Chapter 605: Pre-War Preparations
"Hey, brother Shi ran too fast. I wanted to stop you in the square just now, but in the blink of an eye, I couldn't find you." Qing Changtian said.
"Oh, Brother Qing, what do you want me to do?" Shi Mu asked.
"This is the elder brother of my clan. We have been close since we were young. He has been in this floating fortress for more than seventeen years. Now that I have made friends like Brother Shi in the Holy Land, let me introduce him for you. "Qing Changtian pointed to the thin man beside him, and said so.
When Shi Mu took a look, he found that this person's appearance was six to seven points similar to Qing Changtian's, with a hooked nose, high cheekbones, and a somewhat pale complexion. The difference was that his breath was more calm, obviously A celestial warrior.
"Under Qingxuan, the younger brother of the family is taking care of Junior Brother Mengshi in the Holy Land." The skinny man said very politely.
From the tone of the other party, Shi Mu could see that the other party seemed to intend to make friends with him, and since he was new here, he didn't know much about the things in the floating fortress, and he just needed someone to answer questions, so he also cupped his hands and exchanged a few words.
"Where, where."
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they walked up the mountain path, talking while walking.
"Senior brother Qingxuan, I have seen the brutality of the battle here just now on the way here on the battleship. I wonder what kind of mission we are usually sent to perform as new disciples?" Shi Mu asked.
"Recently, the Dark Demons have indeed attacked frequently. In the past half a month, three large-scale battles have broken out. However, according to past experience, once the battle ends today, both sides will start a period of energy accumulation. There should be no more battles in a short time. A large-scale battle broke out," Qing Xuan said.
"I see that there are no less than 100,000 temporary caves on this mountain. Are they all disciples stationed here?" Shi Mu asked.
"That's right. However, only a small number of them are disciples of the three major holy places and their affiliated planetary forces, about 20,000 people, and about 20% of them are heavenly warriors and sun-level warlocks. The rest are There are people from other small and medium forces, of which the earth-level warriors and moon-level warlocks are the main ones. In addition, in the alliance army, there are mainly monster races and various foreign races, and there are not many human disciples like Junior Brother Shi." Qing Xuan said.
"In the sea of stars, there are hundreds of races, and the human race is not inherently dominant, so it is expected that the number of people will be smaller." Shi Mu said.
"Although the number of human races is small, most of the people who may come here are extremely powerful existences. The few people I know are basically the best of the squad leaders, and each of them has made great achievements in battle." Qingxuan said.
"Captain?" Shi Mu frowned.
"Hehe, regarding this matter, Junior Brother Shi will know when he assigns specific tasks tomorrow. In this Floating City Fortress, except for a small number of holy-level disciples sitting in command, the rest of the ground-level disciples will form small teams, and the number of each team is several The number of people ranges from a dozen to a dozen, and there is a celestial or sun-level warlock as the team leader to carry out the tasks arranged by the alliance. No matter whether the task is dangerous or not, the team must strictly implement it, and there is no excuse for any reason. Abandoning the task or refusing to perform it will be punished as a deserter. Usually, deserters will be deprived of their cultivation and demoted to mortals." Qing Xuan said.
"I have heard of these strict regulations before, but I don't know what the rewards promised by the high-level officials of the Holy Land are?" Shi Mu asked.
"The so-called risks and opportunities coexist. Leaving aside the various dangers here, as long as you have the ability to persevere here, you will indeed gain a lot. In addition to rich practical experience, according to the difficulty of the task, and the black demon you killed Clansmen, you can get the corresponding meritorious service, which can be exchanged for various treasures, which naturally include the mysterious spirit points we need. For example, every time you kill a black demon of the earth level, you can get a little meritorious service, which can be exchanged for Ten Profound Spirit Points. As for the early stages of the Celestial Rank, the rewards will directly rise to ten meritorious deeds, and for the late martial artists, it will even reach one hundred meritorious deeds." Qing Xuan said.
"So many!" Shi Mu and Qing Changtian were both overjoyed, and their eyes lit up.
"Hehe, don't be so busy being happy, the Black Demons are not that easy to deal with, so let's try to get as familiar with the environment as possible at the beginning." Qing Xuan chuckled.
In the following time, under the inquiry of Shi Mu and Qing Changtian, Qingxuan gave some explanations about the Three Saints Temple where meritorious service is exchanged, Jiufeng Temple where various tasks are issued, and the trading market, so that The two benefited a lot.
The three chatted for a long time before they dispersed and walked towards their cave.
Shi Mu walked more than ten steps, his heart moved slightly, he turned around and sacrificed the spirit feather speeder, flew through the air, and flew towards the center of the fortress.
Not long after he flew out, his eyes lit up, and he saw a three-story pagoda-like building with dense eaves appearing below. It was covered with a golden mask, and dozens of ring-shaped golden runes appeared on the mask. , moving in circles.
This building is the main hall of the entire alliance, and there are waves of powerful spiritual power fluctuations in it.
