Chapter 33: Genius, Cen Qingci
Accompanying the corpse was a bottle. However, there were many people around, so Xiao Shi was not in a hurry to pick up the bottle on the ground. In any case, as long as he did not take it, no one else would be able to see it.
There was no need to rush.
Due to the huge commotion coming from his place, the surrounding crowd gathered around. Even two night patrollers not far away heard the commotion and jogged over. However, when they saw that Xiao Shi had dealt with the situation, they did not stay here any longer.
One of the night patrollers said to Xiao Shi enviously before leaving. "You're really lucky. It's rare to see such an idiot. Shouldn't you treat us to a drink tonight to celebrate?"
"No problem." Xiao Shi smiled.
He got along well with these patrols. Everyone craved the wine in his hand. At the same time, this was indeed something to celebrate.
For night patrollers like them, what they wanted to see the most was such unruly people. After all, every time they dealt with such an event, they could obtain additional contribution points.
Naturally, the more, the better. Especially those who dared to attack the night patrollers. They were fat sheep in their eyes. Not only could they obtain additional contribution points by killing them, but all the wealth after killing them would also belong to them.
They couldn't wait for such an idiot to appear every day.
However, an incident like this was very rare in Golden Cloud City.
Although many people entered Golden Cloud City to seek the protection of the Red Tiger Sect to avoid the pursuit of their enemies, not all of their enemies were like this person, where they would lose their rationality and come to Golden Cloud City to attack.
This kind of situation where one's rationality was blinded by hatred was very rare.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, only then did Xiao Shi go over and pick up the items the other party had dropped after his death.
Relevant information appeared in his vision.
[Name: Healing Liquid]
[Type: Medicinal liquid]
[Grade: Martial Entry-Level]
[Introduction: A medicinal liquid that can be used for treatment.]
[Remark: It can only heal a certain degree of injury. If the injury is too serious, don't expect it to recover.]
...
This was a relatively common healing medicine.
The healing effect of this medicinal liquid was far inferior to medicinal pills. It could only be said to be average.
Xiao Shi did not find it strange that this person had dropped such a quality item after his death. After all, this was only a Level Four Martial Entry-Level martial artist.
The probability of dropping high-quality items was not high. After putting the healing liquid into his storage bag, Xiao Shi continued to plunder the other party's belongings. Other than some useless items, Xiao Shi also found a palm-sized black skull on his body.
"This is… something from the Senluo Organization!" Xiao Shi's expression instantly turned solemn. He did not expect this person to have something from the Senluo Organization. He carefully stared at the black skull. After some thought, he tried to place his palm on the skull.
In an instant, a message was transmitted from the black skull to Xiao Shi's hand, causing a ranking list to appear in his mind.
It was the bounty list of the Senluo Organization.
The Bounty List of the Senluo Organization was mainly divided into the Expert List and the Genius List.
What Xiao Shi saw now was the Genius List.
There were a total of 500 geniuses under the Feiyuan Palace.
The person ranked first was a person called Chu Daoxi. He was known as the number one outer sanctum disciple of the Feiyuan Palace, and his cultivation was at the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level.
His bounty was as high as one million Wu coins! At the same time, he could exchange it for treasures worth one million Wu coins.
The Senluo Organization was rich and had a huge treasure trove. There were many treasures inside. Usually, they would sell some rare treasures in the treasure vault from time to time. They would also use treasures as rewards.
"This Chu Daoxi is really valuable!" Xiao Shi sighed.
He followed the list and looked down. He realized that the top ten were all from the Feiyuan Palace. It was not until the top 20 that he finally found a member of the Red Tiger Sect.
Through this Genius Bounty List, Xiao Shi had a preliminary understanding of the many geniuses under the Feiyuan Palace. At the same time, he roughly judged in his heart that with his cultivation time and current cultivation, he could also be on the rankings.
However, he could not enter the top 100.
Because of the top 100 on the list were all geniuses who had reached the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level in a short period of time.
Xiao Shi also realized from this list that even between the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level, there was still a huge gap.
"The Genius List is filled with Martial Entry-Level martial artists, so the Expert List should be at the Qi Martial Realm or even higher, the Blood Martial Realm."
Xiao Shi was enlightened. This was also the only use of the skull in his hand. It displayed the Genius Bounty List.
Such skulls were relatively common in the entire Seven Star Province. They were all deliberately distributed by the Senluo Organization.
Although the bounty hunters of the Senluo Organization would specially choose the people on the list to hunt, this list would also attract people from other factions to attack the people on the list.
After all, the rewards behind these geniuses were extremely tempting.
Although Xiao Shi was strong enough to be on the list, this list was not a list that represented glory to him. This was a list that would constantly attract disasters.
He would never let his name appear on it.
As he thought, he casually threw the skull into his storage bag and continued to patrol the Golden Cloud City.
Just like that, other than patrolling, Xiao Shi cultivated non-stop every day. It would take more time to break through from Martial Entry-Level Eight to Level Nine. Even with Xiao Shi's aptitude and comprehension, he could not do it in a short period of time.
In terms of patrolling, Xiao Shi did not encounter anyone who dared to make a move in Gold Cloud City. At least, he did not appear in the area he was in charge of patrolling.
On this day, Xiao Shi patrolled as usual.
There was another night patroller beside him. The two of them had just finished patrolling an area and were preparing to head to the next area.
"Have you heard? Recently, an incredible genius has appeared in Team A. As a newcomer, not only has his cultivation reached Martial Entry-Level Seven, but he has also completed a Level One mission!" The night patroller beside Xiao Shi sighed. "Although most of the night patrollers in Team A are monsters, it's still rare to see such a genius."
Xiao Shi nodded. His cultivation at the seventh stage of the Martial Entry-Level was nothing. However, to be able to complete a Level 1 mission, he was indeed capable.
As they were talking, there was a commotion in front.
Soon, Xiao Shi and the night patroller beside him saw a huge beast appeared on the wide street.
It was an unknown black giant beast with thick black fur all over its body. Its limbs were thick and strong, and it was at least ten meters tall. It had wide fangs and looked very ferocious, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
However, this huge beast was now lying on the ground, its body dripping with blood. Its body was wrapped in chains, and it was dragged along the ground by a small figure.
The person dragging the huge beast was a young girl in white. She was not tall, and her chest had full curves. Her skin was fair and delicate like milk. She easily dragged the giant beast behind her and walked forward step by step without any pressure.
The big and small contrast formed an extremely strong contrast.
It attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked at the girl as if they were looking at a monster.
"I… I'm talking about her!" The night patroller beside Xiao Shi gulped. His eyes were a little fixed. "The genius… Cen Qingci!"
"Cen Qingci?" Xiao Shi's heart skipped a beat.
The name was familiar. He thought about it carefully. He suddenly remembered why this name was so familiar. He had seen this name on the Senluo Organization's Genius Bounty List before. Although her ranking was relatively low, she was a genius who had recently risen.
"It's said that this new genius is the easiest to attract bounty hunters."
Xiao Shi looked around. He could not help but wonder if there were bounty hunters hidden among these people.
