Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

Chapter 448: The Young Man’s Promise Under the Starry Night

Lu Zhuo looked at Duan Yuyan for help. "Old Duan, you're a senior student at the Jixia Academy. You must have a place to live, right?"

In the wilderness? Eating raw meat and drinking blood?

Young Sect Master Lu has never suffered such abuse in his life.

"Do you think that with my Jindan stage cultivation, I can occupy a territory in the inner mountains?" Duan Yuyan asked back.

Lu Zhuo: "..."

"I live with my master, so I can't help you." Duan Yuyan said with a regretful expression.

"You're laughing at me, aren't you?"

"Really? You're seeing things."

"..."

Si Chenbi took the Jiuji Star Plate and surveyed the nearby terrain. Finally, he set his eyes on a mountain that was neither too high nor too low.

She turned her head and pointed: [There, you can choose to open a cave.]

"Okay!" Feng Qianli flexed his wrist: "Leave it to me!"

Feng Qianli gathered his energy into his dantian and swung his sword towards the mountainside.

Bang bang bang!

Amidst the flying dust, the entrance to a cave appeared.

There is a large hollow area inside the mountain, so Feng Qianli doesn't need to drill a hole violently.

However, Lu Zhuo couldn't help but shake his head at Feng Qianli's rough and savage approach. "Old Feng! Stop wasting time. Detailed work isn't for you. Leave the remaining polishing of the cave's interior details to me."

Lu Zhuo raised his hand and dozens of flying swords flew out from his sleeves.

He flew into the cave entrance that Feng Qianli had just dug out, and suddenly, a series of "ping pong" sounds came from inside.

"There needs to be a lobby, and also dormitories for us... Hey, there's a natural hot spring over there, we could make a bath... We could dig a hole above it so the sun can shine in during the day, and use this as a place to relax..."

The commotion here attracted many monsters in the jungle.

In the darkness, countless eyes were staring at Rong Shu and the other four.

"You guys continue, I'll go kill two monsters for you to have as a barbecue snack tonight!" Feng Qianli, who had nothing to do, immediately picked up his heavy sword excitedly and rushed into the jungle.

Rong Shu swept his spiritual sense over.

They are all monsters with strength equivalent to that of Jindan stage cultivators, and Feng Qianli alone is enough to deal with them.

She didn't go over to help, and turned around to instruct Si Chenbi: "Chenbi, there are quite a lot of monsters around here. You should set up some formations, such as concealment formations, protection formations, automatic defense formations... to prevent the monsters from invading."

Rong Shu listed seven or eight formations in one breath.

Si Chenbi listened quietly, nodded, and began to make arrangements.

Rong Shu took out the Four Seasons Rotating Bead.

While clearing the surrounding gravel and weeds, the environment was carefully arranged.

Fortunately, with the Four Seasons Rotating Bead, Rong Shu didn't have to spend much effort. When the last ray of light in the sky dimmed, the scenery around the cave was arranged properly.

Si Chenbi's formation was also set up.

One of the formations responsible for lighting started to operate automatically, dispelling the darkness around and making it as bright as day.

After carefully polishing the interior of the cave, Lu Zhuo looked extremely satisfied. Suddenly, he noticed that the spiritual energy around him had become a bit richer, so he turned around to take a look.

He saw the Four Seasons Rotating Pearl suspended in mid-air, and his eyes were filled with surprise: "Rong Shu, where did you get this pearl? It's so convenient?"

Rong Shu complained: "It takes at least 10,000 spirit stones a year to keep it running. Do you think it's convenient?"

"That's not expensive, it's worth it."

"Wow...you big loser dog!"

Lu Zhuo, who put enjoyment above all else, didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Duan Yuyan was so jealous that he died.

He was worried that Rong Shu and the others might not be used to staying at the Jixia Academy on their first night, so he followed them here.

But he didn't expect... these guys were nothing for him to worry about.

Feng Qianli came over carrying a pile of monster corpses and placed them on the ground one by one. "Come, come, come... let me show you all my barbecue skills."

