I have a talent tree

Chapter 86 The experience begins, Beacon City

"Where's Xu Shan?"

In the Wandan Hall of Wind Star Valley, Bai Jing looked at the unfamiliar faces and couldn't help but ask.

The first thing you do after leaving customs is naturally to collect your bills.

"Brother Xu Dao is still in seclusion. He knows that Young Master Bai will come and has already given instructions. He also asked Young Master Bai to give me the jade pendant."

The helper Xu Shan hired said, taking out a ledger and handing it over.

Bai Dingding nodded, handed the identity jade pendant around his waist to the other party, and then flipped through the account book.

After a while, about three thousand immortal skills were recorded.

"I haven't refined the elixir for a few months, but these are enough."

Bai Jing briefly glanced at the total amount of immortal power recorded in the jade pendant.

Then, he walked out of Wandan Hall.

Passing through several streets with few people, Bai Jing's body shape and facial features are changing in subtle and imperceptible ways.

When he walked to the lively market again, he was much taller and his delicate face had become a bit weathered.

call out!
  This time, Bai Jing did not use the small magical power of the wind system, but soared into the air with the strong spiritual power of the inner alchemy monk.

A wave of inner elixir emitted from his body.

"Without the blessing of a small magical power, the speed is a bit slow."

Bai Jing turned into a stream of light and moved away at an extremely fast speed.

But he didn't seem very satisfied.

Not long after, Bai Jing arrived at Xiafengfang City and went straight to Zhenqi Pavilion.

With skilled steps, he arrived in front of the spiritual weapon shop that he had cut in half before.

The bearded uncle was greeting another customer, but when he saw a new customer coming, he couldn't help but feel happy and said with a smile:
  "Guests are also asked to wait a moment, and you can take a look at what you like first."

Bai Dingding nodded and began to look at the various weapons in the booth.

"The Sky-Breaking Hammer." He stood in front of a sledgehammer, looking straight at it.

A small hammer is forty, a big hammer is eighty...

There are not many people who use hammers on Qingshan Mountain, but there are some.

I heard that there is a fairy mountain outside the Five Mountains, which hides a very powerful hammer technique. If you practice it to the extreme, you can break all kinds of magic with it.

It's a pity that Bai Jing has too many techniques to learn now and can't arrange them. Otherwise, if there is a chance, he must try the hammer method.

"Sir, what weapon do you like?"

Half a quarter of an hour later, the bearded uncle came to Bai Jing and asked with a little expectancy.

"Do you have any good swords here? It's best if it's relatively hard and won't break when touched. It should be of medium quality."

"Yes, of course."

The uncle nodded, patted the storage bag, and a long black box appeared on the counter.

He quickly opened it, and a black sword came into Bai Jing's eyes.

"Epee?" He was stunned.

"That's right." The uncle nodded and said:

"To say that the strongest among swords is the epee. Some metal materials are not easy to condense into thin swords, but the epee is just right. Its hardness is comparable to high-grade spiritual weapons, but the price is much lower."

Bai Jing frowned slightly.

He practiced swordsmanship just to practice the swordsmanship accompanying the Water Element Sky Scroll, the Water Cloud Swordsmanship.

But this sword technique is light and it is absolutely inappropriate to use a heavy sword.

Moreover, in order to experience the strength of the inner elixir, I accidentally broke the low-grade Shuiyun Sword, otherwise why would I buy another one.

Bai Jing thought for a while and said:
  "Take out the middle-grade Shuiyun Sword and have a look."

"Okay." The uncle nodded and put away the heavy sword.

Clang!
  Then, a standard spirit sword was placed on the stand. The uncle flicked it habitually, and the crisp sound was pleasant.

Buzz!

Bai Jing picked up the spirit sword, waved it gently, and nodded:
  "It's okay, the weight is just right, and it's stronger than the lower-grade ones."

"Your Majesty has a good eye. The middle-grade Shuiyun Sword is relatively low-grade. It is made of rare spiritual gold material, making it several times stronger, but it does not affect its light and thin feel."

"Let's negotiate a price." Bai Jing put the sword back into the sword case and said.

"Three hundred immortal skills!"

"one hundred!"

"..." Uncle.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Fellow Taoist, how can you bargain like this?"

"I heard that the weapons purchased from you can be recycled and exchanged for new ones?"

