Is there anyone faster than me?
Zhou Qing guessed that the man probably did not go back after the meeting and came back to sign up directly.
It's really efficient, and the desire to kill the barbarians is really strong.
"The sect will not send too many disciples to support the team three days later. There will be opportunities later."
Elder Qian said: "So the sect will consider it carefully and finally choose the right candidate. You are one of the ten true disciples. This position has a different meaning. Don't worry."
“…”
Zhou Qing heard this, why did it seem like he was comforting himself? However, from the perspective of considering him, it is indeed better to let him stay in the mountains.
At this time, Mr. Qian seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"Do you have a war artifact?"
"I'm not trying to find out about you. What you and Murong Yanran did in Minggu Divine Mountain has spread, and the sect has collected some intelligence."
Zhou Qing nodded, "Yes, I do."
There were quite a few people present at the time, so it was normal for them to spread the news after they left.
This is not something shameful, and Zhou Qing doesn't care much if Xuandu Temple finds out about it.
"I wonder what grade it is?"
"The ultimate war artifact is called the Six-Polarity Warship."
"Top quality?"
It can be seen that Mr. Qian was very surprised to hear this answer. He had not expected it at all.
"This is a top-grade war artifact. It is very precious. You are lucky to have obtained it. This kind of war artifact can really exert a strong power on the battlefield."
"With this divine weapon in hand, you will be safe once your cultivation level reaches a higher level."
There are only a few heavenly war artifacts in the world. Earthly war artifacts are the limit of what most forces can possess, and there are not many of them.
Under such circumstances, the top-grade war artifact is indeed quite impressive and is already top-notch.
Elder Qian pondered over it, and Zhou Qing had an idea. He probably understood that the Liuji warship would add a lot of points to him, and perhaps it would bring about some different changes in things.
Of course, Zhou Qing was not afraid that Qian Lao or Xuandu Temple would ask him to borrow the Liuji warship or even ask him to contribute it directly.
it's out of the question.
Although top-grade war artifacts are great, Xuandu Temple does have them. It is just a local war with the barbarians, and even Xuandu Temple will only use a part of its own war artifacts.
It does not go so far as to directly confiscate the treasures of the disciples.
In fact, if you really want to, even if Xuandu Temple does not approve your application, the disciples can go to the border privately.
If you perform meritorious service on the border, you will still receive rewards.
But there is a difference between going privately and setting out with a large group.
In the latter case, you will get an official and formal identity of Da Qi, with a high status, less orders, and you can also command others.
But if you go there privately, you will not receive such treatment.
Even if everyone can confirm your identity and knows that you are a true disciple of Xuan Du, there are still rules on the battlefield and in the army.
Some positions and titles should not be granted lightly to avoid accidents.
After a while, Master Qian said, "I understand your thoughts, and I will tell you the truth. You can go back first."
"That's troublesome, Mr. Qian."
Zhou Qing didn't say anything more and turned and left.
No matter who applies, you will only be told to wait for further information, and there will be no immediate confirmation that you have been selected.
In fact, Zhou Qing doesn't have to go to this battlefield. He can accept going or not.
He signed up not because the training on the battlefield was essential for him, but because Xuandu Temple had an unwritten and unspoken rule that every true disciple of Xuandu needed to go to the border for training.
This may be the trend of the frontier sects and the state religion of Da Qi.
If he goes there now, it can be regarded as completing the "mission" ahead of schedule.
Although he failed to go this time, he will have to find an opportunity to go to the border in the future. It is only a matter of time.
He would have to go sooner or later anyway, and he just happened to catch up with the war, so he might as well go to the border when the war was at its most intense, see the grand scene, and test the results of his own practice.
Compared with the border in normal times, it is undoubtedly easier to express oneself and to achieve merit at this time.
If we are going, it would definitely make more sense to go to the border at this time.
A real man should wield a three-foot sword and accomplish unprecedented feats!
Well...it's also easier to die.
He has registered, but whether he can go or not will depend on fate.
Kunlun Mountains.
After Zhou Qing came back, he said to An Lang and the others, "The barbarians are invading, and I might go to the border battlefield."
"Invasion? Battlefield?"
An Lang was stunned for a moment, then said:
"Then I will go with you, sir."
