"It turns out to be a city defense facility," Huang Ming knew now.
It's no wonder that Huang Ming is a modern person. Not to mention that he has never been to a sect of cultivating immortals. He has never been to an ancient city for mortals. I don't know how normal it is.
But this time it was Emma's turn to be curious.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, don't you have city defense facilities in Daxia?"
"Well, yes, but our immortal cultivators and mortal martial cultivators in Daxia are separated. Immortal cultivators all live in the mountains, and only mortals and martial cultivators live in the city, so the city's defense facilities are all aimed at mortals."
Huang Ming started making up again.
"Is cultivating immortals and mortal martial cultivators separate? Then how do you manage the mortals and martial cultivators in Daxia?"
"Do they manage it themselves? Our mortals and martial cultivators in Great Xia have emperors. They established their country with martial arts and entered Taoism through martial arts. Once they are promoted to become immortal cultivators, they have to leave the mortal city and join the immortal cultivating sect," Huang Ming continued.
"Can mortals and martial cultivators also become emperors? Once they become immortal cultivators, they have to leave the city and join a cultivating sect?"
Emma looked confused. She had never heard of what Huang Ming said.
"Yes, we immortal cultivators need time to practice. How can we have so much time to care about mortals and martial cultivators?"
"But what if you Daxia mortals and martial cultivators disobey the immortal cultivators' management?"
"No, mortal martial arts cultivators listen to the emperor, but the emperor has to listen to immortal cultivators. This is called hierarchical management."
"Hierarchical management? Well, I understand. No wonder you, Daxia, are the strongest among the three major human races. Not only do you have six major sects of immortal cultivators, but there are also branches of casual cultivators. It turns out that you spend all your time managing mortals cultivating. , Well, not bad, this is really a good idea.”
Emma was led into a ditch again by Huang Ming.
"But what I'm talking about is normal. If a beast wave really breaks out in the Savage Beast Continent, then we cultivators will definitely have to take care of it."
Huang Ming finally came around. If he continued talking about this, he would have to tell Emma about Chinese history.
Emma nodded: "Well, yes, the matter in the Savage Continent concerns our entire human race. When I meet my father later, you must explain your investigation in detail and let them know that this matter is serious."
"Don't worry, it's just that my eloquence is not as good as that Liangdan. If I can't explain clearly, you have to help me."
"Yes, I will. My father is very sensible. Besides, this is a major event for our human race."
While chatting, the team escorting the spirit stone had unknowingly arrived in front of the largest castle on the top of the mountain.
This is an ancient castle with a style similar to a Mayan temple. It has a base, steps, and a pile of square boulders. It is extremely majestic and tall. There are two huge humanoid statues holding weapons behind the entrance.
Outside the castle is a large square, surrounded by flowers, plants and trees. There is a fountain in the middle. Standing in this square, you can overlook the Silver City at the foot of the mountain. The scenery is good.
As soon as the team entered the square, a dozen alchemy cultivators came forward and led Elder Hong and others to unload the spiritual stones.
Huang Ming and Emma followed a young man who was also in the late Jindan stage and entered the main entrance of the castle. The head of Jiyin Castle, Emma's father, and several infant elders had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
After entering the castle and walking along the corridor for a few minutes, a main hall appeared. Huang Ming finally arrived at the sect hall of Jiyin Castle, one of the four major immortal cultivating sects in Baiyi Realm, and truly saw the Yuan Dynasty in this world. Infant monk.
Emma's father is in the late Yuan Ying period. He sits at the head of the hall. He has broad shoulders and a thick back, a big belly and a round waist. He has a curly beard, white brows, big eyebrows, and a golden ring on his head. He is very majestic, but unlike Ai. Ma looks nothing like her.
It seems that Emma should have followed her mother, and her mother should also be a great beauty.
On the left side of Emma's father sat two elders in the early Yuanying stage, and on the right was an empty chair. It should have been the seat of the elder in the middle Yuan stage among the three elders in Jiyin Castle, but for some reason he did not come.
Emma led him to the center of the hall, then took a step forward and bowed slightly to his father and the two elders.
"Emma paid a visit to her father and met the two elders."
