I have a talent tree

Chapter 87 Bottom
  The afterglow of the setting sun was shining, and the city below was covered in red.

The city is simple and majestic, surrounded by mountains and shrouded in mist. There is only a vast flat land directly in front of the city.

However, the hundred-meter-high city wall was riddled with holes, and there were still traces of blood that had not been cleaned.

There was even a smell of blood filling the air.

"The smell of blood, is the war in the border areas so serious?" A disciple couldn't help but cover his nose and frowned.

"It has always been like this. The demon clan's desire to encroach will never be extinguished. Our Hong domain will never have peace. This is just Beacon City. If we go to Tianguan, it will be even more bloody and cruel."

A senior brother who led the team said, obviously he had experienced it before.

Boom!
  The ship came to an open space in the center of the city and began to slowly fall.

Bai Jing stood beside the boat, looking down.

There are many pavilions in the city, extending in all directions.

But there seemed to be fewer people.

"Senior brother, I remember that Fenghuo City is a big city, so why are there so few people?" A disciple couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the empty streets.

"We just went through a war before, and many people died. Most of the people living here are the families of soldiers and soldiers. They don't have the energy to go out on the streets. It may become more lively after a while." Fang Wenze said.

boom!
  Not long after, the ship stopped a hundred meters above the clearing.

"There are quite a few people coming to greet us." Everyone lowered their heads and looked down.

I saw hundreds of people waiting neatly in the open space.

The leader was wearing silver armor and a sword inlaid with red jade.

He looks middle-aged, with a beard and a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes.

"That is the city lord of Fenghuo City, Fan Qing." Someone had learned about this place beforehand and introduced it to other disciples.

"When you go on later, please be more careful when you speak, be more respectful, and don't call the city lord by his name. This person is the lord of a city, has established great military exploits, and comes from another powerful immortal sect in our southern territory, and his status is not low. "A senior brother instructed.

at the same time.

Below, a slightly younger lieutenant to Fan Qing's right whispered:
  "I think the disciples of the Great Immortal Sect don't have a very good mental outlook. They are more or less cynical. Don't they know that this is a battlefield of life and death? Logically speaking, they should go to Tianguan to practice. How could this happen? Come to us."

"Don't be rude!" Fan Qing scolded and said:
  "The Shangqing Immortal Masters have their own opinions. How can you speculate? They are here to practice now to accumulate experience for the future. We, the monks in the Southern Realm, should work together to drive away the demon clan!"

when!
  While talking, an escalator slid down from the ship.

Fan Qing immediately led a group of soldiers to greet them.

In front of the escalator, the first to come down were the senior leaders from Shangqingshan.

"I have met all the immortals! This time you are here to practice. If Fan has not treated me well, please forgive me." Fan Qing said with a smile on his face and cupped his fists.

"Lord Fan City." Led by a senior brother from Huolingfeng, several people bowed and saluted one after another.

The senior brother from Huolingfeng smiled and said:

"I am the one who is bothering you during this experience. If those disciples do something wrong in the future, please ask Lord Fan to train them more. Don't be biased and worry about it."

"It should, it should." Fan Qing nodded.

He looked back again and again, wondering:

"May I ask the two seniors from Guishan? I have prepared two clean houses for them to live in."

Going to Qingshan Mountain to experience, there will always be two powerful guardians.

"My master only protects the road and does not want to disturb the city lord." Fang Wenze said.

Fan Qing nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Then, he said:
  "Fellow Immortal Masters, I have sent people to prepare a banquet at the City Lord's Mansion. Please give me this thin noodles to help you catch the wind and wash away the dust."

"Since the city lord has prepared food and wine, there is no reason for us not to sit down at the table." Senior brother Huo Lingfeng led the team and nodded with a smile.

"Liu Yuan!" Fan Qing called.

The middle-aged man on his left immediately bent down and responded: "Junior brother is here."

"Huh?" Facing the city lord's glare, Liu Yuan quickly changed his words:
  "The end will be here."

"You and the other soldiers will invite these immortal masters from Qingshan Mountain to the city lord's mansion later. I and several immortal elders will go ahead to discuss some matters."

"Take the order!" Liu Yuan nodded.

Then, Fan Qing and other senior brothers left here first.

call out!
  On the deck, Bai Jing looked at the crowded queue in the escalator and jumped down immediately.

The escalator is for those disciples with low cultivation level. In fact, many people don't need to take such trouble and can just jump off.

Of course, he is not the only one doing this, there are people who have done this for a long time.

thump.

Disciples jumped off the ground one by one and began to look around, full of curiosity about everything.

"The spiritual energy here is thin, and it can't compare to Qingshan Mountain." Each disciple felt the surrounding environment and frowned slightly.

"Everyone!"

When everyone came to the open space, Liu Yuan stood in front of the hundred generals. Facing these disciples, he smiled and said:
  "You are all high disciples of Qingshan Mountain, and you are well-informed."

