Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 315 - 303: Generous Rewards

"This spring hunt is divided into two parts."

"The first part involves four teams, entering Black Wind Valley from four different directions."

"Before reaching Black Wind Valley, all of you may engage in combat with each other without any rules to restrict you. But once you arrive at Black Wind Valley, you must stop fighting. We will have people waiting for you there. As long as you report to our personnel, that will be considered reaching a safe point."

"Additionally, what we’re going to distribute to you next are Qi Blood Pearls!"

As the official from the Ministry of Rites was speaking, palace maids had already brought over a Jade Plate.

In the middle of the Jade Plate, there lay several red beads.

"Each participant of the spring hunt will receive one Qi Blood Bead. From the start in Tianjue Forest to Black Wind Valley, the Qi-Blood within the inner cores of the ferocious beasts you slay can be absorbed by the Qi Blood Beads. Simply place the bead on top of the beast’s inner core."

With that, the official took out a Qi Blood Bead and an inner core of a ferocious beast.

He placed the Qi Blood Bead on top of the inner core.

Swiftly, the inner core visibly shriveled at a speed noticeable to the naked eye, followed by a few flashes from the Qi Blood Bead, and its color seemed to brighten a bit.

"The Qi Blood Pearls have a Spiritual Array already set up on them, so we can monitor the Qi-Blood value inside every bead at any time."

"You have one day’s time."

"One day’s time, from the starting point to the entrance of Black Wind Valley."

"If you exceed one day’s time, this spring hunt will be considered a direct failure!"

"When you reach the safe point at the entrance of Black Wind Valley, we will confirm the Qi-Blood value in each Qi Blood Bead once again."

"We will decide the rankings of this event based on the final Qi-Blood values of each individual. Only those who rank among the top four will be qualified to enter Black Wind Valley."

By this point, the crowd had a general understanding of what the first part entailed.

It was a competition of who could kill more ferocious beasts along the way, and whose beasts’ inner cores contained greater amounts of Qi-Blood. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"May I ask, sir, what is the reward for the first phase?" someone inquired.

The official from the Ministry of Rites chuckled and said, "For the first phase, as long as you safely reach the entrance of Black Wind Valley, you will receive a Golden Will Pill."

At the words of the official, many people exclaimed in surprise.

A Golden Will Pill, also known as a True Intent Elixir, is worth at least ten thousand Spirit Stones.

For the vast majority of martial artists below the Golden Core Realm, ten thousand Spirit Stones are undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

"As for ranking among the top four, there will be even more generous rewards."

"First place will receive an additional four Golden Will Pills. Second place will receive three, third place will get two, and fourth place will receive one additional Golden Will Pill!"

"Furthermore, there will be other rewards, such as gold, deeds to land, official promotions, and so on, which are not detailed here!"

Without a doubt, the rewards for this spring hunt were extremely rich.

This was also why many geniuses from the Hidden Dragon List had come to participate in the spring hunt.

Because they had heard that the Emperor placed great importance on this spring hunt and thus had arranged for very substantial rewards.

Just think about it, one day’s time, just to safely reach the entrance of Black Wind Valley, and you could get a Golden Will Pill, which, when converted to Spirit Stones, was ten thousand Spirit Stones.

In this world, there is probably no venture more profitable than this.

And this is just the reward for arrival; if you made it into the top four, the reward would be even more substantial.

"What about the reward for the second part?" someone asked eagerly.

If the reward for the first phase was this rich, one could only imagine how astounding the reward for the second phase would be.

"The rewards for the second trial, as well as the specific rules, will naturally be announced once everyone arrives at Heifeng Valley!" said the Ministry of Rites official.

"Next... All those participating in this Spring Hunt, proceed to Tianjue Forest according to your respective locations!"

Qin De approached Qin Qing and the others after the Ministry of Rites official had finished speaking.

"Qi Chong, Luo Qingshan, Qin Qing!"

He greeted Qin Qing and the others in turn.

"Your Highness!"

Qin Qing and the others responded to Qin De.

"Come with me. To Tianjue Forest," Qin Qing said.

According to the rules of the first round, the teams of the four princes were to be placed at four different entrances of Tianjue Forest.

From these four entrances of Tianjue Forest, they would all head towards Heifeng Valley simultaneously.

They had only one day, and they must arrive at Heifeng Valley within that day.

Qin De had found four fiery steeds, and the four rode swiftly toward Tianjue Forest.

Along the way, Qin De also spoke to the other three about the matters they needed to pay attention to upon entering the Spring Hunt.

"Qi Chong, among the three of you, you are the oldest, and your cultivation is also the highest. Hence, you will be the leader this time," said Qin De to Qi Chong.

"Alright!" Qin Chong nodded.

"Since you have all chosen my team, then we are comrades, and we must unite as one. As the leader, you have to take care of this relationship. Especially Qin Qing, he is the youngest, and his strength is probably the weakest. You must pay particular attention to him," Qin De added.

Qi Chong glanced at Qin Qing and nodded, "Your Highness, I know what to do."

"Qin Qing," Qin De then turned to Qin Qing.

"Speak, Your Highness!" said Qin Qing.

"In this Spring Hunt, you must especially be careful of Lu Yu’an. I don’t think I need to say much more, but if you can avoid a direct confrontation with him, it would be best not to. Once you enter Tianjue Forest, be cautious, and it’s preferable to choose a concealed route. As long as you reach the safety point and report to the Royal Family’s representatives there, Lu Yu’an wouldn’t dare to make another move on you," Qin De advised.

"Alright. Your Highness!" Qin Qing agreed.

However, once they arrived at Tianjue Forest, Qin Qing would decide how to act depending on the situation.

As for Lu Yu’an, Qin Qing no longer needed to be apprehensive.

If he encountered Lu Yu’an, Qin Qing would not hesitate to kill him.

After all, having already killed Lu Yuming, he had thoroughly offended the Lu Clan.

And this Lu Yu’an was always ranting about killing Qin Qing, even threatening to make Qin Qing’s sister, Qin Shuang, pay a heavy price.

How could Qin Qing possibly leave such a scourge alive?

Of course, these were thoughts Qin Qing did not feel the need to share with Qin De.

The journey from the Imperial City to Tianjue Forest was not very long.

In less than an hour, the four had already arrived at the entrance of Tianjue Forest.

"Qin Qing!" Qin De looked at Qin Qing, "Whether you can rescue your father depends on your performance in this Spring Hunt..."

"Understood!" Qin Qing nodded.

He was acutely aware of the tremendous significance this Spring Hunt held for him.
