Chapter 4: I Am Not a Rat Demon
The next day, the sky was white, and the disciples of the Tianwu Sect returned from training and came to the Tianwu Inn on Xuannan City.
"Come in, Senior Brother Li is waiting for you on the second floor!" Shopkeeper Gou Xun looked at the returning disciple and said hurriedly.
Tianwu Inn is the direct industry of Tianwu Sect, and it is a rest and transit station for the disciples of this sect in the mountainous area near Xuannan City.
On the second floor, a black-robed brocade-robed monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood at the window, glancing at the disciples who had returned under the light, still as usual, many of them came back, but they were all scarred and their clothes were tattered, and the captain Ning Changkong, who led the team, seemed to crawl out of the mud, covered in mud.
Everyone came to the second floor and saw Li Ke, the leader of the team.
"I've seen Senior Brother Li!" Everyone saluted.
"Why are you so embarrassed?" Li Ke removed the dirt from the disciples with a dust removal technique, which was a little more pleasing to the eye.
The trials on the outermost part of Xuanyin Mountain are generally very rare, the demon beasts are all below the sixth order of qi training, and a group of disciples of the third and fourth orders of qi cultivation besiege a fifth or sixth order demon beast, although it is difficult, they can still be taken. Moreover, the major forces have unwritten rules, and monks above the foundation are not allowed to interfere in the competition and trial of the trial disciples.
Li Ke had great self-confidence, believing that the qualifications of his junior brothers and sisters were better than most of the other sects, so he was too lazy to move, and he was chic and happy in the town, and did not follow the past. I didn't expect this group of guys to be so unhelpful, and they came back in embarrassment.
Qiao Lan hurriedly told the story of the incident.
"Purple Spirit Flower?!Are you really lucky, you actually ran into a flowering Purple Spirit Flower on the outermost periphery of the Xuanyin Mountain Range, and there was a spirit beast that stole food?!"
"Spirit beasts? How is that possible, hahaha!! Li Kehahaha laughed, how could there be spirit beasts on the periphery of the Xuanyin Mountain Range, even in the innermost part of the Xuanyin Mountain, there were not necessarily a few spirit beasts, but the demon beasts were everywhere.
Although the Xuanyin Mountain Range is very large, there are still very few spirit beasts with high IQ in the forests where fierce beasts and monsters are everywhere.
"It's just a stupid monster." Li Ke said with a smile, maybe the junior brothers and sisters misunderstood, it was not that the IQ was high, but that the demon beast was too stupid.
"I don't know this kind of demon beast either, it will escape to the ground, it should be able to escape to the land so fearlessly to steal the purple spirit orchid to eat." Ning Changkong carried the spirit rope from his arms and pulled Lin Chuyue out of his arms.
Lin Chuyue was sleeping soundly, and suddenly left the warm environment, her hands and feet were lifted up, and she was suddenly so frightened that she didn't feel sleepy.
"Senior Brother Ning, did you catch it? Haha, I really thought you lost this little thing. Qiao Lan happily looked at the fluffy little animal with limbs tied in Ning Changkong's hands.
Why does it look so cute, a fluffy lump, round ears, big eyes, pink plum blossom-shaped flesh fists, Qiao Lan's eyes are glued to Lin Chuyue's body.
"Huh?! What is this? ”
The fellow disciples who came up looked at this "demon beast" curiously and asked curiously, "Senior Brother Li, what kind of animal is this?" ”
"Is it a hairy mouse? Hairy! ”
"No, where are rats so cute!" Qiao Lan pinched Lin Chuyue's belly with her hands, and Lin Chuyue's limbs resisted and resisted her to pinch her belly.
"Meow, meow~!" Don't pinch my stomach, it's so itchy!
"It can meow!!" The crowd was amazed, "It is strange that it has no tail, ears like a mouse, and paws like a cat!" ”
"Hahaha, Senior Brother Ning, it can learn to meow!! Hahaha, it's so cute, can I raise this little thing? Qiao Lan smiled in surprise and rubbed Lin Chuyue's head.
Everyone else was amazed as the gray mouse-eared animal meowed.
Li Ke was also confused by the small animal in front of him, and it was the first time he had seen this kind of demon beast, "It should be a local short-tailed rat demon, this one seems to be mutated, better than the ordinary rat demon, and it is still in the juvenile stage." ”
Ning Changkong heard that it was a mutant rat demon, thinking that he was still carefully putting it in his arms, he immediately felt goosebumps rising, and looked at Lin Chuyue's eyes with more disgust and diaphragm.
