Cultivation of Immortals Starts from the Roots

Chapter 97 Preparing to attack (start first and change later)
"you……"

Yan Hui gave a long sigh, and suddenly grabbed Tong Ying by the collar, and shouted loudly:
"How can you betray your brother from the same sect? This is a traitor!"

Tong Ying was dangling from the ground, and suddenly smiled sadly:
"What can I do? I'm just a little foundation cultivator."

"If I was like that Gong, with the blood of the ancient true spirit flowing in my body, how could I get into the field in front of me?"

Looking at the dwarf female cultivator with a helpless smile on her face, Yan Xiuwen couldn't help but appear in her mind.

Yan Hui let out a sigh, let go of her hand, and stood up with her back to Tong Ying.

The two were silent for a long time, and Tong Ying's voice finally came, choked with sobs:

"Senior brother Xue needs a lot of merit, otherwise Gong Yushu won't let him go easily."

"The heads of casual cultivators outside the city, the corpses of sea beasts..."

"How much do you want?" Yan Hui asked.

Tong Ying reported a number.

Hearing this number, Yan Hui was stunned, and he said softly:

"Do you know, now the people of the True Spirit Sect have controlled all the teleportation arrays in the city, and the entry and exit of all monks are strictly controlled."

"Do you know Gong Yushu's strength? If he is discovered, even if Tianfu Pavilion is an outer sect under the Zhenling Sect, he may be swept out by him."

"Originally, Senior Brother Xue made an offer to buy goods from the City Lord's Mansion, but the assassination of the Young City Lord caused the matter to be delayed, so I was sent to find you."

Tong Ying spoke quickly at this moment, without the slightest panic and fear before.

After half an hour.

"Uncle, are you injured?"

In the stronghold of Tianfu Pavilion, a qi training disciple handed Tong Ying a silk scarf, watching her wipe the blood with surprise in her eyes.

Tong Ying wiped her forehead, but smiled in her heart:

"You can get a lot of spirit stones with a little blood on your forehead, but it's really worth it."

She smiled and took out a storage bag from her arms, looked at it, and flicked the body of the bag with her fingers excitedly.

This storage bag contained the corpses of dozens of Tier [-] sea beasts, including several Tier [-] monsters.

But Tong Ying didn't intend to hand it over to the City Lord's Mansion to exchange for meritorious service.

She handed the storage bag to her disciples and ordered:
"Together with the previous magic weapon, it will be sent to Fairy Xu Yun in the City Lord's Mansion immediately, and all will be replaced with spirit stones."

The subordinate took the storage bag and asked respectfully: "Are there any other orders?"

"No more, Senior Brother Xue will be back soon." Tong Ying smiled,
Seeing his subordinates rushing out, Tong Ying lay comfortably on the bed, the smile on his lips still hasn't faded away.

She had already seen Xue Leng's cold figure nodding with satisfaction when he came back.

At the same time, he was alone in the Baichuan building.

Xue Leng looked stunned, as if he had just recognized Gong Yushu.

Then he immediately corrected his attitude and met again with the courtesy of a teacher and brother, and he was very respectful in his words.

"It turned out that Senior Brother Gong was in person, and Junior Brother was rude just now."

This Gong Yushu is also strange, just now he looked like he was inquiring about the crime, but now seeing Xue Leng lowered his posture, his expression softened a lot in an instant, and he just nodded slightly.

Xue Leng also has experience in dealing with such people, he just responded step by step:

"The disciple was ordered to come to the city to wait for your orders, Senior Brother Gong, can you...

Before he finished speaking, Gong Yushu said indifferently:

"The Tianfu Pavilion is located in the outer city, but it's your turn to be on duty today. If you don't go to patrol the sea, what are you doing here?"

With panic on Xue Leng's face, he bowed again and explained in a panic:

"According to the orders of the Lord of the City, the disciples in the pavilion are mainly responsible for drawing talismans in the rear, and the patrol has been handed over to the disciples of other sects."

"Oh? Did Senior Xu Mi give you an order? It seems that I misunderstood my junior."

Gong Yushu raised his eyebrows and muttered in a daze.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Senior Brother Gong has a lot of things to do every day, so these trivial matters are naturally out of your ears."

Xue Leng lowered his head, and his tone became more respectful.

This move was obviously very useful. After accepting the gift calmly, Gong Yushu helped Xue Leng up, and said with a smile:

"Just put your heart into it. The situation in the city is getting more and more difficult now. If you work alone, you won't be able to withstand the beast disaster on the other side."

"What's more, there are evil cultivators making trouble in the islands outside the city."

"If Junior Brother has this spare time to drink, why not go to the nearby islands every day to inspect it, and you will gain something."

Xue Leng nodded quickly and said yes, but this kind of polite talk was just passing by, and he quickly asked about the deployment of the seaside.

