"Deacon Shang, you are back. The Commander-in-Chief has ordered you to see him immediately after you come back." The moment Shang Shan and Jiang Chen walked into the city gate, a man wearing a leather hat ran over , said to Shang Shan.
"I know, I'll go right away." Shang Shan waved his hand to the visitor and said in a somewhat unquestionable tone.
Then he turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Brother Jiang, please go and see the Commander-in-Chief and inform you about the foundation construction of our Taoist friends. We will then discuss the matter of resisting the beast tide."
Jiang Chen was behind him and asked doubtfully: "Does it take an order to establish the foundation?"
"Fellow Taoist, foundation building is a trivial matter. For our land of sand dunes, every foundation building monk belongs to a high-level combat force, especially the Qi Refiner. Once someone advances to the foundation building or Qi and Blood Realm, they need to report to the Palm Commander Special report. Firstly, it can be granted the authority to open a cave in Chushi Mountain, and secondly, it can be convenient for arranging the duties of fellow Taoists." Seeing Jiang Chen's confusion, Shang Shan explained with a smile.
Then Shang Shan led Jiang Chen and flew straight into Chushi Mountain. There was a main hall near the top of the mountain, which was carved out of the mountain. The main hall was supported by thick stone pillars like three people surrounding each other, which was quite simple. .
"Master Zhang, the deacon of Chushi City, Shang Shan, led the Shanyu tribe's guarding immortal master to deliver the order." Shang Shan knelt down on one knee and said loudly to somewhere in the palace.
Jiang Chen looked around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a mysterious robe and a white jade hairpin slowly walking out from the back of the palace. The middle-aged man also had a long beard and looked extremely immortal. , with a natural expression that makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.
"Get up!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a wisp of breath quickly pulling Shang Shan to get up. Judging from his flattered look, this treatment must be his first time.
Jiang Chen focused his eyes forward and sighed secretly in his heart. It seemed like he was giving himself a chance! From the actions of the middle-aged man just now, Qu Qu showed his control over spiritual energy with just one method, and his cultivation level must be above his own.
"This should be Jiang Chen, the guardian immortal master of the Shanyu tribe, right?" The middle-aged man walked towards the two of them and asked as he walked.
"This is the Commander-in-Chief, Fellow Daoist Jiang." Shang Shan replied respectfully.
"Jiang Chen, I have met Lord Zhang."
Jiang Chen cupped his fists and saluted, and said without changing his expression.
"Okay, okay, we are lucky to have another foundation-building monk in Shitai City. I will report to Master later and tell him the news." The middle-aged man could tell Jiang Chen's face with just one glance. Xiu Wei, immediately looked happy and said happily.
Jiang Chen slightly cupped his hands, bowed and said: "By the palm of your hand, I have served as the guardian immortal master of the Shanyu tribe for three years. According to the rules of the sand dune land, you can choose to stay or leave after serving for three years. Before this time I came here to say goodbye to the commander."
As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, he saw Shang Shan's anxious face and was about to say something. The middle-aged man raised his hand to stop Shang Shan and said with a smile: "Is there anything in Shitai City that doesn't provide good hospitality? Fellow Taoist, are you leaving before you are familiar with this place?"
"The commander misunderstood. I was just passing by here when I came here. I had no choice but to find a place to build the foundation first. Now that the foundation has been successfully built, I have important things to do and I have to leave here." Jiang Chen said calmly. explained.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, it's not that I don't want to let you leave, but that the beast tide has arrived now. Fellow Taoist has never seen the beast tide in my sand dune land, so he has no idea. If fellow Taoist is so eager to leave, I'm afraid it's not a wise idea. Choice." The middle-aged man stroked his beard and said helplessly.
"Yes! Brother Jiang, the Demon Source Realm of Xingxing City has sensed that a large amount of demon energy is gathering in various spiritual veins. This is a sign of the rise of the beast tide. We have urgently ordered everyone in the Sand Dune to prepare in advance. Within March, The beast tide is bound to rise, and if you leave this time without a big city to rely on, you will definitely fall into the beast tide." Shang Shan took the words from one side and explained the current situation to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen frowned. He didn't know what this beast tide looked like. He just thought it was a normal monster attack, so he didn't think much about it. He asked to leave at this time because he didn't want to continue to be restrained by Xingxing City. Moreover, he had There is a demon-slaying sword of great importance hidden there. We must go further away from here in order to find peace. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be easy for Dashang to send people to find this place.
