4 Going out to hunt monsters
After a cup of tea, Shen Long appeared at the door of a two-story red attic, with three golden characters "Qiaobing Hall" written on the plaque.
He walked in and was greeted by a spacious and bright hall. There were a large number of magical instruments in many styles on the shelves. Two attendants in green shirts were introducing the magical instruments to the guests.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, the shopkeeper is upstairs, just go up yourself."
A green-shirted attendant said.
Shen Long thanked him and strode upstairs.
Arriving on the second floor, Shen Long saw an old man in green robe with a rosy face looking through the account books.
The old man in green robe has a round face, big eyes, a goatee, and a kind face.
"Shopkeeper, isn't the young shopkeeper here?"
Shen Long said with a smile.
The old man in green robe is Sun Huowang, the manager of Qiaobing Hall, who is on the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Sun Huowang put down the account book and said with a smile: "Yi Ming went to discuss business. Do you want to repair the magic weapon?"
He has a son and a daughter. His son Sun Yiming has no talent for refining weapons, but is good at dealing with people and is responsible for negotiating business. His daughter Sun Yiyue has talent for refining weapons and inherits Sun Huowang's mantle.
When Shen Long hunted monsters, if the magic weapon was damaged, he handed it over to Qiaobingtang for repair. Sun Huowang charged cheaper.
"It's your birthday in a few days, and I don't have anything good. This pot of green peach wine is a little bit of my appreciation. If you don't mind it, just accept it!"
Shen Long took out the wine bottle and handed it to Sun Huowang.
After resigning, Shen Long would give Sun Huowang a pot of green peach wine every time he celebrated his birthday to express his gratitude.
Without Sun Huowang's shelter, Shen Long might not be able to survive to this day. If an immortal cultivator goes out to hunt monsters and an accident occurs, it will be difficult for future generations to survive. Qin Qing and Qin Tianhe are an example.
Once Qin Qing kills the monster and disappears, it will be difficult for Qin Tianhe to survive on his own.
In recent years, some immortal cultivators have gone out to hunt monsters and beasts, and their bodies have disappeared, and their children have become orphans. It is difficult for these orphans to survive on their own. They either sell themselves to the cultivator family, or disappear inexplicably.
Selling yourself to a cultivating family is better, at least you can survive, but from now on you have to obey the orders of the cultivating family. Some evil cultivators or cults specialize in collecting orphans with spiritual roots to practice martial arts or train them to become dead warriors.
With Sun Huowang's level of craftsmanship, a pot of green peach brew cannot be said to be precious.
"I've told you so many times, you don't have to spend so much money, it's not easy for you to earn some spiritual stones."
Sun Huowang said in a reproachful tone, but still took the green peach stuffed wine.
"It's just a pot of green peach brew, it's nothing."
Shen Long smiled lightly.
"By the way, the Chen family has recently been purchasing centenary-year-old golden linda grass. Please pay attention when you hunt monsters. If you get hundred-year-old golden linda grass, you can sell it to the Chen family."
Sun Huowang said.
"Golden Lincao!"
Shen Long nodded and said, "Thank you very much, shopkeeper."
Information is also a resource for cultivating immortals. Sun Huowang has a wide network of contacts and knows about any troubles in the city relatively early.
After chatting for a few words, Shen Long said goodbye and left.
Returning to his residence, Shen Long activated the sound insulation array, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and started practicing his martial arts.
Some blue light spots emerged in the room, and as he swallowed and breathed, these blue light spots rushed toward his mouth and nose.
Ten hours later, Shen Long walked out of his residence and walked towards the martial arts garden on the top of the mountain to practice his spells.
As the days passed, apart from cultivating and practicing spells, Shen Long would hang out in the square where casual cultivators set up stalls, asking about anecdotes that happened in the world of cultivators or seeing strange things.
Half a month passed. Shen Long was practicing in his residence. A transmission note flew in. He quickly stopped his practice, grabbed the transmission note, closed his five fingers, and the transmission note exploded. Sun Yang's voice sounded: "Shen Dao Friend, come to Daoyou Xu’s residence and come to live.”
"Finally come to life."
Shen Long took a long breath and looked happy.
He put away the five spiritual stones on the soundproof array, walked out, and walked towards the mountain.
He came to the door of a small courtyard with green tiles. There was a green wooden sign hanging on the door with three golden characters "Qingzhu Yuan" written on it.
The courtyard door opened and he strode in.
The courtyard is not big. There is a two-story blue attic and a blue stone pavilion.
Sun Yang and a sturdy man in a yellow shirt were sitting in a stone pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.
The big man in yellow shirt has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he has a yellow spirit beast bag tied around his waist.
Xu Lei, who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, is also the only monk in the demon hunting team who has raised spiritual beasts.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you have advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining, congratulations!"
Xu Lei said with a smile and a rough voice.
"Fellow Daoist Xu will soon be promoted to the eighth level of Qi Refining!"
Shen Long said.
As early as three years ago, Xu Lei advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and he is probably about to break through.
"I think it's stuck at a bottleneck."
Xu Lei sighed, with a sad look on his face.
Every monk will encounter bottlenecks, but the frequency and time are different. Some monks rarely encounter bottlenecks, and some monks encounter bottlenecks several times in one realm. It depends on the person.
"The bottleneck is not easy to resolve, Fellow Daoist Xu."
A gentle female voice sounded.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young woman in her early thirties in a purple skirt and a tall, thin man in a blue shirt walked in.
The young woman in the purple dress has gorgeous facial features, towering peaks, and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, which is attractive and charming, showing the charm of a young woman.
The man in green shirt has simple and honest facial features, giving people an honest and honest feeling.
The man in the blue shirt is named Chen Qiang, and the young woman in the purple skirt is named Liu Xin. They are both at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and they are a pair of monks.
"Where is Fellow Daoist Qin! He hasn't come yet? Every time he comes to live, he is the most active."
Liu Xin asked.
"I have already sent him the transmission talisman. I guess he is practicing spells with his grandson! Just wait!"
Sun Yang said.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what kind of monster are you going to hunt this time?"
Liu Xin asked.
"There are two flame spiders in the late first level. The old rule is to divide them and annihilate them."
Xu Lei said.
A late-stage first-level monster is equivalent to a late-stage Qi Refining monk, and is not weak in strength.
Liu Xin nodded and said: "There are only two late-stage first-order flame spiders, so they should not be our opponents."
"Fellow Daoist Xu, how did you discover the Flame Spider? The information cannot be wrong!"
Shen Long asked.
Monsters will not stay in their lairs all the time, but will also go out to look for food. Sometimes, the number and cultivation of monsters may be wrong.
"I personally investigated it and stayed there for several days. I didn't find the third flame spider. As long as I don't encounter the second-level monster, there is no problem. Xu Daoyou's ice crystal scorpion is not a vegetarian."
Sun Yang said.
Xu Lei raised a mid-level first-order ice crystal scorpion, which was passed down from his father for two generations, but his father died at the mouth of a monster.
"Haha, finally come to life."
A delighted male voice sounded.
Qin Qing walked in quickly with a smile on his face. If he didn't go out to hunt monsters, he wouldn't be able to open the pot.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set off!"
Xu Lei didn't waste any time. With a wave of his sleeves, he led Sun Yang and others out of the residence and activated the warning array.
After leaving Fangshi, Xu Lei raised his right hand, and a ray of green light flew out, turning into a flying boat with flashing blue light, with a cloud pattern on the boat.
The low-grade flying magic weapon Qingyun Zhou!
Xu Lei took the lead and walked up, followed closely by Sun Yang, and Qin Qing and the other four followed one after another.
Chapter completed!
