Ye Chen practiced all afternoon, and with exhaustion and bloody scars all over his body, he returned to the temporary camp where the monk team was stationed.
"The demon rats are good at speed and flexibility. In these two aspects, they are better than the first-level monks in the Qi refining stage of the same strength. At the same time, they angered two first-level demon rats and used them to practice the wind control technique and forcibly practice their dodge ability. The difficulty is doubled.
It's several times bigger, and it's no longer something that ordinary first-level monks in the Qi Refining Stage can do easily."
"Although I have become more and more proficient in wind control, I still practiced too little for five or six hours. I have left more than a dozen scars of varying depths on my body. I just avoided the vital points, and some minor injuries are nothing."
"I will practice for another day tomorrow. My wind control skills will be improved to 20%, and my speed and levitation will be improved. I should be able to easily deal with the rapid attack of two demon rats."
Ye Chen thought to himself.
Several tents were formed in a circle in the camp, horses were tied to stakes, a bonfire had been raised in the center of the camp, and a barbecue grill had been set up.
More than half of the monks in Yun Xin's team have returned. Seven or eight monks gathered in the camp to grill the demon rabbit meat and demon rat meat brought back from hunting and prepare dinner.
Sitting next to Yun Xin were two women, the Zhu sisters. They couldn't help but make a fuss when they saw Ye Chen returning to the camp empty-handed and finding nothing.
"Ye Chen, after a whole day's work, you didn't kill a single monster?"
"That's right, even the two of us women have finally caught two demon rabbits! Are you being lazy?"
"Don't say that. Judging from the injuries on his body, he must have tried his best to kill the monsters! But he was too brave to hunt alone. The monsters in the Sunset Field are not that easy to deal with. He was covered in bruises
Not to mention the injuries, I haven’t caught anything yet.”
The two women exchanged words with each other, chattering.
Several other male monks turned their heads and looked at Ye Chen with a somewhat mocking gaze. They had more or less hunted a few demon rats and demon rabbits and brought them back, but they were empty-handed like Ye Chen.
Yun Xin leaned on the meat and blinked, feeling a little strange. She had wanted to hunt with Ye Chen before, but she couldn't find him. With Ye Chen's strength, it is logical that he should not have killed even a single monster.
Ye Chen frowned when he heard this.
But he still endured it and ignored their ridicule.
Ye Chen found an open space and sat cross-legged to rest.
after awhile.
"Brothers, we are back!"
The last two members of the team, Zhao An and Zhou Qing, finally returned to the camp. They were holding five or six first-order monsters in their hands, with faces full of joy and shouting loudly.
"Everyone in our team is finally back!"
Everyone laughed, took the prey, and helped skin it and get the meat.
When Zhao An learned that Ye Chen had not brought back any monsters, he smiled and encouraged Ye Chen, "It's okay. It's too difficult to hunt monsters alone. Tomorrow we brothers will go together! Kill more than ten monsters and come back."
"
Ye Chen was a little bit dumbfounded.
A sharp chirping sound suddenly came from Zhao An's arms.
Everyone was surprised.
"This is a newborn demon rat baby we caught in the demon rat's lair. If we sell this baby demon rat in the fairy city, it will be worth at least ten spirit stones. I'm lucky today, so I've made a fortune.
, more than I earn in a month working in Fairy City!"
Zhao An quickly took out a small pink rat from his arms and said with a smile.
This baby spirit rat has a pink head and a pink brain. It has just learned to crawl. It keeps poking its head and chirping.
"Ah, what a baby rat!"
"It's a pity that we don't have any spiritual stones, otherwise we would buy a baby spiritual beast to raise!"
Yun Xin and the Zhu sisters were so happy that they snatched the baby spirit rat and played with it.
The other friars were all surprised.
Wild adult monsters are extremely difficult to tame. Few monks will capture live adult wild monsters to raise. However, baby spirit beasts are relatively easy to tame and can be tamed into mounts, combat spirit beasts, guardian spirit beasts, etc. for various uses.
kind of use.
For immortal cultivators, having a spiritual beast of their own is undoubtedly of great benefit.
For young monks, they are looking forward to having a spiritual beast of their own.
Baby spirit rats are too small and not suitable for fighting. Female monks prefer to keep them as pets.
