According to the speed of cultivation here, Yu Qian'an estimated that it would take at least eight to ten years for him to form a golden elixir.
No wonder urban cultivation novels always say that the earth’s spiritual energy is thin. If this ratio is followed, wouldn’t it take Yu Qian’an eight thousand years to form a pill after practicing outside? If he returns to Earth, wouldn’t it take eighty thousand years?
Anyone who has cultivated to become an immortal knows that the average lifespan of a cultivator in the Jindan stage is only five to eight hundred years. If it were on Earth, someone like Uncle Jiu who cultivated until death might still be stuck in the foundation-building stage.
After spending a few days to stabilize his realm, Yu Qian'an officially came out of seclusion. If he did not upgrade the training carriage, he would not have to practice from morning to night every day, because it would be useless.
After leaving customs, Yu Qian'an saw a train flying in the sky, so he curiously asked the people who were looking at the map: "Where are we going?"
Jia Xu: "Congratulations, Boss, for coming out of seclusion. Congratulations, Boss, for your realm breakthrough!"
“…”
After everyone finished congratulating him, Jia Xu explained to Yu Qian'an, "Boss, during the time you were in seclusion, we fought five battles in total. One of the three teams of ghosts that were chasing us was annihilated, one was half-crippled, and one team was intact.
Five tri-color mythical-level monsters were killed, and five hundred gold-level heroes were killed.
Now these two teams want to combine to launch a concentrated attack on us, and we are planning to ambush them on their route."
Yu Qian'an: "Are you going to eat the half-crippled one and then deal with the complete one?"
Jia Xu: "No, we plan to kill the complete one, then surround the half-crippled one and attack the reinforcements. If too many enemies are attracted, we will kill the half-crippled one and attack the city behind them to open a gap in their defense line.
If we can defeat the number of enemies we attract, we can defeat this wave of reinforcements, and then this half of the team. By then, the offense and defense will switch, and the Ghost Emperor will have to change his strategy."
Yu Qian'an: "Show off! You guys continue, don't worry about me, I'm just taking a look. How has our strength improved recently?"
Jia Xu: "All the hero units have reached the level of Tri-Color Mythology, including Li Yunlong and Zhou Xingxing. The three of us have also cultivated to the level of Tri-Color Mythology.
Including the two little ones raised by the boss, they have also completed their transformation into monsters and have reached the realm of three-color mythology."
Yu Qian'an: "So impressive! Very good, what about the others?"
Yu Qian'an has thirteen heroes under his command: Zhao Yun, Zhou Xingxing, Li Yunlong, Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Wuming, Wang Chongyang, Zuo Qianhu, Jiushu, Yan Chixia, Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Cheng Yu. Together with Yu Qian'an himself and the two little ones, he has sixteen three-color mythical-level combat forces.
Although there is still a gap with the thirty under the Ghost Emperor, five have already been lost. Once all the pursuers are killed, it will be sixteen to twenty, not to mention the others. Yu Qian'an has been promoted to more than ten, so there must be no one left from the others, right?
Jia Xu: "During this period, Yang Jiarui and Wang Yang used the boss's immortal sect to cultivate and each had a hero successfully promoted to the Three-Colored Myth.
Ten generals now each have at least ten Golden Heroes, and each team has at least fifty Golden Heroes. Our total number of Golden Heroes has exceeded five hundred, and the conductor has over three hundred Golden Heroes as well."
Eight hundred against two thousand, the advantage is on my side. After all, the other side has to defend so many places, and we don't have to worry about that at all. We can concentrate our forces to fight a few more annihilation battles, and then we can pursue and encircle them.
Yu Qian'an's strength improved rapidly with the help of the train, but this group of local ghosts often had to practice for decades or even hundreds of years to achieve their current achievements, and they would be gone once they died.
From this point of view, the threat posed by this group of ghosts to Yu Qian'an is not even as great as that posed by the werewolves and dog-men.
Yu Qian'an: "What about the remaining werewolves and dogmen? Haven't they been active recently?"
Jia Xu: "We haven't seen them in the area where we've been active recently, but from the snippets of information on the public channel, we can roughly infer that this group of werewolves and dogmen have had several internal conflicts, and it seems that they haven't reached an agreement with the Ghost Emperor, so they are also being surrounded and suppressed.
This is also the reason why we can be so relaxed during this period."
Yu Qian'an: "I feel relieved when I hear that they are not doing well either. Let's not let them take advantage of the situation by having us fight over it. It's inevitable that they will quarrel. It's like dog bite dog, let alone a group of wolves and dogs."
Jia Xu: "These dog-men seem to have a restraining effect on ghosts and monsters. The ghosts' illusions are almost useless against them, especially the black dog clan, which can suppress ghosts of the same level, reducing their combat effectiveness by half.
Originally, the dogmen were just a subordinate race of the werewolves, but over time, the dogmen seemed to have gained a lot of advantages by relying on their racial talents, which led to internal conflicts between the dogmen and the werewolves.
Yu Qian'an: "Does this dog's ability to ward off evil spirits apply here? Why can dogs ward off evil spirits but not ghosts, monsters, and werewolves? What's the logic?"
Jia Xu: "I asked Uncle Jiu and Yan Chixia, and according to them, this dog follows people around and is contaminated by their human energy. The dog eats leftovers and even feces, but does the work of protecting the country and the home, and carries the power of merit.
Moreover, among dogs there are great gods such as Xiaotian Dog and Tiangou, and people also believe in divine dogs among the people.
These are things wolves don't have, so dogs can ward off evil spirits, but wolves can't."
Yu Qian'an: "I've heard before that cows have great merits in the human world. In folk tales, it is said that monsters like to hide under the bellies of cows during thunderstorms to avoid lightning, relying on the merits of cows to avoid disasters. I didn't expect that dogs also have this merit?"
After chatting, Yu Qian'an returned to the Xianmen carriage. Jia Xu and others had been working on the construction here, and Yu Qian'an had never really visited it seriously.
First of all, four of the eight outer mountains are open to the public, and four of the remaining six are open to tourists living there. The spiritual energy on the mountain is richer than that at the foot of the mountain, so the higher you go, the higher the status of the people living there. There is a three-color mythical hero stationed on the top of each mountain.
The four hills open to the outside world are called the Outer Four Gates, while the four hills open to the inside are called the Inner Four Gates.
The four inner gates are divided into weapon refining, alchemy, talismans, and formations. These four are the more important research directions among the current travelers.
One of the two main peaks is exclusively for Yu Qian'an, and on the other are the Transmission Hall, Law Enforcement Hall, Sutra Library, Merit Hall, Spirit Beast Hall and other halls. Yu Qian'an's original passenger merit point system has been continued and turned into the current immortal gate merit system. The original relationship between passengers and train conductors has now become a master-disciple relationship in the sect.
The entire train became a large sect, and those heroes became hall masters or elders.
It's not just Yu Qian'an's car that has become like this. Most of the trains here are now in this style.
