The patriarch Baicheng stared at the group of young people behind him with wide eyes, but he couldn't see his son! He lamented in his heart: "Alas, my son Baicheng didn't come back. I don't know if he died outside.
Got it!"
At this time, two young men came over and prostrated themselves in front of Bei Zai.
"Who are you?"
"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 entire army was wiped out."
"Reporting to the clan leader, I have good news. Yicheng is not dead, he is staying in the Jiu clan to study art!"
When she heard this, she was overjoyed: "Isn't he dead? He was still left behind?"
"Yes, he has broken through to the third level of innateness and is qualified to stay in the 'Jiu Martial Hall'!"
"Haha, great thing! Great!"
According to the rules, the seventy-two Yi tribes are separated by ten years. Each tribe can select up to ten young men. If they can enter the third level of innateness within ten years, they can stay in Jiuwu Hall. There are benefits to staying there.
On the one hand, there is a chance to improve the skill, and on the other hand, the offerings handed in by the Poyi tribe will be reduced by part.
The Baoyi 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 the master spirit wizard, 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."
Linggu, one thousand catties of spiritual beans, one thousand catties of beautiful 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 the tributes can be reduced by 20%! You take back the jade ring, readjust the amount of tributes, and pay them again tomorrow.
Give it to me."
Yarrow kowtowed: "Yes." He stood up and left.
Later, the great witch and shaman came and knelt down, offered a hundred kilograms of jade, three hundred pieces of talisman paper, twenty talisman pens, and some yarrow that had grown for hundreds of years, and asked the old shaman for guidance in practice.
The old spirit wizard agreed and waved the rest of the people away.
Two or three hours later, when the sun was setting and it was getting late, Wu Huan left happily.
The next morning, Baizhi presented a jade ring filled with tributes and brought more than a hundred young people with him. These people were all under the age of sixteen, and their weakest skills were 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 passing by one by one.
Many people of the Laiyi 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, reached out and touched 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, while 11-year-old Bei Rong was selected!
The patriarch Baizhi was overjoyed and couldn't hide his excitement. He grabbed his wife Yi Niang's hand and said, "Haha, Baoku was chosen!"
Yi Niang curled her lips slightly, with a smile on her face, but she was thinking in her heart: "This is not the son I gave birth to! What should I be happy about?"
Yarrow had several concubines, with a total of 12 sons, 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 is wearing clean linen clothes, and his smell is very fresh. Moreover, his skills are relatively high and he has entered the innate realm. His spiritual energy is exuded, which is 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 a disciple of a witch?"
"Yes, sir."
"How old are you?"
"Thirteen years old."
"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 have been 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."
Cai Cai smiled and said: "Didn't you see that the spirit witch seems to like him very much? As long as the spirit witch is taking care of him, even if he encounters a big demon, he can still escape with his life."
The convoy led by Ling Wu stayed in the territory of the Boyi tribe for three days.
During this period, the people of the Lai Yi tribe exchanged items with 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 jade bracelet with a storage space of about ten feet. This jade bracelet was to conceal it from others.
His most important jade ring is hidden in his skin and cannot be known to the old wizard.
In addition, the gold daggers and incense burners he often used cannot be exposed to the spirit wizard. So he bought a sharp long 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 set off on the road with the convoy.
All the other teenagers followed the convoy, but Lu Cheng was called over by the spirit wizard 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, with snakes and insects hiding among them. On weekdays, few people dare to come.
The warrior who opened the way in front was holding a two-foot spear and stabbed snakes and insects of all sizes to death. Some snakes were very big, six or seven feet long, and their bodies were thicker than an adult's thighs, making people look hairy all over their bodies. p>
The young men behind also took out their weapons and were on guard. The merchant was walking in the middle, not far from the carriage of the spirit wizard.
Lu Cheng held a long sword, stabbed open a big snake, quickly took out the snake's gall, and kept it in a jade bracelet.
The spirit witch saw it and said nothing. Because snake gall is considered a primary "witch medicine", it is normal for Wu Kuang to collect it.
The spirit witch is an existence that surpasses the great witch, so naturally he does not need low-level witch medicine. But he also did this kind of work in his early years.
Shenlong Valley is about forty to fifty miles long. This team of people stabbed countless snakes and insects to death before they walked out of the valley. Some teenagers were also bitten by poisonous snakes, and one teenager unfortunately died._&
