Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Chapter 3 Bonfire Dinner

"Thirty-two gerbils, worth sixteen contribution points."

The steward of the Qin family glanced at the wooden box, took out a wooden slip spilled with sandalwood, and carved the number sixteen on the back.

"take it."

The steward threw the wooden slip to Jiang Qiong, turned over and closed his eyes to take a nap.

"Only contribute points to Shiliu, the Qin family is really evil."

"Buy it from casual cultivators at a low price, and then sell it from Oasis Square Market at a high price."

Jiang Qiong took the wooden slip and couldn't help but curse in her heart.

In Bixia Oasis, the market price of a hundred gerbils is one spiritual stone.

A piece of spiritual stone can be exchanged for one hundred contribution points of the Qin family, or one hundred spiritual crystals.

In other words, Jiang Qiong gave the gerbil to the Qin family and got half the market price.

This is what I think in my heart, but my true emotions cannot be expressed naturally.

"Thank you, steward."

Jiang Qiong expressed her gratitude, then turned to look at the wooden slip and looked up and down.

The numbers on the wooden slip are light blue, like flowing water, and there is the totem mark of the Qin family on the front.

Within the Qin family's sphere of influence, these wooden slips stamped with totem marks can be used as currency.

Jiang Qiong stuffed the wooden slips into her sleeve pocket, picked up the empty wooden box, and turned around to leave.

He returned to his tent along the sand path of the camp.

The space inside is relatively small, with only one futon, and you can only sit cross-legged on it on weekdays.

"A humble place to live."

Jiang Qiong sighed, put the wooden box next to him, turned around and sat on the futon, and took out everything in his sleeve pockets.

There were two wooden slips from the Qin family, more than twenty spiritual crystals, and half a bottle of Qi-nourishing pills.

These items are the entire property of the original owner.

"This property makes the cultivators cry when they see it."

"Too poor."

Jiang Qiong shook his head with a wry smile, but he also knew the reason for the lack of money.

The main reason is that the original owner has no habit of saving.

As long as you save a certain amount of contribution points or spiritual stones, you will use them to purchase training resources and practice hard.

Therefore, the wallet is relatively empty.

"The two Qin family wooden slips add up to a total of thirty-one contribution points. Even if we count twenty spiritual crystals, we can't exchange for one spiritual stone."

Jiang Qiong couldn't help but laugh at herself.

I am afraid that my wealth will be exposed to bandit cultivators.

No one bothered to pay attention.

Smiling and shaking her head, Jiang Qiong put all the items in front of her back into her sleeve pockets.

"Brother Qiong, are you there?"

“It’s time for the bonfire!”

Suddenly, congratulatory voices sounded outside the tent.

"I'm coming!"

Jiang Qiong stood up and walked out, and saw the burly congratulatory man standing at the door.

I looked up at the sky again, and there were still gorgeous sunsets, but it was not yet dark.

"Why is the bonfire dinner so early today?"

Jiang Qiong remembered that the bonfire feast was usually quite late on weekdays, and her tone couldn't help but sound doubtful.

He Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."

"I only know that there will be delicious roasted whole lamb later. It is said that it is the blood-stained lamb that the leader just killed."

Speaking of this, He Yan wiped the corners of his mouth, looking like he was drooling.

In the camp set up by the monks of the Qin family, a bonfire dinner is held every night. To put it bluntly, it is a dinner party.

The dishes at the dinner are basically monster beasts, and the meat contains spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to cultivation.

This is also one of the benefits that casual cultivators can enjoy by joining the Qin family hunting team.

"Oh? The Qin family took out the bloody goat?"

Jiang Qiong's eyes flashed with surprise.

In the memory of the original owner, the Bloody Sideburned Sheep was a first-order low-grade monster, and the flesh and blood in its body was of relatively high value.

On the market of Bixia Oasis, a bloody goat can be sold for a high price of more than ten pieces of spiritual stones.

Normally, the Qin family would only entertain everyone with such a valuable demon sheep before hunting a lot, having direct descendants break through the realm, or hunting large demon beasts.

"What will happen this time?"

Jiang Qiong turned her eyes slightly and walked to the center of the Qin family camp.

At this moment, there were several campfire racks placed in the open space, on which the fragrant demon sheep was roasting.

"It smells good."

Jiang Qiong took a whiff, and the overflowing aroma whetted his appetite.

He found a seat to sit down with the congratulations, glanced at the monks beside him, and frowned subconsciously.

The monks around the bonfire had different expressions. They were either depressed, frowning, gloating, or solemn. The atmosphere was relatively silent.

"It's strange. The Qin family brought out the bloody goat. Why is everyone not in high spirits?"

Jiang Qiong noticed this, stood up, walked to a middle-aged man with a broken arm, and asked:

"Uncle Hai, why is everyone so silent?" "What happened?"