Han Shanshan followed up by saying, "We are also willing to follow our senior brother to the battlefield to resist the barbarians and defend Hanzhou."
The "we" she was referring to naturally represented the other members of the Han family.
It seems that these disciples were chosen by Zhou Qing after the dispute over the position of the true disciple. Ye Gong and others also expressed the same opinion.
I would like to go to the front line with my brothers!
Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head. "No need to do that. I'm not sure if I can go yet. You guys just stay in Kunlun Mountain."
These people are all quite talented. After arriving at Kunlun Mountain, they have been working very hard. If he were to go to the front line, there would be no need to take them with him.
Among these people, the lowest ones are only at the tendons, veins and internal organs level, while the highest ones are only at the bone refining level. There is no point in going to the battlefield with such cultivation.
"You don't have to be affected by my decision. Of course, if you really want to gain experience on the battlefield, I won't stop you."
There is no need to make a decision in response to him, but if you really want to, Zhou Qing won't say anything.
The choices are all yours to make.
Zhou Qing brought An Lang into the Qingxu Palace and said to her:
"If the sect really allows me to go to the border battlefield, then you stay in Kunlun Mountain."
Before An Lang asked why, Zhou Qing continued:
"That's a battlefield, not suitable for ghost activities at your level."
What is a battlefield? The smoke of war is everywhere, the spirit of war is boiling, the blood of the soldiers is thick as the ocean, the yang is so intense that there is no room for ghosts to play.
This is also true for cultivators. If a soul below the level of the Sun appears in front of the army, it will be instantly dispersed by the terrifying murderous aura and extremely yang blood energy of the battlefield and will not be able to survive at all.
The wandering soul has a certain resistance ability, but it cannot last long and will be greatly restricted. If you dare to charge into the formation with your soul, you will surely die.
You can only view it from a distance, not up close.
Only when one reaches the realm of manifestation, where the soul seems real, as if it were another body, can one escape the predicament of being a ghost.
From the perspective of Taoism, it can be said that the soldiers staying in the military camp are very safe and will not be easily ambushed by some small monks.
Even if it is a sinister Taoist magic like curse, if the caster is not strong enough, it will be difficult to show off his power in the Fiery Army Camp.
Ghosts also need to reach the realm of manifestation before they can freely enter and exit the battlefield.
However, this refers to the battlefield where fighting is taking place. The remains of the battlefield after the war is over will become a paradise for ghosts and zombies.
At that time, negative forces such as yin and death were strong. A large amount of killing and death wiped out all the yang parts between heaven and earth. Positive energy no longer existed, and it was the most suitable place for ghosts, zombies and other beings to practice.
It fully reflects the rotation of yin and yang and the two sides of things.
Of course, if they are some evil cultivators, and they are trained in controlling ghosts and refining corpses using evil methods, then when a war breaks out, they will sneak into the battlefield, fish in troubled waters, and practice evil methods, which will naturally bring many benefits.
Even if their own realm is not high and their ability to control ghosts and refine corpses is not strong, they can make some small moves in such a chaotic place to support their rapid progress.
After a war, several ferocious demons may emerge.
However, there is no doubt that many people died on the battlefield.
As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger, it is nothing more than this.
In fact, this is what happens in every war. Evil forces are never absent and they will definitely get involved.
But An Lang is an orthodox spiritual ghost, not an evil ghost, and they don’t have any ghost methods that can use the battlefield environment to practice.
An Lang thought about it and suddenly felt a little depressed.
"You have a point."
Although she already possesses the combat power to manifest a saint, her own realm is still not up to that of a saint. This is an essential difference.
"It's a pity that Xuanfa County is too far from the border, so the voice transmission snail can't be effective, otherwise we can still keep in touch."
The news of the outbreak of war quickly spread not only among the true disciples, but also throughout the entire Xuandu Temple.
Deacons at all levels, affairs, inner and outer disciples all knew about it.
Xuandu Temple took the initiative to post a notice to announce this matter, and at the same time stated that disciples who are willing to go to the border battlefield can sign up. The sect will make comprehensive considerations and select some of the disciples to lead the troops to the border.
This news immediately caused a sensation and attracted countless people to discuss it.
"Barbarian invasion? Oh no! My home is in Beiyuan County. I want to sign up to join the war!"
