In the past hundreds of years, the Zhenyang Palace has launched many campaigns against the southern mountains.
Among them, large-scale battles can usually be exchanged for twenty or thirty years of stability.
This time, only ten years later, there were changes due to the demonic infection.
"This is roughly how it is arranged."
Grandma Sanzu has participated in many battles against the southern mountains and has rich experience.
The Fourth Ancestor, on the other hand, has dabbled in various classics, including books on the art of war, military formations, hunting, etc.
The arrangement of the two ancestors gave Lu Wan a set of defense methods centered on the seventh mountain city.
After this method was passed down, many generals in the Seventh Mountain City were all shocked.
Even Taoist Li Shou of the Chengming Tianshi Mansion had complex expressions on his face.
"This boy is young and has developed such skills. It stands to reason that he is a 'Taoist' who is obsessed with Tao and has no time to care about anything else."
"Why is he so skilled in arranging troops, as if he is a famous general who has led troops for many years?"
"The person chosen by Leizu's power is actually an all-rounder?"
Taoist Li Shou's eyes were complicated, and he remembered yesterday's contest with Lu Wan.
The cultivation level of the sixth level of Daoji.
It is beyond the scope of the normal peak of Daoji Realm.
Compared to when he was at the peak of the Daoji realm, it was almost the same.
Looking at the geniuses in the direct line of the imperial court and the oldest Taoist inheritance in the Chengming Tianshi Mansion, I am afraid that no one in the Taoist realm can be his opponent.
Unfortunately, he, Lu Wan, has not even reached the peak of Daoji Realm, but he already possesses such abilities.
Such a genius, if he were to learn about it in ordinary situations, he would definitely be amazed.
But compared with Lu Wan's record of killing three major casting cauldrons in one day, and the rumored record of killing the great cauldron casting cauldron, it seems a bit inadequate.
"Yesterday when I competed with Pindao, he didn't try his best."
Taoist Li Shou thought like this, his eyes became more complicated.
In fact, Lu Wan had already tried his best.
It's just that some methods have not been used.
For example, the Sealing Dragon Blood Formation.
But Lu Wan knew that even if he used the Dragon-Sealing Blood Formation, he would still be no match for the great master of the Chengming Celestial Master's House.
Maybe if you use up the current divine flowers, you can defeat the opponent.
But in a contest, there is no need to use the divine flower.
"I killed three great forging cauldrons in one day. This matter has been spread within the Twenty-Four Mountain Defense Line, and must have spread to the southern part of Dagan."
"Even the forces in the city of God who are probably better informed should know about it."
"I used up all the magic flowers and killed the three great forging tripods before, and my reputation is spread far and wide. Now I've made my money back."
"Coupled with the subsequent impact, divine flowers will continue to be born, which can be considered a huge profit."
"With my current level of soul condensation and my attainment of 'God's Will Shakes the Galaxy', I can take another step forward."
"Next, continue to accumulate. If there are a hundred real flowers, what will it be like if they merge into one?"
"Based on the calculations of the Fourth Ancestor, a hundred virtual flowers merge into one, which is the real flower."
"A hundred real flowers combined into one will make a huge difference."
"By the time I gather a hundred real flowers, I should have reached the eighth level of the Dao Foundation Realm. I may even have merged into the Dao Foundation and reached the pinnacle of achievement."
"At the peak of Daoji, plus a hundred real flowers combined into one, if used well, can it kill the God of Refining with one sword?"
Lu Wan's mood was ups and downs, and his eyes became extremely bright.
——
At this moment, the white ape is tinkering with its new magical weapon.
This is a high-quality magic weapon. In the shape of a giant axe, you can vaguely see that the ax blades are gathered into the word "virtue".
"My master taught me that I should convince others with virtue."
"So this is my 'martial virtue'?"
The White Ape is quite happy. After this battle in the southern mountains, its cultivation has been further improved.
The blood of ancient gods and demons in the body has further evolved.
Its system of practice is different from the Taoism in today's world.
The Taoist platform has not yet been built, so it is difficult to describe it in a normal state.
But after it obtained this high-quality magic weapon, the head of Qujiang Luo family no longer dared to take its axe.
"So, in the Daoji realm, I am barely able to reach the upper level."
It was thinking this way when it saw a person walking slowly not far away.
