Transmigration begins with archery training

"

Before long, he tossed over a storage bag containing everything needed for the climb up the mountain. He then added, "No matter if the captured spirit beasts are dead or alive, you are not allowed to trade them outside. You must sell them all to the sect, and the sect will give you spirit stones or merit points at the average market price."

"If you are found to be doing business with outsiders in private, there will be penalties, remember that?"

"Junior understands."

Chen Sanshi put away his storage bag and, as he passed the "mission wall," noticed that many people were paying attention to the missions related to the Demon-Slaying Great Wall.

"The rewards for going to participate in the battle have increased again!"

“Foundation Establishment disciples will receive free cultivation-enhancing pills every month!”

"If one makes a significant contribution, one may even receive a spiritual treasure that helps one achieve the Core Formation stage."

"This is nothing. Look at this. If someone can do this, the Supreme Elder is willing to take them as a disciple!"

"..."

Like other sects, the Supreme Elder of the Qingxu Sect rarely shows his face on ordinary days, and most of the affairs, big and small, are managed by the sect leader.

However, this Supreme Elder has one very special characteristic: he is of a low generation.

In terms of seniority, even the current Supreme Elder would have to address the Sect Master as Senior Uncle.

However, the so-called Supreme Elder mainly has the power to mobilize all the resources of the sect, and it is often held by the most capable person, not necessarily by seniority.

Compared to this, perhaps because of his military background, Chen Sanshi subconsciously wanted to pay more attention to the war.

"The Supreme Elder hasn't taken on a single disciple yet, has he?"

"If only I could become a disciple of the Supreme Elder..."

"Forget it, I've finally reached the Foundation Establishment stage. I'm still young, and I don't want to go and die."

"What's the use of not wanting to? I heard that the ancient demon race has also joined the war. If the situation is unfavorable in two years, they might force disciples from all sects in the cultivation world to participate!"

"The ancient demons have joined the war? What good is that? The powerful figures and righteous cultivators on our border are no weaker than them."

"What do you know? The ancient demons have acquired a wicked technique that allows mortals to participate in battle!"

"Mortals participating in the war? Don't be ridiculous, what use are mortals in the war?"

"I don't know the specifics, but it's definitely true!"

"..."

Listening to the cacophony of voices, Chen Sanshi fell into deep thought.

Ordinary people joining the war?

How effective can the demonic path be in involving mortals in war?

This should have been a topic that cultivators found incomprehensible, but it was actually quite familiar to Chen Sanshi.

Because he can do it by relying on the Mysterious Pearl.

Did the ancient demons also find similar methods?

Although both "ancient demons" and "demonic paths" are called "demons," they are actually two completely different things.

Ancient demons are descended from ancient times, and they are born only capable of cultivating demonic arts.

Demonic cultivators are often righteous cultivators who have gone astray because of their greed for power or longevity.

The two can be considered allies.

This great war in the cultivation world is likely to be a truly earth-shattering conflict.

Chen Sanshi increasingly felt that Dongsheng Shenzhou was the only pure land and should never be mixed up with the cultivation world.

"May I ask if this fellow Daoist is none other than Junior Brother Lu Shengzhi?"

A questioning voice interrupted Chen Sanshi's thoughts.

He turned around and saw several Qingxu Sect disciples dressed in black Taoist robes.

The leader looked to be only in his early twenties. Although he was wearing a Taoist robe, the jade hairpin in his hair crown, the jade pendant at his waist, and the folding fan in his hand all exuded an air of otherworldly nobility, making him stand out from the crowd.

"Oh, let me introduce myself."

The man bowed and said, "I am Xue Xianrong from 'Liuyun Peak,' and I should be considered your senior brother."

Liuyun Peak?

If Chen Sanshi remembered correctly, the elders of Liuyun Peak were surnamed Xue. In addition, based on the expressions and attitudes of the disciples around him after the man appeared, he had a vague guess about the man's identity.

"So it's Senior Brother Xue."

Out of courtesy, Chen Sanshi clasped his hands and said, "Junior brother greets senior brother. I wonder if Senior Brother Xue has summoned me for any purpose?"

"Junior brother, you're being too formal with your words."

Xue Xianrong said in an approachable manner, "I just saw you collect the hunting tools from the Hall of Affairs, so I guessed that you were going to hunt in Obsidian Mountain."

"Perfect timing! We were just planning a trip to Obsidian, so we're thinking of bringing Junior Brother Lu along. What do you say?"

"Yes."

One of the disciples who stayed behind with the bearded man said, "Senior Brother Xue was worried that something might happen to you on your first trip to Obsidian Mountain since you've only recently joined the sect, so he specifically asked you to come with us."

Someone else added.

"Oh, don't worry, no one's after your prey."

"If needed, your senior brothers will lend a hand!"

"..."

"Thank you for your kind offer, fellow disciples."

Chen Sanshi politely declined, saying, "However, I only intend to go to the outer perimeter of Obsidian Mountain to take a look, so I won't delay your hunting."

He was reluctant to go hunting in the mountains with others.

There was a precedent in Beiyang Road where someone surnamed Lu had acted, and he couldn't perform his duties properly when a stranger was with him.

And there's an even more important point.

Chen Sanshi didn't think these people were really that kind. They had no personal relationship at all, and they were only willing to delay their own schedule to accompany their junior brother because they were from the same sect.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was simply out of kindness.

However, given Chen Sanshi's special status, it's best for him to keep his distance from the others in the sect.

Therefore, while politely declining, he also spoke courteously, trying his best not to antagonize these people.

"Junior brother?"

"Junior Brother Lu?"

Even so, some people were still angry.

"Junior Brother Lu, we were clearly trying to be kind, why are you so ungrateful?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi quickened his pace and left Feilai Peak. After walking all the way to the entrance of Qingxu Sect, a flying sword appeared beneath his feet and he soared into the sky.

As he flew on his sword, he took out the robe he had received and put it on.

It's a second-tier robe, after all, which can prevent poisonous miasma and resist some spells and attacks, so it can't be wasted.

The most crucial other item was the map.

Obsidian Mountain belongs to the Beast Mountain Range and is divided into the First Mountain, the Second Mountain, and the Deep Mountain.

The first mountain is mostly inhabited by spirit beasts of the first realm, the second mountain is mostly inhabited by spirit beasts of the second realm, and further on, third and fourth-tier spirit beasts will appear, which are beyond the reach of most disciples.

Furthermore, since there are many sects in Huayang Dao, it is very likely that we will encounter disciples from other sects in Obsidian Mountain, and there is also the possibility of encountering demons hiding there. Demon cultivators are unpredictable and treacherous, so we have been instructed to be extremely careful and take precautions.

After memorizing the map, Chen Sanshi began to select his desired target based on the contents of the "Compendium of Ten Thousand Beasts".

It just so happens that my bow and arrows are gradually becoming outdated, so I can change the bowstring first and then find a better replacement after I reach the Golden Core stage.

In Obsidian Mountain, the spirit beasts suitable for making bowstrings include...

"Ok?"

Chen Sanshi frowned slightly as he noticed someone following him in the clouds.
