Chapter 26: The First Trial
Qin Shijie began to prepare various things for the first trial.
First of all, it is natural to prepare all kinds of healing pills and antidote pills. These things are life-saving things, and you must be well prepared.
The second is all kinds of weapons and equipment. Qin Shijie spent five thousand contribution points to exchange for a Yanyu knife, which could greatly increase the power of martial arts.
At the same time, he spent 30,000 contribution points to exchange for a fire illusion suit, which can greatly reduce the attack power of martial artists below the high level of the martial arts realm. Spent 20,000 contribution points for a pair of Hidden Fire Boots.
Everything is properly equipped and stored in the mustard ring. Qin Shijie walked straight to the mission pavilion of the academy again. Check out if there's a task that suits you.
According to the codex of the ancestors, if you go out for trials, it is best to be able to take on a few tasks in order to exercise yourself to a greater extent.
After turning around along the tree-lined road of the academy for a while, Qin Shijie saw a wide attic. The gate of the attic is extremely wide, and there are many warriors who come in and out, and the warriors who can enter and exit here have the lowest strength in the samurai realm.
Qin Shijie stepped into the gate, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a flat wall in front of him, and some wooden hooks were arranged on the wall, and each wooden hook had a wooden sign written on it, which was a brief description of the mission.
The tasks that can be hung on are all difficult or dangerous tasks, but correspondingly, the contribution points obtained are also extremely high.
On the left-hand side of the hall is the place where the task is taken, which is divided into a dozen counter-like areas, and behind each counter is a young man. If a warrior wants to receive a mission, he needs to go to these counters and check the catalog to receive it.
The right-hand side of the hall is where the task is handed over when the task is completed, and the layout of the field is similar to the left side of the task.
Qin Shijie came to the left and saw a young girl empty in front of the counter, so he walked over and sat down. After asking, the girl took a thick catalog book and looked at it carefully.
Qin Shijie planned to go to the Duyang Mountain Range in the west of the Pingtang Empire for a trial this time. The mountains over there are relatively low, the depth is not very long, and the spirit beasts in the mountains are not very advanced, and they are still relatively safe. So he decided to choose that side for the first trial.
After several checks, Qin Shijie chose an escort task and several collection tasks. After taking the task, he walked out of the mission pavilion and returned to the dormitory.
Everything is ready, it's time to leave tomorrow. After Lei Hu came back, knowing that Qin Shijie would set off for the trial tomorrow, he was envious and reluctant at the same time.
In the end, he and Lei Hu went to Red River City outside the school to eat and drink, and in Lei Hu's words, it was regarded as seeing him off.
Lei Hu's final "I wish you come back alive, brother" moved Qin Shijie.
Early the next morning, Qin Shijie adjusted the martial arts outfit on his body, this costume was specially customized by him, and the academy uniform on his body had already been replaced. Inside the warrior's power suit is the fire illusion suit. There is the Yanyu knife stuck in his back, which can be easily pulled out at any time.
After bidding farewell to Lei Hu, Qin Shijie stepped out of Mingqing Academy and embarked on the road of trials for the first time.
This time, he had to rush to Yulin Road in the southern district of Honghe City, because the escort mission he picked up was on Yulin Road. This time, the academy needs to help the empire escort a batch of supplies to the army garrison to the west of the empire.
After Qin Shijie came to Yulin Road, he saw a team of workers carrying bags of materials to the car. And many other warriors who have also taken over the escort mission this time have already come.
It was not only the martial artists of Mingqing Academy who took over the escort mission, but also the students of the other three academies. There were about fifty warriors escorted this time.
After more than an hour, the entire convoy of more than 100 vehicles had been filled with supplies, and after a little teamwork, they drove out of the west gate of Red River City neatly. Around the carriage followed, one by one serious warriors in strong suits.
Qin Shijie followed in the middle of the convoy, and next to him were two other warriors. These two martial artists were not martial artists of Mingqing Academy, and he didn't know them, so he didn't come forward to say hello.
The leader of this convoy this time, the martial artist, was a martial artist of the Martial Monarch Realm, Qin Shijie looked at his back and muttered to himself: "The Martial Monarch Realm is really majestic, presumably this trip is still very safe." ”
Duyang Mountain is in the western place of the Pingtang Empire, three thousand miles away from Red River City, and it is from there that the Red River flows. Duyang Mountain is in the west, and 60,000 Mountains are in the east, forming a huge buffer plain in the middle, which is the territory of the six great empires in the central region of Kuizhou, such as the Pingtang Empire.
This time, Qin Shijie and the others escorted this batch of supplies were the supplies of the imperial soldiers of the Pingtang Empire stationed in the western border.
The Martial Arts Academy generally carries out various forms of cooperation with the Empire, so many of the tasks issued by the Academy are to help the Empire, and this time, as long as the escort arrives at the destination, there will be a special person to confirm with those who receive the mission, and after returning home, you can hand over the task and complete the task and get contribution points.
On the fifth day after leaving the city, after the convoy stopped in the evening, the escorted warriors sat around the campfire and ate barbecue.