However, the appearance of the two of them does not look like they are faking it. This beast wave is really so terrifying.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang has never seen the beast tide, Shang Shan, please give a brief introduction to Daoist Jiang!" Seeing Jiang Chen's hesitation, the middle-aged man motioned to Shang Shan.
"As you command!"
Shang Shan bowed his body, clasped his fists and bowed, then faced Jiang Chen and said: "My sand dune land has few spiritual veins and is occupied by humans. However, a large number of monsters can only hide in the sand sea and breed under this land. Life, but as people discovered that there are not many spiritual veins in the land of sand dunes, it is just that there are few spiritual veins floating on the earth. There are actually a large number of spiritual veins hidden underground that are hundreds to thousands of miles deep. As time went by, a large number of monster beasts began to breed and cultivate deep underground in the land of sand dunes. Their numbers were countless. They had spiritual veins with richer spiritual energy than us humans. This also resulted in the large number of monster beasts in our land of sand dunes. "
"I have a question. Since there are so many spiritual veins underground, why doesn't anyone go to occupy them?" Jiang Chen expressed his doubts.
"Haha, what Fellow Daoist Jiang is asking is that it stands to reason that human races should fight for such scarce resources as spiritual veins. It is because they have fought for it that the world under the ground is now dominated by demon tribes. Just because there are many spiritual veins underground, but because of the depth, The earth veins, evil spirits and fire veins are densely covered. The human body of my race cannot practice in such an environment. Even if the spiritual energy is rich, if the evil spirits are accidentally inhaled, the meridians will be damaged, and the soul will be invaded by the evil spirits. And the underground fire veins Not many people can withstand the extremely high temperature and heavy weight. Only monsters who are not afraid of evil spirits and can withstand the intense heat can live underground."
Shang Shan explained the reason, and the middle-aged man on the side looked at Jiang Chen and nodded.
"Why do monster beasts have such a training environment and rush out of the ground to trigger a tide of beasts?"
Jiang Chen couldn't understand it. Maybe there was something in it that Shang Shan hadn't said yet, so he could only ask his own questions.
Shang Shan gave it up and said: "What we cultivators are talking about is going against the sky, and the balance of yin and yang between heaven and earth is important. The sun is equal at midday, and the moon is waxing and waning. This is the way of heaven, and everything has its own destiny. There are gains and losses. There are many spiritual veins underground, and the spiritual energy is rich, but it is densely covered with evil spirits and high temperatures, so it is difficult for us humans to enter. Monsters and beasts are not afraid of these two and can be safe and sound, but if they blindly grab the veins sooner or later, they will be hollowed out, which will make Every hundred years there will be an explosion of fire veins here, making it difficult to survive underground. The monsters have to escape from the underground and come to the surface to temporarily compete with our human race for survival. They will not recede until the earth veins ease. This is the beast tide in the sand dunes. origin of."
Jiang Chen sighed, deeply impressed by the magic of this world. The heaven and earth were free to balance. In this way, the numbers of monsters and humans would be controlled and would not damage this land.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you must have seen a lot of small beast tides in the past years when you have been guarding the Shanyu tribe. It is normal to number tens of thousands. The resistance with formations can be enough to cope with it. But this time, according to the letter from Suxing City, the underground fire veins have been It broke out, and a large number of demonic beasts gathered towards the ground. It was a huge beast tide that occurred once in a hundred years. It was unparalleled in any previous time. The number must be in the hundreds of millions. And all the monks in my sand dune land gathered only a few hundred thousand. Like Taoist friends, There are only a thousand people with foundation building strength, and there are only about twenty Jindan and Xiantian monks. With the beast tide, they can only rely on the strong city to protect them, and they will only seek death in the wild." The middle-aged man dissuaded.
