Crow Market is more than 1,400 kilometers away from Gray Horn City. The aerospace boat traveled at a speed of thirty knots, about fifty kilometers per hour. It flew slowly for a day and a night, and finally arrived the next morning.
It is now the turn of spring and summer, and the climate is humid. Looking around, the wasteland is covered in white. The aerostat gradually descended, and the outline of the city was revealed in the center of the white mist.
The tall stone walls bring people warmth and safety, but the rolling masses of withered grass at the foot of the city always remind them of the coldness and ruthlessness of the wilderness.
This is the northern wilderness, a barren land with sparse vegetation and dry rivers.
However, in terms of water resources, Gray Point City is much better than Edge Town deep in the wilderness. Every summer, the rainfall in the Dragon Tooth Mountains increases dramatically, and the Ambergris River has sufficient water, and the dry tributaries will be reborn.
As long as there is a large enough reservoir, water use will not be a problem. The edge town can only rely on groundwater, and the main source of groundwater is one or two heavy snows in winter, which seeps into the ground after melting.
Greyhorn City is located in the center of the northern wilderness. It focuses on management and trade, and radiates to six surrounding large towns and hundreds of edge towns.
People in the northern wilderness are proud to own a two-bedroom apartment in Gray Point City. Once upon a time, this was also Chen Xing’s dream. I dream of building a love nest here with the girl who plays the piano.
However, the little dream was still shattered by the cruel reality...
But he knew that it had passed and became a distant memory.
The courier in the previous life, the mercenary team leader, the mayor in this life, and the future lord.
When he looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar city with different identities, he felt filled with emotion. To him now, the dream he had back then can be realized with just a twitch of his little finger, as small as dust.
Why was it so desired back then, but now so readily available?
This is what it means to be powerful.
When a person becomes strong, things that were previously unavailable will become easy.
Cross that line and everything that once was becomes small. Love, hatred, honor and disgrace, gain and loss, are all passing by.
Stopping for a temporary material need, forgetting to move forward for an uncertain love. Then what you end up with is likely to be bitter.
So he firmly believes that the only way to realize his dream is to make himself strong, rather than relying on someone's charity.
Give away property, give away love, or something else.
"Master, did you remember something?" Jian Yue Canglian said softly. She saw her master looking at the city below in ecstasy, with deep eyes and a hint of sadness in the silence. She couldn't help but feel her heartstrings tremble and her heart beat fast.
It was an indescribable feeling that directly broke through her defenses, leading her to commit an act of transgression.
As a maid, how can I figure out the Lord?
However, she just couldn't help her curiosity and wanted to know everything about this man. She secretly made up her mind to receive one hundred lashes at night and severely punish herself.
"Hmm..." Chen Xing nodded thoughtfully.
"What are you remembering?" Jian Yue Canglian asked, mentally giving herself another hundred lashes.
"a lot of……"
"Probably, what's the matter?" Jian Yue Canglian received another hundred lashes, and now it's three hundred lashes.
"can not say it clearly……"
"Ah..." Finally, she gave up. My heart is filled with sincerity and my whole body is bowed to the ground. As expected, the master's thoughts were not something that a stupid maid like her could guess. The master is the deep sea and the majestic mountains. Follow the master with her eyes closed and give her whole body and soul to the master. This is what she should do.
"Actually, it's not hard to explain."
"That is?" the maid asked subconsciously, and then received another hundred lashes.
"Oh, let's not talk about it anymore."
"Why?"
"I don't know where to start..."
"ah……"
Without her master's knowledge, the poor maid received five hundred lashes. Because it is necessary to ensure that the skin is smooth and clean the next day, so as to be able to receive the master's blessings at any time, he can only receive ten lashes in one night. Then for the next fifty days, I will have to bear the pain of whipping every night.
If Chen Xing knew, he would definitely be pardoned. With such an enlightened head maid, what more can I ask for? The problem is, he doesn't know anything.
A moment later, the aerostat landed outside the city.