"That's what happened." The uncle nodded, and then he was stunned. He watched the other party take out a low-grade sword.

"My sword is just missing a corner. It doesn't take much immortal power to repair it. But I don't want to use it anymore. Fellow Taoist, I think you are a real person, so let's do it. I won't tell you the price. One hundred immortal skills, take this old sword back, and I will take the new sword away."

"(￣_,￣)" Uncle.

He also said that without bargaining, a hundred immortal skills plus a complete low-grade Shuiyun Sword would not be enough to exchange for a mid-grade one!
  In the end, Bai Jing successfully pocketed the middle-grade Shuiyun Sword with his 130 immortal skills.

"It's such a shame, I can't even earn a few immortal skills myself." The uncle kept complaining.

However, the other party uses the store's old products in exchange. If the order fails, the other party will use it to promote it, for fear of ruining the store's reputation.

After Bai Jing bought the weapons, he went to the Wandan Palace again.

Now that the inner elixir of the wind system has been condensed, it is time for the other two systems to catch up.

This time, for the sake of experience, he first chose to condense the inner elixir of the wind element to enhance his strength. Otherwise, in his plan, it would be fellow practitioners of the three elements.

...

The next day.

Boom boom boom!
  A series of melodious and familiar bells rang.

"Are you leaving?"

In the training room, Bai Jing raised his head and murmured.

Then, he tidied up a little and went out.

Just a moment later, Bai Jing returned to the courtyard.

"Don't forget the guy who's eating."

He came to the alchemy room and put the three alchemy furnace cauldrons into his storage bag.

Fortunately, he had changed into a larger storage bag before, which was more than enough to hold these alchemy furnaces.

Not long after.

Bai Jing came to a spacious martial arts field next to Xiafengfang City.

At this moment, many disciples gathered in the martial arts arena.

"No. 1 on the Qingyun Ranking of Formation Dao!"

When those disciples saw the young man, they all showed respect.

Liang Hai, the newcomer who gathered the purple Taoist platform, had a complicated expression.

During the Tianjuan trial, when the other party talked to him, he ignored him.

Now more than two years have passed, and he is not famous, but the other person has grown to the point that he needs to look up to him.

Bai Jing felt a lot of eyes falling on him, calmly.

He has seen no matter how big the scene is and is used to it.

He approached the crowd, and everyone made room for him.

Bai Jing looked at the young man in black at the front, and without refusing, stood directly over, side by side with Li Huaian.

"Fellow Daoist Bai!" Li Huaian suddenly greeted, leaving Bai Jing stunned for a moment.

Sure enough, after gaining strength and reputation, even this most silent and cold-tempered genius would take the initiative to say hello.

"Fellow Daoist Li." Bai Jing responded.

Neither of them were extroverts, so nothing happened after that, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

However, it was Li Huaian who broke the silence first:
  "Fellow Taoist, I heard that you have perfected the concealment formation. It is extremely powerful."

"So-so." Bai Jing replied humbly, but he was thinking in his heart, when did the other party know that his concealment formation was perfect?

Yes, it was probably Senior Brother Lin who told him.

That senior brother only paid much attention to him and Li Huai'an, and Lin Changsheng knew some of their secrets.

"When I get back from training, I wonder if Brother Bai can help me set up a concealment formation in that yard?"

Li Huaian spoke again, leaving Bai Jing slightly stunned and couldn't help but say:

"Fellow Taoist, are you going to set up a concealment formation?"

This genius doesn't need to hide anything, does he have an ulterior secret?
  But I heard the other party let out a long sigh and said:
  "I don't know why, recently, I always feel like I'm being watched, but I can't find the source."

"..." Bai Jing.

His face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat, and he said, "Maybe a certain powerful person from the mountain gate has a good impression of you."

"Having said that, I always feel uncomfortable being spied on. I'll ask Brother Bai for help when the time comes, and the price will be calculated according to the market price." Li Huaian handed over his hand.

"Okay." Bai Ding nodded.

It doesn't matter if it's arranged, his heavenly eye is specialized in these formations and magical gates, and he ignores them as if they are nothing.

call out!
  As he spoke, a ray of light flashed.

Immediately afterwards, a young man appeared in front of everyone.

"I've met Senior Brother Fang." The disciples bowed and saluted.

"Yeah." Fang Wenze nodded and said:
  "I will lead the team for this experience."

