At night, the "Torture Eye" mercenary brigade is stationed three blocks away from the small courtyard where Scar and the others are located.

Xu Yong has been sitting on his main seat, his right eye lowered, thinking about the day's affairs. There is no doubt that he is not interested in Xue Qing, if the other party is not the heir of that person, he will even want to kill the other party with those few words during the day. But he didn't have a choice.

From the age of ten, when he calculated his own talent seed, he was contained by the "Torture Eye", and like countless other children who had good talent seeds and did not have a prominent background, he was taken under the command of the "Torture Eye", a cross-city-state organization that was also considered a large force in the entire Longshan Domain.

However, although he joined the "Torture Eye", he was not a formal member on the surface, but a reserve member of the "Torture Eye" hidden in the "Torture Eye". After all, there are countless children with good talent seeds in the sky above the Nino Continent, but the ones who can really make a difference are really insignificant compared to the huge base. Therefore, almost all forces will have a period of investigation in all the new blood seeds of the organization that they contain, except for the children of the members within the organization. Only members who have passed the probation period can join the organization and become reserve members of each parish. And only those who have performed well in the reserve can become full members of the parishion.

Perhaps it was Xu Yong's performance during the inspection period that made the people above feel that he was more suitable for the "Eye of Punishment", so he became a preparatory member of the "Eye of Punishment" without an official identity.

His performance in the various training of the reserve is not outstanding, but he is more than lacking than the bottom.

At the age of ten, he was contained by the "Torture Eye", at the age of twelve, he became a reserve member of the "Eye of Punishment", at the age of sixteen, he condensed into a sea of qi and stepped into the world of cultivators and became a full member of the "Eye of Punishment", and at the age of twenty-four, he stepped into the realm of a husband-level cultivator and sat on the position of the leader of a twenty-person action team of the "Eye of Punishment" with his courage to fight.

This is Xu Yong's simple resume inside the "Torture Eye".

However, the talent he valued most by the "Torture Eye" was unable to awaken for a long time, making him almost lose the channel to rise.

You must know that no matter what forces or organizations are promoted, except for their origins, they are all based on their own value, their hard power as a cultivator, their own wisdom, their awakened strong talents, and so on.

In the "Torture Eye", the strength is stronger than Xu Yong, and the qualifications he shows as a cultivator are ordinary elites, and he can't even reach geniuses, and members of an organization like him can basically only be cannon fodder.

And anyone with a certain degree of ambition is unlikely to be willing to become cannon fodder, not to mention that Xu Yong, who has seen the tip of the iceberg of the organization in the "Eye of Punishment", is naturally ambitious, so all he can rely on is his own talent seed. However, it was a pity that even if he became a husband-level cultivator, he did not show any signs of talent awakening.

Three talent seeds, two physical talents, and one special talent. Not to mention the greatest value, it was also the biggest factor for the "Torture Eye" to accept him in the first place, the "Evil Voice" talent, even if it was two ordinary physical talents, he didn't have any signs of awakening. This made Xu Yong, who was not ambitious, fall into a state of unwillingness and extreme anxiety.

You must know that although the "Eye of Punishment" belongs to the same "Eye of Punishment", it can also be said to be a sharp blade in the "Eye of Punishment". But Xu Yong's status as the leader of a mere operational team has no future. If he can't climb up or get the official identity of the "Torture Eye" on the surface, even if he dies, others will not know that he is a member of the "Torture Eye".

It's so sad to be a member of a power that is on the surface.

It was at that time that he was fortunate to meet the big man, that is, Xue Qing's father. And took over a task from the other party's hand, and the reward of the task is the "Talent Awakening Pill" that can be advanced in advance and a promise: as long as the task is completed, you can become the master of a certain branch of the "Eye of Punishment".

The lowest position of the branch head of any of the halls in the "Torture Eye" is the lord of a small city-state. This temptation is a temptation that cannot be refused by any cultivator with the same ambition as Xu Yong. In comparison, the "Talent Awakening Pill" that Xu Yong urgently needed became secondary.

After a series of operations and means, Xu Yong finally won the task, and then led his team to Coca City. He was twenty-six years old.

