Michito Aoki didn't want to fall into a sad mood, so he diverted the topic and said:
"This Gathering Spirit Fu Yuan Array, if it can continue to be refined, the effect of Gathering Spirits can be increased by one or two percent, in addition, I estimate that there should be room for improvement in the magic circle......
To cast the Frost Knife, the Iron of the Blade must first be placed in a cold place for several years to remove impurities.
Speaking of placing it in a place with abundant spiritual energy to refine impurities, Chen Xun thought to himself, there is no more suitable place than the Void Yuan Space, and asked Aoki Daoren: "How can the Gathering Spirit Fu Yuan Array be improved?"
"I heard that the Yunzhou Sect has a secret talisman that can be used to draw the spirit storage method for refining. If you can replace these six bronze seals with the Spirit Drawing Rune Seal, I guess the power of the magic circle can be even stronger. It's just that what I've learned in my life is limited in the end, and the hope of improving the Gathering Spirit Fuyuan Array can only be pinned on you......"
Chen Xun thought in his heart, even if the Spirit Gathering Fuyuan Array could not be improved, the achievements of the Aoki Dao people in the talisman refining instrument were not comparable to those sect craftsmen.
In the past year and a half, in addition to refining a set of Gathering Spirit Fuyuan Array with Aoki Daoren, in addition to learning the method of refining, the most important thing is to learn all the life and experience of Aoki Daoren in making talisman refiners.
In this way, he could not only improve the Gathering Spirit Fuyuan Array, but also refine other magic arrays and talismans.
The next day, Chen Xun and Zong Ya went to the Walled City of Tianma Lake to prepare some items needed for the long trip.
Although it is not as cold as the cold wave three years ago, this year's North Mountain of Python Ridge is also exceptionally cold after winter.
Wild Horse Creek is frozen, and the mountains near and far have long been covered with snow, and there are even small herds of beasts on the edge of the North Mountain.
However, after the formation of the scale of the Walled City of Tianma Lake, there were thousands of scattered cultivators pouring in, and small-scale beast herds appeared on the periphery of Tianma Lake, which called the scattered cultivators to kill them all, and they could not threaten the Black Mountain and the black python stockade further south.
Turning over the ridge of Canglong Ridge like a knife blade upside down, the east and west walled cities of Tianma Lake stand on both sides of the Yema River, the stone wall is high, there is an iron cable traversing between the two cities, and a thick plate is laid on it, forming a huge iron cable bridge for the passage of cars and horses.
The west city is the territory of the Ghost Xi tribe, and the east city is the territory of the nine clans.
Chen Xun naturally wouldn't go to Xicheng if he was fine, and the Xunxian Zhai run by Zhao Tu was also in Dongcheng.
The stone wall is more than 10 meters high, and the stone beam of the south city gate is engraved with the ancient seal of the word "North Mountain".
Chen Xun looked up at the two ancient seals and smiled slightly:
The ghost Xi department built a walled city in the west city, in the name of Tianma, and the nine clans built the east city without borrowing, and took the word "Beishan" alone, which has some intriguing meaning.
Chen Xun is a guest of the Nine Clans, but he accepted the employment of the Nine Clans, and he did not enter Beishan City once, and the Nine Clans' two Juyuan Dan per month were sent to Xunxian Zhai on time, and he was somewhat ashamed.
Two long streets crisscrossing the whole city, with cars and horses flowing endlessly, and along the streets are shops selling tea, salt, cloth and iron, as well as all kinds of mountain goods and river fresh.
The nine clans jointly recommended Zuo Chonggu to serve as the lord of Beishan City.
At this time, there were more than ten shops in Dongcheng that specialized in collecting and selling cultivation resources, such as Xunxian Zhai, all of which were built around the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, a majestic scaly horse galloped into the street.
The scale horse is very spiritual, galloping, and can still flexibly avoid other carriages, horses, and pedestrians, and saw Zuoqiu's body penetrate the battle armor that leaks a faint spiritual essence, turn over and jump down from the scale horse, and happily come over, hugging Chen Xun and Zong Ya's arms, and laughing:
"Haha, I heard that someone brought a green-skinned leopard into the city, so I guessed it was you. ”
When Ah Qing saw his acquaintance, he jumped with excitement, and when he pounced, he licked Zuoqiu's face.
Zuoqiu was so frightened that he hid and asked Chen Xun: "What kind of alien species is this leopard of yours, why don't you have the slightest majestic momentum?"
With the ordinary Xuan Leopard having a lifespan of three to five hundred years, Ah Qing, who was only in his early three years old at this time, was still a baby, Chen Xun laughed and watched Ah Qing fluttering everywhere in the city, and said to Zuoqiu:
"During these days, I have been practicing with Aoki's seniors, and I have forgotten to take a trip to Kitayama. ”
"Is my uncle in good health?" Zuoqiu asked with concern, "Uncle won't allow me to wait to visit, and I don't know how his old man is doing?"
