The "Xuanmen Magic" was promoted to the extraordinary, and the talent "Dayan Divine Calculation" brought Xu Ke huge help.
In the process of practicing the "Little Five Elements Hunyuan True Secret", the breathing, movement, fluctuation, interaction, integration and transformation of spiritual power are all transformed into precise observation data.
This made Xu Ke's understanding and control of practice more precise and efficient, and he also had a deeper understanding and understanding of the essence of the practice.
The speed of improvement in the realm of cultivation can also soar significantly.
It is estimated that it will not take two or three years, maybe about a year and a half, to reach perfection in Qi training.
This speed... is simply unreasonable.
Preparations for foundation building have to be advanced again. More cultivation techniques must be understood, including foundation building techniques. Only by understanding what foundation building is about can we have the possibility of creating our own foundation building method.
To get these techniques, you have to spend a lot of money.
Fortunately, Xu Ke had accumulated a lot of talismans by studying the "Detailed Explanation of Yuanfu Sect's Low-Level Talisman" before. If he sold them, it would not be a problem to sell several thousand spirit stones.
I don’t know if Gao Zhengzheng has obtained the cultivation techniques I need.
This issue is very critical, Senior Brother Gao, don’t let me down! ——
Gravel field.
Gao Zhengzheng, who was missed by Xu Ke, was... a bit miserable at the moment!
"boom!"
A burst of fire blasted out from Gao Zheng's palm, turning into a huge fireball and slamming into the swarming beasts ahead.
The huge explosion impacted and cleared the area instantly.
It's just that...the beasts are all over the mountains and fields, covering the sky and the earth, sweeping in like a tide.
The area that had just been cleared was instantly filled with all kinds of beasts.
"Put the spell! Cast the spell! Quick! Quick!"
A panicked outer disciple of the Sinong Palace next to him yelled at Gao Zhengzheng.
"No more! The spell is finished!"
Gao Zhengzheng shouted, "Retreat! Retreat! We can't stop it! Run!"
As a result, a group of people fled in panic and were defeated like a mountain.
Scenes like this are happening all over the gravel fields.
Looking at the entire gravel field and the vast Gobi desert, endless herds of beasts are like overwhelming waves, spreading and sweeping across the land.
Oasis everywhere, towns everywhere, and pieces of land are constantly disappearing, and are constantly being submerged by this huge tide of beasts.
The people on the gravel plain, whether they were ordinary people or monks, were trembling in front of this tide of beasts and running away in confusion.
Although most of the beasts in the beast tide are ordinary beasts, with only a small number of spirit beasts, there are too many.
The spiritual power of monks is not infinite, the spells are not infinite, and the spiritual will is not infinite.
In the face of this natural disaster-like beast tide, even if the five major families recruited tens of thousands of monks, they would not be able to resist it.
In the beginning, when the beast tide was just a beast disaster, the monks lived a very comfortable life. A spell or a charm could wipe out a group of beasts and make money easily.
However, in just a few days, the situation took a turn for the worse.
The beasts in the Hengduan Mountains seemed to be going crazy. They suddenly swarmed toward the gravel plains, covering the sky and the mountains.
Because there is even a Golden Core Demon King in the Hengduan Mountains, the monks did not dare to explore too deeply.
The beast tide suddenly broke out, catching people by surprise.
Even if the monks immediately changed from clearing out to defending, the defense line was constantly being broken through, and the garrison was constantly being lost.
After a few days, only the last big city was left in the gravel plain, and the rest was completely submerged by the beast tide. The monks suffered considerable damage, and more ordinary people were swallowed up by the tide of beasts without even a chance to escape.
"Grass!"
Gao Zhengzheng was sitting on the wall of the Gravel City, casting healing spells on himself while cursing, "This time, we suffered a big loss and lost all our money!"
"It's already here, are you still thinking about money?"
Brother Wang of Hedongfang, who didn't know when he got together with Gao Zhengzheng, was holding a long sword and rolled his eyes at Gao Zhengzheng, "It's hard to say whether you can escape with your life, why do you want to make money?"
“Why do you want to live if you don’t have money?”
