Chapter Eighty-Seven: Spirit Crystal
The first half of the trade route to Fulong City is straight and smooth, and it begins to wind in the back, because it has to go around some jungle hills and streams, as well as rushing waterfalls and steep mountain roads.
There are less than ten remaining soul hunters in the Salamander Guild, all of whom act as bodyguards to protect the caravan of about two dozen people, who are also heading to Fulong City.
The long journey is quite hard, especially on this dog day, when the jungle is extremely hot and the weather is hot and humid.
Although it was late autumn, the weather in the mountains and forests was changing, and not long ago, there was a mountain rain, which caught a group of caravans off guard and hid in the forest to avoid the rain.
The little princess and Zhou Qilang are leisurely, and they quarrel and quarrel every day. However, in the mountain road leading to Fulong City, the scenery is strangely beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the trees are lush, and from time to time there are cute little spirit beasts jumping out, curiously watching everyone.
The air after the rain is fresh, inhaled into the lungs, a burst of refreshment.
The little princess especially enjoyed this pleasant natural scene, and the whole person was happy, and she had long forgotten that she was still a captive, and she was happy and happy along the way, bouncing and jumping, catching butterflies and teasing spirit animals.
Since she grew up in the deep courtyard of the palace, it was the first time for her to see such a beautiful scenery, and she was naturally surprised and felt extremely fresh.
Of course, it was not peaceful along the way, there were several groups of bandits and bandits, but in the hands of the deputy head and the remaining spirit hunters, they were all defeated and scattered, after all, they were a rabble, and they were vulnerable in front of powerful monks.
The little princess was full of worries, looking at the fleeing bandits, looking at them with a blank eye, and muttering: "A bunch of stupid thieves, so useless, you can't even beat a few reckless." ”
And a group of people looked at her like monsters, this little girl has a bad brain.
Zhou Qilang, who was harmed, was subjected to all kinds of cold suspicions from the big guys, causing many people to be estranged from them, afraid of any risks.
Occasionally, those spirit hunters would go into the woods when the big ones were resting, hunt some small spirit beasts, and take their inner pills.
The inner pill of the spirit beast is actually the crystallization of their cultivation results, also known as the spirit crystal, according to the density and size of the spirit crystal, it is easy to distinguish the level of the spirit beast or the use of the spirit crystal.
Moreover, the spirit crystal of the spirit beast is also a high-value thing, and it is also a circulating commodity in the market, one is that it can depict the formation, the second is that it can be used in medicine, and the third is that it can be used for the cultivation of monks.
Traveling all the way, I didn't encounter any more dangerous spirit beasts, and occasionally some spirit beasts that didn't have long eyes jumped out, but they were rounded up by several spirit hunters, and they easily obtained Neidan.
Wang Chong is a thief, and he has obtained a lot of spirit beast spirit crystals along the way, all of which are carried in his small cloth pocket, printed with blood red and dyed with some blood.
The little princess disliked him for being too murderous, and every time she saw him hunting those lovely spirit beasts, she would scold him viciously.
The tall and thin deputy head of the regiment said gloomily: "Wang Chong, this guy, wants to enter the Tianshu Academy in Fulong City, but the admission price is extremely high, so this is why you two are burdensome." And spirit crystals can be sold for money, I don't like him very much, he hunts no matter what spirit beasts, and he has no brains!"
Zhou Qilang understood, but he didn't say too much, everyone's way of doing things is different, and he has his own goals.
"Tianshu Academy? Sounds like a good place to go. Zhou Qilang pinched his chin and said intently.
"Idiot, do you think that anyone can enter the Tianshu Academy? A slut like you, don't even think about it, it will dirty the prestige of the Tianshu Academy. The little princess crossed her arms and deliberately sneered.
"Little brother, do you want to go too? Wang Chong was clever, brushed his red beard, and leaned over to look at Zhou Qilang.
"Yes, but the price is ......" Zhou Qilang heard the gloomy deputy head say, the price is extremely high, not like you can enter casually.
"Hey, little brother, don't worry, as long as this number, I can keep you in. Wang Chong smiled and slapped him.
"Five hundred?!" Zhou Qilang said in surprise.
"It's not much, you can mix it up with a disciple from the outer court. Wang Chong said yearningly, it seemed that as long as he was a disciple of the outer court, he would be satisfied.
"Damn, five hundred gold coins is only a disciple of the outer court, grab the money!" Zhou Qilang shouted incredulously, really startling him.
"Hey, Brother Zhou laughed, five hundred gold coins is not much. You have to understand that as a disciple of the Heavenly Book Academy, the benefits are far from imaginable, how many high-ranking officials and nobles have squeezed their heads and want to enter, how many heroes have broken their heads and want to become a disciple of the Heavenly Book Academy, even if it is just a small peripheral disciple, it is the supreme glory!"
Wang Chong said, his face was full of admiration and envy, as if he had gone mad.
"What the hell is the origin of the Heavenly Book Academy, so powerful?" Zhou Qilang was puzzled, frowned and asked, he hadn't known much before.
This Tianshu Academy, which has existed for thousands of years, is well-known and famous in the Eastern Wilderness and the Central Plains. It has coordinated the disputes between the two continents more than once, and there are many talents in it, and in this world, forty percent of the top ten masters are estimated to be from Tianshu Academy!"
"Take Zhao Guo's Protector for example, he used to be just an outer court disciple of the Heavenly Book Academy, but now, the dignified Zhao Kingdom's Protector is amazing!" Wang Chong explained with a flutter of eyebrows.
Zhou Qilang didn't have much concept before, but as soon as he heard that the Lord of Zhao Guo, that is, Qi Huguo, was only an outer court disciple of Tianshu Academy, he immediately knew that this Tianshu Academy was really not simple, and it was very likely that it was as Redbeard said.
"Tianshu Academy, okay, I also want to see what kind of place this Tianshu Academy is. Zhou Qilang's heart moved, and he was ready to investigate, which was a good choice.
"Slut, are you really going?" asked the little princess, confused.
"Yes, since this Tianshu Academy is so powerful, it is a place to stay, I really want to go and see it. ”
"No! resolutely don't go!" The little princess suddenly became unhappy, and strongly objected, as if she was letting her break into the tiger's den in Longtan.
"I didn't let you go again......" Zhou Qilang was puzzled, looking at the little princess who was almost crying, a little confused.
A few days later, they walked into a valley in the mountains, and although it was nearly noon, the tall trees on both sides of the road had obscured the blazing sun, so they did not feel so hot.
While everyone was resting and talking, a fishy wind suddenly poured out of the forest, and the earth trembled slightly, and groups of wild beasts appeared from the forest and ran forward.
The deputy commander of the salamander screamed badly and hurriedly gathered people to prepare for battle.
