More than ten miles outside Weifang City, there is a small mountain standing on the plain, like a meat bun.
There is a temple on the mountain called Qixia.
In Qixia Temple, there is a branch called Qixia Xiaoyuan.
Early morning.
Looking outside Qixia, fallen leaves are flying.
A man was gently sweeping the dead leaves, lowering his head and saying nothing.
There are sparse woods on the mountain, and streaks of sunlight fall from above, forming beams of light.
Wei He walked up the steps slowly and came to Qixia Temple and saw the Taoist who was cleaning.
"This Taoist Priest has come to fulfill my half-month appointment." He said solemnly.
"Please come in, layman." The Taoist raised his head, glanced at him, and nodded.
Wei He nodded and walked forward.
When we walked to the Taoist temple gate, the gate suddenly opened by itself.
He was a little surprised, but with a calm expression on his face, he stepped through the door with a natural expression.
After entering the door, there was a stone table in the courtyard, with two people sitting around it, playing black and white chips.
One of the two people was Mr. Sun Tanguang, whom Wei He had known before.
"Come on, come on, brother Chen came early enough. The time has not come yet." Sun Tanguang stood up and clasped his fists.
Wei He returned the greeting with cupped fists.
"Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I came here first. I live in Weifang City, which is close enough."
"That's okay, let's come first and we can have a chat first." Sun Tanguang said with a smile, and then extended his hand to introduce the other person who stood up.
"Come on, come on, this is Xu Miaoran, the master of Yuanxu Cave in Wufang Mountain."
The man who stood up was dressed as a military commander, wearing a black armor vest, carrying a sword on his back, and wearing a thick black metal helmet on his head.
Standing up, he saw that this man was two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a broad body, and was very imposing.
Sun Tanguang introduced Wei He's identity to the other party again.
"Brother Xu, this is Brother Wei Hewei, the leader of the Wan Du Sect in Taizhou. He is now alias Chen Tang and living in seclusion in Wei Fang City."
Good guy, this old man revealed everything about Wei He as soon as he opened his mouth.
Wei He felt awe-struck. He had just been recognized by someone from the Katori Sect before, and now he was immediately identified.
These scattered people seem to be more than just scattered people.
"I've met Brother Xu."
"I've met Brother Wei."
After Wei He and Xu Miaoran greeted each other, the three of them sat down again.
"Brother Wei came just in time. We are discussing to join forces to hunt the nearby Zhaoye Qinglin tiger." Sun Tanguang said.
"The Green Forest Tiger in the Night?" Wei He asked in confusion, "What is this? Brothers, please don't blame me. I just broke through and I haven't really settled on it yet, so..."
"Brother, I'm joking. Before I've even made up my mind, I can fight back two of the Wushi Sect with one against two. Even if I don't make up my mind, we don't dare to underestimate you at all." Sun Tanguang shook his head and said with a smile.
As soon as he said these words, Xu Miaoran's eyes looked at him slightly. "Brother Wei doesn't know that Zhaoye Qinglinhu is in the real world, near Weifang City. The real people in Wanfei Palace look down upon this person.
It's a little guy, but for us scattered people, if we can kill this strange beast, each of us can get some star stones."
Xu Miaoran calculated it and said again.
"If divided among five people, each person can get two or two star stones."
"..." Wei Heyi compared the prices he heard at the small meeting before and was speechless.
At the small meeting, any bottle of the cheapest elixir cost twelve star stones.
But in front of us was a strange beast worth twelve star stones, which actually required five individual people to work together to deal with it.
"Brother Wei, please don't look at this young star stone." Xu Miaoran said helplessly, "No one can exchange star stones for ordinary gold."
"And in the real world, real people use star stones for transactions. So... we and other ordinary people are all suffering..."
Sun Tanguang on the side also nodded.
"We and other San people are all talented, lucky, and perseverant, and they are all overlords in their respective realms.
But when we really step into the real world, we understand what kind of heritage those big sects represent. It’s incomparable, it’s incomparable..."
The two people sighed deeply, which made Wei He feel a little bit about the difficulty of the road to the true state.
However, he did not forget the purpose of this trip.