And on the left and right sides of the shining golden tower building, there is a hall with exactly the same shape.
There is a layer of purple mask covering the outer part of the main hall on the left, while a layer of cyan mask is covering the main hall on the right.
Shi Mu flew down from the cloud, the token in his hand flashed a golden light, flew into the purple mask without any hindrance, and landed in front of the hall.
He looked up at the lintel of the main hall, and saw a black plaque hanging on it, with three golden characters "Three Saints Hall" written on it.
Shi Mu put away the Lingyu speeding car, walked in with one foot.
The main hall is very empty, basically there are no furnishings, only a tall white jade stele is erected in the middle of the door and on the left and right sides.
In the depths of the main hall, there is a desk, behind which sits a human-looking old man in white, who seems to be the chief elder here.
Seeing Shi Mu coming in, this person only slightly raised his eyelids, glanced at him, then lowered his eyelids again, closed his eyes and meditated.
At this time, apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the hall, which made the originally empty hall even more silent.
Seeing that the elder in charge didn't respond to his intentions, Shi Mu also forgot to salute, moved his eyes to the stone tablet on the left, and looked carefully.
After a while, his steps moved lightly, and he came to the stone tablet in the middle again. After looking at it for a while, he walked to the stone tablet on the right and examined it carefully.
After a round of browsing, Shi Mu found that most of the records on these white jade steles were exercises, secret techniques, spiritual tools, pills, spiritual materials, etc. There was very little exchange information for rare spiritual materials.
However, no matter whether it is a secret skill or a spiritual weapon pill, the merit points required for exchange are almost a hundred points, and some even require more than a thousand points.
Judging from the meritorious rewards that Qingxuan said before, the price is really expensive, no wonder the hall is empty and there are not many people.
While thinking in his mind, Shi Mu continued to read the words on the last stone tablet.
When he saw the bottom of the stele, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a gleam of joy jumped out of his brows and eyes.
Bauhinia Dracula Fruit!
This is one of the four major spiritual materials necessary for cultivating the incarnation outside the body, and it is impressively listed in the exchange list.
Shi Mu's eyes moved to the back, and after only one glance, the joy on his face suddenly subsided.
Six hundred and seventy meritorious service...
It seems that it is not an easy task to obtain the Bauhinia Dharana Fruit. According to the previous ratio, I am afraid that I have to kill at least six late-stage warriors.
When Shi Mu came out of the exchange hall with mixed joy and sorrow, he glanced at the blue hall on the other side of the main hall, and finally chose not to go there. He flew in the direction of the mountains.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the streamer of Shi Mu's avatar crossed the peak of the camped mountain, flew to the back of the mountain, and fell towards a flat square.
As soon as he landed, all kinds of noisy cries and disputes came from Shi Mu's ears.
Contrary to the deserted appearance of the Three Saints Hall, the trading square was crowded with people, making it extremely lively.
Shi Mu looked around and saw a wide square without any trace of planning. All the stalls found a place at random, spread a felt blanket, put their own goods, and started selling.
Shi Mu started to walk along the "cow trail" separated by these stalls, looking around to see if there was any spiritual material he needed.
After shopping for about half an hour, Shi Mu couldn't help being amazed at this trading square.
Perhaps because of the war, the goods here are surprisingly rich, ranging from magical treasures to spiritual materials, which is not much worse than Tongliufang in the Holy Land.
However, Shi Mu also found that although there are many things here, the quality is also uneven and very messy. If you don't have a discerning eye, if you want to buy good things here, you will most likely end up being deceived.
Just now, someone spent hundreds of top-grade spirit stones and bought two bottles of Nether Qi that was of poor quality and almost unusable.
"Senior brother, you look so familiar, have you just come to this fortress? Come on, come on, little brother here has a silver scale breastplate, a very good defensive spiritual weapon. Do you want to get a set? It only costs five hundred top-grade spirit stones. "A green-skinned man with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes saw Shi Mu's expression of great interest. Hurry up and greet him warmly.
Shi Mu didn't even look at him, and walked towards the back.
"Hey...the price can be negotiated, this senior brother..." The green-skinned man still refused to give up and shouted behind him.
At this moment, Shi Mu suddenly paused and stopped.
In his sea of consciousness, the heaven-shaking stick, which had been very calm all this time, suddenly vibrated a bit, and a faint wave of spiritual power came out from the stick.
Shi Mu hesitated for a moment, turned around, and looked at the booth behind him, and saw several sets of silver breastplates and a dark golden stone the size of a human head on the somewhat worn-out felt cloth.
And what makes the sky-shattering stick fluctuate is that seemingly inconspicuous dark golden stone.
Thinking so, Shi Mu turned around and walked back, squatted down, and touched the stone with his hand.
The green-skinned man saw Shi Mu go and come back, his face was filled with a smile, he also bent down, and said with a smile:
"Senior brother, this silver-scale breastplate is a high-grade spiritual weapon, and several kinds of experience in resisting spells are sealed in it. How about a set, brother, how about I give you a 20% discount?" (To be continued .)
