Ten days passed by in a blink of an eye.
During these ten days, Qin Tiexin strictly followed the list he made. He practiced "Primordial Unity Instruction" and "Cauldron Eating Art" every day, and Body Tempering Ninth Layer needed all kinds of medicinal materials. Merit Points and part of Spirit Stone have been collected in the market, and most of them are missing. The only thing missing is the main ingredient "Hundred-Year Earth Marrow Milk", which he has not yet obtained. He will keep it in mind and prepare to pay attention to it after Northern Frontier.
Most of his energy was invested in martial arts training and material preparation. The cooperation between "Heavy Mountain Saber Technique" and "Five Phases Gang Steps" became more and more proficient, and the most obvious improvement was the throwing accuracy and power skills of "Falling Star Spear". In the empty valley, he once Throw the heavy javelin at the pre-marked rock bullseye every time, from thirty steps to fifty steps, then eighty steps, a hundred steps, and two hundred steps. Adjust your breathing, condense Divine Sense, feel the wind resistance, and predict the trajectory... When the javelin breaks through the air and finally accurately nails the bullseye, the sense of control increases day by day.
Sure enough, the realization and sense of urgency brought by actual combat are the fastest way to improve your skills.
The night before departure, he re-inventoryed and sorted out all his belongings. The brand new top-grade storage ring had a spacious and stable space, with elixirs, talismans, tools, materials, spare clothes, and a large amount of processed animal meat placed in separate categories. The Heaviness cauldron and the special Frost Storage Bag were also placed separately. Place. Thirty-five newly forged javelins (including ten Frost Spear, ten Bursting Spear, and fifteen ordinary Armor-Piercing Spear) are individually stored in a long special leather bag. Elder Gu presented by Wu Zhen The Devil Race illustrated jade plaques issued by Jade Slip and True Person Jianyun, as well as the red and black bead "spit out" from the tip of Edgeless Saber, are carefully stored in the inner pocket.
Everything is ready.
On the day of departure, the sky was still dark, and there was only a hint of fish belly white in the eastern sky. However, the huge square in front of the main peak of the Flowing Cloud Sect was already filled with people and brightly lit.
Qin Tiexin and Nangong Yao arrived on time. Nangong Yao today changed into a light blue outfit that is easy to move around, and wore a cloak of the same color. Her hair was neatly tied into a high ponytail, fixed with only a simple wooden hairpin. Her plain white silk silk and an exquisite jade bell were hung around her waist. She looked heroic and a little agile like a girl.
The scene in the square is quite spectacular. Three hundred Foundation Establishment Realm disciples have lined up roughly at the top of the peak. Everyone has a solemn expression, their breath is condensed, and they are silent. At the front, five whose breath is as deep as the sea Elder Golden Core stood with his hands behind his hands. Just standing there created an invisible pressure. On the high platform, True Person Jianyun was dressed in a moon-white robe. He looked up at the dim sky with his hands behind his hands. His clothes were gently fluttering in the cool breeze of the morning.
Nangong Yao, as a monk of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, is the main combatant stationed here. She nodded to Qin Tiexin and walked straight to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage disciple's queue. Although her level of weapon refining is actually extremely high, even her master True Person Luo Ling often praises her for her ingenuity, but in this kind of sect battle, she seems to be more willing to be on the front line of the battle.
Qin Tiexin followed the pre-arrangement and walked towards the "Logistics Support" area that was separately divided on one side of the square. There were not many people here, about thirty people, most of whom were older and whose cultivation level was Qi Refining Late Stage Between Foundation Establishment Early Stage, there were disciples with their own specialties, including those who were good at alchemy, talisman making, and animal training, and of course, weapon refiners like him. The atmosphere was relatively relaxed, and many people were still checking their luggage in low voices.
Standing in the logistics queue, Qin Tiexin glanced at the square array of three hundred Foundation Establishment disciples in front of him. The familiar or unfamiliar faces were particularly clear in the morning light and lights. Soon, he saw a few familiar people.
Zhou Chongshan.
He stood in the queue of disciples at the main peak, his posture as tall as a pine tree. Compared with the outer sect competition, his breath was more concentrated Heaviness, and he had obviously succeeded Foundation Establishment. That iconic Dust Peak Sword The sword was carried on his back, and the scabbard was simple. He seemed to sense the gaze, and turned around to look. When he saw Qin Tiexin, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. Then, as if he had made some determination, he strode out of the queue and walked towards the logistics area.
Many disciples around him cast curious glances.
Zhou Chongshan walked up to Qin Tiexin, stopped, cupped his fists and saluted, and said in a calm voice, "Junior Brother Qin."
Qin Tiexin replied, "Senior Brother Zhou."
Zhou Chongshan looked at Qin Tiexin, hesitated for a moment, and said, "What happened in the ring before..."
Qin Tiexin shook his head and said in a calm tone, "The winner in the arena is already clear, so there is no need to mention it again."
A wry smile appeared on Zhou Chongshan's face, "Junior Brother Qin misunderstood. What I want to say is about Green Cliff Town."
He paused and his expression became solemn. "After the competition, I went back to Lineage and carefully inquired about the cause and effect. Zhou Xian That guy, relying on his Lineage name It is indeed the fault of me, Zhou Household, for being domineering and taking things by force. As the representative of Zhou Household's generation in the sect, I apologize to Junior Brother Qin on his behalf."
As he said this, he took half a step back and bowed solemnly towards Qin Tiexin.
