Now that the martial arts are prosperous, the most influential is not An Yunguo and the surrounding countries, but the three ninth-level martial sects.

With the royal capital of An Yun Kingdom as the center, within a radius of thousands of miles, there are a total of four countries, including An Yun Kingdom, all of which are under the clamp and influence of the three ninth-level martial sects, these three ninth-level martial sects are Luoxia Sect, Sun-Breaking Sect and Xuanxin Sect.

Xuanxin Sect is the first major sect of the three major martial arts sects, which has existed for more than 300 years, and is the most anticipated and yearning martial arts holy place for countless martial cultivators in the four countries.

It's just that the conditions for the Xuanxin Sect to recruit disciples are extremely harsh, and there are countless people from the four countries who participate in the assessment every year, but there are very few people who can pass the assessment of the Xuanxin Sect, but once he joins the Xuanxin Sect, he will be able to cultivate every day, and he will at least be a high-ranking martial artist.

The high-ranking martial artists are the objects of contention among the four countries, and once they are recruited, they are at least the positions of generals, so in the ninth-level martial arts assessment over the years, many martial cultivators will sharpen their heads, and strive to be able to enter the Xuanxin Sect, even if they can't, they will enter the highly-ranked ninth-level martial sect.

There is still a month left before the ninth-level martial arts assessment, and Kunshan City, as one of the assessment points, has already gathered many young martial cultivators from various cities.

The place with the highest concentration of martial cultivators in Kunshan City is Guiyun Pavilion.

The main reason is that there are some special cultivation secret rooms in Guiyun Pavilion, and many martial cultivators want to take this opportunity to sharpen themselves in order to improve the probability of passing the guò assessment.

The Guiyuan Pavilion has stations in each of the cities of Shikoku, and mainly deals in various potions, weapons, and even holds regular auctions, but the most operated items are released tasks, including hunting fierce beasts, tracking, finding, and recruiting.

The Guiyun Pavilion of Kunshan City is located in the east of the city, covers an area of 1,000 acres, there are three floors of pavilions, the entrance is magnificent, the plaque is made of gold essence, the doorway pillars are all made of the whole 10,000-year-old sandalwood, and find the skilled craftsmen, burn the exquisite patterns.

Ye Xiang walked into the Guiyuan Pavilion, and this time he came over mainly to hand over the tasks that had been completed not long ago.

Martial cultivators spend money like running water, whether it is cultivation or experience, they need a lot of funds, and the expenditure of medicinal herbs alone is very amazing, after all, when cultivating, it is easy to hurt the muscles and bones, and a large number of blood-invigorating herbs are needed to nourish the muscles and bones, otherwise it is easy to leave dark wounds.

Ye Xiang is not like other cultivators, he has the support of his family, he can only rely on himself, and for the past two years, he has relied on taking on some small tasks such as finding medicinal herbs to make a living, after all, he has to cultivate, as well as ordinary expenses, and he has to pay a martial arts fee to the Kunshan City Martial Palace every year.

"Ye Xiang, here?" An old man with a goatee greeted him familiarly.

"Momber, this is the Night Sun Grass." Ye Xiang smiled slightly, took out the Night Sun Grass, and went in and out of the Guiyuan Pavilion for a long time, he was already very familiar with Meng Bo.

"Well, thirty copper crystals, put it away." Momber took out thirty copper crystals.

After putting away the thirty bronze crystals, Ye Xiang glanced at the task list above.

There are a lot of tasks, there are some new tasks, and there are old tasks that have been placed for many years and no one has completed them, and it takes a certain amount of vision to take over the tasks, and they must be selected one by one to select the most suitable ones, but this time Ye Xiang did not find any suitable ones, and was about to retract his gaze, when suddenly the corner of his eye noticed a task at the top.

"Hunt the first-order fierce beast in the Lianyun Mountain Range, the Tiger Roaring Beast, take off the single horn, and the reward is three gold crystals, a bottle of primary-level qi fixing elixir, the age limit, under seventeen years old." Ye Xiang touched his chin and thought about it.

The price of three gold crystals is equivalent to three hundred silver crystals, and when they are exchanged for copper crystals, it is thirty thousand, which is equal to the price of one hundred night sun grasses.

A night sun grass, Ye Xiang has been looking for nearly half a month before he can get thirty copper crystals.

What made Ye Xiang's heart flutter the most was the bottle of primary-level qi fixing elixir, this thing had the effect of condensing qi solids, he had just broken through to the ninth-order martial apprentice level, and his internal qi was unstable, if he relied on himself to slowly stabilize, it would take at least three months or more.

If you have this primary-level qi fixing elixir, you can not only stabilize your internal qi, but also increase your strength by one or two points.

There is still a month to go to the ninth-level sect assessment, and Ye Xiang plans to give it a try.

"Momber, I'm going to take on this task." Ye Xiang said.

