In the middle of winter, a thin layer of snow has accumulated on the peaks of the dialect, and the bitter north wind is howling on the mountain, which is bitterly cold, and even the monks do not want to go out, so they hide at home. At this time, there are still a few people on this mountain, who are tirelessly busy, and they are seen walking around the mountain from time to time.

Since the Lin family took the two of them up the mountain, these two peaks have not stopped, either building houses and roads, leveling the spiritual fields and planting spiritual trees, and occasionally dialects come out to adjust the formation. Although there have been some minor disturbances, no one cares about the dialect here anymore, no matter how he tosses, and no other monks come out to ask, so that he can act more boldly here.

Some things are also out of helplessness, and now while the surrounding residents are avoiding him, he hurriedly adjusts and replaces. It turned out that after the Vajra Demon Destroying Array was laid down, the several formations used for defense before were a bit chicken, and the spirit stones consumed by the several formations together were also expensive, and it was difficult to bear such a dialect for a long time.

Therefore, he replaced the rest of the formations, but retained the Feng Shui Transformation Formation and the Five Elements Huanhua Array, the main role of these two formations is not for protection, but to gather scattered aura. Moreover, the opening of the Feng Shui Transformation Array does not need spirit stones, which is the most satisfying for the dialect, after the opening of the Vajra Demon Destroying Array, the spirit stones have become a problem that he needs to pay serious attention to.

These days, Fang Yan has put away all the redundant formations, adjusted these three formations, and the rest of the time is alchemy. Speaking of alchemy, Fang Yan is still satisfied with his performance in the past few days, the Cheng Dan rate of Qi Cultivation Pill has risen steadily, it has reached more than three percent, and the probability of the appearance of Zhongpin Dan has also greatly increased, and over time, Fang Yan is confident that the Cheng Dan rate can reach more than forty percent, and then he is ready to start refining Huang Ya Dan.

And Li Fang's work was basically completed, nearly 100 acres of spiritual fields were all planted with golden lily fruit trees and white fruit saplings, and more than 100 acres were left near the valley, which were connected with the spiritual fields that had been reclaimed before. When the spring of the next year is opened, more than 300 acres are all planted in the Spirit Valley, what a spectacular scene it will be.

The two peaks add up to more than 500 acres of spiritual field, if you count the planting area of Qingli bamboo, I am afraid that it is above 600 acres, this is the largest spiritual field that the dialect has ever mastered, and he can let him sway freely. Now Fang Yan is starting to think about how to stay here, it is much more free than it is in the sect, there is a lot less unnecessary intrigues, and there is more space for himself, except for the monthly garrison mission.

Qingluan's side is far from over, everyone else has been doing things on her side during this time, and Fang Yan will also go over to help when he is free, not that Qingluan's movements are too slow, but that the situation over there has changed somewhat. The coverage of the Vajra Demon Slaying Array is unexpected, the valley where demon beasts often haunted in the past has now entered the scope of formation protection, and it used to be very suitable for demon beasts to live, so Qingluan changed it to the main place for raising spirit beasts.

In this way, the amount of work has increased a lot, and she alone will not be able to complete it in the short term, and now the four of them are building houses where spirit beasts live, and they have to design and build them one by one according to the different demon beasts, which has invisibly delayed the progress even more. But Qingluan insisted on doing this, saying that it would be of great help to domesticate spirit beasts, and I don't know where she learned the wild way.

The placement of the pair of ichthyosaurs was very convenient, and they were directly put into the deep pool under the waterfall, where they were also under the protection of the formation, and the dialect was just at the mouth leading to the outside river, and some big stones were used to make a sluice to prevent the pair of ichthyosaurs from accidentally running outside. The arrangement of a few cranes is even simpler, just carve a few large caves into the cliff at the top of the waterfall, and they will go and build their nests themselves.

