Chapter 433 Recruitment

Outside the south of Jigu City, in Chen Mu's courtyard, two moon burdock trees have grown into towering trees. The huge tree crown that covers most of the courtyard is higher than the roof of the two-story building, and the palm-sized red leaves sway in the wind with a rustling sound.

Chen Mu was lying in a rocking chair next to the round table under the tree.

He rested his right elbow on the armrest of the rocking chair, raised his arm, and let his palm stand in the air.

Accompanied by a long and complex spell, black flames suddenly appeared on his entire right hand.

The flame burned silently, but the palm was intact.

Chen Mu remained calm and focused on the flames for half an hour.

Then the quiet flame began to riot without warning, like a river water pouring out of the gate, rushing quickly from the palm to the arm.

He sat up quickly, thrust his right hand to the side, and the forearm ignited by the flame suddenly sank into the white jade bucket filled with water from the Wangchuan River beside him.

Swish!

White smoke was rising, and Chen Mu's face was twitching with severe pain. He clenched his teeth and stared at the bucket without blinking.

After a long while, when the white smoke stopped appearing, he slowly pulled his arm out. Even though he reacted quickly, the entire forearm of his right hand was still burned by the flames, leaving only a few bones.

"It's really dangerous!" Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ninety percent of the Yin Ling's divine power in his body suddenly dissipated, and his right hand began to build up at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a few breaths, his palm was completely repaired.

"The Yin Ling's divine power will not be restored until tomorrow at the earliest, and it will take time again." He shook his head and threw two jade dew beads into his mouth, crushing and swallowing them like sugar beans.

Based on the characteristics of the Yin Ling, although Chen Mu can use divine power to repair damaged limbs, it is difficult to restore the lost divine power.

If activating the dew-collecting spell is to spend physical energy to work, and it can be restored by eating, drinking and sleeping, then the divine power consumption of limb regeneration is like cutting flesh. It is more about the origin. Only by actively taking in a large amount of jade dew and strengthening the foundation can the old view be slowly restored.

"That's all for today." Without the foundation of Yin Ling's divine power, he dared not practice rashly.

"It's a pity that I still couldn't break through the half-hour limit."

"Flying Flame Sutra" can summon Yin Ling's blue flame to burn Yin Ling's body. The longer the time is endured, the more likely it is that the magical ghost pattern will emerge, and at the same time it can also raise the upper limit of Yin Ling's divine power.

Every time he practices, he has to test near the limit of endurance and try to extend the time a little bit.

If he ends the calcination early out of fear, the limit of endurance will not be expanded, and the practice will be wasted. But if he is too greedy and extends it too much, the flame will immediately riot and spread to the whole body.

It is this kind of practice method that is difficult to accurately define the boundary that makes "Flying Flame Sutra" dangerous and difficult.

Chen Mu called up the gray wall and looked at one of the columns.

Flying Flame Sutra: 5352/10000;

As he gained experience, his speed of summoning green flames increased significantly, and his control over flames also increased.

"Unfortunately, the difficulty of this secret method does not lie in controlling flames."

Even if he reached the top and controlled flames like an arm, he could not accurately control the maximum time he could withstand the burning, which would still cause flame riots.

"Sure enough, I still have to save jade dew to buy more advanced secret techniques to practice."

...

South City Market, Yupinxuan.

"Every time I come to your place, it's always empty. With such a bad business, can you still afford to eat?" Chen Mu teased happily.

"It's better to be good than to be good. Yupinxuan prefers to entertain high-quality customers." Le Yangan laughed happily.

"Hey! I only spend five jade dew beads at most each time, can I still be a high-quality customer?" Chen Mu laughed.

"Of course, Brother Chen is a high-quality customer." Le Yangan looked gentle.

Chen Mu laughed and shook his head.

"Do you want more water from the Wangchuan River?" Le Yangan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Have you ever thought about changing the secret method?"

"I'm already saving money." Chen Mu smiled bitterly.

Le Yangan nodded and took a jade gourd from the shelf behind him.

"It's better to take more jade dew. The more you have, the safer you will be when you practice."

Chen Mu took the jade gourd and agreed with it.

Then he looked at the crowd outside the door with curiosity: "The street is so lively, is there any festival?"

