I am a mortal, a disciple of Spirit Beast Mountain

Fort No. 12, a large fort located on the front line of Jinguyuan, is also the most important defensive node on the front line, where the command headquarters is located.

This huge gray and white fortress can be easily found even if it is separated by more than ten kilometers.

In fact, for a cultivator, even a fortress that is five times or ten times larger can be built. However, although the protective formation of this fortress is very powerful, the size of the formation is limited, so it can only be built like this big.

Because it is designed for war, most of the inside of the fortress are defensive facilities, such as spiritual cannons powered by spirit stones, mechanism fire crossbows, various trap mechanisms and so on.

However, there is plenty of living and commercial space inside the fortress. Part of the reason is that a large underground space has been built, but the main reason is that most of the rooms are engraved with the prohibition of expanding space.

The single rooms for monks to rest are small in size from the outside, but the interior space is relatively spacious after entering.

But there is a hall in the fortress whose painting style is completely different from other buildings.

Not only is this hall located in the middle of the fortress, it occupies an area of ​​more than an acre, but the entire building is golden and looks full of luxury.

All the monks who have been to Jinguyuan may not know where the monks in the alchemy period live, but they must know this hall.

This hall is called the Hall of Merit. The function is to receive various tasks and receive rewards, and exchange items.

In terms of missions, there are patrol missions, defense missions, sneak attack missions, talisman making and refining missions, etc. The variety of missions is jaw-dropping.

After the task is completed, you can return to this place and turn in the relevant items to prove that the task has been completed.

Under the auspices of someone, the Seven Sects ranked the powerful monks currently appearing in the magic way and listed them in a reward list.

However, there are only 50 monks in the Foundation Establishment Period recorded on the list. Other qi training and alchemy monks will not be ranked.

The ranking is only based on the record ranking, that is, it is judged by how many enemies have been killed.

The more enemies you kill, the stronger your strength, and the higher your ranking will be.

Once you kill the demonic monks on the list, you can receive an extra amount of meritorious service in the Hall of Merit.

Even if only the existence at the bottom of the reward list is killed, the merit value of the reward is enough to exchange for two or three top-quality magic weapons.

Not only that, if you successfully kill the top ten beings, you can also get an additional panacea that can increase the chance of forming alchemy. This is an irresistible temptation for any foundation-building stage existence

But so far, very few of the top ten existences have been killed.

Because those who can be ranked in the top ten are not good stubble, they belong to the strong among the strong, and the ruthless among the ruthless.

Most of them are alchemy seeds that are valued by the sect. Whether it is skills, spells or magic weapons, they are all top-notch, and there are endless ways to save their lives.

Even if the cultivation has reached the completion of the foundation building stage, if you practice the quick success method, or if your combat awareness level is insufficient, it will be extremely difficult to enter the bottom of the list.

Some powerful second and third generations may be able to lead a group of subordinates to achieve meritorious service by virtue of their top-grade magic weapon, but at most they can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the list.

And the top ten. This is the private land of the truly strong.

In addition to rewards and other benefits, you can also become famous!

Most people can't get rid of fame and fortune in their lives. Even for some people, fame is more important than money.

There are very few immortal cultivators who are truly pure-hearted and ascetic. On the contrary, many people are particularly concerned about face. When they enjoy being praised by others, they are calm on the surface, but there are many people who are secretly happy.

After Mo Dao learned that the Seven Sects had established a reward list, it also made a list like a cat and a tiger, and also only listed fifty monks in the foundation period.

I don't know what happened, but the lists made by both parties can be seen in the Hall of Merit, and they are displayed so brightly on a huge jade wall, which is very conspicuous.

The list is updated in real time every day, which is amazing.

Now, once a fellow monk from both sides is listed on the other party's reward list, his status will rise instantly. Not only will he be congratulated by his fellow monks, but also the sect will look at him with admiration. It is extremely simple to accept some younger brothers.

There are also quite a few monks without a big background who are directly accepted as personal disciples by the elders of the major sects, and even recruited by major families.

Isn't it enough to prove its strength to be ranked on the reward list by the Demonic Dao?

The arrogances of both sides don't have to worry about the alchemy monks of the other side attacking and killing them.

Because the alchemy elders of both sides have a tacit understanding, they will not attack the hunting team in the wild.

After all, the alchemy period already belongs to the category of high-level monks, and they can't shamelessly attack and kill the opponent's juniors.