The reason why he did not choose to land on the rooftop of the five-star hotel in the city was because Chen Xing's reputation in Gray Corner City was not very good. It can be said that he destroyed the Yang family, and the wealthy family definitely didn't like him, so he chose to keep a low profile.
Chen Xing asked everyone to stand by on the aeroboat and rode his motorcycle into the city alone.
Gray Point City is different from Crow City back then. Gray Point City receives residents from the northern wilderness. It is not considered a modern city, and there are no such strict restrictions on entry and exit.
Crow City and Lizard City require suspension vehicles when entering and exiting to ensure the cleanliness of city roads. Ice Blue City is more strict and requires carriages, but Gray Horn City requires nothing, just drive in directly.
After waiting for a while at a cafe near Ye Yang's house, the third uncle came. This cafe was purchased by Chen Xing and given to his third uncle as a gift. When the waiter saw his third uncle coming, he immediately went to help him get his crutches and hat.
Originally, the third uncle didn't like Chen Xing very much. In his eyes, Chen Xing was just a charlatan. My grandniece suffered a lot. However, after getting to know him during this period of time, I felt that this young man was calm and mature, and he couldn't find any faults in his behavior. If my grandniece follows him, she will not have to endure hardships in the future, and she will feel relieved.
He is different from other members of the Ye Yang family. When a person reaches his destiny, he is indifferent to gains and losses. As long as his descendants can be happy and safe, that's fine.
"What are your plans for coming this time?" Third Uncle asked openly and straightforwardly. He is open-minded and straightforward, and has no habit of beating around the bush.
"I want to learn the spirit quenching technique from you." Chen Xing poured coffee for his third uncle and said seriously.
"This is simple, and it's not a secret. You can learn it in two or three days." The third uncle said casually.
In this world, apart from the ancestral skills of big families, most of them can be found in books. Spirit Tempering is a bit off-the-beaten-path, but it’s not a secret. You can learn it by going to White Tower Academy or Black Tower Academy and spending a little money.
"That's great!" Chen Xing said happily, "When can we start learning?"
"Let me talk to you about the theory first..." Third uncle took a sip of coffee and spoke.
"The art of spirit quenching originated from the weapon refining technique of the New Zen Taoism and has a history of three thousand years. The so-called weapon refining is to take the essence and discard the dross. After hundreds of generations of weapon refiners persevered in pursuit, when the spiritual energy was revived in the great catastrophe, it was finally Become a great weapon."
“But it only takes hundreds of years for spiritual energy to revive. Compared with civilizations that have existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, humankind’s weapon refining skills have always lagged behind, so it is impossible to create real magic weapons, let alone fake weapons in the undercurrent of time and space. "
PS:
Several friends have suggested that the levels of the power system are somewhat vague, and they should be sorted out.
Ordinary people - quasi-elite level
A force-sensitive body with a single attribute exceeding 15 or spiritual awakening, using primary evolution potion or exercise, is slightly stronger than ordinary people, and can use one or two spiritual skills.
Once spiritual energy is awakened, a spiritual pool will be opened in the body, but spiritual energy awakening is not a necessary condition for this stage.
Quasi-elite level - elite level
The single attribute of the force-sensitive body exceeds 25 or the spiritual power is 20, and the single attribute of the force-sensitive body is not less than 15. If you use primary evolution potion or exercise, you will be much stronger than ordinary people. You can use one or two spiritual skills.
Awakening of spiritual energy is not a necessary condition for this stage, but those who cannot condense the spiritual pool will stop here.
Elite level - big elite level
If the single attribute of the force-sensitive body exceeds 30 and the tower is on the 1st floor, and the single attribute of the force-sensitive body is not less than 20, the effect of the primary evolution potion gradually weakens and is beyond the reach of ordinary people. You can use two or three spiritual skills.
Great Elite Level - Quasi-Guardian Level (Level Breakthrough)
The primary evolution potion is completely ineffective. Use the intermediate potion to make a breakthrough, but your physical fitness is not up to standard and cannot be used. Forcible use will cause blood vessels to burst.
