Jiang Jun and others came outside and searched for a while, but there was no place where they could take a rest. Xiangfu Town is too small, and too many people have come here recently. All the inns are full, and there is really no place for the four of them to rest.
In desperation, Jiang Jun suggested leaving Xiangfu Town and staying with a family in a nearby village for one night. Anyway, with their speed, they will be able to get here as soon as possible to meet everyone when the trial mission begins.
They didn't know how many people were participating in the trial this time, nor what their strength was, nor what kind of trial tasks Feixianmen would set up. They had a very unpleasant quarrel with Han Qi and offended many people in the Feixian Sect. They had no idea what others might have known.
After all, Jiang Jun is the senior brother, and he must take care of many things. Qi Feihong was completely unable to show off his strength, and Dongfang Qing was injured. The remaining two people, Jiang Jun and Jin Min, could not guarantee that they would be able to lead everyone through the trial smoothly. If they fail to pass the test, even if the Shangqing Sanren become elders in the Feixian Sect, they may not be allowed to join the Feixian Sect casually.
Before participating in the trial, you must prepare some things in case of unexpected events. Before leaving, Jiang Jun brought out some things that can be used now. Most of them were small defensive items, but there were also offensive magic weapons that could only be used once. He took them out for Dongfang Qing, Qi Feihong and Jin Min to choose from.
What Qi Feihong thinks is most suitable for him to use now is the God of Punishment crossbow. The God of Punishment Crossbow is very small, less than the size of a palm, and fires a tiny steel needle. This kind of steel needle is not an ordinary steel needle, but a magic weapon at the level of a magic weapon. The steel needle fired has extremely strong penetrating power and can penetrate magic weapon level armor.
The God of Punishment Crossbow is simple to use. Just point it at the enemy and activate the infuriating energy or spiritual power in the body to quietly launch steel needles to hurt people. Immortal cultivators with low strength like Qi Feihong are most suitable for use.
This was a temporary life-saving thing given by Jiang Jun to Qi Feihong. Qi Feihong would not use it and could not use it until absolutely necessary.
Dongfang Qing and Jin Min chose their favorite magic weapons. They were stronger than Qi Feihong, so the magic weapons they chose were correspondingly stronger.
Jiang Jun and his party found an unknown small village twenty miles away from Xiangfu Town. There was a farmer in the village who was willing to take them in for one night and provide them with simple food.
This farmer seemed to be an honest man, but he was very hospitable to his guests. He almost brought out all his best things to entertain Jiang Jun and the others. Unfortunately, this farmer's own conditions are not very good and he doesn't have much to offer. Jiang Jun and the others didn't care. After all, they were just staying for one night.
The food the farmer prepared for the four of them was just a few grilled corn tortillas, which were very hard, tasted very bland, and had almost no saltiness. Although he has not been in the world of immortality for a long time, Qi Feihong also knows that the salt here is very precious and ordinary people may not be able to afford it, let alone farmers in such a remote village.
Jiang Jun and others can understand this. They often walk around outside and know the sufferings of ordinary people in the world of immortality. Everyone ate the bland tortillas in silence, and no one raised any questions about the taste.
This farmer's family was poor but very kind-hearted. After Jiang Jun and the others finished eating the tortillas, they took the initiative to give up the best room to Jiang Jun and the others, while his family crowded into another room.
There is only a husband and wife in the farmer's household, and their children have not been seen. They probably left their hometown to make a living. Although this place is close to the entrance of Feixianmen, it is very barren and the people's lives are also very miserable. Those who were able to leave found ways to leave. After all, the outside world was a big one, and they might be able to find a job that could make a living.
Before taking a break, Jiang Jun walked around the village and found that the village was very rundown, with few households. He talked with the farm couple and learned that wars often occur here. Various sects, major cultivating families or forces often go to war over competition for territory, resources, etc. Before Feixianmen reopened its gate, this place was considered an unowned land, so people often wanted to take it for themselves, and people kept coming here to fight.
The farmers were also deeply affected by the war and suffered terribly. They said that wars have occurred continuously over the years, resulting in desolate fields and ruined families. The war is one of the fundamental reasons why their people have been living like a year.
The war destroyed a large number of crops, and the army also needed to consume a lot of food. The people's fields had no harvest, and they were forced to pay military rations again and again, leaving them without enough to eat.
After all, Jiang Jun had been in the world of immortality for a long time and knew that this was all true. He sighed and secretly left some spiritual coins commonly used in the world of immortality to the peasant couple. Spirit coins are money in the world of immortality, but generally speaking, only immortals can own and use them. It is already a great blessing for ordinary people to see them.
