Chapter 546: Nian Shiwei
The former site of Yi Zong, where Dongxuying is located, covers an area of hundreds of miles, like an independent little world.
This place was once called the "Xianxia Sect." A hundred years ago, it was destroyed by a curse. Overnight, the entire sect was cursed and transformed into dried corpses like dead plants.
Disciples who are not in the sect, even if they are far away in other places, are no exception.
No one knows what happened.
In short, the area surrounding the Xianxia Sect has become a cursed forbidden zone within the Chiming Realm, and no cultivator dares approach. The curse from a hundred years ago still lingers in the living realm, terrifying and appalling.
The Sentinel Army was responsible for investigating the curse and seemed to have found out the results, but they were not made public. Only the Sentinel Master and the Deputy Sentinel Master knew the truth.
The two of them moved quickly along the stone path, passing through lakes and ancient forests. They did not dare to fly for fear of triggering the invisible formation.
"Yanjue Mountain is close to the realm of the dead, located at the southernmost part of Dongxu Camp, and two hundred miles away from the martial arts field in the front mountain. It is said that all the deceased who died due to the curse of the Yi Sect here were buried in this mountain." Tai Shiyu said.
"How is that possible? A cursed corpse would definitely be burned and disposed of."
Ascending the slopes of Yanjue Mountain, Li Weiyi felt the heat getting hotter and hotter. He asked curiously, "Since you joined the Nianshi Guard, what are you doing in the martial arts field?"
"Send the formation flags! We need to set up a mountain formation in the martial arts field to increase the intensity of the training."
Tai Shiyu continued, "The Sentinel Army originally didn't need a Mind Master. After all, there's no light in the Netherworld, and once a Mind Master's spiritual light is exhausted, it's difficult to recover. However, the formations in the camps and outposts need someone to maintain them, and the talismans to deal with the dead also need someone to refine. Therefore, a separate Mind Master Guard was established!"
"Let me show you something good!"
Tai Shi Yu took out a scroll from his bag in a mysterious manner.
After Li Weiyi took it, he found that this volume was not simple. It was made of paper from the wood of ancient spiritual trees. It could carry spiritual light and could be used to refine formation diagrams and talismans.
Realizing that what was recorded inside was by no means simple, he opened it with great caution.
On the first page of the volume, there is a slender figure imprinted with telekinetic light, similar to a battle portrait.
She was dressed in green, holding a pearl in her hand, with long hair hanging down to her waist, cold eyes, a delicate nose, and towering breasts. Under her girlish and clever face, she had a figure that made people's blood boil.
Next to it, there are also beautifully written introductions and descriptions.
The portrait on the first page is a copy of Qing Zijin, the deputy guard of Nian Shiwei.
Li Weiyi immediately flipped to the second page, where a rubbing depicted a stunningly beautiful woman in armor. She sat on a field in the martial arts arena, exuding a gentle and elegant aura, her complexion fair and smooth.
Looking at the text introduction next to her, she is Tong Yanxue, who ranked fourth in the freshman assessment.
Li Weiyi wasn't a staid, boring person. He read through the entire volume with great interest and closed it. "Are you going to the martial arts arena to deliver the battle flag? Brother Taishi, you're incredibly bold. You've secretly used your telekinesis to copy the aura portraits of so many women. If they find out, they won't let you go. What are you planning on doing? Are you targeting someone in the Dongxu Camp?"
Taishi Yu's nickname is "Qingshi Yu".
He snatched the scroll from Li Weiyi's hand and immediately hid it. "What's the most important thing in mind power cultivation? Resources! One Polar Day True Pill costs 800,000 Yongquan coins."
"The period of being a recruit is full of expenses. We can't just sit there and eat up all the money, right?"
"I plan to create this year's Sentinel's 'Beauty List' and then quietly sell it to make a profit. It won't take much time anyway. Meanwhile, I'll find a woman I like and pursue her. We'll have a romantic encounter and leave a lasting impression."
"You must know that we will likely spend more than half of our future lives in the Cave Ruins Camp and the Realm of the Dead. Only by finding a Taoist companion in the Cave Ruins Camp can our lives be wonderful and brilliant."
"We must be foresighted and act first on this matter, otherwise it will be too late to regret it in the future and let people like Chang Yujian, Lu Qing, and Yuan Zhen get ahead of us. Don't worry! I won't tell Zuoqiu Hongting and Jiang Ning about this. How about you choose first?"
Tai Shi Yu unfolded the scroll and turned the pages one by one.
"I can only appreciate your kindness!"
Li Weiyi held his hand and said, "Brother Taishi, please stop. This is too dangerous. You copied all these spiritual portraits secretly. If they knew about this, they would definitely be furious."
Yanjue Mountain is huge, cutting across the habitat and the secluded land.
Continuing up towards the top of the mountain, a cloud formation was built in the mountains, with palaces, pavilions and caves scattered within. The environment was beautiful, and medicinal fields were dug. Servants and maids were busy in the fields, transporting supplies and feeding exotic beasts.
Li Weiyi thought that if there was a palace here, Yu'er would definitely be very happy.
When we reached the halfway point of the mountain, we finally saw the strong light coming from the top of the mountain.
A crack hundreds of feet long ripped through the air, like an unhealable wound in space. Within the crack, crimson flames burned fiercely, releasing waves of heat.
Li Weiyi stopped and said, "Is that the Soul-Burning Heavenly Fire?"