When he entered the city today, he found that there were obviously more pedestrians in the market, and there were even long queues in front of some shops.

"Nothing, it's just that many people will be forced to be recruited as auxiliary soldiers by the North City Camp. They are buying self-defense items to prepare for the expedition."

Are they really going to fight?

Chen Mu was shocked.

When he first learned that Jigu City was recruiting ghost soldiers, he guessed that there might be a war. After more than half a year of peace and quiet, there was indeed movement.

"Who is the enemy?"

Le Yangan shook his head: "I don't know, it depends on the decision of the city lord. I heard that it is not in the underworld."

Not in the underworld? ! Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be the mortal world? !

He immediately thought of the Yinming bug he encountered in Jilong Mountain.

As if he had guessed Chen Mu's thoughts, Le Yangan added: "Although it is not in the Yinming, it is definitely not the thirteen states in the mortal world where we were before."

Chen Mu was a little disappointed, and then asked: "What about the compulsory conscription of auxiliary soldiers?"

"This is the price of accepting the protection of Jiugu City." Le Yangan said calmly: "All residents of Jiugu City must accept the conscription order and follow the army as auxiliary soldiers."

Chen Mu's face suddenly changed: "Don't you already pay thirty jade dew beads in rent every month? Why do you still have to force conscription?"

"You also said that it's rent." Le Yangan shrugged.

Seeing Chen Mu's uncertain face, Le Yangan chuckled: "Don't you worry."

"Jigucheng is not unreasonable. Only Yin spirits who have lived in the city for more than ten years will be forcibly recruited."

"You're new here, so you're not among them."

Chen Mu felt relieved when he heard this.

Tell me earlier!

Scared me!

Suddenly something moved in his heart, and he looked at Le Yangan with some worry: "Boss Le, you..."

"Ah, I'm in this call-up."

Chen Mu was speechless.

…

In the small courtyard.

Chen Mu was lying in the rocking chair.

"According to Boss Le, the war between Yin and Spirits does not exist in the Yin world or the Yang world, so where exactly is it?"

"After all, I have little knowledge and can't think clearly." Chen Mu shook his head.

"Fortunately, I just came here. Otherwise, if I were forcibly recruited, my life or death would be unpredictable."

"And it has been at least ten years since I received the forced sign. Maybe I would have already left Yin Ming by then."

He was secretly happy when there was a knock on the door.

Chen Mu stepped forward to open the door and saw two middle-aged men, one tall and one short, dressed in black.

"But Chen Mu?" the short, fat, white-faced man asked with a smile.

"It's me." Chen Mu nodded.

"Your name has been put on the recruitment order, and you will go out with the army as an auxiliary soldier soon." The tall, thin man in black had a cold face.

Chen Mu's expression suddenly changed.

…

In the west part of the ancient city of Ji, in a bungalow somewhere.

Niu Sanmiao munched on the braised pork.

"That group of people must have been drafted by now. Whoever that bastard is, they've got their comeuppance now."

He took a sip of wine happily.

"Every time we are called up, there are always people who are greedy for life and do not want to go out to fight. It is not uncommon for someone to secretly change their household registration."

"A few new Yin spirits have no money and no one, so they can only accept their fate. Haha!"

Niu Sanmiao felt happy, and the depression for many days was gone.

"It would be better if you don't want to sneak out of the city!"

"Under the summoning flag, it doesn't matter how far you run."

"After being forcibly recalled, I will definitely be thrown into the Youyan Death Soldier Camp. That is the real death without life. Haha!"

Thinking of the joy, Niu Sanmiao was excited, and the magical ghost patterns that had been condensed for a long time began to vibrate slightly!

He was feeling excited when there was a sudden knock on the door.

He walked out of the room in confusion, opened the door and saw two men in black, one tall and one short.

"The city lord has ordered that all Yin soldiers report to the Beida camp immediately and wait to go out with the army."

Niu Sanmiao's expression immediately changed: "Two gentlemen, I am from the patrol camp in the city. I am only responsible for maintaining the stability of the city. How can I be asked to go on an expedition?"

The short man in black smiled and said, "You don't have to go."

"Unless you want to go to Youyan Camp!" The tall man in black said coldly.

Niu Sanmiao suddenly became stiff.
