Shennong Sequence

Chapter 79 Blood Pill, the Barbarian Ninth Order Ritual Abandoned Halfway

It seemed like a warning from the unknown; this thing was closely related to his own tribulation before entering the Dao!

Zhao Yun still remembered what Master Sun said to him last night: When you are involved in the calamity of entering the Tao, heaven and earth will leave a way out and give you a warning!
The jade box was gently opened, and a blood-red pill remained in the middle of the jade box.

"The charm of this thing feels a bit similar to the dark yellow Taoist pill I ate from the farmer's house..."

Then, Zhao Yun picked up the burnt book with doubts.

There was nothing on the cover. When I opened the first page, it was clearly written "Barbarian Ninth Order Sequence".

Zhao Yun's heart beat violently.

As I flipped through the pages, the book detailed how to achieve the ninth-level "Warrior" of the Barbarians: the arrangement of the rituals and ceremonies, and how to take the "Warrior Blood Pill" at the end.

Zhao Yun finished reading the entire thin book in a short while.

The most crucial point in the barbarian tribe's initiation ceremony is:
You need to survive alone in the wild for a month, overcome various dangers, and hunt at least one wild beast.

Whether it is a ferocious tiger or a cunning fox, all carnivores can be considered ferocious beasts.

Even if a timid person hunts a rat for meat, it can be recognized by the ceremony!

However, I guess no one would be willing to use mice to complete the barbarian sequence.

In addition, after hunting a wild animal, you need to peel off its fur, then eat the heart, liver and other internal organs first, then eat the flesh and blood, and finally crack the bones and suck the marrow.

On the last day of a month of survival in the wild, the final advancement ceremony will be performed. On the full moon night, you will put on the fur of the hunted beast, chant the ancient war dance, and finally swallow the warrior's blood pill. Only in this way can you successfully advance to the ninth-level barbarian warrior.

Eventually, this barbarian tribe's ninth-level warriors will have three forms: human, orc, and beast!

"No wonder Zhang Sheng hunted a tiger before, but he didn't use the fur to exchange for silver to get through the tax period. It turned out that he wanted to achieve the ninth level of the Barbarian Warrior Sequence."

"Moreover, the Emperor of the Great Zhou has sent border inspectors to Beiliang. Various phenomena in the Wuyang Garrison also indicate that the barbarians will make major moves before winter this year..."

"But Zhang Sheng, where did you get the 'Warrior Blood Pill' and the Barbarian Tribe's ninth-level warrior sequence?"

With doubts, Zhao Yun opened the letter on the ground and looked at its contents.

"It turns out that someone deliberately spread the barbarian tribe's initiation ceremony in Beiliang, intending to allow some people from the Great Zhou to achieve the barbarian tribe's sequence."

"In this case, these cultivators can only act as spies, provide information to the barbarians, and then betray the Great Zhou and flee to the Canglan Grassland, Zhuori Desert, Hanlin Wilderness, Mingfo Ice Sea, and other barbarian territories."

"What a good plan! It seems that the barbarians have already made preparations for this attack."

After reading these things, Zhao Yun thought to himself that something was not good.

"My sudden inspiration is actually related to the content of this letter..."

"Also, the barbarians' advance arrangements should not only contain the secrets in the letter."

Zhao Yun glanced at the Fire Ghost Zhang Sheng who was still staying in the shade.

It’s a pity that the man and the ghost can’t speak the same language.

Otherwise, you can still find out something.

"Also, that ninth-level barbarian warrior has three forms: human, half-orc, and beast. These all enhance physical strength. If a fragile mage like me encounters one in close combat, I'm afraid I'll suffer a great loss..." Zhao Yun felt that his entry tribulation had become more complicated, which made him feel unprecedented pressure.

Then, Zhao Yun looked back and saw the Fire Ghost Zhang Sheng, who seemed to have become more resentful.

Zhao Yun felt that he still needed to stabilize Zhang Sheng. He would return to the garrison tomorrow and ask Master Sun what to do next.

The door key tied to Zhao Yun's wrist slipped out through his sleeve, gently touched the items on the ground, and was put into the space in the door key.

Zhao Yun asked Zhang Sheng, who was hiding from the sun in the corner, "Zhang Sheng, what are your plans now? Do you need my help to dig out your body and choose another place to bury it?"

Fire Ghost Zhang Sheng shook his head to indicate that it was not necessary.

But the Fire Ghost Zhang Sheng squatted on the ground again, drawing crookedly on the ground with his fingers.

Looks like writing?
Zhao Yun frowned, and finally relied on his "reading" skill to ponder for a while before he realized that the ugly strokes on the ground that looked like tree roots and branches were the word "revenge".

Zhang Sheng has two enemies, Huang Guofa who collects taxes and Cheng Qiguan who leads the troops.

However, these two men both have status and position. If Zhao Yun rashly helps Zhang Sheng to take revenge, he might implicate himself, making his already difficult situation of being involved in the barbarian's "entry calamity" even worse.

Therefore, Zhao Yun decisively rejected the request of Fire Ghost Zhang Sheng:
"With your ability to control fire, you can go and seek revenge on your enemies at night. Why do you need me to help you?"

"I think you should do the revenge yourself."

"Also, I promised your mother that I would bring her a message, but I couldn't... and then her ghost followed me all the way, so I brought her to see you."

"Now, we have settled our grievances."

"But if you want to harm others, don't harm my family. Otherwise, I won't tolerate it!"

As Zhao Yun spoke, he spit out a black evil wind from his mouth and gradually approached Zhang Sheng, letting Zhang Sheng slightly feel the oppression of the black evil wind, shocking and warning Zhang Sheng!

In addition, Zhao Yun approached Zhang Sheng in order to collect the blood-colored light ball left on the ground after Zhang's mother's ghost dissipated.

After Zhao Yun approached the target, he silently said "collect" in his heart, and the blood-red light ball was collected by the yellow cloth.

After a quick glance, I got three origin points, now the total is: [Origin: 45 points]

Afterwards, Zhao Yun left Zhang Sheng's dilapidated home.

He walked along the mountain path and came to the stream. He washed off the dust on his body that had been contaminated by the ruins and shook off the dust on his brocade clothes.

After cleaning himself, Zhao Yun dressed neatly again and continued on his journey home.

When Zhao Yun was almost at the door of his house, he looked up and saw that the fence gate, which had been in good condition before, was now broken and crumbling!
It's as if it had been devastated.

This made Zhao Yun feel uneasy. Realizing that something might have gone wrong, he quickly ran home.

When he arrived at the door, Zhao Yun used his powerful mental power to sense that there were only three people in the room.

After confirming that there was no emergency, he slowed down his pace and stood at the door to listen.

The sound of a few quarrels reached my ears.