After coming to Coca City, Xu Yong finally awakened his talent after two years through the "Talent Awakening Pill" advanced in advance, and it was the most valuable "Evil Voice" talent, but the side effects of the talent made it a thorn in Xu Yong's heart.

The "Voice of Evil" talent, as one of the seven emotions that is also rare among the special talents, is actually not uncommon under the huge population base of the entire Nino Continent, but there are only 10,000 cases of side effects like Xu Yong's in the entire history of the Nino Continent.

Unfortunately and fortunately, through the excavation exploits of several underground secret realms that have been explored, Xu Yong discovered from inside the "Torture Eye" that the "Torture Eye" in the entire Longshan Domain is one of the few organizations that has the means to suppress the side effects of this talent. And this means is right in the hands of that big man.

So whether it was the actual benefit of the city lord of the least small city-state or in order to suppress the side effects of talent, Xu Yong had already tied to that person's body.

However, the current dilemma is that although several underground secret realms of Longsen have been secretly explored and handed over to the organization to excavate, the secret realm called "Qin" that he asked for has no clues other than that it may be on the side of the Fulong Mountain Range.

Finding the secret realm of "Qin" was the fundamental task of Xu Yonglai to Koca City, and it was also the first mission under that man. The outcome of this mission can be said to have directly determined his future fate.

The mandate was 10 years, and now there are just over two years left.

The more he thought about it, the more irritated and gloomy Xu Yong's expression became.

The Fulong Mountains are too big. Even if it is determined to be close to the side of Longsen, it will be almost impossible to find out the detailed location in a little more than two years. And the big man is obviously starting to lose patience, and this time letting Xue Qing come over is a beating.

At this moment, the subordinates who were sent to investigate the reason for the resurrection of Scar and his party during the day walked in and whispered the results of the investigation to Xu Yong.

When he heard one of the key information, Xu Yong, who was expressionless, was stunned, and his only intact right eye burst out with an amazing light in an instant.

"You said that Scar's gang discovered a suspicious secret place?" Xu Yong endured the strong agitation in his heart and confirmed.

"Yes."

"Is it in the Dragon's Head Mountains?!" Xu Yong clenched the seat handles with both hands, and reconfirmed with some hurriedness.

"Yes. It is said to be near Broken Tooth Mountain. As a henchman who followed Xu Yong to Coca City, he naturally knew the reason why Xu Yong was excited, which was also the reason why he came to report as soon as possible.

Xu Yong froze, a touch of excitement appeared on his gloomy face, and asked, "Have you heard about the situation inside?" ”

"Nope." The henchman then said, "But the entrance to the secret realm is a stone arch. ”

Xu Yong couldn't help but pat the handrail and stand up excitedly, and said excitedly: "Nine times out of ten." ”

Nine times out of ten, the secret realm discovered by Scar and the others was the goal of his mission.

Just when Xu Yong was excited to finally find the target, he suddenly remembered his henchman, and it seemed that he had mentioned the player just now.

One-eyed was startled, and asked with some hesitation, "You just said that Scar how they discovered that secret realm?" ”

"My lord, I heard that Scar and the others caught a wild player. That player is Minghuang Shengmengjue, and that secret realm seems to be his chance. The henchman thought of the key at the same time and hurriedly replied.

"Not good!" Xu Yong exclaimed, "Gather people immediately and enter the mountain!" ”

"Your Excellency!" The henchman hurriedly shouted to Xu Yong, who was eager to go out, and said, "My lord, just half an hour ago, the City Lord's Mansion had ordered the city to be closed, and the beast tide had already come. ”

Xu Yong's footsteps stopped, and his heart was like a basin of ice water poured from head to toe, instantly cooling down from excitement.

Pacing back and forth with a gloomy expression, he then sat back in the main seat, looked at his henchman and said, "You tell the information again, don't let go of any details." ”

"Yes." The henchman clasped his fists and saluted, and then re-detailed all the information.

After listening, Xu Yong thought for a while and said: "That is to say, the Scar gang met the wild player by chance at the edge of Longsen, and then forced out the opportunity but was secretly plotted by that player at the entrance of the secret realm, which led to the same fate?" ”

"Yes. It is said that Scar and the others died this time really aggrieved, and they didn't even understand how they died. The henchman replied with a little amusement on his face.