Most of an hour passed.

In the restaurant, Xue Leng tried his best and finally sent Gong Yushu away.

There was no accident. In the following days, Xue Leng led several of his subordinates to patrol the waters around the city that never sleeps, capturing some low-level monsters for business.

Xue Leng has always been very careful, restraining his subordinates as much as possible, not to conflict with people from the True Spirit Sect.

Even seeing the disciples of the True Spirit Sect, they hid far away.

The current Xue Leng has a hidden identity, so he naturally acts in a low-key manner.

But the work of patrolling the sea area was not too affected.

The daily task of Tianfu Pavilion is to keep watch and draw talismans.

Using Xue Leng's powerful spiritual sense to search for sea beasts, coupled with the hard work of the foundation-builder monks in the City Lord's Mansion, the efficiency of hunting monsters is getting faster and faster.

Every day, Xue Leng's team handed over many more corpses than any other team.

Moreover, after Xue Leng's ruthless style last time, Gong Yushu's attitude towards him changed a lot. Every time he handed in a task, he would pat Xue Leng on the shoulder to praise him.

Xue Leng's reputation became more and more famous in the city that never sleeps, and it also attracted many jealous eyes.

The team of Tianfu Pavilion has also grown stronger.

From the beginning of twenty or so people, gradually to thirty, and now to 50 people!

In addition to the disciples belonging to the Tianfu Pavilion, there are more casual cultivators who are homeless in the city.

Although most of them are just ordinary Qi training monks, as the reputation of Tianfu Pavilion is getting more and more famous, there are also two or three Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators who come here admiringly.

For everyone in Tianfu Pavilion, this is definitely good news that couldn't be better.

You must know that there were only two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Xue Leng and Tong Ying, in Tianfu Pavilion who went to the city that never sleeps this time.

Day after day, as time went by, the deployment in the city became more and more stable.

Every time he went out, Xue Leng had to hide some monster corpses and come back after returning to his residence.

Use the Corpse Slaughter Soul Coffin to refine the corpse and provide it to the Bone Ghost Corpse.

Under the nourishment of a large number of monsters, the cultivation base of the bone ghost corpse has improved quite quickly.

And Tong Ying, who followed his butt like a shadow all day long, also followed suit. Every time, he secretly hid some monster corpses to cultivate the two low-level copper corpses that Xue Leng gave her.

Xue Leng naturally turned a blind eye to this, and even paid close attention to the two corpses in Tong Ying's hands.

It didn't take long before he discovered a problem, the potential of refining corpses was limited!

This point is actually recorded in the "Deed of Hell Corpse", no matter whether it is a natural corpse or a captive corpse, it is divided into grades.

This is like the grade of a spiritual weapon, or the grade of a spiritual root.

The grades of corpses are divided into ordinary corpses, iron corpses, copper corpses, silver corpses, and golden corpses.

The further you go, the higher the grade, the faster the speed of strength improvement, and the more powerful and strange the magical powers you have.

And the corpses above the silver corpse will occasionally give birth to one or two powerful supernatural powers.

Every disciple of Tian Corpse Valley hopes to have a high-grade corpse, because the disciples of Tian Corpse Valley are all cultivated on the corpse, so the higher the grade of the corpse, the more effective it is to cultivate.

However, corpses above copper corpses are not so easy to produce.

This has a lot to do with the cultivation level, physique, cause of death, and environment of the corpse.

The two corpses controlled by Tong Ying are just the most common copper corpses, which were refined by monks in the early stage of foundation establishment.

The Bone Nether Corpse is a disciple with a silver corpse, which was refined from the bones of a Gold Core Body Cultivator.

Moreover, he also signed the Underworld Corpse Contract with him. Its special supernatural powers did not disappoint Xue Leng, and it was a filthy body.

This special corpse supernatural power has a natural restraint against metal instruments and spiritual instruments such as flying swords.

Even without the help of corpse energy, he could easily resist the flying sword's slash.

Of course, as Xue Leng's natal corpse, Xue Leng can borrow this supernatural power, but he has never used it.

Obviously, the two refined corpses in Tong Ying's hands did not possess such supernatural powers.

Knowing this result, Xue Leng quickly lost interest in these low-level copper corpses, and turned to nurturing bone corpses wholeheartedly.

The days of inspection were very relaxed, and there were no disturbances. Naturally, the time passed quickly, and it was three months in the blink of an eye.

On this day, on the low hill outside the city, Xue Leng, Tong Ying, and a middle-aged man in the early stage of foundation standing stood side by side.

Everyone is dressed in black and black boots, with a black cloak wrapped around their body, a dragon blue pattern tattooed on their chest, and they are waiting for something by the roadside with respectful expressions and hands down.

The only difference is that because Xue Leng is the first repairer of Tianfu Pavilion, there is an additional rune seal engraved on his robe.