Huang Ming next to him breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was going to kneel down, but he was a little resistant in his heart. Now he's fine.
"Well, just come back. How did things go?"
Emma's father asked expressionlessly.
"Back to my father, the spirit stone mine has been cleaned up. The last batch contains forty-two top-grade earth attribute spirit stones. There are 13,200 high-level spirit stones, 134,300 mid-level spirit stones, and 134,300 low-level spirit stones. Two hundred and thirty-six thousand and fifty."
"Well, that's right. I, Elba, said you have other important things to report?"
Emma's father nodded and asked.
"Yes, father, the cleanup of the Lingshi Mine went smoothly, but we encountered wild beasts when we evacuated. All the fellow immortal cultivators who went with me to escort the Lingshi Mine were killed."
"All killed?"
One of the early Nascent Soul elders sitting on the left side of Emma's father was startled.
Emma's father also frowned.
"There are originally six people in the spirit mine, and together with you and Witte, there are eight immortal cultivators. What kind of beast would kill them all? What exactly happened, Emma, please tell me in detail."
"Yes, father," Emma continued.
"We finished cleaning the spirit stone mine and were about to return that day, but as soon as we opened the illusion array, we found more than twenty level five savage beasts of different types rushing towards the gate of the wilderness."
"In order to buy time to protect the spirit stone, I asked the low-level martial arts cultivator to protect the spirit stone and leave first. Witte and I took the six immortal cultivators from the mine and the senior martial arts cultivators from the Flash Silver Sect to stop the attack."
"You encountered more than twenty different types of fifth-level beasts?"
The elder who was surprised before interrupted again.
"How is that possible? The spirit stone mine is in the wilderness plain. There are only savage beasts below level three there. Moreover, different savages can fight with each other, so how can they attack you together?"
Another elder also interjected.
"Elders, can you let me finish my words?"
Emma's words were constantly interrupted, and she became a little angry.
"Okay, elders, please be patient. Emma, please continue."
Emma's father spoke.
"Father, actually this time, not long after Wit and I arrived at the Lingshi Mine, the camp outside the Silver Gate guarding the water source was attacked by wild beasts."
"Just in case, I advanced the hunting mission of Shanyinmen and temporarily decided not to eat the beasts' meat. They only needed to stay outside the Thousand Needles Earth Forest for a month. I didn't expect them to encounter the beasts. They almost completely annihilated"
"Almost all the Shanyinmen were wiped out?"
This time it was Emma and her father who were surprised.
"Emma, what's going on? Tell me from the beginning."
"Back to my father, according to Elder Hong who survived the Shanyin Gate, they entered the wilderness plain for more than 20 days and encountered almost no savage beasts. They only encountered a level four hard beast on the fifth day of defense outside Thousand Needles Earth Forest. "Skin Jackal Beast"
"But five or six days later, dozens of different second- and third-level savage beasts suddenly rushed out of Thousand Needles Earth Forest. Almost all the Shanyinmen were wiped out. Rambo led people to lure away more than ten of them, and the rest rushed to Lingyinmen. Maomaoqing camp where the stone mine is located”
"So it's like this, well, the beasts in Thousand Needles Earth Forest range from level one to level six. It's not surprising that dozens of level two and three beasts rush out, but you eight immortal cultivators plus the hundreds of martial arts cultivators who have mined are still almost The whole army was wiped out, which is a bit unexpected.”
"Father, that's not the case. What we encountered was Level 5, not these Level 2 or 3."
Emma continued quickly.
"The two or three savage beasts that rushed to the Lingshi Mine were killed by two Daxia immortal cultivators. They happened to be passing by. Not only did they kill the savage beasts, they also saved Elder Hong from the Flash Silver Sect and several other martial cultivators."
"Da Xia Cultivation?"
Emma's father was taken aback, and the two elders also showed some surprise.
"Yes, father, these two Daxia martial arts cultivators went to the Savage Beast Continent to investigate the huge changes in the environment. Later, when we came out of the Lingshi Mine, we encountered more than 20 different types of fifth-level brutal beasts, and it was they who came to rescue us."
Emma finally finished her sentence.
