Chapter 21: The Praetorian Guard arrives
As soon as Zhou Yunfeng came back, Zhou Yunhu and the three of them suddenly felt that a savior had come!
In addition to being trained by Zhou Xiaojun on the first day, the three of them were trained every once in a while because they let Zhou Yunfeng, the division commander, leave alone.
Among them, the most unlucky is not the two brothers Zhou Yunlong and Zhou Yunhu, but Long Hao.
Although Zhou Xiaojun trained people more effectively, the two brothers Zhou Yunlong only listened to him alone, but Long Hao was different, because Zhou Xiaojun was the commander of the Blue Dragon Legion, plus he went to Snake King City to ask for a wildebeest and let Zhou Yunfeng leave, Long Hao was a participant, so every time Zhou Xiaojun trained Zhou Yunlong's two brothers, Long Hao did not run away.
After being trained by Zhou Xiaojun, the sins of Zhou Yunlong and Zhou Yunhu brothers are over, but Long Hao is not over yet, because his father Long Qingshan is also here, it may be that he feels that Zhou Xiaojun is very cool when he trains people, so after Long Hao is trained by Zhou Xiaojun, he will be destroyed by Long Qingshan for the second time.
As for Zhou Yunfeng, who just came back, he must have been reprimanded by Zhou Xiaojun less, but Zhou Yunfeng only gave Zhou Xiaojun such an opportunity.
After dinner, Zhou Yunfeng took Xiao Yan to retreat, this time it was a real retreat.
Before the retreat, Zhou Yunfeng only left a sentence, and the Praetorian Guard Legion arrived to inform him.
This made Zhou Yunlong, who wanted to continue to watch the scene of Zhou Yunfeng's training, disappointed, but they found that Zhou Yunfeng's return was not without benefit to them, and their ears were actually clean in the next few days, which made them forget their dissatisfaction with Zhou Yunfeng!
Zhou Yunfeng's retreat this time has one purpose, that is, to cultivate the "Refining Source", although the "Flame Extinguishing Thunder Punishment" makes Zhou Yunfeng's heart warm, but his fire system has not yet reached the Martial Emperor, even if he cultivates, he will not be able to exert his power, so Zhou Yunfeng plans to put it aside first.
The reason why the Five Elements System is slow to improve is that the accumulation of spiritual energy can't keep up, which has become Zhou Yunfeng's biggest headache, and he can't wait to grab a few Five Elements Fighting Stones now.
It's just that this can only be thought about, that kind of thing is basically in the hands of the major forces, and none of the people who have it are weak, not to mention himself, I'm afraid that even if Zhou Zhantian grabs it, it may not be pleased.
It's just that now it's okay, Zhou Yunfeng has obtained the "Refining Source", and the small achievement of refining the source refining can refine the demon core of the same level, purify the impurities of the evil qi in it, and inhale it into the body for cultivation.
Originally, this time Zhou Yunfeng was busy and entered the Luofu Mountains to find the cave mansion He Yu said, the purpose was to see if he could find some treasures to improve his fighting spirit, and it would be best if it could be a fighting stone.
But Zhou Yunfeng didn't have any of these things, but he got a better thing, that is, "Refining Source", if it was just some natural treasures, it would be used up soon, but after refining "Refining Source", there was no need to worry.
The energy in the demon core is violent, and there are still a lot of impurities for martial artists, so basically no martial artist can directly absorb the energy in the demon core to cultivate, and no one can directly devour the demon core like a demonic beast.
"Refining Source" is to refine and eliminate impurities from the energy absorbed from the demon core, turning the originally violent and impure energy into pure and gentle aura, and the aura obtained after refining is easily absorbed by the martial artist.
Therefore, with "Refining Source", as long as he has a magic core, Zhou Yunfeng is like getting a whole system and not running out of fighting stones, and he no longer worries about spending a lot of time to accumulate fighting spirit.
After cultivating the "Refining Source", Zhou Yunfeng realized that the jade slip of the Lu Dao was an indispensable thing for cultivating the "Refining Source", because in the early stage of cultivation, the martial artist's body could not withstand the impact of the churning energy during refining, so at the beginning, the refining energy needed to be carried out in the Yuan Jade Slip.
And Yuan Yu Jian also has a function, that is, to store energy, whether it is unrefined energy or energy that has been refined, it can be stored in Jade Jian, of course, this storage amount is also limited.
The storage capacity of Yuan Yujian is nothing to Qiu Tian of the Martial Saint, so this is also one of the reasons why Qiu Tian left it.
There is another reason why Qiu Tian left Yuan Yu Jian, that is, this Jade Jian is no longer useful to him, Qiu Tian, who has cultivated the "Refining Source" to perfection, refining the demon core no longer needs the help of Yuan Yu Jian, it can be completed in the body, and it is very fast.
It is not difficult to cultivate "Refining Source" to the entry, it only took two days, Zhou Yunfeng will cultivate to the entry, although the entry cannot refine the magic core of the same level, but it is no longer a problem to refine the demon core of the lower order.
In the process of cultivating "Refining Source", Zhou Yunfeng also found a problem, that is, cultivating the soul power of "Refining Source" is also very important, especially the overcontrol of soul power.
This was confirmed when Zhou Yunfeng was refining a fifth-level demon core, the stronger and more flexible the overcontrol of soul power, the faster the refining, the more handy it was.
This may be a difficult problem for others to overcome, but for Zhou Yunfeng, who is already a fifth-grade Xuandan master, this is not a problem at all, what the pill pharmacist practices is the overcontrol of soul power.
