Chapter 9: Vortex Cloud Mountain
Following.
Early in the morning, Liu Tianqi carried a ten-stone bow and a hundred refined steel daggers at his waist, followed behind his father, and rushed towards the entrance of the village.
Zheng Xinrou was very worried, and took Liu Tianpeng and Liu Tianlan all the way to the entrance of the village.
There were also three young girls in Shili Village who were also at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm and needed to go to Vortex Cloud Mountain to find spirit bones, and they were also brought to the entrance of the village by their own adults.
When the villagers of Shili Village saw Liu Shengtong coming, they greeted him one after another.
And Liu Tianqi's equipment obviously surprised everyone very much.
Liu Shengtong was born in the Liu family of Wolf City, which is not a secret in Shili Village.
In their opinion, the Liu clan in Wolf City can be regarded as a prestigious clan, Vortex Cloud Mountain has been looted for two rounds, and most of the remaining spirit beasts are inferior, so they should not be able to enter Liu Shengtong's eyes.
The villagers of Shili Village, their eyes wandered, and they secretly said in their hearts, isn't the rumor from Wolf City true?
This Liu Shengtong family is really not treated by the family?
So as a descendant of Liu Tianqi, the family is reluctant to reward even a piece of spiritual bone?
Such a thought flashed in everyone's hearts, but on the surface, they still maintained enough respect for this village zheng, after all, Liu Shengtong's status was really won three years ago.
In the past few years, although Liu Shengtong has been strong in Shili Village, he has also handled things fairly, and many people have gradually become convinced of Liu Shengtong.
This is also the reason why Liu Shengtong is an outsider, but he was able to quickly gain a firm foothold in Shili Village.
The three teenagers and girls who went to Wuyun Mountain together, Liu Tianqi also knew each other.
One of them is Zhou Yongge's follower Yuan Chengzhi, who was beaten by Liu Tianqi when he made an appointment two days ago, so his gaze at Liu Tianqi was a little afraid.
There is also a thirteen-year-old girl named Jiang Yuanjing, who is a child of the Jiang family in Shili Village, although this girl only has three heavenly aperture in her body, but one of them is the five senses.
That's a lot of money.
The number of Heavenly Apertures determines a martial artist's cultivation qualifications, and the location of the Heavenly Aperture in the body determines the possibility of whether a martial artist can cultivate a rare natal spirit seal.
Among them, the five senses and heavenly apertures, as long as they absorb the matching spirit bones, the possibility of cultivating a rare natal spirit seal is extremely high.
Because of this, this Jiang Yuanjing can be regarded as extremely arrogant in Shili Village on weekdays, even the son of the village like Liu Tianqi does not pay attention to it, even if it is Jiang Yuankai, the son of the patriarch, he wants to let her score three points.
It is even rumored that Jiang Erniang, the helmsman of the Jiang family, has already set a family relationship for his son Jiang Yuankai and this Jiang Yuanjing, and when the two become adults, they will get married.
The biggest reason for this is Jiang Yuanjing's facial features.
Jiang Erniang is the only true martial artist of the Jiang family, although she has a high prestige among the Jiang family, but the son-in-law she recruited is not from the Jiang family, and Jiang Yuankai, as her only son, is not very popular with the old man of the Jiang family.
This Jiang Yuanjing is not only the bloodline of the Jiang family, but also the qualification of the middle grade.
Jiang Erniang wants to pave the way for her son to control the Jiang family in the future, and let Jiang Yuanjing be her daughter-in-law, which is very suitable.
The last teenager seems to be a lot more mature than Liu Tianqi and others.
This person's name is Han Hongyi, and he is three years older than Liu Tianqi.
Liu Tianqi knew that this person's family was poor, and he had saved gold coins for many years before he could get a qualification to go to Vortex Cloud Mountain.
In fact, there are many things like this, and although Han Hongyi has postponed it for three years, he still has such an opportunity after all.
There are also many poor young people, although they have good talents, but they don't even have the opportunity to get spirit bones.
By the time I got the spirit bones, I don't know how much time had passed.
In the entire Shili Village, there are about more than a hundred households, and the population is about eight or nine hundred, and the teenagers at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm will naturally not only have these four in front of them, but some teenagers can't afford the high cost of entering the Vortex Cloud Mountain Hunting Ground.
Of course, people like Zhou Yongge and Jiang Yuankai have already prepared spirit bones for them at home, and the quality is not bad, so naturally they will not go to Vortex Cloud Mountain to adventure again.
Liu Tianqi also has a medium-grade black-armored wolf spirit bone that can be absorbed, but in order to improve his authority and win a greater opportunity, he must go!
Jiang Yuanjing should also have spirit bones that can be absorbed, but it should be just ordinary spirit bones, which does not fit.
If you want to condense a rare natal spirit seal in the future, you must absorb the spirit bone that fits the five senses.
And the rare spirit bone that fits the five senses, with a small family in a mountain village, has no way to buy it, so she can only go to Vortex Cloud Mountain to fight.
Liu Shengtong saw that the people from the village who went to Vortex Cloud Mountain had arrived, so he nodded and said, "Let's go, don't miss the hour!"
Ten Thousand Beast Prefecture, counting the state city, there are a total of eleven cities, and each city has a hunting ground used by the Five Elements Sect to raise spirit beasts, and these hunting grounds are opened every year.
Every time it was opened, the disciples of the Five Elements Sect entered the hunting ground for the first round of harvesting, and the best quality spirit bones naturally fell into the hands of the disciples of the Five Elements Sect.
