Crow Market is more than 1,400 kilometers away from Gray Corner City, and the float boat has a speed of 30 knots per hour, about 50 kilometers, and it flew slowly for a day and a night, and finally arrived the next morning.

It's the turn of spring and summer, and the climate is on the humid side. As far as the eye can see, the wasteland is white. The float gradually descends, and the center of the white fog reveals the outline of the city.

The stone walls stood tall and brought warmth and safety to the people, but the rolling clumps of dead grass at the foot of the city reminded them of the coldness and unforgiveness of the wasteland.

This is a wilderness in the north, a barren land with sparse vegetation and dry rivers.

However, in terms of water, Greyhorn is much better than the edge towns in the depths of the wilderness. In the summer, when the rainfall in the Dragon's Tooth Mountains increases dramatically, the Ambergris River is flooded with water, and the dried tributaries are reborn.

As long as there is a large enough reservoir, water use is not a problem. The fringe towns rely on groundwater, and the main source of groundwater is one or two heavy snowfalls in winter, which melts and seeps into the ground.

Located in the heart of the northern wilderness, Greyhorn is dominated by management and trading, radiating six surrounding towns and hundreds of marginal towns.

The people of the northern wilderness are proud to have a two-bedroom apartment in Greyhorn. When has it been, this is also Chen Xing's dream. I dream of building a love nest here with the girl who plays the piano.

However, the little dream is still shattered by the harsh reality......

But he knew that it was all gone, a distant memory.

The courier of the previous life, the leader of the mercenary squad, the mayor of this life, and the future lord.

When he looked at this familiar and unfamiliar city in a different capacity, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. For him now, the dream can be realized with a little finger, and it is as small as dust.

Why was it so desirable back then, but now it's readily available?

That's what it means to be powerful.

When a person becomes strong, what he could not ask for before will become easy.

When you cross that line, everything that was once small becomes small. Love and hatred, honor and disgrace, but they are all fleeting.

Stopped for a temporary material need, and forgot to move forward for an uncertain love. Then what you end up with is likely to be bitter.

So he firmly believes that the only way to achieve his dreams is to make himself strong, rather than relying on someone's handouts.

Charity of possessions, charity of love, or whatever.

"Master, do you remember anything?" Seeing Yuelia open her mouth gently. She saw her master looking at the city below, his eyes deep, with a faint sadness in the silence, and she couldn't help her heartstrings flutter and her heart pounded.

It was an indescribable feeling that directly broke through her heart defense, so much so that she made an arrogant move.

As a maid, how can you figure out the Lord?

However, she just couldn't help her inner curiosity and wanted to know everything about this man. She secretly made up her mind to receive a hundred lashes at night and punish herself severely.

"Hmm......" Chen Xing nodded thoughtfully.

"Remember?" Seeing Yue Canglian asked, she gave herself another hundred whips in her heart.

"Lots of ......"

"Probably, probably, what's going on?" Seeing that Yuecang Lian received another hundred lashes, it was now three hundred lashes.

"I can't tell......"

"Ah......" Finally, she gave up. Convinced, the five bodies are on the ground. The master's mind was indeed not something that she, a stupid maid, could guess. The master is a deep sea, a majestic mountain range, follow the master with her eyes closed, and give her whole heart to the master, this is what she should do.

"Actually, it's not that it's not clear."

"That's?" The maid asked subconsciously, and then received another hundred lashes.

"Well, I still won't talk about it."

"Why?"

"I don't know where to start......

"Ah......h

Without the master's knowledge, the poor maid took five hundred lashes for herself. Because it is necessary to ensure that the skin is smooth the next day, so that it can accept the master's presence at any time, and can only receive ten lashes in one night. Then for the next fifty days, he had to suffer the pain of whipping every night.

If Chen Xing knew, he would definitely be pardoned. With such an enlightened maid chief, what more can the husband ask for? But the problem is that he doesn't know anything.

Moments later, the float boat landed outside the city.

The reason why he didn't choose to land on the rooftop of a five-star hotel in the city was because Chen Xing's reputation in Gray Corner City was not very good. The Yang family can be said to be destroyed by him, his lips and teeth are cold, and the gate valve family must not have a good impression of him, so he chooses to keep a low profile.

Chen Xing asked everyone to stand by on the float and rode the locomotive into the city alone.

Greyhorn City is different from Raven City back then, Greyhorn City hosts residents in the northern wilderness, it is not a modern city, and there are no strict restrictions on entry and exit.

Raven City and Monitor Lizard City have to change to levitating vehicles to ensure the cleanliness of the city's roads, Ice Blue City is stricter, and you have to change carriages, but Gray Corner City doesn't need anything, just drive in.

After waiting for a while at a café near Ye Yang's house, the third uncle came. This café was bought by Chen Xing and given to the third uncle as a gift. When the waiter saw the third uncle coming, he immediately went up to help with the crutches and hat.

Originally, the third uncle didn't like Chen Xing very much, and in his eyes, Chen Xing was a coaxing and deceiving charlatan. His grandniece has suffered a lot. However, after this period of contact, I feel that this young man is calm and sophisticated, and he can't find anything wrong with him. His grandniece followed him, and he would not suffer in the future, so he was relieved.

He is different from the rest of the Ye Yang family, when people reach the year of the Mandate of Heaven, the gains and losses of interests are downplayed, as long as the future generations can be happy and safe.

"What are your plans for this visit?" The third uncle asked openly. He is open-minded and straightforward, and has no habit of beating around the bush.