"Huh?! It's a rat demon! "A lot of people are starting to get disappointed, because they fought with a group of people for this little thing, and everyone was hung with a lottery, and it turned out to be a stupid rat demon!
"The spirit grass that we have been guarding for a day and a night has been plagued by such a thing, the purple spirit flower is the basic medicine of Zhuji Dan, if it weren't for it, we would have been able to get a flowering elixir, it's all this thing!" Wu Zhiyou, the little fat man on the side, was worried about the incompleteness of the purple spirit flower, a complete and fully blooming purple spirit flower is worth a lot more than the purple spirit flower that is only half open, and one more flower is more than a price, and Tsukidan uses this kind of completely open flower. The hateful thing is that this little thing gnawed the root of the purple spirit flower, otherwise it would be used again after a few hundred years.
"Yes, when the time comes, give this little thing to Uncle Yang to take to alchemy." Some disciples saw that this was just an ordinary little demon beast, and they immediately had no good impression of Lin Chuyue at all.
It's useless to sell cuteness.
"No!! This is a demon beast cub, how can a spirit plant be compared? Qiao Lan was anxious, "And this is what Senior Brother Ning caught!" ”
Whoever catches it belongs to whom, this was originally Ning Changkong's right to decide.
"Senior Brother Ning, I'll exchange ten spirit stones with you, can you give it to me to raise? You see, how cute it is, it will escape, such a small one, take it to alchemy, how pitiful. Qiao Lan took the gray dumplings from Ning Changkong's hands.
When Qiao Lan saw Senior Brother Li say that this little guy was a mouse, the little guy barked at Senior Brother Li, with a fierce expression, indicating that this little thing was very disgusted by people calling it a mouse.
Lin Chuyue opened her eyes wide and looked at the beautiful girl in front of her who was still wearing baby fat, maybe it was okay to be a monk's spiritual pet, someone raised it, she just needed to sell cute, although it was a bit shameful, but it was also a way to live, and it was said that it was better to die than to live.
"Meow~" Lin Chuyue screamed softly at Qiao Lan, making Qiao Lan feel confused, if she hadn't thought that this was a rat demon cub, she would have wanted to kiss it.
However, Lin Chuyue seems to prefer the kid surnamed Ning, not her color, but the smell on his body that smells delicious, and as for being caught at that time, he would forget the danger, and couldn't help touching it, if it wasn't for a slap on the ass, she really wanted to follow her instinct to lick twice.
"Phew!" She would have such a dirty idea that she wouldn't lick it even if she was killed!
But if she chooses a long-term meal ticket, she thinks that guy might be better, very definite intuition.
Lin Chuyue carefully sniffed the smell of other people in the air, but it was not very good, and she did not have the idea of getting close.
"Is this little guy hungry, little nose sniffing?" No matter how Qiao Lan looks at it now, she thinks the hair ball in her hand is cute.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you."
The first time Ning Changkong saw a demon beast of this species, he would hide it so carefully, and hide it from the door, and only when he returned to the Zongmen Inn did he dare to let the well-informed Senior Brother Li help him see it, and the result was a mutated rat demon? He was a huge disappointment.
"Ah, thank you so much Senior Brother Ning!!" Qiao Lan happily thanked her and held Lin Chuyue in her arms, "In the future, your little guy will be mine!" ”
"Okay, the purple spirit flower will be handed over to me for safekeeping, and you all should hurry up and rest. Go get the medicine and go back to the sect tomorrow. Li Ke looked at the commotion of a group of people and waved his hand.
Li Ke is only nineteen years old this year, he has just built the foundation, and the deacons of the sect who brought disciples before and before have come out to lead the team several times.
His ancestor is an elder of the sect, and his status is relatively high, once he has such a good errand, he naturally thinks about his own people first.
The disciples left one after another, and after replenishing the elixir for healing the wounds and spirits at the shopkeeper Gou Xun on the first floor, they each found a room to meditate and rest.
In the hall on the first floor, Ning Changkong, who had changed his clothes, was exchanging materials with Gou Xun, many of the belongings in this disciple's trial belonged to public property, most of the invaluable ones were handed over to the store in exchange for sect contributions and materials, and the rest of the valuable ones were brought back to the sect.
