Only those who walk here all year round can remember this route. Every few meters, a wasteland poisonous mushroom will be planted to prevent local monsters from gathering here.

Each of these poisonous mushrooms was cultivated by a human being in the past. It is a road that the locals paved for future generations with their lives.

It's best not to fly in this wasteland.

By combining the python and poisonous mushrooms, and with the help of experienced snake people, they can move forward here relatively safely.

In this kind of wilderness, it always gets dark very quickly. During the day, all creatures lie motionless on the ground in disguise. Night is the prelude to their carnival.

Various wolf howls and beast roars echoed in the wilderness. Fortunately, they followed the snakemen and found a desert poisonous mushroom before the sun set.

Do not light a bonfire when you are around mushrooms, and take anti-toxic measures. If something approaches, just touch the mushroom lightly to scare away most dangers.

However, the effect of the poisonous spores is only aimed at external threats, and it is powerless against internal dangers.

"Hey, are you telling the truth?"

"Really! I saw it with my own eyes. I was lying on the ground at that time. The boy's fire technique was incredibly powerful. He burned a large group of biting flying ants with just one move."

"The color of his spiritual fire is also very different from ordinary spiritual fire. I suspect he must have some strange fire in him!"

"I've heard that Wantu Sect has recently attached great importance to cultivators with fire-attributed spiritual roots. If we can obtain a rare fire, we brothers may be able to make a name for ourselves in Wantu Sect."

"How about it? Do you want to do it?"

"Hehe, such a good big fat sheep is right in front of us, that is the opportunity for us brothers."

There were few good people among the scattered cultivators who could gather here. Even on this journey, some people could not help but harbor evil intentions.

Several monks whispered to each other in a local dialect for a while, and then dispersed as if they were returning to their original places to take a nap.

But then there was a slight rustling sound, mixed into the cold wind of the wilderness.

A palm-sized hairy spider crawled out from the sleeve of a monk.

This hairy spider can move when the wind comes and stop when the wind stops. The hunting instinct engraved in its genes allows it to approach its target silently.

Soon, the hairy spider crawled from the rocky ground onto Jiang Li's body, and then crawled all the way onto the mask.

"Humph, you can even fall asleep like this, you're really a rookie."

The monk lying on the ground suddenly pulled the spider silk in his hand and pulled the hairy spider crawling on Jiang Li's mask back, pulling Jiang Li's mask off as well.

Then another person threw a stone in his hand and hit the poisonous mushroom in the wilderness directly.

When stimulated, the poisonous mushroom immediately sprayed out a large number of spores from the holes all over its body.

The monks who were sitting or lying around to rest immediately stepped back. Even if they had taken anti-poison measures in advance, no one wanted to stay in such a strong and highly toxic spore powder.

Only a few who had just had evil intentions did not retreat but instead advanced and pounced on Jiang Li who was still within the range of the spore powder.

The other passengers who were driven back by the spore powder were all very angry. After seeing this scene, they already understood what those people wanted to do.

He simply wanted to use the toxicity of the poisonous mushrooms to knock Jiang Li down and then kill him and rob him.

This behavior is actually quite old-fashioned in this wilderness.

But robbery is robbery and murder is murder, but if you accidentally injure someone, that's your problem.

When the guys inside come out, the passengers surrounding them outside will probably come to settle the score with them.

The strong winds across the stone wasteland quickly blew away the spore dust.

But the only person who appeared in front of them was Jiang Li, and there was not a speck of dust on his body.

The few villains who had just launched the attack had disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Li is actually in a good mood now. Among the people who attacked him just now, there happened to be one guy whose spiritual root attribute is fire.

I was just worrying that my randomly made-up name and origin would be easily discovered by the Wantumen, but these guys came and delivered it on their own.

Fire Whip Niu Yier, this name is chosen quite casually.

Jiang Li put on the mask again and used the disguise technique he had acquired accidentally that year to change his appearance. Then he sat cross-legged back to his original position.

The others also wanted to vent their anger on Jiang Li.

But the scene just now showed that this person was obviously not to be trifled with. As independent cultivators like them, they were the best at judging the situation, and for the time being, no one dared to come up and die.