Qin Shijie was sitting by the bonfire drinking a refreshing fruit drink brought out, when a cry came from the side: "Qin Shijie, is it you?"
Qin Shijie turned around in confusion, only to see the young man wearing the college's uniform shouting with a smile: "Qin Shijie, I'm Meng Dehui." Remember me?"
"Meng Dehui, it's you. Hearing the young man's voice, Qin Shijie suddenly remembered.
This Meng Dehui, Qin Shijie is still a little impressed.
Ever since Qin Shijie broke through the samurai rank, he has been promoted to the third class of study. Meng Dehui is a student in the same class as himself, and he is a student of the fifth order of the samurai. Although the two are not close friends, they are also in the same class after all, and they still nod occasionally when they meet.
That Meng Dehui walked over with two other martial artists, and said with a smile and enthusiasm: "Qin Shijie, I didn't expect that you would come out for the trial soon after you broke through to become a martial artist. I really didn't think I dared to recognize you just now. ”
"Fang Zhengsong, Lan Qing, let me introduce, this is the superstar Qin Shijie of our Mingqing Academy that I mentioned to you. Less than a year after enrolling, he broke through to the samurai rank. Meng Dehui enthusiastically introduced.
Fang Zhengsong is the strong, short-haired young man, "Qin Shijie, the supernova of Mingqing Academy, I have already heard of it. I didn't expect to have the pleasure of meeting you today. Fang Zhengsong said with a polite smile.
Lan Qing on the side just nodded, not too talkative.
Qin Shijie didn't say much else, but asked, "I didn't expect you to also take this escort mission." Are you going to the western mountains for a trial?"
Meng Dehui nodded and said, "Yes, Fang Zhengsong and Lan Qing and I went out to test together last year, and the cooperation was not bad." Today we are also going to take a walk in the Duyangshan area together. Qin Shijie, you're also going to Duyang Mountain, right? Let's go together, be safe. ”
Qin Shijie nodded.
"Just go with them for the time being, this Meng Dehui and I are in the same class, so we should still be able to trust them. Wait until you reach the Duyang Mountain Range and then separate from them. "Qin Shijie has already planned this trial, and everything in the trial is on his own.
In the next few days, Meng Dehui and the three of them often came to get close to Qin Shijie. Qin Shijie was also chatting with them, talking about the situations that might be encountered on the path of the trial.
In the conversation with the three of them, Qin Shijie learned a lot further.
While following the convoy forward, Fang Zhengsong's loud voice sounded: "Qin Shijie, it is absolutely right for you to join our team." When the time comes, the four of us will join forces and use the trap to slaughter the beast that has won the third grade. The fierce beasts of the three grades have already produced Neidan in their bodies, as long as one is slaughtered, it will be 10,000 gold coins. If we kill a few more, we'll get bigger. ”
10,000 gold coins and a Neidan, that's a huge amount of wealth.
Qin Shijie's heart moved, and his mind summarized and recalled the records of fierce beasts and spirit beasts in the classics in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. The book introduces the spirit animal and the root of the spirit animal, Neidan.
Neidan is condensed from the henchmen of the three grades and above the fierce beasts, and it is the source of the strength of the fierce beasts. The inner pill can be used as medicine, which is one of the main materials for making various pills, and can also be directly provided for martial arts cultivation. A Nedan is still very valuable.
"When you go to the Duyang Mountain Range, it's true to train yourself, Neidan? If you can earn a little by the way, you don't have to deliberately pursue it. Qin Shijie secretly looked up, presumably thinking of the wealth in his mustard seed ring, a 10,000 gold coin of Nedan was nothing. What's more, the fierce beasts of the three grades are so easy to kill.
Meng Dehui and the three of them talked very enthusiastically when they arrived, and it was obvious that they were very much looking forward to the fierce beast Neidan.
The classification of beasts in the Kyushu continent is generally divided into ordinary beasts, fierce beasts and spirit beasts. The biggest difference between a fierce beast and an ordinary beast is that it can cultivate, while the biggest difference between a spirit beast and a fierce beast is wisdom.
The classification of fierce beasts is one to nine products, one to four products are fierce beasts, when the fierce beasts reach the fifth grade, they will naturally open wisdom, which is equivalent to the wisdom of an adult human, and the fierce beasts that open the wisdom are also called spirit beasts.
They correspond to the strength level of human warriors, and after they open their minds, they can also cultivate. When they have cultivated to the third rank, an inner pill will be produced in their body.
A three-grade fierce beast inner dan is 10,000 gold coins, and the higher the inner dan, the more expensive the price will be, and the price is generally about 5-10 times different from a large realm.
"It would be nice if I could get a five-grade spirit beast Neidan. That's millions of gold coins!" Meng Dehui said wistfully.
Qin Shijie shook his head and said casually: "Five-grade spirit beasts, even if all the people in our group of escorts go together, I'm afraid they will all be sent to death." ”
Lan Qing, who didn't like to talk the most, nodded and said, "If we encounter a five-grade spirit beast, we will indeed be sent to death." ”
"I'm just fantasizing~" Meng Dehui touched his head and pouted.
The four of them chatted as they followed the convoy toward the western frontier.
