Night.

In the city of Pyongyang, the lights were bright, and a group of Japanese generals such as Konishi Yukinaga were kneeling in the castle tower and feasting. While looking at the camp where the Ming army was stationed in the distance, while enjoying the singing and dancing of the Korean dancers in the city tower, the wine and meat were spread all over the table, and from time to time, the impatient Japanese generals dragged the Korean maids out of the banquet, and they were drunk and noisy in public.

In today's daytime battle, the Ming army is fighting a nest, and the Japanese army also feels nested. If it weren't for the fact that Archmage Najiawei had disappeared and no one was in charge of the formation, maybe he would have been able to reproduce the results of the Ming army today, and what he drank now would be a celebration wine.

Just when Governor Konishi and others were gnawing on beef and mutton, a phantom suddenly flashed, and a middle-aged man in white suddenly appeared in front of everyone, leaning against the gate of the city tower, staring at the Ming army camp outside the city.

The generals of the Japanese army were taken aback, but Governor Konishi reacted immediately and complimented loudly: "It turned out that Grand Master Jiawei was here, and the end will be far away." ”

Wan Fayi glanced at Governor Konishi lightly, and stood on the city tower again looking at the Ming army camp in the distance, he knew that Pei Lingyun should also return to the Ming army camp at this time.

Seeing that Archmage Jiawei didn't pay attention to him, Governor Konishi didn't get angry, so he stepped forward with a pot of wine and said: "Archmage Jiawei, in today's battle, you can harm our army, if you follow the previous plan, I am afraid that today I will be able to catch off guard and kill the Ming army on their backs, so that the archmage will have a bunch of fresh flesh and blood to feed your spirit worm spirit beast." ”

Wan Fayi sneered when he heard this: "There's no need to be so troublesome, you can use your flesh and blood." ”

Hearing this, Governor Konishi was shocked, remembering the samurai who had turned into minced meat before, he hurriedly dissipated his wine, and said with a little humility: "The archmage said that he laughed, the samurai under my command are only the archmage." ”

"I only know that two of my disciples died today, they are all spiritual root owners, and one life is on top of you samurai hundreds of lives!" Wan Fa said a word, and with a wave of his hand, the figure disappeared, leaving only Konishi Yukicho with a shy face.

In a moment, Governor Konishi smashed the wine jug in his hand, and the frolicking of many Japanese generals in the city tower stopped abruptly, and their eyes were focused on Governor Konishi's short and fat body.

Governor Konishi's gaze shifted from the campfire outside the city to the murderous generals of the Japanese army inside the castle tower, and Governor Konishi said word by word: "The whole army attacked the camp of the Ming army at night, and I don't believe that my Yamato samurai would not be able to fight without Jiawei and these aliens!"

The generals roared and promised.

A large mansion in the southeast of Pyongyang City, unlike ordinary North Korean houses with thatched roofs, is actually made of blue bricks and black tiles, and there are dozens of houses, and it is obvious that the original owner was a rich and noble family. At this time, in a Buddhist hall in the middle of the house, the man in colorful clothes who was with Konishi Yukicho knelt on a futon, staring at the two corpses in front of him, and a girl about twelve or thirteen years old between the two corpses.

These two corpses were the two young men in colorful clothes who were killed by the Ming army during the day, and after the truce, they were moved into the city by the Japanese army and handed over to the men in colorful clothes.

The man in colorful clothes is named Shibata Sen, twenty-one years old, originally a domestic slave of a daimyo on Shikoku Island, and met Wan Fa Yi who traveled in Japan, and found that he has a spiritual root, although it is only a three-attribute spiritual root, but because he has been a slave for many years, it is easy to drive, plus he is the first spiritual root owner that Wan Fa Yi met in Japan, and he was accepted as a big disciple, and he has been responsible for taking care of miscellaneous affairs in recent years, and his cultivation is the lowest among the thirteen personal disciples of Wan Fa, but he can perceive the aura of heaven and earth, and has a sense of qi, that is, the first layer of the Qi training period.

