Chapter 19: Recruitment

Liu Yuanchen left the Earth Fire Room and had a meal in the Alchemy Hall before leaving Qingdan Peak and returning to his cave.

He had some vague guesses about the situation on the front line. The sect ordered all alchemists to make high-intensity pills, and it was obvious that they were ready to go to war.

The next day, Zheng Qian's request for merit from the hall master was implemented.

The reward was also valuable, a small barrier-breaking pill.

The small barrier-breaking pill is a first-level upper-grade pill, and its main function is to assist the cultivators in the Yangqi realm to break through.

On the market, a small barrier-breaking pill can be worth about 200 spirit stones.

Before breaking through the Qi Sea realm, the biggest hurdle is to break through the seventh level of Yangqi.

Many cultivators with poor talents have fallen on this hurdle.

Liu Yuanchen's immortal seed can only be detected as a middle-grade C-level, and his cultivation talent is considered to be at a medium-low level.

In the absence of excellent exercises, breaking through the seventh level of Yangqi is not a simple matter.

Liu Yuanchen was delighted. On the surface, he really needed the small barrier-breaking pill.

The hall master must have investigated before rewarding me with the small barrier-breaking pill, which means that he values ​​me more.

As long as the Qingdan Sect is not at the end of its rope, there will be no risk of becoming cannon fodder if I can be valued by the high-level leaders of the sect.

However, with the help of the skills and the blessed land, it is not difficult for Liu Yuanchen to break through the seventh level of nourishing qi.

With his current accumulation, he can break through at any time and does not need the small barrier-breaking pill at all.

It is not appropriate to sell the hall master's reward.

"This small barrier-breaking pill should be left to my father. He has poor talent and is old.

It is not easy to break through the seventh level of nourishing qi.

With this barrier-breaking pill, breaking through the seventh level of nourishing qi is not a problem."

On the third day, Liu Yuanchen returned to the cave after completing the alchemy task and found Liu Qingyuan waiting in front of the cave.

Liu Yuanchen quickly closed the formation and invited him into the cave.

The two sat down in the cave, and Liu Yuanchen asked: "Uncle Eight, what do you want to tell me this time?"

Liu Qingyuan smiled and said: "There is nothing to tell me, I just came to take a look.

By the way, how is your current alchemy level?"

Liu Yuanchen smiled: "Not bad, I have received alchemy tasks in the past two days, and the success rate of the Awakening Pill has been close to 60%, and each furnace can produce one or two good pills."

Liu Qingyuan looked surprised: "It's only been more than a year, and your alchemy skills have surpassed all the alchemists in the family.

I heard that Manager Zheng's evaluation of you is that you have the potential to become a third-level alchemist in the future.

In addition, Master Zhang personally gave you a small barrier-breaking pill.

Our Liu family has you and Yuansi in this generation, and it's really time to take off."

Liu Yuanchen thought to himself: I wonder why you, an elder, come to visit the younger generation when you have nothing to do.

It turned out that you heard about Manager Zheng's evaluation of me and Master Zhang's gift of the small barrier-breaking pill, and came to get close to me.

It just so happens that I also need information about Jin'ao Mountain, so now I don't even have to spend time asking for information.

"Uncle Eighth, you're too kind. I don't have enough talent, and the possibility of breaking through the Condensation Realm is extremely small. The family's rise still depends on my second brother.

By the way, you are well-informed. Do you know what the situation is like in Jin'ao Mountain?

The task of refining pills in the Pill Hall is not easy. An older manager said that the situation was similar to the current one before the sect and the Demon Cloud Sect went to war more than a hundred years ago."

Liu Qingyuan looked worried: "It's almost time to go to war. Our Liu family also has several elders who are on good terms with us in the sect.

In the past two days, I have been asking them about the news of Jin'ao Mountain and the opinions of the top leaders."

"You have guessed what the sect leaders mean. They have already started preparing for war, and there must be a fight."

"The situation on the front line is getting more and more serious. The sect's intelligence shows that the Demon Cloud Sect has begun to recruit evil cultivators.

And they are also building a city on the shore of Grey Goose Lake."

Grey Goose Lake is in the buffer zone between the two sects, formed by the confluence of several streams.

The water volume is not large, only about ten miles in radius.

There is only one first-grade superior spiritual vein nearby, and it is only a small spiritual vein, which is not enough to support too many cultivators.

There is a small market for casual cultivators to trade on the shore of Grey Goose Lake. Although it is called a market, it is actually not managed by anyone and there are no shops.

The casual cultivators who do business just set up stalls.

Grey Goose Lake can only support the survival of cultivators. There are no special products and it is difficult to squeeze out any oil and water.

Moreover, Grey Goose Lake is very close to Wuyun Ridge, and monsters in the mountains often run over to cause trouble.

Therefore, Qingdan Sect has never intended to include Grey Goose Lake in its sphere of influence.

But now that the spiritual stone vein has been discovered in Jin'ao Mountain, the role of Grey Goose Lake has become greater.

Grey Goose Lake is in the southeast of Jin'ao Mountain, and the two places are only a hundred miles apart.

