Chapter 16 Distributing the Hunt
Through Luo Shou's introduction, Xiao Lin found out that the girl who spoke for him was Luo Shou's biological sister Luo Shuang. This made Xiao Lin couldn't help but take a deep look at Luo Shou. He didn't understand why he looked tall and thick. Luo Shou would also have such a pure and lovely sister.
The pair of Lu brothers, one named Lu Wen and the other Lu Wu, also came to Wuyin Fairy City from Yuxi Country four years ago. As for the ugly dwarf, his name was Miao Wu and he was dressed in barbarian clothing. After being introduced, Xiao Lin learned that he was from Jinshi. A mountain tribe in China.
After Luo Shou introduced the backgrounds of several people, he also introduced their cultivation levels to Xiao Lin. Luo Shou was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, Luo Shuang was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the Lu brothers were both at the fifth level. As for the dwarf Miao Wu, he was also at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but Miao Wu was relatively low-key and talked relatively little among the others, and their team was obviously dominated by Luo Shou.
Xiao Lin naturally introduced himself, saying only that he was from Yuxi Country, accidentally got a basic exercise book, practiced randomly for several years, and then reached the third level, and accidentally learned that there was someone in the Tianlu Mountains. A fairy city hidden in the fog is a resort for cultivators to practice, so I came to look for it alone, wanting to try my luck to see if I have this fairy fate. As for the twists and turns, I mentioned it in one sentence without going into detail. explain.
Luo Shou and others didn't care either. In their eyes, Xiao Lin's situation was not uncommon in Wuyin Immortal City. There were even many such examples around them.
While Xiao Lin was chatting with them, he also learned that they came to Black Scale Lake this time to hunt a kind of monster called the Black Scale Snake. This kind of monster is an elementary mortal monster and a peak first-level monster. Monster.
Xiao Lin had heard the name of mortal level monsters from Qi Chang before, and had always been curious about the classification of monsters. This time he happened to meet Luo Shou, a veteran of cultivation, so he naturally humbly asked for advice.
It turns out that cultivators are divided into five realms according to their level of cultivation: Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Pill, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transformation. Generally, cultivators in the Qi Refining stage can only be considered as having entered the cultivation realm. In the world, only the foundation-building stage and above can be considered a true cultivator. This is mainly because at different levels, not only the strength is very different, but more importantly, the longevity will be greatly improved. For cultivators in the Qi-refining stage, the longevity and There is no difference between mortals. If there is a difference, the cultivator will not die prematurely due to illness. Under normal circumstances, as long as a cultivator in the Qi refining period is not killed, there is nothing wrong with living safely to a hundred years old. questionable.
Once the realm breaks through again and enters the foundation building stage, then the life span will jump to two hundred years, and as the cultivation level in the foundation building stage improves, the life span will further increase. Of course, this also varies from person to person. The skills you practice have a lot to do with it, but if you can practice to the peak of the foundation building stage and live to be two hundred, thirty or forty years old, it won't be a big problem.
If the realm reaches the golden elixir stage, then the life span will be doubled again. It is not a problem to live a 500th birthday. Legend has it that the highest person can even live to nearly 600 years old. And if you go further and have great luck, enter After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, a thousand years of life is enough for a person to live until he becomes impatient. Even with the improvement of cultivation, it is not impossible to live for another three to four hundred years. As for the transformation of gods, in this period No one knows whether the world exists or not. If you can really enter the realm of divine transformation, you might become immortal directly.
After hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but be stunned. He never dreamed that cultivation would have such benefits. Think about it, if one day he could really cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage and enjoy a thousand years of life, how disappointing it would be. It was something that people envied, which made his heart feel hot and increased his determination to practice hard.
The levels of monsters are also based on the realm of human beings, and are divided into mortal level, true level, emperor level, emperor level, and heaven level, which correspond to the Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, Yuan Ying and Shen transformation of human cultivators. For example, the Qi refining period is divided into ten levels. The first three levels are the early stage of Qi refining, the fourth to sixth levels are the middle stage of Qi refining, and the seventh to ninth levels are the late stage of Qi refining. The tenth level of Qi refining is also called the peak of Qi refining or the great period of Qi refining. Perfect, the corresponding monsters are also from the basic mortal level, intermediate level, high level and Dzogchen level, and so on, and what Luo Shou and the others are about to hunt is a black scale snake, a kind of basic mortal level monster. Although the black-scaled snake corresponds to the early stage of human Qi refining, due to the invulnerability of this black-scaled snake's scale armor and the extremely poisonous nature of this snake, in terms of strength, it is probably no less than an ordinary mid-level monster, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
The black scales of the black-scaled snake are a good material for cultivators in the Qi refining period to refine magical weapons. As long as they get enough black scales, they can even refine mid-level magical weapons, and low-level cultivators in the Misty Hidden Fairy City Among them, the black scales and venom of black-scaled snakes are very popular materials. Many low-level cultivators like to form teams to hunt black-scaled snakes, so that the number of black-scaled snakes has dropped sharply now.
Black Scale Lake is a place where black scale snakes often hang out, but after years of hunting, they are rarely found anymore. Luo Shou also passed by this place by chance and found a nest of black scale snakes basking in the sun by the lake. He was so happy that he wanted to hunt them, but he never thought that there were three adult black-scaled snakes in this nest. Not only did he not succeed in hunting them, but he was seriously injured by the black-scaled snakes and was poisoned by snake venom. I happen to be carrying an antidote elixir, I'm afraid my life will be left here.