When this time is over, everyone will go back to the house to rest for a month or two, this is not like there is a large array of protectors in Luoxia Mountain, no matter how heavy the wind and snow will not have much impact on the location of the sect, and here will be closed due to heavy snow for a while, and it is impossible to do anything on the mountain.

After a few days of intense busyness, the heaviest snow since the beginning of winter arrived as scheduled, the whole camp was covered with snow, and the lake in the center of the camp was also covered with a thick layer of ice. Fang Yan came here early in the morning, and today is the day to go to the garrison, and the monk's body is already different from ordinary people, and this cold will only make them a little uncomfortable.

Fang Yan sat cross-legged on the steps, and every time he came early, he would practice here and wait. After a while, the rest of the team arrived one after another, only the captain Jiang Heng had not yet arrived.

This is a little strange, Fang Yan remembers that every time he seems to be the first to get here, he used to see Jiang Heng sitting on the steps as soon as he arrived, no wonder Fang Yan always felt that something was missing when he first arrived just now. The seven of them sat around in twos and threes, either cultivating or chatting, waiting for the arrival of the captain Jiang Heng.

But an hour passed, and Jiang Heng was still missing, Xiao Bin and the others were a little impatient to wait, so they entered the steward's pavilion to ask, who knew that the people inside replied that they saw Jiang Heng coming early in the morning, and now they don't know where to go, so let them wait patiently.

The captain did not come, and no one dared to act without permission, so he had to sit down on the spot again and wait patiently. It wasn't until it was nearly noon, when the sun was rising high and everyone was already restless, that Jiang Heng was late.

As soon as they met, before everyone could ask, Jiang Heng signaled with his hand not to ask, and then waved a few people to the rockery on the edge of the building, found a place without snow, and everyone sat down in a group.

At this time, Jiang Heng opened his mouth and said: "The task has changed, and I will patrol every day in the future." After speaking, he took out a jade slip and let everyone see it.

After several people had read it, Jiang Heng briefly said the general area and specific requirements of the patrol, and then remained silent and looked at everyone one by one. For Jiang Heng's style of speaking and doing things, everyone has long been accustomed to it, either say "good" or nod, the whole process takes less than a pillar of incense.

As for why he changed the task, how did he explain it to everyone, and what kind of inside information did he have, Jiang Heng didn't say anything, it was useless to ask him, it was better to find someone to inquire if he had this time.

Since there were still some teams working on task changes, Fang Yan found a place near the steward's cabinet and sat down casually to wait for the task assignment in the steward's cabinet. Taking advantage of this moment, Fang Yan also came to the steward's pavilion, wanting to find Ji Ming to understand the reason for the change in this mission.

When I went upstairs, I saw that there were many monks who were like them in dialects, and they were surrounding the stewards because of the change of tasks, and all the stewards were asked a little impatiently, only a few of them were here, and the others did not know where to hide. Ji Ming didn't find it, and it was estimated that he had found something to find and slipped away, so Fang Yan had to go downstairs and wait patiently in the middle of the team.

After a while, Xiao Bin and a few people also came back, Bao Gang was still scolding all the way, listening to what he meant, the people in it didn't seem to be willing to say, and the team that changed this time was not all, but a few dozen or so garrison teams became patrol teams, as for why their notoriously weak team was also on the list, several people didn't ask a result.

Chen Xi, who has rarely appeared at other times, came out of the steward's cabinet with a gloomy face at this time, it seemed that she seemed to know something about this matter, and the team members hurriedly surrounded her and asked her.

Chen Xi glanced at the captain Jiang Heng with some indignation, but saw Jiang Heng sitting there without raising his eyelids, and after thinking about it, he said to everyone in a somewhat gloomy voice: "Senior sister also heard from one of the senior brothers inside, saying that the teams participating in the patrol this time are arranged in the order of coming to the fortress, and the later they come, the earlier they come, the more we will catch up." ”

What kind of reason is this, where is there a task in such a way, everyone immediately said that this kind of major matter related to the safety of disciples, the sect is also a little too child's play.

