Chapter 60: The First Weight

As the purest and richest vitality, Gang Qi can often play a vital role in cultivating the Seven Nights of the West.

Zheng Yuliao felt that the pain was reduced, when he was cultivating in Qinglin Mountain, he had absorbed enough metallic vitality, and with the Gang Qi transmitted by Zheng Fang, now was also the best time to condense the metallic nature into a point, he naturally did not have the ability to turn into Gang, but with the requirements of the real gold body to refine the body, Zheng Fang's Gang Qi became the best tonic.

Sinking down, Zheng Jiliao's body emitted a faint white halo, which was especially conspicuous in the unlit room. The two of them outside the window were stunned, and their mouths opened wide. Nan Gu even almost dropped his jaw in shock, if Zheng Jiliao's sudden recovery of strength was due to some chance or talent is really strong, then what is the matter with Zheng Yu, a young man who has just come of age?

Zheng Flail gave him too many surprises, Yuan Qi turned into Gang, crossed the level twice and fought with demons, and there was no trend of being seriously injured, if it was really a tiger father without a dog, if Ren Zheng Flail continued to develop, his achievements in the future would never be below him!

The air in the room suddenly became much thinner, and a little cold air spilled out of the cracks in the paper window, hitting the eyes of Nangu and Feng Gui. As soon as their eyes were sore, they took a break, blinked a few times, and then looked at them carefully.

Due to the distance between them, the two of them outside the window couldn't see clearly, Zheng Yu's face became a little pale, but what they could see clearly was Zheng Yuyao, and his naked upper body became red, as if he had just fished out of the flames.

The energy visible to the naked eye in the room was fluctuating in an orderly manner, accompanied by Zheng Jilian's breathing, sometimes rapid, sometimes slowing, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting. And Zheng Fang saw that his father was already on the right track, so he quietly got out of bed and found a quiet place to recover and cultivate.

In the past two days, he has consumed too much vitality, and as soon as the vitality is exhausted, he will immediately recover, which can undoubtedly be a very good help for cultivation, especially with the blessing of one hundred and eight Yan Qigong, it may not take half a month, and in a few days he can break through to the second mountain.

Only then did Nan Gu stand up straight, gently patted his palm on Feng Gui's shoulder, and pointed to the inner mansion of the City Lord's Mansion with his finger, meaning to say, "It's okay, let's go." Feng Gui comprehended, followed Nan Gu and left the medicine hall.

"City Lord, why are you going, the big guys are waiting for you!" Hong Xin has a strong temperament, and he doesn't like others to wait for him like this, so there is a slight dissatisfaction in his tone, and Nan Gu scratches the back of his head embarrassedly, and there is no city lord at all.

"I just visited Zheng Jiliao in the medicine hall, and he is fine. Come on, let's discuss the harvest of this matter, Patriarch Hong, it's up to you to start!"

"Okay, since the city lord takes a fancy to me Hongxin, then I won't shirk it. I don't want to say anything else, but if you look at this map I found from the corpse of that big scorpion, I can't understand what is marked in it. A group of people gathered around the long table, but Hong Xin stood up and unfolded a drawing from his hand, which seemed to have something on it.

At first glance, it looked like a map, but it did not indicate the south, east, west, and north. If it's a piece of paper, but there's only an image on it, and even a word is scarce.

The image depicts a mountain, which seems to look down from above, with a silhouette that looks like a tiger and a dragon but does not look like anything, except for a yellow pattern the size of a soybean, which is almost a circle, with nine crane heads emanating from the circumference, and a white tiger head engraved on the corner of the drawing, which makes people puzzled......

"This ...... What does this mean exactly?" Zheng Haiwei frowned and tilted his head, it was harder than guessing a riddle. I couldn't get an answer, so I looked around at the changes in other people's expressions, and they were all at a loss.

"If you can't think of it, then put it aside and look at me. This is what I found from that big rooster, maybe there are no other clues, I think this thing looks like an elixir, but if you look closely, it doesn't look like an elixir, so I brought it over. As he spoke, Zheng Yingming took out something the size of a goose egg from his pocket, which was dark and dark, and there was a little starlight in it.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this thing, but only Nangu recognized it. It is no wonder that everyone present, except for Nan Gu and Feng Gui, who need to run all over the country because they have to take on tasks, the world they see is not as narrow as these patriarchs and elders in Ice Heart City, and Nan Gu is here for many years, and he traveled to the empire in his early years, so Feng Gui didn't know that he recognized it for the first time.

"This is the Starlight Orb! Because it is produced in the Sea of Stars, this bead is only rich in water attribute vitality in the whole body, and the rest of the stars are not at all, which is of great benefit to those who cultivate the water cultivation method, since that big rooster is the opponent of Patriarch Zheng, then this thing will be distributed by Patriarch Zheng. Nangu explained the bead again.

After listening to the explanation, Zheng Yingming put away the Starlight Orb, although this thing is not beneficial to himself, but it is better than nothing. Then Nangu also took out something and put it on the table. This thing is also a drawing, but it is not a mountain or water painted on it. The directions, scales, and icons on it are very detailed, and at first glance, it is a map.

From the text of this map, there are two place names, "Ice Heart City" and "Daybreak City", which draw a map of the distribution of various cities in the western part of the empire. This map is four or five times larger than the drawings taken out by Hong Xin, and the mountains and rivers, the shape of the city, and the distribution of the strong are all very detailed.