And at this time, in front of him, the girl in clogs, plain white kimono, long hair and a shawl for a hairpin, was sitting cross-legged between the two corpses.

Holding a small black porcelain vase in his hand, he held out a magic decision in his right hand, and a little fluorescence emanated from the two corpses, circling into the mouth of the bottle.

After a long while, the girl accepted the magic formula, sighed and said to herself: "These two have been dead for more than three hours, and most of their soul power has dissipated, and this little soul power is not enough for me to cultivate for three days." ”

The girl's cheeks are snow-white, faintly sweat stains, red lips and white teeth, eyebrows and eyes are surprisingly handsome, although it is cardamom years, but it can be seen that it is a beauty embryo that is unique in a hundred miles, not only unique in the country, but also rare in China.

The girl accepted the black bottle, looked at the two corpses beside her coldly, and ordered the man in white: "You can drag the corpse away, the wooden spider raised by the master has not eaten for a long time, just drag it into the beast pen and feed it, after all, it is also the owner of the spiritual root, and there is still a little spiritual energy in the body, I think the wooden spider will not be picky anymore." ”

Shibata Mori smiled faintly, although he was the eldest disciple of Wan Fayi, he didn't dare to offend the girl in front of him, because she was the owner of the Heavenly Spirit Root with the best qualifications and the highest cultivation among the thirteen personal disciples, Sakurai Chiba, the adopted daughter of the former lord of Kyushu Island. His father was the general of the Daimyo Otomo Sorin, a daimyo in the Warring States period of Japan, and became a lord after taking refuge in Oda Nobunaga, and sent troops to follow Oda Nobunaga to invade Korea, and his adopted daughter Sakurai Chiba was presented to Oda Nobunaga when she was twelve years old, but because of the excellent qualifications of the heavenly spirit root, Wan Fayi was forced to come as a disciple from Oda Nobunaga, and in less than a year, he cultivated to reach the fourth layer of the Qi training period, and was taught the art of exorcism and ghostism, using the soul of the dead as a cultivation introduction to break through the bottleneck, just now she was collecting the soul fragments of the two dead disciples。

Shibata Mori dragged the two corpses into a vacant space in the backyard of the house, and there was a stone slab one zhang square in the clearing, and there was a cloud of black gas lingering on the stone slab, and the crude formation was carved in the remote, which was the beast circle that temporarily restricted the spirit beasts. Shibata Mori threw the corpse into the animal pen, and a dozen fist-sized blue-black spiders crawled out of the black gas and began to climb up and down the corpse, looking for a place to put their mouths.

"Peek at what? Come out!" Shibata Mori snorted, glancing at the southwest corner of the clearing.

I saw two boys about ten years old, walking out of the shadow of a large water tank in the southwest corner with some fear, and muttered in a trembling whisper: "Senior brother, do you feed these monsters with the blood and flesh of your disciples?"

These two ten-year-old boys are a pair of twins, the sons of fishermen, named Kamashima Jiro and Kamashima Saburo respectively, who have been accepted as personal disciples by Wanfa for only two months, but because the spiritual root attributes are all thunder attribute mutated spiritual roots, they now also have a sense of qi and have completed the first layer of the qi training period. But because of his young age and the fact that he is the son of a fisherman, he is still a little timid in the face of Shibata Mori.

Shibata Mori was not embarrassed by the second child, because he knew that their future achievements would inevitably surpass him, so he smiled and said: "A disciple is a disciple, and his life is not comparable to that of our own disciples, you don't have to be afraid, feeding the wood spider with their flesh and blood can be regarded as a worthy death." ”

At this moment, a bright light flashed in the air, and in an instant, a middle-aged man in white appeared in the clearing.

Shibata Mori and Kashima Ertong immediately bowed respectfully, and asked Archmage Jiawei with a humble face.

Wan Fayi was suspended in the air one zhang high, and at his feet was a scimitar that emitted a pale blue light, which was his natal weapon, the Splitting Lance.

At this time, he glanced coldly at the wooden spiders that were eating away at the corpses of his disciples, and when he slapped the spirit beast bag, the wood spiders flew into the spirit beast bag one after another. But only one was left in the clearing.

