Chapter 97: Hunting Ground

Unless Xu Feng received the inheritance from a powerful immortal master, it would be impossible for him to create such intricate talismans at such a young age. Those who could bestow such an inheritance were undoubtedly great beings, known as immortal masters. How easy was it to encounter such a person? At the very least, Liu Qianru, with her family background, had never met one.

Liu Qianru stared straight at Xu Feng. If Xu Feng really had the inheritance from an immortal master, his value would be infinitely increased. Of course, Liu Qianru did not know that she was far underestimating the value of the Dao Xuan Jing. The value of these Dao techniques was far beyond what the immortal masters of this world could compare to. If the immortal masters saw these Dao techniques, they would also flock to them.

An immortal master was an existence beyond the tenth level of the heavens! They could easily kill beings at the Spirit Realm with a wave of their hand! Among the Xuan practitioners, only those who surpassed the tenth level and reached the Essence Soul Realm could compare! This was enough to imagine how powerful these Dao techniques were!

"What immortal master? I cultivated them myself!" Xu Feng shrugged and said.

This sentence made Liu Qianru pause, then she looked at Xu Feng with disdain. Cultivated by yourself? Do you think Dao techniques are as simple as drinking water? Especially such complex talisman techniques.

Xu Feng shrugged helplessly. He always told the truth, but they never believed him.

"Who cares how you cultivated them! I just want to know if you can mass-produce talismans?" Zhou Yang looked at Xu Feng with bright eyes. This look made Xu Feng have some unpleasant associations, thinking that Zhou Yang might be a man of questionable tastes.

"As long as my spirit energy doesn't run out, I can keep producing them!" Xu Feng thought for a moment, "I can probably produce about one or two hundred a day."

Xu Feng was being very cautious. Although producing these talismans consumed spirit energy, it didn't hurt him too much. As long as he didn't produce high-grade talismans, such as those that could threaten the Spirit Realm, the consumption of spirit energy was within his tolerance. After all, the Dao Xuan Jing combined with the recovery effect of the Purple Lightning was quite astonishing.

"What? One or two hundred?" Zhou Yang's eyes widened, looking at Xu Feng as if he were a monster. They had never heard of anyone who could mass-produce talismans like this. Could his spirit energy be so abundant and strong?

"About that! Maybe more, I'm not sure! I haven't tried it, and I don't dare to say more." Xu Feng said lightly.

Zhou Yang felt a bit dizzy. It could be even more. Did he really think these talismans were trash? Could he produce them so easily?

"But! I don't have the materials, so it's useless even if I know how to make them..."

Before Xu Feng could finish, Zhou Yang and the others interrupted him, "We have them! Damn, with your skills, do you still worry about materials? Just shout, and countless major families will send them to you."

"I'll buy this inn right away. This will be your talisman room! In the future, just ask us four families for materials. Qianru, your Liu family has collected a lot of talisman materials, right? Can you donate some?"

Liu Qianru shook her head, "You can get the materials for ordinary talismans. The Liu family is far from Hecheng, so it's more difficult for me! As for higher-grade materials, he doesn't need them yet. When he has the strength to use them, we'll talk about it!"

"You have higher-grade materials?" Xu Feng looked at Liu Qianru, his eyes shining.

Liu Qianru didn't ignore Xu Feng this time. She glanced at him lightly, "The Liu family has been studying medical Dao techniques for generations, a family of Daoists, so we naturally have some things others don't. However, with your current strength at the Spirit Realm, it would be a waste to get them."

Xu Feng didn't argue with Liu Qianru. As she said, although higher-grade materials could produce greater power, Xu Feng couldn't fill them with enough spirit energy, which would only be a waste.

Thinking about some talismans that had appeared and then disappeared in his mind, wasn't it because his strength wasn't enough?

"Looks like I still need to work hard to improve my strength!"

"Xu Feng! We won't take advantage of you. Everyone knows how precious talismans are. I'll provide the materials, and you can decide how many talismans to give us. Any ratio is up to you, how about that?" Zhou Yang said.

Xu Feng nodded, "Then let's decide that. But before that, I want to find out about the Li family of Li Hexuan!"

Zhou Yang was slightly taken aback, then he remembered that Xu Feng and Li Hexuan had a grudge. Zhou Yang thought for a moment and said, "The Li family is a major family in Hecheng, though not as powerful as our Zhou family. However, they are deeply rooted in Hecheng. There are many strong people in the family. Although your strength is still quite good, if the Li family really wants to deal with you, they can kill you with a wave of their hand. But you don't need to worry, the Li family won't send such strong people to deal with you just for some teenage disputes."

