The patriarch, Bai Chai, stared at the group of young people behind him with wide eyes, but he didn't seem to see his son! He lamented in his heart: "Alas, my son Yicheng has not come back. I wonder if he died outside!"
At this time, two young men came over and prostrated themselves in front of Yin Zai.
"You are?"
"Meet the clan leader, we are Tie Qing and Hong Qiu. We stepped into the innate world and came back alive."
"Okay, seven people left, and only two came back. It's not like the whole army was wiped out."
"Reporting to the clan leader, I have good news. Pingcheng is not dead, he is staying in the Jiu clan to study art!"
When she heard this, she was overjoyed: "Isn't he dead? Is he still left behind?"
"Yes, he has broken through to the third level of Xiantian and is qualified to stay in the 'Jiu Martial Hall'!"
"Haha, great news! Great!"
According to the rules, the seventy-two Yi tribes are separated by ten years, and each tribe can select up to ten young men. If they can enter the third level of Xiantian within ten years, they can stay in Jiuwu Hall. There are benefits to staying there. Firstly, there is a chance to improve one's skills, and secondly, it will reduce part of the offerings handed in by the Neiyi people.
The Baiyi people are protected by the Jiu people. Not only do they accept the stone tablet array provided by the Jiu people, but they also have spiritual wizards come over to guide them. None of this is free.
With a smile on her face, Baizhi knelt down in front of the old spirit wizard, held a jade ring in her hand, and said: "Greetings to Lord Lingwu, this is the tribute prepared by our clan. There are three thousand kilograms of spiritual wheat in total, and five thousand kilograms of spiritual wheat." Spirit Valley, one thousand catties of spiritual beans, one thousand catties of jade, twenty tiger skins, three hundred wolf skins..."
Lu Cheng was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect so many tributes to be handed over.
The old spirit wizard took out a roll of parchment, read it for a while, and said: "Your son will stay in Jiuwu Hall to serve, and all tributes can be reduced by 20%! You take back the jade ring, readjust the amount of tributes, and pay them again tomorrow." Give me."
Yarrow kowtowed: "Yes." He stood up and left.
Later, the great witch and the shaman came and knelt down, offered a hundred kilograms of jade, 300 talisman papers, 20 talisman pens, and some yarrow that had grown for hundreds of years, and asked the old spiritual shaman to give guidance on practice.
The old spirit wizard agreed and waved the rest of the crowd away.
Two or three hours later, when the sun was setting and it was getting late, Wu Huan left happily.
On the morning of the next day, Baizhi presented a jade ring filled with tributes and brought more than a hundred young people with him. These people are all under the age of sixteen, and their weakest skills are at the fifth level of martial arts.
Lu Cheng wore clean linen clothes and stood among the many teenagers.
The old spirit shaman sat in the bamboo house and watched the young men slowly pass by one by one.
Many people of the Lai Yi tribe stood and watched from a distance, hoping that their nephew would be selected. Only if they were selected would they have room for progress, but if they were not selected, their future would be bleak.
"You, come here!" The old spirit wizard stopped a young man, stretched out his hand to touch the boy, and said: "You have been chosen!"
The young man was overjoyed and fell to his knees: "Thank you, sir!" Then he jumped up, opened his arms and ran away!
Then one by one the teenagers walked over, and the hope in their eyes turned into disappointment.
Lu Cheng's two younger brothers, Bei Ming and Bei Rong, also participated in the selection. As a result, 10-year-old Bei Ming failed, and 11-year-old Bei Rong was selected!
The patriarch, Baizhi, was overjoyed. His excited eyes could not be concealed. He grabbed his wife Yi Niang's hand and said, "Haha, Baoku has been chosen!"
Yi Niang curled her lips slightly with a smile on her face, but she was thinking in her heart: "This is not my son! What should I be happy about?"
Yarrow had several concubines and a total of 12 sons. The sons born to Yi Niang
There are three of them, the second son Yicheng and the eldest son Yinqiang are her pride.
More than a hundred teenagers walked over one after another. When the old spirit wizard saw Lu Cheng, he couldn't help but widen his narrowed eyes!
Lu Cheng was wearing clean linen clothes, and his smell was very fresh. Moreover, his skills were relatively high and he had entered the innate realm. His spiritual energy was exuding, which was completely different from the turbid aura of other teenagers!
The old wizard asked: "What is your name?"
Lu Cheng said: "My name is Wu Kuang. I have met you, sir."
"With the word 'witch' in front of your name, are you the apprentice of a witch?"
"Yes, my lord."
"how old are you?"
"Thirteen."
"How many runes have you mastered?"
"I know 6,000 runes, but I'm still far from mastering them." Lu Cheng lowered his strength. In fact, he knew 30,000 runes.
The old spirit wizard was very satisfied and said: "Okay, you are chosen!"
Lu Cheng said: "Thank you, sir!"
In the distance, the patriarch of the clan jumped up: "Haha, another son of mine has been chosen!"
The aunt did not curl her lips this time and praised: "This is a good and sensible boy. I hope he goes well and doesn't encounter danger on the road."
Laizhi smiled and said, "Don't you see that the spirit witch seems to like him very much? As long as the spirit witch is taking care of him, he can escape with his life even if he encounters a big demon."
The convoy led by Ling Wu stayed in the territory of the Yi tribe for three days.
During this period, the people of the Lai Yi tribe exchanged items with the merchants one after another.
Merchants brought many kinds of items, including weapons, magic weapons, and storage equipment. However, the people of the Laiyi tribe were relatively poor, and few people could exchange them for jade rings.
Lu Cheng took a piece of Daishan jade that weighed three kilograms and had spiritual energy, and exchanged it from the merchant for a storage jade bracelet with about ten feet of space. This jade bracelet is to hide from others.
His most important jade ring was hidden in his skin and could not be known to the old wizard.
In addition, the gold daggers and incense burners he often used cannot be exposed to the spirit witch. So he bought a sharp sword as a side weapon.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng said goodbye to his master Wu Huan, his two senior brothers, and the clan elder, and slowly followed the convoy on the road.
The other teenagers were following behind the convoy, but Lu Cheng was called over by the spirit shaman and told to follow the cart.
The convoy entered the long and narrow Shenlong Valley.
The Shenlong Valley is covered with weeds that are several feet tall, and snakes and insects hide among them. Few people dare to come here on weekdays.
The warrior who opened the way in front held a two-foot spear and stabbed snakes and insects of all sizes to death. Some snakes are very big, six to seven feet long, and their bodies are thicker than an adult's thighs, making people feel hairy all over their bodies.
The teenagers behind also took out their weapons and were on guard. The merchant was walking in the middle, not far from the spirit wizard's carriage.
Lu Cheng held a long sword and stabbed open a big snake. He quickly took out the snake's gall and put it in a jade bracelet.
The spirit witch looked at it and said nothing. Because snake gall is considered a primary "witch medicine", it is normal for Wu Kuang to collect it.
Spirit witches are existences that transcend great witches, so they naturally do not need low-level witchcraft medicine. But he also did this kind of work in his early years.
The Shenlong Valley is about forty or fifty miles long. This team of men and horses stabbed countless snakes and insects to death before walking out of the valley. Some teenagers were bitten by venomous snakes, and one teenager died unfortunately. _&
