Chapter 136: Preparations for War (1)
A strong city like Wushuang City sometimes lacks something, it may be some rare refining material, it may be a long-standing formation map, or it may be a coveted divine weapon.
After all, even if there are many wealthy families and strong people in Wushuang City, there is nothing to be done here.
But there is one thing that will never be absent in the city of Wushuang, and that is the bustle and liveliness.
In the third year of Wuyang, in late spring and early summer, the once-in-a-decade hunting battle was about to begin, and the already prosperous Wushuang City became even more noisy.
Since a month before the battle, countless foreign Xuanshi have poured into Wushuang City, all they want to be in the hunting battle. Even the children of wealthy families want to make a name for themselves by hunting battles, not to mention the young Xuanshi from outside the Wushuang City.
The prosperity of Wushuang City seems to be able to accommodate everything in the world, and it only takes a short time for these outsiders to go from being out of place at the beginning to being at peace with what they encounter later.
Under the sun, they are freshly dressed and angry, they point out the country, they enjoy everything here, as if life should be like this.
Today, Wanliuyuan is also very lively, as the most outstanding figure in the younger generation of Prince Yuan's mansion, Ji Chen has a lofty position in the palace that does not match his current strength. Of course, this is also a normal situation, after all, Ji Chen's value is to be realized in the future, not simply looking at the strength at the current stage.
However, as an important banquet manor in Prince Yuan's mansion, today's Wanliu Garden is not full of powerful people in the mighty Peerless City, but just a group of young Xuanshi who are still a little childish.
These people are all young Xuanshi who have been personally recruited by Ji Chen in recent years, and every one of the Xuanshi who can sit here today has a cultivation above the Yellow Rank, and there are even many Yellow Order Fivefold Xuanshi among them. These people were gathered here for one purpose, to participate in the hunting battle that began in three days.
In fact, this good combat power was originally prepared by Ji Chen for himself, after all, as the first person of the faint young generation in Wushuang City, although he would not take the initiative to participate in those so-called ranking battles on weekdays, but after all, he still needed to prove himself in some events, and obviously the hunting battle was the best battle to prove it.
"It's a pity" that the hunting battle hasn't started yet, but Ji Chen has already reached the realm of the green order, and the hunting battle can only be fought by the yellow rank and the cultivators below the yellow rank, and Ji Chen, who has become a green-level mysticist, finally missed this good opportunity to prove the battle.
But the fact that he can't participate in the hunting battle doesn't mean that he will give up this battle, in addition to the fact that he has prepared a lot for this, there is a more important reason, that is, if he can win the final battle of the hunting battle, he can get a reward from an earth spirit, which is the most important factor.
In less than half a year, they are going to find that special entrance to the Metaverse and start the real Metaverse battle. But if you want to carry out the Metaverse conquest, the spirit of the earth is a very important thing, otherwise even if you find the entrance to the Metaverse and the boundary monument, you will only have a chance, and you will not be able to really build a boundary bridge.
It is true that a powerful existence like Prince Yuan's Mansion will naturally not lack an earth spirit, as long as Ji Chen wants it, he can naturally get one. But after all, it still costs a lot to get an earth spirit by normal means, and this is also a lot of consumption for a wealthy family, so the best thing to do is of course to make a fuss about the hunting battle.
There was a young man sitting on Ji Chen's left hand side, this person looked to be about twenty-five years old, naturally older than Ji Chen, but when he sat next to Ji Chen, he was careful everywhere, and even looked very restrained when he occasionally raised a glass with Ji Chen.
"Ju Yi, don't be nervous, I won't eat you again. Looking at the cautious appearance of the people around him, Ji Chen put down his wine glass and said comfortingly.
"Okay, okay, I'm not nervous. The young man named Ju Yi hurriedly replied, but his tone was still panicked.
Ji Chen frowned slightly, this time made Ju Yi, who was always observant, even more nervous, and almost threw away the wine glass.
"Well, you can go back and rest later, and after everything you promised to give you has been prepared for you, you just need to relax and go into battle after three days. Ji Chen tapped lightly on the table and said.
Ju Yi was pardoned, swallowed the wine in the cup in one gulp, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye. As soon as Ju Yi left, many people at the banquet also left one after another at Ji Chen's signal, and soon there were only two people left at the banquet.
One is Ji Chen, and the other is the eldest princess Ji Wenshu, who hasn't left since she came back this time.
In fact, Ju Yi had always been very detained before, not only because of his humble status, but also because of Ji Wenshu's presence that made him feel nervous, because in the hearts of people like Ju Yi and them, the rumors about Her Royal Highness the eldest princess were more of her cold side.
After everyone dispersed, Ji Wenshu finally picked up the wine glass and said, "Do you really plan to rely on a group of slaves to help you fight the hunting war?"
