Chapter 13: The Flame of Blood

Die, die, die.

The bird is hidden in the bow, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, what about it?

It's better than doing nothing and being bullied all your life!

When Qin Xuan noticed that somewhat peculiar Zhangba spear, he made up his mind to go to the end on the evil path of the Wind Demon Sword, as long as he was valuable and he could do things, he didn't believe that the Wind Demon Sword would kill him hastily.

He has suffered enough, suffered too much, and has a clear heart that he would rather be used than slaughtered.

When business came to the door, the fat guy threw down the meat bun in his hand, poured tea and water for Qin Xuan with high spirits, and invited him to sit in the Taishi chair on the west side of the pawnshop and drink tea to quench his thirst.

The tea is a locally produced green tiling tea.

Qin Xuan only glanced at the tea soup and knew that it was not superior, it was much worse than the Qingti Ling Tea on Spirit Whale Island, so he couldn't help but lack interest, so he opened the brocade box first and took out a red jade slip from it.

Most of the jade slips commonly used to record the exercises are green jade, and this red jade slip is rare to see.

Qin Xuan injected a wisp of essence to know that there was a very special spell hidden in the red jade slip, this technique not only contained a certain amount of power, but also seemed to be able to identify the essence, only a specific person could read the spirit book in the red jade slip.

The spirit of the others is different, and once they try to force the penetration, they may trigger a spell to self-destruct the jade slip.

This setup is weird.

Qin Xuan quietly looked up at Shopkeeper Qiu, looked at the old shopkeeper and smiled, but said in his heart: Is the Wind Demon preventing this person from stealing?

More than a thousand words were entered into the Chiyu Jian, the first thousand words were a magic trick, not a real sword trick, but a secret technique;

It turned out that Feng Tianqiu's second errand was for him to pass the introductory trial of the Xingchen Daoist Academy and become an elite disciple of the Xingchen Sect.

It's a little too hard.

The Xingchen Sect has more than 30,000 miles of sea under its jurisdiction, divided into seven sea areas, each with a Taoist academy, and the disciples of each sea area are close to study.

Xingchen Dao Academy is the head of the Seven Great Dao Academy, recruiting one hundred and twenty people every year, one is not much, one is not many, one is not many, of which one hundred are from trials, and twenty are from recommendation.

At this time of year, the major families within the Xingchen Dao system will select the best children to participate in the entry trial of the Xingchen Dao Academy.

These children of the family began to receive countless elixir cultivation as soon as they were born, and along the way, there was no shortage of all kinds of needs, and they had the guidance of famous teachers in the clan since they were young.

A small rich family like Qin Xuan is basically still counted as a child of a poor family, and it is not easy to find a place in the other Sixth Avenue Courtyards.

Troublesome!

Qin Xuan twisted his eyebrows with a headache, not knowing how to pass the introductory trial.

Once the second errand is smashed, he will no longer be useful, and he will hold Feng Tianqiu's handle and incriminating evidence, will Feng Tianqiu still spare his life?

Qin Xuan pondered for a moment, got up and walked to the desk on the west side, took a closer look at the few things inside, and decided to see what kind of help Feng Tianqiu gave him first.

There is a dark blue sandalwood spear here, the body of the spear is a foot, the oil can be seen, it seems ordinary, but the spirituality inside is quite rich, the blade is as wide as a broadsword, eight inches long, most of it is forged with starry meteoric iron, and the whole body is overflowing with wisps of starlight.

"Childe's eyesight is good, although this Ruyi gun is only a mid-level magic weapon, it is an authentic mid-level boutique, it can be long or short, light or heavy. This gun is made of seven thousand years of spirit seed sandalwood and several catties of star meteoric iron, fused into one, the spirituality of sandalwood is turned into meteoric iron, and the star power of meteoric iron is refined into sandalwood, which is definitely refined by masters. ”

Shopkeeper Qiu smiled, and reminded Qin Xuan, "Childe's luck is also good, the deed of this gun just expired yesterday, and the small shop dared to take it out and sell it cheaply." There are many guests in Linghe City, coming and going, and if Gongzi hesitates slightly, he may be bought by other guests. ”

Qin Xuan understood what Shopkeeper Qiu meant, although he was not good at using guns, he still asked, "Old man, how do you sell this gun?"

"Seven thousand spirit jade, no two prices!"

"Seven thousand?"

Qin Xuan gasped again, thinking to himself, the Great Wind Demon really knew how much spirit jade the young master had in his hand.

"Childe, can you buy a mid-level magic weapon without 10,000 spirit jade? This is still a mid-level high-grade magic gun, which has several catties of star meteorite smelted in it, if it is not a pawn thing, and it is placed in the Divine Treasure Pavilion, the starting price will be 50,000 spirit jade!"

Shopkeeper Qiu stroked his silver beard with a smile, his eyes were shimmered and restrained, and he nodded to Qin Xuan silently, signaling him to end the matter quickly and not drag other guests in.

Qin Xuan smiled bitterly, knowing that this matter was non-negotiable, he gritted his teeth and took out seven thousand spirit jades and handed them to the shopkeeper Qiu, and then took away the Ruyi spear, and his heart quietly dripped blood.

More blood is yet to come.