Xu Yong's expression softened slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said secretly: "In this case, it means that Scar doesn't know the specific situation of that secret realm yet." I only know that there are cultivation exercises in that secret realm, but I don't know that there is a city knot there, and I don't know that that the secret realm is also related to the largest treasure in the Longshan Domain? ”

("However, it may also be known, but kept secret?") ”）

"Are you sure that wild player is dead too?" Xu Yong asked with a gloomy expression.

The henchman nodded, "Whether it's for the sake of face or something else, Scar and the others will never deceive themselves on this point." However, I'm afraid that the resurrection mechanism of wild players is still inside, and it is very likely that they have already entered the secret realm. ”

"This damn beast tide!" Xu Yong cursed irritably, a sharp irritation in the woman's voice.

After calming down a little, Xu Yong opened his one eye and instructed his henchman: "You go and investigate carefully tomorrow and make sure that all the information is not missing." ”

"Yes."

"In particular, how much do Scar and the others know about the situation in the secret realm, and all the tiny information of that wild player must be clearly understood. It's important to us. Most likely, the fate of the squad is at stake. Xu Yong told repeatedly.

After confirming that the henchman had understood what he meant, Xu Yong sent him out, then stood up and walked towards the deepest part of the station with some frowns.

("The lockdown of the City Lord's Mansion means that the vanguard of the Beast Tide has stepped out of the border of the gathering place and has begun to rush towards all the nearby city-states.) Although the first batch of demon beasts were all cannon fodder, the huge number of clusters that no one could cope with except the army. ”）

"This damn beast tide! This damn player! Xu Yong couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Whether it is a beast tide or a player, as long as one of them appears two months later, he will not fall into such an embarrassing situation.

For the natives of the Dragon Mountain Domain of the Nino Continent, the presence of the player did have a certain impact on them to some extent. In particular, the favor and gift of the rules made the aborigines very envious.

But it's just envy.

The number of players is too small. The population of 10 billion accounts for only one thousandth or even less of the Longshan region. For the endless beings of the entire Neno Continent, it is even more of a trembling in the sea.

However, for Xu Yong, it is indeed not the right time for the player to come.

Just as Scar told Ning Yuan, there is also a brilliant existence among the aborigines of the Nino Continent. Whether it is an awakened dream or an unawakened dream. Moreover, under the uncountable huge population base of the Nino Continent, this number is unimaginable for the stars of the end of the era.

Therefore, as long as the aborigines on the Nino continent have the corresponding knowledge reserves, it can be said that their understanding of Huangsheng is still above the player.

This is also the reason why Scar concludes that Ning Yuan is a player and concludes that he is Huangsheng Mengjue and has the information of a certain chance. It can be said that in the early days of the player's arrival, any wild player is a windfall for the aboriginal cultivators, and as long as they encounter it, it is basically equivalent to mastering the ticket to a chance.

However, Xu Yong really didn't expect that Scar's good luck would happen to be the goal of his mission, and he didn't expect that the weak player who should have been caught would be able to get to Scar's cunning guy.

Although he felt that the time of the player's arrival was wrong, after thinking about it as a whole, Xu Yong was still very glad that Scar had this encounter with the player. Not only did he consume the resurrection times of the Hatred Scar and others once, leaving him with only one last life, but he also brought himself a clue to the secret realm that he had been looking for for for nearly eight years and still had no clue. If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't sure if that player had been reincarnated, Xu Yongdu felt that that player was simply a lucky star given to him by the rules.

However, if the wild player has not been reincarnated, but has entered the secret realm, and in case he obtains everything in the secret realm, then the lucky star will also become a scourge. Because of this, Xu Yongcai hated the embarrassment of time, the launch of the beast tide made him completely lose the opportunity to confirm the secret realm immediately, and the two months added a lot of variables. So he had to get his hands on any information about the wild player and be prepared for any surprises that might arise.

The irritable Xu Yong had already walked to the depths of the inner courtyard of the station, and Xue Qing's cruel laughter and the woman's crying and screaming came from his ears.

Xu Yong frowned, and looked at the bright lights in the courtyard and the shadows dancing on the windows.

He stared at the shadow on the window for a long time, until the voice of the woman in the room became weaker and weaker until it was inaudible, and Xu Yong withdrew his gaze.

