&1t;!--The chapter content begins->Luo Ningxin smiled awkwardly and said, "I did go to Qingyun Inn yesterday, but it was not checking in, it was something else." At the same time, he carefully looked around, wondering if the black-clothed monk with a dangerous aura he met yesterday was also nearby.

"So that's it." Qi Jingxun was slightly disappointed, "I'm in the surname Qi, I don't know what my friends call me?"

Luo Ningxin said cautiously: "I am the next surname Luo."

Cultivators have always paid attention to privacy, unless they are from the same family or from a close family, they have always been alone and tacitly not to inquire about each other.

Qi Jingxun originally thought that she was staying in the same inn with Luo Ningxin, and seeing that Luo Ningxin was not old and handsome, she intuitively thought that she didn't look like a bad person, so she developed a close heart. Now that she learned that Luo Ningxin did not live in him, it was natural that she couldn't ask any more questions.

At this time, there were many cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage in the teahouse. Some were sharing their experiences, some were talking about the Huayang Sect entry-level competition that would be held soon, and some were forming gangs to hunt monsters in the Jade Valley. Qi Jingxun seemed to be very interested in hunting beasts in the Jade Valley. When someone mentioned it, he came over to participate in the discussion.

Regarding the Jade Valley, Luo Ningxin used to know some of the jade slips such as "The Immortal Cultivation World of Jin State". Now, when he heard these monks talk about it, Luo Ningxin added a lot of information he didn't know in the past.

This Emerald Valley is in the Huayang Mountains, not too far from Huayang City. If a monk in the Qi Refining Stage rides a horse, he can make a round trip for about twenty days. In addition, he will go into the valley to hunt beasts and find spiritual herbs to refine the timber. It takes about two months to travel back and forth.

It is said that the monsters in the Jade Valley were born from the top spiritual veins of the Huayang Mountains. They were also within the power territory of the Huayang Sect. They should have been privately owned by Huayang Sect, and other cultivators were not allowed to enter. However, the monsters had strong reproductive ability. With the surge in the number of monsters, it was almost unimaginable that Huayang Sect wanted to control all the monsters in the Jade Valley.

So Huayang Sect thought of a solution. They used the natural spiritual veins of Huayang Sect to set up an iron barrel-like ban around the Emerald Valley. The monsters inside could not come out easily, and the monks outside could not enter without permission. At the same time, Huayang Sect welcomed cultivators from all directions to enter the valley to hunt beasts, but every cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage who entered had to pay 80 spirit stones, and the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage had to pay 400 spirit stones.

In this way, the monks' hunting behavior of beasts can not only help Huayang Sect control the number of monsters in the Emerald Valley, but also make a considerable income.

The Emerald Valley is divided into inner valley and outer valley. Most of the monsters in the outer valley are first-level, equivalent to human Qi Refining Cultivator; most of the monsters in the inner valley are second-level, third-level, and fourth-level, corresponding to cultivators in the early stage of human foundation building, middle-level and late stage of foundation building. As for the fifth-level monsters corresponding to human Dan-King Cultivator, they have long been killed by the powerful predecessors of Huayang Sect, and there is no one in the Emerald Valley.

Monsters are full of treasures. Living monsters can be sold to other monks as spiritual pets; dead monsters can make talismans, refine elixirs, and sell them to fairy food shops; leather armor and bones can be used to refine weapons; even monsters above the second level will be refined into their bodies, which is a good material for refining elixirs.

As long as the monk who enters the Emerald Valley to hunt beasts and gets out alive, almost every monk can earn back the cost of entering the valley, and there will be no need to worry about the spirit stone in the next few months.

Naturally, countless monks flocked to the hunting holy places like the Jade Valley. Many monks even traveled thousands of miles to Huayang City. After living there for decades, they relied on hunting monsters in the Jade Valley to make a living.

But hunting monsters is not that easy. Although the monsters in the outer valley of the Emerald Valley are basically first-level, their cultivation is high and low. If a twelve-level monk faces a first-level cedar marten alone, it will naturally be easy to capture. But if you encounter a group of first-level silver wolf, you will only have the fate of burying the beast's belly.

Therefore, if you want to go to the Emerald Valley to hunt beasts, it is very necessary to form a team. But forming a team means joining other monks, and there is almost no trust among monks. So carefully choosing the team target is the most critical thing for this trip.

If the teammates are selected well, they can help each other and fight against the monsters together. In the end, not only are there many spoils, but they are also distributed fairly and get along well, and everyone is happy. If the teammates are selected poorly, then there will be fewer results in distribution, which is second. If someone takes the opportunity to kill someone to seize the treasure, it will be extremely unlucky!

Therefore, most monks who are interested in going to the Emerald Valley to hunt beasts will choose monks who are familiar with each other to form a team, or choose several teams with a good reputation in the beast hunting army to join.

Luo Ningxin heard that there were many monks in this teahouse who were short of money and planned to go to the Emerald Valley before the Huayang Sect ring to buy some magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs in exchange for the spirit stones. But these people are all competitors in the future. If they choose their teammates inadvertently, they may be killed by their teammates in the Emerald Valley and get rid of an invisible competitor. So everyone is hesitating and waiting.

Luo Ningxin is neither lacking in spirit stones nor cultivators whom he is familiar with and trusted, so he will definitely not participate in the hunting beasts at this time. After exploring some information, she left the teahouse. When she left, Qi Jingxun had not left yet, and was still in the small circle discussing the trip to the Emerald Valley, looking eager to try but unable to make up his mind.

Because there was enough energy to gather and disperse for Luo Ningxin to practice, Luo Ningxin paused her attempt to refine alchemy with mutated jade spirit herbs. She not only made talismans and changed spirit stones every day, but also meditated and practiced hard. She occasionally went to the shop to see if there were any magical tools suitable for her.

In the anxious and expectant waiting, the arena competition for Huayang Sect to openly recruit disciples has finally arrived.

The arena competition is in Huayang City for the "fighting platform" used to deal with the personal grievances of monks. However, there is only one fighting platform in normal times. Now Huayang Sect has built four temporary fighting platforms, a total of five.

These five fighting platforms are all equipped with powerful magic arrays. When monks fight in it, they let magic spells spread all over the sky and magic weapons fly, and their power cannot pass through the magic array and hurt the onlookers outside. Moreover, during the battle, if someone says the word "sacrifice", they will be automatically transmitted out of the magic array. In the battle without spells, the life safety of the monks is guaranteed to a certain extent.