Qin Tiexin was slightly startled, then took a step forward and reached out to hold Zhou Chongshan's arm. "Senior Brother Zhou is serious. This matter has nothing to do with Senior Brother, and it is in the past."
Zhou Chongshan felt the steady force coming from his arm, and was slightly surprised by the tyranny of Qin Tiexin's physical strength, but he also straightened up. He looked at Qin Tiexin's magnanimous eyes, nodded, and showed a trace of relief on his face. "Okay. Junior Brother Qin is open-minded. The past has been revealed."
He changed his tone and said sincerely, "At Wind and Snow Pass, if you need help with formation coordination or earth element protection, just ask."
Qin Tiexin nodded. "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou."
Zhou Chongshan said no more, clasped his fists again, and turned around to return to the main peak queue. Qin Tiexin looked at his back, feeling a little more respect for this former opponent in the ring. This man has great talents in cultivation, but he is upright and open-minded. He has the courage to take responsibility when he should, and he is not shy when he should apologize. He is indeed a person worth getting along with.
His eyes continued to wander, and he saw another familiar figure in the crowd.
Li Yun.
She stood in the queue of the Pill Hall disciples, wearing a long aqua dress and a snow-white fox fur cloak, which made her skin as jade as jade and her temperament cool. Compared with before, her figure seemed It was drawn a little higher, and some of the youthful youthfulness of the girl faded away from the face, and it gained a bit more of an innocent charm. Hanging on the waist was still the Ice Icicle Sword, but there seemed to be a few faint frost lines on the scabbard.
She has succeeded Foundation Establishment. There is a pure and cold spiritual pressure faintly exuding from her body. It is obvious that she has just broken through and is still not completely restrained. This makes her look colder than before, like an iceberg and snow lotus that cannot eat the fireworks of the world. There is an invisible distance between her and the disciples who are whispering around her. She purses her lips slightly, with no expression on her face, and looks calmly at the high platform in front of her.
As if aware of Qin Tiexin's gaze, she turned her head slightly, looked across the crowd, and landed on Qin Tiexin in the logistics area.
The next moment, a clear and gentle smile bloomed on that cold face, like a glacier thawing. She nodded slightly to her fellow disciples and walked over. As she walked, she felt a faint, refreshing chill, which made several nearby logistics disciples shrink their necks involuntarily.
"I'm sorry," Li Yun stood in front of Qin Tiexin, with a lingering smile on his face, and his voice was still gentle, but a little more clear like ice and snow, "Not long after Foundation Establishment, there was still some leakage, and Cold Qi was not very well controlled."
"Congratulations to Senior Sister Li on Foundation Establishment's success." Qin Tiexin congratulated.
"Thank you." Li Yun smiled, looked at him, and then looked at the logistics queue where he was, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, "Junior Brother Qin, are you going to Northern Frontier too? So..."
"Well, as a weapon refiner, I will go with the follow-up team." Qin Tiexin explained simply.
Li Yun nodded, without asking for details, and seemed to explain, "I went to Northern Frontier for two purposes." Her tone became serious, "The first is to hunt Devil Race, and to sharpen my 'Ice Soul Sword Instruction' through actual combat. To practice kendo, behind closed doors is ultimately Lower Vehicle. The second is..." A glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, "I heard the elder Pill Hall mention that deep in the bitter cold land of the far north, 'Profound Ice Crystal Marrow' is occasionally produced. This thing is condensed from the essence of the world with ice and water attributes. If I can find it, it may improve the quality of my Spirit Root."
Qin Tiexin nodded to express his understanding. He had also seen Profound Ice Crystal Marrow's name in the classics. It was indeed a treasure that ice and water attribute monks dreamed of. No wonder Li Yun couldn't wait to go to Northern Frontier as soon as he Foundation Establishment.
The two briefly chatted about the current situation, and Li Yun said goodbye and returned to the Pill Hall queue. After she left, the lingering chill also dissipated, but her smile that looked like the melting ice and snow just now made several logistics disciples who noticed this scene cast surprised and envious glances at Qin Tiexin.
The sky gradually became brighter, and a red sun appeared in the eastern sky. Its golden light shot out, illuminating the entire square in a brilliant way.
At this moment, True Person Jianyun retracted his gaze to the sky, raised his right hand, and pointed it like a sword, gently pointing towards the back mountain of the main peak.
"Buzz--!"
A low humming sound sounded from behind the mountain, as if a giant beast had awakened. Immediately afterwards, a huge ship slowly rose from behind the clouds, blocking the rising sun and casting a huge shadow.
It was a giant airship nearly a hundred feet long! The whole body showed the Azure Gold color, the hull lines were smooth and majestic, and the surface was engraved with countless complicated and mysterious cloud pattern arrays, which were brilliant. The most eye-catching thing was that on both sides of the boat, there were three pairs of metal flying wings like giant bird wings. They were slowly adjusting their angles at this moment, shining with a cold luster in the morning light.
The large-scale Cloud Shuttle Boat! Flowing Cloud Sect Zhenzong-level flight Law Treasure can carry thousands of people and travel thousands of miles a day. It is a weapon for long-distance travel and large-scale personnel delivery!
The flying boat hovered steadily over the square, casting a shadow that enveloped everyone. Several wide light ladders hung down from the bow of the boat, reaching directly to the ground.
True Person Jianyun's clear voice spread clearly to every corner of the square, suppressing all the subtle sounds:
"Get aboard!"
