Chapter 170 Forced to Be Recruited

Inside Qianqiu Tower, Hong Le, who was sitting in charge, felt the humming of the formation core, and his legs softened.

"Shopkeeper."

The maid who took a nap together showed a touch of charm.

"Get lost!"

But at this moment, Hong Le didn't care about himself, pushed the maid in front of him away, and ran towards the bottom of Qianqiu Tower with a whoosh.

...

Under the earth, a big hole was torn in the formation spirit ban between the green jade vein and the cloud crystal vein.

The two brothers who had attacked each other were filled with crystal light in their eyes.

"Dongtian Stone!"

"Qi Yousan, if you chase me again, I will die with you."

Luo Hao roared. He was not surprised that his senior brother attacked him. He had thought about killing his senior brother more than once.

What was unexpected was why he did it now.

Qi Yousan's face was gloomy. He was also wondering what went wrong. He wanted to kill his junior brother, but not at this time.

Just before, he didn't know why he did it.

Looking at the cave stone in front of him, he looked at his junior brother who was escaping to the side, hesitated for a moment and grabbed the cave stone.

Compared with a large, heavy and worthless green jade stone, a cave stone is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.

If all the cave stones in front of him are dug out, what kind of spiritual objects can't be bought.

As for how to sell a large number of cave stones, that is a matter for the future.

Looking at the South China Sea, everyone knows that the cave stone vein is monopolized by the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce.

But as a demon cultivator, there is no such thing as entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed.

There are not only these two demon cultivators in the green jade mine cave, and soon other hidden guys are also attracted.

Several more figures came out of the mine cave and plunged into the cave stone vein.

The two demon cultivators who were frantically digging in the vein sensed the humming of the ban and also realized that someone else had come in.

But everyone's mind is on the cave stone at the moment. Although they are wary of each other, they start to grab the mine after choosing a good place.

On the Qingyu mine, Shen Lian's figure merged with the soil and rocks, sensing the demon cultivators rushing into the Dongtian Stone mine.

Unexpectedly, there were quite a few demon cultivators hiding in the Qingyu mine, more than a dozen in total.

These demon cultivators were different from him. They didn't work very carefully. They just swung their magic weapons and chopped at the Yunjing Stone mine.

But the more this happened, the more satisfied Shen Lian was.

This time, he could only suffer for the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce.

Some demon cultivators didn't want spiritual objects but not their lives. After mining a part of the Dongtian Stone, they sensed the fluctuations of the formation restriction and began to flee.

...

"My good senior brother, I hope you don't let me catch the opportunity."

In the vast mountains and forests, birds and beasts were crying, and Luo Hao walked quickly along the mountain. He only dug a small part of the ore from the Yunjing Stone mine and ran out.

Compared with the opportunities in the mine, life is the most important.

However, when Luo Hao entered a valley and prepared to walk through the mountain, he found a figure in front of him, looking at him in mid-air.

"Brother!"

Suddenly, Luo Hao's expression froze.

"Brother, where are you going... Hehe..."

In shock, Luo Hao wanted to escape, but suddenly his sea of ​​consciousness seemed to be torn apart by someone, and his hands couldn't help but hold his head and screamed loudly.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Hao was taken away by a wave, and Qi Yousan who appeared in the valley also disappeared.

After a few breaths, Shen Lian appeared outside the valley.

The two culprits who broke the ban were brought to justice by him, Shen!

...

A few days later.

Shen Lian appeared outside the main mining city of Yunshang.

The cry of cranes and eagles was heard from a distance, and a team of more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators blocked him from a distance.

The leading cultivator was a ninth-level foundation-building cultivator.

This was the first time he had seen a guard team of such scale and strength.

Seeing that these monks were all wearing the uniform uniforms of the mining city guards, Shen Lian did not show anything and continued to fly forward.

Soon, he was stopped.

"Fellow Daoist, I am the patrol commander Mu Tianhua. Please take out your identity jade card for me to see."

The monk who spoke was dressed in a black robe, and his eyes looked up and down at Shen Lian, full of scrutiny.

Not only that, this team of monks was in a semi-encircled state, looking at Shen Lian vigilantly.

Shen Lian took off his jade card from his waist and threw it to Mu Tianhua.

"Commander Mu is polite, I am Lu Shan."

Mu Tianhua returned the greeting with a faint expression, still scrutinizing Shen Lian and said: "Fellow Daoist, this jade talisman was obtained in the Red Crystal Mining City. It has traveled more than 100,000 miles to the main mining city. Did you encounter any demon cultivators on the way?"

"My magical powers are pretty good, and the journey was barely smooth."