When everyone settled down a little, Chen Xi talked about the origin of this patrol mission, but it was even more ridiculous. It turned out that this was a deacon in the camp, and by chance I heard the disciples below say that among the monks stationed here in the nearby Earth Fire Palace, a few days ago, they suddenly sent several teams of people to patrol around the fortress, and from time to time they would go deep into the nearby mountains and forests for hundreds of miles, as if they were looking for something, and no matter who asked, they didn't say, suspecting that they might find something nearby.

The deacon, for some reason, was unusually concerned about this matter, and sent several disciples to investigate, but the result was nothing. Originally, there was nothing like this, as a garrison monk, he only needed to ensure that the stone castle he guarded did not make any mistakes, as for the stone castles of other sects, as long as they did not ignite the tokens and were in a hurry, they could ignore the fire gate.

Unexpectedly, this deacon became more and more concerned about this matter, and even found several other deacons who were here from the Fire Gate, and discussed all night last night, and finally came to the conclusion that no matter what the other sects thought of it, they should go to the Fire Gate to "help". As for how to select and transfer disciples, someone came up with an idea, and in order not to affect the safety of the stone castle, they were drawn from the new team this year.

These deacons of them have a simple idea, anyway, they just send people out to fish in troubled waters, and if they can find it, they will report it to the top of the sect, and then it is good to intervene, it doesn't matter if they can't find it, it's just to draw some monks from the station and temporarily change the task.

But for them, this change is too big, originally they were just messing around in the stone castle, and their safety was guaranteed, but this time they had to leave the stone castle and go deep into the nearby mountains and forests, and they didn't know what the purpose of the mission was, and what dangers were there, so no one wanted to do the task with too many unknowns.

Although after the autumn hunt, a large number of demon beasts entrenched in the nearby mountains have been removed, and those who can still be encountered nearby at this time are either low-level demon beasts that are not eye-catching, or they have recently moved from other places. Besides, in such a large area, it is impossible to kill all the demon beasts here in an autumn hunt, and many demon hunting teams will bypass some powerful demon beasts or beast groups during the autumn hunt, no one will work hard to clear all the demon beasts in a region, and it is impossible to do it with their cultivation during the Qi refining period.

Just like the last time Fang Yan was in Dajin Lake, he also carefully bypassed the habitat of a large number of demon beasts, otherwise he was afraid that he would not even be able to reach Dajin Lake. And now they are going to patrol here all day, and no one knows what they will encounter at that time, and there is nothing to encounter when they encounter some low-level demon beasts, at most it will be a delay in some effort, and if they are unlucky enough to encounter high-level demon beasts, it will be difficult to do.

Every year in the fortress, there will be monks who specialize in exploring the information of demon beasts, and at the beginning of spring, they will venture to search for the whereabouts of demon beasts everywhere in the wilderness, and then sell the information they get about demon beasts, and make a living licking blood on the knife edge, these are all things that ordinary monks are unwilling to do, and only a few casual cultivators who have no way out will do it.

And the garrison monks like Fang Yan them, or some demon hunting monks, all buy information from them before entering the mountain, which is relatively much safer. And dialect their patrol this time, it seems that they are robbing those demon exploration monks of their work, which makes most of the monks who come here to mix and contribute extremely dissatisfied, in this mountain range that changes every day, it would be unlucky if they bumped into some powerful demon beasts.

After listening to the news that Chen Xi had discovered, all the people secretly scolded the troublesome deacon in their hearts, just for his guess, so many disciples took the risk to do the work that ordinary casual cultivators were unwilling to do, I really don't know what the other deacons in the sect thought, and they would all agree with him.

Since the deacons have agreed on their opinions, there is no one in this station who dares to disagree, and here they are the most powerful, and no one dares to refuse to carry out what they have decided. The most unfortunate thing is that the way the tasks are assigned, it turns out that they come in the order of first come, first served, rather than according to the strength of each team, which is the most difficult for them to understand.
