Chapter 759: Twilight Akita Hunting
Xian Yu Xiaoyang's explanation and warm invitation aroused Su Aotian's deeper suspicions, and he intuitively felt that Xian Yu Xiaoyang did not just want him to escort the goods, but had another purpose. Now from the affectionate smile of Xian Yuxiao, it is impossible to sense whether he has malicious intentions, but Su Aotian keenly senses that it will not be a good thing.
But Xian Yu Xiaoyang wanted to go to the capital, but it aroused Su Aotian's interest. He came to the Bright Mansion to inquire about the news, and the closer he was to the Bright Mansion, the more people were able to come out and be well-informed, and the people there must know more about the things of the Nether Ascendant. He also thought that if Luo Wentian and Luo Yingsleeve really appeared in the Guangming Mansion, they would soon be able to stand out with their qualifications and be recruited by some famous families.
Therefore, after muttering for a while, he accepted Xian Yu Xiaoyang's invitation and continued to follow him south. Xian Yu Xiaoyang was very happy, and immediately let Su Aotian stay here, and set off together after he packed up. Su Aotian politely declined this, saying that he also needed to prepare, and he would definitely show up on time when he set a date.
Xian Yu Xiaoyang was slightly disappointed, and looked deeply afraid that Su Aotian would break his promise. However, Su Aotian was resolute, he really needed to purchase and refine some rune treasures, of course, this kind of thing could not be known to Xian Yu Xiaoyang. If he is harboring evil intentions, then these means will give him a surprise blow when necessary, so it must be hidden deeply.
Seeing this situation, Yu Xiaoyang no longer persuaded him, and took out a high-level spiritual weapon, an extremely sharp sword, and gave it to him, saying that it was a thank you gift for him to resolve the crisis, but Su Aotian politely declined on the grounds that it was not suitable. Xian Yu Xiaoyang couldn't, and after setting the date, he personally sent Su Aotian to the door, saying that he would be here to wait and see, and told Su Aotian not to let him down and wait, and remember the date to come to meet.
The more Su Aotian thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, but Xian Yu Po Yang might be plotting against him, and in turn, Su Aotian wanted to use Xian Yu Po Yang. The family behind him may have powerful figures, but he rarely promotes his half-saint cultivation, and he is not a threat to himself at all, so he will watch him coldly and see what his plans are, and if necessary, he will attack in advance and take him by surprise first.
Su Aotian rented a quiet room in an inn, and began refining talisman treasures after placing a ban. Recently, he carefully studied the rune treasures of the psychic realm in the Jiao bracelet, and there were a total of three at that time, and there were still two left after using one. These two runes were kept because he was chased and ran out of oil, and he didn't have the ability to urge them, otherwise he would have taken them out to deal with the elites of the various races in the spirit world who were tracking and killing him.
These runes could only give him some inspiration, and there was nothing left to learn from in refining, and he was already a master in this regard. Through these two rune treasures, he has roughly mastered the refining tips of the psychic realm rune treasures, and he only needs to start refining them after his cultivation is improved. And now, he can only refine a rune treasure equivalent to the power of the saint realm, and it is simply a knife to deal with Xian Yu Xiaoyang, and the rune treasure of the psychic realm is ready to deal with the powerful people who may appear behind him.
Due to the limited time, he only completed the refining of five Sage Realm rune treasures, and then came to the shop of the Xianyu Yang family as promised. Xian Yu Xiaoyang was already ready to stop, just waiting for him to arrive, seeing that Su Aotian did not break his promise, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and after expressing a warm welcome to Su Aotian, he ordered everyone to set off immediately.
Among the people accompanying him this time, there were a few different from the last time he set off from the market town, and Steward Zhang was not among them, and a steward surnamed Dong was in charge of some trivial matters. Coming to the south gate of Luonan City, there are still thirty immortal cultivators waiting here, and the cultivation is still mainly in the fairy realm, and there are only a few in the sub-saint and spirit fairy realm, which is almost the same as the staffing last time.
Su Aotian was able to ride in the beast cart with Xian Yu Xiaoyang and others this time, and there was no specific duty, Xian Yu Xiaoyang only needed him to contribute when he was in danger, and he didn't need to work hard at other times, and he did it himself. This arrangement made Su Aotian feel a little awkward, as if he was not a mercenary hired by him, but a guest bodyguard or something.
The road was unusually smooth, there were almost no twists and turns, and the capital was far away, but it could be reached in half a day. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived here, knowing that the journey had been successfully completed, and the mercenaries were overjoyed, secretly calling for luck that they had earned a sum of mercenary money without any risk.
Su Aotian felt a little awkward, along the way, it was not so much that he was hired to protect the goods that were fresh in the young, but that he was stained with the light of the fresh. He planned to explain to Xian Yu Xiaoyang when he got to the ground that he would not take any of the commission this time. At this moment, Xian Yu Po Yang suddenly beckoned to him, and then took him to a beast cart, which was empty, obviously Xian Yu Po Yang had already retreated in advance.