Tai Shiyu nodded. "It's said that the Sentinel Commander of the Sentinel Spirit Army came from a distant land and used a secret treasure to tear open the barrier of the Skyfire World, leaving behind a void fire abyss to purify and incinerate the cursed monsters here. A hundred years have passed, and this void fire abyss still hasn't closed."
"It's a good deal for us. Practicing telekinesis here is much faster than anywhere else."
Nian Shiwei’s new barracks is already in sight.
The camp was built on a flat area halfway up the mountain, with various buildings standing side by side. As more and more people appeared, the sounds of voices, the roars of animals, and the chirping of insects could be heard from the camp.
As Tai Shiyu walked, he said, "This year's Nianshi Guard has recruited ninety-four sentries. I'm ranked tenth and can lead a team on my own. Why don't you join my team for a year?"
"You are only ranked tenth?" Li Weiyi said.
Tai Shiyu said, "I don't think this ranking is low, on the contrary it is a remarkable achievement."
"I heard that there is an extraordinary beauty in this class of Nian Shiwei, who is known as the best in a certain realm. Is it true?" Li Weiyi suddenly thought of what Qin Lao mentioned, and asked casually.
Tai Shi Yu laughed heartily and said, "You're not pretending anymore? You've asked the right person. I suspect this legendary beauty is the Deputy Guard. If you're interested, you can join the team. She's also the captain... Meet the Deputy Guard!"
Tai Shi Yu's face changed slightly, he clasped his hands together and bowed forward.
Qing Zijin stood upright outside the camp gate, the spiritual light on his body still flickering, and he was performing the teleportation technique.
She was dressed in bright blue, her eyes were sharp, and her skin was crystal clear and radiant, but she was wearing a veil, so her face could not be seen in the portrait of Lingguang.
Qing Zijin heard the conversation between the two clearly: "Tai Shiyu, I sent you to deliver the battle flag, why did it take you so long?"
"It happened that some new recruits were enlisted, so I was delayed for a while."
Tai Shi Yu was unhurried and quickly introduced, "This is Li Weiyi, number one on the Merit List. To earn merit, he missed the new recruit assessment and only just reported to the Nianshi Guard today. He plans to join the Deputy Guard's first team and would like to ask the Deputy Guard to help him make up for the missed classes."
"Are you Li Weiyi?"
Qing Zijin frowned, her eyes indifferent as she looked him up and down. He was completely different from the young and powerful man she had imagined who could defeat Inamiya Zhenchuan.
Too frivolous!
There’s no way around it, it’s based on preconceived notions.
Which young and powerful man with a profound mind asked the most beautiful woman as soon as he arrived?
Too purposeful.
Li Weiyi had a keen sense of perception and sensed an unusual aura from Qing Zijin, one that was definitely not possessed by a spiritualist. He bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Deputy Guard!"
"You are number one on the Merit List. Logically, the two Sentinel Seniors in charge of the Mind Master Guard would agree to join any team. But I am the captain of a team. If I don't agree, you can't join."
Qing Zijin knew very well that once Li Weiyi met the two great holy spirits Yuan Jingsan and Xue Yan, everything would be a foregone conclusion, so she planned to make him retreat in advance.
Li Weiyi glared at Tai Shiyu and then explained, "It's not what the deputy guard thinks..."
"No need to explain. Explaining too much will only make people feel disgusted! If you are really capable and can catch one of my talismans and still remain standing, I will let you join the team."
Qing Zijin stood still, and his aura suddenly changed. His body was like a green mountain, majestic and towering, and a brilliant golden cloud appeared around him.
She had long been curious about the strength of the person who defeated Inamiya Shinden.
A rune was released from between her eyebrows and instantly dissolved into the sky and earth, transforming into dense lightning and thunder.
“Boom!”
Li Weiyi could see that she was a Holy Spirit Mind Master, but he didn't expect that the spiritual light she cultivated was also a different kind.
What I didn't expect was that she would do it without giving me a chance to explain.
There was no time to react. Almost instinctively, Li Weiyi's martial arts combined with the dozens of feet tall Fusang sacred tree to rise up, forming a huge incineration millstone, which collided with the incoming lightning.
"Bang!"
In the Burning Grindstone, Li Weiyi and Tai Shi Yu were pushed back six or seven feet by the power of thunder and lightning.
Qing Zijin gazed at the two lush, bright Fusang sacred trees on Li Weiyi's body. The legend was indeed true. She turned and returned to the camp: "You passed!"
Tai Shiyu exclaimed, "How amazing! She can actually draw the Yin-breaking Thunder Talisman to deal with the dead after only five days of teaching."
"He is a Holy Spirit Mind Master, and he has a different kind of spiritual light. This misunderstanding has become a big deal, you go and explain it clearly!" Li Weiyi said.
"In this situation, if you say you won't join the team, won't that just make the misunderstanding worse? She's already agreed, so don't make things more complicated."
Tai Shiyu swaggered into the camp gate and took Li Weiyi to meet Yuan Jingsan, one of the two instructors of the Nianshi Camp. Afterwards, he officially joined the team.
Now that you are here, make the most of it.
Li Weiyi planned to stay in the first team for a year and then compete for the position of Xiaowei after the annual exam.
For the next period of time, Li Weiyi studied various runes such as the Yin-breaking Thunder Talisman, the Purification Talisman, the Corpse-controlling Talisman, etc. at the Nian Shiwei camp during the day. At the same time, he absorbed the heavenly fire from the Sky Fire Abyss and condensed it in the spiritual world.
At night, he returned to Camp 36, entered the blood mud space, weaved the cocoon of time, and refined talismans.
Half a month passed quickly.
