The head of Shuiyue Peak smiled and said, "With Vice Master Shen here, some people will at least not dare to attack you openly."

"indeed."

Zhou Qingshen nodded in agreement.

If the team was led by a master of the Biluo Tongtian realm from the Su family, Zhou Qing would really be a little worried, wondering if they would be attacked shady ways.

It is indeed the best choice to have a deputy abbot who has a relationship with the master to lead the team.

However, although a good result was obtained now, Zhou Qing really did not expect that An Lang's matter would happen again out of nowhere.

He had not originally planned to take An Lang with him, but the Sword Master said that he could pass on the Ten Thousand Evils Soul Refining Technique to An Lang.

Although he didn't know what this method was, since it was specifically mentioned by the Sword Master, it must be very suitable for the environment of Anlang and the border, and it must be of great use.

Therefore, Zhou Qing also changed his mind very flexibly.

You have to go, you must go, you have to go.

Humans and ghosts work together to advance and retreat together!

At that time, he and An Lang will kill people on the battlefield.

After the head of Shuiyue Peak gave Zhou Qing many careful instructions, he said, "You should take An Lang to Chengdao Peak to receive the inheritance. This Wansha Soul Refining Technique is a ghost method that assists in cultivation. Although it does not have great power, it is first-class in helping cultivation."

"An Lang is a pure spiritual ghost, which conflicts with all kinds of evil forces. Generally speaking, contact with evil forces will ruin your cultivation, and even your mind will be invaded, and you may become a fierce and evil ghost."

Ghosts, after all, belong to the underworld and are naturally associated with ominous and evil spirits, so it is not difficult for a spiritual ghost to transform into an evil ghost. Sometimes, an opportunity can cause a clear and bright spiritual ghost to fall.

Although powerful evil ghosts can maintain their sanity, their roots are completely different from those of spiritual ghosts. The two are completely opposite.

No matter how gentle a ghost looks, he is fierce and violent at heart, and his paths are fundamentally different.

The difference between a spiritual ghost and an evil ghost is just like the difference between a cultivator who practices normal skills and a cultivator who practices evil skills and magic scriptures.

"The evil energy on the battlefield is the strongest, covering the sky and the sun, corroding souls and spreading the way. Ordinary ghosts will die if they touch it. But it must be said that the evil energy is sometimes very helpful for the practice of ghosts. It can temper the ghost body very efficiently, and the effect will be better than normal practice."

This is why evil ghosts are generally very powerful and ferocious.

Just as most of the evil spells and magic scriptures are strange and mysterious, if you, a normal practitioner, suddenly encounter a demon whose details you don't know, there is a high probability that you will suffer losses.

"And the Ten Thousand Evils Soul Refining Technique is a method that can collect all kinds of evil forces, perform special processing and transformation, and then temper the ghost's true body. It is even better than the effect of evil spirits absorbing evil spirits, and it is of great help."

It is precisely because ghosts are inherently ominous and evil, and are the product of the reversal of yin and yang, that they have the opportunity to use all kinds of evil powers in the form of ghost spirits.

There is a connection at the root.

"After refining the soul with Ten Thousand Evils, all aspects of the ghost body will be greatly improved, and it will be extremely tough, and the increase in strength will not be small."

"After An Lang accepts this inheritance, you take her to the border battlefield and find a place with less evil energy. Let her practice this method step by step. When you come back, her strength will surely break through."

"But the process of practicing this technique is somewhat painful. The power of evil is not a good power after all."

This thing is just like poison. If you are not sick, would you feel comfortable taking poison? Zhou Qing kept nodding. This method is wonderful and very suitable for An Lang.

As for the pain in the process of practice, it is nothing.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing asked:

"Master, if you teach this method directly to An Lang...it won't violate the rules, right?"

The head of Shuiyue Peak shook his head, "You don't have to worry about this, because the Ten Thousand Evils Soul Refining Technique is a method that the Sword Master obtained outside and later handed over to the sect."

"He said he would pass it on to An Lang, and everything would be fine."

I see.

Although it was contributed to the sect, Sword Master, as a contributor, undoubtedly still had a certain degree of autonomy.

However, this is also because An Lang has inherited the Indigo Ghost Ancestor's legacy and will inherit the Indigo Pearl in the future.

