Chapter 32: Shadow Insect Guard
"Worm Tower, it turns out that it is Worm Tower. Han Yi remembered the words of the Spirit Venerable Stage veteran in the Lion City, and only by getting the recognition of the Insect Tower could he stay in the Insect Cultivation City to cultivate.
"Brother Aotaki, are you a local monk in the City of Insect Cultivation?"
"yes, I've been here for years. ”
"I heard a senior say that if you want to stay in the city of insect cultivation and cultivate, you must be recognized by the insect tower. ”
"That's true. The pass you have now can only allow you to stay in the city of insect cultivation for one year, and after one year you will be expelled from it, and you will not be able to enter the city of insect cultivation for a period of time. ”
"If I pay the spirit stone again, can I continue to stay here?"
"No, you can't. Any monk, no matter what realm you are, if you can't get the recognition of the Worm Tower, you can only stay here for a year. This is actually to protect the local monks in the Insect Cultivation City, after all, the materials for cultivating spirit insects are very scarce, and we can't let the foreign monks take away all our resources. Moreover, it is also forbidden for foreign monks to purchase materials for cultivating spirit insects in large quantities. Some shops are even off-limits to foreign monks. ”
Han Yi frowned deeply when he heard this. Although he was ready to cultivate in the Insect Cultivation City when he came, he really didn't expect that the Insect Cultivation City would have so many restrictions on foreign monks, so if Wu Youran and Hu Yanqing couldn't get the recognition of the Insect Tower, they wouldn't be able to stay here with him.
"Then how can I get the recognition of the Worm Tower?" Han Yi asked again.
"It's not that difficult to say, as long as you break through the tenth layer of the Worm Tower, even if you get the recognition of the Worm Tower. The tenth floor of the Worm Tower corresponds to the second layer of the city, and if you pass it, you will be eligible to live in the Worm Repair City for a long time. In fact, most of the first-tier cities are built by your foreign monks, and the local monks of the Worm Repair City are all active in the second-tier and above cities. The higher the number of floors you pass through the Worm Tower, the more privileges you will gain and the more status you will have in the Worm Repair City. ”
Speaking of this, Aotaki pointed to the fourth layer of the city, the black stone tablet in front of the magnificent palace.
"Do you see that stone stele? If you break through the thirtieth floor, you will be able to leave your name on the insect tower stele, obtain the name of the Holy King, and stay in the fourth layer of the city, and all the resources in the insect cultivation city will be at your disposal. ”
"The thirtieth floor, it must be very difficult. Han Yi's heart was a little moved, if he could break through the thirtieth layer, then he might be able to become the most powerful insect cultivator in the Xuan Spirit Realm.
"The difficulty is indeed very great, since the establishment of the Insect Cultivation City, for millions of years, only more than two hundred people have broken through the thirtieth layer. ”
"More than two hundred people, so few. Han Yi was really shocked.
"Brother Han, once you break through the thirtieth layer, it basically means that you will become a supreme holy powerhouse, but for the rest of your life, you will also be tied to the Insect Cultivation City. ”
Han Yi nodded. It seems that I have to prepare well, if I can break through the thirtieth layer, then my cultivation speed can be greatly improved, and what I lack now is enough resources.
"Brother Aotaki you should break through the Worm Tower, I don't know what kind of tests are there in the Worm Tower?"
"The test of the Worm Tower varies from person to person, and different people will face different tests, so I can't talk to Brother Han about this. However, if Brother Han wants to try to break into the Worm Tower, I still suggest that Brother Han cultivate a spirit worm that is more aggressive. Although the Void Spirit Demon Worm had peculiar attributes, its combat power was not even as good as that of a spirit general monk before it stepped into a mature body. ”
"Well, I know this, this time I came to the Insect Cultivation City, and I also hope to find a powerful spirit insect cultivation. Han Yi said quietly on his face. He completely concealed the fact that he still had a second spirit worm in his hands.
"Brother Han, Brother Huyan and Martial Girl, it is impossible for the three of you to enter the Insect Tower to be tested in a short period of time, if you want to stay in the City of Insect Cultivation, you can only join the Shadow Insect Guard. ”
"Shadow Insect Guard, what is that?" Han Yi asked. Wu Youran and Hu Yanqing also cast inquiring glances.
"The Shadow Insect Guard is the guardian guard of the City of Insect Cultivation, composed of foreign monks and native monks. Whether it is you or a local monk, if you want to join the Shadow Insect Guard, you must participate in the assessment, and if you are not strong enough, you will not be able to become the Shadow Insect Guard. The Shadow Insect Guard's duty is to protect the Insect Repair City, and at the same time deal with some tasks issued by the Insect Repair City's higher-ups. ”
"How long can I stay in the Insect Repair City when I join the Shadow Insect Guard?"