Instead, there was a man who placed a bottle of pills next to him.

"This medicine can cure the mushroom poison."

After the man finished speaking, he walked away without even looking at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li put away the bottle of pills and did not take them, nor did he refuse them.

The next day, the group continued on their journey as usual. No one cared about the missing scum.

As the distance got closer, the number of monsters and beasts in the surrounding wasteland became fewer and fewer.

And from time to time, patrolling monks from the Wantu Sect would appear.

Finally, several smooth roads appeared ahead.

This product of civilized order shows that they have entered the control area of ​​Black Rock City.

All the monsters in this vicinity have been completely wiped out by local monks.

But after Wantumen took over Black Stone City, everything here changed slightly.

On the side of this avenue, there is a wooden pole standing every ten feet.

On each wooden pole, there was a corpse of a young girl, and they were placed in a dancing posture.

They closed their eyes and pointed forward gracefully. It turned out that these were road signs made of human girls.

"Hey, it's really beautiful, worthy of being the Wantu Clan."

Jiang Li saw this scene for the first time and couldn't help but frown.

But the wandering cultivators nearby were obviously well-informed and had probably seen things that were ten times worse than this.

So I didn’t feel any discomfort when I saw it.

Some people, however, were full of praise for this decoration.

This is the true appearance of the Eastern Region's immortal cultivation world.

The Eastern Region of Cangyun Province is very large, and the situations in each area are not the same. The attitudes of cultivators towards mortals are also very different.

Like Dachongshan, with the efforts of the senior masters, the righteous alliance completely defeated the evil cultivators, allowing the human race in that area to live a stable life.

But in fact, that kind of peace only lasted for more than a hundred years. For the older generation of monks, the chaos of that year seemed like a day ago.

Some other areas in the Eastern Region have also established a peaceful order, just like Dachongshan.

But apart from these, there are many places where good and evil coexist. In some places, the evil cultivators have simply destroyed the righteous sects, established evil places, and made all living beings suffer.

For example, the current world of immortal cultivation in Luanshiling.

Some high-ranking officials of the Temple of the Gods may have long wanted to eliminate these cancers as soon as possible.

But organizations like Wantumen are actually quite numerous and they hold a large voice in the Temple of the Gods.

Therefore, unification is not easy to achieve, and if a war really breaks out, it will inevitably cause serious internal friction.

Now the armored ogre has been eyeing the invasion. If the power of the East Region is greatly consumed, the entire East Region may fall into a situation that is even more terrible than being ruled by demon cultivators.

This is how this group of demon cultivators have been able to run rampant and domineering in the Eastern Region for so many years.

Soon, a pair of Wantumen monks fell from the sky and stopped them.

After learning of their purpose, he was no longer surprised. He just pointed them in a direction and took off again.

Outside the huge Black Stone City, there were actually people queuing up, and the line was quite long.

It can be seen how popular the Wantu Demon Sect is among this group of casual cultivators.

"Those with fire spiritual roots, come here to register! We will give priority to recruitment!"

"If you have any special skills, please come over here and fill in the registration form yourself!"

After Jiang Li got closer, he discovered that Wantumen also made certain classifications when recruiting new members.

For ordinary cultivators, as long as their cultivation level is above the foundation-building stage, they have already met the minimum standard for Wantumen to recruit disciples.

Anyway, being a cannon fodder is enough.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Among them, the most common foundation-building cultivators are the largest in number and have the longest queues.

Then there are the cultivators in the Jindan stage. The treatment for each realm is different.

In addition, Wantumen also focuses on recruiting monks with fire-attribute spiritual roots, as well as monks with secondary professions.

Those who practice alchemy and refining weapons, draw talismans and formations, practice artistic swordsmanship, or master some kind of fire of heaven and earth or special abilities can all enjoy better treatment from Wantu Clan.

Talented people who can create profits at all times are naturally scarce and sought-after commodities wherever they go.

Jiang Li stood behind several rows of people and thought about it.

With the style of Wantumen, if you become their minion, you will be asked to carry a knife and go around killing people and burning things.

Even if it was just a temporary disguise, Jiang Li didn't want to help them do this.