"This is my chance. I would rather die on the battlefield than live in mediocrity!"
"If I practice normally, I'm afraid that the Marrow Cleansing Stage will be my limit, and it will be difficult to obtain True Blood. But I am unwilling to stop here. I must cultivate to obtain True Blood. Well, I will go to the border and fight for a chance to change my fate!"
"Hahaha, let's go together! If you, the barbarians from the grassland, dare to invade our Qi land, we will make sure they are killed for a hundred miles!"
"As a disciple of the national religion, I have the responsibility to defend the land. I want to contribute my own strength."
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
"War... is too dangerous, with countless people being killed. My weak arms and legs can't stand it. I can't go to the border, or I'm afraid my life will be in danger."
"If the sky collapses, there are tall people to hold it up. These are not things I should worry about. I am at the Internal Organ Realm, and it will be useless if I go to the border. That's all."
"You want to go to the border? Take my advice, your life is the most important thing. Just stay in the mountains and practice, don't be impulsive."
“…”
Nothing is more eye-catching than the border war, and everyone is talking about it.
Some people are full of passion and ambition, wanting to kill the enemy, defend the land, make achievements, and fight for a bright future for themselves in the war.
Xuandu Temple is very generous. If you have made contributions in the war, you can exchange them for various treasures and they can also teach you more advanced skills.
For the vast majority of disciples, even without mentioning the changes and improvements that occurred on the battlefield, the rewards after the battle at Xuandu Temple alone are extremely generous.
This is indeed a visible and very clear way to change your destiny.
There are also people who are terrified of the battlefield and are afraid of it like a tiger. After just hearing the news, they decide to stay away and never get involved in it.
They know there are opportunities and ways to change their destiny, but they also understand that there is more death there!
Although death is everyone's final destination, they don't want to skip the second half of their lives and go straight to the end.
There are all kinds of thoughts and attitudes.
Not only in Xuandu Temple, but people from all forces in Hanzhou were also excited when they heard the news of the barbarian invasion.
All eyes were focused on the border battlefield, which touched everyone's heart.
Time passed slowly amidst such noise and chaos, and in the blink of an eye, it was already two days later.
Zhou Qing had not received any notification that he was going to the border battlefield, but he was no longer concerned about this matter.
What he cared more about was what was going to happen next.
The cheat code is about to be refreshed.
"My lucky star is about to disappear. I wonder how Aunt Mo is doing in the underworld. Has my good fortune affected her..."
While waiting for the cheat code to refresh, Zhou Qing's thoughts wandered.
"A month is definitely not enough for Aunt Mo to complete the breakthrough, but with her background and various treasures, she should be able to have a good start if she has good fortune. I hope she will succeed soon..."
The final moments passed as Zhou Qing's mind raced, and the scene he had seen more than ten times reappeared.
[Get a cheat code refresh count and start refreshing]
【Last month's golden finger: Good luck】
[Refreshing...]
【Refresh completed】
[This month's gold finger: slay demons and monsters]
[Life Point: Nine]
[Do you want to use your life points to extract the golden finger you once had? ]
Only about two months had passed since he was promoted to Marrow Cleansing and broke through to the middle stage of Manifestation of Sagehood in the last few days of June.
This amount of time is not enough to support his further advancement, so the number of life points remains unchanged this month.
However, this golden finger left Zhou Qing a little confused.
Kill demons and monsters?
He understood the meaning of this word, but what was the function of becoming a golden finger? At this time, the information changed, and new content was perceived by Zhou Qing.
[Demons and demons: Use your own strength to distinguish demons and demons, and you will be blessed by heaven and earth! 】
[Current Taoist Method: Visualization Method of the Great Thousand Immortal Tree (mid-stage of Manifestation of Sainthood), Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal (entry/great success), Three Bows of the Supreme Star God (entry)...]
[Current martial arts: Pingtian Niu Mo training method (completed), Fuhai Jiao Mo true scripture (completed), Exorcist Yuxiong picture book (completed)...]