The middle-aged man in front of him, named Wei Hai, is a fellow villager of "Jiang Qiong" and a casual cultivator recruited by the Qin family. The two have a good relationship and are relatively familiar with each other, and they often do transactions on weekdays.

Wei Hai was silent for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, on the way back to the camp at dusk, the leader saw a middle-grade blue-eyed viper roaming the desert."

"After discussion, the leader intends to take some monks who are above the third level of the Qi Realm to surround and kill this monster at night."

"This"

Jiang Qiong fell into a brief silence after hearing this, and couldn't help but think of the two monsters he saw at dusk.

Among them, the giant demonic snake with green lines all over its body is the demonic green-eyed viper.

The green-eyed viper is full of treasures, whether it is snake skin, snake gallbladder, snake teeth, snake bones, and snake meat, they are all sought-after goods in the market.

It's just that it has a ferocious temperament, and the toxins in its body can turn Qi-training monks into a pool of blood in a short time. It is also good at earth escape and is very difficult to hunt.

In the past, the Qin family had encountered a first-level mid-level blue-eyed viper. The hunting process came at a certain price, and several casual cultivators were accidentally killed.

"No wonder some monks are not very interested. The process of hunting blue-eyed vipers is very dangerous and there is no room for carelessness."

"According to the usual situation, this trip will probably cost several monks."

Jiang Qiong glanced at the monks around him, not knowing whose body would be buried in the desert at night.

But these have nothing to do with him.

The leader chose a monk who was above the third level of Qi training realm, and he was only at the first level of Qi training realm.

It won't be selected at all.

This is not because the Qin family is kind-hearted and intends to take care of low-level monks, but because they are hunting monsters in the middle of the night and the journey is dangerous.

If you rashly bring along low-level monks, your journey will be slow. If you encounter danger along the way, it will easily cause chaos.

If you accidentally hit the sand and startle the snake, your trip will be in vain.

Fortunately, instead of hunting blue-eyed vipers at night, he had to hunt large monsters during the day. Jiang Qiong estimated that the Qin family would send all the casual cultivators to hunt down the prey without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in her heart.

My current level is very low, and I only master one technique, so my ability to save my life is very weak.

Now we urgently need to improve our own strength!

Otherwise, if the Qin family were sent to kill large monsters during the day on a whim or if they were unlucky, they would probably lose their lives very easily.

"Uncle Hai, do you still have the bait to catch gerbils?"

Jiang Qiong gathered her thoughts and asked with a smile.

Catching gerbils in the desert is a very common phenomenon.

There are specialized monks who are keen on making bait and catching gerbils through ancestral secrets or self-developed secrets.

The Wei Hai in front of him is one of them.

"I still have twenty baits in my hand. If you want them, just give me eight spiritual crystals as usual."

Wei Hai took out a brocade bag from his pocket and offered a relatively fair price.

One spiritual crystal here in the Qin family is equal to one contribution point.

Hearing this, Jiang Qiong took out the spiritual crystal from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Wei Hai, then took the brocade bag filled with bait.

While the two were trading, the mutton was roasted on the campfire, and the aroma filled the air.

The chef of the Qin family took a knife and divided the mutton into pieces and piled them on the plate.

"Here you go, roasted mutton with bloody temples."

"Be careful!"

Jiang Qiong took the plate from the spiritual chef. Five pieces of fragrant meat were piled on it, each piece about the size of a fist.

He ate one piece, and warm currents grew in his body, flowing along his meridians, nourishing his energy and blood, and making his body warm.

"Comfortable--"

A quarter of an hour passed.

Jiang Qiong ate all five pieces of mutton. Warmth flow gathered in her Dantian, and the spiritual energy in her body increased slightly.

The congratulations next to him also had a face full of enjoyment. He put his oily fingers in his mouth and sucked on it, still not satisfied.

"It feels so good to eat. I wish I could eat first-order monster meat every night."

He Yan said with longing.

"You are quite thoughtful."

Jiang Qiong said with a smile: "You work harder and kill more than ten first-order monsters every day. You can eat whatever you want."

"Harm, brother Qiong, please don't make fun of me."

He Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "With my strength, I can only bully the little monsters who are not yet in the mainstream."

Jiang Qiong smiled and said no more. She looked at the campfire stand, where only the sheep bones were left.

The monks around had all finished eating the demon mutton early, chatting in low voices, or practicing with their eyes closed.

In the middle of the crowd, sat a young man with red hair, a high nose, bright eyes, and a white jade pendant hanging around his waist.

"It seems that everyone has almost eaten."

"Take a rest and set out to hunt the blue-eyed viper."

The young man stood up and spoke softly.

He is a direct descendant of the Qin family, his name is Qin Sheng, he is at the seventh level of Qi training, and he is also the leader of the hunting team.

On the surface, it looks quite warm.