Shen Lian smiled slightly.

His answer was quite pertinent. In the Tianzhu Mountain mining area, Jindan Zhenren is the first level, and Jiadan is the second level. The ninth level of foundation building cultivators is the strongest after Zhenren.

"Don't blame me, Fellow Daoist Lu. Recently, the demon cultivators have been in chaos and attacked the mining city. Mu is also doing routine work."

After a simple explanation, Mu Tianhua continued to ask.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Lu is doing in the main mining city?"

"To buy spiritual objects for cultivation."

Shen Lian did not hide it and replied.

"Fellow Daoist, you came at the right time. Now that the demon cultivators are in chaos, it is the time for us cultivators to support the righteous path and kill the demons and protect the law."

After hearing this, Shen Lian immediately felt something was wrong.

It was obvious that there was a conspiracy to give him chicken blood when they met by chance.

"Fellow Daoist, the sect has issued an edict that all cultivators practicing in the mining area have the obligation to eliminate the demon cultivators. What do you think?"

Shen Lian looked at the group of cultivators in front of him, and then looked at the cultivators in the distance who were also stopped by the patrol team.

This is obvious, and the next response must be correct.

"Eradication of demons and defense of the Way is naturally the responsibility of cultivators of my generation."

"Haha, fellow Daoist Lu is really open-minded, and there is no need for Mu to say more nonsense."

Mu Tianhua rubbed his fingers and smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, I just got out of the mountains, but what happened?"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you don't know, a big demon appeared in Tianzhu Mountain, the name of this demon is Yuan Ling, maybe Fellow Daoist Lu has heard of this demon before.

Now, this demon has been promoted to the late Jindan, and even escaped from the hands of Jin Yuan Zhenren of my Yunshang Sect.

Now it is wreaking havoc on the entire mining area and wants to slaughter the mining city. We cultivators should do our part to kill the demon."

"I see."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.

Damn it, I wouldn't have come to the main mining city earlier.

When searching for a few demon cultivators before, the old demon Yuan Ling was only in the middle Jindan, and had a combat power comparable to the late Jindan.

Now he has been promoted to the late Jindan, which means he has the strength to compete with the great perfection of the Jindan.

No, he already has.

Jin Yuan Zhenren is the powerful Jindan great perfection of the Yunshang Sect who sits in the main mining city.

The combat power comparable to that of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core is equivalent to having the strength to integrate the demon cultivators in the mining area.

No wonder they have to force people to join the group to resist the demon cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, does this old demon dare to attack the mining city?"

Shen Lian nodded and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I am also following orders. After entering the city, just report my name at the guard post at the city gate."

"In addition, you and I are both at the ninth level of foundation building. There will be spirit stones as rewards, and we will each have half of them."

"No need, leave the rewards to Fellow Daoist Mu and other fellow Daoists."

Shen Lian's mind flashed with understanding, and he said lightly.

Mu Tianhua glanced at the cultivators around him, clasped his fists, and the smile on his face became much more friendly.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Shen Lian looked around and asked calmly, "Fellow Daoist Mu, are we really going to go to war with the demon cultivators?"

"That requires the decision of the ancestors. How can you and I, who are just building our foundation, know?"

Mu Tianhua explained without saying anything, "In short, the mining area has been unstable recently. If you have a female Taoist partner of the same realm, you should be careful."

"Mu still has to inspect the mining area. I'll take my leave first. I'll see you in the city later. Please have a few drinks with Fellow Daoist Lu."

Watching Mu Tianhua lead his men away and greet a stream of light in the distance, Shen Lian showed a thoughtful look.

It's not possible to leave immediately now. There are many patrol teams like Mu Tianhua around.

And the scale and realm of the patrol teams have been raised to the foundation-building level, which also shows that they have dealt with emergencies.

Stay here for a while and find an opportunity to leave.

All the way to the main mining city, this is Shen Lian's second time here. The last time he came, it was not so strict.

At this moment, the formation above the city was looming, and there were residual demonic auras in the east and north of the city.

It was obviously the aura left by the battle at the Jindan level.

Could it be that the demon cultivators were so bold that they dared to break into the main mining city?

Not long after, Shen Lian figured out the whole story. Before, he killed the cultivator named Lin Yang and got the news that his master was hiding near the main mining city, so he ran to the Qingyu mining city.

The auras left outside the city were those of Master Lin Yang and others. They were noticed by the real person of Yunshang Sect stationed in the main mining city, and a war broke out.

However, this war did not leave any demon cultivators at the Jindan level.

When Shen Lian landed in the guardhouse in front of the main mining city gate, he found that there were more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators, and they almost landed.