When Jiang Chen heard this, he hesitated. The situation was so bad. The land of sand dunes was vast and he couldn't leave here in a short time. If he encountered a tide of beasts, he would really have no choice. It seemed that he had to give up the idea of leaving. .
"If this is really the case, I should do my part to help the Sand Dune Land. I don't know what I should do next." Jiang Chen looked in front of him seriously and said.
The middle-aged man cupped his fists and returned a salute to Jiang Chen: "There is no hurry at this time. With the help of fellow Daoist Jiang, we will have more strength to resist the beast tide. However, the guardian immortals from all tribes have not yet come together. Let's do it together tomorrow." Discussing matters, Taoist friend has been traveling hard today, so go down and rest first. Tomorrow I will ask Shang Shan to pick up fellow Taoist fellows and come to discuss matters."
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Jiang Chen could only nod, clasped his fists and left.
After Jiang Chen left the main hall, the middle-aged man leaned towards Shang Shan, threw an elixir to him, and said with appreciation: "For being able to leave this person for me in Shitai City, you must remember your merit today. This is a reward." your."
Looking at the elixir thrown by the middle-aged man, Shang Shan's eyes were full of surprise after just one glance. He covered the elixir in his hands and said gratefully: "Thank you for your command. I only tried my best. How dare you accept this?" Condensation Pill."
"You can bear with it. Although this person has just advanced to Foundation Establishment, his spiritual consciousness is no weaker than mine. I just tried it privately and found it difficult for me to overpower his spiritual consciousness. It seems that his cultivation is not as simple as it seems." The middle-aged man stroked his beard and looked at the direction Jiang Chen left, wondering what he was thinking.
"Three years ago, this person stunned the audience by defeating a demon guard team leader who was in the Qi and blood realm with one move with perfect Qi refining skills. Now that he has advanced to foundation building, his strength may be even more powerful." Shang Shan thought of the situation that day. , I can’t help but admire it secretly.
"I have to report this kind of powerful person to Master personally. Well, you don't have to envy this person. With this Condensation Pill, it is not impossible to break through the Qi and Blood Realm. Let's go on."
The middle-aged man felt a little emotional. After repelling Shang Shan, he walked towards the depths of the hall alone. It turned out that there was a passage in the depths directly leading to the peak.
After walking along the peak for a while, the middle-aged man stopped in front of a huge rock. A spiritual talisman appeared in his hand. After the middle-aged man wrote a few symbols on it, the talisman spontaneously ignited out of thin air.
Then I heard a deep voice: "Shengyue, what's going on!"
The middle-aged man named Shengyue quickly knelt down on the ground and said with great respect and a little fear: "Master, there are some disciples who need to report to the master."
"come in!"
"yes."
The boulder in front of Shengyue suddenly opened by itself, forming an arch, revealing what was inside.
There was an old man wearing a green Taoist robe with his back to him and facing the wall. Shengyue said bluntly: "Master, the new guarding immortal master of the Shanyu tribe broke through the foundation and came to register with the disciples. The disciple has investigated and it seems that the strength of his spiritual consciousness is not lower than mine."
Shengyue said everything he knew concisely and clearly, as if he didn't dare to hide it from the old man.
After hearing this, the old man had no other reaction and just said lightly: "Oh? The strength of his spiritual consciousness is not inferior to yours. I have been here for many years. Apart from you, this is the most powerful foundation-building monk I have seen. Even if his spiritual consciousness is not as good as yours, once he breaks through to another level, his spiritual consciousness will still be strong enough to take that thing. When the meeting is over tomorrow, you can take him here and let me see him."
Shengyue lowered his head and did not dare to look at the old man. He nodded in agreement after hearing the old man's words.
Then he slowly exited the teacher's door, and the old man's voice suddenly came from behind.
"The restraint in your Dantian is about to break out. This is a pill to suppress the restraint. Take it. After this matter is finished, I will set you free and help you break through the pill." The old man flew out from his fingertips. The golden elixir was delivered steadily to Dan Yue's hands.
After taking the elixir, Danyue inspected it, and then quickly drank it. With a slightly happy face, he thanked the old man and left.