Li Qi from the Hui Ling Sect, but after this bloody battle, Lu Wan has confirmed that he is the outer disciple of Xuantian Temple and has given him the skills.
Of course, Li Qi was not the only one who was given the skills.
Practitioners who came from the Yan family were all given Daoji realm skills and officially received the treatment they deserved as disciples of Xuantian Temple.
The other affiliated forces who performed outstandingly were all rewarded.
The same is true for Qujiang Luoshi.
Of course, none of these affiliated forces can be said to be monolithic. When facing the beast tide previously, many people were greedy for life and feared death, and abandoned their companions.
Some people even cut off the legs of their companions, leaving them for the beasts to fight for their own escape.
No rules no standards!
Lu Wan personally beheaded four of them and hung their heads above the military camp.
"Your Majesty Bai."
Li Qi's cultivation level is getting lower and lower, but the true energy of his own martial arts has been released, which is of great benefit to his practice of Xuantian Guan.
Bai Yuan glanced at him sideways, and then said: "You have a good temperament and a good talent. Venerable Lu has high hopes for you. Why don't you run away again because you don't want to practice cultivation?"
"I want to see Master Feng's grave."
Li Qi looked complicated and sighed.
He, Feng Cheng, and Yan Jing were lucky enough to survive the beast wave, but they were all seriously injured. In the end, they were rescued by Bai Yuan and others and were able to return.
However, Feng Cheng was too seriously injured and died before he could receive treatment when he returned to the military camp.
"Buried on the southwest side, with inscriptions on it."
White Ape said this.
Li Qi gave a salute and immediately walked over there.
Bai Yuan looked at his back and murmured: "This boy is a token of gratitude. No wonder the master said that he is very kind and worthy of cultivation."
——
Li Qi came to the cemetery.
It is densely packed with a large number of tombs.
But the vast majority of them are tombs.
The bones of soldiers who died under the beast tide were often not even left behind.
The tombs here include old ones and new ones. The number is huge and shocking.
Li Qi saluted the many tombs and immediately began to search. After a long time, he saw Feng Cheng's tomb.
But unexpectedly, there was an old man sitting in front of Feng Cheng's grave.
His beard and hair are all white, and his expression is gloomy.
It turned out to be Tu Yisan.
Li Qi obviously also knew this Tu Yisan, who was famous in Ziyang Domain and now became the elder of the outer sect of Xuantian Temple.
"I heard that you and Feng Cheng are in the same team this time, patrolling the front mountain?" Tu Yi Sanren looked over and said this.
"Exactly." Li Qi responded and said: "At that time, the beast tide broke out suddenly. We couldn't escape, so we had to leave some people behind and cut off their hands... After killing the first batch of birds and beasts, only the three of us were left. , if Master Feng hadn’t known a hiding place, I should have been buried here.”
"At most, he buried a set of clothes." Tu Yisan laughed and said, "I knew he would die in the southern mountains one day, but I didn't expect that day to come so quickly."
"If it weren't for us, with Master Feng's experience, we wouldn't have ended up like this." Li Qi sighed.
"It's a matter of time." Tu Yi Sanren stood up slowly, looked at the tomb in front of him, and said: "Since I became a Taoist master, I have been recruited no less than five times, but three times, I was assigned to the same group as him. They can also be considered as brothers fighting side by side with each other."
"It turns out that you, old man, still have this relationship with Mr. Feng." Li Qi was slightly surprised.
"Actually, a veteran like him who has experienced hundreds of battles and has rich experience should have been a junior commander."
Tu Yi Sanren said with a smile: "It's a pity that his talent was not high and he stopped before Daoji. And he was older this year. He should have been able to take off his armor and return to his hometown, but he refused to obey his old age... He died ten years earlier than I expected." several years."
After saying this, Tu Yisan saluted all the graves.
He turned his head, looked at Li Qi, and said: "But Lao Feng has lived a long time. More young people like you, green young men with great talents, have died here before they have grown up. .”
Li Qi was silent for a moment, and then said: "But if we don't guard, from here to the north, countless people in the Daqian territory will suffer catastrophes. More people will be killed by the beasts, and more children will be killed by the beasts." belly."
He sighed and said: "More young people like me have been eaten before they can grow up."