Qiao Lan hugged Lin Chuyue, who had been untied, and followed Ning Changkong, seeing that he had just finished changing, she said, "Senior Brother Ning, my first time in Xuannan City, can you take me to the town for a walk?" It's so rare to come out once~"
Ning Changkong looked at Qiao Lan's expectant eyes, thinking that the town was full of various forces and the streets were prosperous, so he nodded and agreed.
Qiao Lan happily hugged Lin Chuyue and rubbed it again.
Lin Chuyue, who took the pet route, was rubbed with messy fluff, the boss was unhappy, you are excited, you rub him, why are you rubbing me? It's not easy to be a pet, there is no human right!
Waiting for the two to leave, Gou Xun frowned and thought, what kind of monster is that girl holding in her hand? Tailless? There are still people who are willing to raise such low-level demon beasts?
On Xuannan City, the forces of the Xuanyin Mountain Range, including the Misty Forest, within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, will more or less establish one or two strongholds, one is to purchase the resources in the hands of the monks who have just come out of the mountain range, and the other is also to serve as a sect force to receive the sect disciples who come to experience the trial, and also as the backing of the sect to protect the disciples here.
Although the Tianwu Sect has fallen off the altar and has no god-level guardians, the sect's heritage is still there, and it can squeeze into the top ten of the Cloud Illusion Continent. The sect is guarded by earth immortals and half-step heavenly immortals.
In the Cloud Fantasy Continent, the realm of monks is divided into Qi Gathering, Qi Training, Foundation Building, Jin Dan, Yuan Baby, Half Immortal, Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Da Luo Jin Immortal, Golden Immortal, Half-step Transformation God, and God.
Since the Great Chaos Period 100,000 years ago, there had been no cultivators above the Heavenly Immortal level in the Cloud Illusion Continent.
Ning Changkong took Qiao Lan to the bustling streets, where mortals and monks were mixed.
Lin Chuyue's eyes widened and she admired the prosperity of this other world.
There are stalls on the roadside, there are monks and mortals.
Most of the monks below the foundation of Xuanyin Mountain came to practice, and the monks below the foundation all need to eat, so there are more restaurants and food stalls on both sides.
The streets and alleys are full of all kinds of food, and the vendors are shouting and attracting customers.
Lin Chuyue couldn't help but sniff when she looked at those tempting foods, but the fragrance she had smelled in her nose in the past had changed and become strange, and they couldn't seduce her appetite at all.
This discovery made Lin Chuyue, who was a rabbit, deeply appreciate the power of bloodline apartheid. Her grilled sausages! Her fried tofu and her fried meat skewers are not fragrant?!
With tears in her eyes, will she have to eat vegetable leaves and radishes in the future? Her barbecue feast, woo woo!
Qiao Lan was curious to look here and there all the way, especially those shiny ornaments that attracted her attention.
It's a pity that Ning Changkong, who walked ahead, couldn't see this, and even if he saw it, he would urge her to keep up and not fall behind.
Qiao Lan looked at the senior brother of the wooden man in front of her, feeling a little regretful and sad in her heart.
And Ning Changkong's eyes would mostly stay on the food that smelled better, "Senior Sister Qiao, do you have anything you want to eat?" ”
"Not hungry yet."
Since the junior sister is not greedy, Ning Changkong is embarrassed to buy those snacks.
Passing by a jewelry stall, Qiao Lan called out to Ning Changkong: "Senior Brother Ning, wait for me for a moment." ”
She held a flower hairpin inlaid with several round pale pink pearls and asked the boss, "Boss, how much is this?" ”
"Girl has a good eye, this is the best pearl produced by the Fantasy Sea, but it is a pink pearl bred by the sea mussel demon, and the vulgar thing is fifty taels of gold, or fifty spirit beads~!" The peddler hurriedly said with a smile on his face.
"It's obviously an ordinary pearl, and I dare to say that it was produced with the sea clam demon! Sister, let's go. Ning Changkong said that he was about to leave with Qiaolan, the pearls raised by the sea clam demon are with spiritual power, and they cannot be bought cheaply for fifty spirit beads.
In fact, this price is not too expensive, fifty spirit beads are only the price of half a spirit stone, but Ning Changkong, the straight man of steel, is dissatisfied with the hawker's casual nonsense.
"Oh, tsk, fifty spirit beads can't be produced~! Girl, it's better to follow my brother, don't say fifty spirit beads, it's fifty spirit stones, five hundred spirit stones, I'll buy them for you! A young man dressed in black and red on the side suddenly laughed.
Ning Changkong turned around and looked, it turned out to be a familiar face, a person from Lingwu Hall.