"I want to learn the art of soul quenching from you." Chen Xing poured coffee for the third uncle and said seriously.

"It's simple, it's not a secret, you can learn it in two or three days." The third uncle said casually.

In addition to the ancestral skills of the big families in this world, most of them can be found in books. It's a little off-the-beaten, but it's not a secret, you can learn it by going to the White Tower Academy or the Black Tower Academy for a little money.

"That's great!" Chen Xing said happily, "When can we start learning?" ”

"I'll tell you about the theory first...... the third uncle took a sip of coffee and told the story.

"Quenching is derived from the alchemy of Neo-Zen Taoism, which has a history of 3,000 years, and the so-called refining is to take its essence to remove its dross, and after hundreds of generations of refiners have persevered in their pursuit, when the cataclysmic aura recovers, it will eventually become a great weapon."

"However, it only takes a few hundred years for the revival of spiritual energy, and compared to thousands or even tens of thousands of years of civilization, human refining skills have always been backward, so it is impossible to create real magic weapons, let alone fakes in the undercurrent of time and space."

PS：

A few friends have suggested that they are a little vague about the level of the power system, so let's sort it out.

Ordinary people - quasi-elite level

If the single attribute of the force sensitive body exceeds 15 or the spiritual energy is awakened, it uses primary evolution potions or exercises, is slightly stronger than ordinary people, and can use one or two spiritual skills.

Once psionic awakening opens up a spiritual pool in the body, but psionic awakening is not a necessary condition for this stage.

Quasi-Elite – Elite

If the single attribute of the force sensitive body exceeds 25 or the spiritual power is 20, and the single attribute of the force sensitive body is not less than 15, using primary evolution potions or exercises, it is much stronger than ordinary people, and can use one or two spiritual skills

Psionic awakening is not a necessary condition for this stage, but those who cannot condense the spirit pool will stop here.

Elite – Big Elite

If the single attribute of the force sensitive body exceeds 30 and the tower is 1 layer, and the single attribute of the force sensitive body is not less than 20, the effect of the primary evolution potion gradually decays, which is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and they can use two or three spiritual skills

Great Elite - Quasi-Town Guard Level (Rank Breakthrough)

The primary evolution elixir is completely ineffective, and the intermediate elixir is used to break through, but the physical fitness is not up to standard and cannot be used, and forced use will cause the blood vessels to burst.

At this stage, the three attributes of the force sensitive body are no longer the main criteria, and the development of spiritual power occupies half of the position.

The average of the three attributes of the force sensitive body is more than 40, and the casting tower has 2~3 layers.

Quasi-Townsman - Townsends

The use of intermediate or high-grade agents to improve, force sensitive body three genera

The average sex is more than 50, and the casting tower has 3~4 floors

Town Guard Level - Big Town Guard Level

The effect of intermediate potions gradually decays, and high-grade potions or workouts are mainly used.

The three attributes of the force sensitive body have reached the limit of the species talent, and the tower is level 5 perfect.

This stage is the limit of what human beings can evolve by their own strength, and then they must rely on external forces.

With the help of the ancestors, or by special chance, you can use the Inheritance Spirit or Natal Spirit in advance.

Great Town Guard Level - Quasi-Lord Level (Rank Breakthrough)

The advanced evolution potion is completely ineffective, and the gold elixir is used to break through. Flowing Gold Elixir is extremely expensive and has a very different effect depending on the species' crystal nucleus, and the need for individual talent is higher, requiring the perception of the leylines, the extraction of the power of the Earth's core, and the creation of a shadow pool in the personal realm.

Stealing Fire Level 1, Shadow Pool*1, communicates with the undercurrents of time and space, and guides the spirits into the personal realm and drives them.

Quasi-lord level - lord level

Stealing Fire 2 Stacks, Shadow Pool*3

At this stage, the realm is very stable, whether it is to communicate the undercurrent of time and space or to drive the imperial spirit, it is very handy, you can have several powerful imperial spirits, and some strong can condense the Heavenly Mandate Armament.

The Mandate of Heaven armament is based on the condensation of information in the individual's life imprint, which fits the individual's characteristics, weapons or armor.

Lord-level - Great lord-level

Stealing Fire 3 stacks, Shadow Pool*7

This stage is the pinnacle of the Fire Stealing Period, and it is also a shackle, unable to extract more energy from the leylines, and needs to borrow power from the Void.

Great Lord - Little King (Breakthrough)

The realm is manifested, and the edge touches the void.

Draw energy directly from the Void and possess a large Legion of Spirits or False Gods

Little King - Big King (Breakthrough)

The realm manifests, and part enters the void.

Drawing a large amount of energy from the void, he has a large renewable spirit army and multiple false gods, and can create powerful natal spirits with his body tissue.

The Renewable Legion is the base of the Spirit, such as the Armored Samurai Factory, the Banshee Camp, the Lich Graveyard, and more.

Great King Class - Emperor Class (Theoretical Breakthrough)

The hierarchy that only exists in theory, the personal realm is completely detached from the original universe and is self-contained.

The level of some of the main characters at this stage.

Alia, the Great King, the Legion of Destruction (most of which have production bases), creates the Pupil of the Soul Destroyer.

Trilith, a king-level, succubus legion (most of which have production bases), creates the Queen of the Thorns.

Grand Duke of the Red Dragon, a little king, and a pseudo-god Red Dragon

McCorro, Little King, Golden Army (a small part has a production base)
