Chapter 493: Return to Youzhou
Shang Pei and Shang Xia left the small mountain village one after the other.
Shang Xia returned to Youzhou all the way north, while Shang Pei headed south to the Five Mountains League in the Sixth Taihang Dynasty earlier.
It is said that the situation of the Five Mountains Alliance has not been very good in recent times, because of the reasons of this newly rising power itself, as well as the fact that the Linyuan relics have been found from time to time around the area near the Sixth Mountain in recent times, coupled with the fact that some people have secretly spread the news that the Five Mountains Alliance has seized more Linyuan relics, so that many bandits in the Taihang Mountains regard the warriors of the Five Mountains Alliance as the target of hunting, which makes the entire Wushan Alliance panic.
At this time, a fourfold heavenly martial artist joining the Five Mountains Alliance in a high-profile manner can play a role in appeasing the hearts of the people of the entire Five Mountains Alliance, as well as establishing self-confidence, and it is also a deterrent to external hostile forces.
Moreover, after Shang Pei left, Cen Wu and other old people from Youyan Village would also leave the mountain village, and then join the Five Mountains Alliance, becoming her core team in the Five Mountains Alliance.
In the days before he left, Shang Xia made a batch of second- and third-order martial talismans for Cen Wu and the others, striving for each person to get a few as their hole cards to save their lives.
With Shang Xia's current cultivation and attainments in the rune path, as long as the materials are sufficient, the second-order martial talisman can be made into several pieces a day, and even the third-order martial talisman can be made one per day.
Of course, the latter was not to strip Shang Xia of his own martial will, but for Cen Fifth and other third-order martial artists to take turns to contribute their own martial arts will for Shang Xia to make third-order martial talismans.
In fact, with Shang Xia's current huge and heavy martial arts divine will, even if it is used to make a third-order martial talisman, it is only one for two days at most, and one day is successful in production, and one day for cultivation is enough.
The production of this batch of martial arts talismans has almost hollowed out the family funds accumulated by Shang Pei, Cen Wu and others over the years.
After Shang Xia advanced to the Four Elephant Realm, he didn't have much free time at all because of one thing after another.
Even if there were, all the attention was on the production of the fourth-order martial talisman.
But so far, the only fourth-order martial talisman that Shang Xia could make was a "Golden Yang Fire Talisman" and a "Wandering Spirit Shield Talisman".
This time, he went back to make second- and third-order martial talismans, which made him truly understand what the so-called fourth-order martial talisman master meant?
Shang Xia returned to Youzhou this time, but there were no waves along the way, and no accidents happened.
After entering Youzhou, Shang Xia was not in a hurry to return to Tongyou City, but now settled in Haimin, Changfeng City.
It wasn't until the second day that I went to the city lord's mansion to visit Bu Jingshuang.
Shang Xia's official identity in Tongyou Academy is a fourth-order rune master of the Fu Hall under the Academy's Warehousing Division.
The status of the official talisman master in the Fu Hall is equivalent to that of ordinary teachers and deacons in the academy, but the status of the teacher is usually slightly higher and more respected.
However, usually the position of teaching and learning can be concurrent, such as Chu Jia and Ma Mingzheng, the fourth-order formation masters of the Array Hall, Ge Wangchuan and others of the Medicine Hall, all of whom also have the position of teaching and learning in the Teaching Division.
However, it is not easy to become a teacher in the academy, although theoretically at least three levels of cultivation are required, but the combination of all aspects of the conditions is actually very high.
Even after the Academy's Teaching Department began to expand year by year in the previous two years, the manpower of the Teaching Department began to be overstretched, and this threshold has never been lowered.
Of course, the identity of the Shang Xia Fourfold Heavenly Martial Artist and the Fourth-Order Martial Fu Master is another matter.
In fact, if Shang Xia was willing to teach part-time in the academy
Xi's position will attract competition from the three priests at any time.
But even so, Shang Xia's identity at this time was slightly embarrassing in the academy.
Because he was so young, not to mention some third-order martial artists in the academy who had been his mentors, many fourth-order martial artists felt embarrassed when they saw him.
This awkward feeling has always put Shang Xia in a relatively delicate situation in the academy, not isolated, but there is always a sense of alienation in the politeness.
This is also the reason why Shang Xia returned to the academy directly.
Moreover, Shang Xia had already sensed that Kou Chongxue and the others didn't know what they were planning when Yu Xifeng was attacking the Four Elephant Realm.
Most of the fourth-order martial artists in the entire academy, including the admonishment martial artists of the four major families in Tongyou City, disappeared from the eyes of outsiders in the name of retreat cultivation and confrontation with Cangling martial artists in the two realms battle domain.
Shang Xia even thought that Kou Chongxue's target was the Linyuan Secret Realm at first, but after the Great Melee broke out in the Sixth Dynasty, he was shocked to realize that the Linyuan Secret Realm was just an idle chess piece set up by Kou Chongxue and the others by chance to take effect.
Even when the Linyuan Secret Realm appeared, the battle that took place in the Yunshui Stream might just be a trick used by Kou Chongxue to attract the attention of others.
Even if he returns to the academy now, I'm afraid there are few people who can explain to him what happened, most likely just to receive one or two tasks and continue to be a half-informed tool man, unless he directly meets Kou Chongxue or Ji Wenlong.
But now he has another way, and that is the Changfeng City Lord's step is shocking.
