Chapter 73 Three Monster Hunting Families

Walking along the bluestone-paved streets of Fangshi, looking at the shops with their doors wide open.

And the noise coming from the crowded monks, it seemed very prosperous and lively.

After crossing three different streets, Xu Feng took Luo Xinran into the gate of Ju Fu Pavilion.

When they first arrived, Yinglong was busy entertaining guests, and even the old shopkeeper who had not appeared for a long time was accompanying the guests to check the quality of the talismans.

Seeing that the two were very busy, Xu Feng did not disturb them, after all, he could be considered an acquaintance.

He directly pulled Luo Xinran to sit down, and then made two cups of spiritual tea by himself.

That's right, it was spiritual tea.

I don't know if it was because the business of Ju Fu Pavilion had improved, the old shopkeeper specially asked Yinglong to prepare some spiritual tea for guests.

"Xiaofeng, what should I call these two later?"

Luo Xinran asked him while drinking tea, and at the same time, his eyes kept glancing at the two of them, revealing a hint of worry in his words.

Seeing this, Xu Feng smiled slightly, held her hand, and introduced:

"The older monk is called Jiang Shan, but most monks don't know this name. I just learned it recently. I usually call him the shopkeeper, and you can call him that too.

As for the younger one, his surname is Ying and his given name is Long. You can call him Brother Ying."

Seeing that she was still a little worried, he continued to comfort her:

"Don't be afraid, they are master and disciple, and they are good people. I..."

He told Luo Xinran again about the old shopkeeper who lent him spirit stones to pay the rent.

As soon as the story was finished, the master and disciple also sent off the guests they had received, and then came to Xu Feng and the others together.

"Shopkeeper, Brother Ying."

He stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, and Luo Xinran followed suit and greeted the two of them separately.

"Don't be polite, my friend. Haven't I told you many times? Just treat this place as your own home and be more casual."

The old shopkeeper Jiang Shan smiled gently, and at the same time, he looked at Luo Xinran and asked:

"Who is this young friend?"

"This is my neighbor who lives in the same yard as me. Her name is Luo Xinran. She has nothing to do today, so she specially accompanies me out for a walk."

After listening to his explanation, the old shopkeeper seemed to believe it and just kept praising him.

And Yinglong secretly gave Xu Feng a thumbs up when Luo Xinran couldn't see.

Because he clearly remembered that the last time Xu Feng came to hand in the talisman, he was accompanied by another female cultivator.

"Oh, I really envy Fellow Daoist Xu!

There are so many female cultivators around me, while I only have an old man like my master around me.

But Fellow Daoist Xu has his capital.

Not only is he handsome, but he is also sure that he can draw second-level talismans at a young age.

Such a talent is one of the best even in Tianyun Market, which has thousands of cultivators.

On the other hand, I am not proficient in any of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, but my qualifications are just okay. How can I be favored by female cultivators?"

Just when Yinglong saw Xu Feng leading his beautiful companions to express his feelings, he didn't know that the old shopkeeper had called him several times.

"Yinglong, what are you thinking about so deeply? I asked you to make a pot of tea."

Under Xu Feng's cough, Yinglong finally reacted. When he saw his master's face as dark as ink, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Holding the teapot, he immediately ran to the back hall.

"Excuse me, my disciple has been talking nonsense all the time, and I don't know what he is thinking!"

Hearing the shopkeeper scolding his disciple, Luo Xinran and the others laughed along and did not respond.

Until Yinglong made tea again and brought it to the table, the old shopkeeper took a cup and began to ask him about his purpose.

"My friend, you are here to hand in the talismans, right? Take them out and have a look. I also want to know if your current talisman making skills have improved?"

Hearing this, Xu Feng stood still and did not take the things. He just smiled and said:

"I came here specifically to explain this matter. I am afraid that I can't hand in all the fifty first-level middle-grade talismans this month."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yinglong spoke anxiously.

"Oh, that's not good. I missed a good opportunity to earn spirit stones!

Brother Xu, you may be obsessed with making talismans and don't know what happened in the market recently."

Xu Feng was stunned when he heard this. It was just as Yinglong said. He had been busy making talismans for more than a month and didn't know what happened.

"I hope Brother Ying will give me some advice."

He first looked at the shopkeeper and Luo Xinran's expressions and found that they looked normal, which meant that they knew about this matter.

But since the topic was raised by Yinglong, he asked him directly.

"Okay, then I'll tell you.

I believe that Brother Xu also knows that our Tianyun Market is located on the outskirts of the Wanshan Mountains and is impacted by the beast tide from time to time.

So every thirty years, the Liu family, the loose cultivator alliance and the Tiangang Sect will organize cultivators to clear the outer areas of the mountains closest to our Tianyun Market.

This has been going on for hundreds of years and has never been interrupted.

And the three families have reached an agreement with each other to fight in this way to determine the division of interests in the market for the next thirty years.

And this activity, the cultivators in the market also spontaneously gave it a name, called the Three Families Hunting Monsters."

Hearing this, Xu Feng was obviously interested.

You know, his master and his future mistress are still in Lingxiao Mountain in the Wanshan Mountains, and their lives and deaths are uncertain!

Lingxiao Mountain is not far from Tianyun Market, and it is also within the scope of the joint cleanup of the three forces.

He was thinking, should he also participate in this event? He could also take the opportunity to find out the whereabouts of his master.

"Brother Ying, I am quite curious about this matter, and I hope you can explain it in detail."

Seeing that he was interested, Yinglong became more interested in talking, cleared his throat, and continued:

"The way of the three families' competition is that each person chooses two mountains as the target of cleanup, and then each summons 100 monks to enter the selected area, and then the period is limited to one month, and finally the number of prey obtained is used to calculate the winner."

"Are the 100 monks all from their clansmen and disciples?"

He especially wanted to know this question. If so, his idea might be in vain.

"Of course not. Although the three forces are all very powerful, it is still very difficult to gather a hundred cultivators with a cultivation level higher than the fifth level of Qi Refining.

And the encirclement and suppression of monsters will cause casualties. They are not so stupid. At most, they will arrange ten cultivators, and the rest will be recruited from the scattered cultivators."

This question was answered by the shopkeeper. It seems that he is also very concerned about this matter and has inquired more thoroughly.

"Is the fifth level of Qi Refining the minimum cultivation level for selection?"

"Yes, the minimum is the fifth level of Qi Refining. There is not much point in entering the mountain with a cultivation level that is too low."

"I understand. Thank you for your understanding."
