Dahu reached the sixth level of Qi Refining almost a year ago, but he was unlucky and missed the demon hunting ceremony by a few days. He could not become a demon hunter, so he could not go up the mountain to hunt demons.

Shuanghu and Xiaohu have similar qualifications. Although they are playful, they usually practice hard, so within a year, they have successively broken through and reached the sixth level of Qi refining.

The demon hunting ceremony was held in front of the ancestral hall. The Dahu trio and some other monks who had just reached the sixth level of Qi Refining participated in the demon hunting ceremony under the auspices of some respected elders.

The demon hunting ceremony is relatively complicated. First, you have to burn incense and worship the heaven and the earth. Then you burn the blood, cut your palm with a knife, drop the blood into the wine, and raise a cup together to drink.

The elder said something, but Mo Hua was far away, so he couldn't hear it very clearly, but only a general outline.

This means that although we are both monster hunters, we are not related by blood, but we have a blood-based covenant. We drink this wine together and support each other. The blood flows together and we have the same strength.

Monsters are many times stronger than monks. If we don't work together, we will not be able to survive as a monster hunter. We will easily lose our lives and become prey for monsters.

After the bloodshed, the newly promoted monster hunters will be issued monster hunting orders by the elders.

The Demon Hunting Order is said to be made from the bones of special monsters. It is only the size of a baby's fist and is pale white in color.

Every monk who becomes a monster hunter will be assigned a monster hunting order. Every time a monster is killed, there will be a trace of bloody cracks on the monster hunting order. The more monsters are hunted, the more obvious the cracks will be.

The cracked monster hunting order can be regarded as the meritorious service of the monster hunter.

Each of Dahu and the three men got a demon hunting order, dripped it with blood, and hung it around their necks.

The blood-soaked demon hunting order will accompany the demon hunter throughout his life. Some demon hunters even cherish the demon hunting order as dear as their lives. Even if they lose their lives, they are not willing to lose the demon hunting order. If they lose the demon hunting order, they will lose it. It is equivalent to losing the past and achievements of monster hunting, and it is also equivalent to losing the life of a monster hunter.

After the blood is shed and the demon hunting orders are distributed, the demon hunting ceremony is over.

Dahu and the other three looked nervous throughout the whole process, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

They wore new Taoist robes and rattan armor, and held brand-new simple knives in their hands.

The Taoist robe is made of ordinary clothing materials, which is cheap but still strong. The rattan armor and the simple sword are spiritual weapons. The rattan armor can protect the heart and the simple sword is used to hunt monsters. It is the most common among monster hunters. It’s a spiritual weapon.

Uncle Meng was not rich to begin with, and he basically spent all his savings to buy a complete set for the three of them. From now on, they will rely on these spiritual weapons to support themselves.

Mo Hua and Dahu walked around the street, but seeing that they were a little uninterested, they worriedly said:

"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Several people came to a small stone bridge and sat on the edge of the bridge across the guardrail, watching the gurgling water blending with the lights in the distance.

Shuanghu said: "I saw my mother crying secretly last night."

Xiaohu said: "I saw it too. I guess she feels sorry for the spirit stones. She has used up all the spirit stones at home, but she saved them bit by bit."

"Not only that, but I also borrowed some. I saw my dad borrowed them from the uncles of the demon hunting team, including Uncle Mo." Dahu said, and then asked Mo Hua: "Your family is not in a hurry to use spiritual stones."

"Don't worry, we still have a restaurant at home, so we won't be short of it for the time being." Mo Hua comforted.

"That's good." Dahu breathed a sigh of relief, but the three of them were still listless.

They were just children a day ago, and after the Demon Hunting Ceremony, they would begin to endure the hardships of monk life. There were some things that they had not experienced deeply before, but now that the responsibility fell on their shoulders, they realized that life was not easy.

"You don't have to be so depressed. This is actually a good thing." Mo Hua said.

Dahu and the three of them all looked at Mo Hua.

"Before, only Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng could earn spiritual stones, and you could only spend them. Now that you are monster hunters, you can hunt monsters and earn spiritual stones. Aunt Meng's burden will be lighter, and you will be able to spend your spiritual stones in the future."

It will be better. When you pay off your debts and earn more spiritual stones, Aunt Meng can buy a lot of good things to eat," Mo Hua said.

The three people's eyes lit up.

Shuanghu scratched his head and said: "But, can we earn spiritual stones? I heard from my father that most novice demon hunters can only watch and learn, and they won't get any spiritual stones."

"Aren't you quite good at fighting?"

"yes."

"You should think of hunting monsters as fighting. You used to fight people, but now you fight monsters."

"But... there is a difference between hunting monsters and fighting, right?" Xiaohu hesitated.

"Then follow the uncles in the demon hunting team and learn more. Nothing is achieved overnight. The faster you learn, the sooner you can help, the sooner you can get the spiritual stones. In this way, Uncle Meng and Meng

The aunt will be happy."

Mo Hua felt relieved, and the three children cheered up.

"However," Dahu said hesitantly, "if we go hunting monsters, we won't be able to come and play with you often."

"And I probably won't be able to play with you anymore..." Xiaohu also said silently.

After saying this, the three of them looked disappointed again.

"It's okay. In a year or two, maybe I will have reached the sixth stage of Qi refining. By then I will also become a demon hunter and I can go up the mountain with you." Mo Hua said.

"Yes, yes!" Xiaohu said happily.

"What's right?" Shuanghu gave Xiaohu a roll of his eyes, and then looked at Mo Hua with a little worry, "You are not in good health, and you are not a physical practitioner. Being a demon hunter is very dangerous, and Uncle Mo will not agree to it.

Yes. You should be a formation master. You have a high status, earn a lot of spiritual stones, and don’t have to fight and kill."

Dahu nodded quickly, "It's good to be a formation master!"

Xiaohu also echoed, "Well, it's good to be a formation master!"

"Okay, then I will consider becoming a formation master first. If there is another opportunity, or if I can do physical training, I will consider becoming a demon hunter." Mo Hua said.

But after thinking about it, he realized that he really didn't have the talent to be a monster hunter. He was physically weak, and he learned techniques that focused on spiritual power. If he really became a monster hunter, a monster could get close to him and bite a few people at will.

Next time, there will probably be no more people...

Mo Hua felt a little regretful. He still yearned for a body-training cultivator who punched to the flesh and opened and closed every move. He was brave and unrestrained.

It's a pity that I was born frail and didn't have this chance.

Mo Hua patted his pocket and said, "Today I treat you to Liu Ji's sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the street, as a way of putting it into practice for you."

As soon as they heard that there was food, the three of them perked up.

"But it's not good that it's you who invites me all the time." Shuanghu said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. When you become a famous monster hunter, kill a lot of monsters, and earn a lot of spiritual stones, treat me to delicious food!"

When the three of them heard this, they suddenly felt heroic, and they all nodded and said, "Okay!"

The worries just now were swept away, and the group of people walked towards the pastry shop boldly.

After eating the pastries, it was getting late, so we had to go home.

Before leaving, Dahu told Mo Hua: "Be careful when we go up the mountain. If someone bullies you, you must tell us and we will come back to help you fight."

Mo Hua was moved and said with a smile: "Okay, it's settled!"
