The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Hongzhou, the front line, a towering war pagoda stands on a high ground.

On the top floor of the War Pagoda, there is a spacious and bright meeting hall.

At this time, Cao Rui followed Gong Yunxiao and slowly walked into it.

Cao Rui sensed it slightly and found that there were more than thirty Jindan monks gathered in the conference hall. They were sitting on futons in different parts of the hall around the table above.

These monks looked solemn, as if they were discussing important matters.

Beside the table at the top, there were three monks sitting there. They emitted powerful Dharma fluctuations, and they were clearly three Nascent Soul monks!

These three Nascent Soul monks are the supreme commanders of the Second Army.

Beside them, there were more than a dozen circular mirror instruments of different sizes placed. These circular mirror instruments shone with strange light, and real-time battle scenes on the front line were displayed inside.

In some mirrors, nothing happened, while in some mirrors, monks were fighting with demons.

Presumably it was through these magic weapons that they witnessed the fierce battle between Cao Rui and the demons.

놘Since the recent war has not been tense, most of the monks gathered in the meeting hall.

When Cao Rui stepped here, everyone's eyes fell on him.

There was both curious observation and admiration for his previous superb fighting performance in these eyes.

It is enough to kill a team of demon raiders by oneself. No one in the golden elixir stage here dares to say that he can do this steadily.

"Commander, this is fellow Taoist Chen Fugui. He is a casual cultivator who has just left seclusion. He came here just to join the Demon Slayer Alliance and slay the demons together." Gong Yunxiao opened his mouth and gave Cao Rui A brief introduction was given.

At this time, a white-haired middle-aged monk slowly stood up and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This monk's white hair shines like silver frost, and every strand of hair seems to contain a faint spiritual light, giving people a mysterious and noble feeling.

His face has a high nose, and his deep eyes reveal determination and power.

His eyes fell on Cao Rui, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "With unparalleled monks like Daoyou Chen joining us, why not worry about eliminating the demons?"

Gong Yunxiao sent a message slightly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, this is the commander of the second army of our Demon Slayer Alliance, Bai Qianhe!"

Cao Rui's heart moved, and he was no stranger to this surname.

The Bai family where Bai Qianhe lives is, like the Gong family, one of the five major immortal cultivating families in Hongzhou.

Their strength is strong and their foundation is profound. They have always been an important force in the world of immortal cultivation in Hongzhou.

Cao Rui bowed his hands slightly to Bai Qianhe and saluted: "Commander, I praise you!"

Bai Qianhe smiled and nodded.

"Old 꽬 is just telling the truth. Your previous performance on the battlefield has been seen by us through the detection magic weapon."

"It is an honor for the Second Army that you are willing to join the Second Army."

"Although exterminating demons is a righteous act, those who deserve rewards must still be rewarded."

"Tell me, what do you need?"

It is different from the merit-based rewards during the Qi-refining period.

Golden elixir stage monks make greater contributions in the battle to exterminate demons.

Especially for the casual cultivators in the Golden Core stage, if they hide in the deep mountains and old forests without leaving the mountains, the Demon Slayer Alliance will have nothing to do with them.

Therefore, when the Demon Slayer Alliance was first established, it was set that as long as the Golden Core Stage monks participated in the Demon Slayer Alliance, they would be given a reward opportunity.

The reward items were proposed by the Golden Pill cultivator himself.

The source of the items was led by the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and the five major families made unified contributions.

Of course, after using this reward, the Golden Core cultivator will have to serve on the front line for at least one year.

On the way here, Gong Yunxiao mentioned this matter to Cao Rui.

This opportunity must be taken advantage of.

Because the Demon Slayer Alliance is really willing to pay a lot of money now, and Cao Rui's combat performance is so outstanding.

Bai Qianhe paid a heavy price and was willing to keep Cao Rui in the Second Army.

"If necessary..."

"Is there a treasure that weakens the fire spirit root? Or a treasure that increases the water spirit root and wood spirit root?" Cao Rui asked.

The Demon Slayer Alliance's treasure trove now basically gathers the top treasures from the entire Hong Continent. Maybe they also have such top treasures that can affect spiritual roots.

Long Xinyue taught Cao Rui the five elements innate spiritual roots. Cao Rui currently balances the golden spiritual roots and the golden spiritual roots. He only needs to balance the other three spiritual roots to gather the real five elements innate spiritual roots.

Gathering the innate spiritual roots of the five elements can not only speed up the practice, but also greatly improve Cao Rui's combat power. It is currently the fastest way for Cao Rui to improve his combat power and potential.

After Cao Rui finished speaking, all the golden elixirs in the conference hall showed no expressions.

Bai Qianhe also didn't feel that Cao Rui was so open-minded, and obviously believed that Cao Rui's battle skills were completely matched to such top-notch treasures.

Bai Qianhe thought for a moment and then said: "It is rare to find treasures that can affect spiritual roots. It is a bit difficult to gather three treasures at the same time, but I promise to give you one of them within three days, and within one year, I will give it to you." I’ll give you the other two!”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Rui was slightly startled.

What a generous reward!

It turns out that what he means is that as long as one of the treasures is enough.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qianhe now directly wanted to collect all three treasures from Cao Rui.

However, this may also be Bai Qianhe's deliberate move. The purpose is to use the spiritual root treasure to keep Cao Rui in the Second Army.

Anyway, it will take time for the influence of Lingyin Jade Pendant to expand.

According to preliminary estimates, it will take several years for each monk in Yunzhou to acquire a Spiritual Sound Jade Pendant.

Cao Rui naturally didn't mind the time issue.

So Cao Rui nodded: "In this case, it will trouble the commander-in-chief."

"Okay, everyone welcomes the new commander of the Second Army, swordsman Chen Fugui!"

As soon as Cao Rui joined, Cao Rui was directly given the position of commander for hundreds of years. This is a position awarded to Jindan monks who are profound in practice and recognized in combat.

The previous Shi Shatian did not have this qualification.

The entire Second Army, including the thirty Jindan monks in the meeting hall and those on missions, the number of leaders does not exceed forty.

Bai Qianhe asked Cao Rui to sit on the front seats of the thirty futons.

Obviously he believed that Cao Rui was at the forefront among the leaders present.

Then they continued the previous discussion, talking about preventing the raiding team from counterattacking into the moat.

Cao Rui was new here, so he was naturally confused and bored.

Gong Yunxiao was on the left side of Cao Rui. Upon seeing this, he sent a message to Cao Rui: "Recently, due to the death of two demon kings, the demons' offensive has slowed down. They are more looking for opportunities to infiltrate into the interior. There are no large-scale battles, so The commanders are relatively leisurely on a daily basis.”

"Our commander-in-chief is a restless master. If Lingxiao Sword Ancestor hadn't refused earlier, he would have wanted to form a raiding team and go straight to Qingzhou!"

"The issue of forming a raiding team has been discussed for many days. You came at the right time!"
