I find an opportunity, I will catch the person in charge and give him a good beating!"
"Then what are you going to do now? Have you found a job?" Shan Xionghai asked with concern.
“Not found yet,” Zhou Xun shook his head.
Shan Xionghai pondered for a while, then slowly said:
"Brother, I actually have something to do when I come here today."
"Oh? I wonder what's going on?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.
"On my way back to Hongyefang yesterday, by chance, I found a nest of golden rats in a valley. You should know the beauty of this beast in Miaofu Pavilion."
"Of course I know." Zhou Xun nodded.
The Golden Spirit Rat is a metallic first-order low-grade monster with a golden gradient all over its body.
Its blood can be used to refine talisman ink, its beard can also be used to refine talisman pens, and its rat skin can be used to refine talisman paper. Even its monster meat can be sold for two or three times. Spiritual essence. After all, an adult Golden Spirit Rat is worth more than 60 Spirit Essence.
"It just so happens that you don't have any work now, brother. Why don't you join me and kill this nest of Golden Spirit Rats? You can also replace them with a lot of Spirit Rats and solve your urgent need!"
At the same time, In a valley thousands of miles away from Hongye Square, a nest of golden rats was squeaking. They lived in a hidden cave.
What is surprising is that the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave far exceeds that of the outside world.
The aura of the entire valley seemed to be guided by some kind of guidance and gathered in the cave, which was extremely strange.
"Uncle Shan is a master at the fifth level of Qi refining. Isn't it easy to hunt down this nest of golden rats?" Zhou Xun asked doubtfully after hearing Shan Xionghai's words.
"The Baimang Mountain incident happened unexpectedly, and my second uncle still had some things to arrange, so he didn't go with me."
Zhou Xun nodded when he heard this, and was not in a hurry to agree.
"Can you and I make it work?"
"Brother, don't worry. Although this Golden Spirit Rat is a first-order low-grade monster, its combat power is not strong. Very good!" Shan Xionghai said, patting his chest.
If he hadn't been able to kill all the golden rats in one fell swoop, he wouldn't have asked Zhou Xun for help.
However, in the next month, Zhou Xun needed to fully prepare for the recruitment of apprentices in Danbao Pavilion, but he could not be distracted, so he told the whole story.
Hearing this, Shan Xionghai laughed and said: "Brother, just prepare for the apprenticeship first. It won't happen right away. It just so happens that I can make some preparations this month!"
Then the two began to talk about other experiences.
It was already night by the time Shan Xionghai left.
Zhou Xun took a bath, then entered the quiet room and lit a low-level soothing incense.
This thing is mixed with a small amount of Yuanshen grass, which helps the monks calm their mind. It costs two spiritual essences.
Feeling the faint sandalwood scent lingering on the tip of his nose, Zhou Xun quickly calmed down.
Pick up the medicine bottle in front of you, gently unplug the cork, pour the round Qi-Entraining Pill into the palm of your hand, then twist it up with two fingers and gently put it into your mouth.
When the elixir enters the abdomen, a pure spiritual energy spreads out and spreads throughout the body along the meridians.
Zhou Xun quickly ran the Yangyuan Art to refine this spiritual energy.
Early the next morning, the door to the quiet room opened and Zhou Xun walked out.
Recalling yesterday's experience, he really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
After taking the Qi-enhancing Pill, he did not dare to neglect it and immediately started refining it.
As his cultivation deepened, he soon reached the peak of the second level of Qi training.
Unfortunately, the remaining medicine was not enough to support him to break through the third level of Qi training, but he had a hunch that he could break through as long as he took one more medicine!
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Zhou Xun's eyes,
"I only have less than 20 spirit essences left now, which is not enough to buy a Qi-Entraining Pill,"
"It seems The matter of killing the Golden Spirit Rat must be brought forward!”