"Coming to our Fenghuo City to experience this time is a blessing to our city."

"However, when you go to the countryside, do as the Romans do. I have to establish a few rules with you first. They are also the rules of this city. If you have any dissatisfaction, please forgive me."

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Wu Yu stood at the front of the disciples and said.

I set rules for them when they first arrived. I wanted to give them a show of strength.

"Then I'll tell you the truth." Liu Yuan said with a smile:
  "First, when you come here to practice, you must abide by our rules. This is a battlefield against the demon clan. You are not allowed to leave the city at will. Well, this is for your own good."

"Secondly, when you come here, you should start from the bottom and obey the orders of your superiors. If you disobey, I'm afraid you will be punished according to our rules, and your teacher will not be able to protect you."

"Third, although this city is large, we are not allowed to jump or fly at low altitudes, so as not to disturb the people in the city."

"Fourth, there is a curfew in this city. It is forbidden to go out at night. Otherwise, if you are beaten to death as a demon spy, don't say I didn't warn you."

"Fifth..."

Not long after.

"That's all. Please keep it in mind and abide by it. I hope everyone can get along happily in the days to come." Liu Yuan said with a smile.

Then, he and a hundred soldiers led the disciples from Shangqing Mountain to the city lord's mansion.

……

at the same time.

Hiss~!

Outside the city, there was a huge python hovering on an ancient tree that was 100 feet tall.

The huge snake head spit out the letter and looked at the ships in the sky.

Then, it stepped down from the ancient tree, turned around and walked away, crawling very fast.

A quarter of an hour later.

The python came to the depths of a forest.

Here, all kinds of beasts roar together, all kinds of monsters emerge in endlessly, and on a plain in the distance, there are even more buildings.

This is the stronghold of the demon clan.

"Sir!" The python got into a magnificent palace and uttered human words.

"Have you found out?" In the hall, there was a tiger demon with the head of a tiger and the body of a human body.

"It's not the support from the Master Minghuo Sect, it seems to be the monks from Shangqing Mountain, and there are many young disciples who seem to be here for training." Boa Snake said.

"Going to Qingshan Mountain?" The tiger demon's tiger eyes became dignified, and he muttered:
  "Experience? How could those people who have experienced come to this small Beacon City?"

"Sir, what should we do? If we are the ones who go to Qingshan Mountain, we will never be our opponents."

"I will report this matter to the higher-ups of our clan. We'd better not take any action in the near future. Let's take a look first and then talk about it." The tiger demon thought for a while and said.

"When can our demon race invade the territory of the human race? We have been fighting for so many years. If this stalemate continues, it will be the worst for us at the bottom. Why don't the two demon saints kill the human sword master?"

The python thought a little.

"You dare to discuss this matter? Just obey the orders and don't have such thoughts again." The tiger demon scolded.

……

evening. In a spacious manor in the city lord's mansion, the disciples were drinking wine, eating delicious food, and chatting animatedly.

"I originally thought that training was just about traveling around and seeing the world. I didn't want to start from the bottom. Isn't this just to suffer."

At the wine table, Xiao Yucheng felt a little resentful due to the smell of alcohol.

"Brother Xiao, be careful. This is the decision of the mountain sect. It's done. Moreover, this place is the territory of Minghuo Sect. Without my senior brother from Qingshan Mountain to guard it, we must not let those people hear this." Xu Shan said.

"By the way, where should I stay tonight?" Xiao Yucheng asked again.

"Someone asked, and it seems to be arranged in the outer city." Tan Zhuo replied.

"Outer city?" Xiao Yucheng's eyes narrowed and he said:
  "If the demon clan comes in, won't we suffer first?"

"Don't worry, the defensive formation in Beacon City is pretty powerful. In the previous battles, several Yuanshen realm experts worked together to break the formation, but the defensive formation was not breached." Shen Miaomiao said with a smile.

"But I heard that it is not a single-family courtyard, but a small house per person." Tan Zhuo spoke again, making Xiao Yucheng jump in anger:

"what?"

"Keep your voice down, it's a surprise." Ling Qinghe gave this person a white look.

"Actually, these are not the main problems. The master also hopes that we can suffer some hardships. The key is the allocation of tasks." Li Huaian suddenly said.

"Actually, Fenghuo City already knows these arrangements well. I heard from their soldiers that they have already obtained the basic information about us, and I'm afraid they will have to arrange the mission tomorrow." Tan Zhuo spoke again.

Everyone couldn't help but look sideways.

This guy wants to ask questions!
  No wonder Bai Jing caught his eye and accepted him as his follower. He really had something special about him.

Bai Jing took a sip of wine and said:

"According to what Teacher Liu said, the arrangements should be made according to what we have learned."

"What Brother Bai said is true. Formation cultivation and alchemy cultivation are the easiest. Spiritual cultivation may be dangerous, and many people will be sent to patrol." Tan Zhuo nodded and said.

"Inspection?" Xiao Yucheng smiled and said, "Isn't it just patrolling on the streets?"