Gao Zhengzheng replied, looked around again, lowered his voice and said to Senior Brother Wang: "Old Wang, do you think... can this city be defended? If it cannot be defended, we have to make plans early. "
"Then it depends on when the sect's rescue will arrive."
Senior Brother Wang sighed, "If the sect rescues quickly, it will definitely be able to hold on. If it comes slower, it will be difficult to say."
"Monster! Monster! Foundation-building monster!"
While the two were talking in a low voice, a scream suddenly erupted from the city wall.
Gao Zhengzheng's expression changed drastically. He quickly looked up and saw a huge "ghost-faced vulture" in the distant sky, roaring towards the Gravel City with a long and shrill howl.
"Fuck! It's over, it's over!"
Senior Brother Wang turned pale with horror and was trembling all over.
"It's just a foundation-building monster, don't be afraid."
Gao Zhengzheng quickly comforted him, "The He family has a foundation-building master. The inner sect deacon sent by the sect is also a foundation-building master. It won't be a problem to take down a foundation-building monster!"
In fact, Gao Zhengzheng didn't say anything yet. It wouldn't be a problem to capture a foundation-building monster, but...how about a few more?
At this time, the Ghost-Faced Vulture had already approached Gravel City.
Hovering in mid-air, the ghost-faced vulture opened its huge mouth, and a scarlet blood light condensed in the bird's beak, trying to spit out blood light and attack the gravel city.
"You evil beast, how dare you act so arrogantly?"
An angry roar erupted in the city, and a streak of fire shot into the sky, revealing its figure in mid-air.
This person is none other than the inner sect deacon sent by the Haoyang Immortal Sect, the deacon of the Refining Hall, Kuang Liexiong.
I saw Kuang Liexiong emerging in mid-air, a long fiery shuttle appeared in his palm, and a burst of flames billowed up.
"Suffer death!"
With a loud roar, the fiery red long shuttle brought out a blaze of fire, flew out of the air, and hit the ghost-faced vulture fiercely.
There was a "boom" and fire exploded.
Huge shock waves echoed in the air, and the surrounding areas roared.
"Gah..."
The ghost-faced vulture let out a cry of pain, spilled blood all the way into the sky, fell down from mid-air, and hit the ground with a loud bang.
"Master Kuang is mighty!"
"Uncle Master is mighty!"
In the gravel city, cheers and cheers rose from everywhere.
Then……
Deacon Kuang Liexiong, who was floating in the air and receiving cheers and praises from the crowd, suddenly changed his expression and said "fuck" in his mouth. Then the flames turned, shot up into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
Well?
The cheers suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Run!"
Gao Zhengzheng stretched out his hand to pull Senior Brother Wang, turned around, jumped down from the city wall, and ran away.
"what's the situation……"
Senior Brother Wang was stunned for a moment, and without thinking too much, he quickly followed Gao Zhengzheng and ran wildly.
When you are confused about a situation, it is the best choice to do what people who are smarter than you do.
Years of life experience have long made Senior Brother Wang understand this truth.
"quack……"
The next moment, a shrill cry erupted from the horizon.
In the distant sky, more than a dozen ghost-faced vultures were seen lined up in a row, roaring towards the Gravel City with crimson blood. The bloody light seemed to reflect half of the sky red.
Foundation-building monster!
More than a dozen foundation-building monsters!
No wonder Kuang Liexiong wanted to run away. There are only two foundation-building beasts in the entire gravel city, and more than a dozen foundation-building monsters are rushing over in a swarm. Who can stop them?
If you don't run away, will you stay and die?
So... another foundation builder in Gravel City, the ancestor of the He family, took a flying boat, roared into the sky, and fled in the same embarrassment.
However, the ancestor of the He family is better than Kuang Liexiong. At least he brought the core children of the family with him and did not run away alone.
"Fuck! They are going to run! They are going to leave us and run away!"
Seeing this situation, the city was in chaos. Countless monks rushed towards the five major families, trying to catch the escaping flying boat, or simply snatched the flying magic weapon and ran away.
Before the monsters arrived, civil strife began.
