Shen Qian recognized Yao Jinyang because he had recently integrated into the geocentric city and happened to see some rankings.
In the real world of mountains and seas, because each strong person has different areas of expertise, level of realm, magical powers and secrets, and combat power is often a personal privacy, unless he is an outlier like Shen Qian who has the eye of truth, otherwise It is difficult to make intuitive judgments about other warriors.
Gradually, "the number of years of residence in the geocentric city" became a recognized criterion.
Although the data related to money may not be completely accurate, most of the time, this number can still explain a lot.
After all, in a sense, a Shanhai's ability to make money is directly proportional to his strength.
Not to mention that usually only the best among the mountains and seas can receive a residence award of more than several decades at a time.
As for those like Jiang Huan who have obtained the right of permanent residence, they are rare among the mountains and seas... Although Shen Qian also obtained the "right of permanent residence", the joint recommendation from the prince is a special case, and Shen Qian did not It's spread everywhere, but not many people know about it.
According to Shen Qian's understanding during this period, those who can have the right to live in the inner city for more than fifty years are generally considered to be well-known strong men in the mountains and seas, including the veteran strong men above the seventh level of mountains and seas, mid-level The range from the first ban to the second ban of Shanhai...are usually qualified to serve as the city lord of the capital of unimportant provinces and regions, such as the level of city lord of Kuncheng.
Mountain and sea warriors who have lived in the core city for more than a hundred years are already among the best. They have a relatively loud reputation in a province. They can also hold positions above director level among the nine ministries. Generally, they are not only the mountain and sea warriors In the later stage, there are also blessings from second to third bans.
Further up, there are those powerful people from the mountains and seas who have obtained the right to live in the inner city for more than three hundred years. At this level, they are well-known even in the inner city and will be recognized in many gatherings of mountains and seas. Mention generally refers to the mountains and seas above the Four Forbidden Areas.
As for those who can reach this point in the taboo field, their normal cultivation level will not be lower than the seventh level of mountains and seas, and their combat power is extremely terrifying. If they take up social positions, they can be enough to govern a province, and even serve as deputy positions in the nine departments, or in the military. The commander of an army of warriors.
Most of the three powerful mountains and seas that Ling Xiao and Shen Qian had discussed before, namely the resurrected ancient warriors, the prison guarding mountains and seas, and the mountains and seas that walk behind the "door" all year round, are all in this range. Ning Quan, the son of Ning Gong, can be regarded as one of the representatives.
If you can transcend this level and have the right to reside in the inner city for more than five hundred years, you will already be a top figure in the mountains and seas.
This small group of people either have unique opportunities, almost unlimited resource support, or have mysterious origins. Among the people Shen Qian knows so far, if Cheng Qingqing, who has tried his best to show the form of a big demon, is considered one, Tantai Qin Counted as one, third senior brother Shi Dingyan is a little behind, fourth senior brother Wu Jun may also be at this level...
There are also Xu Nian, the second disciple of Duke Yanshan, and those specific characters with long-standing legends in the inner city.
They broke the rules of the mountains and seas, and even had a certain ability to resist the princes. For example, outside the Nine Heavens Battlefield last time, Tantai Qin could briefly resist the princes. Going further, Xu Nian also had a chance to resist the princes before he was exiled. Escape from the princes.
According to Shen Qian's own understanding, to achieve this step, it means that they have at least more than 300,000 combat power, and they must have all kinds of shocking trump cards.
This is also the level that Shen Qian's body is currently trying to get closer to. Without using the regular combat power of the "Ten Directions Creation Body", a big killer, Shen Qian estimates that he can barely reach the third level, at the same level as Ning Quan. field.
As for special cases like Jiang Huan, they are no longer within the scope of normal discussion. He is a person who truly stands on the top of mountains and seas and sees all the small mountains.
According to the rumors Shen Qian heard recently, many people are already treating senior brother as a prince, and will not even call Jiang Huan by his first name to show some respect.
The Yao Jinyang who had a broken leg in front of him and looked extremely miserable, in Shen Qian's memory, had at least three to four hundred years of residence in the inner city of the earth, and was definitely a first-class strong man in the mountains and seas.
This can also be confirmed from the shocked whispers in the ears.
Buzz!
At this time, the formation inscriptions carved on the huge slope suddenly lit up, and the strong light shone on the square, completely covering Yao Jinyang and his party.