The meaning of the Demon Cloud Sect building a city here is obvious, that is, to use Grey Goose Lake as a forward base for attacking Jin'ao Mountain.

Although the spiritual vein conditions around Grey Goose Lake are very poor, it is still qualified as a water source.

Most of the Red Wasteland is covered with Gobi Desert. The battle between the two sects not only needs to consider the issue of spiritual veins, but also food and drink.

Food is easy to deal with. A large number of Qigong pills can be refined in the rear and transported to the front line.

A Qigong pill weighs only one penny, and a worst storage bag can easily hold tens of thousands of pills.

But water is not easy to deal with. Each person needs several kilograms of water every day.

It is unreliable to transport water from the rear across thousands of miles.

Using rain spells can certainly replenish water, but it will also increase the loss of mana.

Originally, there is not enough spiritual energy in the wasteland, and it is necessary to rely on spiritual stones and pills to replenish mana.

The Demon Cloud Sect occupied the Grey Goose Lake, so at least they didn’t have to worry about the water problem, and the loss could be reduced a lot.

“The Demon Cloud Sect’s pre-war preparations are almost done, and it seems that this battle is unavoidable.

Grey Goose Lake is so close, didn’t the higher-ups think of completely destroying it before the Demon Cloud Sect built the city, and then occupying Grey Goose Lake?”

Liu Qingyuan sighed: “The Demon Cloud Sect came prepared, with many masters stationed in Grey Goose Lake, and many temporary formations were set up.

The sect sent people to attack many times, and the Demon Cloud Sect scattered a lot of spirit stones to maintain the formation.

Not only did we not get any advantage, but we also suffered heavy casualties.

They also dug a lot of water cellars for water storage, Poisoning didn't work. "

"The Demon Cloud Sect is well prepared, and it's impossible to repel them in a short time.

The next battle will definitely be a protracted war, and the sect's top leaders are already discussing the conscription order.

As a subsidiary of the Qingdan Sect, our Liu family must also send people.

This time, the sect has to defend Jinao Mountain, which will be shrouded in black fog at night.

If there are strange creatures, I'm afraid the people who participate in the war will suffer heavy losses.

Once the war starts, many clansmen will die. "

Hearing him mention clansmen, Liu Yuanchen also took the opportunity to hint.

"I'm also worried about my father. He is a straight-forward person. Once he goes to the battlefield, his life will inevitably be in danger. "

Liu Qingyuan instantly understood what he meant: "The third brother is now in charge of the Nanshan reclamation affairs, and the expansion of the spiritual field is related to the family's foundation.

At this time, how could the third brother be transferred away? "

After hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was relieved.

This eighth uncle is also a descendant of the main lineage, and he is the person in charge of the family in the Qingdan Sect.

His words basically represent the opinions of the head of the family and the elders.

"If so, I'm relieved.

By the way, what is the scope of this conscription?

My second brother and ninth brother are both from the Guard Hall. They won't be in the conscription scope, right?"

Liu Qingyuan sighed: "There is no way. When there is no war, the Guard Hall is the most relaxed.

Once there is a war, the Guard Hall is also the most dangerous.

However, Yuan Si, as a genius disciple, is also valued by the elders, so he should not be conscripted.

But Yuan Qi is hard to say. He is just an ordinary inner disciple of the Guard Hall and must be in the conscription."

The two analyzed the current situation, and then Liu Qingyuan left the jade talisman for the message and said goodbye.

...

Liu Yuanchen made pills and practiced step by step every day, and no longer worried about the war.

Five days later, the sect officially issued a conscription order.

The scope of the conscription is not too large. It is mainly the disciples of the Guard Hall, and the lowest cultivation level is the late stage of Qi cultivation.

A lot of Qi Hai Realm cultivators were mobilized, and more than 30% of the idle elders were mobilized.

It can be seen that this war should be mainly based on elite troops, not human wave tactics.

Other halls responsible for cultivating the hundred arts of immortality have added tasks to produce as many elixirs, magic tools, talismans, etc. as possible.

At the same time, in order to encourage disciples to make achievements, rewards are also announced.

The three most meritorious disciples in the Yang Qi Realm can get a set of auxiliary elixirs needed to break through the Qi Hai Realm.

Once the rewards were announced, the eyes of the disciples with low backgrounds were red.

Many disciples who were not within the scope of the call-up also asked to fight.

Seeing that the morale of the disciples was high, the senior officials were naturally happy.

All disciples who wanted to participate in the war were all accepted.

The Dan Yao Hall also increased the tasks, requiring seven furnaces of elixirs to be refined a day.

A group of alchemists in the early and middle stages of Yang Qi were full of complaints.

Even Liu Yuanchen did not dare to complete all the alchemy tasks in one go as before.

He also needs to take a break in the middle to recover to the best condition.

In this way, his alchemy level has improved very quickly, and the success rate has reached 60%.

…

In the cave of Chen Changshan in Songyun Peak, Chen Changshan and Chen Zongming conspired.

Chen Changshan's face was gloomy: "The conscription order has been issued, and Liu Yuansi's name is not on it.

And Liu Yuanchen, the little loach, has a great reputation in the Alchemy Hall.