"You want to pick it up?" Meng Bo's face changed slightly, "Ye Xiang, you have to see clearly, this is a hunting first-order fierce beast Tiger Roaring Beast, the strength of this order fierce beast is comparable to that of a martial artist, ordinary weapons are difficult to hurt, listen to Meng Bo's words, don't lose your life for this task." ”

"I want to try, don't worry, Momber, I have my own measure." Ye Xiang said.

"You kid...... Alas......"

Seeing Ye Xiang's resolute attitude, Meng Bo no longer persuaded him, and reluctantly took down the task and helped Ye Xiang register, if it weren't for the fact that the two were more familiar, Meng Bo wouldn't have bothered to persuade him, anyway, there were not ten or eight martial cultivators who died every day because of doing tasks.

Meng Bo handed over the task to Ye Xiang and admonished: "Be careful, if you see that the situation is not good, flee immediately, and it is important to save your life." ”

"I understand, thank you Momber."

After putting away the animal skin for the recording task, Ye Xiang turned around and left.

Seeing Ye Xiang leave, Meng Bo sighed and shook his head helplessly.

About a quarter of an hour later, a middle-aged man and another old man in plain robes walked into the Guiyuan Pavilion, these two people looked ordinary, but their eyes were as sharp as man, and the exposed skin was full of crystal white luster.

There are four levels of martial artists, divided into lower, middle, upper and great martial artists, each level has a big gap, and above the martial artist is the martial artist, which is also four layers.

The martial artist was in the four countries, and he enjoyed rich courtesy, but now he appeared in Kunshan City, and the two of them appeared together, fortunately no one noticed, otherwise it would have caused an uproar.

The clothes of the two look ordinary on the surface, but the cuffs are vaguely embroidered with a special logo, the old man in the plain robe is the scorching sun seal embroidered with copper wire, and the middle-aged man is the Xuanzi pattern, these two logos represent the second ranked Sun Breaking Sect and the first Xuanxin Sect among the ninth-level martial arts sects respectively.

"Brother Jin Luo, what are your plans when you return to the Broken Sun Sect?" The middle-aged man asked the old man in the plain robe who walked in together, although the two were not from different sects, they had already known each other.

"What else can I plan, naturally I have been cultivating for a while. Now An Yunguo is getting worse and worse, although there are many martial cultivators, but their qualifications are too poor, I waited for the task to be released in the Eighteen Cities, and only six people were accepted, but none of them were able to complete it. The plain-robed old man named Jin Luo sighed slightly.

"It's good to dare to take on this task, can you expect them to complete it? The first-order Tiger Roaring Beast, although it was comparable to a lower-rank martial artist, its speed reached that of a middle-rank martial artist, Cheng Dù. Moreover, this beast has some intelligence, if it is defeated, it will flee immediately, and only a mid-level martial artist can be sure to kill it. ”

The middle-aged man said: "It is already very rare for someone under the age of seventeen to reach the level of a lower-level martial artist, let alone a middle-level martial artist. ”

"Indeed." Jin Luo nodded in agreement.

This task was promulgated by the two major sects together to secretly select disciples with great potential, and the two of them had already traveled seventeen cities, none of which could be completed, and Kunshan City was the last place.

"Huh? Quest hides missing? Jin Luo was a little surprised.

"It seems that someone has taken the task, but I am surprised that there are still people in this small Kunshan city who dare to take this task." Luo Shan touched his chin.

"I guess I want to give it a try, but this tiger roaring beast is not easy to mess with, and I hope to come back with my life. Brother Luo Shan, we don't want to go back today, let's stay in Kunshan City for one night for the time being, and then return to the sect after the mission is withdrawn tomorrow. ”

"That's all there is to it."

……

The Lianyun Mountains are located hundreds of miles outside the city of Kunshan, with rolling peaks, one after another, and it is said that there are as many as 100,000 peaks alone.

The martial cultivators of Kunshan City are generally active within five hundred miles close to the side of Kunshan City, and basically will not go out of five hundred miles, the mountains and forests are intricate, and the deeper they go, the more difficult it is to discern the direction, and getting lost is secondary, and if they encounter terrible beasts, they may die.

Ye Xiang spent fifty copper crystals to buy a map of the distribution of fierce beasts in the Lianyun Mountain Range, which marked the areas where nearly a hundred kinds of fierce beasts probably appeared, most of them were non-rank fierce beasts, and only a small number of first-order fierce beasts.

Coming to the vicinity of Wenbi Peak, where tiger roaring beasts are often infested, Ye Xiang squatted behind a rock and waited, he had already inquired, there was a tiger roaring beast nearby, and someone else encountered it yesterday, and he almost died.

From time to time, strange screams and roars came from the depths, and people were horrified to hear.

"I don't know how my luck was today, I hope it won't be too bad." Ye Xiang said in his heart.

Rustling......

The sound suddenly came from the front, and in the dense jungle, a black shadow appeared, sweeping like the wind, and the grass around it seemed to be cut by a sharp weapon, breaking at the waist, and a fierce beast with a tiger's head and a body length jumped out, and a row of sharp bone spurs around the sides of the abdomen slowly converged.

"It's coming...... Ye Xiang's eyes shrank, and he slowly pulled out a dagger.