At this stage, the three attributes of the force-sensitive body are no longer the main criteria, and the development of spiritual power takes up half of the position.
The three attributes of the force-sensitive body average above 40, and the casting tower has 2 to 3 floors.
Quasi-guardian level--guardian level
Use intermediate potions or advanced potions to improve the three attributes of force-sensitive body.
The average sex value is above 50, and the casting tower has 3 to 4 floors.
Guard level - big guard level
The effect of intermediate potions gradually weakens, and high-level potions or exercises are mainly used.
The three attributes of the force-sensitive body have reached the limit of species talent, and the casting tower has reached level 5.
This stage is the limit of evolution that human beings can achieve on their own, and beyond that, external forces must be used.
With the help of ancestors or special opportunities, you can use the inherited or natal imperial spirit in advance.
Great Guard Level - Quasi-Lord Level (Level Breakthrough)
The advanced evolution potion is completely ineffective, use the gold flowing potion to make a breakthrough. Gold-liquid potions are extremely expensive and their effects vary greatly depending on the species' crystal core. Breakthrough requires higher individual talent, which requires sensing the earth's veins, extracting the power of the earth's core, and opening up a shadow pool in the personal domain.
Stealing Fire Level 1, Shadow Pool*1, communicates the undercurrent of time and space, guides the Yuling into the personal realm and drives it.
Quasi-lord level - lord level
Stealing Fire Level 2, Shadow Pool*3
At this stage, the realm is very stable. It is easy to communicate with the undercurrents of time and space or to drive the Yuling. You can have several powerful Yulings, and some strong ones can condense the destiny weapons.
Destiny weapons are weapons or armors that are condensed based on the information in the individual's life mark and fit personal characteristics.
Lord level - great lord level
Stealing Fire Level 3, Shadow Pool*7
This stage is the peak of the fire-stealing stage, and it is also a shackle. No more energy can be extracted from the earth's veins, and one needs to borrow power from the void.
Great Lord Level - Little King Level (Breakthrough)
The realm materializes, and its edges touch the void.
Extract energy directly from the void and have a large spirit army or false gods
Small King Level - Large King Level (Breakthrough)
The realm materializes, and part of it enters the void.
Extracting a large amount of energy from the void, it has a super-large reproducible spirit guarding army and multiple false gods, and can use body tissue to create powerful natal guarding spirits.
The renewable legion is the Yuling production base, such as the armored warrior factory, the banshee camp, the lich cemetery, etc.
Great King Level - Emperor Level (theoretical breakthrough)
At a level that only exists in theory, the personal realm is completely separated from the original universe and becomes a self-contained entity. At the beginning of the great enlightenment, the individual becomes the universe.
The current levels of some of the main characters.
Alia, a great king-level, destroys the legion (most of which have production bases), creates the soul-controlling and world-destroying demon eyes.
Trilis, the great king-level, succubus army (most of which have production bases), created the queen of thorns to control the spirit.
Red Dragon Grand Duke, Little King Level, False God Red Dragon
Michael Rolo, Little King Class, Golden Legion (a small number of them have production bases)
Li Zhi, the national master of the Silver Claw Principality, is a high lord and a ghost attendant. The rest are unknown.
Marquis Haitang, Lord Level, Twelve Knights of the Round Table
Duncan, quasi-lord, Roman legion
Yeyang Bailiu, quasi-lord level, big sun-breaking magic gun, seven-color deer, (old bark, unknown)
Lacey, quasi-lord level, white snake, (ancient beast tooth, unknown)
Chen Xing, great guard level, destined to be the White Wolf King
The third uncle, a great guard-level man, originally had the Great Sun Demon-Breaking Spear but was taken away by Ye Yang Bailiu.
Hua Beidou, Great Guard Level, Fake Buddha Arm
Arqiaomu, great guard level
Jianyue Canglian, guard level
Qin Gui, guard level
Tienuo, guard level
Huozui, big elite level
Cassie, big elite level