Lowering his head, a strange look flashed in Xu Yong's green fake eyes, and he gave up his original plan to report and turned around and walked towards his room.

At the end of the day, around the middle of the hour, the defensive barrier of Koca City opened, and at the same time, the army guarding the city walls and gates began to encounter the small group of monsters at the vanguard of the beast tide, and the bloody February officially opened.

In the vibration of the entire Dragon Head Mountain Range and the howl of the endless demon beasts, Ning Yuan on the platform opened his eyes a little dazed.

Ning Yuan, who stood up with the three-edged cold iron spear in his hand, his eyes were sometimes confused and sometimes clear, and he began to practice the three-edged spear trick in his mind with the slight vibration of the ground and the faint roar of demon beasts in his ears.

The action from the initial jerky to proficient, from the confusion of the moves to the sudden, under the "sunset" the understanding of the three-edged gun trick is deepening, over and over again in the practice and correction, the three-edged gun trick in Ning Yuan's mind seems to have begun to change, in the dark Ning Yuan followed a certain thought that appeared in his mind, and then the original neutral and peaceful three-edged gun posture seemed to suddenly have a thick spirituality, and the whole gun momentum became stagnant and heavy.

Ning Yuan, who let go of the inexplicable intuition in his mind, didn't seem to feel the solemnity of the gun, and still practiced the three-edged gun trick in his mind in a more and more slow attitude, until an inexplicable breath entered his body with his breath, and left a "seed" when passing through the sea of qi.

The system prompt sound that sounded in his head woke Ning Yuan up. Ning Yuan, who suddenly came to his senses, was a little dazed when he looked at the system record.

"Congratulations to the player for successfully condensing his qi and becoming a soldier-level cultivator."

"Condensation success?!" Ning Yuan looked at these four words dumbfounded, and muttered in his mouth: "What the hell?!" How can it be? ”

Ning Yuan returned his consciousness from his mind to his body, and felt it carefully, it seemed to be a little different, but he didn't have a clear idea of how to make a difference.

Ning Yuan didn't have any surprises about quickly cultivating the first wisp of internal qi with the help of "Xizhao", but to say that he succeeded in condensing qi directly, Ning Yuan really didn't believe it. Even with systematic help, the first cultivation left behind the "Qi Seed", which in Ning Yuan's opinion, no one could do except those cultivation demons. Not to mention him, even those elites who claim to be geniuses and geniuses can't do it, unless they use external forces.

A confused look flashed on Ning Yuan's bookish face, the existence of the system is the core rule in the Nino Continent, and its judgment should not be wrong.

"So, try?" Ning Yuan's mind flashed, and his consciousness gathered again, but this time it was not focused on his mind but on his body.

"Look inward!" As soon as his thoughts turned, a black and white world suddenly appeared in Ning Yuan's consciousness, and slowly colors began to appear in the black and white world. Then Ning Yuan "saw" his heart, viscera, meridians, blood vessels, musculoskeletal, and the stars of the Star Palace that radiated hazy brilliance.

Although there are only three stars, Tai Guan, Tai Yin and Shao Yin, both in the stars and on the Neno continent, it is believed that each star palace in the human body corresponds to an invisible star outside the sky.

Consciousness shifted downward, and Ning Yuan finally "saw" what he wanted to see.

A cotton wool-like ball of light floats in the Qi Sea Star Palace, this is the "Qi Seed" - the "Seed of Yuan Qi".

"It's really done?!" Ning Yuan opened his eyes in surprise, and his consciousness immediately detached from the state of "inner vision".

The so-called "condensation" is the condensation of a "seed of vitality" in the "sea of qi" star palace. The initial cultivation of a soldier-level cultivator is to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into the "Qi Species", and then compress it to the limit to make it "explode", and open up the "Qi Sea" Star Palace to become a real "Qi Sea"—the Sea of Yuan Qi.

This process typically takes three to six years among the indigenous people. Among them, it takes one to two years to condense the "Qi Seed", and it takes three to four years to fill and compress the "Qi Seed" and make it "explode".

