"City Lord Qi, we have to go back to the rear for a while to make some repairs. I'll leave you with the chores of cleaning up the battlefield, okay?"

After riding Ziqu and flying to the wall of Tiejia City, Jiang Yan said to Qi Gang, who had been watching the battle silently.

"Huh..." As if waking up from a dream, Qi Gang exhaled softly and looked at the almost barren battlefield below the city, especially the lava flowing on the ground and the scorched earth that had been bombarded with shallow craters, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Okay, but this needs to be sorted out."

While speaking, Qi Gang couldn't help but glance at Ziqu, who had shrunk in size under Jiang Yan's seat. After hesitating for a moment, he still clasped his fists and saluted: "I have met you, Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rudeness before.

"

Even if the opponent is a strange beast, its intelligence is no different from that of humans at this level. Qi Gang and others had completely ignored it before, so they naturally had to remedy it now to avoid causing the opponent's displeasure.

Although they knew from the beginning that this strange purple thunder lion beast with six wings of light was a powerful beast, they really didn't expect it to be at the level of a heaven-level beast king - to be honest, you are a heaven-level beast.

Is it really okay for you to let such a young man who is not yet at the heaven level sit on your back like this?

If Ziqu deliberately restrains it, people at a low level will not be able to see its true details, and can only get the feeling that it is "deeply hidden".

Faced with Qi Gang's overture, Ziqu just nodded flatly and had no other reaction. It didn't like this behavior of humans very much.

"Okay, City Lord Qi, it will probably take us two or three days to make repairs on our return trip. During this time, you should also prepare and gather more soldiers."

Qi Gang did not dare to underestimate this young man who could use the Heavenly Beast King as a mount. When he heard this, his eyes flashed and he asked: "Master Jiang, what do you mean?"

"Of course we fought back!" Jiang Yan grinned and showed a cold smile: "Don't you think the Shengyun Kingdom is a bit small for this small territory?"

…

The day after the battle of Iron Fang City, in the core area of ​​the Barbarian Bone Mountains, there was a newly built stronghold.

Jiang Yan was in the training room engraved with the Yuan Gathering Formation. He slowly woke up from his deep training state, stretched out, and looked at the energy of heaven and earth that was slowly reuniting after being exhausted in the training room.

"In just a few days, the efficiency of the Yuan Gathering Array has been compared to the accumulation of those strongholds in the inner area in a month. It is indeed the energy node located in this core area. Thanks to this, my cultivation level

It also accelerated a lot again.”

Jiang Yan scanned his current attributes.

————

Local name: Jiang Yan

Version level: Level 2

realm:

[Martial Arts] The sixth level of innateness, the realm of returning to the origin (94 acupoints have been refined)

[Taoist Master] The ninth level of Taoist Master (99% completion rate)

Attributes:

Essence 0.0, Qi 0.0, God 19.0

Program software: slightly

network:

[Intranet] 14681 (indicates the mental power of the slave machine, based on the mental capacity of an adult human being 1)

[External Network] 415051 (indicates the available mental power of external network members, mainly extracted from network platform users)

————

The progress in martial arts practice is gratifying, but what is even more remarkable is the cultivation of Taoist masters.

After completing the strategy of the strange beast circle in the Barbarian Bone Mountains, the number of sub-machine units under Jiang Yan's command has experienced a surge. His quantified mental power reserves have exceeded the six-digit mark. Even on the external network, they have collected

It reached more than 400,000.

Jiang Yan only used less than one-tenth of such a huge mental power reserve as supplies, and also used the stock of 'spiritual crystals' that the ruby ​​blood bees had stored up for many days to enhance their divine energy cultivation.

After using most of it, he pushed his Taoist cultivation level to the limit of the second and ninth levels, only a little short of the third level.

Jiang Yan looked at the data indicating the network's mental power reserve and suddenly sighed: "Unfortunately, when I advance to level three and condense my true spirit, after the spiritual level is improved, these powers in the network will be more powerful.

The effect of low-level mental power reserves will be reduced exponentially, and even the effect of borrowing the 'Spirit Eater' skill to replenish the consumption of divine energy will become less effective than before."

Jiang Yan took an inward look at his sea of ​​consciousness, and found that there were nine true Taoist talismans flowing with subtle auras. These true Taoist talismans were like concentric circles, stacked three-dimensionally on top of each other layer by layer.

Together, they formed a large ball of light made of countless rune patterns. It seemed like the sun occupied the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, and there were rays of spiritual light outside that illuminated the entire space of the sea of ​​consciousness.

The large ball of light constructed from these Taoist talismans is like an egg cocoon, and the nine-fold Taoist talisman is the outer shell. In the center, there seems to be a vague, ethereal, silvery little flame.

"Silver? It looks very similar to the vision when the power was first awakened. Then this is probably the image of my soul, right? It's just that it hasn't been condensed and formed yet. The construction of the ninth level Taoist true seed is still to the end.

A trace is also the most difficult trace."

Looking carefully, the talisman cocoon composed of nine Taoist talismans seems to be a little incongruous, which leads to the imperfection of this talisman cocoon. This is why the practice progress displayed on the attribute bar is 99

% reason.

Jiang Yan needs to perfectly integrate these nine levels of Taoist talismans before his cultivation can be considered complete.

Jiang Yan has tried several times, but has not been able to make up for this slight flaw. He may have encountered a bottleneck.

Jiang Yan felt that there would be no gains in the short term if he continued, so he decided to end this practice.

'Cultivation requires a balance of relaxation and balance between work and rest. Maybe if you relax well, you can find an opportunity for a breakthrough?'

Jiang Yan came out of the training room, took a bath and changed clothes, and after taking care of his physiological needs, he began to deal with the affairs report submitted by Zhinao.

"Oh? The rulers of Shengyun Kingdom, and the core members of the Yun family and the Feng family have basically joined Hongyulou?" Jiang Yan was slightly surprised after seeing a piece of information.

Although the terms of the agreement he gave to these two partners were very loose, Jiang Yan was a little surprised that they decided to fully join in so quickly.

In the contract list, Jiang Yan even saw a few very familiar names such as Yun Yi, Yun Ji, Feng Qianfu, etc. He originally thought that they would only send a few younger generations to join in a short period of time, but he did not expect that the current generation of powerful people would

Also joined in.

At this moment, Sheng Yunguo has truly become a force directly under Jiang Yan, with the same nature as Hongyu Tower.

"What happened?"

"Lord Luo Yun sent them the battlefield records of our battle in Iron Tooth City, and also informed them of the rule that the "Thunder Array Railgun" can only be used by our internal personnel."

Weapons like the Thunder Array Railgun are similar to firearms in the modern technological world. Even ordinary people can use them. It is so powerful that even innate masters have to take it seriously. When Jiang Yan takes it outside and uses it, it will naturally attract a lot of attention.

coveted.

We are not afraid of thieves stealing it, but we are afraid that thieves will miss it. For this reason, this kind of weapon is equipped with a safety device, which is called an ‘auxiliary crystal’.

The principle is similar to the network platform login device. It is a crystal that seals the dormant larvae of the Ruby Blood Bee. It is directly connected to the control array inside the gun body. It can actively perform locking or even self-destruct operations at critical moments. Unless it is disassembled

If the gun body is removed, this auxiliary crystal cannot be removed.