The sound of killings in the Gravel City was loud, and the monks fighting for a chance to escape broke into a melee, a complete indiscriminate killing.
One after another, the airships and the mechanical beasts roared into the sky from the gravel city and fled in panic.
When more than a dozen ghost-faced vultures rushed towards Gravel City and spit out streams of blood, Gravel City was submerged by the tide of beasts!
——
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
A rush of bells echoed in the air.
Xu Ke put down the "Detailed Explanation of Low-Level Spells" and raised his head in surprise, "Alarm bell? What's the situation? Is someone attacking the mountain gate? Or is it attacking Haoyang City?"
Without any time to think about it, Xu Ke put away the jade slips on the case table, hung up the magic weapon and long sword, turned around and went out, released the jade boat, and hurried to Bishuitan Market Town.
According to the sect's decree, when the alarm bell rings, disciples everywhere must put down everything in their hands and rush to the assembly area to wait for orders.
Driving a green jade boat, Xu Ke crossed the clear water pool and soon arrived at the market town.
At this moment, hundreds of people have gathered in the market town.
Fangzhengzhuang Yuting was wearing a green Taoist robe and a sword on his waist. He stood at the gate of Baibaozhai in the market town with a serious face.
More and more people came, and after a while, thousands of people gathered on the avenue in front of Baibaozhai.
"The sect's edict!"
After everyone in Bishuitan arrived, Fangzhengzhuang Yuting raised a jade talisman and shouted at everyone.
"Listen to the order!"
Everyone saluted together.
"An animal tide broke out in the Hengduan Mountains, the Gravel Plain fell, the five major families were destroyed, and only a thousand of the tens of thousands of monks survived."
Hearing this, Xu Ke thought "fuck" in his heart!
Has the animal disaster become so serious? Only a thousand of the tens of thousands of monks survived. Those farming disciples in Hedongfang, and Gao Zhengzheng, I'm afraid...
You are really risking your life to make money!
"The decree of the Master: In order to ensure the safety of the sect, we must eliminate the tide of beasts and prevent the beasts from entering the Haoyang Sect."
"The guardian elder ordered: Each temple selects outstanding disciples with high strength, led by five deacons, to go out of the gravel field and wipe out the beasts."
"The elder of the merit examination issued an order: All disciples who participate in the battle will record their merits based on their performance."
"Ordinary beasts have one skill for a hundred heads. Qi spirit beasts have one skill for the initial level, five skills for the intermediate level, and twenty skills for the advanced level. Foundation monster beasts have one hundred skills for the initial level, five hundred skills for the intermediate level, and two skills for the high level. Thousands of merits!”
"Each disciple who participated in the battle was given a jade talisman to record his military achievements immediately. After the war, he will be rewarded based on his merits!"
After Fangzhengzhuang Yuting read the edict from the sect leader, he glanced at everyone and said, "According to the order of the master of the palace, Master Minghong, our sect will select more than ten disciples to participate in the battle. If you are interested, please sign up as soon as possible."
Join the war? Sign up?
So it’s not a mandatory task? That’s okay!
Xu Ke shook his head. It is impossible to participate in the war. I am just a farmer. What does fighting and killing have to do with me? I haven’t even finished learning the detailed explanations of low-level spells yet!
Xu Ke did not sign up, but others were very enthusiastic.
In less than a moment, there were dozens of people signing up. Fangzhengzhuang Yuting had to raise the requirements and removed all those below the seventh level of Qi training.
After counting ten people, Fangzhengzhuang Yuting waved his hand, "Okay, it's okay. Except for those who signed up to join the battle, everyone else should leave!"
Xu Ke bowed to Fangzheng with his fists raised, and then drove his jade boat through the air and returned home.
Sitting in front of the desk, Xu Ke continued to study Yuan Fu Sect's "Detailed Explanation of Low-Level Spells".
One thousand two hundred and ninety-six spells, even if Xu Ke's "Xuanmen magic" has been promoted to the extraordinary and turned into a natural instinct, it cannot be learned in a day or two.
As soon as the door was closed, shutting out the noise outside, Xu Ke devoted himself to studying again.
