Chapter 63 The Bounty of Black Wind Mountain
“oh?
“What’s new?
“It’s not about me again, is it?”
Song Jie blinked, his past experience made him feel a little unsure.
Li Caiwei covered her mouth and chuckled: “There are indeed topics related to Brother Song.
“In recent days, many monks in Xinyuefang City have been discussing your decision to give up joining the Alchemy Sect, Brother Song.
“Also, you have obtained the prescriptions for the Rejuvenation Pill and the Fuling Pill from the Alchemy Cauldron Sect. Most of the monks who have been around Shiwan Mountain all year round have shown interest in this.
“However, the new thing I want to talk about has nothing to do with you, Brother Song.”
Hearing Li Caiwei say with certainty that the new thing had nothing to do with him, Song Jie immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was also a little curious.
“I wonder what’s new?”
“Brother Song, do you still remember that the brother of Nie Yixiong, the head of Black Wind Mountain, was killed in Xinyuefang City.”
“Of course I remember… the new news is related to this matter?” Song Jie’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked with some suspicion: “Have you found clues to the murderer?”
Li Caiwei shook her head, “There are no clues about the murderer, but that’s precisely because the murderer has never been found.
“Two days ago, Black Wind Mountain issued a reward order!”
“Reward order?” Song Jie’s eyes showed a trace of doubt.
Li Caiwei nodded and said, “Yes, if anyone can provide valid clues, they will be rewarded with five hundred spiritual stones.
“And whoever can directly identify the murderer will be rewarded with a thousand spiritual stones.
“Furthermore, no matter who provides effective clues or directly identifies the murderer, he will be issued a Black Wind Order.
“Those who hold the Black Wind Order will be protected from robbery when encountering the robbery cultivators of Black Wind Mountain in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”
“This reward is quite generous.” Song Jie couldn’t help but click his tongue.
One thousand spiritual stones… If I identify myself, can I receive the award? He would probably be hacked to death with a knife.
The thought of committing suicide flashed through Song Jie’s mind, and was immediately extinguished by him.
Li Caiwei nodded and said: “Yes, after the reward order was issued, many monks ran to the scene of the incident in the past two days, trying to find some clues.”
“If it were so easy to find clues, Heifeng Mountain wouldn’t issue a reward.” Song Jie shook his head.
He was not optimistic about the monks who went to look for clues.
Because the only clue he left at the scene may be the traces left by his fingering.
Black Wind Mountain must have grasped this clue a long time ago.
With so many monks in Xinyuefang City, there must be many who are good at fingering.
And every day, many monks from other places come to Xinyuefang City.
Heifeng Mountain should also be unable to confirm whether the murderer is a monk living in Xinyuefang City or a monk from other places.
In addition, since I am only a young monk at the third level of Qi refining stage and an alchemist, I guess no one will doubt me.
After so many days, none of the calamity cultivators from Black Wind Mountain came to trouble him, which confirmed this inference.
Therefore, although Song Jie felt a little uneasy because of the reward order just now, after clarifying his thoughts now, he felt that there was no need to worry too much.
The only thing he had to worry about was that someone witnessed the fight between him and Nie Yixiong’s brother that day.
As long as no one witnesses it, there’s nothing to worry about.
As for whether anyone secretly witnessed all this that day, it is beyond Song Jie’s control.
I can only think about how to deal with this situation after I go back.
“I’m thinking about a question, do any monks really dare to go to Black Wind Mountain to receive the award?
“With the way the Black Wind Mountain Tribulation Cultivator behaves, it’s very likely that even people won’t be able to come back.”
Li Caiwei shook her head and said: “That won’t happen, although almost all the robbery cultivators in Black Wind Mountain are notorious.
“But they are not completely without integrity. At least when it comes to reward orders, they will not deceive people.
“There have been several bounty orders issued in Black Wind Mountain, after some brave monks completed the tasks in the bounty order.
“I did receive the reward from Black Wind Mountain and came back safe and sound.
“So when it comes to the reward order, Heifengshan will still abide by its integrity.
“Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many monks going to the site of the incident to look for clues in the past two days.”
“I see.” Song Jie nodded thoughtfully, and then thought of the Black Wind Order in Li Caiwei’s previous words.
He remembered that when he touched the corpse, he found a token made of fine iron, with the word “Black Wind” written on one side.
Could it be that the token is the Black Wind Order? Regarding some information about Black Wind Mountain, because the original owner rarely communicated with others, Song Jie did not search for much information from the inherited memory.
So he asked again: “I wonder what the Black Wind Order is?”
Li Caiwei answered patiently: “The Black Wind Order is the identity token of the Black Wind Mountain Tribulation Cultivator.
“Every robbery cultivator in Black Wind Mountain has a Black Wind Order on his body.
“Heifeng Mountain is different from other forces in that its management is relatively loose and does not require all robbery cultivators to settle in the mountain.
“The monks who are awarded the Black Wind Order are equivalent to being recognized by Black Wind Mountain and allowed to become a member of Black Wind Mountain.”
Speaking of this, Li Caiwei suddenly lowered her voice and whispered: “Our Xinyuefang City is actually home to many robbery cultivators from Black Wind Mountain.
“It’s just that there are monks from three major families in Fang City, and the Black Wind Mountain Tribulation cultivators don’t dare to cause trouble on weekdays, and most of them live peacefully.
“Issuing Black Wind Orders through bounty orders to monks who have completed bounty tasks is actually a way for Black Wind Mountain to develop its power.
“Cultivators who hold the Black Wind Order, even if they are not tribulation cultivators now, will most likely become tribulation cultivators in the future.
“As long as they are in a desperate situation, Black Wind Mountain will be their last and only choice.”
“Heifengshan’s move is really great. Invisibly, a seed was planted in the hearts of those monks. All they have to do is wait quietly for that seed to take root and sprout.”
Song Jie couldn’t help but sigh.
The monks who were able to complete the reward order showed that they must have something extraordinary.
Moreover, most of these monks are talented and courageous people, and are very suitable for developing into tribulation cultivators.
There is indeed something clever about Heifengshan developing its power in this way.
Some monks who are not determined will easily become calamity cultivators when they encounter difficulties and hold a black wind order.
Even a determined monk has a high possibility of embarking on the path of calamity when he is desperate.
This reminded Song Jie of a famous book he had read before traveling through time, Water Margin.
Even if those monks are not in a desperate situation, Black Wind Mountain can secretly help them become desperate.
In the end, he had no choice but to join Black Wind Mountain and become a robbery cultivator.
Therefore, on the surface, this Black Wind Order seems to provide a kind of shelter to those monks who complete the bounty mission.
It can prevent them from being robbed when they encounter the robbery cultivators of Black Wind Mountain.
In fact, it is a catalyst that urges them to embark on the path of calamity cultivation.