"Speaking of which, I have just stepped into the real world for the first time, and what I have settled on is just the sense of touch. I haven't asked my two brothers yet, why can't I see this strange hunting beast everywhere?
Since it is near Wei Fang City, why has no one heard of strange beasts causing trouble?" Wei He asked.
Weifang City is under the jurisdiction of Wanfei Palace in Jinzhou. All strange beasts have been cleared away. No strange beasts have been heard to cause trouble within dozens of miles nearby.
"I don't know something." Xu Miaoran said with a smile, "The strange beasts that ordinary people talk about are the strange beasts that can be seen with the naked eye. Among the strange beasts, there is also a true state. This true state of strange beasts is different from ordinary ones."
"What's the difference? Please give me some advice," Wei He said seriously.
Xu Miaoran may have explained it carefully with the intention of forming a good relationship.
"There are two types of real beasts. One is the alienated form of real people like us. These beasts are more powerful entities and can only move in one area. There is no danger."
"The other kind is the real-world exotic beast, which is not visible to ordinary people's naked eyes." Xu Miaoran paused, "Actually, most of the ordinary alien beasts are transformed by the diluted blood of these alien beasts. In the beginning,
, all alien beasts are real. Ordinary alien beasts that are not weakened.”
Wei He's heart was shaken.
No wonder...no wonder he has always been a little confused as to why many strange beasts were classified separately.
If they are purely indigenous creatures, people should just give them names instead of inexplicably classifying them into a separate category.
Now it seems that the roots are here.
"Extraordinary beasts are usually invisible to ordinary people. Only real people like us, who use our super senses, can perceive and capture them. Therefore, only real people can truly detect and come into contact with real strange beasts." Xu Miaoran explained.
"In this regard, if Brother Wei can join a certain sect in the future, he will be able to know many secrets." Sun Tanguang sighed at the side.
Wei He understood and asked again: "So, doesn't it mean that real-world exotic beasts have no harmful effects on ordinary people?"
"Otherwise." Sun Tanguang shook his head.
"The impact of real and exotic beasts on ordinary people will be shown in various other ways. For example, severe drought, disease, war, floods...etc."
"Like the legendary powerful beast Xionggu, once it is born, all water sources will dry up wherever it passes, the earth will dry up, and the dealers will wither."
"There is also the strange beast Long Ji, who is good at howling like a woman. Its body is like a dragon and snake. Wherever it passes, poisonous swamps will appear."
"There is also the alien beast Xuan Xie. It is rumored that it is an extremely powerful beast. When it is born, there will be war."
Sun Tanguang's words immediately reshaped Wei He's outlook, as if he were hearing a myth.
"Of course, these are extremely powerful beasts that we cannot touch. There are those top sects in front of them. If something happens, they will be the first to go." Sun Tanguang waved his hand and said relaxedly.
"It's really... eye-opening!" Wei He sighed sincerely.
Then, he asked the two of them about how the super sense could withstand the erosion of the ghost wind.
"Ghost wind erosion is inevitable. Unless you are in the Paradise of Cave, you will encounter it anywhere in the outside world." Sun Tanguang explained.
"Generally, we have two ways to resist the ghost wind."
"Which two?" Wei He listened attentively.
"The first is the elixir. The second is to ask senior experts to protect the law. As long as you can withstand the initial ghost wind, you can slowly extend the time and let your body adapt." Sun Tanguang said.
While they were talking, three more people filed in outside the courtyard gate.
The two people in front were both dressed like powerful men, wearing large cloaks, tokens and weapons on their waists, and their eyes were shining.
The person behind is a woman, wearing leather armor and breeches, which outline her slim figure.
It's just that the woman has light blue eyes and long purple hair. She doesn't seem to be from the Yuan Dynasty.
"Brother Ouyang, Brother Wang, and Miss Mu! You three are all well." Upon seeing this, Sun Tanguang, as the host, stood up, clasped his fists, and said with a smile.
"Mr. Sun, time is limited, so don't delay and get started."
The man walking in front had a face in his prime, sharp edges and a straight nose.
Looking at his outfit, there is no gold or silver, but from the details, you can see that everything he wears is of great value.
"What Brother Ouyang said is absolutely true, so let's start now."
Sun Tanguang seemed to attach great importance to this Ouyang man.