After successfully refining and absorbing the first fifth-level demon core, Zhou Yunfeng was extremely excited in his heart, he finally found a solution to the problem of slow progress in the cultivation of the "Heaven Breaking Technique", although Zhou Yunfeng was still a martial king after absorbing a few fifth-level demon cores, but Zhou Yunfeng knew that the spring of the breakthrough of the Five Elements System of the Dao was coming.
At the same time, Zhou Yunfeng was also very happy, the demonic beasts he had hunted for so many years had never been sold except for one at the auction in Tianyun City, so the demon cores he hunted were all in his Qiankun Ring, except for the fire and wind demon cores that were eaten by Xiao Yan.
Although the amount of these demon cores is not very large, it is enough for Zhou Yunfeng to absorb it for a while, and there are also the nine seventh-level demon cores obtained in the cave this time, although four of them have been booked by Xiao Yan, but the remaining five can already make Zhou Yunfeng have a lot of improvement.
For Zhou Yunfeng, who cultivated the "Heaven Breaking Technique", the demon core he absorbed did not need to be prepared by all five elements, because of the circulation of the five elements, as long as he absorbed one of the series, the other four systems would grow, so even if Zhou Yunfeng could refine the demon core now, he didn't have to compete with Xiao Yan for the fire system demon core
Three days passed quickly, and on the morning of the fourth day, Zhou Yunfeng was called out of the room by Zhou Yunhu, because the Praetorian Guard Legion was only twenty miles away from Taniguchi City.
After leaving the customs, Zhou Yunfeng, after washing up, changed into a black robe again, hastily ate breakfast, and walked with Zhou Xiaojun and others to the north gate of Gukou City.
The deputy commander who led the troops this time was a member of the Qin family, named Qin Qiong, and his strength was similar to that of Lan Huapeng, who was defeated by Zhou Yunfeng, and he was at the peak of the Ninth Transformation Martial Emperor, and his age was about the same as Lan Huapeng.
Originally, with Zhou Xiaojun's official rank and title, he didn't have to go out of the city to greet him in person, but considering that the relationship between the Zhou and Qin families was good, and Qin Qiong was sent by the empire to reinforce him, Zhou Xiaojun also gave enough face and led the captain of the personal guard and the head of the five masters under his command to greet each other outside the city gate.
As for the Fengyun division under the command of Zhou Yunfeng, although it was controlled by Zhou Xiaojun, it was an independent division after all, so Zhou Yunfeng's autonomy was much larger than that of Long Qingshan's divisions.
Zhou Yunfeng's impression of the Qin family was not bad, so Zhou Yunfeng was not lazy this time, and appeared with Zhou Xiaojun to greet him.
Zhou Xiaojun was followed by the six generals under his command, and Zhou Yunfeng was not easy to go alone, but if he brought all the commanders under his command, it seemed that there were too many.
Zhou Yunfeng thought about it for a while, and decided to take four people with him, these four people were Zhou Yunlong, Zhou Yunhu, Long Hao and Wei Tianquan.
"Feng'er, why don't you wear armor, don't tell me you don't have armor at the level of division commander!" Zhou Xiaojun looked at Zhou Yunfeng, who was dressed in a black robe, and frowned slightly.
Lan Huapeng's two division commanders were both killed in the battle more than 20 days ago, and he would not believe it if Zhou Yunfeng did not have the armor of the division commander level in his hands and killed Zhou Xiaojun.
"The armor is too heavy, and you can't walk on your body!" Zhou Yunfeng said confidently.
Zhou Yunfeng's words not only did not get everyone's understanding, but instead attracted a lot of blank eyes.
A strong man who can defeat the peak Martial Emperor will be dragged by clothes and armor and can't walk, who would believe this?
Moreover, the armor of the division commander level is a medium-grade spiritual weapon, and after recognizing the master, there is not much weight on the body at all, as if it is a piece of clothing worn on the body.
It's just that they also have to admire Zhou Yunfeng and admire him for being able to find such a lame reason.
saw that Zhou Yunfeng didn't like to wear armor, otherwise he wouldn't have found such a lame reason, so Zhou Xiaojun let him no longer ask.
In the interval between their words, 200,000 Praetorian Guards slowly appeared in their field of vision, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties at the forefront of the wildebeest king, with a cold face, like a knife-cut face, and a momentum that was not angry but mighty, at first glance, he was accustomed to seeing life and death.
"Uncle, is this person Qin Qiong?" Zhou Yunfeng asked in a low voice.
"That's right, he is Qin Qiong, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he is also the commander of the 200,000 Praetorian Guards this time!" Zhou Xiaojun nodded.
"It seems that it's not a fuel-efficient lamp!" Zhou Yunfeng sighed.
"Fuel-efficient lamps, who can do this position, who is not with blood on their hands, it is impossible to have good stubble!" Zhou Xiaojun said lightly.
"It's not the best to be good at stubble, so that when you fight the Cloud Empire, it will be more interesting!" Zhou Yunfeng said with a smile on his face.
Soon, Qin Qiong arrived at the city gate, facing Zhou Xiaojun, Qin Qiong didn't dare to hold it up, quickly jumped off the wildebeest, hugged his fist at Zhou Xiaojun and said: "Qin Qiong has seen Captain Zhou!"
"Ha Luha! Deputy Commander Qin, you don't have to be polite!" Zhou Xiaojun said with a smile.
"Zhou Yunfeng of the Fengyun Division has seen Deputy Commander Qin!" Zhou Yunfeng hugged Qin Qiong and said.
"I've seen Deputy Commander Qin!"
"I've seen Deputy Commander Qin!"