"You are from Lingxiu Peak. I hope that during the training period, you can support each other and help each other in the same boat."

"I sincerely follow my senior brother's teachings." Everyone nodded.

"Okay." Fang Wenze looked at the sky and said:
  "It's almost time, come with me to Fire Spirit Peak."

……

Climb the Huoling Peak.

It is located high in the sky, with dense purple air, shrouded in clouds and mist, and lush greenery.

Majestic spiritual trees dozens of feet high are everywhere.

In the medicinal fields in the distance, the elixirs are fragrant and full of vitality.

Birds and beasts appear and appear from time to time, and from time to time, escaping rainbows flash past in the sky, leaving behind beautiful rainbows.

now.

On the west side of the upper peak, there is a wide open space piled with jasper.

A dense crowd of figures gathered in the open space.

Their cultivation level is considered to be at the bottom of Qingshan, and they are clearly the newcomers of this class.

The faces of these people were filled with excitement, anticipation, anxiety, and solemnity.

Spiritual consciousness came and went, and it was quite noisy. There were groups of three or five, discussing lively.

call out!
  A huge crane flew over, and the disciples explored it with their spiritual senses.

"He's a newcomer from Yunlu Mountain!" A disciple said calmly as he recognized him.

"The newcomers from Immortal Mountain under the Five Mountains are all a bit weak." A disciple with a relatively top-notch cultivation level chuckled.

"We and the disciples from the Five Mountains have already gathered, but it's the people from other Immortal Mountains, why are they so slow?"

A disciple from Huolingfeng frowned and said, "We have been waiting for more than half an hour."

But soon, accompanied by a group of disciples Teng Yun, he shut up again.

"He is a disciple of Lingxiu Peak. The one in black is Li Huaian, and the young man next to Li Huaian is Bai Jing."

Someone pointed at the two peers headed by Yunzhong and said solemnly.

Lingxiufeng is not weak in strength, with two top talents emerging this time.

One of them condensed the golden Tao platform, and the other was the most powerful cultivator of the formation, overwhelming all the newcomers in the formation Tao Mountain and unable to lift their heads.

"Brother Bai!"

"Brother Bai!" Two voices came out one after another.

Xu Shan and Tan Zhuo looked at each other with kindness on their faces.

"Brother Bai!" Xiao Yucheng's voice also sounded, with a smile on his face.

"Isn't this person so enthusiastic about you?" Beside the supreme genius Jin Tao, a young man from an aristocratic family looked at Xiao Yucheng and said through a message.

"This is his choice. Don't mention it again. Bai Jing is ranked first on the Qingyun Ranking. You must remember not to provoke him. I won't dare to win easily after he gathers his inner elixir." Jin Tao said in a serious voice.

Boom!
  Everyone in Lingxiu Peak fell down and stood on the side of the clearing.

"Just wait for a moment." Fang Wenze left a word and walked towards the gathering place where the senior brothers who led the team from each lineage gathered.

"This experience not only involves the Eastern Realm Immortal Sect, but also the place of experience is not the three heavenly gates of my Shangqing Mountain."

As soon as Senior Brother Fang left, someone couldn't help but tell the news they got.

"It's not the three heavenly gates!" Bai Jing raised his eyebrows.

He has learned about newcomers' training and usually goes to Tianguan.

It was the most cruel but safe border town where humans and monsters faced off.

Because the city was built at the three most important places on the southern border, the great monks guarding it were extremely powerful.

And because of the important terrain and the cruelty of the battlefield, it is called Tianguan.

"Which city are you going to?" a disciple couldn't help but ask.

"Beacon City!"

……

Not long after.

The spiritual power fluctuated violently, and the sky suddenly darkened.

The newcomers looked up unconsciously.

In sight.

A ship that covered the sky slowly fell from the sky.

Wherever he passed, the thick clouds and the afterglow of the setting sun were all swallowed up.

The big ship occupies half of the sky and is extremely majestic.

Boom!
  The ear-piercing roar gradually became louder, and the surging spiritual energy rolled over, setting off huge waves.

Finally, it stopped in mid-air less than a hundred feet above the ground.

Bang!

A hundred-foot escalator emerged from the hull of the ship and descended.

"I still remember that back then, when I was still training, I once met the ship of Shanmen. At that time, I had the ambition to reach the clouds and threatened to stand on it. Now I will do it!" A disciple laughed loudly, and his heroic spirit was still alive.