"Sure enough, they are fighting our Ice Heart City's idea, but we don't know who is the mastermind behind the scenes, they will definitely not give up after sending demons to Ice Heart City to carry out the mission, think about the worst, if it is really like what Yingji said, there will be another demon from the Seven Mountains, I'm afraid our Ice Heart City will not last long......"

Nan Gu's expression froze, if it weren't for the death of his old opponent at his hands and the search for some clues, maybe he and the others would still be living in complacency without any vigilance. Since Yingji said that he would report to the upper echelons of the empire, he should not abandon the border city, so time is an important factor.

"The information communication between the two cities is too slow! We can't keep shrinking in Ice Heart City, or we should take the initiative to attack hard, as long as we have the support of our alliance, as soon as the eldest brother and the second brother come back, we will completely wipe out that force!" Feng Gui stood up with enthusiasm and said to Nangu with a little excitement and excitement.

"Sit down, you're in your forties, not more than forty days! Why are you still so immature? This matter can be big or small, big enough to be related to the territorial integrity of the empire, and small to just the invasion of the demon clan. Besides, the Anti-Heresy Alliance is not sponsored by the Empire? When the time comes, the deployment of troops will depend on the above meaning, not that you can exterminate it if you say that it will be exterminated!"

Feng Gui quieted down, thinking about it, the alliance is not something that the eldest brother and the second brother can say, they are just the person in charge of the alliance.

However, Nangu pondered it again, indeed, this map has drawn a "cross" for Daybreak City, and also drawn a bar for Iceheart City and several other cities, if they guessed correctly, they used Daybreak City as a springboard to annex the western part of the empire, and the next one to be captured may be Iceheart.

If you make a rash move, the whole army will inevitably attack with great momentum, but at the same time, Ice Heart City will inevitably be empty. If indifferent, it can be passive. If you want to fill the shortcomings on both sides, the best way is to leave some forces in Ice Heart City, first, to be a good backup, and second, to deal with emergencies. Thinking of this, Nangu also nodded secretly.

"Okay! I have three questions for you, and you have to answer me truthfully! Now that the situation in Dawnbreak City is critical, the map shows that maybe our Ice Heart City is their next target, although they don't have a kind of open competition method such as the first challenge book, but it doesn't mean that the demons won't play any hooligans! I ask you three families, are you from Ice Heart City?" Nangu Zhengse asked.

Zheng Yingming, the patriarch of the Zheng family, Hong Xin, the patriarch of the Hong family, and the acting patriarch of the Sima family, Elder Sima looked at each other, and seemed to understand the intention in each other's eyes, they all nodded secretly, and said at the same time: "We are natives of Ice Heart City, this is our homeland that we can't give up, we are willing to be born and die for Ice Heart City!"

Nangu also nodded, expressing satisfaction. He is not from Ice Heart City, and when he first took over as the city lord, he was rejected by the three major families, but he was united in the same spirit. Then he asked, "Okay, second question, would you like to listen to someone from my south?"

The first to speak out were Zheng Yingming and Grand Elder Sima. They said yes in unison, but Hong Xin was the only one who stood up. Grand Elder Sima was able to make up his mind in one breath because his Sima family and the City Lord's Mansion were in a cooperative relationship, one was prosperous, and the other was lost. Zheng Yingming, on the other hand, is much simpler, he has been in contact with Nangu for the longest time, and he knows him quite well, so he is the most trusted answer.

"Okay! Since that's the case, then I, Hong Xin, am not willing to be left behind, so I won't shirk it!" Hong Xin also confirmed under the affirmative eyes of the three elders of the Hong family, after all, the demon is the first enemy, and now is not the time to scruple about the prosperity of the family, but how can the three elders of the Hong family know that he is hesitating for nothing else, just to guard against Nangu.

Seeing that Hong Xin agreed with some hesitation, Nan Gu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and said:

"Then the third question, because there is a demon from the Seven Mountains in Dawnbreak City, we must not be reckless, so we can't leave any chance to let them fight back against the demons! I will fight side by side with you, but there is one thing that must be done, any spoils obtained in the battle will be handed over to the City Lord's Mansion for safekeeping, and after victory, we will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and we must not ruin the whole situation for our own selfishness!"

This time, it was Zheng Yingming who was the first to speak out, and he was the only one who supported Nangu at this time. He knew that Nan Gu was not a person who saw things, otherwise he would not have been mixed into the position of the city lord. Grand Elder Sima then followed, expressing his willingness to listen to Nangu's words. This time, it was Hongxin who did not follow the large army, and he did not make up his mind for a long time.

"Patriarch Hong, is there anything you can't worry about?" Nangu asked solemnly.

This is not persecution, because if you can't agree to this, the first two questions will be asked in vain! Just imagine, the demons do a lot of injustice, cruel persecution of human beings, looting the people's fat and ointment and rare treasures, if one of them kills the rich demon and gets many treasures, leading to internal division, and then turning back and being broken by the demons one by one, then it will be too late.

"This ......" Hong Xin looked down at his clenched hands, gritted his teeth, and said in his heart: "Okay! I'll believe you for the time being! If you betray your reputation, there is no need for future cooperation!"

"You can rest assured of this. I've been an official for more than ten years, do you think I've been greedy for anything?" Nan Gu smiled, the stone in his heart had finally settled, but he was still vigilant, after all, this was just a gentleman's agreement, if the time came, who betrayed his companion because he had encountered a treasure......