Ji Chen chuckled and said, "What's the matter, didn't the eldest sister take these slaves with her all the year round when she was out to fight, do you think they were doing something wrong?"
"After all, it's just some brainless subordinates, relying on the demon seed to support their cultivation, and their ability is not necessarily strong, and sometimes it will be bad. Ji Wenshu said calmly, she often followed the demon warriors around her when she was out fighting, so she naturally had enough right to speak.
If Gu Yu heard the conversation between their Ji Wenshu sister and brother, he would definitely be surprised, after all, not many people knew that Prince Yuan's Mansion had also secretly obtained many demon warriors from the Northwest Realm, and even enough to support them in the Metaverse Campaign.
The Ju Yi who was carefully accompanying Ji Chen just now was a demon man, like Wang Dazhui, he was also brought to Prince Yuan's Mansion when he was young, for him, Prince Yuan's Mansion was naturally his main family, and he had to be absolutely loyal to the palace.
When he was chosen by Ji Chen to be the main general of this hunting battle, he felt very unreal at that moment, and it was not until he sat in Wanliuyuan with Ji Chen and raised a glass to drink that he felt a little real in a daze.
But in the end, he was also apprehensive in his heart, after all, most of the Xuanshi who participated in the hunting battle were the children of nobles, and even the children of wealthy families. If a mere demon seed like him can participate in the battle as the main general, he naturally feels that he will be lacking.
Ji Wenshu is worried about this, after all, the hunting battle is not a simple battlefield for competing combat power, especially on the battlefield of the final battle, there may be a lot of uncertainties, once it is necessary to make a choice, it is often difficult for these demon warriors to be as good as the children of the big family.
Of course, Ji Chen understands this truth, but he has no better choice. Several of his own brothers are either outstanding in strength and have already gone out to practice, such as elite group members like the eldest sister. Either those brothers who eat and wait for death, their cultivation is not very high, and they don't have much actual combat experience, so they go to the battlefield of the hunting battle to send them to death.
Choosing to use the demon warriors to fight, this is already the most helpless choice, at least the demon warriors have no selfish thoughts, or even if they have private thoughts, they can't make much waves, these people with no background can no better way out than to sell their lives under their own hands.
Fighting with the Demon Seed will at least ensure that the fruits of victory will not be lost.
Just thinking about Ji Chen's arrangement this time, Ji Wenshu couldn't help frowning slightly: "Does that person named Ju Yi know the real situation of him now?
Hearing Ji Wenshu's words, Ji Chen said very calmly: "Why do you want to tell them that." ”
"Then when are you going to say it?" Ji Wenshu asked again.
"Don't say it. ”
"Don't say it?" Ji Wenshu's brows furrowed deeper, and finally shook his head and said: "Then keep the secret completely, or get rid of them all after the fact, don't show your feet." ”
"I understand this, don't worry, these things won't be known to outsiders. Ji Chen said confidently.
"Good. Ji Wenshu replied softly.
The secret they want to keep is mainly on the demon seed, although the demon seed in the demon seed can quickly improve their cultivation at the cost of accelerating the burning of essence and blood because of the demon seed in their body, but no matter how fast it is, it is not so easy to achieve the yellow level cultivation.
In fact, the vast majority of demon breeders can only stay at the red-level realm in their lifelong cultivation, and there are very few who can reach the orange-level realm like Wang Dazhu. And the reason why Ju Yi was able to reach the fifth level of the Yellow Order was because of a secret technique for cultivating demon people.
This secret technique is very special, the original method was indeed transmitted from the northwest realm to the Wushuang City, but under the study of some strange people in Prince Yuan's mansion, this secret technique was not only completely cracked, but also sublimated.
It was with the transformed secret technique that Ju Yi was able to be forcibly promoted to the current level by Ji Chen in just one year.
But there is a flaw in this secret art, that is, the demon warriors who have been transformed by the secret art are easy to go crazy, and after going crazy, they will have their own poison, not only is it extremely dangerous, but it can even spread the terrible toxin, which is the most terrifying place.
The reason why Ji Wenshu has repeatedly emphasized that it is necessary to deal with it is because of this, if outsiders know that Prince Yuan's Mansion not only studies the secret art of demon species, but even makes such a dangerous thing, even if they are royalty, there will inevitably be a lot of resistance.
You must know that if you want to study the secret art of the demon seed, you must need a large number of ordinary people, and the vast majority of ordinary people will eventually die because they can't bear the pain, the death is extremely miserable, and the death will be extremely painful, which is why for the orthodox, the study of the secret art of the demon seed is always disdainful or even forbidden.
When Ji Chen was thinking about how to ensure that the secret would not be leaked, Ji Wenshu asked again: "By the way, hasn't that Yu Changan come back yet?"
