259 Out of the city to hunt demons
"Senior Brother Wei Ming!"
Ye Chen stopped, looking surprised.
"Senior brother seems to have left the tower one step ahead of me!"
Wei Ming strode over from the gate of the Demon Punishment Tower, laughing. He was originally very annoyed when he retreated from the tower so quickly, but when he saw Ye Chen come out earlier than him, he couldn't help but be happy. It's better for two people to be unlucky than for him to be unlucky.
"It's not good to treat the demon tower!"
Ye Chen shook his head with regret on his face, and no other expression was revealed. Since you want to pretend to be a loser who guards the tower, you naturally have to pretend to the end.
Wei Ming felt the same way, "The phantom demon beasts in the Demon Punishment Tower are too strong, I have been guarding the tower for the past few months, and I have only cultivated in the first floor of the tower for one or two hours before I can hold it." By the way, why did Senior Brother Ye suddenly disappear in the past few months and have been missing?"
"That's a long story! The last time I came out of the Demon Punishment Tower, I suddenly had a strong premonition, so I found a place to retreat and cultivate. I just came out of retreat today, and it happened to be the beginning of the month, so I entered the fifth layer of the Demon Suppression Tower to cultivate, but unfortunately the effect was not good, so I stayed for an hour. ”
Ye Chen said lightly.
The two of them left the Demon Pagoda Square, talking as they walked.
Wei Ming only felt that something was wrong at this time, Ye Chen's spiritual pressure power was much stronger than half a year ago, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, "Senior Brother's cultivation has broken through the fifth layer of the foundation building? Congratulations to Senior Brother!"
"Well, let's not talk about that. Senior brother has been looking for work in the city for the past few months?"
Ye Chen didn't want to talk about it too much and changed the topic.
"Well, I found a job in the city a few months ago to earn some spirit stones, but it was too little, and it was only three or five hundred spirit stones a month. However, I found a way to go to the Yunze Mountains with other monks to hunt demon beasts, and I could earn at least a thousand spirit stones at a time, and with good luck, I killed a few good demon beasts, and even earned thousands. ”
Wei Ming nodded. Said with excitement.
"Hunting beasts? You are on the first floor of the foundation building period, and you dare to go to the Yunze Mountain Range to hunt? Many of the demon beasts in the Yunze Mountain Range are above the fourth or fifth order, and they are only stronger than the foundation building monks, and they often haunt in groups, and they are extremely fierce. If you don't have the strength in the middle and late stages of foundation building, you dare to go?"
Ye Chen was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that Wei Ming was so bold.
The demon beasts of the Yunze Mountain Range are not the phantom demon beasts in the Demon Punishment Tower. Put it in a stone room and let people kill. A monk who dies every year in the Yunze Mountains. Numerous. Building a layer of foundation cultivation to run to the Yunze Mountain Range is simply lifting the neck to sell his life.
"Of course I can't do it myself, I'm going with some of the leading monks in the city who are very experienced in hunting. It is thousands of miles around Wangtian City, and it is relatively safe around Wangtian City, so if the situation is not right, I can quickly escape back to the city. Don't be afraid of accidents. I've been there two or three times in the past few months, and I've earned a full 3,000 spirit stones, which is much better than working in the city. ”
Wei Ming hurriedly explained in detail.
It turned out that in this Heavenly City, after the monthly Demon Punishment Tower trial came out, most of the rest of the time, the foundation building monks would go to the Yunze Mountain Range to hunt in the deep mountains of more than 100,000 miles to earn spirit stones.
There were some monks with extremely rich hunting experience, and they went deep into the Yunze Mountains to find suitable demon beasts to attack.
It is often encountered that the monster beast is too strong, or the number of monster beasts is too large. The monk could not deal with it on his own. Therefore, you need to look back at the Heavenly City, spend a sum of spirit stones, recruit a team of monks, and hunt demon beasts together.
Finding a monster that is suitable for you is an extremely difficult job. These monks also gather and disperse, and most of them need to be recruited temporarily, and they are not fixed.
Wei Ming followed those leading monks to hunt demon beasts. Although his strength is weak, he is also the first layer of the foundation building period. It's no problem to look at the wind and get started.
"Oh, that's it!"
Only then did Ye Chen understand what was going on. After all, he was a fellow disciple of the Tianxu Sect, one of the few second-generation disciples in the sect who had a good relationship, and he didn't want Wei Ming to die in a daze.
Wei Ming licked his lips. "I'm going to find a way again." Let's see if there is any senior brother in the city who leads the team to hunt demon beasts. Senior Brother Ye is interested, let's go earn some spirit stones together?"
"Okay, you go find your way. I'll do something, and I'll meet you again. ”
Ye Chen touched his storage bag, and the spirit stones in it had already been used up.
He came to the Yunze Mountain Range to cultivate, and it was impossible for him to stay in the Demon Punishment Tower of Wangtian City all the time to fight with the phantom demon beasts, and sooner or later he would have to fight with the demon beasts of the Yunze Mountain Range. Kill a few demon beasts to test your current strength, and then come back and continue your cultivation. With his current cultivation of the fifth layer of the foundation, although it is not high, he can completely go to the Yunze Mountain Range to hunt beasts.
Ye Chen now has one more important thing to do.
He had no spirit stones to use.
However, he didn't need to worry about the spirit stone as much as he did before.
There were a batch of mid- and low-level elixirs in his Immortal Mansion, most of which were refined by Xiaoqing. Xiao Qing used spiritual herbs to practice his hands, from an alchemist who did not enter the stream to an alchemy master, he spent countless medicinal materials, and there were even more spiritual pills that even Ye Chen couldn't use.