"Me too!"

"... "

"That's Elder Liu!"

The formation cultivator's spiritual consciousness reached up and saw two figures standing on the bow of the ship.

One of them was Elder Liu who had taught them.

"Who is Elder Liu?" The other disciples were all unfamiliar with the two powerful men and asked curiously.

"That is the great power of my formation cultivator. The teacher's strength is respected in the Rizhao Realm. With him here, there will be no surprises in this experience." Cheng Feidu said with a smile.

"That's it." The others nodded, feeling more confident.

"It's time to set off. Everyone, please get on board."

Fang Wenze suddenly appeared in Lingxiufeng's camp and spoke.

"Let's go!"

Then, one by one, the disciples went up the escalator in an orderly manner.

Bai Jing was at the end of the long queue, and by the time he boarded Class A, it was already half an hour later.

"I've met Teacher Liu."

As soon as Bai Jing boarded Class A, he heard Cheng Feidu's voice reaching his ears.

He turned around and saw that the other party was in front of Elder Liu, saluting and saying hello.

Elder Liu was also kind to Bai Jing in teaching him, and even sent him a treatise on inner alchemy. He then went to pay his respects.

But before he took a few steps, Elder Liu was surrounded by a group of formation disciples.

"Junior brother Bai Jing." Bai Jing was about to walk over, but Fang Wenze suddenly stopped him.

He looked at the crowd gathering over there and had no choice but to turn around.

"Senior Brother Fang." Bai Jing came to Fang Wenze's side and bowed.

"Senior Brother Lin asked me to bring you some elixirs." Fang Wenze said, holding several more bottles of elixirs in his hand.

It is the Guiyuan Pill needed to engrave the formation!

"In this training, you formation cultivators don't have many tasks, so Senior Brother Lin hopes that you will not forget your own cultivation during the training." Fang Wenze recounted Lin Changsheng's words.

"I sincerely follow your senior brother's teachings." Bai Jing took the elixir respectfully.

Boom!
  While the two were chatting, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, and then the sound of explosions resounded through the sky.

The whole space began to blur, and the strong spiritual power was steaming, and everyone just felt depressed.

"boom."

Suddenly, a thunder shook everything.

Then, the ships that covered the sky took off, and everyone looked down. They saw that the majestic fairy mountains suddenly became smaller and smaller, until they became dots.

"It's finally stable." Someone found that the fairy boat was no longer shaking and breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Jing glanced at Elder Liu's position and found that there was still a group of people surrounding him, but there were fewer of them.

He walked over directly.

"I've met the teacher!"

Bai Jing came not far from Elder Liu and bowed in salute.

"You're here." Elder Liu raised his head, looked at the young man, and said with a satisfied smile:

"I thought you had forgotten me, old guy. If you don't come to me, I might be looking for you later."

"Thank you for your concern, teacher." Bai Jing said with a look of shame on his face.

Then, he looked at the two sides in front of Elder Liu and saw a formation disciple sitting cross-legged.

He immediately wanted to sit at the end, but was stopped by Elder Liu:
  "Come and sit next to me."

Bai Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Everyone's eyes were shocked, and then they showed bursts of envy.

"Only he can be treated like this." Cheng Feidu sat first on Elder Liu's left hand. With envy in his eyes, he watched the young man sit directly next to Elder Liu, very close to him.

Ning Feng looked calm and said nothing, but envy and jealousy had already surged in his heart.

"How is your practice?" Elder Liu asked.

"Disciple is ashamed. I have only mastered one formation to perfection so far, and the second one is slightly less successful."

Bai Jing looked ashamed and disappointed.

"..." Everyone.

Who are you shaming?
  Elder Liu nodded slightly and said:
  "The Five Elements Array is a bit more difficult than the basic array, but with your talent, this shouldn't be the only improvement."

All the monks are ashamed, this progress is not great?
  "It's because the disciple is in trouble and spends time refining alchemy." Bai Jing told part of the truth.

"Why are you thinking about refining alchemy? Then Lin Changsheng won't give you the resources?"

"Nothing, but the disciple is also very interested in alchemy, so he spent a lot of time." Bai Jing explained quickly.

Lin Changsheng couldn't bear this responsibility.

"Well, you still have to spend time on the formation in the future. You can't bury your own talent. Condensing the inner elixir should be your first priority." Elder Liu said slowly. He would not interfere too much with the disciple's practice, and he also believed that Bai Bai The scenery has its own measure.