Wei He frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by his attitude.
But Sun Tanguang's voice came to my ears.
"Brother Wei doesn't know. Ouyang Wen's family has a good academic background. He has elders practicing in Dongtian Paradise. In addition, he is not very old, only less than forty years old. It is very likely that he will be introduced to the Paradise in the future."
No wonder....
Wei He glanced at the people who were talking.
Several people, including Xu Miaoran, seemed to give in to Ouyang Wen.
Moreover, Sun Tanguang's voice just now did not attract anyone's attention. It seemed that it was some kind of sound transmission technique.
Soon, the six people entered the small courtyard of the Taoist temple one by one.
There are vacant seats in the courtyard, arranged in a circle, with a huge round table in the middle.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start this exchange." Sun Tanguang smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down on their seats.
"I'm going to start by offering some advice." He first took out a green, crystal-clear bead, the size of a longan.
"This object is called the Emerald Deer Eye. It can restrain one's aura and not attract the attention of ordinary real-world beasts. To use it, just light it. The duration is one stick of incense. The exchange price is one or two star stones."
As soon as he heard about the Star Stone, Wei He felt helpless. He didn't have any Star Stone on him, so he probably couldn't buy anything this time.
Soon, Ouyang Wen bid for Cui Luyan.
Then Xu Miaoran took out a set of treasure bags, which contained something called Wuxin Incense, which seemed to be specially used to attract a certain kind of strange beast.
It was quickly taken away by others.
Everyone began to take out things and exchange what they needed.
What surprised Wei He was that there were two people present, who, like him, were not in Dinggan, but were borderline between Dinggan and practicing Zang.
But when he thought about the conditions for issuing Wanfei Palace's special invitation token, he understood.
Soon, as almost everyone had something to exchange.
Only Wei He asked about what he needed, which was the fruit of rebirth required for the practice of Five Turns of Dragon Breath. Unfortunately, few people had heard of it.
In the end, Wei He didn't change anything.
"Mr. Sun, why don't you find someone who needs more?" Ouyang Wen asked with a frown.
"If you don't exchange, what are you doing?"
Those present here, including him, Wang Cheng, and Wei He, all come from the same background.
The three of them are all leaders of a major force, but they are located in different areas.
Wei He is from Taizhou, Wang Cheng and Ouyang Wen are from Chenzhou.
But both he and Wang Cheng changed at least three things. Only Wei He didn't change either, occupying the quota.
Sun Tanguang was also a little confused, but he was the one who invited the person. He just saw that Wei He could get the special invitation token and should have some resources, so he invited him.
Now Wei He doesn't change anything, which makes his face look a little ugly.
Isn’t this a free use of the quota?
There is also a limit on the number of people in each private gathering. In order to create a safe environment, the formations Sun Tanguang needs to set up are also costly.
Due to the formation, this place will be immune to real disasters for a short time.
Otherwise, what should we do if we suddenly encounter a disaster and have an accident while exchanging resources?
Therefore, every time we have a small group meeting, everyone hopes to get as many things as possible.
Wei He didn't change anything and still occupied a position in vain. No wonder others were upset.
"Forget it, forget it, Brother Wei is a newcomer and doesn't understand the rules yet. I won't do it again in the future." Sun Tanguang waved his hand. "This time there are not all the people. Seeing that there is one more vacant seat, I invited Brother Wei to join me. It’s not a waste either.”
"Now that the exchange is complete, the next step is to cooperate on the expedition against Zhaoye Qinglin Tiger. Are any of you interested?" He looked at Ouyang Wen, Wang Cheng, Wei He, and the purple-haired, blue-eyed woman.
"Zhaoye Qinglin Tiger is good at burrowing into the ground, walks like the wind, and is extremely fast, but it has very few star stones, and the price/performance ratio is too low. I'll forget it, my movement skills are too slow, and it will be in vain." Wang Cheng declined politely.
"Can I join one?" Wei He suddenly said.
This is an opportunity, an opportunity to see the strength of other San people and see how to hunt real and exotic beasts.
With the cooperation of so many people and his extremely fast speed, as long as he doesn't act rashly, there will be room for maneuver if something goes wrong.
