Chapter 78 Monster Hunting Ceremony

Dahu had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining almost a year ago, but he was unlucky and missed the Monster Hunting Ceremony by a few days. He could not become a monster hunter and could not go up the mountain to hunt monsters.

Shuanghu and Xiaohu had similar qualifications. Although they were playful, they practiced hard, so they broke through one after another and reached the sixth level of Qi Refining within a year.

The Monster Hunting Ceremony was held in front of the ancestral hall. Dahu and other three and some other cultivators who had just reached the sixth level of Qi Refining participated in the Monster Hunting Ceremony under the auspices of some respected elders.

The Monster Hunting Ceremony was quite complicated. First, incense was burned and heaven and earth were worshipped. After that, blood was sworn, and the palm was cut with a knife, and the blood was dripped into the wine, and they drank together.

The elder said something, but Mo Hua was far away and could not hear it clearly. He only heard a little bit.

The meaning was that although they were all monster hunters, they had no blood relationship, but they swore blood as a promise, drank this wine together, supported each other, and had blood flowing together and strength working together.

Monster beasts are several times stronger than monks. If you don't work together, you can't be a monster hunter. You will easily lose your life and become the bait of monster beasts.

After the blood oath, the new monster hunters are distributed with monster hunting orders by the elders.

The monster hunting order is said to be made of the bones of special monster beasts. It is only the size of a baby's fist and is pale white.

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

A monster hunting order covered with cracks can be regarded as the merit of the monster hunter.

Each of the three people, Da Hu, got a monster hunting order, dripped blood on it, and then hung it around his neck.

The monster hunting order dripped with blood will accompany the monster hunter throughout his life. Some monster hunters even cherish the monster hunting order as their life. Even if they lose their lives, they are unwilling to lose the monster hunting order. Losing the Monster Hunting Order means losing the past and achievements of monster hunting, and also the life of the monster hunter.

After the blood oath and the distribution of the Monster Hunting Order, the Monster Hunting Ceremony was over.

Dahu and the other two were nervous throughout the whole process, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

They wore new Taoist robes and rattan armor, and held brand new Pudao in their hands.

The Taoist robes were made of ordinary fabrics, which were cheap but sturdy. The rattan armor and Pudao were spiritual weapons. The rattan armor could protect the heart meridian, and the Pudao was used to hunt monsters. It was the most common spiritual weapon among monster hunters.

Uncle Meng was not rich to begin with, and he basically spent all his savings to buy this set for the three of them. In the future, they will rely on these spiritual weapons to be self-reliant.

Mo Hua, Da Hu and the other two walked around the street, but seeing that they were not interested, they worriedly asked:

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

They came to a small stone bridge, sat on the side of the bridge, and watched the gurgling water and the lights in the distance blending together.

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

Xiao Hu said: "I saw it too. I guess she was worried about the spiritual stones. The spiritual stones at home are all used up. She saved them bit by bit."

"Not only that, but I borrowed some. I saw my father borrowed some from the uncles in the monster hunting team, and Uncle Mo." Da Hu said, and then asked Mo Hua: "Your family doesn't need spiritual stones urgently, right?"

"Don't worry, we have a restaurant at home, so we don't need it for the time being." Mo Hua comforted.

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

They were just children a day ago, and they would begin to endure the hardships of monks' lives after the monster hunting ceremony. Some things I didn't understand deeply before, but now that the responsibility falls on my shoulders, I know how difficult life is.

"Don't be so depressed, this is actually a good thing." Mo Hua said.

Da Hu and the other two looked at Mo Hua together.

"Before, only Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng could earn spirit stones, and you could only spend spirit stones. Now you are demon hunters, and you can hunt demon beasts to earn spirit stones. Aunt Meng's burden is lighter, and her life will be better in the future. When you pay off your debts and earn more spirit stones, Aunt Meng can buy a lot of good things to eat." Mo Hua said.

The eyes of the three people lit up.

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

"Aren't you good at fighting?"

"Yes."

"Just treat monster hunting as fighting. You used to fight with people, and now you fight with monsters."

"But... hunting monsters is different from fighting, right?" Xiaohu hesitated.

"Then learn more from the uncles in the monster hunting team. Nothing can be achieved overnight. The faster you learn, the sooner you can help, and the sooner you can get spirit stones. In this way, Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng will be happy."

Mohua comforted them, and the three children cheered up more or less.

"But," Dahu hesitated, "if we go monster hunting, we won't be able to come to play with you often."

"And I guess I won't be able to play with you in the future..." Xiaohu also said silently.

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

"It's okay. In a year or two, maybe I'll be at the sixth level of Qi Refining. By then, I'll be a demon hunter and can go up the mountain with you guys." Mo Hua said.

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Hu said happily.

"What's right?" Shuanghu rolled his eyes at Xiaohu, then looked at Mo Hua with some worry, "You are not in good health, and you are not on the path of physical cultivation. It is very dangerous to be a demon hunter. Uncle Mo will not agree. You should be a formation master. You have a high status, earn a lot of spirit stones, and don't have to fight and kill."

Dahu nodded quickly, "Being a formation master is good!"

Xiaohu also followed up, "Yes, being a formation master is good!"

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

However, he thought about it and it seemed that he really didn't have the talent to be a demon hunter. He was weak by nature, and the skills he learned were more focused on spiritual power. If he really became a demon hunter, the demon beast would get close to him and bite him a few times, and he would probably be dead...

Mo Hua felt a little regretful. He still yearned for the physical cultivation cultivators who punched hard and made big moves. They were brave and unrestrained.

It's a pity that he was born weak and didn't have this opportunity.

Mo Hua patted his waist bag, "Today I will treat you to the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Liu Ji on the street, as a practice for you."

When they heard that there was food, the three of them were excited.

"But it's not good to always treat you." Shuang Hu said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay, when you become a well-known monster hunter, kill many monsters, and earn a lot of spirit stones, you can treat me to delicious food!"

When the three heard it, they suddenly felt heroic and nodded in unison: "Okay!"

The worries just now were swept away, and the group walked towards the cake shop with heroic spirit.

After eating the cakes, it was getting late, so they had to go home.

Before leaving, Da Hu reminded Mo Hua: "Be careful when we go up the mountain. If someone bullies you, be sure to tell us, and we will come back to help you fight."

Mo Hua was moved and smiled: "Okay, then it's settled!"
