Chapter 13 - Chasing

“I was actually passing by here.

I was looking for wild herbs in the mountains when I accidentally saw what looked like wild animal footprints on the ground, so I followed them.

I originally thought that if I could hunt a wild beast, I could exchange it for some silver.

When the time comes, I will take the silver and go to the town to see if I can become a disciple of a cultivation family."

Zhang Xiaoshan said this half-truthfully, hesitated for a moment, and said again:

If you don’t believe me, look here. This is the herb I found in the mountains.”

As he spoke, he took out two Polygonum multiflorum and a Ganoderma lucidum from his arms.

"Looking for herbs to exchange for money?"

"Joining the Immortal Cultivation Family?"

"Master, this guy is a cultivator at the early stage of the second level of Qi Refining. It seems that he really came to this mountain to look for wild herbs."

The young man and Zhang San looked at the herbs in Zhang Xiaoshan's hand and immediately felt a little relieved.

"How dare you, a kid at the second level of Qi Refining, go deep into the forest?

Is there any accomplice with you?"

At this time, Zhang San asked again.

"what?

Am I in the depths of the forest?

I thought I was still alone on the outskirts of the forest!"

Zhang Xiaoshan pretended to be surprised and said.

"Master, this kid is alone, so he is no threat to us."

Zhang San leaned close to the young man's ear and spoke in a low voice.

“Boy, the depths of this forest are very dangerous, you should know that.

If you leave the depths of the forest alone now, you will easily encounter low-level exotic beasts.

Although you have reached the early second level of Qi Refining, if I'm not mistaken, you should not be a match for low-level monsters, right?

If you encounter a low-level monster, you are likely to encounter an accident."

The young man nodded, his eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"What should I do?

What should I do if I encounter a low-level monster? "

Zhang Xiaoshan pretended to be nervous and said, looking at the boy and Zhang San again, "

You two, since you dare to walk in this deep mountain, you must be either powerful warriors or powerful monks.

When you leave this deep forest, can you take me with you?"

"Of course I can take you with me.

However, you have to give me the herbs in your hand first, so that I can fill my stomach, and then I can take you with me when I leave, how about that? "

The young man swallowed and said.

When he saw the Polygonum multiflorum in Zhang Xiaoshan's hand, his stomach couldn't help but growl.

Therefore, he wanted to trick the herbs from Zhang Xiaoshan's hand, swallow them, and replenish his strength.

"this…"

Zhang Xiaoshan had a hesitant expression, as if he was reluctant to part with the Polygonum multiflorum in his hand.

"It's just a few wild herbs. Why do you have such an expression?

I am a young master, I will not take your things for nothing."

Seeing this, the young man said a little impatiently.

He has an average appearance, a fair complexion, and is dressed in fancy clothes. One can tell at first glance that he is from a wealthy family.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the two and found that the aura they exuded was twice as strong as his. He thought to himself:

These two guys are most likely Qi Refining Level 3 cultivators. They didn't take the initiative to attack me or snatch my things, so they should keep their word."

After hesitating for a moment, he looked at the young man again and said, "

All right, you can take this Polygonum multiflorum and these herbs.”

Zhang San came over, took over several herbs including Polygonum multiflorum, and started to make a fire, intending to roast them and eat them.

“These two guys are really rude, they roasted things to eat like me.

Now they have eaten the roasted Polygonum multiflorum and seem to have recovered their strength. Should I ask the young master to pay me now?"

Zhang Xiaoshan watched the two of them from the side, thinking in his heart.

He really wanted to speak up and ask the young man directly whether he had the complete Qingfeng Jue, but he did not speak. After all, if he spoke up, it would easily expose his purpose.

"Okay, let's continue on our way."

The young master swallowed the last bite of food, felt his strength restored, stood up, looked at Zhang San beside him and said:

Let's go and continue to hunt down the severely injured green tiger."

After hesitating for a moment, the young man looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and said, "

Boy, are you going to wait here for us to return, or are you going to follow us to hunt down a severely injured beast?"

"Master, he is just a kid at the early stage of the second level of Qi Refining. Will he be a hindrance if he follows us?"

Zhang San said.

"Don't worry, I won't get in your way."

Zhang Xiaoshan said quickly.

His original intention was not to follow them out of the depths of the forest, but to obtain the complete Qingfeng Jue from this young man.

But I don’t know how to start.

Now that the two were leaving, he naturally had to follow them. Otherwise, if they left, he would be at a great loss, as those herbs were worth a lot of silver.

……

"Finally caught up with the injured green tiger."

After a long chase, the three of them passed through seven or eight mountains. The young man walking in front suddenly stopped and waved his hand to signal Zhang San and Zhang Xiaoshan behind him to keep quiet.

At the same time, the young man turned his head and said softly:

Keep your voice down. "

Zhang Xiaoshan quickly held his breath, fixed his eyes and looked forward.

More than five hundred feet ahead, there was a lush forest. The environment was quiet and the trees were shady. The sunlight shone through the leaves, casting mottled spots of light.

The air is filled with fresh scent and gentle breeze, giving people a sense of nature's tranquility.

Among them, under a huge towering ancient tree, a seriously injured green tiger was lying there, twisting its neck, slightly opening its mouth, sticking out its tongue, and licking the multiple wounds on its body.

"Master, shall we take action now?"

Zhang San looked at the green-spotted tiger monkey in front of him, his eyes flashing with nervousness, and lowered his voice to ask the boy for instructions.

The boy nodded and responded in a low voice: "

Take action. "

Zhang Xiaoshan quickly whispered:

Young Master Wang, should I also lend a hand?"

Wang Shao frowned slightly, and Zhang San beside him responded in a low voice: "

You are currently only at the early stage of the second level of Qi Refining. You are OK against ordinary beasts, but facing this king among low-level beasts, I am afraid it will be difficult to contend. Don't act rashly."

Zhang Xiaoshan's face darkened when he heard this, and he muttered in a low voice: "

Then you can act on your own.”

A sting!

Wang Shao gestured quickly with his hands in front of his chest and muttered something.

In an instant, a green light appeared on the fingertips and turned into a sharp blade, shooting towards the injured green tiger under the tree.

Wang Shao turned around and shouted to Zhang San:

Do it! "

"understand!"

Zhang San took a step forward without hesitation and quickly approached the green tiger. At the same time, a spell was condensed in his hand.

"Master, I will wrap it with the green ivy tree, and you wait for the opportunity to attack."

"Zhang San, you'd better use the Green Ivy Technique to entangle its four legs."

"understand!"

Zhang San responded.

Then, the two of them chanted spells and rushed towards the green tiger quickly.

Zhang Xiaoshan watched from the woods in the distance and did not participate in the battle.

From the very beginning, Wang Shao and Zhang San did not expect Zhang Xiaoshan to be able to help. They thought that Zhang Xiaoshan was just a kid in the early second level of Qi Refining and had no real strength.