Su Aotian secretly said that Yu Yang really had other purposes, and looking at his solemn appearance, it was not trivial. After the two sat down, Xian Yu Xiaoyang also placed a ban before he opened his mouth and said to him: "I don't know if Brother Dongfang has ever heard of the Twilight Akita hunting?"
It was the first time Su Aotian had heard of the word "Twilight Akita Hunting", and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of confusion.
Xian Yu Xiaoyang saw it in his eyes, smiled with satisfaction, and then said something to Su Aotian.
According to him, the Twilight Akita Hunt is a traditional activity, similar in nature to an elite selection competition, and the candidates who participate in the Twilight Akita Hunt are the outstanding elites of various races in the Bright Mansion, as well as other strange people with special skills. Similar activities are held in each of the five provinces of the spiritual world, although the names are different, but the nature is exactly the same, they are all selected to select the elites of each province, and finally participate in the spiritual world competition held in the central Cangxuan Mansion to compete for honor and treasures.
All the races in the spirit world, especially those who are powerful, feel that they are superior to others, and they all want to distinguish between each other. But these ethnic groups, the people are not prosperous, and they dare not talk about the war lightly, so they came up with such a non-harming competition method, and the junior elites of the clan will obtain high and low rankings through activities such as competitions, as a proof of which is stronger and which is weak.
Of course, such a ranking does not really represent the true level of all ethnic groups, and can only be used as a reference for whether the younger generations are promising. However, the juniors represent the future of the race, and from this point of view, there is some truth in using the results of the ranking of the juniors as a proof of the strength of the race, so the spiritual races also attach great importance to this, and the children of the clan are also proud of achieving good results in the big competition.
The Spirit Realm Contest in Cangxuan Mansion is scheduled to be held once every 500,000 years, while the Twilight Akita Hunt in Guangming Mansion does not stipulate a special time, and in 500,000 years, it may be held once, twice, or even several times, depending on the growth of the elites of various races in the Spirit Realm during these 100,000 years. If there are many elite talents in these 500,000 years, then the Twilight Akita Hunting Festival will be held more than once, and if there are no talents, it can only be held once, and then they will go to participate in the big competition of Cangxuan Mansion.
After Xian Yu Xiaoyang finished saying this, Su Aotian was still a little confused, so he asked: "Brother Xian Yu, listen to what you said, this Dusk Akita hunt seems to be an extremely grand activity in the Guangming Mansion, and all ethnic groups attach great importance to it, it stands to reason that it should be widely spread and familiar to everyone, why have I never heard of it? And those mercenaries are all people who have traveled from south to north and have extraordinary experience, and they seem to have never heard of it?"
Xian Yu Xiaoyang was a little proud, and said: "Brother Dongfang, you don't know that this twilight Akita hunting is normal. Not only you, but even in the realm of many saints, there are many people who have never known about this. The reason for this is simply because although the Twilight Akita Hunt can be said to be one of the most important things in the Bright Mansion, there are very few people who are qualified to know about it, especially the human race, this matter is only circulated among a very few people who are qualified to know, and it will never be leaked. I'm one of the families who are qualified to know about this, and I also have an important responsibility to recruit talents for the Twilight Akita Hunt and recommend them to participate in the event. ”
Su Aotian still didn't understand Xian Yu Xiaoyang's purpose, so he asked: "Since this matter is so solemn, I, Dongfang Bai, a mercenary, are never qualified to know according to my brother's words, I don't know what my brother's intention is to tell me about this, what is the risk in this?"
Xian Yu Xiaoyang smiled mysteriously, although the ban was placed, he still lowered his voice, leaned closer and whispered to Su Aotian: "Don't hide it from Brother Tai, the purpose of me telling you this matter is because I have taken a fancy to Brother Tai's ability, and I want to recommend you to participate in this Twilight Akita Hunt, do you say this is a big surprise, do you want to be grateful to Brother Brother?"
Su Aotian couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect Xian Yu Xiaoyang to say such a thing, and he couldn't help but be stunned!
His reaction made Xian Yu Xiaoyang very useful, and he couldn't help but twist his beard, looked at Su Aotian with his eyebrows and smiled, and watched him stunned there.
After a while, Su Aotian reacted, and immediately said: "Old brother is joking with me, how can I be Dongfang Bai He De, where can I be qualified to participate in such an elite event of all races!"
Xian Yu Yang smiled and said: "Brother Dongfang, brother, I am very enthusiastic, how can I lie to you! Didn't I just say, in addition to the junior elites of all races, there are also all kinds of strange people with special talents, and your brother is a strange man with unique skills, of course he is qualified to participate in this grand event!"
Su Ao Tianqi said: "What special talent do I have, I can make my brother so impressed, why don't I even know myself?"