"The average Shadow Insect Guard can temporarily live in the Insect Cultivation City for ten years, if you become the captain, you can temporarily stay for a hundred years, and if you become the commander, you can stay in the Insect Cultivation City for the rest of your life. Of course, taking up the position of ruler requires the cultivation of the spiritual venerable period, so don't think about this for the time being. As for being the captain, it shouldn't be a big problem for all three of you. ”
"Okay, I still have something to do, let's break up here. If you want to buy something, you can go to the streets in front of you, which is the busiest market in the city of insect repair, and there are countless shops. If you want to join the Shadow Worm Guard, you can find the guards in the city, and they will take you to the test. ”
"Thank you, Brother Aotaki for your advice. Han Yi said with his fists clenched.
"Brother Han is polite. Qing Long turned over his hand and took out a white jade token engraved with blue characters, "If you encounter difficulties and need help, take this token to a small store called Tianyin Pavilion in Dongcheng District to find me." ”
"Okay, thank you very much. Han Yi was not pretentious, he stretched out his hand and turned out the white jade token, and gave it up again.
Aotaki also bowed his hand and left from another block.
"Master, where are we going next?" asked Hu Yanqing.
Han Yi looked at the back of Qinglong leaving, his eyes were inexplicable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Let's go buy some things first, and then go to the assessment in a moment and join the Shadow Insect Guard. The purpose of my coming here is to become a powerful insect cultivator, so I must stay here. ”
With that, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction to Aotaki leaving. The vast blocks in front of them were full of people, and every pedestrian exuded an aura that was not weaker than that of the Spirit King Period, and there was a forbidden aura coming from every storefront.
Han Yi released a trace of soul power into the spirit beast ring to investigate, since he purchased the mica crystal in Tianyun City, he put a hundred mica crystals into the spirit beast ring every once in a while to feed the heavenly crystal beetle. Now the size of those Celestial Crystal Beetles has doubled in size compared to the original, and their bodies have become more crystalline, and they are full of vitality.
The mica crystals are almost consumed, so let's buy another batch. I just don't know if mica crystals are also restricted from buying in large quantities? Thinking of what Qing Long said, Han Yi couldn't help but be a little worried.
......
An hour later, Han Yi walked out of the thirteenth store with a not very good-looking face, and even Wu Youran and Hu Yanqing behind him were full of displeasure.
They had visited thirteen shops in one hour to buy mica crystals, but everything in those stores was restricted from being sold to them. In the end, Han Yi only bought less than a hundred mica crystals, which was not even enough for the Celestial Crystal Beetles to eat for ten days.
"Let's go, let's go to the assessment, it seems that only by joining the Shadow Insect Guard, we can buy what we need. ”
The trio found the guards patrolling the streets, explained their intentions, and led them to a sprawling mansion in the western neighborhood of the inner city.
Dozens of huge black towers towered in the mansion, surrounded by dark red attics, and two wide roads that crisscrossed the mansion evenly divided the mansion into four parts, each with a large hall in the middle, namely the East Temple, the West Temple, the North Temple, and the South Temple.
Han Yi, Wu Youran, and Hu Yanqing all looked at the four halls in the mansion curiously, and the four halls in the soul perception all had strong forbidden fluctuations, although there were no guards outside the hall, but none of the people who came and went in the mansion approached the hall.
The guards led the three of them straight through the four halls, and came to the back of the mansion, where a semicircular stone monument stood dozens of meters high. Compared with the stele that Han Yi and the others had seen before, this stele was not grand at all, but the big characters inscribed on the stele made the three of them not contempt at all.
Shadow Worm Monument.
There was a majestic momentum in the five big characters, and Han Yi felt dizzy in his head just by looking at it, as if there was an invisible vortex in those big characters, trying to forcibly suck his soul into it.
Han Yi hurriedly completely reined in his soul power and kept his mind tightly, so that he could isolate the influence of the big characters on the stone tablet on him. Wu Youran and Hu Yanqing were obviously also affected by those big words, their faces changed slightly, and they hurriedly put away their soul power.
"The words on the stele are written by the founder of the Shadow Insect Guard, the Shadow Saint, and contain the will of the powerful Saint King, you had better restrain your soul power, otherwise once the will of the Saint King is drawn out, the consequences will be unimaginable. The guard reminded at this point.
"Understood. Han Yi nodded in response.
"Commander Murong, there are three monks from the outer city who have come to participate in the assessment, hoping to join the Shadow Insect Guard. The guard walked quickly to a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in front of the stone monument and said respectfully.
The middle-aged man was wearing a black battle suit, looking tall and burly, with long black hair draped behind him, and his face was resolute and full of majesty. In Han Yi's perception, the aura on the middle-aged man was unfathomable, faintly bringing a sense of oppression like the sea.
The supreme strong. Han Yi said secretly in his heart.
After the guard finished speaking, Commander Murong, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze swept over Han Yi and the others.
"Okay, you go down. ”
"Yes, Commander Murong. The guard saluted respectfully before turning away.
"Do you know the rules?" said Murong Commander's voice.
