Chapter 36: The Regular Meeting of the Twelve Spiritual Generals I
"Wow, wow, wow......"
Ye Hengyuan trotted all the way to the roof. He walked briskly forward, to the center of the roof.
"Master, I'm here. ”
With his hands behind his back, Qiu Bai looked down at the huge flower bed in front of the dormitory. The royal blue cloak was still tied behind his back, fluttering in the wind.
"Master," Ye Hengyuan took a few more steps forward and stood behind Qiu Bai, "I have already passed the intermediate student assessment......
"I know. ”
Qiu Bai turned around, raised his arms, put his two big hands on Ye Hengyuan's shoulders, and patted them hard.
"You're doing a great job, Xiaoyuan. Dean Hou has already told me. ”
"Uh...... Master ......" Ye Hengyuan was a little embarrassed, "Actually...... I think I could have played a little bit better......"
"Okay," Qiu Bai patted Ye Hengyuan's right shoulder heavily, "You have already given me a particularly big surprise." When you and Aunt Bai practiced the combination technique for the first time, it took four times to succeed. I can see that you and Leng Han have put their hearts into it. When we weren't there, we could still practice hard every day. Best of all, you're not bothered by your lazy roommate at all. That's the best bit. ”
"Oh...... Puff...... Ye Hengyuan remembered the way Liu Wuyu lay on the bed on all fours and snored, and couldn't help laughing.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Qiu Bai glanced in the direction of the cafeteria, "You don't have to eat in the cafeteria today." I'll take you out for something delicious first, which is a reward for you. When I'm done eating, I'm going to take you to a meeting. ”
"Huh, meeting?" Ye Hengyuan took a step back in surprise, "What is it, Master?"
"It's a regular meeting between our twelve spirit generals," Qiu Bai said, "and it's usually held every three months or six months." The main content is to report to each other and discuss some big things. I told Dean Hou, seeing that you haven't had classes for the past two days, I'm going to take you to audit, and at the same time teach you some exclusive cultivation methods among the twelve spirit generals. ”
"Oh, that's it?" Ye Hengyuan nodded, "Is it that all the spirit generals will go?"
"No," Mr. Huber said, "a regular meeting would normally be six people. The 12 of us all have our own positions, and it's hard to get together on weekdays. Exactly who will attend the meeting is known only to the presiding officer of the meeting. Let's go. ”
"Hey, Master," Ye Hengyuan asked, "which spirit will be the presiding?"
Qiu Bai was about to get up, but suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked at Ye Hengyuan's eyes.
"Long Yao. Long Lin's father, the head of the Canglong faction, the current deputy commander of the Twelve Spirit Generals, and the commander of the Central Army of the Cangling Army. Let's go. ”
"Whoosh-" A blue light enveloped Ye Hengyuan's body and took him into the air. A few seconds later, the blue light turned into a point of light in the sky, and then disappeared.
This time, Qiu Bai didn't fly very fast, much slower than the last time he arrived from the ruins of Qingyan Town to Qingfeng Forest. Although Cangling City is the largest city in the entire Cangling Continent, if it flies at full speed at the speed of the Twelve Spirit Generals, it will only be a matter of time before it crosses the entire main city. Even if you count the surrounding satellite towns and villages, it only takes a few extra seconds. It's not so much that Qiu Bai is flying, it's more like walking slowly in the air with an invisible shield.
Ye Hengyuan operated the spiritual power in his body evenly, parallel to the protective shield released by Qiu Bai. The shield's resistance and traction were significantly weakened, forcing him to unleash more of his spiritual power to maintain his balance.
"How's it going, Xiaoyuan?" Qiu Bai asked, "can you get used to it?"
"No problem, Master," Ye Hengyuan replied loudly, "I can adapt." ”
"Very good," Qiu Bai sped up slightly, "It seems that you have achieved a lot of results with Leng Han." ”
Ye Hengyuan just smiled and didn't speak. He didn't just practice with Leng Han.
"I've discussed with Dean Hou, and when you start the intermediate course, I'll give you priority to flying lessons and stealth lessons. As long as you can learn these two courses well before you graduate, even if you don't consider the micro spirit core and other moves, you should be able to fight against Lei Xi alone. ”
"Huh, really?" Ye Hengyuan felt a little incredulous, "Master, Senior Sister Lei's strength has already reached the third order and seventh level...... Will I be able to reach the third and seventh levels by the time I graduate?"
