Late at night.
Zhao family, in a tall and luxurious courtyard.
"Brother! You have to stand up for me. That Zhao Feng is just a measly branch family disciple, but he made me lose face in front of everyone. "
Zhao Kun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.
Recently, he had lost to a branch family disciple twice, and he didn't even have the face to go out.
"Trash!"
On the cattail hassock in the middle of the room sat a skinny young man with short hair like a cheetah.
The short-haired young man looked somewhat similar to Zhao Kun, but his charm and temperament were cold and decisive, straightforward and agile.
He was Zhao Kun's brother, Zhao Qian.
"Brother, I'm begging you. I must vent my anger."
Zhao Kun was perturbed, filled with fear and hatred.
He had always been afraid of this brother of his.
Ever since he was young, his brother, Zhao Qian, had always bullied him.
What made him feel the most helpless was that Zhao Qian always suppressed him.
Today, Zhao Qian had already reached the peak of the third rank of the Martial Path, and he had trained the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake to the sixth change. His strength was enough to be ranked in the top five of the outer disciples.
Even three to five Zhao Kun's wouldn't be his brother's opponent.
… …
The next morning.
Zhao Feng woke up early, and he first practiced Angry Dragon Fists and Pushing Formula.
These two martial arts techniques could be considered Zhao Feng's main cultivation techniques.
"The third rank of the Martial Path is still a distance away."
Zhao Feng practiced for an hour, and according to the 'plan' he made last night, he went to the family's accounting room.
According to the rules, Zhao Feng received ten pieces of silver every month from the clan.
"I haven't received this month's money yet."
Zhao Feng came to the family's accounting room.
"Zhao Feng, second rank of the Martial Path, branch family disciple, twenty silver."
The accountant said expressionlessly.
Twenty silver?
Zhao Feng took the silver and nodded in thanks.
After reaching the second rank of the Martial Path, his monthly allowance had doubled.
However, he understood that twenty taels of silver per month was enough for an ordinary person to live a carefree life.
But for martial arts cultivators, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Some of the precious medicinal herbs used to speed up one's cultivation and break through to the next realm could easily cost up to a thousand taels of silver.
The children of those rich families could casually consume one or two precious medicinal herbs, which was equivalent to the income of ordinary children for decades.
"Twenty taels of silver …"
Zhao Feng took a deep breath, took the only twenty taels of silver he had with him, and left the Zhao Clan's territory, heading towards the Sun Feather City's market.
If it was in the past, he would have given his monthly allowance to his parents as soon as he got it to help with the family's expenses.
But this time, he didn't do that. Instead, he took the twenty taels of silver and left alone.
Not long after, Zhao Feng entered Sun Feather City's largest trading market.
In a weapon shop in the city.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this heavy iron bow?"
Zhao Feng had been looking for a long time in the weapon shop, and he had finally found this heavy iron bow.
"Heavy iron bow, strong piercing power, effective killing range of one hundred and fifty meters. Twenty taels of silver."
The shopkeeper said with a polite smile.
He saw the "Zhao Clan" symbol on Zhao Feng's clothes.
In Sun Feather City, the Zhao family, Xin family, and Qiu family were known as the three great families. Within a thousand miles of Sun Feather City, their influence was monstrous.
"Twenty taels of silver?"
Zhao Feng furrowed his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Can you make it cheaper?"
The shopkeeper smiled: "How about this, I'll give you the lowest price, eighteen taels of silver."
"Fifteen taels of silver! I'm short on money, but when I have money in the future, I'll pay you back double. "
Zhao Feng said straightforwardly, his eyes filled with sincerity.
"Fifteen taels of silver? I'm afraid that's too little, there's no room for profit at all... "
The shopkeeper seemed to be in a difficult position, but seeing Zhao Feng's sincerity, he gritted his teeth: "Alright, this shop is under the Zhao family's name anyway, I hope you'll keep your word."
"Thank you."
Zhao Feng revealed a look of gratitude.
He didn't expect that this shop was under the Zhao family's name.
Soon, Zhao Feng bought the heavy iron bow for fifteen taels of silver.
Then, he used the remaining five taels of silver to buy a dozen arrows, a bottle of poison, and some food.
Like this, Zhao Feng was penniless.
"I shouldn't fail..."
Zhao Feng mumbled to himself, and immediately left Sun Feather City.
Teng!
As soon as he left Sun Feather City, Zhao Feng used Lightly Floating Ferry to travel, and his speed was much faster than a wild horse.