【Heaven’s Favor: Zero】
[You can invest your Heavenly Favor into Taoist martial arts to speed up your practice. One point of Heavenly Favor represents one day's practice! ]
[Do it yourself, slay demons and monsters, keep your heart close to the will of heaven, use your own strength to represent the strength of heaven, and slay demons and monsters whose realm is higher than your highest cultivation realm, only then can you gain the favor of heaven]
[Kill a demon who practices only one path, and you will get 0.5 Heavenly Favor! Kill two demons who practice the same path, and both of them are higher than your own realm, and you will get one Heavenly Favor! ]
[If you kill a demon who is one major realm higher than you and cultivates a single path, you will gain five points of Heavenly Favor! If you kill two demons who cultivate the same path and are both one major realm higher than you, you will gain ten points of Heavenly Favor! ]
Zhou Qing couldn't help but widen his eyes as he looked at the information appearing before his eyes.
This golden finger, so this is what it means? You can actually obtain the favor of heaven by slaying demons and monsters, and then use it to accelerate the practice of Taoist martial arts!
Zhou Qing looked at the golden finger carefully again and confirmed that he was not mistaken, and he was immediately overjoyed.
One point of Heavenly Favor is equivalent to one day's hard work. Doesn't that mean that if he gets 30 points of Heavenly Favor, he can save a month? If he gets 365 points of Heavenly Favor, he can get a year's hard work...
This golden finger is really... too powerful!
[Do you want to use your life points to extract the golden finger you once had? ]
Gold Finger's question appeared again, and Zhou Qing refused directly without any hesitation.
No, I won’t draw. If such a powerful golden finger is refreshed, I will get nothing.
In terms of direct improvement of Taoist martial arts, few of the golden fingers I have ever possessed can be greater than [Slay Demons and Eliminate Evil].
Zhou Qing was still regretting the refresh of [Lucky Star], thinking that he had lost a golden finger that was very suitable for use in the border battlefield, but now that this month's golden finger has been refreshed...
Pity?
Sorry, I, Zhou, have never felt regretful! I don't have time to mourn for the disappearance of [Lucky Star], now the perfect [Demon Slayer] appears! "A demon who practices only one path is worth 0.5 Heavenly Favor, and a demon who practices two paths is worth 1 Heavenly Favor... So according to the rules of this golden finger, a demon who practices only one path can only be counted as half a person?"
Zhou Qing spoke up for those who only practiced one path, saying how great it would be if everyone was worthy of a little blessing from heaven!
But from the rules of this golden finger, we can actually see some things, some guidance from the highest level.
Perhaps only those who practice both Taoism and martial arts can be called complete.
The golden finger is undoubtedly mysterious and of a very high level. The information it reveals can, to some extent, be regarded as a hint and a guide.
Practicing the two paths together is indeed the right path, and this is the correct thing to do.
If you only practice one path, you can't even say you're walking on one leg when [Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil], but only half of your body is walking.
Can this be healthy? Definitely not.
Fortunately, Zhou Qing had been advancing on both paths from the very beginning, without neglecting either path.
Although he didn't know what the dual cultivation or individual cultivation of the soul and body meant and what the final result would be, Zhou Qing firmly believed that he was on the right path.
There are two rules for obtaining the favor of heaven. One is that the realm must be higher than one's own, and the other is the difference between single cultivation and dual cultivation. In summary, that is to say...
"With my current realm, in the Manifestation Realm, I must kill cultivators in the late Manifestation Realm and the Perfection Realm to obtain the Heavenly Blessing, which is 0.5."
"If you are a dual cultivator who is both in the late stage of Manifestation and at the level of Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing or above, you can get some heavenly favor."
Judging from the information from the golden finger, although there is a small realm gap between the late stage of manifestation of the saint and the perfect manifestation of the saint, both only give 0.5 days of favor.
The difference in small realms does not affect the number of heavenly favors, only the change in large realms can do that.
In this way, if you are facing a demon in the realm of Manifestation of Sainthood, it would be more cost-effective to kill those in the late stage of Manifestation of Sainthood or those in the great stage of Marrow Cleansing.
It is relatively labor-saving and more efficient.
But Zhou Qing still had some doubts.
By killing a demon that is one realm higher than him, he can obtain at least five points of Heavenly Favor.
To be at a higher realm, does it mean that one can just be a Venerable, or does it require one to be at a completely higher realm?
I'm afraid this question can only be answered when we actually slay the demons and eliminate the evil.