This sworn brother of Kou Chongxue back then, I am afraid that in addition to Kou Chongxue and the four deputy mountain chiefs, he is the person who knows the most about the overall planning of Tongyou Academy.
Bu Jingshuang was not surprised by Shang Xia's arrival, but what really made him sigh was the speed of Shang Xia's growth.
The battle of the Linyuan Secret Realm shook the entire Cangyu Realm, as long as those who paid a little attention to this battle, they would find that apart from the few fifth-order ancestors of various forces, Shang Xia was actually the most dazzling one.
The Linyuan Divine Sword, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Gang, the unbelievable Four Evil Initiates, and the escape experience under the fifth-order Ancestor Zhen, each of which happened to a fourth-order martial artist was enough to make people marvel, not to mention that everything was concentrated on one person?
The first time he saw Shang Xia, Bu Jingshuang clearly informed him that after this battle, he had already entered the sight of the high-level martial artists of the major forces in the entire Cangyu Realm.
Shang Xia smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Then do you say that the disciple should be happy, or should he be worried?"
Bu Jingshuang didn't bother to answer Shang Xia's question, but asked directly: "Why did you kid come to see the old man this time?"
Shang Xia straightened his demeanor for a moment, and said with a straight face: "Senior, do you know what the academy is calling back the disciple this time?"
Bu Jingshuang was surprised: "Didn't I explain it to you?"
But then he suddenly said: "That's right, you are outside Youzhou, in order to prevent leakage, the secret information should not be too clear." ”
Shang Xia didn't rush to ask, but waited for Bu Jingshuang to speak.
After a slight groan, Bu Jingshuang said, "This time, you may go to the Outer Heaven Dome, or you may be sent to the Outer Heaven Continent Land. ”
Shang Xia had heard Zhang Haogu talk about the matter of Tianwai Continent Land, so he was not surprised after hearing the news from Bu Jingshuang again.
Shang Xia thought
After thinking about it, he asked, "But is it because the situation of the academy in the Outer Continent is not very good?"
Bu Jingshuang was a little surprised by Shang Xia's composure when he heard the news, and nodded: "The original intention of the academy was to quietly take a piece of the pie from this Outer Heaven Continent land without alarming the forces of all parties, and for this reason, it also reached an agreement with the Cangling Realm Changbai Holy Land to secretly join forces. ”
Shang Xia's expression remained unchanged and said, "Then, what happened, has the academy's plan been exposed?"
Bu Jingshuang shook his head and said, "But the people of Changbai Holy Land have been exposed, and in the battle of Yunshuijian, Ji Wenlong took out Ling Xuan's Void Claw, a Cangling Divine Weapon......
Shang Xia suddenly understood, and continued: "So the other forces have reason to suspect that the people of Tongyou Academy have also secretly entered the Outer Heaven Continent?"
Bu Jingshuang nodded, and said, "Actually, there is controversy about your use. Some people think that as a fourth-order martial talisman master, you don't need to intervene in this battle, you just need to stay in a place like the Outer Heaven Dome and focus on the production of the fourth-order martial talisman, which is the greatest support for this battle for the Outer Heaven Continent land; ”
Shang Xia smiled: "Is that disciple going or not going this time?"
Bu Jingshuang also smiled: "So this time I want to recall you to ask in person, but ......"
Shang Xia smiled: "Please tell me bluntly." ”
Bu Jingshuang said: "Whether you choose to go or not in the end, there is only one fourth-order talisman master in the academy, and the old man thinks that you had better make all preparations." Moreover, even if you end up going to the Outer Heaven Continent, you still need to go to the Outer Heaven Dome first, which is where the cultivation resources required by high-level martial artists really gather. ”
After Shang Xia came out of the City Lord's Mansion, he directly set off and returned to Tongyou City.
After returning to the merchant mansion in the city, he soon learned that Shang Ji was still in retreat to attack the Four Heavens, and Shang Ke had also never appeared in the family for the reason of retreat, and now it was Shang Xi who had returned from the Two Realms War Domain in charge of the entire family.
When Shang Xia met Shang Xi, she was discussing with Shang Quan to send someone to bring a mutant swift and follow the caravan of the Academy's World Intelligence Department to Taihang Mountain to hand it over to Shang Pei, so as to facilitate the communication between the two places.
That mutant swift was one of the three swallow eggs that Shang Xia gave to Yan Nier to hatch after he was brought out of the Two Realms Battle Domain.
At that time, together with the golden eggs laid by Yannier and Thunderbird, Yannier hatched a total of four mutant swifts that could enter and exit the two realms.
Now that more than two years have passed, the original four little mutant swifts have grown to the second order under careful cultivation, and they are no longer weaker than the size when Shang Xia found Yan Ni as a child.
As for speed, not to mention, every adult mutant swift has a speed that is faster than that of a fourth-order martial artist, and the key is that it lasts!
Shang Xia was puzzled: "Isn't it possible to use the secret talisman for long-distance contact?"
Shang Xi shook his head and said: "It's too easy to be intercepted halfway, although it won't leak the content of the summons, but the consumption of interstate summons is too great, and each summons even have to be sent out at the same time, so that it is possible to ensure that at least one secret message talisman is delivered." ”
In fact, after the four little ones hatched by Yan Nier gradually grew up, the other three except Yan Lei had already been booked by the academy.
After the last adult mutant swift was sent, only Yan Nier and Yan Lei, the two ptarmigans who had completed their transformation, remained in the business.
