Volume 29 Chapter 15

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Tie opened his eyes.

Zhang Tie looked at the earth element crystal in his hand that had completely lost its golden luster and began to show a pale milky background, shook his head slightly and gave a wry smile, finished his meditation, raised his feet down, and then the one in his hand was gone. Useless crystals were placed on the table in the room.

On that table, there were seven rows of earth element crystals neatly placed, three in each row. At this time, all the earth element crystals had become like the one in Zhang Tie's hand, from gorgeous to plain, and the crystal The pure earth element has been evacuated, and the earth element crystal at this time is like an empty bottle left after drinking wine, it has no effect.

Zhang Tie looked up at the time displayed on the wall clock in the room.

—December 29.

Unknowingly, this time I have been cultivating in the underground palace for a month and a half, and the twenty-one earth crystals in my hand are also consumed quickly, and the twenty-one earth crystals have not lasted for two months. It's already sold out. This is still because I only use a quarter of my ability to extract the earth elements in the crystal. If I use all my abilities, the twenty-one earth element crystals are not enough for me to consume for two weeks.

The training this time also made Zhang Tie fully understand the extremely difficult and long road to condensing the second chakra and advancing to the rank of Earth Knight.

Because of the relationship between "Abacus Mind Calculus" and the glorious fruit that almost doubled his spiritual power just eaten, Zhang Tie can now use his mind and mind to transform his spiritual power in the elemental world Use four hands to capture those earth element crystals. The speed of its cultivation has been increased by four times, but that's it. After one and a half months of cultivation, the progress of the second chakra of the "Wujianpeng King Sutra" has been condensed. , has just completed about one-sixth of a scale.

Zhang Tie estimated that if he continued to cultivate in this state simply by expelling the increase in the cultivation effect brought about by the twenty-one earth element crystals, then it would take at least eleven months to advance to the level of black iron. The realm of the knight's second scale.

What does this mean? That is to say, in the current state, if you want to condense the second earth chakra of the "Infinite Peng King Sutra", you have to practice hard for 330 years.

This is still the result of my being able to focus on four tasks, and if I still cultivate at the speed of single-minded use, and I practice until I die, I will use up the knight's lifespan of about 400 years, even if I let myself live to 500 years old. Those who can circle within the realm of the Black Iron Knight with Hundred Scales will never be able to advance to the level of the Earth Knight throughout his life.

It is very difficult for the black iron knight to condense the second chakra. For every black iron knight, this is a long journey. The complexity and hugeness made this difficulty many times higher, and the level of the Earth Knight lying in front of Zhang Tie became the peak of piercing into the sky.

Zhang Tie was completely speechless about the result of working hard for 330 years to advance to the rank of Earth Knight with one mind and four tasks, and more than 1,300 years of hard work with one mind and one task. He knew that in ancient times, in those splendid civilization eras, people's cultivation could not be so hard. In the cultivation of that era, there must be more ways to increase the speed of cultivation a lot—sufficient to luxury high-quality Earth element crystals, a more powerful gathering array, or some more secret methods and stuff to assist in practice, only under the combined effect of these conditions, can the practitioners of the knight realm of that era continue to raise their own realm. ·March into higher realms one by one, otherwise, there would be no cheats such as "The Infernal Peng Wang Jing" and "Po Rijing".

And this era,

All the resources that allow knights to speed up their cultivation have become scarce. Therefore, in this era, the core task and issue of knights' cultivation is to obtain and monopolize more cultivation resources that can speed up the concentration of their own chakras. Only in this way can the vast majority of knights be able to advance again and set foot in a higher field in their lifetime.

The later generations are stepping forward in the footsteps of the predecessors. The changes in the cultivation environment have made it impossible for these latecomers of this era to walk as easily as the predecessors.

Zhang Tie, who was staying at the bed, came to the open space outside the room, and was slowly punching a set of iron-blooded fists with a slow and dignified rhythm, exercising his muscles, bones, energy and blood.

At this time, the iron-blooded fist in Zhang Tie's hands showed a completely different state. It had already grown from the positive and the negative, and changed from rigidity to softness. , although Zhang Tie's movements were slow, the air in the entire underground palace was driven by him, and small cyclones naturally formed around him. The cyclones were like eddies driven by ocean currents in the sea. Following Zhang Tie's movements, they appeared one by one and disappeared one by one.

