Chapter Twenty-Four: Sunset Forest
As the largest forest in the Imperial Heavens, the Sunset Forest contains countless demon beasts and elixirs, and there are some ancient relics, because of this, this forest also has many cultivators who come to hunt, usually cultivators do not have a strong family or sect to rely on, if they want to improve their cultivation, they can only exchange for spirit stones through demon beasts and elixirs.
Lin Tianfan had been on a journey for three days, and finally came to a small city near the forest before sunset on the third day. Because it was close to the end of the list, people came out of the forest one after another, some four or five people carried a demon beast, and some were dejected.
The city is also very lively, the people who come here are all varied, each person's purpose is different, some are by catching monsters for a living, some are to buy monsters, and some are to search for suitable treasures. Because of the particularity of this place, there are many people who have flowed, and there are also many good elixirs and exercises that have been picked up by luck, and if you can't use them, they will be sold on the side of the road. Of course, there are also many opportunistic people who sell fakes, and it depends on the buyer's skills.
Lin Tianfan let the three-headed eagle hide before entering the city gate, he didn't worry about the safety of the three-headed eagle, with his own chaotic bloodline, even if he couldn't beat it, he could run away, not to mention that since the three-headed eagle ate the flower heart that day, Lin Tianfan found that it seemed to be able to understand people's words better, and even distinguish people's hostility.
As we entered the city, the streets were already covered with yellow lanterns. The shouts nearby came and went, and the two didn't take a few steps, and a middle-aged man with a dissatisfied face reached out to stop the smile on his face full of wrinkles: "Little brother, come and see, I have something good here!"
Li Zhentian hadn't seen much of such a lively scene, and looked at it curiously when he lowered his head at such a greeting, Lin Tianfan originally wanted to ignore it, because the really good things didn't want to stay for so long, and nine times out of ten he was a fake seller, as expected, he glanced over lightly, and Lin Tianfan sensed that the items were all full and incomplete through his soul.
But when he swept over the blackened stone-like thing on the corner, Lin Tianfan vaguely felt that the black stone exuded spiritual power with the same breath as himself.
Lin Tianfan pretended to be calm, and did not focus on the stone for the first time, but picked up a broken exercise book beside him, pretending to look at it without showing too much joy, but the man's eyes kept turning to observe Lin Tianfan, and when he saw Li Zhentian choosing to come and go, he finally took a piece of iron rod without any aura.
Lin Tianfan opened his mouth and said, "How do you sell these two things?"
The man smiled and rubbed his hands: "Little brother, the book you are holding in your hand is something I took out from a ruin at the risk of my life, although it is a little tattered, but the exercises in it are first-class and good, if you buy it back, you will definitely benefit immensely." The more the man spoke, the more courageous he became, and paused, "As for the high-quality Xuantie in your friend's hand, take it back to build a fan that can definitely become a ground-level spirit weapon! ”
Lin Tianfan heard the description of this day, and heard the lion's big mouth, so he pretended to hesitate, "Boss, do you think we look like we are rich? It's too expensive, and we bought a middle-grade spirit stone." ”
The man looked the two of them up and down again, and indeed the two of them were disgraced because they came, and the man's smile was not so bright, "Add ten more earth-level spirit stones." ”
Lin Tianfan's expression can be said to be well controlled, his face was full of entanglement and hesitation, and finally he seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, boss, you see that our brothers have almost used the spirit stone on the way here, if we can't catch the demon beast tomorrow, then our brothers will starve to death, do you see if you can give us one?"
The man couldn't hold back his smile when he heard this, he hesitated for a while but nodded in agreement, Lin Tianfan pretended to pick up the black stone, pretending to check it, and the stone made a slight vibration in Lin Tianfan's hand, as if he was calling.
When the man saw Lin Tianfan holding a stone that had not been sold for almost a month, his heart blossomed, and he urged for fear of regret: "That's it, give the money and leave quickly." ”
Lin Tianfan didn't hesitate, took out the spirit stone and threw it over, and left with Li Zhentian.
The two opened two rooms, and when Li Zhentian entered the room, he asked with some confusion: "Big brother, what do you want that stone for?"
"It's okay, you go and rest first, we're planning for a day off. Lin Tianfan took Li Zhentian away, as for why the two came back, Lin Tianfan also felt the guidance, but I don't know why he didn't break the direction when he arrived.
Casually laid down an enchantment, Lin Tianfan put the black stone on the coffee table, and the fiery red spiritual power in the dantian wrapped the stone, Bai Qianji once said that his spiritual power was affected by the Vermilion Bird Fetal Star, which produced a special flame.
Lin Tianfan wanted to see what was inside the stone, at the beginning he felt that the black scene seemed to block something, the black substance on the stone began to melt full, what Lin Tianfan didn't expect was that there were so many black things, Lin Tianfan used almost half of the spiritual power, the original stone had become half the size, and the rolling spiritual power in it gradually became stronger.
Finally, after almost exhausting his spiritual power, Lin Tianfan melted the last trace of black, revealing a fiery red bead inside, but fortunately, Lin Tianfan reacted in time and used spiritual power to seal the fluctuations of the beads.
After putting away the beads, Lin Tianfan looked at a ball of black liquid that was really wrapped in his spiritual power, and the black liquid couldn't melt, and he also tried to put the black liquid into a vessel casually, but he didn't expect that the ordinary utensils made an eroded sound as soon as they were put in, Lin Tianfan quickly took it back, only to see that the utensils had been eroded.
After trying many items, I found that this black liquid seemed to have consciousness, constantly swimming in Lin Tianfan's spiritual power, and before I knew it, the sky was already bright, Li Zhentian pushed open the door and saw that Lin Tianfan was holding a fireball, and there was a large black thing in it.
