At this time, Canglang Sword Sect Yuan Cangfeng.
Ling Feng was practicing the Canglang Ten Thousand Swords Diagram in the house, refining the water spirit energy and condensing the sword soul.
However, the deeper the skill, the faster it can breathe in and refine the water spirit energy. The number of Qi orifices he has opened at this time has reached 175. The upper limit of Canglang's Qi has been increased by 20,000 points again, reaching 150,000 points. The speed of refining spiritual energy has almost doubled.
He released his soul thoughts and found that 70% to 80% of Yuancang Peak's spiritual energy had been absorbed by him, which had seriously affected the cultivation of other senior brothers and sisters.
Therefore, Ling Feng planned to change his practice to another place. He slowly finished his work and stood up to ask Zhou Zhijie.
Zhou Zhijie said: "There are two ways. One is to rent a mountain peak or a small island. For example, Master Niang's Xiaojing Peak. Although the concentration of spiritual energy in those places is not as good as that of the seven main peaks, because no one robs it, the cultivation speed is actually faster. Faster. However, it will cost a lot of money! The second is to go to Tianyuan Peak to practice, which is the center of Cangshan Mountain and the center of the Spirit Gathering Formation. The spiritual energy is the richest and has an endless supply. It will cost a lot to retreat there. Apply for contribution points. Generally, those who are in retreat are those who are about to break through the Wuzong and are condensing their true energy, and Senior Brother Duan is there."
Contribution points were extremely precious, so Ling Feng was naturally reluctant to part with them and decided to rent a high mountain peak or small island. Therefore, he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inquire.
The internal affairs hall is very large, with many businesses in it, and each has its own responsible window.
The person in charge in front of the window was a middle-aged man in blue shirt who belonged to the outer sect. He said: "Senior Brother Lin, the peaks that can be rented in the sect are divided into four grades: A, B, C and D, and the islands are also divided into four grades: A, B, C and D. But even Ding The rents on the peaks are much more expensive than those on the islands outside. This is because the spiritual energy within the sect's formation is rich and safe, while the islands outside are all small spirit gathering formations, and the security is not that high."
Although Ling Feng entered the profession much later than him, Ling Feng was the chief disciple of the sect, so naturally he did not dare to rely on him.
Ling Feng thought for a while. He had the Han Jiao Sword as a warning, so he was really not afraid of sneak attacks, and he was more free outside the mountain gate. So he said: "Bring me a first-class island and rent it for a year. How much money do you need?"
"The rent for Class D islands is 100,000 taels per year, for Class C islands it is 400,000 taels per year, for Class B islands it is one million taels per year, and for Class A islands it is three million taels per year! There is currently only one vacant Class A island. , called Zangling Island, is located ten miles west of Cangshan Mountain and is thirty acres in size. There is a yard on the island and a kitchen with dishes and chopsticks. You can cook by yourself, or you can have meals delivered by patrolling outer disciples."
The middle-aged deacon was quite enthusiastic and explained it in detail.
"Okay, that's it."
Ling Feng didn't have many requirements, and three million wasn't too expensive, so he paid the check.
The middle-aged deacon registered the information for him, handed him a token, and said, "Senior Brother Lin, this is the token for Hidden Spirit Island. If you lose it, come to the Internal Affairs Hall to get it replaced immediately."
Ling Feng glanced at the token. It was engraved with the word "hidden spirit" and contained a soul imprint, which was obviously a security mark.
Half an hour later, Ling Feng arrived at Hidden Spirit Island.
The island is green, with trees, flowers and birds, beautiful scenery, and a courtyard in the middle.
Ling Feng sensed the spiritual energy concentration, which was only about a quarter of Yuan Cang Peak's. However, the area is large enough and you don't have to worry about affecting other people. You can absorb it with confidence, which is enough for Ling Feng.
So, he began to practice hard. Practice Canglang Immortal Body and Canglang Ten Thousand Swords every day, or practice basic swordsmanship, Canglang Sword Technique, and Netherworld Ghost Steps. At night, he practiced the soul-locking chain for an hour.