He doesn't know how to make pills or weapons, but he is an expert in runes and formations, and is a special talent that the other party is focusing on recruiting.

In addition, Wantumen is still recruiting cultivators with fire-attributed spiritual roots. Jiang Li's Drunken Fire Sword Song can be considered outstanding from any perspective.

He even possessed the fire-attributed deadly weapon, Suirenhuo.

So choosing these two directions should be more appropriate.

After thinking about it, Jiang Li decided to choose the more stable formation master team.

The number of monks queuing here is obviously smaller.

But correspondingly, the review should be more stringent.

After Jiang Li filled out his basic form according to the fire monk he had previously captured and put into the coffin, he was taken to a temporary collective rune studio.

There are hundreds of rune tables in this room, and in front of the tables many monks dressed like him are working hard, doing something desperately.

His arrival did not attract anyone's attention.

Jiang Li randomly found a rune table and placed a complete rune formation in front of him.

In addition, there is an hourglass, a carving knife and ten blank wooden boards of standard size.

The way this test is done is pretty self-explanatory.

He needed to analyze the runes in the formation within the specified time, and then carve one exactly as it was.

Finally, the spirit stone is embedded. If the formation can be run and the accuracy rate exceeds 80%, it will be considered passed.

Jiang Li only took a glance and recognized the formation in front of him. It was a slightly improved rock-gathering formation that could compress ordinary soil into rock.

It is a very basic entry-level formation.

As long as one has received a few years of orthodox and systematic teaching on formation talismans, there is almost no possibility of failure in replicating an formation pattern of this level.

For Alliance Leader Jiang Lijiang, it was even more of a piece of cake.

But it is normal that the test is simple.

Because the target of this test is individual cultivators.

Those independent cultivators basically hold a secret book of unknown origin and study it until they die.

Some have studied it for more than ten years, but still have only a partial understanding.

Some people are very talented and have really mastered it.

It is inevitable that there will be many misunderstandings and problems with details and habits. This is the inevitable result of a person working in isolation.

So what Jiang Li thought was a simple test was actually a very severe test for the other casual cultivators.

Seeing them sweating from nervousness, Jiang Li thanked his master again in his heart.

He picked up the carving knife and worked quickly. In just a few moments, smooth lines covered the entire wooden board and a formation diagram was completed.

An examiner from the Wantu Sect above was surprised to see Jiang Li's skillful technique.

Surprised, I came down to check.

But Jiang Li suddenly realized something, and a trace of wine and fire spiritual energy surged into his hand, instantly igniting the wooden board in his hand.

The examiner was halfway there when he saw the rising flames. He thought Jiang Li had acted too hastily and made a fundamental mistake.

He shook his head in disappointment and continued to observe the other subjects.

Jiang Li almost made a mistake. He was now pretending to be a casual cultivator, just to see the level of the guys around him.

If he performs too well and too perfectly, it will do him no good whether he is promoted or not.

On the contrary, it may arouse suspicion or attention.

For someone like him who wanted to do something secretly, these were things that should be avoided as much as possible.

So when he took up the knife again, he deliberately chose a knife-holding posture that was neither professional nor comfortable. When carving, he deliberately slowed down the speed and also showed some problems, not big or small, at every identical point.

He believed that the formation level of ordinary cultivators would be no worse than this.

This should be in line with his technical level as a casual cultivator.

The effect of the formation created in this way would be much worse, and it would seem as if he had an irregular flaw in his common sense skills. This kind of problem often occurs to independent cultivators who have no one to guide them.

But even so, after he handed in the wooden board, he naturally received praise from the examiner.

"Nice, not bad, not bad. You have great potential."

Among the group of array masters who took the test, Jiang Li, who tried his best to make himself look clumsy, still stood out from the crowd.

Naturally, there will be no problem with this kind of recruitment which has little value.

After being forced to change into a dirty work gown that was obviously second-hand.

He and several other monks who passed were taken to a refining field where flames were shooting up into the sky.

The temperature here is very high, and a large number of monks are working non-stop to transport supplies, smelt metals, and build a huge thing.

This thing seems to be a large tripod, a large tripod that is about 80% to 90% completed.

Just from the appearance, it looks evil and should not be a righteous thing.