The warm feeling spread out, the faces of Yao Jinyang and others softened, and their bodies were reflected in every detail.
Come and try it quickly. 】
"This should be a formation that combines recovery and purification. It may also be used for detection. I feel the mental power of a prince..."
Shen Qian observed the formation, and as a fake formation master, he also judged a lot of things.
After the light passed, it seemed to be confirmed that these returning mountain and sea warriors had no hidden problems. Dozens of warriors wearing white medical uniforms entered the square. Under the command of a young man, they fed Yao Jinyang and others the elixir, and began Accept the placement of the wounded.
Shen Qian took a closer look and saw that this young man was still an acquaintance. It was Wei Sijian whom he had not seen for a long time.
Wei Sijian originally also held some research positions in the First Province of the Southwest, so it was normal for the other party to appear at the command headquarters of the Southwest Theater. He also mentioned it when he contacted Shen Qian Bracelet before.
Wei Sijian led the team and sent Yao Jinyang and others into the special passage. Shen Qian vaguely heard Yao Jinyang saying something emotionally, but soon as the special alloy door closed, the two voices also followed. submerged.
At this time, some discussions around him became louder.
"Only a dozen of the sixty people came back. Isn't this casualty rate too exaggerated? How can the A-level 'Sect' be so terrifying?"
"The people who left the fortress were all the elites of the mountains and seas. I heard that the mountain city also recruited hundreds of mountain and sea powerhouses from the society. I don't know how many people came out alive..."
"I'm more worried that the threat of this A-level 'gate' has not been completely eliminated. I don't know which teams will receive the order next time..."
Everyone was talking, but suddenly they all fell silent as they didn't know who said something.
As the crowd dispersed, Shen Qian and Dao Jiu also walked back. On the way, they saw Dao Jiu looking strange. Shen Qian couldn't help but ask, "Why, are there anyone you know in those teams?"
"No." Dao Jiu, who had a gloomy expression, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how to express it, I just feel... it feels so terrible, more than forty mountains and seas, more than forty... never again Can’t come back…”
Shen Qian was a little stunned at first, but then he roughly understood Dao Jiu's thoughts.
Shanhai... are all highly respected strong men in society.
Back then, in order to achieve Shanhai, Daojiu would rather choose "harmony" and give up a broader future. Even so, he only passed the assessment of Qianxing Society after going through hardships and got an opportunity.
But here, just now, Dao Jiu experienced an unprecedented cruelty.
The sense of superiority belonging to the mountains and seas was completely destroyed in the face of the huge casualties. It was as if he suddenly discovered that the mountains and seas would die in pieces in the face of this level of disaster, and they were no different from ordinary warriors...
Kakebi Shenqian, who had never walked an ordinary road, didn't know how to comfort Dao Jiu, so he could only silently pat the other party's shoulder.
"Brother Shen!"
At this time, an excited shout came from behind, attracting many people's attention.
Shen Qian knew who was coming without looking back. He slowed down a bit, waiting for Wei Sijian to catch up after walking through the crowd.
"Brother Shen, I saw you in the square just now. It's just that the wounded must be put in place first. It's really troublesome to solve something that can be solved with just one pill..."
Wei Sijian, who came up to him, was chattering away, and when he opened his mouth, he felt a familiar taste.
"Are you in charge of the medical care here?" After not seeing each other for a long time, Shen Qian felt very cordial when he saw Wei Sijian and asked with a smile.
"Well, that's not entirely true. There is also a spiritual doctor at the base, and he and I are usually responsible together."
Wei Sijian raised his chin reservedly, pretending to inadvertently highlight a badge hanging on his chest.
Shen Qian noticed the existence of the badge and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Are you already a master of alchemy?"
"Not as good as Brother Shen, but yes... I just passed the two-star alchemy master exam last month." Wei Sijian chuckled.
Only then did Shen Qian understand why the other party could sit on an equal footing with a spiritual doctor and be directly responsible for the medical care in the southwest region... "Spiritual Doctor" is an advanced title for an associate professional physician, which is equivalent to the status of a master alchemist.
"Professor Cheng Shanhe should be very pleased." Shen Qian nodded with some emotion.
Wei Sijian was only in his early twenties. Although he was not as outrageous as Shen Qian who was already a seven-star alchemy master before he was eighteen years old, he was definitely a rare genius.
"Don't mention that old man... The main reason why I became a master of alchemy is because of Brother Shen's credit."