And many of them were low-level elixirs, and Ye Chen couldn't use them. Take some of it and sell it and exchange it for some spirit stones.
After Ye Chen and Wei Ming separated, they came to the lively street market where people came to the city alone, and when they saw a shop with a signboard of the elixir, they walked in
"A few of you, put these medicinal herbs and elixirs in place. You, and you, clumsy, what are you eating, don't hurt these precious medicinal herbs!
A slightly chubby alchemy master pointed at the guys in the store and shouted loudly.
"Yes, Master Hu!"
Those guys were busy jumping up and down on the counter shelves, sweating profusely.
"Ye Ye Gongzi!"
Hu Rong was directing the guys in the store to work, his face was full of arrogance, and when he saw Ye Chen enter the store, he suddenly changed.
'This is actually Hu Rong's shop!'
Ye Chen frowned, and wanted to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, he was just here to sell a few bottles of elixir, and there was no need to hide from this alchemy master. If Hu Rong doesn't accept it, he will find another store.
"Your store accepts the elixir, right? I have more than a dozen mid-to-low-grade elixirs here, you can look at the price." ”
Ye Chen took out some Dan bottles and put them on the counter.
"The market price of these Dan is 10,000, but the purchase price can only be 8~, 8,000 spirit stones!"
Hu Rong opened the pill bottle, counted and inspected the goods one by one, quickly calculated the price of these elixirs, suppressed the fear in his heart, and his legs were almost trembling.
He had a bad relationship with Ye Chen in the black market half a year ago, and sent people to stare at Ye Chen day and night to prepare for revenge, and saw Ye Chen enter the Demon Punishment Tower with his own eyes and never came out again.
Immediately afterwards, a mysterious monk appeared on the fourth floor of the Demon Punishment Tower, and stayed in the tower for a long time. Even Feng Peixi, the senior brother of the ninth layer of the Jinding Gate, could not defeat that mysterious monk. Only God knows how strong this mysterious monk really is. This is the most sensational event in Wangtian City in hundreds of years.
No one else knew who it was, but could he not know. He was staring at it from beginning to end, unless he was blind, or there would be no one else in the tower.
Hu Rong's fear grew and he feared reprisals in the future.
But he didn't dare to say anything.
Even if he loudly proclaimed that the monk was Ye Chen, the disciple of the head of the Tianxu Sect, who would believe him? Do you want everyone to believe that a mere fourth-layer foundation building monk would be more powerful than a group of foundation-building ninth-layer monks in Wangtian City, and he could stay in the Demon Suppression Tower for several months!?
Joke!
If you want to say this, not only will no one believe him, but they will think that he has lost his mind.
Half a year has passed, and Hu Rong almost forgot about Ye Chen, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to suddenly appear in his store, which shocked him to death.
"Deal!"
Ye Chen accepted the spirit stone and turned around to leave Master Hu's shop.
He went to more than a dozen large and small merchant pavilions in the city, and successively sold the hundreds of low-level spirit pills on hand, and exchanged them for nearly seventy or eighty thousand spirit stones, which was enough for him to use for a period of time.
Ye Chen didn't know at all that the back of Hu Rong's shirt was already soaked, and he was so frightened that he almost collapsed in the store.
The guys in those shops were all dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on, which made the always arrogant Master Hu's face pale and frightened
Ye Chen walked around the city for a long time, and in the evening, he returned to the small inn where he lived and met Wei Ming.
Zou Lao had already left Wangtian City and went to run a businessman, not living in the inn.
The wandering monk Sun Shibin stayed for a few months and traveled to other places as well.
Wei Ming, Sun Cao and his wife, Ruan Yufeng and others from Wanfamen are still living in this small inn. However, Sun Cao and his wife rarely ventured out of the city to participate in the hunting of monsters, and usually found some work in the city. Wei Ming and Ruan Yufeng went to the city more often.
Seeing Ye Chen come back, Ruan Yufeng and Sun Cao and his wife were extremely surprised, they thought that Ye Chen had left Wangtian City. Ye Chen explained in the same words as Wei Ming, saying that he was cultivating in retreat, which made several of them sigh. Breaking through the fifth floor of the foundation for half a year of retreat is a great joy.
"Senior Brother Ye, there is a life!"
Wei Ming hurriedly came back with surprise on his face, "I just went to the Spirit Wine Pavilion in the city, and I met a senior brother surnamed Cai Zhuji who often hunted demons and wanted to recruit someone to kill a demon beast in a place thousands of miles away from the Yunze Mountain Range. I told him, you, me, and Senior Brother Ruan should go. The hardship fee is 1,000 spirit stones per person in the early stage of foundation building, and 2,000 pieces per person in the middle stage of foundation building. If there is a good harvest afterwards, you can share more. ”
Ye Chen asked again. But Wei Ming didn't know the more detailed situation of the demon beast. This kind of action needs to be kept secret, so as not to be preempted by other monks, and this trip will be in vain.
"When are you going?"
"I haven't gathered enough people yet, so I'll leave in three days!"
"Good!"
Ye Chen nodded.
One or two thousand spirit stones are dispensable to him, and this time he went to test his strength with the demon beasts of the Yunze Mountain Range, and see the effect of his cultivation in the past six months. By the way, let's also see how strong the demon beasts of the Yunze Mountain Range are.
Three days later, it was just dawn.
Ye Chen, Wei Ming, and Ruan Yufeng were ready, so they left the small inn and came to the gate of Wangtian City to join the other monks who were hunting demons on this trip.