However... sometimes, closing the door can't cut off the noise outside.
"Hey..."
A crane suddenly sounded outside the door.
Xu Ke frowned, what happened?
Putting down the jade slip and pushing out the door, Xu Ke saw a spiritually transformed feather crane circling and crowing in mid-air in the courtyard.
Paper crane flying talisman?
Xu Ke quickly reached out and made a move. The feather crane turned into a charm and fell into his hand. A voice rang in his ears.
"Junior Brother Xu, help! Help! Come to the Xishan Col of the Gravel Plain and save me!"
This is Gao Zhengzheng's cry for help.
Moreover, as if he was worried that Xu Ke would not come, Gao Zhengzheng added: "I am with Wang Youren of Hedongfang. Also, I have more than a dozen exercises in my hand, including two foundation-building exercises."
Wang Youren of Hedongfang? Who? do not know.
But... there are more than a dozen exercises and two foundation-building exercises. I don't know where Gao Zhengzheng got them.
Just for these exercises, they are worth a trip.
Oh, no, I am doing this for the sake of friendship. How can you not save your fellow disciples when they are in danger?
I am Xu Ke, whose courtesy name is Zijing. People in the world call him "Yi Bo Yuntian Xu Zijing". Yes, that's me!
With a move of his hand, Xu Ke called the Purple Skylark over. He closed the door, released the jade boat and flew into the sky, heading towards the gravel field.
The gravel field is quite far away. Along the way, Xu Ke added spiritual stones twice, but they didn't reach the end of the field.
Turning on the silencing spell array, turning on the protective spell array, and turning on the hiding spell array does consume more spirit stones than simply flying away. This is also a necessary protective measure.
After another half an hour, a desolate desert appeared ahead, which was a gravel field.
Of course Xu Ke didn't know where Xishan Col was, but it wasn't difficult.
He took out the paper crane flying talisman sent by Gao Zhengzheng, inserted a burst of spiritual power, activated the talisman, and transformed into a feathered crane.
After Yu He manifested, he followed the path and flew in the direction of Gao Zhengzheng.
Xu Ke turned the flying boat around, followed Yu He, and rushed in the direction of Gao Zhengzheng.
——
Xishanao.
"kill……"
Senior Brother Wang hid in the mouth of a cliff, wielding his long sword and desperately slashing at the herd of beasts swarming in front of him.
While chopping, Senior Brother Wang turned to Gao Zhengzheng and shouted, "Are you done? Can your mechanism, the Green Bull, still fly?"
"Don't make any noise! I'm repairing it right now! Damn it, I'm already flying into the sky, and I was hit with a thunder talisman by those red-eyed bastards. I may have damaged a certain talisman."
Gao Zhengzheng was cursing and inspecting Qingniu.
"Aren't you going to steal property? If you had just driven away with the Qingniu, we would have escaped long ago!"
Senior Brother Wang cursed angrily again, "You really want your money rather than your life!"
"Okay, I'll give the flying paper crane talisman to Xu Ke, he will come to save us."
Gao Zhengzheng kicked the mechanism Qingniu, "Damn it, it can't be repaired, so we can only defend it. I hope Junior Brother Xu can come over as soon as possible."
With that said, Gao Zhengzheng picked up an ax and axe, and went to kill him, firmly guarding the entrance of the cliff and gorge.
The next moment, a huge boulder with a radius of about ten feet came through the air, making a rumble, and smashed down in the direction of the two of them.
"Fuck!"
Gao Zhengzheng kicked Senior Brother Wang away and jumped to the side.
"Boom!"
Huge boulders hit the mouth of the mountain gorge so hard that half of the cliff collapsed.
"Ouch..."
Behind the herd, a khaki-colored ape standing upright, more than two meters tall, beat its chest and let out a long howl.
"Damn it! Mountain-moving ape! High-level spiritual beast!"
Gao Zhengzheng exclaimed, his eyes straightened and his face turned pale.
It's over, it's over, it's dead!
High-level spiritual beasts are equivalent to perfect Qi training. Even if Xu Ke arrives in time, he can't beat them!
It's doomed now!