Xu Feng frowned slightly, thinking that he had been sitting in a well and looking at the sky. A single Li family could easily kill him, so what kind of dragon's den and tiger's lair was this Hecheng? Especially with Li Hexuan's character, it was hard to say that he wouldn't ask the family's experts to deal with him. Thinking of this, Xu Feng felt a sense of crisis.

While Xu Feng was thinking, Zhou Yang said, "But you need to be careful about the group on the Red List at the academy. Some of them are very close to Li Hexuan. Those on the Red List must reach the Spirit Realm to enter the list! Each of them is very powerful, and Li Hexuan is likely to find them to deal with you."

"Red List?!" Xu Feng was stunned.

"The academy has several lists: the Red List, the Black List, the Purple List, and the most mysterious Dark List. Those who can make it to the list are all at the Spirit Realm. Among them are some very powerful geniuses. Although your strength can now enter the list, you are only at the bottom. So, be careful!" Zhou Yang said solemnly.

Xu Feng also sensed Zhou Yang's seriousness and nodded, "I will be careful!"

Liu Qianru suddenly said, "The Red List and the Black List, you can offend them. At least you can still enter the bottom of the list. But don't provoke the Purple List. Those who can enter the Purple List must be at the fifth level of the heavens. Your strength is just asking for death! Of course, if you provoke the Purple List, you can still run away! But there is one list you can't escape from. That's the Dark List. The Dark List is mainly about assassination, and each member is extremely powerful. They won't stop until they achieve their goal. No one knows who the members of the Dark List are, which makes the Dark List even more threatening. A member of the Purple List at the seventh level of the heavens, who offended the Dark List, was still assassinated by the Dark List after fleeing a thousand miles away. The Dark List has the fewest members but is the most feared list at the academy."

Xu Feng was shocked, never expecting these lists to be so terrifying. Xu Feng took a deep breath, looked at Liu Qianru, who had turned her head back to the window and ignored him again, and smiled slightly, "I'm just a servant, how could I provoke them."

Zhou Yang and the others sneered, thinking that this servant was more arrogant than they were.

"Xu brother! Besides seeing you, I have another thing to ask if you are interested." Zhou Yang looked at Xu Feng with narrowed eyes.

"What?" Xu Feng looked at Zhou Yang in confusion.

"In a while, the academy's hunting ground will be open. The hunting ground, besides being able to hunt spirit beasts, is most important for the various items left by the academy's predecessors and teachers, whether they are pills, Xuan techniques, or Dao techniques. There is a saying at the academy: if you are chased by a spirit beast in the hunting ground, don't panic. You might turn around and enter a predecessor's cave, and the things you get could last you a lifetime." Zhou Yang smiled, "And there is reliable information that this time the hunting ground will have a spatial treasure."

"Spatial treasure?" Xu Feng's eyes widened. Even with his limited knowledge, he knew how precious a spatial treasure was. Its appearance was enough to make those at the Spirit Realm fight to the death. A spatial treasure was rare and hard to come by!

"Hehe! Are you interested?" Zhou Yang tempted.

Seeing Zhou Yang's attitude, Xu Feng reacted, "What if I'm interested? Can we get it? With the preciousness of a spatial treasure, it will attract powerful people from several lists. Plus, I'm not a student at the academy, so it's hard for me to enter."

Zhou Yang said, "I have a way to get you in. Don't worry about that. As for the people from the lists, not all of them have the authority to enter. This hunting ground is open to junior and intermediate students. Those from the advanced classes can't easily violate the academy's rules to enter. So, although there are people at the Spirit Realm entering, with your strength at the second level of the heavens, it's not impossible to try."

This made Xu Feng nod and look at Zhou Yang, "Do you really have a way to get me in?"

Wang Lu smiled, "You underestimate our Young Master Zhou's influence. Although he's not as powerful as the major lists, his word is more effective than the important figures on those lists. Bringing you in is no problem!"

"Damn!" Xu Feng muttered, thinking of Zhou Yang's background as a second-generation official. If the academy could be swayed by Zhou Yang's face, his father must have a significant position in Hecheng.

"Tell me, what's your real motive for luring me in?" Xu Feng didn't believe these people brought this news just for him.

"Hehe! You'll know when the time comes." Zhou Yang laughed.

Seeing that Zhou Yang wouldn't say, Xu Feng gave up asking. The temptation of a spatial treasure was enough to make him try to enter the hunting ground.

"When?"

"In two days! In these two days, please help us produce some talismans for protection. As for the materials, Wang Lu will provide them for you." Zhou Yang said.

"Okay! Let's do it that way!"
