At dusk, people from the Xuantong Sect also rushed to Huzigou. The leader was a female cultivator, gentle and beautiful, with a surname of Cao and a single name with the character for rain.
At this point, the three winter hunting sects have all arrived. Pingyuan sect Qian Juan, Xuantong sect Cao Yu, and Xiandu sect Wei Rongniang met first to discuss and decided to go to the mountain to explore tomorrow. Think about the reality first, and then make plans.
Cao Yu, who was good at dancing, pulled Wei Rongniang and muttered something. The implication was that he wanted to join forces with the Xiandu Sect, and the strong and weak disciples of the sect would join forces to look after each other. Wei Rong Niang exchanged a few polite words with Wei Snake, but politely declined.
Among the three factions of Dongxue, Pingyuan is the strongest, followed by Xuantong, and Xiandu is the weakest. The reason why Wei Rongniang did not join forces with Xuantong was because she could not trust Cao Yu. This woman may seem frail, but she is actually very scheming. Her senior brother once warned her not to get into trouble with her.
After returning to the wooden house, Wei Rongniang briefly explained the winter hunting arrangements to everyone.
Seven sects from the Kunlun branch, including Liyang and Yuanrong, Shaoling and Yuxu, Pingyuan, Xuantong and Xiandu, go to Jietianling every five years to hunt monsters , called "Winter Hunting", one year of hunting and one year of rest. On the one hand, the young disciples are trained and gain practical experience. On the other hand, materials such as demon pills and animal bones are collected for the master's sect to refine medicine and sacrificial vessels. In order to avoid conflicts, the monks who lead the team will delineate a rough range. For this winter hunting, Pingyuan will be sent to the northwest, Xuantong will be sent to the southeast, and Xiandu will be sent to the north. , so as not to meet.
Among the four disciples in Xiandu, Wei Shiqi is the most powerful and can act alone. Although Duan Wenhuan and Chen Suzhen are high in cultivation, they are not strong enough to act alone. It is safer for them to go together. Cao Jinren is not strong enough. He was not allowed to go into the mountains, but he was good at herbal medicines. Wei Rongniang ordered him to collect herbs near Huzigou and not go deep into Jietian Ridge.
The next day, Qian, Cao and Wei flew into Jietian Ridge with their swords. They split up and traveled hundreds of miles in one day. They roughly noted the places where the monsters appeared and marked them one by one. On the map, remind the disciples to pay attention.
Along with the map, Wei Shiqi was given two jade tokens for communication, a small storage bag the size of a sachet, and a sharp bone-picking knife.
The map is drawn on a rough piece of grass paper. "People" represent mountains, "wood" represents woods, "chuan" represents streams, and "cave" represents caves. The locations where monsters are found are marked in vermilion. The thickness of the "ten" character indicates whether the monster is strong or not. At a glance, the straw paper is piled with Renrenrenrenmumumumumu, with several Chuanxueshi scattered among them.
"This thing is really crude. At least it needs a decent painter..." Wei Shiqi muttered and found the place where Sun Ergou and he agreed to meet, at Jietian Ridge. Next to a mountain stream in the north-west, there is a cave nearby, marked with a thick "ten", indicating that dangerous monsters are infested.
The messenger slip is long and thin, shaped like a lottery ticket, with a drop of Wei Rongniang’s essence and blood sealed in the middle. In times of crisis, just crush the jade slip, and the owner of the essence and blood will be able to sense it. , came to rescue in time. This is a way to save your life, WeiSeventeen put it away solemnly, then picked up the storage bag and practiced again.
That storage bag is unique. It is a container used by Qingyang Palace to store demonic pills and beast bones. The space inside is not large, but it can preserve the vitality contained in the demonic pills and beast bones to the greatest extent. Extremely precious.
The last pointed boning knife is a knife specially cast by Zhu Mingdian for "winter hunting". It can blow hair and break hair, and has excellent toughness. It is used for skinning, deboning and cutting meat, and gets twice the result with half the effort.
After a good meal and a night's rest, Wei Shiqi bid farewell to Wei Rongniang and stepped into Jietian Ridge.
There was still plenty of time left before the appointed time, so Wei Shiqi set out on the road resolutely, took a detour, and stayed for a few days in places where monsters roamed, looking for traces of prey.
The monsters near Huzigou are not strong, they are similar to the Jinwen Rat King. With Wei Shiqi’s current strength, it is easy to defeat them, but the monster pills obtained are small, among which The energy contained in it is not sufficient and does not meet the needs of Qingyang Palace.
No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. Wei Shiqi does not dislike it. He keeps the demon pill and puts the flesh and blood into the Penglai bag for emergencies.
Along the way, Wei Shiqi worked tirelessly to do three things, hunt monsters, practice Xiaoyue Gong, and feed Penglai bags.
After hunting continuously, he collected four demon pills, one big and three small. The big one was taken from a rare Jin Xingren bear, which was extremely powerful and as strong as iron. He fought hard for a long time, After exhausting all the energy of Gentu in his body, he finally defeated him.
However, during the killing, Xiao Yue Gong progressed extremely quickly. He found a remote cave, ate all the flesh and blood of humans and bears, and used the sharp golden energy to attack the Houtian Aperture, and he actually dug through it in one go. The two acupoints "Xuanshu" and "Mingmen" and "Yaoyangguan" have also been loosened, and they will be completed soon.
The Penglai Bag keeps snatching away monster souls, as if a cub has grown into an adult, its appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Ordinary souls cannot feed it at all. It has to be at the level of the human-faced dove, ice silkworm, or blue iron queen bee. Monsters can react and increase their scores by a few points. However, it is not easy to seize souls by force. Small things like pheasants, hares, and the like can be accurately captured in one shot, but if they are replaced by monsters that have become spirits, they have to be beaten until they are half dead and have to be tried many times before they can be ingested into the Penglai bag. .
For this reason, Wei Shiqi thought of the demon refining pot in the Xuanyuan Sword, the purple gold gourd in the Immortal Sword, and thought of killing monsters and remaining blood. After thinking about it, it was right. If there were no restrictions, if he encountered a big Persian like Qi Luo, he could just activate the Penglai bag and take a shot, and the whole world would be clean. Then why should he practice so hard? He could just walk sideways.
This bag was so weird. It could be "planted" into his body, ingest flesh and blood, and steal souls. He had some doubts that the Penglai bag was by no means an ordinary storage bag, but was made from a monster's stomach bag. A magic weapon made from.
The next time you meet Ruan Jing, you will have to make some insinuations to find out more about it.
As he continued to go deeper into Jietian Ridge, the monsters that appeared became more and more powerful. After a hard fight, Wei Shiqi began to be injured. The energy of Gentu continued to repair his injuries, and his body became more and more powerful. More resilient. "If you don't break through in the killing, just inPerished in the killing, the road to body refining has always been fought out of the pile of corpses. "The words Xun Ye warned him revealed the fundamentals of body training. While he was tempering his body, he was also tempering his mind.
On this day, Wei Shiqi was beaten by six-headed iron. He chased the wolf demon for more than a hundred miles, going around and around, and finally escaped by jumping off a cliff. He came to a mountain stream, washed off the blood on his body, drank a lot of water, raised his head and looked around, and then found the cliff. There was a deep cave above, slowly spewing mist.
Mountain stream, cave, he took out the map and checked it for a long time, confirming that this was the place where he and Sun Ergou had agreed to meet.