Using the time he took to travel, he further comprehended Lightly Floating Ferry.
Two hours later, Zhao Feng finally arrived at his destination - Sky Cloud Forest.
The "Sky Cloud Forest" was the largest primeval forest in the Cloud Country. It even spanned across more than a dozen countries.
As the largest forest in the surrounding countries, there were many dangerous wild beasts in the Sky Cloud Forest. Just a little deeper, there were often traces of higher ranked "fierce beasts".
Fierce beasts were different from wild beasts. They were influenced by the energy of heaven and earth, and gradually turned into monsters. Their strength could be said to be terrifying.
Some of the stronger fierce beasts could even destroy villages. Only true martial artists could fight against them.
Zhao Feng didn't come to Sky Cloud Forest to find fierce beasts. He hadn't reached the point where he was tired of living.
His goal was simple, to hunt and earn money!
In Sky Cloud Forest, there were some strong wild beasts, and their fur and body parts were worth a lot of money.
For example, an adult brown bear could be worth two to three hundred taels of silver.
However, the combat power of an adult brown bear far exceeded that of an ordinary second rank martial artist. Generally, only a third rank martial artist would have the confidence to defeat it.
Of course, Zhao Feng's target was not a brown bear or a large wild beast.
"Although large wild beasts are worth a lot of money, they are too heavy. I can't carry more than a few at a time."
Zhao Feng already had a plan in mind as he entered the Sky Cloud Forest.
Teng!
His figure flashed, and like a swallow, he leapt onto a tree branch and used the force to fly.
Moments later, Zhao Feng leapt onto an ancient tree that was over a hundred meters tall.
This ancient tree was much taller than the surrounding trees, and it gave off a feeling of being able to look down from above.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had practiced Lightly Floating Ferry, Zhao Feng would have been scared witless.
Standing on the ancient tree, Zhao Feng's left eye began to scan the surrounding forest.
Whoosh!
In the next instant, his left eye entered a super vision state. Within a five or six mile radius, he could see everything as small as an ant on a tree.
Zhao Feng first had to determine if there were any dangerous wild beasts nearby, or even fierce beasts.
Not long later, Zhao Feng had a clear understanding of the situation within a five or six mile radius.
There were at least twenty wild beasts that could pose a threat to him, and one of them was nearby, but there were no fierce beasts nearby.
"It's starting."
Zhao Feng took a deep breath, and slowly drew the Heavy Iron Bow in his hand.
Whoosh — —
With a shake of the bowstring, the sharp arrow pierced through the air, traversing a hundred meters with unerring accuracy as it pierced a venomous gold-spotted snake that was four to five meters long.
Hiss!
The golden-spotted viper leaped up and spat out its tongue. It was ferocious and bloody.
However, Zhao Feng's arrow was extremely accurate, and it hit its weak spot.
The Golden Spotted Snake struggled for a bit, and then died.
"The Golden Spotted Snake's poison is fatal, and it can threaten the life of a Martial Disciple of the third rank of the Martial Path."
Zhao Feng let out a sigh of relief, and his palms were covered in sweat.
If it was a head-on battle, the Golden Spotted Snake's speed was extremely fast, and its poison was fatal.
However, Zhao Feng had also gained a lot.
The Golden Spotted Snake's skin, fangs, and gallbladders were all very valuable.
Just this Golden Spotted Snake alone could bring Zhao Feng three to four hundred silvers, and it was even more valuable than normal wild beasts.
After killing the Golden Spotted Snake, Zhao Feng used his left eye to look for a new target.
Chirp — —
At a certain moment, Zhao Feng heard a sharp chirp in the air.
An Iron Beak Eagle with a wingspan of a meter flashed. With a flash of silver light, it flew over the forest and easily killed a wolf that was comparable to the second rank of the Martial Path.
Zhao Feng's expression was solemn. That Iron Beak Eagle was known as the "Metal Pecker Eagle", and it was famous in the Sky Cloud Forest. Its battle prowess surpassed that of a normal cultivator of the second rank of the Martial Path, and it had almost no natural enemies.
"The Metal Pecker Eagle's speed is fast, its feathers are like iron, and its defense is also strong. It is almost a fierce beast, and killing one of them would be worth seven to eight hundred silvers."
Zhao Feng thought to this point, and he activated his left eye to the extreme, locking onto the Metal Pecker Eagle.
This time, he took out an arrow covered in poison.
Creak … …
The Heavy Iron Bow was pulled by Zhao Feng … …
