"All fellow Taoists should know Jin."
The golden-armored man's voice swept through the entire Juxian Square. He picked up a crystal clear jasper wine glass and said: "Here, on behalf of all the monks in Black Rock City and on behalf of the tens of millions of people in the twenty-three regions of Southern Xinjiang, Jin would like to thank you all." Comrades are helping each other, and I’d like to give you a toast!”
Say it.
The man in golden armor drank the wine in the cup generously.
"To the city lord!"
Just when everyone was silent, a clever monk shouted loudly, and the other monks reacted immediately, filled their glasses, raised their hands above their heads, and shouted in unison: "To the Lord of the City!"
All of a sudden.
The sound penetrates the sky, and the sound stops the moving clouds!
"Haha, you don't have to be restrained."
The golden-armored man smiled gently and said over the thousands of monks' voices: "I am a member of the same generation, and Jin is just a few years older. If you have any inconvenience in Black Rock City in the future, I don't care. Come to the city lord's mansion to explain right and wrong.
Jin hereby guarantees that no matter what the matter is, no matter who is involved, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely uphold justice and handle it impartially for all fellow Taoists. "
The man in golden armor made everyone excited with his words. They thanked each other again and had the urge to bow down.
Subsequently.
The man in golden armor said a few more polite words, and then said that he would not waste everyone's time anymore and let everyone enjoy the spiritual wine and food specially prepared by Black Rock City...
Don't mention anything else.
Just talking about the ingredients at the banquet, a lot of money was indeed spent.
The wine is [Qiquan Eye-catching Wine]. This kind of spiritual wine is a specialty of Black Rock City. It is brewed from the eyes of a certain spiritual snake and supplemented by a special spiritual spring. Not only does the Qiquan Eye-catching Wine have a mellow taste, it can even slightly enhance the power of immortal cultivators. Eyesight is by no means unprecious.
also.
There are also a large amount of prepared monster meat, seafood, pastries baked by Linggu, and even some kind of spiritual plant fruit similar to red dates...
Even Zhao Yongqi saw such specifications.
He couldn't help but be stunned by the generosity of the Jinjia City Lord.
This kind of banquet size is usually used to entertain foundation-building monks at least, but the Lord of Jinjia City treats them equally, and all qi-training monks can enjoy it. This is definitely a big benefit for those qi-training monks. .
No matter what the Jinjia City Lord thinks in his heart.
Observe his words and actions.
It is indeed worthy of the worship and admiration of so many low-level monks!
...
After the banquet.
A large number of black-robed monks appeared again.
Lead each clan to different places.
This also confirmed one of Zhao Yongqi's conjectures. Entering Black Rock City, the original top-down clan leadership system of the Eternal Life Domain has been stripped away, and each clan has become an independent unit directly under the command of Black Rock City.
This shows that there must be a think tank led by an expert within Black Rock City.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to accurately command the operational tasks of each clan.
Under the guidance of the black-robed reception monks, Zhao Yongqi led the Zhao family monks to board the escape flying boat inside Black Rock City and flew along Black Rock City to the north end.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, where are we going next?"
The leading monk who leads the Zhao family is a female cultivator named Ji Jiaoer. She looks young, probably in her early twenties based on her appearance, but her cultivation is already in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Even if Chief Zhao doesn't ask, I will explain it to him."
Ji Jiaoer smiled, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth. This woman had fair skin, beautiful appearance, and tall figure. She was a rare beauty, and she looked quite pleasing to the eye.
"Blackstone City is divided into four major areas from west to north: A, B, C, and D. Each area has one hundred and eight large strongholds. Each large stronghold has three to ten medium-sized strongholds. Each medium-sized stronghold has another There are a varying number of small strongholds, and the one we are going to now is the small stronghold No. 9651 in District D."
"Small stronghold No. 9651?" Zhao Yongqi looked confused.
Ji Jiaoer explained: "In District D, there are large stronghold No. 96, medium stronghold No. 5, and small stronghold No. 11."
"I see."
Zhao Yongqi nodded slightly.
Although he originally knew something about Black Rock City, it was only hearsay information after all, and it was far less shocking than seeing this place with his own eyes.
View from above.
Black Rock City is like a winding black snake, looking extremely slender.
But when you really get into it, you will find that the size of Black Rock City is far beyond imagination, even the vertical width is nearly a hundred miles away.
Blackstone City has long had its own system, with countless mountains, rivers, and even cities within cities. The number of monks in it is definitely only a lot more than that of the entire twenty-three regions of Southern Border.
on the way.
Ji Jiaoer explained many rules in Black Rock City to Zhao Yongqi.
For example, if there is a curfew at night, if you leave your large stronghold to go to other areas, you will need a pass, including entering and exiting Blackstone City.
This is still Zhao Yongqi's authority as the head of the Zhao family.
If you are an ordinary member of the Zhao family, you will already need a pass to leave a medium-sized stronghold or even a small stronghold.
There are many similar rules.
In short, Black Rock City is a military fortress with extremely strict management, cruel punishment, and extremely restricted freedom!
And what the Zhao family needs to do next.
That is to first arrive at the large stronghold No. 96 in Ding District and conduct systematic training for about two months. The main requirement is that every monk must understand and abide by the rules of Black Rock City and strictly abide by them without being offended.
After two months of training is completed.
Only then will he be transferred to the small stronghold No. 9651.
According to Ji Jiaoer, the tasks of each stronghold are different, including offensive tasks, defensive tasks, patrol tasks, security tasks, logistics tasks...
As for what type of tasks the small stronghold No. 9651 performs.
Even Ji Jiaoer himself couldn't explain clearly.
The above are all said by Ji Jiaoer himself.
But based on the intelligence collected by Zhao Yongqi privately, he knew that in addition to these explicit rules, there were also some more shady unspoken rules.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Even immortal cultivators are no exception.
Of the four areas A, B, C, and D, overall, area A is naturally safer. After all, the city lord's palace is in area A, and the spiritual land and spiritual veins in area A are of higher quality, which will naturally be more helpful for cultivation. big.
Even those Yuanying old monsters.
I heard that I prefer to practice in the spiritual land in Area A.
Thus.
All the clans hope to stay in Area A and compete together. That is the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers to see which family has better methods and whose backend is stronger...
Naturally, this kind of behind-the-scenes operation cannot be discussed openly.
And with the size of a newly promoted eighth-grade clan like the Zhao family, there is no strong backing, so it is impossible to stay in Area A.
Zhao Yongqi didn't have any extravagant expectations.
Except for regional disputes.
There are also differences in mission types, which can also be called stronghold battles!