Zhang Tieren was moving according to the intention of the fist, but his mind was seriously thinking about his future cultivation path, sorting out the gains and insights from this cultivation.

At this time, Zhang Tie is very clear about the problems and solutions he has to face. From the present point of view, the most direct and powerful thing that can speed up his cultivation is the Earth Element Crystal. As long as he can obtain enough high-quality Earth Element Crystals, Then, the speed at which you can condense the second chakra can be greatly accelerated. However, such things as earth element crystals are too rare. The Norman Empire only took out 20 pieces of gifts in the turning round ceremony. The earth element crystal, for me, is completely a drop in the bucket, not even enough to plug the teeth, and its effect is very limited.

It seems that I have to pay more attention to the matter of the Earth Element Crystal in the future.

In addition to the Earth Element Crystal, the second way for me to improve my cultivation speed is to continue the multi-tasking practice of "Zhu Xin Shen Shan", but my current state of multi-tasking is already the limit of my current ability, which is the result of my long-term accumulation. As a result, to reach the next step of the state of one mind and five tasks, it seems that you have to accumulate slowly.

In the end, the only thing that can increase the speed of cultivation is foreign objects such as Juyuan Array or other unknown secrets. The Mountain of Light has trading information for these things, but those trading places are mainly concentrated in the Eastern and Western Continents. , It is a face-to-face transaction between knights. In a remote place like the Weiyi subcontinent, in the Mountain of Light, there is almost no transaction information at all, and more than 70% of those transactions are barter. Some of them are exchanging Earth Element Crystals. This Earth Element Crystal seems to have become a kind of hard currency among the black iron knights. There are not many things that can really be bought with gold, and apart from Juyuan Tower, I really can’t get much money at this moment. To exchange more things, it seems that to get these things, it can only depend on chance.

The Three-Eyed Society and the Demon Race can buy the knights of the human race. The Three-Eyed Society and the Demon Race should have a lot of good things in their hands.

Zhang Tie's thoughts finally stayed on the few pieces of knight equipment and potions that he found from the three-eyed knight he killed in the Cernes war zone...

The fist wind in the underground palace quietly became more chilling...

After one punch, the blood in his body began to become lively again, and the future path of cultivation became clear in his mind. Zhang Tie retracted his fists, stood up, flicked his clothes, and walked out of the underground palace.

As soon as Zhang Tie opened the door of the underground palace, the legion commander Xingyuan outside knew it. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Tie returned to the ground from the underground palace, the first thing Zhang Tie saw was the director Xingyuan of the legion commander Xingyuan.

At this moment, the sun had just set and the weather outside was a bit gloomy, and the chill in the air was a bit bit colder than when Zhang Tie entered the underground palace.

Seeing Zhang Tie again, Director Xingyuan felt that he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and the aura on the elder Mu Shenchang's body became more profound, especially the eyes, which seemed to have the power to penetrate gold and iron. It was mainly the result of Zhang Tie eating the fruit of brilliance, and his mental power surged. Of course, the effect of other fruits would also be reflected in Zhang Tie's aura, but the Director Xingyuan didn't know it. He thought it was Zhang Tie. As a result of the practice, my heart is awe-inspiring, and my attitude is even more respectful.

"Is there anything going on during this time?" Zhang Tie asked casually.

"Everything is normal!" Director Xingyuan said, and handed over the three briefings of the Hurricane Legion in his hand.

After Zhang Tie took the briefings, he scanned each briefing ten lines at a glance, and the information on it was completely clear by heart. After reading the three briefings, it took Zhang Tie less than twenty seconds.

For Zhang Tie, there are only two really important things for the Hurricane Corps in the past month or so—the adjustment of the third-level combat force of the Hurricane Corps has been completed, and the subordinate regiments of the Hurricane Corps have begun to station in the three cities and take over the city defense of the three cities in an all-round way and law and order.

"After the Lantern Festival, the first batch of elite special forces can go to the Kale Mountains to prepare for future battles!" Zhang Tie casually set the time for the Hurricane Legion's ninth-level team to go to the Kale Mountains. The time, counting, is half a month after the end of the year.