Lu Zhuo was a little skeptical: "Old Feng, are you okay? You won't get diarrhea after eating, right?"

Feng Qianli: "Don't underestimate me, I have been able to make fire and cook since I was a child. I cook for me and my master myself."

As the two of them discussed how to prepare delicious barbecue, Rong Shu asked Duan Yuyan with some concern, "Little Duan, can we hunt and feed the monsters in the inner mountains ourselves?"

Duan Yuyan: "Spiritual beasts are not acceptable. They might be kept by some teachers or students. Demonic beasts are not a big deal."

"These monsters that were released into the inner mountain were originally for the students to practice with. Just don't kill them all at once, and leave some for future generations."

Rong Shu casually threw out a cluster of fire.

He took out a full set of dining table and kitchen utensils from the storage bag and placed them on the open space.

Feng Qianli took out his two knives that were specially used for cutting animal meat and bones, and expertly drained blood, peeled skin, pulled out tendons, disassembled bones, and cut meat...

"This piece of meat is the most tender and suitable for roasting..."

"This big bone is great for making soup..."

"I was very careful when killing monsters, and didn't scratch the hide. This piece of hide is worth at least a few hundred spirit stones..."

Every part of the monster's body was clearly arranged by Feng Qianli.

Rong Shu, Si Chenbi, Lu Zhuo, and Duan Yuyan sat in a row, waiting for the "chef" Feng Qianli to serve the dishes.

While they waited, Lu Zhuo offered his treasured wine: "Come and try it, everyone. This is our Feijian Sect's specialty fruit wine. It's made with local Baizhen fruit, Qiyehong fruit... nine kinds of spiritual fruits. If you're practicing qigong and have a stitch in your side, drinking a glass will quickly help you regulate your breathing. You can also drink it as ordinary fruit wine on other days."

Rong Shu took a sip of fruit wine and lowered his head to fiddle with his student orders.

I don't know how he did it, but Rong Shu also found the list of the Dragon and Tiger List of all previous years.

Rong Shu placed the student order on the table, and the built-in projection formation was activated, projecting the list of the latest Millennium Dragon and Tiger List through the air.

Several people looked over at the same time——

【Millennium Dragon and Tiger List】

Chief, None

Second seat, Xuanheng

Third seat, Yun Shu

Fourth place, Lu Chi

Fifth seat, Dzi beads

The sixth seat, Earth Gang

...

"So, Senior Sister Yun Shu and the others...are all on the Millennium Dragon and Tiger List."

Feng Qianli placed the roasted monster meat on the table. He looked at the transparent list in the air with excitement, and couldn't help but bump his fists together. "Actually, when I think about it carefully, when Senior Sister Yun Shu and the others were fighting us, I didn't even see anyone use any magical skills."

At that time, Feng Qianli was always wary of Yun Su using some kind of magical power, but unfortunately, he never had the chance to witness it.

Rong Shu pondered, "Senior Brother Lu Chi, who never really took action from beginning to end, is also on the list, fourth place, higher than Senior Brother Di Gang and Senior Sister Tian Zhu."

Dzi is a puppeteer who can control armies of puppets.

It would be easy for Di Gang, a pure physical cultivator, to fall into the awkward situation of being outmatched by two fists when facing a puppeteer.

Unless Di Gang can take the initiative, bypass the protection of the numerous puppets, subdue Tianzhu himself, and end the battle early.

Lu Zhuo was still apprehensive. "Senior Brother Lu Chi should be a beastmaster, right? He has a flock of twenty or thirty spirit birds. If he had released them right away to attack us, it would have been really difficult to deal with them."

The spirit bird is a living creature, unlike a puppet, and it depends entirely on Tianzhu's undivided attention to control it.

Those spirit birds simply stirred up a gust of wind, and the freshmen were almost unable to withstand it.

I can’t imagine how powerful the true combat capabilities of those spirit birds are.

"Why is there no chief here? Isn't Senior Sister Jiuxiao the chief? Why isn't she here?" Lu Zhuo asked curiously.