Almost every furnace of elixir can produce one or two good-quality elixirs.

Zhang Tangzhu has noticed him and personally rewarded him with a small barrier-breaking pill.

Zongming, I have given you full authority to deal with the two of them. Is there any progress?"

Chen Zongming looked like he was sure of victory: "Don't worry, Third Uncle, I have arranged everything that should be arranged."

"I used the relationship of the Guard Hall to stimulate Liu Yuansi.

He has already made up his mind and clamored to go to Jinao Mountain. Liu Yuanqi couldn't persuade him.

It was only when Liu Qingyuan went there in person that he temporarily stabilized him.

Only If we add more fuel to the fire, Liu Qingyuan can't control him.

I have already thought about how to burn this fire, Liu Yuansi can't run away. "

"As for Liu Yuanchen, this boy is too cautious, like an old turtle.

In the past, when he was working in Songyun Peak, a few clansmen watched him, and they could only fine him a few spirit stones for a small mistake.

No matter how provoked, he would never take action.

It is impossible to force him to go to Jinao Mountain. "

"Now he is a disciple of the Pill Hall, and he has been valued by Zhang Tangzhu, so hard means cannot be used.

There is no room for maneuvering the means of using the force to fight the force.

Those elders who are on good terms with us will not offend Zhang Tangzhu for us. "

"Liu Yuanchen has no flaws to exploit, and ordinary strategies will not play a big role.

If you want to deal with him, you must take risks.

I already had a plan, it was just too risky.

Even if it succeeds, at least one clan member's future in the clan will have to be sacrificed.

If it fails, the family may suffer great losses.

I wanted to slowly find an opportunity to deal with him, but he got the Little Barrier-Breaking Pill.

Once you break through the seventh level of nourishing qi, your level of alchemy will also improve somewhat, and your status in Hall Master Zhang's heart will also increase accordingly.

If you don't move him now, I'm afraid you won't have another chance in the future. "

Chen Changshan pondered for a moment: "Liu Yuanchen's threat is not small, and it is worth sacrificing a clan member for the future of the family.

As long as the family's foundation within the clan is not shaken, it won't be a problem. "

The foundation of the Chen family in the sect refers to Chen Changshan himself and Chen Zongming.

As long as there are no problems with the two of them, everyone else can be sacrificed.

Chen Zongming sneered: "Since Third Uncle, you are planning to give it a try, then I can guarantee that Liu Yuansi will definitely die, and Liu Yuanchen will either die or be disabled."

…

On the third day after the recruitment order is issued, the recruited disciples will rush to Jin'ao Mountain to garrison.

At noon the next day, Liu Yuanchen received news from Liu Qingyuan, saying that he was going to support the tribesmen participating in the war at Chunfeng Tower.

This can be regarded as a common practice. When a clan member is going to war, the monks of the same clan will hold a banquet.

The Liu family is in Qingdan Sect, and there are two outer disciples who are already at Jin'ao Mountain.

The protagonist of this practice is only Liu Yuanqi.

Liu Yuanchen did not delay and soon arrived in front of Chunfeng Tower in Danxifang City.

Today's Chunfeng Tower is particularly lively, and there are many family members in the Qingdan Sect.

When it's time to go to the battlefield, Zhuang Xingjiu is naturally indispensable.

When Liu Yuanchen came to the private room, Liu Qingyuan and Liu Yuanqi had already arrived.

After greeting Liu Qingyuan, he patted Liu Yuanqi on the shoulder: "Ninth brother, be careful on the battlefield."

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door.

A somewhat harsh voice sounded: "Isn't this the loser of the Liu family who relies entirely on his family for his cultivation? I heard that you also want to go to the battlefield?"

Another person ridiculed: "Are you kidding? He is the Liu family's baby bump, so I don't dare to bump into him.

If the skin is scratched, he should run back to Dongyang Lake and cry. "

Before he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into laughter.

Immediately afterwards, a roar sounded: "Shut up! Chen Zongming, you are a weakling, you have the guts to fight with me!"

Some harsh voices sounded again: "I don't dare, I have to go back to take care of the spiritual field and earn resources.

It's not like Mr. Liu, the head of your family, whose family pays for everything he eats, drinks, and eats.

As a disciple of the Guard Hall, there is no need to go to the battlefield. "

Another person spoke again: "I heard that Elder Mo took action and saved him.

Mr. Liu, the head of the family, is really lucky! I have been a spoiled child in my family since I was a child. After I left the family, I was on a soft diet. I, a miserable person like me, cannot compare. "

The roar sounded again: "I will go to Jin'ao Mountain to kill the enemy! When I earn the elixir to break through the Qi Sea Realm, you will kneel in front of me and admit your mistake!"

Chen Zongming sneered and said: "If you really have that ability, let alone kneel down, I can kneel down or kowtow to you three times or nine times. But can you do it?"

Hearing the quarrel outside the box, Liu Yuanchen knew that Liu Yuansi was being ridiculed.

This guy is reckless and arrogant, but he can't stand being provoked.

After hearing Chen Zongming's words, Liu Yuansi's eyes turned red.

He took out his long sword and raised his hand to strike at Chen Zongming.