After the Five Elements Sect, the children of the various large and small sects and famous families in the Ten Thousand Beast Prefecture entered the second group, and after the remaining spirit bones in the hunting ground were searched again, it was the turn of the third group of people to enter the hunting ground.
This third group of people, nominally speaking, is aimed at the teenagers whose hunting ground is in the city and has reached the peak of the enlightenment realm.
And Liu Tianqi and others are the last group of people to enter the hunting ground.
After two consecutive harvests, there are very few spirit beasts left in the hunting ground, and even if there are some remains, most of them are not looked down upon by the first two groups, and most of them are low-grade spirit beasts.
Even so, the competition for the third place to enter the hunting ground is still extremely fierce in various villages and towns.
Although the third group entered the hunting ground, it was said that it was aimed at all the peak martial artists of the Enlightenment Realm in the entire Tiger City. However, the disciples of the Five Elements Sect who guarded the hunting ground, under the pretext of the limited number of spirit beasts in the hunting ground, privately limited the number of martial artists who could enter the hunting ground.
In addition to the quota allocated to the villages and towns, the rest of the quota for entering the hunting ground must be exchanged for gold coins, and the higher price will be obtained.
For example, Shili Village originally only had three places to enter the hunting ground, and in addition to Liu Tianqi, the remaining two places were in the hands of Yuan Chengzhi and Jiang Yuanjing, and behind these two people, they also represented the other two factions in Shili Village in addition to Murazheng.
As for Han Hongyi's quota, he naturally needs to exchange gold coins from the town. However, this quota is not something that can be exchanged for gold coins, especially for a poor martial artist like Han Hongyi.
Liu Shengtong saw that Han Hongyi was fifteen years old, and the whole family had saved a sum of gold coins by frugality, but there was no way to ask for help, and he couldn't bear it, so he asked for a way in the town and bought such a place.
Shili Village is about fifty miles away from Wuyun Mountain, and it is only an hour's distance to run with the footsteps of a wild bull.
Liu Tianqi's family's high-grade spirit beast Brute Niu piggybacked Han Hongyi, and Yuan Chengzhi took the Jiang family's middle-grade spirit beast Big Yellow Cow.
Everyone hurried along the way, and met two or three groups of warriors from various villages who also went to Wuyun Mountain on the way, and Liu Shengtong was also familiar with most of these people, so he walked all the way.
The hunting ground of Vortex Cloud Mountain is more than ten miles in radius, with Vortex Cloud Mountain as the center, the mountains are undulating inside, the forest is deep and the valley is secluded, the spirit beasts are dense, the poisons are numerous, and the large array under the Five Elements Sect is shrouded in the five elements on weekdays, looking up from the foot of the mountain, the whole mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist.
There are also disciples of the Five Elements Sect on duty at the entrance of the hunting ground day and night, which is opened once a year for the three opening realm martial artists to enter and exit.
Counting the quota issued in private, there are an average of three or four Enlightenment Realm martial artists in each village, and there are more than one hundred martial artists in this third wave who have entered the hunting ground.
At the foot of the Vortex Cloud Mountain, plus the accompanying villagers, village leaders, and family adults, the number of people almost reached about 300 people, in addition to some carriages, horses, and livestock, and the foot of the Vortex Cloud Mountain became noisy and abnormal for a while.
Everyone hurried to recuperate, but only Liu Tianqi looked at a python tendon bow hanging on the wild bull that his father was riding.
Although Liu Tianqi was only twelve years old, his cultivation of the Ten Directions Xuangong had greatly increased his strength, and the ten-stone bow in his hand was already soft, not to mention that his two pots of ironwood arrows still contained two superb arrows, and it was difficult for a non-strong bow to exert its maximum power.
"Dad, the child borrows your python tendon bow for use!"
Liu Shengtong had just lit a dry cigarette, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Hehe" and said, "Can you pull it away?"
Liu Tianqi saw that his father had expected this to be like this, and he instantly understood.
Liu Shengtong was afraid that he had already thought that the best arrows must use a strong bow of more than fifteen stones to exert their full power, otherwise, with the cultivation of his true martial artist, why would he hang a fifteen-stone python tendon bow on the back of a brute bull.
Liu Tianqi showed an eager expression on his face, and said, "The child wants to try!"
Just when Liu Tianqi asked his father for the python tendon big bow, he had already attracted the attention of several teenagers of the same age around him, but these teenagers obviously didn't think that Liu Tianqi could pull the python tendon big bow.
Disdain and mocking looks hung on the faces of these teenagers, and some even secretly prayed that Liu Tianqi had better hurt himself and quit the hunting ground, and they would have one less competitor.
However, in the gloating eyes of many of his peers, Liu Tianqi had already taken off the python tendon bow from the back of the bull.
Seeing this, Han Hongyi on the side hurriedly stepped forward and whispered:
"Brother Tianqi, at this time, it's better to store energy, don't waste your energy on useless things, lest people find out the details of your own house!"
This Han Hongyi is a kind person, but Liu Tianqi also has his own considerations, turned his head and said in a low voice: "Brother Hongyi, don't worry, I'm sure!"
Han Hongyi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, Liu Tianqi's move, Liu Shengtong, the village leader on the side, did not persuade him, naturally he had a deep meaning, so he nodded and let it aside.
Liu Tianqi sank his waist and condensed, holding the bow in one hand and pulling the string in the other, and with a "hey", he directly pulled the python tendon bow open by eight points.