Wan Fayi turned his gaze to Shibata Sen, his gaze was fixed, Shibata Sen's forehead was in severe pain, and his eyes flashed with blood, and he fell to the ground in shock and shouted: "Grand Master Jiawei spared his life, it was Sakurai Chiba who asked the disciple to feed the wood spider with the blood and flesh of the disciple, and the disciple did not make his own opinion..."

"What's crying!" Wan Fayi scolded slightly: "Just take a drop of your essence blood!"

I saw a drop of bright red blood floating in the palm of Wan Fayi's right palm, which was the essence blood that had just been taken out of Shibata Sen's skull. Shibata Mori no longer shouted, but was stunned and didn't know what this Jiawei Archmage wanted him to do with his essence blood.

Wan Fayi no longer paid attention to Shibata Sen, but stretched out his other hand to grab the wooden spider crawling on the ground in the air, and the essence blood drilled into the body of the wood spider, and the blue-black spider body flashed red, and then he no longer struggled, but flew out of the hand of the law and went straight to Shibata Sen.

Shibata Mori was shocked and wanted to dodge, but the wood spider seemed to have spirituality, and walked around Shibata Mori, and then meekly lay on his arm, staring at Shibata Sen's face with black eyes, that is, at this moment, Shibata Mori actually had a heart-to-heart connection with this wood spider, and had an unprecedented sense of intimacy.

Shibata Mori understood, Wan Fayi actually gave him a wooden spider, a burst of ecstasy welled up from the bottom of his heart, he lay on the ground and thanked him a thousand times, after all, with his qualifications, it is extremely difficult to cultivate and increase further, but with this wooden spider, his strength has become the first among the thirteen personal disciples, a veritable senior brother.

Sakurai Chiba heard the sound, walked out of the Buddhist hall, and just saw Wanfa Yi give Shibata Mori a wood spider, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up, she quietly walked to the side of Wanfa, and made a woman's etiquette with the etiquette of the cultivation realm of Wanfa Yijiao, and called out to Archmage Jiawei.

Wan Fayi no longer bothered with Shibata Mori, but closed his eyes and controlled the expansion of his divine consciousness to the entire city of Pyongyang, sending a letter to the disciples and disciples who were scattered in various parts of the city and cultivating alone, asking them to gather quickly.

After a stick of incense, the boys and girls in colorful clothes under the city all came to the house, and thirteen disciples of the lineage, including Shibata Mori, stood around Wan Fayi.

"Originally, I planned that the two armies would fight so that you could harvest the souls of some mortal soldiers to improve your realm, but now the situation has changed, there are also cultivators in the Ming army, and they are also foundation building period monks, and the formation you cast is not vulnerable to the foundation building period monks at all, so don't die in vain. Last night, the teacher had reached an agreement with the monk, so don't worry about your lives, but there is no need to stay in Pyongyang City any longer. ”

Wan Fayi looked at the disciples and disciples coldly, Nan Sen said: "You haven't been in the cultivation realm, I don't know that it is extremely humiliating to be mixed with mortals as a monk, but this can't be blamed on you, after all, you haven't come into contact with any other cultivators except me, but now it's different, there are already other cultivators besides me, and now outside Pyongyang City, she will also gather disciples and disciples, you will soon be able to fight with other cultivators, and truly see the cruelty of the cultivation realm." ”

When those disciples and disciples of Wanfayi heard this, some did not think so, some suddenly realized, and some were confused and did not know what Wanfayi's words meant.

And Shibata Mori clenched his hands and shouted in his heart: I must enter the cultivation realm!

Sakurai Chiba's eyes were tactful, and he glanced at Shibata Mori who was excited, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he still didn't show the mountain dew.

"Who among the disciples still has no sense of qi and can't perceive the aura of heaven and earth?" Wan Fa asked in a loud voice.

The disciples looked at each other, but in the end, more than thirty disciples stood up in shame.