Monks prefer to raise large spirit tigers, spirit wolves and the like.
"Don't just play with the baby rats."
“Eat the barbecue first!”
Ye Chen cut a piece of demon rabbit meat and grilled it on the fire rack. The skin of a first-level demon beast was only worth a few spirit stones, and the meat was of no use. No one would bring it all the way back to the fairy city, or they would eat it on the sunset field.
, or throw it away.
There were also several monks who brought spiritual wine and brought out spiritual wine to add to the fun.
An hour later.
The young monks had eaten and drank enough, and the lively little camp finally gradually became quiet. They were leaning against the campfire in the center of the camp, laughing and chatting in low voices.
The sky is bright with nebulae.
"Hey, you tell me, why do you want to become an immortal?"
Yun Xin raised her chin, looked at the sky, and asked suddenly.
"Why are you cultivating immortality? Sister Yun Xin, your question is really strange. Our elders are all cultivators of immortality, so naturally we have followed suit! Do you need a reason to cultivate immortality? Sister Yun Xin, what is your purpose of cultivating immortality?"
Sister Zhu asked strangely.
"I am cultivating immortality just to make myself happy. If you are not happy, why bother cultivating immortality! What about you?"
Yun Xin pouted and said.
"If I can cultivate to the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage before the age of twenty-five and become a disciple of the Immortal Sect, I will be satisfied for the rest of my life. If I can become a monk of the Foundation Establishment Stage after becoming a disciple of the Immortal Sect, it will definitely be a risk to my ancestors.
Green smoke!"
Zhao An laughed and kicked Zhou Qing next to him, "Zhou Qing, what do you want to do in the future?"
"Becoming a disciple of the Nine Immortal Sects? This hope is too slim... In the entire Immortal City, there are dozens of major cultivating families, hundreds of small cultivating families, and many disciples with outstanding qualifications. They are all vying to become the Nine Immortals.
Disciple. I'm afraid I don't have a chance to compete. I plan to do some small business in the fairy city, learn the skills of weapon refining and alchemy, and open a shop in the future. Although I can't become a disciple of the fairy sect, it's not bad.
There are some Xiu who can become foundation-building monks!"
Zhou Qing was stunned for a while, scratched his head and said.
All the young monks agreed, this idea is quite good and practical.
For most of the early Qi-refining monks in Tianwu Xianyuan City, the Nine Immortal Sects of Yunzhou are high and somewhat unattainable. It is okay to think about it occasionally, but if you really do it, it will not be enough to say a few words.
Yun Xin suddenly smiled and looked at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, what do you want to do?"
"Me? My parents wanted me to succeed and sent me to practice martial arts since I was a child. It was very difficult for me to live alone in the school. I was forced to practice hard and gradually got used to this kind of life. Later, by chance, I came to
This Tianwu Xianyuan City... As for what I want to do in the future, I haven’t thought too much about it.”
Ye Chen said lightly.
He actually didn't want to talk about it.
Since he obtained the ancient painting scroll from the Immortal Mansion, he often dreams at night that he has become a real immortal, standing with a fairy on a fairy island floating in the sky, overlooking the endless mountains and rivers of the mainland with indifference.
But dreams are dreams. Ye Chen always laughs at himself after waking up. He never compares dreams with reality, which doesn't make much sense.
Ye Chen would rather spend more time practicing the eight spells he just learned, rather than waste time thinking about illusory things.
"I really have no ambition! Zhao An is a little impetuous. He wants to enter the nine major immortal sects in Yunzhou, but it is too difficult. But he has great ambitions and dares to compete with the children of the Immortal Cultivation Clan in the Immortal City!"
"Let's not talk about the Nine Immortal Sects. Even if you don't learn from Zhao An, you should at least learn from Zhou Qing and do some small business in the Immortal City, open a shop or something. Look at Zhou Qing, how honest, down-to-earth and down-to-earth he is. Although
My family background is a bit poor, but I will be promising in the future. If we sisters want to get married in the future, we must find someone as down-to-earth and willing to work as Zhou Qing."
The Zhu sisters laughed unceremoniously.
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, feeling disgusted. He directly classified the two of them as unreasonable objects and refused to pay attention to them.