"No, I want to go out of the city for inspection!" Tan Zhuo spoke again, causing the expression on the spiritual cultivator's face to change slightly.

"You can just defend the city, why go out of the city?" Xu Shan's face was solemn, feeling the danger involved.

"The war between the two tribes is also an information war. We must be on guard against the demon tribe's actions. We cannot just turn a blind eye and wait for others to fight," Bai Jing said.

"It doesn't matter, I actually hope to learn some unique skills from Bai Jing!" Shen Miaomiao interrupted.

This is also the reason why she chose to join this table.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my fellow Taoists. Flying here is prohibited, and I'm a formation cultivator, so I probably won't have the chance to leave the city." The young man smiled.

"..." Shen Miaomiao, the other party refused her in every possible way.

"We have a life-saving talisman given by our master in our spiritual training, so we are not afraid of danger. However, if we persist in this experience until the end, we will be rewarded with a thousand immortal skills. I really don't want to miss this immortal skill." Xu Shan sighed.

"This is not the only thing you have to be wary of." Bai Jing said:
  "I heard from Senior Brother Fang that the reward and punishment system in Beacon City is also related to our experience. If we are penalized five times, we will automatically quit the experience. You have to make sure not to make mistakes during the experience."

"Brother Bai said that." Xu Shan nodded.

"Brother Bai is saying that as long as you make five mistakes, you can quit the training?" Xiao Yucheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"You don't want to..." Ling Qinghe glanced at him and said.

"Hehe." Xiao Yucheng smiled and said nothing more.

Bai Jing naturally understood what he meant. He became a thorn in the side and could return to Qingshan after making five mistakes.

He had this idea when Fang Wenze first mentioned it to him.

However, since he was one of Lingxiu Peak's two unparalleled prides and could set an example, such thoughts were suppressed.

Otherwise, he will definitely take office tomorrow and return to the mountain the day after tomorrow.

……

After a banquet, it was already late at night.

Tan Zhuo and Xu Shan helped Xiao Yucheng, who was smelling of alcohol, to go out.

Bai Jing, Li Huaian and four others walked side by side behind.

Following the guidance, the group came to the outer city area in the south of the city.

The destination is ahead.

Rows of eight-story pavilions stand in the past, which looks quite impressive.

At this time, many disciples from Shangqing Mountain had entered.

"Please tell me your names, immortal masters!"

Arriving at the gate, a gatekeeper said.

"Bai Jing." Bai Jing spoke first.

"Master Immortal, please take it. The specific location and room number are recorded on it." The soldier first found Bai Jing's information in a mirror, then took out the key he had prepared and handed it to him.

Bai Ding nodded, then turned to look at everyone:

"I'll go ahead and see you again when you have a chance."

With that said, he stepped into the door.

"Room 3 on the sixth floor of the third building." Bai Jing read the room number silently.

Clang.

Not long after, Bai Jing opened the door of his room.

Well, it was small, about the same size as the dormitory he had when he was a student in his hometown.

"The space is so small, it's difficult for me to set up a formation." Bai Jing frowned slightly.

"Since the master's arrangement is like this, there must be a reason for it."

He didn't think much about it and just settled for what he had come.

Anyway, the formation repair work is relatively easy and there is no danger.

Afterwards, Bai Jing went directly to the bed and sat cross-legged.

hum!
  As the Heavenly Scroll rotated, the surrounding spiritual energy quickly surged toward him.

But after a while, he opened his eyes and frowned:
  "No, I won't feel comfortable if I don't set up the concealment formation, let alone practice the other two types of Heavenly Scrolls."

At present, he has opened up the ninth level of Daotai Lingchi. As long as the two Heavenly Scroll techniques are perfected, the inner elixir can be condensed just around the corner.

But in the current environment, how could he practice the Water, Fire and Heavenly Scroll with peace of mind.

"We still have to find a way to move out." Bai Jing thought to himself.

……

The next day.

In an open space near the city wall, a group of cultivators gathered together.

Bai Jing stood in the crowd, a little lost in thought, thinking about how to build a single-family courtyard.

"Everyone!"

At this time, a stern voice brought him back to reality.

Bai Jing looked up and saw a young man wearing Taoist robes standing directly in front of him.

Just listen to the other party say:
  "My name is Monday."

"No matter where you are from, when you come to our Beacon City, you must obey our instructions. I will arrange your tasks from now on."

"Did you see that wall?" Zhou Zhou pointed to the opposite city wall.

Everyone turned around and looked, not knowing what was going on.

"A bunch of idiots." Zhou Zhou cursed in a low voice.

Then, he waved his sleeves lightly.

In front of the city wall, there were fluctuations, and a thin light curtain appeared. Runes were everywhere, and it looked extremely complicated.

However, in this light curtain, there is a gap as big as a bowl.

"Your task today is to repair the city defense array."

　I'm stuck. I have an idea when it's update time. I'll see if I can write more tomorrow.