This reason, coupled with the fact that Zhou Qing had contracted her, made Sword Master willing to give her a benefit.

These two reasons are basically indispensable.

If An Lang didn't live up to her expectations, then even if Zhou Qing had contracted her, Jian Jun would not have thought of her at this time.

"Then Master, I will go back and prepare first."

"Go ahead, and remember, be careful."

Zhou Qing returned to Kunlun Mountain and told An Lang about the relevant matters.

An Lang was naturally happy. After all, she wanted to be with Zhou Qing from the beginning. Now that they could be together, she also got other benefits.

It couldn't be better.

Without delay, Zhou Qingxian took An Lang to Chengdao Peak to receive the inheritance of the Wansha Soul Refining Technique.

After the inheritance was completed, he prepared carefully, making sure he had everything he needed so that he could face the battlefield in the best possible manner.

Pills, talismans, puppets...

Great, I can't wait to start killing!

After a busy night, Zhou Qing took An Lang directly to Gongde Peak in the early morning.

There are already quite a few disciples waiting here, including inner and outer sect disciples, as well as administrative disciples.

These disciples were not forcibly recruited; they all went to the border battlefield willingly, either for justice or to fight for a future for themselves.

Rushing to the border to provide assistance is considered a mission, and as long as you come back alive, the mission is accomplished.

A real man cannot eat from five tripods when he is alive, but he should be cooked in five tripods when he is dead!

"Brother Zhou."

One by one, the disciples greeted Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing responded kindly.

More and more people gathered, and soon other true disciples also came, and Zhou Qing knew them all.

The eighth true disciple is Zhuge Yingyue, there are two male true disciples ranked in the twenties, and the last one is Shi Yi.

It seems that Cao Yinyin was not chosen to go to the border this time.

Including Zhou Qing, there are five people in total.

"Senior Sister Zhuge."

"Junior Brother Zhou."

Zhuge Yingyue said, "Junior Brother Zhou, this is your first time going to the border to deal with the barbarians. After you arrive, try not to act alone until you get used to it. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

"I understand. Thank you for your care, Senior Sister."

Zhuge Yingyue is higher in rank than him and is his senior sister, so there is nothing wrong with her saying these words.

Zhuge Yingyue nodded and said nothing more.

She had been instructed by Zhuge Tongda to impart more experience on the border battlefield to Zhou Qing.

At this time, a violent whistling sound was heard, and then an object was seen flying through the air from afar, and instantly arrived above the disciples.

This is a flying artifact, which is even more majestic and powerful than the Jiaxuan divine ship that participated in the last Hanxue Festival.

Divine weapon! This thought emerged in Zhou Qing's mind.

“Come up!”

A voice came from the flying artifact, and then a beam of light descended and turned into a staircase.

Zhuge Yingyue led the way, followed closely by Zhou Qing, and all the disciples boarded the spaceship in an orderly manner.

There were already people on the boat, all of them were elders in the Yin Shen Zhen Xue realm, as well as other masters, but they had not shown up.

This group of support includes disciples from the outer sect and those at the Biluo Tongtian realm.

An elder of the Yin God swept his eyes over all the disciples and nodded slightly. No one was absent.

"This trip to the border battlefield is extremely dangerous, so you must be careful. I hope that when I return victorious, you will all return to the mountain with me."

He shouted with full force:

"Set off!"

This flying artifact rushed out with a bang, disappeared in the blink of an eye, and headed straight to the north.

Looking at the Xuandu Temple which was already at the horizon, Zhou Qing's heart was filled with excitement.

I am here to slay demons and monsters, and defend the borders! I just want to kill people! On the spaceship, an elder was talking about the precautions after arriving at the border, with the emphasis on the disciples who had received the true teachings.

"Once you are on the battlefield, you must not act on your own. The barbarians are fierce and their army is approaching. Your power alone is minimal. You must not think of being a hero!"

"The sect does not require you to be as disciplined as the Great Qi army, but you must not act recklessly. You must obey orders and follow commands. We will give you many missions."

"On the battlefield..."

Everyone listened carefully, whether they had been to the border or not.

The battlefield is a killing place. Being careless will only have one result, and that is death.

After the elder finished speaking, he asked the disciples to go and rest, and Zhuge Yingyue called Zhou Qing and the others to talk.

