Chapter Six: Outer Sect Trial Mission (Part 2)
(This chapter has not been proofread yet, but you can read it tomorrow!)
Before Yi Xifeng finished his question, Old Chen didn't waste any words this time. He bowed directly and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you to the immortal for your treatment, but I have nothing to repay you for. It's worth using these yellow and white things to express your gratitude!"
The young man holding the dark sword in his hand shook his head and said, "It's easy, no need to do this!"
"For the Immortal..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yi Xifeng, "I'm either an immortal or a warrior. I happen to know some medical skills. How about adding my internal energy skills to treat external injuries? Chen Lao, please don't leave me any longer." An immortal calls me something like an immortal. It doesn’t matter to me. Let a real immortal hear what you say. What if you meet a small-minded immortal and bring some disaster to your son..."
He discovered that it was more effective to make others feel that it was inappropriate to say so than to say that he was not.
Sure enough, Old Man Chen was stunned, and immediately raised his hands and said, "Young hero is right!"
Yi Xifeng: "..."
…
Old man Chen finally left this simple hut with uneasiness. Instead of accepting his money, the young man asked himself to help him with something. But in his opinion, this matter is not difficult at all for a hunter like him, let alone whether it is worth the price of the silver coins. He even felt that the other party only said this deliberately to reassure himself.
But having said that, this young Taoist priest is indeed a bit weird. He is obviously wearing a moon-white Taoist robe and has his hair tied in a bun, but he insists on saying that he is not a Taoist priest. What's even more interesting is that he also said that he is a martial artist from a martial arts sect and went down the mountain to practice.
Thinking of this, Old Chen could only shake his head with a wry smile and go back to prepare.
Two days later, Chen Xiaosi had recovered well. He was a young man after all. After waking up, he could eat, drink and sleep. He could get out of bed and move around soon. This is also due to the fact that he did not hurt his muscles and bones this time. If he were like Boss Zhao on the side, he would not be so lucky. His leg bone was broken by a ferocious wolf. Although the leg was saved, it would have to wait until spring to fully recover.
On the one hand, Old Chen has to take care of Chen Xiaosi these days, and on the other hand, he is busy with Yi Xifeng's arrangements for him.
In fact, it is simple to say, the other party asked the old man to provide him with a hunting map of the five hundred miles around Daoxiang Town. In fact, for the average hunter, hunting maps are important or unimportant.
It is important because, as a hunter, hunting is actually about hunting. To put it bluntly, hunting pictures are the job of the hunter. Of course, this metaphor is a bit exaggerated. After all, the hunter’s hunting skills are the rice bowl, but hunting pictures can also be regarded as “eating.” Chopsticks!"
But to say that it is not important is because the hunt is basically imprinted on the old hunter's mind. Whatever is drawn on the drawings is not a true hunting drawing. After all, mountain trends, rain, prey gathering areas, etc., these factors change every year. The real old hunter has the most accurate living map in his mind.
Therefore, after Old Man Chen heard this request, he did not ask any hunter for it, because he knew that all the hunting maps with pictures were prepared for novices, and he could not fool his savior with that one!
Although the hunting map said it was important or not, Old Man Chen knew in his heart that no matter whether it was important or not, it was actually worthless. The other party also said something that he could do to make up for the shortcoming in his heart.
Three days later, a brand new sheepskin map was placed on Yi Xifeng's stone table. It was densely covered with various notes. The mountains, rivers and ravines were all clearly depicted. He stretched out his hand to touch it and sighed slightly in his heart. The other person who came here really had his heart in mind.
These lines and notes are all ironed on, so even if the hunting map gets wet with water, it can still be used as usual.
Yi Xifeng was very happy to get this map. It was tantamount to gaining a greater advantage in the early stages of the trial.
This time he chose the mission of the Outer Sect Trial: to enter the Kingdom of Beasts to hunt down the King of Alien Beasts.
This task does not seem difficult, but the transportation component is relatively strong. With the current strength of the outer disciples of Zhenwu Dao Hall, hunting down the King of Alien Beasts alone is a threshold.
All kings of exotic beasts are at least those in the level of the chivalrous warrior. Its physical strength is much stronger than that of warriors, so it is difficult for ordinary warriors of the Mang Realm to deal with it. Even if you rely on excellent martial arts skills or resourcefulness, there is still a lot of risk. Moreover, most of the kings of strange beasts, especially those in the two realms of the Knight's Descent and the Invasion Realm, rarely act alone. After all, they have just stepped into the category of alien beasts, and their spiritual intelligence is definitely not as good as those with advanced cultivation, so they still rely heavily on the tribe.
Instead, they are those high-level alien beasts with profound strength, or great demons who have stepped into the realm of heroes! Only these strange beasts would choose to act alone, so the outer sect trial task of the Zhenwu Dao Palace is indeed not simple. In the past, it was rare for the disciples of the sect to choose this task, unless they were warriors with outstanding jungle survival experience.
As for why Yi Xifeng, dressed as a young Taoist priest, chose this seemingly unpleasant outer sect trial task, there are roughly two reasons:
First, since Yi Xifeng integrated the Nei Jin skills, his Nei Jin level has reached the peak of the Mang Realm, and his level has steadily reached the Half-Step Knight Realm. He needs a chance to enter the realm of knights and officially enter the "Third and Twelve Levels"! As for martial arts advancement, the best tips undoubtedly come from combat!
Second, most of the outer sect trial missions are cooperation missions with the Zhenwu Kingdom’s military, such as joining the Zhenwu Kingdom’s army and crusading against neighboring countries. There are not many missions that can go out, and there are even fewer missions that can leave Zhenwu Country. And the mission Yi Xifeng chose was the only mission that left Zhenwu Kingdom and went to the Kingdom of Beasts.
If you want to ask why Yi Xifeng insisted on leaving Zhenwu Kingdom and going to the Kingdom of Beasts, it is that it has been five years since he left Xiaoyuan Academy.
In the past five years, he has had no contact with those friends, nor has he heard any information about them. This is not difficult to understand. After all, the nine of them are not even heroes, they can only be regarded as some low-ranking minor characters. The world is so big, how can they hear news from everyone?
But even so, Yi Xifeng still wants to go! He wants to pass through the Kingdom of Beasts and return to Luo Yun Kingdom, because he has an agreement there. That’s right, as little as five years and as many as seven years! It has been exactly five years now. Of course, the earlier the better, the sooner we agree on this kind of thing. The young man believes that she must think so too.