"Shibata Sen, these people are under your control, if Japan wins the Ming army, you will continue to stay in Pyongyang and collect the required spirit stone fragments, if Japan loses... Take them back to Japan, and give you this wood spider so that you have at least the ability to protect yourself, and if those mortals are dangerous to you, you can kill some people to establish your power. ”

When Shibata Mori heard this, he immediately understood that Grand Master Jiawei was disgusted with his poor qualifications, and planned to give him up, and the joy of getting the wood spider was instantly diluted a lot, but he didn't entangle, but took a deep breath and immediately took the order, and then respectfully stepped aside. He knew that the reason why his nominal senior brother was able to get the respect of Grand Master Jiawei was that in addition to his early apprenticeship, knowing the current affairs was a greater advantage.

"As for you..."Wan Fayi stared at the remaining seventy-two disciples in the circle, and said, "Just find a big ship with your own disciples and follow me across the sea and ocean to another piece of land..."

After the order, Wan Fayi sent all the disciples and disciples back to pack up their things, and he also collected the magic weapons, turned around and went back to his residence to pack up the things that needed to be taken away.

At this time, there was a noise outside the city, and from time to time there were cannons and firecrackers, and it turned out that the three thousand Japanese soldiers sent by Konishi Yukichang to attack at night were discovered by the Ming army, and they were blocked back as soon as they got out of the city gate, and dozens of corpses were hurriedly left behind and nothing was found.

Konishi Xingda felt a nest, and regardless of his face, he sent his subordinates to ask for help from Archmage Jiawei, thinking that he would wipe out the Ming army with the help of the formation.

But his men ran to Grand Master Jiawei's residence and hurried back, sending a message that Grand Master Jiawei was preparing to leave with his disciples and disciples.

Hearing this, Governor Konishi suddenly became angry, and immediately gathered more than a hundred warriors to prepare to negotiate with Grand Master Jiawei, but two hours later, when they arrived at the mansion where he was, Grand Master Jiawei was no longer there, only his eldest disciple and more than thirty disciples who did not even have a sense of qi were still in the courtyard.

"Where's Archmage Jiawei?" said Governor Konishi angrily at Shibata Mori.

"Archmage Jiawei has important matters to deal with and has already left the city. ”

At this moment, the guards at the south gate hurriedly came to report, and a strong wind suddenly rose at the south gate, blowing the city gate open, and the wind swept the ice and snow to the south. The sharp-eyed soldiers found that it was Grand Master Jiawei who led his disciples and disciples to break through the Ming army's defense line under the cover of wind and snow.

In a bit of a rage, Governor Konishi kicked the guard who was reporting the news. The samurai under his command looked at each other, and the bold generals whispered what to do next?

"What else can I do? Rectify the defense of Nancheng and prepare to fight the Ming army to the end!" Konishi Yukicho glared at Shibata Mori hatefully, and was about to turn around and leave.

At this time, Shibata Mori shouted loudly: "Archmage Jiawei asked my disciple and me to receive the offering, and please hand over all the jade fragments collected by the general to me in the future!"

Governor Konishi's figure froze, and his generals were already angrily raising their knives towards Shibata Mori and the others, preparing to teach these guys who had no one in their eyes a lesson.

But in an instant, several people were miserable and covered the door and wailed and collapsed to the ground and did not twitch, it turned out that Shibata Mori saw that they were going to be unfavorable to them, and immediately drove the wooden spider to attack their face door with lightning speed, the bite force of the wooden spider was amazing, and it instantly bit the door of several people, and it didn't take long for these generals to stop convulsing and die on the spot.

The Japanese soldiers were frightened and took a few steps back, while Governor Konishi looked back with a hideous face and said, "I will not break my promise to you, but it must be that this Pyongyang city can be kept." He glanced at several corpses on the ground and said, "I have written down this account." ”

After saying that, Governor Konishi left with the people, and he didn't even want the corpses on the ground.

Shibata Mori stroked the wooden spider that jumped back and muttered to himself: "It seems that the wooden spider can only deter them, and it can only be used for self-protection, and it can't really drive these mortals..."

He turned to look at the thirty or so fearful disciples behind him, and an unprecedented sense of superiority rose in his heart.

