"Little Hou Ye, how is the situation? Is she flattered?" Seeing Long Rui walking into the backyard, Zhu Xiaoqi stuffed the drawings in his hand to Leng Yunfei and walked over with a smile.

"Flattered, you think too beautiful!" Long Rui's face was frosty, "A group of people's spittle stars are about to drown Lao Tzu!"

"What's the situation?" said Zhu Xiaoqi looking at him in surprise.

"When I went over in the morning, the Emgrand Hotel where she was staying had already been surrounded by gift-givers. Everyone else is sending rare treasures and 10,000-year-old spirit stone ornaments, you might as well let Lao Tzu send a letter......

"It's a love letter. Zhu Xiaoqi corrected weakly.

"Sister Love...... If it's a love letter, why don't you write a few touching words? A few bird symbols drawn on a blank piece of paper can also be called a love letter? It caused Lao Tzu to be almost thrown out on the spot. Long Rui rolled his eyes. After arriving in Blackwater City, he realized that he was also a vulgar person in his bones.

"You're the little marquis, aren't you?" Zhu Xiaoqi said in surprise. A Hou Ye, even if he doesn't have too much power, isn't it appropriate to want to be a star?

"You're big...... Among the people queuing up to give him gifts, people like me grabbed a lot of them!Do you know that Lao Tzu met the princes of the two big countries in the Eastern Continent in the last bathroom?" Long Rui said with a painful face.

Zhu Xiaoqi was shocked when he heard this.

Grab a handful? What amazing charm does this Menggeli have, that can make the nobles of the Eastern and Western Continents so crazy for her? Beauty can overwhelm the country and the city, but this Menggeli directly dumps the Eastern and Western Continents!

"How beautiful is this woman?" he asked curiously.

"I can't answer that question! I'm afraid no one can answer you. Long Rui smiled bitterly.

"Why?"

"As soon as the song is sung, the men of the world return to their hearts. Half a light veil fell, and there was no more fragrance in the world. Have you ever heard of that?"

Zhu Xiaoqi shook his head.

This is what men in the aristocratic circle of the mainland say about her. Long Rui explained, "It is said that there is a magic in her singing that can intoxicate people's souls, and when she takes off half of the veil after singing, men see the most perfect goddess face in their hearts, while women see the most beautiful shadow of themselves." ”

"Is it so evil?" Zhu Xiaoqi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Yes. Long Rui nodded, "Normally, no one can see her, and no one knows what she looks like. ”

"So, you haven't seen her this time?"

Long Rui nodded: "No." She arranged for two maids to be in the hall to help her receive the gifts, and I had to give them the letter and get out of here, as the givers did. ”

"Isn't she afraid of offending people when she drags it like this?" Zhu Xiaoqi suddenly thought of a question. A little marquis who doesn't have much power in his hands, Meng Geli can be offended, but those powerful people in big countries, does she dare to offend? You know, your circle is very chaotic, and for some powerful people, female stars are just delicate toys and anti-aging supplements. They put them on the glorious stage and made them goddesses of love, usually just to get more pleasure while enjoying them in bed.

"You don't have to worry about your lover's safety at all. Long Rui sneered, "By her side, there are two or three paladins as bodyguards at any time. ”

"Damn!" Zhu Xiaoqi's heart trembled.

Paladin ...... That's the core combat power of the Divine Court, how could it be mixed up with this woman? Bu Changfeng, what the hell are you trying to kill me?

"I'm done. As for whether she sees you or not, it depends on your luck!" Long Rui got up and left in a dashing manner.

Zhu Xiaoqi wanted to call him and ask him to try to get his letter back.

However, before the words could be spoken, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and another possibility suddenly came to mind......

At dusk, Zhu Xiaoqi walked into the underground hall of the Li family.

Climbing down the stairs and standing in the spacious and bright hall, his heart stirred. Upon learning that he needed a secret place to train a small army, Li Xiaowan brought him into this hall and told him many things.

This hall has a special meaning for the Li family, it represents an incomparably glorious history. In the past 300 years, groups of hot-blooded sons and daughters have walked here, and after experiencing the cruel tempering of purgatory, they have gone from here to the bloody battlefield. They wantonly squandered their youth, enthusiasm and loyalty, created the glory of a hundred years of Jiangmen, and also achieved the legend of a heroic army. They are the Iron Guard, an elite soldier who once terrified all the enemies of the continent!