Therefore, after he recovered from his injury for a few months, he contacted a few friends to hunt these black-scaled snakes together, firstly for revenge, and secondly, to use them to make up for the loss of the antidote elixir.
Following a few people, they walked along the lake. Xiao Lin kept asking questions. Now he was like a countryman who had just entered the city, full of curiosity about everything. Luo Shuang looked at Xiao Lin from time to time along the way, his eyes full. With a smile on her face, she seemed to see in Xiao Lin what she looked like when she first entered the world of cultivation.
In order not to alert others, they kept walking. After walking half the distance around the lake, Luo Shou took the lead and stopped.
"Brother Luo, where is the nest of black-scaled snakes you saw?" Lu Wen frowned and said.
"Brother Lu, don't worry, it's not far ahead. This black-scaled snake is usually very alert. If it sees so many of us, it will probably jump directly into the lake, leaving us helpless."
"Brother, how about I go over first and secretly use snow silkworm nets to surround the shore, and then we can do it again?" Luo Shuang took out a ball of white silk from his arms, his delicate face full of excitement.
Shaking his head, Luo Shou said: "You will definitely be discovered by black-scaled snakes in the past. Black-scaled snakes are very sensitive. As long as you get within ten feet of them, you will definitely be discovered."
"What should we do?" Luo Shuang pouted and said.
"Brother Miao, I need to use your Qi Condensation Technique. I'll go there first. These black scale snakes must be very familiar with me. They didn't kill me last time. They will definitely catch up with me when they see me this time. This time When Brother Miao sneaks into their lair and takes out a few snake eggs, the black-scaled snakes will be furious and will not stop dying. Then we will set up a trap by the lake and kill them in one fell swoop." After thinking for a moment, Luo Shou. He spoke.
Hearing this, Miao Wu remained silent, seeming to be thinking about the stakes involved. This made Luo Shou quite unhappy, and his face could not help but darken.
"Brother Luo, you are the captain. Miao will naturally comply. However, after killing the black scale snake, I will take away two pieces of reverse scale. As long as Brother Luo agrees, Miao is willing to take a risk." Seeing Luo Shou's face, Miao Wu raised his head and said with a smile.
Xiao Lin saw on the sidelines that after hearing what Miao Wu said, the faces of the Lu brothers turned gloomy. They were obviously dissatisfied with Miao Wu's approach of seeking benefits first. This also gave Xiao Lin a deeper understanding of these cultivators. , and also understood that these people are not easy people, and they are all cunning and calculating. This also made him secretly glad that he had expressed his stance before, otherwise, he would be worried even if he could get the prey. Endless trouble.
"Forget it, there are three adult snakes in this nest of black-scaled snakes. Each adult snake has two reverse scales. In this way, if we can successfully kill three black-scaled snakes, Shuang'er and I will divide the six reverse scales into two pieces. Lu Two pieces for the Shi brothers, two pieces for the Miao brothers, and of course we will divide the remaining snake venom and eggs equally according to the head, how about it?" Luo Shou thought for a moment and said.
After hearing Luo Shou's arrangement, Xiao Lin was really impressed. Miao Wu's approach of seeking benefits first made him understand that if the results of this hunting are not arranged well, I am afraid that several people will not be able to work together and it will be a disaster. As a result, this hunting operation fell short, so he first stated the distribution plan. This plan basically took into account everyone's needs. In Xiao Lin's opinion, it should be considered fair.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the Lu brothers and Miao Wu softened their expressions, and then Lu Wen took the lead in complimenting Luo Shou, which seemed to agree with his distribution plan, and Miao Wu also followed suit.
Soon, several people reached a temporary distribution agreement.
Several people never mentioned Xiao Lin from beginning to end, and Xiao Lin also knew himself. He only met a few people by chance, not to mention that his cultivation level was only at the third level of Qi Refining. Even if he put aside this level of relationship, he rashly got involved. Neither is a wise choice.
Moreover, in Xiao Lin's view, it is more important for him to understand some common sense about cultivation. As for hunting monsters and obtaining materials, there will be many opportunities in the future.
After discussing the distribution plan, Luo Shuang and the Lu brothers went to the shore, chose an open space, and began to set up traps. Luo Shou and Miao Wu sat down cross-legged, closing their eyes and concentrating. Xiao Lin did not continue. After asking around, he chose a safe place far away, sat down cross-legged, silently recited the mantra, and practiced the Dry Water Sutra.
An hour later, Luo Shuang and the Lu brothers had obviously laid a trap. They found several boulders nearby and hid behind them. At this time, Luo Shou and Miao Wu opened their eyes almost at the same time.
Luo Shou nodded to Miao Wu, and then a layer of yellow light flashed under his feet. With a slight flash, he jumped five or six feet away and disappeared among the reeds by the lake in the blink of an eye.
Miao Wu recited a few spells in his mouth, and at the same time, a faint green light flashed under his feet, and then the green light enveloped his whole body, forming a light shield the size of an egg, looming, and he followed Luo Go in the direction of longevity.
Xiao Lin on the side thought for a while, then withdrew another ten feet, then found a big rock and hid quietly behind it, only sticking his head out slightly.