The current rhythm is that the alchemy monks are fighting against the alchemy monks, and the team formed by the foundation establishment monks and the Qi training period are fighting in the wild.

Moreover, the activity time of the two did not coincide. During the daytime, it was reserved for the younger generation to fight, and when the Golden Wuxi sank, it was the time for the monks who formed the alchemy to fight.

In addition, there will be a battle or offensive and defensive battle with hundreds to thousands of people every ten days and a half months.

In short, there is a set of rules and tacit understanding in the fierce fighting between the two sides this year.

In order to increase the enthusiasm of each hunting team, there are a wide variety of items that can be exchanged in the Hall of Merit.

In the past, some elixirs, kung fu, and instruments that were only inside the seven major factions and never spread to the outside world are available here. Even the foundation building pills can be exchanged in unlimited quantities, but they need a lot of meritorious deeds.

In order to ensure the fairness of the merit verification, all the personnel who inspected the military merits were all members from Zhenfan Temple casual cultivators after the negotiation of the seven factions.

It is also very strict to verify whether Kill Moxiu is really killed. It is necessary to take out the corpse or soul of the opponent's magic cultivator or the magic weapon of fame to prove that he has indeed killed the opponent.

Of course, if the killing process is recorded with photo beads, it can also be used as evidence.

In order to prevent our cannon fodder from easily becoming the other party's points of merit, Jiang Yun stipulated that only monks in the foundation building period have the qualifications to lead a team to accept wild hunting missions, with a certain degree of freedom.

The cannon fodder can only honestly complete the tasks assigned by the above, most of which are garrison tasks, and when hundreds or thousands of people fight in groups, they will go up to the top.

Thousands of spells from both sides bombarded each other, and low-level spells fell on the opponent's position like rain. Every time, both sides retreated after exhausting their spiritual power, but the miracle was that not many died each time the two sides finished fighting.

In addition, if the cannon fodder is valued by the foundation-building cultivator, you can also join the team to hunt the demon cultivator in the wild, which is high risk and high reward.

Although the death rate of demonic cultivators hunting in the wild is relatively high, and although it is the foundation cultivators who eat meat and drink soup like cannon fodder, there are still many active participants.

Because even if the stronghold fortress is defended, or the battle is won, the spoils have nothing to do with these cannon fodder.

According to Jiang Yun, these cannon fodders are all paid with dead wages.

Seven factions here are also strict military regulations. If a cannon fodder wanders around in the wild without the leadership of a foundation-building monk, it will be investigated if it is caught by the law enforcement team.

In short, everyone has their own destiny, and a low cultivation base is miserable.

As we all know, war brings death as well as opportunity and a certain kind of prosperity.

Centered on the Hall of Merit and Honor, there are shops and stalls all around, creating a bustling and bustling scene.

Teams or solo travelers came back from the field and entered the fortress. After entering the fortress, most of them gathered here, and at the same time, a large number of monks set off to the field.

At a roadside stall, a bearded, burly man was bargaining with an old stall owner.

The male cultivator has reached the late stage of foundation establishment, and there are seven or eight monks behind him, two of whom have also reached the early stage of foundation establishment. It is obviously a small team, and their strength is not weak.

These people all have the logo of Spirit Beast Mountain on their clothes. A few even wore leopard-print coats.

"Old man Li, I have a top-grade magic weapon, the Rotten Soul Orb, and several middle-to-high-grade magic weapons and various materials. Isn't your eight hundred spirit stones too little? Could it be that we are easy to bully when we are disciples of the Spirit Beast Mountain?" ?”

The burly male cultivator put his hands on his hips and said to the old man with an unkind expression.

If it weren't for the fact that the magic weapon needs to be activated by magic skills to show its power, he would be reluctant to sell the top-quality magic weapon.

The old man snorted coldly and said, "Friend Lu, before the war, these things were worth about 1,500 spirit stones, but now you look around for yourself! There are such magical artifacts everywhere, and they are almost overflowing. I will collect them." It will be difficult to find a buyer in a short period of time after the purchase, unless."

The old man remembered an old friend who wanted to secretly go to the Demon Dao camp in order to sell at a high price, and wanted to sell the Magic Artifacts he collected cheaply to the Demon Dao, but he never returned.

