Chapter 8: One Hit, One Kill
In the entire Jing Clan, Jing Chenxing was the only person who would be willing to give a Top-grade weapon to Jing Yan.
"Thank you, Uncle Chenxing." Jing Yan took Moonbeam Sword and bowed to Jing Chenxing with a solemn face.
"Punk, why are you acting so formal with me?" Jing Chenxing said, smiling and clapping Jing Yan's shoulder.
"I will be on my way then, Uncle," Jing Yan then said goodbye to Jing Chenxing.
"Go ahead. Remember to be careful. Also remember, there's nothing you can't endure in life. Look at me, your uncle. Although I'm disabled, I keep going. You can't allow your life to be defined by the way other people see you. The most important thing is to keep the criticism of others from affecting your judgment," Jing Chenxing said in an earnest and sincere tone.
He really was concerned about Jing Yan, fearing that his nephew couldn't take all the malicious remarks and ill-mannered sarcastic comments. Deep down, Jing Chenxing was worried that the pressure from those remarks and comments was the reason why Jing Yan was suddenly insisting on going into the Blackrock Mountains to hunt Spiritual Beasts. Jing Chenxing knew that with Jing Yan's current cultivation, entering the Blackrock Mountains to pursue even the lowest-ranked Spiritual Beasts—the First-grade ones—would be quite challenging. But he didn't stop Jing Yan from going to the Blackrock Mountains by force, because he believed that Jing Yan had to discover some things on his own.
Some things simply couldn't be learned through a rational conversation; Jing Yan would have to experience them to understand.
After he left the weapon store, Jing Yan packed up plenty of food and set off from Dong Lin City on his horse, heading toward the Blackrock Mountains at full speed.
Jing Yan officially entered the Blackrock Mountains at dusk.
It was a massive area, so although quite a few warriors were going after Spiritual Beasts in the Blackrock Mountains at the same time, it was unlikely that he would come across anyone else.
Jing Yan walked in the outskirts of the mountainous area for more than half a zodiac hour, and he didn't see even a trace of other warriors.
Of course, the number of Spiritual Beasts in the outer area was also limited. Jing Yan hadn't come across any Spiritual Beasts in the time he'd been walking either.
