The wind and snow are following the rhythm of the end of the year, as if they want to have a carnival.
Qin Shaoyou followed Song Yaya's guidance and found the location of the Demon Hunter Guild without much effort.
There is a huge square in front of the guild. In the square stand eight stone pillars carved with various strange animals.
Qin Shaoyou glanced at it briefly, but couldn't see what it was painted on.
Passing through the deserted square is the gate of the Demon Hunter Guild.
At this moment, there were two monks at the foundation-building level sitting at the door chatting together.
When they heard the footsteps coming from far away, they couldn't help but look towards the visitor.
As soon as Qin Shaoyou approached, before he spoke, the two people pointed to a notice board on the side, and then stopped looking at him.
Qin Shaoyou looked in the direction that the man pointed.
I saw a small wooden sign hanging on the notice board, which said "No tasks are released yet."
Qin Shaoyou smiled helplessly. It seems that this place is indeed the hunting season as Song Yaya said.
However, the purpose of his coming here this time was not to take on any mission, but to register as a demon hunter first.
So he straightened his clothes and then took a few steps.
"Two fellow Taoists, Qin Shaoyou, a casual cultivator, would like to register as a demon hunter. I don't know how the process works?"
The two were chatting, and they showed lewd smiles from time to time. They were interrupted by Qin Shaoyou, who was obviously a little unhappy.
"Didn't it say on the notice board that no tasks will be issued before February next year!"
"What's the use of registering as a demon hunter now?"
"Besides, if you want to register as a demon hunter, our president will need to personally preside over it. But our president is not in Tianyun City recently, so you should come back another day!"
Compared to those guards who were high-minded but low-handed, this person was quite polite in his words. At least he told the whole story.
Qin Shaoyou was a little disappointed. He thought for a while and then asked:
"Then when will your president come back?"
At this time, the other monk was obviously a little impatient.
"The president is busy with official duties all day long. How will we know when he will come back?"
"Don't linger here, otherwise you won't blame me for being rude!"
Qin Shaoyou frowned.
"In that case, I'll take my leave."
At this moment, a man walked out of the guild. He scanned the door and asked seriously:
"What's the fuss about?"
The two guards looked a little panicked when they saw this man, and they immediately saluted him and said.
"Vice president, this person wants to register as a demon hunter, but the president is not in the city recently, so I will ask him to come back in a few days~!"
Hearing the sound of someone speaking, Qin Shaoyou, who was about to leave, naturally stopped.
The man snorted slightly dissatisfiedly.
"The president is not here, am I not here?!"
Then he looked at Qin Shaoyou again.
"Aren't you going to register as a monster hunter? Come in with me!"
Under the two people's somewhat bewildered gazes, Qin Shaoyou also followed the man who claimed to be the vice-president into the gate of the demon hunter's guild with a look of helplessness.
"Thank you very much, Vice-President. I would like to ask Qin Shaoyou, a casual cultivator, how to call the Vice-President of the Association?"
Qin Shaoyou noticed that this person's cultivation should be in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
There was a double-edged ax strapped to his waist, which did not match his elegant appearance.
This person's appearance is also very young, but he is only 3 years old. If he is not good at good looks, then this person's talent is indeed very outstanding.
And he noticed that there were four stars hanging on the man's waistband that symbolized his status as a demon hunter.
"Four-star demon hunter!?"
The vice president led the way and did not look back.
After hearing Qin Shaoyou's words, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
"You can call me Storm."
Strong wind?
Qin Shaoyou's face was full of questions, what kind of name is this?
The surname is Kuang and Feng, is there anyone else with the surname Kuang?
He didn't know what to call this person for a moment.
"Our Demon Hunter Guild has a rule that all registered Demon Hunters are not allowed to use their real names, so have you thought about your code name?"
Qin Shaoyou suddenly realized.
I see!
The two walked through the front yard and soon arrived at the main hall of the Demon Hunter Guild.
At this moment, although it is in the hunting season, there are many people in the hall busy going back and forth.
This was beyond Qin Shaoyou's expectation.
In fact, the Monster Hunter Guild set up this rest period not as he had guessed before, in order to protect the sustainable development of monsters.
On the contrary, the purpose of setting up the hunting holiday is to protect the monks!
Every year from December to February of the following year, an extremely terrifying celestial phenomenon called a cold wave will appear in the Thunder Sea, where Qin Shaoyou appeared before.
Cold waves come and go without a trace. Once encountered, few people can escape.
Once the monks are overtaken by the cold wave, even the movement of spiritual power in their bodies will be frozen in an instant.
Even if they don't freeze to death, they will become food for those monster beasts.
Moreover, the strange thing is that this cold wave only poses a huge threat to human monks, and those monsters in the sea will not be fatal even if they are engulfed by the cold wave.
Secondly, this holiday hunting period is also to allow the Demon Hunter Guild time to sort out the information of all registered Demon Hunters.
After all, most of the demon hunters are casual cultivators, and they will not stay in one place for too long.
For example, if a casual cultivator successfully upgraded from a two-star demon hunter to a three-star demon hunter in Tianyun City, then the upgraded information would need time to be delivered from the demon hunter's guild in Tianyun City to the nearest nearby one.