After a while, a series of flying swords of spiritual light came across the sky, and Gong Yushu arrived.

He is the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance in the city that never sleeps. Originally, such an action, with his strength, would stay under the enemy's nose.

However, Gong Yushu has a special status and cannot be involved in danger.

So during the operation, he stayed on a small island nearby, and only came to the sea to command remotely during the operation.

The sword light came to a steady stop, and Gong Yushu flew down, followed by the girl in blue gauze.

Xue Leng saw this woman from a distance, she was the nervous female cultivator she met that day outside the Wujian Temple.

But just glanced at it, and he looked away as if nothing had happened.

"What's the name of this fellow Taoist? I haven't seen it in Tianfu Pavilion before?"

Gong Yushu saw the middle-aged man next to Xue Leng at first sight.

"His name is Chen Bai, and he was just recruited a few days ago as a deacon of the guest house."

Xue Leng didn't dare to neglect, he quickly stepped forward and bowed his waist, and replied.

"Loose cultivator, no wonder."

Gong Yushu smiled, but after finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked around, sighing:
"This time of fighting, many fellow Taoists will fall again..."

Now, Xue Leng stood there in a daze. He didn't expect that Gong Yushu didn't return the gift, but these irrelevant words came, so he could only bow his waist and stay still.

Fortunately, Tong Ying is also familiar with Gong Yushu, she raised her head and said:

"Senior Brother Gong, let us tell you about the situation and the arrangement, Senior Brother Xue, please go ahead."

After saying that, he tilted his head to Xue Leng, Xue Leng quickly straightened up, and reported the general situation of the nearby sea area.

But Gong Yushu sighed, he was obviously absent-minded:

"You are from the Tianfu Pavilion, and you can entrust important tasks. If there is anything, you can make up your own mind, and you don't need to tell me."

Xue Leng choked there, Tong Ying looked at Gong Yushu, his expression was hesitant and he didn't speak.

The blue yarn girl took two steps forward, grabbed Gong Yushu's sleeve, and said:
"Senior brother, you have to listen to it if you don't like it. From now on, it's your own business."

"If you can't even handle this small matter well, how will you manage the True Spirit Sect in the future?"

Seeing the disrespectful actions and words of the nun, Xue Leng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but think of what Li Xingjian said earlier.

What made Xue Leng even more unexpected was Gong Yushu's reaction after being pulled by his sleeve:

It's not the shock of being violated, nor the anger of being exposed, but helplessness.

He smiled wryly, and said to the girl in blue yarn:
"Okay, okay, go on, keep it short."

Xue Leng and the other three finished their respective task assignments one by one. Gong Yushu didn't question or ask, he didn't even have that plan, and waved his hand:
"Very well, let's do it."

Xue Leng had heard of this person's laziness before, and seeing him with his own eyes today really deserved his reputation.

With a silent sneer in his nose, he and Tong Ying and others turned over and rode the Griffin beast, and they wanted to go to the island occupied by the Loose Cultivation Alliance to start a bloody fight.

At this moment, Gong Yushu waved his hand to stop them, Xue Leng turned his head, he didn't know what Gong Yushu was going to say, but he guessed it wasn't useful, so he hesitated whether to come down.

"Fellow Taoists, life and death are up to you, take care of yourself."

Gong Yushu bowed his hands to everyone in the sky, and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Xue Leng nodded slightly, but was extremely speechless in his heart.

This Gong Yushu really doesn't have the slightest charisma, and at what time, he can still say such innocent words.

Is it possible for a cultivator to say life and death by fate?
In the past few days, Xue Leng put on an amiable appearance, got very close to the newly recruited casual cultivators, and behaved very well, but no one felt bad for him.

Among them, Tong Ying is the only one who can understand some of his thoughts.

Another three days have passed since the farewell to Gong Yushu.

Although it was wobbly all the way, after all, it has been three days since it started, and it is getting closer and closer to the front line where the two sides are fighting.

Everyone was driving the griffin monster, and soon fell into silence, and everyone was secretly on guard.

After an unknown amount of time, Tong Ying suddenly felt that someone had patted her on the shoulder, her heart skipped a beat, she jumped up subconsciously, and opened her eyes.

Xue Leng lowered his eyebrows, but the corners of his lips were full of sarcasm:
"Get up, a guest is coming!"

"what?"

Tong Ying was stunned for a moment, then realized that the "guest" Xue Leng said was not a friendly term, her heart tightened, and she quickly hugged the fiery red gourd behind her.

At this time, everyone woke up, and several disciples with higher cultivation bases immediately stopped around, protecting the rest of them in the middle.

The third Foundation Establishment cultivator in the team, a middle-aged man in a black robe, also quietly came to Xue Leng's side, with an ugly face.

　Thank you "Dark Night Curtain" for the monthly pass