After he finished speaking, he spread his hands and said with a smile: "In the past, Ziyang Realm was under their protection. At least I have grown to this point. My cultivation in Qi Refining Realm is not too bad... It is my turn." , let’s protect one side together.”
Tu Yisan asked: "So this is the reason why you, as the most outstanding disciple of Huiling Sect, were the first to come to guard the Daqian border?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Venerable Lu is as young as me, and his talent is rare in the world. He is the most outstanding disciple of Xuantian Temple in the past thirteen hundred years, isn't he here too?"
"..."
Tu Yi Sanren thought for a while and said with a smile: "That makes sense."
After finishing speaking, the old man patted Li Qi on the shoulder and said, "You are also very interesting."
He retracted his hand, glanced at the many graves here, and finally sighed deeply: "So many people died here in order to protect the border. Many were in their prime, and many were young... But... Some old people are greedy for life and afraid of death."
"That's not how it was supposed to be."
"It's just these old things that made things become like this."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, his figure looking desolate and lonely.
Li Qi looked at his back, showing some confusion and confusion.
He turned to look at Feng Cheng's grave, slowly knelt down and kowtowed.
But when he raised his head, he found someone standing next to him.
"Master Lu." Li Qi stood up quickly.
"No need to be polite." Lu Wan said this, looking at Tu Yisan's back, and sighed: "I didn't expect that Tu Yisan can be regarded as a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles."
"He has participated in many frontier battles. As he gets older, he seems to have a lot of emotions." Li Qi thought in his heart: "Maybe one day, I will have the same emotions as him... But maybe, I won't survive that day. day?"
"..." Lu Wan turned his head and looked at Li Qi and said, "You have done a great job this time and allowed me to capture Liang Jin. Is there anything you want?"
"Disciple doesn't dare to ask for anything more." Li Qi said in a low voice.
"Reward for merit." Lu Wanye patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Since you don't want to talk about it today, let's write it down first and talk about it someday."
——
When he returned to the military camp, he found that Taoist Li Shou's expression was extremely strange.
"What's wrong?"
"Pindao inspected the military camp today and found a casual monk."
"What's wrong? Could it be that this person is infected with demonic nature?"
"Not really."
"What's that for?"
"This person has eight Taoist platforms."
"The eighth level of the Taoist Realm?" Lu Wan said in surprise: "How can the scattered monks have such a level of cultivation? Many leaders of aristocratic families or ordinary sects and Taoist sects do not have this level of cultivation?"
"Eight lower-level Taoist platforms." Taoist Li Shou's tone became more complicated.
"Huh?" Lu Wan was stunned for a moment.
"There are faint traces of forming a Dao foundation." Taoist Li Shou whispered: "But nine times out of ten, it will fail... But if you help him, maybe he can succeed?"
"You want to help him?" Lu Wan frowned.
"I have never seen a ninth-grade Daoji." Taoist Li Shou whispered: "This is even rarer than a first-grade Daoji."
"Really rare."
Lu Wan closed his eyes slightly and let out his senses.
He scanned it again and found that the man looked middle-aged and was full of vitality.
The cultivation level of the eight Taoist platforms, but they are all inferior Taoist platforms.
This surprised Lu Wan deeply.
Logically speaking, the three major Dantian Taoist platforms focus on one's own talents and roots, while the Five Elements Taoist platform focuses on spiritual objects.
This person can build eight Taoist platforms in succession, and his talent is not too bad.
"It stands to reason that even if you build two low-level Taoist platforms, you can still be considered a strong one among the casual monks and can seek the methods of the medium-level Taoist platforms and the corresponding spiritual objects..."
Li Shou said slowly: "But he did not seek for a middle-level Taoist platform. Instead, he built eight Taoist platforms based on the lower-level Taoist platforms. Isn't it strange?"
Lu Wan frowned and said, "Ask him?"
Taoist Li Shou immediately waved his hand and said: "Actually, why he built eight lower-level Taoist platforms one after another is not important... What is important is that Pindao thinks that he can see the ninth-grade Taoist foundation. Aren't you curious?"
Ninth-grade Taoist foundation, the worst Taoist foundation!
The reason why it is rare is because the lower-grade Taoist platform is too rough and inferior, and often breaks into pieces before it can be condensed into a Tao foundation, causing the body to die and the Tao to disappear.
To be precise, the eight Taoist platforms were all made of mud. They could not support the walls at all and could not cast the Taoist foundations at all.