"Cultivation Realm, Cultivator... Grand Master Jiawei is not the only cultivator... There is also a cultivator in the Ming army camp outside the city..."Shibata Mori suddenly had an idea in his heart, and even he felt incredible in his boldness.

"Nothing is impossible, since Grand Master Jiawei has given up on me, why can't I worship another cultivator as a teacher?" Shibata Mori's heart This thought became stronger and stronger, and finally became a fixed plan.

Another hour later, on a hill outside Pyongyang, Wan Fa-il stood on a boulder looking east and was silent.

"Aren't we going back to Japan?" asked Sakurai Chiba as she walked over to Manfa's side and whispered.

"Let's cross the sea and go to the east side of the sea..."Wan Fayi said indifferently.

"But isn't Japan to the east of the sea?"

"I'm talking about the continent further east, not the small island where Japan is located, which is 30,000 miles away from here, and there are all you need to improve your cultivation... There are also things I need..."Wan Fayi stared at the orange morning glow to the east and muttered: "She doesn't know, there is also a spirit stone mine site, and this spirit stone mine site will be inspected by me first." ”

The sun has already begun to rise.

At the same time, in the Ming army camp outside the city, Pei Lingyun, who had already sorted out all the things he needed, quietly walked out of the big tent, staring at Li Shanxuan, who was sleeping in the tent, frowning slightly.

After all, this North Korean girl is only six years old, and she is still a young boy. Pei Lingyun is used to being alone, and she is still not very comfortable with a girl, but after fighting with the ten thousand laws last night, Pei Lingyun thought more in her heart, it should be like Wan Fayi, collect some spiritual root owners to cultivate into the Qi cultivation period for driving, this woman is a dual-attribute spiritual root, plus she is young, as long as she is given the cultivation method during the Qi training period, even if the spiritual energy here is thin, it can still be cultivated to the third or fourth level of the Qi training period within three years.

After all, last night, Wan Fayi also admitted frankly that there were some prohibitions on the spirit stone mine site here, and only allowed to enter the veins during the Qi cultivation period and mortals to take spirit stones. In this regard, Pei Lingyun did not suspect that Wan Fayi was lying, after all, the cultivation realm is like this, the spirit stone veins are all collected by mortals and low-level monks in the Qi training period, after all, the monks after the foundation building period are not willing to waste time on mining, and at the same time, the owners of the spirit stone veins in order to prevent the spirit stone veins from being plundered by the monks in the foundation building period and the Dan period, most of them have a large Dharma protection array, with the spirit stone veins as the source of spiritual power required for the operation of the formation, they can operate independently for tens of thousands of years, and if the monks in the foundation building period and the foundation building period and the Dan period do not have a pass token, they will not be able to break in at all, In addition to the top-grade spirit stones, which can also make their hearts move, like the middle and low-grade spirit stones, except for the arrangement of the formation must be used, there is no other much use, naturally they will not offend the Dharma Protector Array sent by the Xiuzhen Sect to destroy the spirit stone veins for the spirit stone.

The three-year contract has been decided, and the collection of spirit stones and treasure exploration requires Qi cultivation period monks to be driven. Pei Lingyun thought about it, in the past ten years, she has also met a lot of spiritual root owners, carefully considered, and immediately decided to get out of the mundane affairs, no longer mixed with these mortals, first spend a few months to get together those spiritual root owners who met before, and then find a place with more spiritual energy to guide them to cultivate, three years later, when she went to explore the treasure with Wanfa, she used it as a drive, and when she collected enough five-attribute spirit stones, she took them back to the cultivation realm, just like Wanfa said, sell these excellent spiritual root attributes to the Xiuzhen sect and the Xiuzhen family, no matter what, at least make up for the losses wasted here for decades。

Pei Lingyun had already made up his mind, and suddenly remembered the pawn who had a dual-attribute spiritual root but refused to step into the path of cultivation.

"Wu Lu, I can't help you this time, you have to take this road if you don't want to. Pei Lingyun's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, quite like a fox with bad intentions.