Duan Yuyan explained: "Chief Jiuxiao and Senior Sister Yunshu are from different classes."

"After the last Millennium Dragon and Tiger Ranking was finalized, only Chief Jiuxiao remained at the Jixia Academy. The students were able to see her occasionally. The other five members of the Dragon and Tiger Ranking had long since left the Jixia Academy. There has been no news of them in recent years. Perhaps they went to some secret realm to train or go into seclusion."

This is how the world of immortal cultivation works.

The higher your realm, the more time you need to accumulate strength so that you can go further and break through yourself.

Therefore, the higher the level of cultivation a cultivator has, the less likely he is to walk around outside casually. Instead, he will choose to practice in seclusion, often for hundreds or even thousands of years... If a person does not appear for too long, rumors may occasionally spread that he has passed away.

Rong Shu thought of his senior brother Leng Mingjing, who indeed had not come down the mountain for hundreds of years.

Outsiders who are not in the know may not even know that the eldest disciple of Zhanming Mountain is Leng Mingjing, and may even mistakenly think it is Wu Hua.

Rong Shu: "Senior Brother Xuan Heng and Senior Sister Yun Shu are competing fiercely for the second spot."

"So far, Senior Brother Xuanheng has held the second spot three times, and Senior Sister Yunshu has held the second spot twice. In the battle for the Millennium Dragon and Tiger Ranking in half a year, if Senior Brother Xuanheng can win the second spot again, he will basically secure the position."

Yun Shu is a spear cultivator, and in a head-on battle, she may not be defeated by Xuan Heng.

Unfortunately, Xuan Heng was a fortune teller and he didn't give Yun Su any chance to confront him head-on.

If Yun Su cannot effectively restrain the fortune teller's supernatural methods, even if he has great abilities, he will have nowhere to use his strength.

We can get a glimpse of this from the information that Yun Shu was able to win the second place after competing in the first two battles.

At that time, both of them had just entered the state of transformation. Xuanheng's practice of divination must not have been too advanced. It would not be difficult for Yun Shu to defeat Xuanheng by crushing him with force.

"But cultivators like the Gua Master become more and more powerful as they age. They are truly terrifying..."

Lu Zhuo deeply agreed with this.

Duan Yuyan quietly showed off a few bites of roast pork before speaking vaguely:

"...Alright, alright, forget about the Dragon and Tiger Rankings. Senior Sister Yun Shu's Dragon and Tiger Rankings for this year will be finalized after three more battles."

"Calculating the time, apart from this one in half a year, there are only two more, one in a hundred years and one in two hundred years."

"Once Senior Sister Yun Shu's Dragon and Tiger Ranking is finalized, the next Millennium Dragon and Tiger Ranking will be held in the same year."

"By then, your bone ages will all be within 500 years, so you can all go and try."

Lu Zhuo opened his jade fan with a swish and suggested, "How about we make a pact and advance to the Spiritual Transformation Stage within two hundred years?"

The belligerent Feng Qianli was the first to agree: "That's right! I'll strive to be on the next Millennium Dragon and Tiger List!"

"If anyone doesn't make the list, I'll laugh at him for a hundred years!"

“Hahahaha, that’s right…”

Rong Shu looked at Duan Yuyan: "Little Duanzi, do you want to come too?"

Duan Yuyan pouted: "You really think highly of me?"

Rong Shu rolled his eyes: "Don't pretend! I don't believe you don't have any ambition? Don't want to be on the list?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Duan Yuyan lost his composure in a second and laughed, "I want to! Who wouldn't want to!"

"There's no other way. I can only sacrifice my life to accompany my friend~"

The five people raised their glasses.

Witnessed by the stars in the sky, beside the bonfire in the dusk, these young men, still in their prime and full of vigor, made a two-hundred-year agreement together.

They are still young.

They don't know their place.

They were most reckless when they were young.

They firmly believe that one day they will stand at the top, become a legend that will shock the whole world, and write a new epic chapter.