Later, I learned by chance that the old friend was caught by the monks of the Seven Sects patrolling the border and convicted of collaborating with the enemy. Not only was all his belongings confiscated, but he was also thrown into a mine for mining. I don’t know if he will survive in his lifetime .

The old man sighed in his heart, and continued: "In short, I am willing to buy at this price because you are disciples of Lingshou Mountain! Don't sell it!"

The burly male cultivator seemed to be hesitant, of course he knew that these things were already flooding.

However, magic tools need to practice magic skills to exert their power. But selling it at the price of cabbage really made him feel distressed.

At this time, a tall and thin male cultivator behind him walked up to his ear and whispered in his ear: "Boss, let's sell it. We asked in the Merit Hall, and we only want to buy it for 760 meritorious deeds. This place is not bad!"

In the end, the burly male cultivator and the old man had a fierce bargain, and after a while, the final transaction price came out!

The burly male cultivator patted his chest, and said grandly: "Forget it, just 805 spirit stones, so I, Lu Tianmeng, made you this friend!"

The old man threw a storage bag to Lu Tianmeng, and said bluntly: "Let's go, let's go, your money-greedy character is really similar to when I was young."

Lu Tianmeng didn't take it seriously when he heard the old man's words, and after confirming that the number of spirit stones was correct, he turned the spirit stones and prepared to leave.

At this moment, there was a commotion all around, and seven monks came from a distance, leading by two male cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Period.

Along the way, many stall owners and monks greeted them, as if they all knew them.

There were exclamations and discussions nearby.

"It's a cultivator from Zhenfan Temple. The leaders are Diamond Stick Xie Hong and Zimang Sword Lu Kun. Both of them are from casual cultivators, and they have killed many evil cultivators and demon cultivators recently."

"Yes, although the two of them are only in the middle stage of foundation establishment, the two of them will not lose the wind when they join forces to face the late stage of foundation establishment. The methods are really good!"

"I heard that Senior Jiang Yun has moved the headquarters of Zhenfandian to the No. 25 Fortress on the second line of defense. All the official members of Zhenfandian have come to the front line to participate in the battle, so as to prove that they are incompatible with the Demon Dao!"

"Senior Jiang is really a role model for us!"

"Who says it's not? Otherwise, the Seven Great Factions wouldn't let Senior Jiang be the commander-in-chief of Jinguyuan to coordinate the entire battle."

"I saw with my own eyes half a year ago, Senior Jiang Yun fighting with two demon cultivators at the alchemy stage near the No. 4 stronghold. The battle was like a world-shattering, earth-shattering sun and moon, and a wave of Senior Jiang's sleeve filled the sky with a fierce golden sword aura. That momentum."

"That's not right! How did I remember that Senior Jiang is not a sword cultivator! The main task is to use spirit beasts to fight!"

"Ahem, cough, that's not important!"

Listening to the discussions around, not far away, Lu Tianmeng and others had different expressions, and one of the young men in the Qi training period snorted coldly and said:

"It's just a tie with the demon cultivators of the late foundation establishment period. What's there to be proud of! The boss is also a late foundation establishment monk, and he is also valued by Master Jiang, right, boss!"

Lu Tianmeng's expression froze.

At this time, another younger brother continued: "That's right, that's right, when we exterminated demons and insects in the Luoyan Mountains, the boss was valued by Master Jiang and appointed to open the way. Those of us who survived all know this!"

"After returning to the sect, Jiang Shizu even asked for credit for the boss!" The younger brother said with a smug expression on his face.

Not only did Lu Tianmeng's expression stiffen, but he also felt that the old wounds all over his body began to ache. Can't help but think of the things back then.

When the demon worm ran away, it happened that their team was lucky enough to rest on the floating island, otherwise it would be very difficult to come back alive.

After returning to the sect, Jiang Yun did keep his promise to help him ask for credit, and he was rewarded by the sect, but he knew that although Jiang Yun was smiling, he was actually being targeted.

But obviously the two simple-minded boys next to him didn't think so, and started to show off what happened back then to others, and the others who heard them exclaimed again and again.

Except for one of them who showed doubts on his face, the rest of them looked at Lu Tianmeng with envy and admiration.

The difference in IQ of these people was immediately distinguished.

Lu Tianmeng felt bitter that others didn't even know about it, but there were some things that I couldn't say more about.

If I tell others that I was actually targeted by Jiang Yun, I am afraid that a bunch of people will mess with him in order to please Jiang Yun, so I can only let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.