After the organization adjustment, on the premise of not affecting the combat power of other troops as much as possible, the entire Hurricane Legion can be transferred to form a troop with a combat power of level nine or above. Level three, these people will form the elite special operations brigade of the Hurricane Corps, and the entire brigade will be divided into three teams, responsible for the Hurricane Corps' battle in the Carre Mountains theater.

Zhang Tie sighed secretly. The combat power of a Hurricane Legion above level 9 and below level 13 is only equivalent to two battalions of any Demon Legion. The power contrast is too great. Only when all the forces are united can they barely compete with that demon army. If they fight alone, no legion will be the opponent of that demon army.

For these fighters, there will be a bitter battle in the Kalei Mountains in the future.

Director Xingyuan quickly wrote down Zhang Tie's order in his notebook.

"Also, the mobile unit responsible for taking over the work has to make a separate financial report every quarter and calculate independently. All the pensions of the soldiers of the mobile unit are paid at five times the average pension of the mercenaries of several major mercenary groups in Ames. , since you want to make money, then show your energy and look like you are making money. If the mobile unit loses money for two consecutive months, the commander will automatically resign, transfer from the command post of the mobile unit, and replace it with someone who can do it go up!"

Zhang Tie said as he walked, and the director Xingyuan followed Zhang Tie while quickly recording, and the pen used to record the order did not stop.

"Decree the garrison regiment, starting from January 1 next year, in the three cities under Huaiyutang's command, those who trafficked human beings into slavery, those who raped women into prostitution, those who raped women, and those who robbed other people's property will be killed. If it is found that officials and merchants colluded with officials to accept bribes, if the amount of bribes received by officials exceeds one gold coin, the property will be converted into gold coins for the officials to swallow by themselves. If they do not die, they will not be blamed. All will be confiscated, thieves will cut off their fingers, swindlers will cut off their ears, and others who violate other laws and regulations of Huaiyuan Hall will be punished twice! At the same time, the Hurricane Legion Military Law Department and Legion Chief Xingyuan will jointly set up a circuit military court to supervise the military discipline of the three city garrison corps, touring military All trials and cases accepted by the court must be announced to the public in newspapers, and I will see all second-instance cases in the briefing. If the garrison corps seriously disturbs the people and seriously violates military discipline and military laws, let the corps leader come to Xingyuan to explain to me in person .”

Zhang Tie's third order can be said to be murderous, especially the one in which officials and merchants colluded. This swallowing of gold was originally a way of suicide. Well, if the officials are allowed to swallow the gold coins they accept, then those who accept bribes of more than one gold coin will face catastrophe, and those who accept bribes of more than ten gold coins will basically die. A red line has been drawn between the businessman and the normal dealings and bribery. Those who dare to accept black money should weigh in advance whether they can put the black money in their stomachs.

The establishment of circuit military courts to directly pay attention to the second-instance cases that refused to accept the first-instance judgment is the sharp sword of military law and discipline that Zhang Tie raised on the heads of all Hurricane Legion soldiers and officers. Iron is never soft.

Zhang Tie, who was born in an ordinary family in Heiyan City, knows that it is not easy for a small person to survive. When they opened a rice brewing shop in Heiyan City, there was a tax official who came to make things difficult for him and extort bribes. But it was this little person who made Zhang Tie's father and mother sad all day long, and almost made the rice brewing shop that subsidized the Zhang family's livelihood unable to open. Until later, Zhang Tie's elder brother joined the city of Heiyan City Wei Jun, take a few friends and find a chance to teach that little tax official a hard lesson, and that tax official became honest...

At that time, the holy war had not yet come, and Black Flame City was still relatively peaceful, but even in that peaceful environment, it was not easy for little people to survive. Ordinary people who came to Huaiyuan County accidentally encountered a few bullying bastards or were slightly tricked by unscrupulous officials and businessmen, and their families might be ruined and countless tragedies in the world would be staged.

But at this time, if he resorted to severe punishments and thunderbolts to frighten Xiaoxiao and protect the weak, Zhang Tie felt that he was sorry for his life in Heiyan City during those years and his title of knight.