"Don't be unconfident in yourself. The age range of eighteen to twenty-five years old is the fastest period of rapid growth in the life of most spirit masters. Excellent spiritual masters can often reach the third order and above before the age of twenty-five. For the disciples of the spirit general, it is not a problem. About half of Lei Xi's high-speed growth period has passed, and you have only just begun. Moreover, flying and stealth are the two natal skills of the wind attribute spirit master. Wind Attribute Spirit Masters have an innate advantage when learning these two types of skills. Only wind attribute spirit masters can take these two skills as a compulsory course. Originally, the stealth class was only learned by advanced students, but with your talent, you can start learning it now. Your strengths are attack power and speed, and you'll naturally need both of these skills more than anyone else. Even if you have difficulties in your cultivation, I can give you another guidance. ”
"Okay, Master," Ye Hengyuan nodded, "I understand." I will definitely learn these two courses well. ”
"Well," Qiu Bai said, "Xiaoyuan, you must remember, don't be impatient, and don't push yourself too hard. Generally speaking, the difficulty of a spirit master's cultivation increases with the improvement of cultivation, and even doubles. Basically, the second and third orders are one level, the fourth and fifth orders are one level, the sixth order is a level, the seventh order level one to the seventh order four levels is one level, and the seventh order four to the seventh order and the eighth level are another level. And when it comes to the eighth order, the basic level is a level. With each level, the difficulty of leveling up is at least doubled, and possibly even more. You will soon be able to break through the seventh level of the second order very quickly, and in two months at most, you will be able to touch the threshold of the third order. At this stage, the difficulty of cultivation is still gradually rising, and you can pursue the cultivation speed appropriately, but you must not rush forward. ”
"I understand, Master," Ye Hengyuan said, "Director Jin and several other instructors have told me that my current cultivation speed is fast enough. ”
The sky slowly darkened. Quite a few houses below are already starting to light up. A market area not far away is already brightly lit, and the lights and fires are brighter than the setting sun.
"Let's go there," Qiu Bai pointed to the market area, "there is the best snack street in the entire Cangling City, and it contains all the snacks in the entire central and northern Cangling Kingdom. ”
"Master, who is the commander of the Twelve Spirit Generals now?" Ye Hengyuan asked.
Qiu Bai suddenly stopped, controlled the protective shield, and took him and Ye Hengyuan to levitate in the air.
"It's the Void Spirit, Wu Hai. He is an old man, in his eighties, his strength is unfathomable, and it is said that he has reached the eighth order. As for how high his real strength is, I don't know. When I was your age, he was already an ethereal general. Ever since he became the Commander-in-Chief, he has been guarding the Mother Core and rarely shows up. ”
"Wow, it's the eighth order, it's so powerful?" Ye Hengyuan opened his mouth wide, "You don't know him?"
Qiu Bai turned his head, looked at Ye Hengyuan's eyes full of curiosity, and nodded.
"Yes. I barely see him, and the last time we saw him was five or six years ago. At present, the daily work of the twelve spirit generals is basically presided over by Long Yao. I still know Long Yao's strength. If I go head-to-head with him, even if I use the power of the spirit core, he doesn't use it, and I'm no match for him. He can now be said to have reached the point where he replaced everything with attacks. ”
Ye Hengyuan was completely stupid, his eyes widened, his mouth open, and he couldn't say a word.
Qiu Bai smiled and teleported in front of Ye Hengyuan, opened his hand, and patted him on the forehead and back.
"Don't be so surprised, silly boy. You'll understand in the future. Let's go. ”
In just an instant, the master and apprentice had already appeared in the flow of people in the snack street in the middle of the market area. All kinds of people come and go on the green brick road, and countless different smells waft from all directions. This snack street is completely pedestrian, and no mounts or vehicles are allowed to enter. In the middle is for people to walk, and on both sides are various shops and stalls. From cylindrical ovens as tall as grown men to huge soup pots as large as small pools, colorful fruit skewers and oddly shaped candy men, and so on. Standing at one end of the street and looking across the street, you can see at least 100 different stalls.
"Wow!" Ye Hengyuan stretched his neck, raised his head, and sniffed hard, "It's so fragrant!"
"How's that?" Qiu Bai pointed ahead, "Let's go inside." If you want to eat, just tell me. ”
Ye Hengyuan followed Qiu Bai inside. One by one, the lights gradually turned on, and the number of people on the street increased. Ye Hengyuan found that most of the people on this street were dressed as civilians, mainly small businessmen and workers, there were few rich people dressed luxuriously, and the number of spirit masters was even smaller.
He stopped in front of a stall selling barbecue. This barbecue stand also has a stove, which is about the same height as him. But this stove is a cuboid, and it is double-layered. He sensed that there seemed to be a faint fluctuation of spiritual power in the upper layer of this furnace, but there was no temperature, and only the lower layer had a burning charcoal fire.
Behind the stove, stood a middle-aged man about 1.7 meters tall. He wore a smoky hat blackened and a dirty apron tied around him, and was fiddling with something behind the stove, muttering something he didn't understand. On the stall next to the stove, there are baskets of vegetables and spices in bottles and jars. Next to the basket of vegetables is a cutting board with knives stuck in it, as well as several skewers of meat. Strangely, the skewers were not cut into small pieces, but large whole pieces - like the uncut ones, and the whole thing was washed and skewered straight on