But he is not without benefits, at least there are many simple-minded idiots who take refuge in him as younger brothers!

Soon the focus of the conversations of the people on the side of the road began to shift.

"Have you heard? Senior Jiang Yun's direct disciple has also come to Jinguyuan."

"You're talking about Yu Mo? Of course I know that. Although Yu Mo is only in the middle stage of foundation establishment, he is good at controlling puppets and controlling insects. He is ranked forty-first in the reward policy of the Mo Dao Pai. It can be said that Famous!"

"It's really rare, but I don't know that there are not many middle-stage foundation-building monks who can be included in the reward list!"

"It's not Yu Mo, it's another disciple of Senior Jiang Yun named Long Hao, who has the aptitude of the Heavenly Spiritual Root and succeeded in building the foundation at the age of fourteen. And he came here to join the war not long after the foundation was established."

"Is there such a thing? The disciples of Tianlinggen also sent this kind of place, so Senior Jiang is willing?"

"What do you know? Long Hao is the direct disciple of Senior Jiang Yun, so he is different. How can those second and third generations who stay in the sect to avoid the war compare with him!"

"As expected of being the direct disciple of Senior Jiang Yun, this ideological awareness is different!"

Just as everyone was praising, a discordant voice sounded.

"Hmph, I think it's a fool. The talent of Tianlinggen will definitely be accepted by the elders of the sect, and they will walk sideways in the gate. The resources for cultivation are sufficient, and there is no need to come to a place like Jinguyuan."

"If I were Tian Linggen, I would have been enjoying the blessings in the sect, and I would find a few young and beautiful younger sisters to play with. There are dozens of them, why are you staring at me? Don't come here! Wait! Don't! Don't hit me!"

After a burst of punches, kicks and screams, the discordant voice disappeared.

But many people asked themselves whether they would choose to come to the battlefield if they were Tianlinggen, and they soon had the answer in their hearts.

After this episode, Long Hao and even Jiang Yun's reputation has improved again.

In a room on the second floor of the Hall of Merit, Jiang Yun was drinking tea and chatting with a female cultivator in a white robe.

The room layout is very simple, only a set of tables and chairs, a bookshelf, a soft couch, a screen and a few pots of green plants.

The female repairer has fair skin and beautiful appearance, dignified and elegant behavior, and the spiritual power in her whole body is obviously inherited from the righteous way.

Jiang Yun took a sip of spiritual tea, and said in a flat tone: "Little friend Lu, you Hehuan Sect captured me a Yunjun. I mentioned last time that I wanted to redeem it with five thousand spirit stones and a thousand-year spirit plant. I don't know. How do you Hehuan Sect think about it?"

The female cultivator thought to herself: "I also want to do this business, but it's a pity that Mr. Yun is a tough guy and has already been killed by the ancestor!"

The female cultivator sighed and said, "Senior Jiang, please forgive me, Master Yun was caught by Uncle Ku, and Uncle Ku is usually domineering, let alone a little girl, even my grandmother's face may not be useful." .”

"But." The female cultivator changed the subject and said, "But my grandmother knew the old ancestor's confidant Uncle Hongfen, if the senior is willing to spend five thousand more spirit stones to find Uncle Hongfen to clear it up, there is a high probability that this will happen!"

There was a glimmer of light in the depths of the female cultivator's eyes, and she looked at Jiang Yun expectantly.

Jiang Yun knew in his heart that the price he had paid far exceeded the value of a three-tailed Yunjun. After this, the other party hadn't let go. It can be seen that there is more than good luck, and now the other party just wants to cheat more.

The loss of one Yunjun is also a distressing thing for Jiang Yun. After all, the number of Yunjun has grown extremely slowly, and it has only increased by four in the past three years.

Jiang Yun has already told the Yunjuns to only search for information and not join the siege team, but losses are still inevitable.

Although Jiang Yun was distressed, he didn't show any strangeness on his face. He shook his head and said, "Jiang, please think about it again. It's getting late today, so I won't see you off."

"By the way, say hello to Elder Lu from your faction. The spies planted by your faction are too deep. In the last month, I only caught five of them, and two of them sneaked in by seizing the house. Jiang admires it." .”

Hearing Jiang Yun's words, the female cultivator was not angry but raised her teacup gracefully.

"Senior praised me absurdly, and the younger generation will definitely bring what the senior said to grandma."