It's a pity that twenty years ago, with the defeat of Li Mubai Feilong, this army also turned into a wave in the long river of history.

Maybe it was accident, maybe it was fate, Zhu Xiaoqi came here as the young master of the Li family. Where the Iron Guard was born, he will set out to build an elite army of his own, creating a new army.

He clearly knew what he wanted, and he also understood Li Xiaowan's wordless expectations. Success or failure depends on tonight!

Ma Hanwen and Leng Yunfei quickly ran over. In the afternoon, all the materials needed for the Scattering Array were ready, and the two of them led the soldiers to set up on the training ground in the center of the hall.

"The magic circle is ready, you can start on time!" Ma Hanwen, who was covered in sweat, was overflowing with excitement. On his face, there was no gloom on his face when he came back in the afternoon, and his eyes were bright and confident.

"Pony, this is a life-threatening job, don't make any mistakes!" Zhu Xiaoqi reminded as he nodded.

"Are you doubting my professionalism, or do you not believe in my ability to control the magic circle?" asked Ma Hanwen with a frown.

"Neither. I'm just worried about my life. Zhu Xiaoqi smiled bitterly. As the center of the circle, thinking about what was about to happen, he still felt a little hairy in his heart.

"Don't worry. This magic circle has been improved by me, and the survival rate of the sacrifices has greatly increased!" Ma Hanwen said proudly.

Sacrifice?Survival rate?Why does it sound so ugly? Zhu Xiaoqi couldn't help but touch his nose.

"Improvement is improvement, but a new problem has also emerged......" Leng Yunfei's expression was a little embarrassed.

"What's the problem?" asked Zhu Xiaoqi nervously.

"The cost of activating the circle has increased. ”

"How much?"

"It used to take 200,000 gold coins at a time, but now it has become a million. ”

Ma Hanwen made slight adjustments to the magic circle, and Zhu Xiaoqi knew it. But he didn't expect that with a few strokes from the pony, 200,000 would become 1 million. The cost has increased fivefold!

“...... Xiaoma, you are a professional money-burner, right? Can this cost be reduced?" Zhu Xiaoqi looked at Ma Hanwen with a painful face.

"Yes, but it will reduce the survival rate of the sacrifice. If you're willing, I'll make adjustments right away, and I won't miss a mistake. Ma Hanwen nodded.

The look in Xiaoma's eyes that the sacrifice was over made Zhu Xiaoqi's heart chill.

"Well, let's leave it at that. ”

Under the leadership of Ma Hanwen and Leng Yunfei, Zhu Xiaoqi soon saw the long-awaited Soul Relief Array.

In the center of the training ground, there was a circular altar composed of countless ancient spell patterns, and the altar was inlaid with 10,000-year-old spirit stones of different sizes and shapes. The patterns are all painted blood-colored, exuding a faint hideous light, revealing a strange and cold atmosphere.

Around the altar, thirty golden lines stretched outward in a radial pattern. At the end of the line, there are small circles in the shape of six-pointed stars.

"After the Soul Solving Circle is activated, the spiritual power in your body will pass through these spiritual tracks into the receiving circle, and then enter the soldiers' bodies. When the spiritual power in the soldier's body reaches the upper limit, the magic circle will flash red. At this time, I will manipulate the magic circle to stop the input of spiritual power, and Brother Leng will remove the soldiers from the magic circle, and then use the magic needle to help them complete the absorption. According to the number of spiritual measurements, the spiritual power contained in your body can meet the spiritual power needs of thirty soldiers at the same time in the first two times. As their strength increases, it may not be enough later. Ma Hanwen said.

"I should have a way to solve this problem. Zhu Xiaoqi whispered.

"The physique of the soldiers, I have strengthened it in the early stage with the combination of medicine and acupuncture, and they have barely reached the level of a sword master. However, most of them have unsatisfactory cultivation talents, and their future achievements can only reach the level of Martial Venerable at most. Leng Yunfei answered.

