Name of Spring Hunting

The secret vault of the Tang Clan lay under the Martial Hall. Tang Luo fetched the purple sandalwood box and went back to the second-floor War Room of the Steel Bone Tower. Not only were Ji Fu and Elder Xu in the room, but Tang Zhi, Tang Sen, and the Great Elder Tang Siyuan were also seated, waiting for him. After all, it wasn’t something two people could accomplish alone to fetch the treasure from this vault. If the vault were far away, how to transport its contents would be a great challenge. Tang Luo could only hope that the repository was close to Longjiang, as the Tang Clan which possessed the Wancheng Treasure Ship had great confidence in naval warfare.
After nodding in acknowledgment at the clan leader, his father, and the Great Elder, Tang Luo pushed the wooden box forward toward Ji Fu and said, “Come on, Young Master Ji, take a look. This is a Boundary Breaking Stone from a Minor Spiritual Realm.”
Ji Fu nodded, his face expressionless as he opened the box. A milky white radiance instantly filled the War Room.
He opened his chest, jabbed a finger into his heart, pulled it out, and a stream of a heart blood squirted out onto the Boundary Breaking Stone.
The Boundary Breaking Stone shone even brighter after being soaked in the heart blood. Ji Fu placed the white jade on his chest, closed his eyes for a while to sense and then put the Boundary Breaking Stone back into the box. Astonishingly, the bloody hole in his chest had already healed in just a brief moment.
“Truly amazing.” Even though he had seen it before, Tang Luo was still deeply astounded by the Undying Bloodline. It truly was of Earth Level quality. Just considering the impressive regeneration and self-healing abilities, unless one far surpasses in power, there’s almost no hope of defeating it within the same Martial Arts Realm.
Ji Fu, having sensed the information within the Boundary Breaking Stone, replaced the stone in the box and covered it. He put on his clothes with a gloomy look on his face.
Elder Xu, sensing his irritation, asked, “Brother, is there a problem with this
Boundary Breaking Stone?”
“It’s nothing!” Ji Fu looked at Elder Xu and replied.
His aggravation was due to the stone coming from the treasury of Longzhou, the Spirit Realm treasury of the Han Family, the second largest after Zhongzhou. The idea of having to give away half of the wealth of the second largest treasury pained him. But there could be no going back on something he had already promised.
“Bring the full map of Longzhou!” Ji Fu glanced at Tang Luo and ordered coldly. Looking at Ji Fu’s demeanor, Tang Luo laughed. He quickly fetched the map of the whole of Longzhou from the table of the War Room, and with a smiling face, placed it in front of Ji Fu, “Please, Young Master Ji-
Ji Fu glanced at Tang Luo and moved his hand from the coordinate of the sacred mountain in the center of Longzhou, pushing it toward the west.
This minor spiritual realm was a treasury built during the heyday of the Han Family, thousands of years ago. Bear in mind that there was no telling when it might come into use, it was protected with encryptions.
With constant changes in human affairs and geographical features, rivers may change course and cities rise and fall, thus they were not reliable. Therefore, this treasury took the sacred mountain of Longzhou as its landmark. As Ji Fu measured a distance of fifteen thousand six hundred and thirty miles to the southwest from the sacred mountain, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
“This treasury… is it near Xiling!?” Ji Fu exclaimed incredulously.
“Ohh??” Even the three elders were startled upon hearing this news, and then expressed delight.
If this minor spiritual realm were close to Xiling, that would be wonderful. It is the area where the Tang Clan had the most control and was the place where mistakes were least likely to occur.
Ji Fu pointed to a spot to the west of Xiling and asked, “Is there a temple of demonic immortals here?”
Tang Sen glanced at it and confirmed solemnly, “There indeed is a Fox Immortal Temple.”
“Then that’s settled!” Ji Fu looked at Tang Sen and replied, “The minor spiritual realm of Longzhou was originally a cave dwelling of a Nine-tailed Fox King. My predecessors of the Han Family destroyed the Demon King and used its soul to train a guardian spirit to protect this minor spiritual realm. Even if one possesses a Boundary Breaking Stone, without the secret technique to break the boundaries, one cannot open the gate to this spiritual realm.”
Ji Fu had a profound impression of Tang Sen. As a warrior with the Power of the Dragon Elephant, Tang Sen’s strength was no less dominating than that of those in the Fierce Realm. However, when caught by the spine by Tang Sen, Ji Fu could not even love a muscle.
On seeing the location of the treasury just fifteen miles west of the city, Tang Zhi pondered for a moment and then suggested, “Then this year’s spring hunt could set up camp west of the city. Using the excuse of hunting, we could seal off the area around the Fox Immortal Temple.
A spring hunt was a large-scale spring outing held by the clan every year, with the intent to showcase the strength and merits of the young warriors. There were many fierce beasts and poisonous insects in the continuous mountains to the west of Xiling, thus making it an ideal place for the young warriors to show off their capabilities.
With the excuse of a spring hunt, the Tang Clan could freely enter and exit the minor spiritual realm, and transport the supplies from the treasury back to the clan unnoticed.
“I have no objections.” Ji Fu replied indifferently.
Honestly, he just wanted to quickly retrieve the materials and secret methods from the treasury and take them back to Beimang. Then he could concentrate on his cultivation, waiting to lead the Slaughter Immortal Army back to Zhongzhou after a hundred years.
With the proposal being seconded by the others in the War Room, the matter of opening the treasury was decided.
On the morning of the thirteenth day of the third month, the sky was cloudless for miles around.
Fifteen miles to the west of the city, the Tang Clan had their spring hunt.
As the Tang Clan’s largest spring entertainment event, on this day almost all principal mothers of the ancestral houses would appear along with their children, as well as many young ladies from the Tang Clan.
These spring hunts often led to many young men and women falling in love and getting married, especially the young ladies from the branch and common families who had no opportunity to attend the clan meetings. They were even more eager to find a suitable man in these spring hunts to change their fate. Therefore, on this day, every girl dressed up beautifully. Some of the bolder ones would even offer food to the boys they liked as a hint.
Normally, the students of the First Cultivation Ground do not participate in this spring hunt, for they don’t need these spring hunt rankings to prove themselves. But due to the special circumstances this time, Tang Bin specially took all the students of the First Cultivation Ground to this event. All of them have cultivated the Undying Battle Body. Tang Peng, Tang Fengran and Tang Hong have even drawn a divine pattern on their arms. There’s no need to hide the matter of the Spirit Realm treasury any further.
Therefore, bringing the students to this spring hunt also had the intention of broadening their horizons. After all, they are quite used to illusions, and even Tang Bin had only heard of this minor spirit realm for the first time. When a group of Martial Hall students dressed in golden embroidered black exercise clothes appeared at the spring hunt, they entirely ignited the passion of the young ladies. They deliberately swayed in front of the students, their thin skirts unable to hide their youthful bodies. The charming silhouettes of these girls were all too much for these boys full of youthful vigor, and some had to bow their bodies in fear of revealing their excitement.
“All of you, concentrate and calm yourselves! Look at what you all look like!” Tang Bin was furious, “You should learn from Tang Peng and Tang Xing, how can they keep their cool?”
Young warriors tend to be impulsive, and lust is human nature. However, those indulging in desire can never climb higher in the Martial Arts Realm. The First Cultivation Ground only has these dozen or so male students. If a few of them indulge in desire, Tang Bin fears his reputation will be ruined.
“Gather outside the Fox Immortal Temple after dinner.. Don’t blame me for being ruthless if I catch any of you fooling around! Now, break up!”