Although the player has the help of the system, Ning Yuan originally estimated that the condensation stage would take about seven to ten days, which is not only the process of familiarizing the player with the flow of vitality in the body, but also the process of the player's understanding of what cultivation is.

"It's all over the place with me?!" Ning Yuan raised his left hand in confusion and scratched his scalp, and then remembered that it seemed that he had just followed the idea that appeared inexplicably in the state of "sunset" and then such a strange thing happened.

"It shouldn't be the reason for 'sunset'." Ning Yuan vetoed the idea that "sunset" was the reason for the first time.

The official name of "Sunset" should be called "Shadow of the Past", which is the name of the ability that automatically comes to Ning Yuan's mind when he awakens into a dream when he is six years old. "Sunset" is the abbreviation of Ning Yuan's own ability.

The effect of the "Shadow of the Past" is to put it bluntly, the effect of memory reproduction, although it can engrave some "memories" as "instinctual" effects, and at the same time, it can also deepen the understanding and comprehension of "knowledge" memories, but it definitely does not have the ability to change "memories". The side effects are only the blurring or erasure of specific memories, but they are only for the memories themselves, not for the knowledge and imprint instincts that are realized by "memories".

The thought in the dark just now undoubtedly changed the memory of "Three-Edged Gun Technique" in the original "Sunset". This is not the effect of "looking in the past".

"It seems more like some kind of self-evolution after enlightenment... Ning Yuan muttered.

The moment this thought appeared in his mind, Ning Yuan seemed to think of something, and immediately called out the character panel in his mind.

"Name: Ning Yuan

Gender: Male

Race: Zhuxia Terran

Occupation: Practitioner

Household registration status: None

Cultivation Level: Soldier (Beginning)

Talent Seeds: 4 (Powerful, Swift, Alien Eye, Yayan)

Powerful (Channeling)

Swift (Booting)

Yayan (Awakening)

Awakened Talents:

Gun Spine: Heavy

Number of respawns: 1 (cannot be promoted, cannot be replenished)

Number of rebirths: zero

Item: Omitted

"Sure enough!" Looking at the information on the character panel, a sudden look appeared on Ning Yuan's face, and he became excited in an instant.

The "Heavy" of the first stage of "Gun Spine" has been awakened, and the effect is that the power of the gun is deepened, similar to the effect of the "Strong" talent. However, this force does not refer to the force used by the body, but to the power of the gun itself, which is used as a weapon.

To put it simply, to understand that weapon talents such as "gun spine" are equivalent to the affinity of weapons, proficiency and other things. You have the highest affinity with a certain weapon, and the higher your proficiency, the more you will be able to exert the power of the weapon itself and master the skills of using the weapon.

In the introduction of the "Talent Atlas", the "Spear Spine" talent is divided into four deepening stages: "heavy", "light", "potential" and "Tao". The effect of "heavy" is to deepen the power of the weapon itself, "light" is the method of "light and heavy transformation" of the weapon, "potential" is to strengthen the use of the weapon to the vitality, such as strengthening the power of the spear and other external vitality attacks, and "dao" is vaguely described as mastering the "road of the gun".

Although the "Spear Spine" belonged to the general class of weapon talents, it was indeed a reason to be excited to be able to awaken the first stage of Ning Yuan as soon as he stepped into the military-level cultivator.

Isn't there a saying that "there is no garbage talent, only garbage talent owners".

However, although the awakening of the "spear spine" made Ning Yuan feel excited, what excited him the most was the words "Yao Yan (awakening)". His guess was finally confirmed, and it was not surprising that when the "Three-Edged Gun Technique" completely became Ning Yuan's own "Three-Edged Gun Technique", it would be the time when the "Yanyan" talent really awakened.

Don't underestimate the difference between "leading" and "awakening." "Guidance" is "leading but not ending", and "awakening" is "developing but not ending".

In other words, the talent that is "guiding" is completely ineffective, but the talent that is "awakening" can already exert a partial effect, but this effect is uncontrollable.

The "awakening" talent of "Yanyan" convinced Ning Yuan of his guess. "Yanyan" is indeed a spiritual talent such as calculus and derivation, and the combination of "sunset" can make him greatly improved in many aspects. It can be said that in addition to that unknown sixth talent, "Yanyan" will undoubtedly become Ning Yuan's most important reliance.