"My fellow disciples, when we are on the battlefield, our mission and role are different from other disciples. The enemies we face are also stronger, and we must be able to adapt to the situation."

The inner and outer disciples are more like soldiers, while Zhou Qing and other true disciples are generals, and they need to do different things.

Of course, this is just a metaphor. It does not mean that Zhou Qing and other true disciples will really be asked to become generals and command the army.

Xuandu Temple is a spiritual practice organization, not a military academy. How could they do such a thing?

Leave professional matters to professionals.

Even if there is a true disciple of Xuan Du who thinks he is a natural general and can command a million soldiers without any training, Xuan Du Temple will not allow it.

Zhou Qing asked the question that concerned him most.

"Senior Sister, are there many masters at the Manifestation of Sainthood and Marrow Cleansing Realm among the barbarian army?"

"a lot of."

Zhuge Yingyue said: "And they all took the lead in charging into battle, and were extremely fierce."

"After the war, the Barbarian Demon God's gift contains a benefit that can help those at the Manifestation of Sainthood and Marrow Cleansing Realm advance to the Venerable Realm. Therefore, a large number of Barbarian practitioners at these two realms joined the war, wanting to make contributions like crazy in the hope of receiving a gift after the war."

Xiansheng Xisui's desire to be promoted to a Venerable is far greater than Riyou Liangu's desire to be promoted to a Saint Xisui.

Because this step is related to extending lifespan, who wouldn’t be tempted?

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

If you make a breakthrough, you can continue to live freely in the world. If you can't break through, once the hundred-year period is up, you will turn into dust.

Some mortals in the world can live to be a hundred years old if they are healthy and take good care of themselves.

I am a master in the realm of Manifestation of the Sage and Cleansing of Marrow, but my lifespan is only this long. How can I be willing to accept this?

Death is one of the greatest fears, and given the chance to continue living, few people would refuse it.

This is really desperate work.

The barbarians who are at the Saint Cleansing Marrow Realm are all charging in the front, which is good news for Zhou Qing.

He had many more opportunities.

A practitioner who is in the late stage of Manifestation of Sainthood, or in the perfect stage, or in the ultimate stage of Marrow Cleansing, is only given 0.5 Heavenly Favors. This means that Zhou Qing is destined to kill as many people as possible. If he kills less, he won't be able to gather many Heavenly Favors.

As for the barbarian practitioners who practice the two paths together and whose realms in both aspects are higher than Zhou Qing’s highest realm, it is foreseeable that their number will be small.

Instead of hoping to gain God's favor by killing such barbarians, it would be better to hope to find an opportunity to kill the Barbarian Lord.

Fortunately, there are barbarians to kill this month, otherwise, looking at the harsh conditions for obtaining the Heavenly Favor, Zhou Qing really doesn’t know where to gather enough numbers.

Zhou Qing and the other four got to know each other. Except for Zhuge Yingyue and Shi Yi, the remaining two were Xiao Zhan and Dai Jin, both warriors.

Time passed as they hurried on the road, and soon they entered Beiyuan County.

There are several counties bordering Hanzhou and the grassland, Beiyuan County is one of them. It is also the key attack area of ​​the barbarians this time. People from Xuandu Temple will come to this area and bear greater pressure.

As the state religion of Da Qi, we naturally cannot retreat at this time. It is our duty to shoulder more responsibilities.

As we continued to move north, the wind became stronger and stronger, making it impossible to open our eyes.

Until one moment, Zhou Qing suddenly felt that the energy between heaven and earth had changed.

It is cold and murderous, depressing, dimming the mind and causing evil to rise.

The speed of the flying artifact slowed down. Zhou Qing stood on the boat and looked down. He saw a large black area on the ground, covering all the ice, snow, grass, etc.

Large tents stand in rows all over the land.

At the same time, there are various huge objects standing in the sky.

Some are spaceships, some are palaces, and some are fortresses. They float in the sky, motionless, but they exude a chilling aura.

The ground and the sky were both occupied and on high alert, making them as solid as a rock.

And in the distance, there is a black line stretching across the earth.

We’ve arrived at the border.

The flying artifact that brought Zhou Qing and the others here flew directly to the group of artifacts ahead.

Someone walked out of the fortress palace and talked with the elders of Xuandu Temple. After a while, he turned around and left.