Obviously, all foundation-building cultivators who came to the main mining city would be forcibly conscripted, whether you like it or not.

"Lu Shan, who recommended you?"

Inside the building, a fake Dan cultivator glanced at Shen Lian's identity jade token and spoke lightly.

"Recommended?"

Shen Lian was stunned.

It was obviously forced.

"Oh, it was Mu Tianhua Mu Daoyou."

"Yes."

Fake Dan Zhenren threw the identity jade token to Shen Lian without raising his head, and picked up a jade slip with the word "Mu".

"Ninth level of foundation building, 5,000 spirit stones..."

"Senior, leave all the spirit stones to Mu Daoyou and other Daoists."

Hearing this, Fake Dan Zhenren didn't even look at Shen Lian, and threw the spirit stones he grabbed back into the storage box beside him.

He picked up another jade token and threw it to Shen Lian.

"Refine this talisman to record your war merit points. After the demon-killing mission is over, you can exchange your war merit points for spiritual objects."

"In addition, after entering the city, you are not allowed to leave the city without a demon-killing mission."

"Next."

...

After leaving the guardhouse and entering the city, Shen Lian also learned the whole story from the cultivator next to him.

Yunshang Sect issued an order half a month ago to suspend the transportation of various ores.

All sects, chambers of commerce, and cultivators will be included in the demon-killing system.

Individual cultivators will determine the number of war merit points based on the number of demon cultivators hunted and exchange them for the spiritual objects they need for cultivation.

The Chamber of Commerce and the sects need to determine how much overall combat merit they have sent out to allocate the next share of ore sales.

With one decree, the Yunshang Sect directly sealed off all the mining areas in the northern part of the South China Sea, changing from free trade to distribution according to work.

At least on the surface, it depends on who hides it better in private.

As soon as Shen Lian entered the city, he sensed a powerful aura in the distance, passing through the city gate.

The spiritual light dissipated, revealing a cultivator who looked like a wealthy man in the mortal world. He looked indifferent, and without even looking at everyone, he headed towards the Yunshang Tower in the center of the city.

"Master Nan Yue."

"I heard that his home in the Qianzhu Mountains was stolen by a demon cultivator, and more than a thousand people including his Taoist companions, wives, concubines, apprentices and servants were slaughtered. Now he is rushing into Tianzhu Mountain to find the culprit."

Shen Lian looked at Master Nan Yue who disappeared in the distance. He was a witness to the theft of Master Nan Yue's home.

Speaking of the enemy of Nan Yue Zhenren, perhaps we have to trace it back to the now popular old demon Yuan Ling.

At least the various news Shen Lian knows now, combined with the previous verification of the memories of the demon cultivators.

The old demon Yuan Ling is most likely the one who practiced the Yin Yang Five Organs Refining True Demon Art.

Now, the combat power of this old demon Yuan Ling is comparable to that of the Golden Pill Great Perfection.

Shaking his head, he quickly went around the shops in the city.

Under the decree of Yunshang Sect, ordinary first-level, second-level lower-grade and middle-grade spiritual objects are still in normal circulation.

But the cultivation resources of the second-level upper-grade and third-level lower-grade are all stuck.

However, this has little impact on Shen Lian.

…

"Daoyou, there is only a small piece of second-level lower-grade lightning stone in this shop."

In a shop called Lingfang Pavilion, Shen Lian put a fist-sized lightning stone into his bag.

As long as it is a thunder attribute ore, he doesn't mind the low grade, and all of them are collected into the storage magic tool.

After searching the small shops, Shen Lian looked at Qianqiu Tower.

Qianqiu Tower in the main mining city is more magnificent than the previous Qianqiu Tower. It covers more than ten miles.

Pavilions, waterside pavilions and flower gardens, and the outside is covered with formations, and the spiritual energy inside is like fog.

After he walked slowly towards Qianqiu Tower, he was soon invited in by the servant and entered a simple single room, and spiritual tea was served.

Shen Lian quietly tasted the spiritual tea and occasionally scanned the streets in the city.

In the past few days, he was collecting thunder-attributed ores in the main mining city and confirmed one thing.

That is, although he was forcibly confiscated by the Yunshang Sect, he was still free. He just needed to find a team to leave the city and escape far away from the mining area.

This rule could not restrain him at all.

Unless the Jindan Zhenren followed him personally, no one could stop him if he wanted to run.

No matter how good the spiritual objects that Yunshang Sect brought out were, they were not to his liking. After he collected some more thunder attribute ores, he would flee far away to find a place to make a golden elixir.

Things like exorcising demons and defending the Dao should be left to other Taoist friends for the time being.