Of course, the main reason is that the opponent is not his real disciple, but his disciple, and he will definitely crush the opponent's alchemy furnace to ashes.

"That's what the teacher taught you." Bai Jing said respectfully.

"Teacher, why did you go to Fenghuo City for this training? Aren't you always training in Tianguan?"

At this time, Cheng Feidu asked curiously.

Elder Liu smiled mysteriously, blinked his eyes, and said:
  "you guess."

"..." Cheng Feidu.

If he could guess, he wouldn't ask.

But Elder Liu obviously didn’t want to answer this question, so he changed his mind and said:
  "Speaking of Fenghuo City, let me ask you, what exactly are the humans and monsters fighting for? In this Fenghuo City, what do they rely on to fight against the monsters?"

"It's cultivation!" At this time, Ning Feng also intervened and said:
  "If my human monks were highly skilled, they would not have to go through thousands of years of bloody battles to achieve peace in the world. If the monks guarding the city of Beacon Fire were extremely powerful, the demon clan would not dare to invade easily."

Elder Liu nodded and looked around everyone: "Is there more?"

"It's a saint!"

A strange voice came from afar.

I saw a disciple with narrow eyes and wearing a green robe approaching.

He first bowed to Elder Liu, and then said:
  "If our human race gives birth to another true saint, there will be no need to go through war. The territory of the Western Region that has been devoured will be returned to us."

Elder Liu nodded, stroked his beard and said:
  "This is a precept, and it is also an expectation, but throughout history, it is very difficult for Hongyu to produce another true saint. The second ancestor was so stunning and stunning at the time, but he was still wiped out in the holy realm. The true saint status , it’s really unattainable.”

"So in the face of today's reality, what do you think the two sides are fighting about?"

"Resources?" Bai Jing asked tentatively.

Elder Liu looked sideways, glanced at him, smiled, and said:

"Yes, it's exactly the resource!"

"In secular kingdoms, there is a saying that 'the soldiers and horses go before the food and grass are used'. When they fight in all directions, the most important thing is food and grass, and they also fight for food and grass."

"And when we return to the battlefield where the monks and I are waiting, there are naturally resources!"

"When the two parties are about the same strength, the supply of resources is particularly important."

"On the border battlefield, there is a very famous elixir called 'Chen Guang'. Taking this elixir can unleash a power several times stronger than your own body!"

Ok?
  Everyone's eyes lit up.

However, Elder Liu shook his head and said with a smile:
  "I advise you to wait and not worry about it. Although this elixir has amazing effects, it has serious side effects. Taking too much may damage the Taoist platform."

Hearing this, everyone was a little less interested.

Elder Liu said again:
  "But when you enter the battlefield, you are wandering between life and death. If you encounter such a situation, you may have to take it even if you don't want to. After all, your life is important."

"So." He continued:
  "After this experience, spiritual cultivation may not be the most effective when fighting on the battlefield. It is probably alchemy cultivation that is the most effective."

"At that time, they will continuously refine various elixirs in the rear, allowing everyone to quickly improve their cultivation, or heal their wounds, or supply Chenguang elixirs. These are all extremely important for the war."

"Then what is the role of our formation cultivation?" A disciple couldn't help but ask.

"As a formation cultivator, you all know how to arrange several formations in your own yard. Doesn't the city not have a large defensive formation?"

"At that time, you and others may be involved in repairing the formation. Of course, the specific details will depend on the arrangements of the city lord of Beacon City."

"Isn't it the teacher who is in charge of the overall situation?" Cheng Feidu was surprised.

Elder Liu shook his head again and said:
  "I only protect you from big accidents. I will not interfere with other things. When the time comes, you will have to do what you want. The battlefield is no better than the sect. It is full of swords and swords. Life and death are the most common things. And from now on, Part of your life, this experience is to let you put away your immortal pride and grow up."

...

At the same time, Lingxiu Peak of Shangqing Mountain reached its peak.

"Are they setting off?" Yunhe asked.

"Yes." Lin Changsheng stood aside and nodded.

"Okay, it's our turn." Yun He said.

……

One day later in the afternoon.

In the southernmost part of the southern border, above a magnificent city, a huge ship covered the sky.

"arrive!"

Someone shouted something, and everyone woke up and looked at the city below.