Spirit coins are refined from spirit stones and contain pure spiritual energy. They can be directly absorbed by cultivators and turned into their spiritual power, so they are very precious. Spirit coins are used to buy and sell items among immortal cultivators. Ordinary people are the same as the people on earth in ancient times. Most of them use gold, silver and copper coins. Spirit coins can be exchanged with gold, silver, and copper coins, but generally speaking, no one is willing to exchange spirit coins for gold, silver, and copper coins.
According to the practice in the world of immortality, one spiritual coin can be exchanged for ten gold coins, one hundred silver coins, or one thousand copper coins. The annual income of an ordinary family is about four thousand copper coins, which is four spiritual coins. Jiang Jun left twenty spiritual coins for this farm couple, which was enough for them to live comfortably for a while.
The four of them, Jiang and Jun, crowded into a room to rest. Everyone couldn't sleep peacefully, so they just started chatting. Dongfang Qing still has a carefree personality. When he speaks, he doesn't care about the occasion or the consequences. The first sentence is: "I really want to kill that old bastard Han Qi. He deliberately instigated people to hurt us. He deserves to be damned..."
Jiang Jun stopped Dongfang Qing from saying anything: "Junior sister, please stop talking. This matter ends here. As long as Han Qi no longer causes trouble for us, we will take a step back and no longer pursue this matter. Don't forget what Master said. We have to practice and live in Feixianmen, and we meet Han Qi from time to time. If things get serious, it will not be good for anyone."
Dongfang Qing curled his lips: "I'm not willing to give in. Han Qi instigated people to hurt me and my junior brother, let's forget it. I really can't swallow this breath."
Qi Feihong advised: "Senior sister, don't think too much. When we become stronger, it won't be too late to settle the score with Han Qi. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. Now that we are not strong enough, it is better to be patient."
Jiang Jun said: "Junior brother is right, even if you want to settle accounts with Han Qi, there is no need to rush. If we successfully enter the Feixian Sect, we will only be the outer disciples of the Feixian Sect at the beginning, with a low status. Some things are better to endure."
Dongfang Qing said: "I just can't stand Han Qi's cunning and insidious look...Forget it, I listen to you, senior brother, and don't cause trouble for Han Qi." After a pause, Dongfang Qing looked at Qi Feihong and said: "Junior brother , you don’t know any combat skills, how can you deal with the dangers and changes that may occur at any time during the trial?"
Qi Feihong really wanted to ask Jiang Jun or Dongfang Qing to teach him a move or a half, but he chose alchemy and weapon refining skills, and Dongfang Qing and Jiang Jun really couldn't teach him. Jin Min was not an alchemist or weapon refiner, so there was no way to teach him either. Among the people he is familiar with, probably only Shangqing Sanren are qualified to teach him, but unfortunately they are no longer there now.
Qi Feihong had never thought that Shangqing Sanren were actually weapon refiners before. When he learned from Jiang Jun and the others, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Qi Feihong is now the laggard among the four, and he himself doesn't want to. Unfortunately, he can only do this before meeting the Shangqing Sanren.
Jiang Jun said with a smile: "Junior brother, don't worry, the trial mission will end soon. When we see the master, the master will personally teach you the art of weapon refining. For now, you can make do with it and use me Use your Heavenly Punishment Crossbow to protect yourself. With Junior Sister’s armor protecting you, there won’t be any big problems.”
Qi Feihong was about to thank Jiang Jun and Qi Feihong again for giving him the magic weapon to protect him, when he heard someone say: "Jiang Jun, are Mr. Jiang here? I am Jin Xian'er. I have something to see Mr. Jiang."
Everyone was stunned. Jiang Jun stood up and opened the door. He looked at Jin Xian'er standing outside the door, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Jin came to see me so late. What's the matter?"
Jin Xian'er leaned over and glanced at Qi Feihong behind Jiang Jun, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I'm here to see Mr. Qi Feihong."
Jiang Jun turned back in confusion, glanced at Qi Feihong, and said sideways: "Junior brother, Miss Jin is here to see you. Let's talk."
Qi Feihong was also full of doubts and a little uneasy, but in order not to cause any misunderstanding, he still went out, walked up to Jin Xian'er, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Jin, are you looking for me?"
Jin Xian'er stared at Qi Feihong and whispered, "I'll take a step to talk." She didn't care whether Qi Feihong would follow her, so she turned around and left.
It seems that Jin Xian'er was able to find this place with some effort. After all, this place is very remote, and it is difficult to find it without deliberately looking for it.
Jin Xian'er was definitely an uninvited guest. Her arrival made not only Qi Feihong feel confused and uneasy, but even the carefree Dongfang Qing frowned slightly, showing a trace of confusion.