…
Two days later, at noon, the sun was scorching hot in the southern part of Wuling County, Yanzhou in the south.
In a dense forest, a group of Red Flame Army soldiers wearing red clothes were clearing the way, cutting down trees whenever they saw them. The leader was Zhou Yulang, the Pingman vanguard general.
Although this army has only been training for a few months, it is an elite division. Every soldier is warrior level or above, and is equipped with sophisticated crossbows on the back. The lethality can be imagined!
In addition, there was a long sealed bamboo tube hanging on their waists, which had a pungent smell but contained kerosene. At critical moments, you can use fire to attack and burn the mountains and forests. This is also the origin of the Red Flame Army.
The southern part of Yanzhou is a hilly area with many hills and rugged and narrow roads. Even an army of 100,000 people is useless in a war because the army cannot spread out at all. Therefore, Zhou Yulang's main task was to open a wide road to Nanman.
After a while, a scout came back to send a message, cupping his fists and saying: "General, we found a Yue village ahead, with about a thousand people."
Zhou Yulang said coldly: "Advance the whole army and kill!"
This time we want to completely solve the hidden dangers of the Southern Barbarians, so naturally we cannot show mercy.
Moreover, although the Baiyue tribe submitted in name, they refused to pay taxes and used the model of copycats to gather young and strong armed forces to resist the government. Once the situation in the court changes, they will jointly send troops to plunder towns and cities, which is not a good thing. He killed without any psychological burden.
Immediately, the entire army advanced rapidly.
Ten minutes later, three thousand Red Flame troops arrived in front of the Yue tribe's stronghold.
On the arrow tower on the gate of the village, dozens of young Yue people were holding bows and arrows, looking alert, and would shoot whenever the Chu army came within range.
The Chu army distanced themselves, cocked their crossbow arrows, wrapped the arrowheads in cloth strips stained with kerosene, and then lit them on fire. With a volley of fire, all the people on the arrow tower fell down, and the village was on fire everywhere, and people were suddenly in chaos.
At this time, Zhou Yulang held the flaming knife, swung the knife and slashed out a flaming sword energy, split open the cottage door, rushed into the cottage first, and bravely killed the enemy. Subsequently, three thousand elite Red Flame troops rushed into the mountain stronghold and began to massacre.
Ten minutes later, the war ended, leaving corpses everywhere and blood staining the ground red.
The soldiers of the Red Flame Army began to clean the battlefield, and then cut off the enemy's left ear to count their combat achievements.
Half an hour later, after a short rest, Zhou Yulang once again led the army and set off to the front. Although he only has three thousand elite soldiers, he is not timid. They were just a bunch of ragtag natives, and he didn't take them seriously. Moreover, this Pingman battle is a rare opportunity, and he must seize the opportunity to make more military exploits. At that time, let alone reinstatement of the official position, it is also possible to be promoted to one or two ranks.
At this time, thirty miles away, in the cave of Heishan Village.
The master of the Black Mountain Cave was eating fruits while being served by his beautiful concubine.
Suddenly, a soldier in black hurriedly came in, clasped his fists and said: "Master Cave Master, something bad has happened! The fire in the north has been found out, and it was done by the Chu army. The entire Wujia Village was massacred, no one was spared, and the houses were also destroyed. They were all burned! The Chu army was all dressed in red, and there were about three thousand people!"
The expression of the Lord of the Black Mountain Cave changed drastically, and he slaughtered the villages and villages. He was determined to fight to the death! Immediately, he asked: "Are there any troops following them?"
The soldier in black said: "According to what the spies said, no follow-up army has been found!"
"How dare you go deep alone, so that you will never come back! Go and inform several nearby tribes, and we will send troops together to destroy the Chu people!"
The Black Mountain Cave Master suddenly looked overjoyed and said. Heishanzhai is the largest tribe nearby, with tens of thousands of people and two thousand elite soldiers. There are also more than two thousand young men who can go to the battlefield. Plus the troops of several other small tribes, they can gather six to seven thousand people to deal with three thousand. The Chu army is not yet ready to capture them.