"Enough. Zhu Xiaoqi smiled. He was already satisfied with being able to turn an ordinary soldier into a martial honorable-level powerhouse. And a small army of thirty martial honorables is an extremely terrifying force wherever it is placed. The black hand composed of this force may not be as strong as Meng Yi's eight hundred warriors, but it is enough to use it for Yin people.

"If it is against the Divine Court, I am afraid that such a power is still too far behind. Leng Yunfei sighed lightly in his heart.

"By the way, if it's a qiē shun lì, how long will it take for them to reach the realm of martial arts?" asked Zhu Xiaoqi.

"Theoretically, it would take about a week from the activation of the magic circle to the time when the soldiers fully attracted spiritual power into the spiritual veins. From a sword master to a martial artist, it takes fifty times to dissolve the spirit circle. From Martial Master to Martial Venerable, it takes a hundred times. In other words, it will take about three years. Leng Yunfei replied.

"Three years, too long, right?" Zhu Xiaoqi frowned.

"Do you think they are all the same perverts as you?" Leng Yunfei looked at him helplessly, "Do you know how long it takes for an ordinary cultivator to cultivate from a sword master to a martial artist?"

"How long?"

"Fifteen years!"

Shortened from fifteen years to three years, this Spirit Relief Array is really a formation against the sky! Zhu Xiaoqi sighed in his heart.

Time, for cultivators, is the real bottleneck. Any method that can shorten the cultivation time is an irresistible temptation for cultivators. If the Divine Court didn't put the Spirit Relief Array into a taboo, the crazy cultivators would definitely turn this continent into a slaughterhouse for the sake of sacrifice.

"In this process, if there is a break in the middle, will it have an impact?" asked Zhu Xiaoqi. He couldn't guarantee that he would be here on time for the next three years to deliver spiritual power to the soldiers.

"It won't have an impact. Leng Yunfei shook his head, "It's just that the improvement of their realm will be slower." ”

"That's good. Zhu Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, pony, why can't you use spirit stones instead of sacrifices?" he asked.

"Don't you understand such a simple truth?" Ma Hanwen looked at him in surprise.

"Damn, I understand that I still want to ask you?" Zhu Xiaoqi was slightly embarrassed.

"Then do you know the common sense that spirit stones cannot be directly absorbed by the human body?" asked Ma Hanwen.

"Of course. Zhu Xiaoqi nodded affirmatively.

"Then if I sue you, this common sense is wrong, do you believe it?" said Ma Hanwen with a smile.

A chill rose in Zhu Xiaoqi's heart.

"Did he know something? This is impossible!" He stared at Ma Hanwen deadly, and for a moment he even had the intention of killing people. On this continent, he is the only one who has the ability to devour spirit stones, which is his biggest secret. If this secret is revealed, he will face a catastrophe.

Leng Yunfei was also stunned. He didn't understand how a sentence that had been taken as truth since he was a child could suddenly become wrong.

Ma Hanwen was very satisfied with the reaction of the two. He continued to taunt: "Don't be surprised, this common sense is indeed wrong. It is not that the human body cannot absorb the spiritual power contained in the spirit stone, but because the spiritual power attracted by the human body is too small. Think about it, when you want to drink water, is there a difference between a glass of water and a rushing river?"

Zhu Xiaoqi's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

"You mean, the speed at which the spirit stone releases spiritual power is too fast for people to attract at all?" he immediately asked.

"Hmm. The spiritual power that filled the heavens and the earth was quite abundant even for cultivators of the Holy Rank. No matter how much spiritual power the spirit stone releases, the cultivator can only absorb a very small part of the spiritual power that can be easily obtained in the heaven and earth, so people usually think that the spiritual power in the spirit stone cannot be directly absorbed by the cultivator. Ma Hanwen said proudly.

"Damn, this circle is so good that I want to kill people...... Zhu Xiaoqi was speechless.

"To say it is to say nothing. You're a kid who is all about selling expertise. Leng Yunfei sighed.

"Allowing cultivators to directly obtain the spiritual power in the spirit stone is the most brilliant pearl in the crown of the continent's magic research. One day, I will overcome this difficulty. Ma Hanwen said.

"You work slowly. Leng Yunfei smiled bitterly.

"Lao Tzu has already overcome this problem. Zhu Xiaoqi smiled secretly in his heart.