The main guild of monster hunters will then consolidate and distribute them to all the sub-guilds of monster hunters under its jurisdiction.
This work must be completed before February of the next two years, so the Monster Hunter Guild seems deserted and deserted during the off-hunting period, but in fact the people inside are very busy.
No wonder the two people outside the door didn't let Qin Shaoyou in. The people inside were so busy, and Qin Shaoyou still came in to go through the process. Isn't this a delay?
Guangfeng led Qin Shaoyou through the main hall and turned into a corridor. After walking along the corridor for about half a stick of incense, he arrived at another courtyard.
Opposite the courtyard is another tall building.
"If you want to become a demon hunter, you must pass the exam to register as a demon hunter."
"Based on your level of cultivation, it should be no problem to get a one-star demon hunter initially. Of course, if you have stronger strength, it is possible to directly upgrade to a two-star."
"You come with me."
Qin Shaoyou was a little surprised. Why is it so troublesome to register as a demon hunter?
However, although he muttered a little, he did not dare to show any impatience on the surface. After all, it was the vice president who opened the back door for him today so that he could come and register as a monster hunter.
"Well, thank you, Vice President."
Qin Shaoyou quickly followed.
The two entered the high-rise building and saw a very wide training ground.
In the center of the trial ground, a strange-shaped iron pillar stood.
It is said to be an iron pillar, but Qin Shaoyou is not sure what material this object is made of.
It was completely black and about two people tall.
The lower half of the iron pillar is engraved with a very complex spiritual pattern, which looks like a magic circle.
Qin Shaoyou has never seen this kind of magic formation.
Continuing to look up along the circle, I saw five spiritual patterns on it connected to the five white and transparent luminous pearls on the top of the pillar.
At this time, there was only an old man sweeping the floor in the trial ground. He was stooped, his clothes were somewhat tattered, and he wore an iron mask on his face.
After hearing the sound of someone coming in, the man with the iron mask just moved his ears slightly and did not raise his head.
"Tie Mian, I'll bring someone here for the trial. You go and prepare."
Kuang Feng gave an order to the man named Tie Mian, who nodded slightly, then dragged the broom and walked towards the opposite side of the trial ground.
Qin Shaoyou looked a little curious. This man looked slovenly and had no spiritual power fluctuations on his body, but he was called "Iron Face" by Guangfeng. Is this man also a demon hunter? If he is a demon hunter, why is he missing?
Does he have a monster hunting tag on his waist?
"Did you see that trial pillar?"
Qin Shaoyou nodded. Who could not see such a big black pillar?
"There is a magic circle engraved on it. You then use your best ability to attack it, and the trial pillar will naturally determine your monster hunter level."
Qin Shaoyou nodded. In fact, when he first saw this thing when he entered the door, he already understood the function of this thing. As expected, it was as he guessed. It should be to light up the night pearl on the trial pillar by detecting the trialer's attack strength.
.
At present, this trial pillar can only test monster hunter levels from one to five stars.
Although it does not cover all levels of monster hunters, it is obvious that five stars are definitely enough in this small Tianyun City. After all, the guild leader here is just a five-star monster hunter.
After the iron-faced old man walked to the opposite edge of the trial ground, he took out a black iron rod about two feet long from his arms. He inserted the iron rod into the corresponding groove on the ground, and suddenly the entire trial ground was transformed.
The ground lit up with a complicated pattern of spiritual patterns, making the entire training ground look particularly glorious and sacred.
Then, these spiritual patterns quickly climbed from the ground to the walls, and finally converged at the center of the top of the entire trial ground. After meeting at the center, a barrier was formed around the entire trial ground.
The purpose of this barrier is to prevent the spiritual energy fluctuations inside from damaging the buildings around the tall building.
Kuang Feng stood with his hands behind his back and nodded to Qin Shaoyou. The latter took a deep breath and walked to the field.
He was seen slowly approaching the trial pillar, and finally stopped about an arm's length in front of the trial pillar.
Qin Shaoyou stared at the spirit pattern and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Because he himself had learned to refine weapons, he was very interested in this kind of magical weapon with special functions.
Since this trial pillar dares to set five luminous pearls, that is to say, the maximum attack power it can withstand can reach the attack level of a five-star demon hunter.
Although he still doesn't know what the level of the demon hunter is based on, it can be seen from the four-star demon hunter waistband on the vice president Kuang Feng that the cultivation level of the five-star demon hunter must be in the golden elixir.
Above the middle stage.
In other words, if he can understand the spiritual pattern formation above, he can make a set of defensive magic weapons that can absorb the attacks of five-star demon hunters.
Yes, after Qin Shaoyou came out of seclusion this time, he was planning to customize a pair of defensive armor.
Although the golden light shuttle has a defensive function, it is only a shield after all. If he is attacked from the front and back, the effect of this object will still be greatly restricted.
If he has this kind of defensive armor similar to the trial pillar, then maybe he can not only resist other people's attacks, but also use the spiritual power released by other people's attacks for his own use!
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou's eyes became even more fanatical.