Facing Shen Qian's confused look, Wei Sijian explained, "That little notebook..."
Only then did Shen Qian remember that in order to trick Wei Sijian into helping him, Shen Qian had answered many of his questions. Of course, it was mainly because of the system's intervention. Thinking of this, Shen Qian couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Ahem, actually I didn't do anything. The main reason is that you have a solid foundation and Professor Cheng's vigorous cultivation..."
"Brother Shen, I don't like hearing what you say. Did the teacher ask you to brainwash me?"
Wei Sijian suddenly said vigilantly, "Tell him, it is impossible for me to get engaged to a woman from that princely family. Love is the most vulgar pursuit of human beings...and that woman's arms are so thick."
"What's this mess?"
Shen Qian couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't expect Wei Sijian to be worried about being forced to get married.
He shook his head and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked: "I saw that Yao Jinyang had a dispute with you just now. What was the specific reason?"
"Oh, he's not arguing with me, he just wants to see Qingcheng Hou or Ling Tianhou as soon as possible."
Wei Sijian waved his hand and said, "Don't you think he's funny? Am I the one who has the final say whether the elders see him or not?"
"Why is he so anxious to see the prince?" Shen Qian asked doubtfully.
Qingchenghou and Lingtianhou are the two princes responsible for the southwest war zone, and they also have the authority to dispatch all patrol teams.
"I don't know much about this, but looking at his expression, he seemed to be suppressing something. I was worried that he had PTSD, so I didn't dare to talk to him more, so I ran away after a few perfunctory words..."
Wei Sijian thought for a moment and then clicked his tongue, "But what happened this time is really weird. Even if it's an A-level 'door', it shouldn't have such heavy casualties."
Shen Qian nodded slightly. Although this was the second A-level "door" to be opened, whether it was one hundred and thirteen years ago or the early days of spiritual energy recovery, human warriors had no shortage of experience in dealing with A-level "doors".
According to the manual, the C-level "Gate" represents a certain degree of danger to mountain and sea warriors, but can be entered alone, the B-level "Gate" represents a higher degree of danger, and at least multiple mountains and seas must be entered in teams, and the A-level "Gate" It often means extremely high danger, and it is usually recommended to operate in units of a hundred people in coordination with the army.
Even so, the casualty rate is normally at most 20% to 30%, and it is extremely rare to see more than two-thirds of the damage and nearly all of them seriously injured.
After chatting with Wei Sijian for a while and getting a lot of information about the inside of the fortress, Shen Qian said goodbye to him and walked to the rest area with Dao Jiu.
Each patrol team was assigned an exclusive lounge. Under Dao Jiu's guidance, the two quickly arrived at the third underground floor of the rest area and found the lounge numbered 037 at the corner of a corridor.
When he opened the door, Dao Jiu suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten to tell Shen Qian something, but before he could speak, Shen Qian had already walked into the lounge first.
Standing at the door of the lounge, Shen Qian looked at the environment in front of him.
The entire lounge is divided into two floors. In the middle of the first floor is an open public activity area, surrounded by small gyms and training rooms. A master version of the martial arts simulator is placed in the corner. In addition to a conference room on the second floor, All are rest rooms.
“The environment is not bad...”
Shen Qian nodded subconsciously at first, and then realized something was wrong.
Quiet.
It's so quiet here.
In the perception of spiritual power, the existence of anger is almost invisible.
As the captain of the old team, he naturally had the hidden privilege of arriving at the base on the last day, but in theory everyone else should have arrived.
Dao Jiu, who followed, looked embarrassed. Just as he was about to say something, chatter, laughter and the sound of approaching footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
A moment later, several familiar figures appeared at the door of the lounge. They were all wearing uniform combat uniforms, each carrying a silver metal box. When they saw Shen Qian, they were stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"Shen Qian... no, I should call you captain now, you are finally here."
Qu Bai smiled first.
Others also smiled and said hello to Shen Qian.
In addition to Qu Bai, Lin Sanmo, Zhao Keyi, Bai Fei, Sha Bi, Cao Yi and Mu Ziyan were also on the list, but they were all old acquaintances of Shen Qian.
Shen Qian smiled at first, and then his expression darkened unconsciously.
Even if Qu Bai and others are included, there are only nine people in front of them, and theoretically... there should be eleven more team members here.
No matter how dull Shen Qian was, he realized the problem at this time.