"Big brother, what are you doing here?" Li Zhentian looked at Lin Tianfan puzzled.
Lin Tianfan remembered the cold turtle shell before, and hurriedly said, "Second fool, you use your spiritual power to transform into a container. ”
"Oh. Li Zhentian exuded a faint green spiritual power, surrounded by the fireball, Lin Tianfan slowly withdrew his spiritual power, and when the liquid touched Li Zhentian's spiritual power, it slowly subsided, and gradually turned into a hard stone.
It didn't take long for the liquid to completely harden, and Lin Tianfan also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly recovered the spiritual power that had been lost overnight.
After a while, he only heard that the street was lively, Lin Tianfan watched the crowd walk in the direction of the city gate, and after going downstairs, he found that even the people in the store were following and pouring in.
It is also hard to come to the city gate, only to see a big pennant hanging at the city gate, on which the words "recruitment" are very eye-catching.
Lin Tianfan squeezed the people around him and grinned: "Big brother, what are you doing?"
The person next to him glanced at it and said kindly: "New here, right? This is the royal beast hunting group, and now it is selecting people, whether you go to participate in the demon beast or not, you can get a medium-level spirit stone!"
Since many monsters are huge, they generally need four to five people to capture together, of course, the more cultivated monsters need more precise cooperation if they want to capture.
What Lin Tianfan didn't expect was that the royal family would actually send people to recruit people, you must know that with the resources of a country, generally speaking, it will not fail to catch low-level demon beasts, and if it is to capture higher-level demon beasts, it will naturally not use people who are generally only at the Xuanling level.
Naturally, Lin Tianfan didn't want to join in the excitement, and was just about to leave, only to hear Bai Qianji's voice coming from the sea of knowledge: "Enter the Sunset Forest." ”
Although Lin Tianfan was surprised, he didn't doubt it, and quietly waited for the royal person to speak.
I saw a man in golden armor fighting out, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice suppressed everyone, "This time, the royal family recruits ten people, as long as the cultivation is the highest ten on the field, each person will be rewarded with a middle-grade spirit stone afterwards." ”
The man also knew that the cultivation of the people here would not be much higher, because the higher level of cultivation generally had a lot of resources, so they would not come here to take risks.
Lin Tianfan saw the crowded crowd in front of him, his own cultivation was scattered, and the spiritual power of the ninth order of the Xuan Ling shook the crowd away for a day, and he walked in front of the man casually, "I want to sign up." ”
The crowd was so humiliated unprepared, and they all gave up after feeling Lin Tianfan's majestic spiritual power that they wanted to get up for revenge. The man nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad." ”
"But I'm going to take my brother with me. Lin Tianfan pulled Li Zhentian to the man, and before the man could speak, he said, "I want a spirit stone, he won't cause trouble on the way." ”
The man's originally open mouth was also closed, and he waved so that the two of them stood behind him, and the people nearby looked at it, although they were not convinced, but after all, the royal people were still present, and they didn't say anything.
After a while, the remaining nine people were recruited, and the crowd dispersed, and the man turned around and said, "My name is Han Duan, and I am the captain of the third guard team of the royal family, from now on you must obey my orders, do not leave casually, and come to the camp with me now." ”
Lin Tianfan has also heard that there are three major guards in the Imperial Heavenly Kingdom, the first one is responsible for the security of the royal family, the second is the access control of the Imperial Heavenly City, and the third is a team that specializes in hunting demon beasts and acting as thugs for the royal family's direct relatives, and the captain of the third guard team is a cultivation that has reached the third order of Xuanying at a young age, which can be regarded as an unlimited premise.
Among the ten people recruited, except for Li Zhentian, the lowest cultivation was also the cultivation of the fourth order of Xuanling, so everyone hurried quickly, and they came to a clearing after a while. This is not a loss of the royal guard, although it is the last escort team, the camp that can be set up outside is also extremely extravagant, everyone has an orderly division of labor, and there is no superfluous existence.
It was because of the arrival of Lin Tianfan and others that Han Duan asked everyone to stop what they were doing and came over one after another.
"This is our new friend, Fang Fan Xuanling Ninth Order, only fifteen years old, everyone is welcome!" Han Duan took the lead in introducing Lin Tianfan, but many people were stunned when they heard this kind of cultivation, fifteen years old Xuanling Ninth Order, what a terrifying cultivation this is, the original entire team only had three Xuanling Ninth Order, but the age was also in his twenties, and Lin Tianfan was fifteen years old and had the qualifications to be able to scream with everyone on the field one by one.
Lin Tianfan also scratched his head embarrassedly, he could have such a fast cultivation because of that kind of chaotic spirit beast that didn't know anything!
Han Duan introduced the past one by one, and in the end, everyone returned to their respective posts after eating, naturally because Lin Tianfan and the others had just arrived and did not arrange tasks, Han Duan let them go back to rest.
stopped Lin Tianfan, Lin Tianfan asked Li Zhentian to go back to rest first, and he followed Han Duan to the side.
"Fang Fan, junior brother, I'm a little curious about how you can cultivate so quickly?" It is no wonder that Han Duan is suspicious, although there are many people in the world, but these people are all some families with strong backgrounds, and it is impossible for ordinary people to do it easily.
"I said that I got a certain Chinese pill and then cultivated by leaps and bounds, do you believe it?" Lin Tianfan said half-truthfully.
"Hahaha, I don't mean anything else, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you, after all, everyone has some secrets, but you have to promise me that you can't mess around in the team. Han Duan laughed, and gently patted Lin Tianfan on the shoulder with one hand and slowly left.