"Senior Aoki will be in retreat after a while, so you should probably go and meet him. Chen Xun said.
"Ah......" Zuoqiu heard Chen Xun say this, and also knew that his uncle was going to sit on the death pass this time, and if he couldn't break through, he would sit down and return to the mountains.
Zuoqiu stood on the street, and his heart was full of melancholy for a while, and after a while, he still said with emotion, "My uncle persuaded the clansmen to ask my uncle to return to Zuojiao, but my uncle has no such intentions." ”
Chen Xun was inconvenient to comment on the internal affairs of the Left Thorn Clan, but he also knew that Zuo Chonggu was determined to expand, so he thought of inviting the Aoki Daoren who had been expelled from the clan thirty years ago back.
And the Aoki Taoist has no intention of mundane affairs, but even if he does not return to the left thorn department, his mind is always concerned about the clansmen.
It is said that cultivation is necessary but mundane, but who can do it lightly?
Putting aside this heavy topic, Chen Xun said:
"Zhao Tu is in the city, and he is usually taken care of, I should have come over early to thank him;
"What are you doing with these polite words, you are naturally cultivating now?" Zuo Qiu said with a smile, "You came out of the customs this time, just in time, Qianlan and Master Lingyin are visiting the city at this time......
Hearing that Su Lingyin and Qianlan were also in the city, Chen Xun was slightly stunned, thinking that although the Nine Clans had been having dirty things with the Ghost Xi Department in the past two years, they were not happy on the surface, and they hadn't heard of anything special recently.
The matter involved Su Lingyin, and it was inconvenient for Chen Xun to inquire with Zuoqiu.
"That's great, I haven't seen Qianlan for almost three years," thinking of the stubborn little girl back then, Chen Xun's heart was also warm, and he asked, "Is Jianfeng in the city?"
"Jian Feng just took a group of people out of the city the day before yesterday, and he should be back in two days, he kept telling me that he wanted to go to the black python to see you, but he was afraid of disturbing your cultivation......"
In addition to hiring Keqing, the Nine Clans also sent brute forces to form a city patrol camp as a standing force, at this time there were more than 120 elite barbarians above the middle level, and there were also six people from the black python who entered the city patrol camp and waited for dispatch.
Cultivation is only part of the strength.
Zuoqiu stepped down the scale horse, the battle armor on his body, and the Xuan soldiers on his waist, it can be said that they are all first-class equipment in the True Yang Realm, even if the cultivation is only improved to the eighth layer of the marrow washing, the combat power is more than several times stronger than before.
More than one hundred and twenty elite brutes, armor and mounts are fully equipped, and for the moment, they can still compete with the forces of the Ghost Xi Department on the west bank.
Zuo Chonggu was half a step away from returning to the fetal realm many years ago, and last winter he was given an elixir by Su Lingyin, and finally entered the rebirth realm, and he is currently the first person in the nine clans.
From this point of view, Su Lingyin is much more authentic than the rest of the Su family, and he did not accept the thousands of spirit pills offered by the nine clans every year in vain, without giving a little return.
Su Lingyin's giving of elixir, and more importantly, the gesture was also a key reason why the Nine Clans were able to resist the Ghost Xi Sect and restrain other scattered cultivators.
Zuo Chonggu, as the lord of Beishan City, also personally controlled the city patrol camp.
Zuo Qiu, Gu Chen, Gu Jianfeng and others all held important positions in the City Lord's Mansion and the City Patrol Camp.
In the past two years, Zuo Chonggu has mobilized a large number of people to build Beishan Castle, and at the same time recruited the diaspora and encouraged all ethnic groups to move their population to live in Dongcheng.
At present, in addition to the extremely mobile scattered cultivation and business travel, there are more than 20,000 barbarian tribes living in the city, which is comparable to a small town.
The barbarian people have a characteristic, that is, like the birds, beasts, plants and trees on the wasteland, they have extremely strong fertility.
Although the tribes of the northern mountains of Python Tooth Ridge have lost nearly half of their population in the three-year cold wave beast attack, only two or three years have passed, and the village is full of dolls rolling in muddy water.
It won't even take ten years for the lost population in Beishan to make up for it.
This also provides vitality for Kitayama Castle.
A large number of people moved in, and the main products of the nine tribes were gathered, and Beishan City quickly overwhelmed the Tianma City controlled by the Ghost Xi Department in terms of population and trade scale.
In the past two years, in addition to the heavenly treasures and pills that Su Lingyin and Su Qingfeng enshrined in almost five or six thousand runes, the income obtained by Beishan City was also used in the construction of the city and the construction of the city patrol camp.
For the other eight tribes, it is also quite worthwhile.
In the past year, a large number of products have been distributed through Guò Xunxianzhai, and the benefits obtained are far from the past.
The once-in-a-decade cold wave is the biggest threat to the survival of the Beishan tribes, and perhaps the construction of Beishan City will change.