"alright."

An elder turned to Zhou Qing and other disciples and said, "You guys go down. Other things will be arranged by others when the time comes."

"If there is anything, you can report it to the true disciples or elders."

The stairs of light formed again, extending towards the ground.

Zhou Qing and others walked to the ground level, where someone was already waiting. Judging from his clothes, he was a chief deacon of Xuandu Temple.

"Everyone please follow me."

The deacon led Zhou Qing and the others into the group of tents, moving back and forth. They met some other people along the way, all of whom were observing them, but nothing happened.

What would happen if something happened as soon as the people from Xuandu Sect arrived at the front line?

Soon the deacon stopped, looked ahead and said:

"All Xuandu disciples who have arrived at the border are resting here. According to the rules of the military camp, five people below the Bone Refining Realm can live in one tent. Three people in the Bone Refining Realm can live in one tent. People in the Marrow Cleansing Realm can live alone. Men and women cannot live together and must be separated."

"You can form groups freely, and the people remaining at the end will be arranged together."

It is hard to say what the situation is with the border troops of Da Qi, but there are definitely female disciples among the Hanzhou forces that have come to support them.

In a place like this, we must definitely respect the military camp rules.

In the camp in front of us, all the tents have the Yin-Yang Tai Chi symbol on them, representing Xuandu Temple, and all the tents are numbered.

There were other camps in all directions, with various signs on their tents.

"This area is where the sects and families from all sides who come to support the border are settled."

The deacon continued, "If it is not an important matter, do not enter other forces' camps without permission, especially the border army camps, to avoid misunderstandings."

This request is not excessive. It is risky to let people run around in border military camps.

Those who come to support you are fine, they just advise you not to visit other camps. The rules in the Da Qi border army are really strict.

Soldiers are not allowed to visit other places. Even if they walk around their own camp without permission, except for eating, they will be severely punished.

"All the tents in this section are empty. You can go and pick one. Remember your tent number. After you've finished picking, I'll take you to the next place."

"Don't worry, my five disciples. Your residence is in another place. I will take you there later."

Many disciples started to move. Some stayed together with those they knew, while others just found a tent and didn't care.

During this process, the deacon took Zhou Qing and the others away and went to the accommodation arranged for them.

Zhou Qing observed and found that this place was probably in the middle of Xuandu Camp.

"The six true disciples who came to the border a month ago also live here. There are several elders living near you."

They all live alone, of course, but you can live with others if you want.

Zhou Qing randomly picked a tent and took a look at the number.

seven.

This is not based on the order of true teachings, it is all selected randomly.

There are lines on the surface of the tent, and a power is hidden in it. It can be seen that there is something like a ban engraved on the tent, which provides a certain protection.

After the accommodation was arranged, the deacon led them out of the Xuandu camp and walked all the way to a large tent.

There were two guards at the door of the big tent. The deacon went up and said:

"These are the disciples of Xuandu Temple who have just arrived at the front line. I am here to take their names."

"Come in."

"Please the five true disciples come with me first."

After entering the big tent, there were quite a few people inside, all busy with their hands, but there were only three people sitting in the main seat in the middle.

The rightmost person among the three looked like a scholar. He glanced at Zhou Qing and the others and said with a smile:

"There is support from Xuandu Temple again. Fellow Daoist Jiang, Xuandu Temple is truly a blessing for Daqi."

The man on the far left, wearing a Taoist robe, smiled and replied:

"It is our responsibility."

The man in the middle was a sturdy guy. He was wearing armor and had a strong aura, which was completely different from the two men on his left and right.

"The senior disciple of Xuandu Temple, come forward."

Zhou Qing and four others came forward. He looked at them, memorized their faces in his mind, and nodded.

“They are all heroes.”

The man in Taoist robes on the left introduced: "This is General Wu from the Border Army, and this is Lord Bai from Yujing."

As for him, of course he is from Xuandu Temple.

"Which tent do you live in?"

Zhou Qing and the other four said the numbers of their tents in turn. Then General Wu took out five tokens and handed them to them. On them were the numbers corresponding to their tents, and the word "Xuandu" was engraved on them.

"Refine it with your spiritual power, and this order will be bound to you. You will need to show this order when you open the tent or enter or leave the barracks."

Don't underestimate such a token, not everyone can have it.