Most of the things in the pawnshop are old goods, the price is cheap, or even half cheaper, and the shopkeeper Qiu deliberately pointed out that on the west desk that Qin Xuan watched, there were some commonly used spirit rune pills, which were always used when they went out.

If you want to participate in the introductory trial of the Star Dao Academy, the trial fee of ten spirit crystals is also necessary.

Bit by bit, Qin Xuan spent another three thousand spirit jade to buy more than a dozen spirit runes, ten bottles of elixir and ten spirit crystals, but he could only leave the Chang'an pawnshop with empty sleeves.

Alas!

The path of cultivation is very expensive, where can the average family afford it?

Three thousand spirit jade is enough for an ordinary person's expenses for a year, but it is only a month's cultivation expenses for a small cultivation of blood refining.

Qin Xuan sighed and left Linghe City, convinced that Feng Tianqiu had been staring at him secretly for a while, and he even knew everything about the 10,000 spirit jade that his uncle gave him, and his calculation was exactly right, obviously to retaliate against him for leaving a move in Feiling Cave Heaven.

At the moment, there was not even any money left for the guest house, so Qin Xuan could only continue to go back to the cave and sleep in the mountains.

The cave left by Feng Tianqi is located in the southern suburbs of Linghe City, across the city from the Xingchen Daoyuan in the northern suburbs of Linghe City.

In Linghe City, there are hundreds of thousands of scattered cultivators from all walks of life who come and go, and even demon cultivators don't know how much, but only a disciple of the starry lineage like Qin Xuan can find a cave to settle down in the Xingzhu Mountain Range at will.

Qin Xuan traveled all the way south, he was not alone on the road, before and after, there were actually dozens of minor cultivators accompanied, and everyone was talking about this year's introductory trial.

Some of these people are a little older, have already participated in many trials, have a lot of experience, and a few words are insightful.

Qin Xuan quietly pricked up his ears and followed behind them.

"This year's fate is not good, the four major families and the seventy-seven sects of this sect have a lot of children to participate, and it is estimated that they will occupy eighty places, which is definitely more exaggerated than in previous years, and there are fewer places really left for us children of poor families. ”

The tall disciple who walked among the few people sighed and sighed, it was obviously early spring, but he always kept raising his sleeves to wipe his sweat, and his heart was very weak.

"Senior Brother Ma doesn't know, all the previous Chen years are like this, especially the children of the four great families, they are all going to the champion of the Chen year, and if they can't get the champion, they have to grab a tanhua, and the result is bitter for us. ”

"You can wait a year or two, I'm twenty years old this year, and this is my last chance, so I have to bite the bullet and participate. Senior Brother Ma sighed helplessly.

"After all, Senior Brother Ma is not unsure of breaking through to the fourth level of the Blood Refining Realm, and a few of us are only one or two level of cultivation, and there is no hope at all. ”

The first few people are all around Senior Brother Ma, and they are very envious of his cultivation, but Senior Brother Ma himself has a bitter face and knows his pain.

Qin Xuan followed behind them, quietly using his Heavenly Dao expertise, he was very careful, because they both had spiritual sense, and it was easy to detect opponents with spiritual sense.

The bloodline of the cultivators is the greatest secret of each other, and the spiritual sense cannot see through it, so they can only rely on certain secret techniques.

Qin Xuan's Heavenly Dao specialty is undoubtedly one of the secret techniques of this kind, and it is the most secret induction method.

He didn't need to concentrate his spiritual sense on someone, as long as there was something covering the surroundings, he could sense that there was a blood seed fire in the depths of the heart and blood seeds of everyone in the vicinity.

These blood seed fires are very similar to the bloodline origin mentioned in the "Spirit Sutra", by sensing the form, color, brightness, and purity of the blood seed fire, Qin Xuan can roughly judge the type and level of the opponent's Heavenly Dao bloodline.

Senior Brother Ma's bloodline is very similar to a deer vein, the fire of the blood seed is blue and red, compared to the crimson and red fire of the high-level demon clan, there is a certain gap, and the other senior brothers have the ape vein, the turtle vein, etc., and the fire of the blood seed is mostly dark cyan and blue-gray, and it is even more dim and mottled.

From this point of view, there is indeed a big gap between the bloodline level of everyone and the demon clan.

According to the "Spirit Sutra", mortals are the head of all spirits, and their spiritual wisdom is extraordinary, but their bloodlines are weaker than those of the demon clan, and those whose mortal bloodlines can rival the middle-level demon clan can already step into the door of cultivation, or mediocre or virtuous, and the high-level demon clan is talented, and only one in 100,000 people can do it.

Qin Xuan's spiritual sense slowly expanded, probably because he had insisted on ascetic cultivation for many years, his divine soul was tenacious, and his spiritual sense could cover more than 20 zhang in the surrounding area, which happened to sense the blood fire of more than a dozen senior brothers in his companionship, and it was concluded that most of them were mediocre.

Among the dozen or so people, there are two whose bloodline level is equivalent to Senior Brother Ma, but their cultivation is obviously higher.

The strange thing is that these two disciples who are not of the same line as the stars have completely different blood, qi and spiritual powers, but they are wearing the green shirts and gowns of the outer disciples of the Xingchen faction, and even the Aoki waist card has it.