But this person actually showed vague signs of forging a foundation.
"What do you mean?" Lu Wan frowned and said, "You want to find out how to create this ninth-grade Taoist foundation?"
"That's right." Taoist Li Shou said sternly: "Even eight low-level Taoist platforms can create a Taoist foundation... Looking at it from another direction, isn't this method of condensing a Taoist foundation also a strange method?"
The eight Taoist platforms are used to form the Taoist foundation. One of the most dangerous parts is when the Taoist platforms break!
The method of forging the ninth-grade Taoist foundation can allow even the lower-grade Taoist platforms to safely pass this level. Isn't it a strange method?
If it can be used well, and even be consistent with the normal Dao Foundation casting methods in the world, smelted into one, and a new method can be created, then the difficulty of reaching the peak of Dao Foundation will be reduced a lot!
"You have already made the cauldron, why do you care about the Dao Foundation?"
"..." Taoist Li Shou glanced at him and thought to himself, "You haven't achieved Taoism yet, haven't you?"
"..." Lu Wan could vaguely sense the other party's thoughts and couldn't help but fell silent.
"Actually, there are many handyman disciples in my Chengming Tianshi Mansion. Their talents are not too high and they don't have many achievements. It is difficult for them to achieve great achievements in this life." Taoist Li Shou sighed and said: "Even if they only practice the medium way It is also very difficult to complete the Taoist platform...most of them practice lower Taoist platforms, basically stopping before the peak of Taoism."
"You want to find a way for them?" Lu Wan suddenly understood.
"Yes." Taoist Li Shou paused for a moment and said: "In fact, the Daqian Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are many such practitioners... Throughout his life, he has been practicing hard at the middle level, and he can only practice concisely. Inferior platform.”
If you obtain this method, you can make further progress among practitioners in the world who have low talents and humble backgrounds and can only build inferior Taoist platforms.
The eight Taoist platforms are not the end, there is still hope to reach the peak of Taoism.
Raising the top of these people!
"This guy is paving the way for you."
Grandma Third Grandma suddenly said: "That ninth-grade Taoist foundation seems to come from the Eighth Mountain."
When Lu Wan heard this, he suddenly realized.
Now Xuantian Guan’s reputation has been restored.
In the eyes of the world, there is Master Xuantian who is in the realm of refining gods, and there is also him, Venerable Lu, who is as powerful as a cauldron.
But further down, at the Taoist level, there are no masters.
Moreover, the disciples and affiliated forces currently accepted by Lu Wan are all from ordinary backgrounds, and most of them are not very talented.
At least in a short period of time, it is extremely difficult to cultivate a large number of descendants.
But if there is a way to reach the pinnacle of Taoism, it can attract a large number of practitioners from lower Taoism levels to join.
"If you hide the ninth-grade Taoist foundation..."
Grandma Third Ancestor said: "As long as word spreads that Xuantian Temple has a large number of Taoist peak figures who can sit in all directions, it will be enough to stabilize the entire Ziyang Territory."
Lu Wan understands that although Xuantian Temple has gained a great reputation recently, it is still short of manpower and affiliated forces from all sides are still secretly serving it.
All forces in the outer domain also secretly set foot in the Ziyang Domain to stir up trouble, but their methods are extremely secretive.
At least in the current Xuantian Temple, only the "Xuantian Master" can intimidate all directions, and there is simply not enough power and manpower to penetrate all parties and control the overall situation.
But if there are a large number of Taoji peaks, it will be different.
"In the Seventh Mountain, there are many Daoji realms of lower Taoist platforms. Some of them are casual monks, some are from affiliated forces, and some are soldiers of the Seventh Mountain..."
"These people may not be able to be used for their own purposes."
"Taoist Li Shou must have thought of this."
Grandma Third Ancestor said this: "This thunder that protects the way is simply terrifying... He is more careful than I thought!"
"..."
Lu Wan looked strange and was about to speak.
But suddenly I heard Yan Zhen coming in a hurry from outside.
"There's beacon smoke ahead!"
"Prepare for war!"
Lu Wan's expression changed slightly, he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Taoist Li Shou's expression also became serious, but he dragged Yan Zhen and said, "That guy from the eight-seat Taoist platform, keep an eye on him, don't let him die."
