From the power of space to the heavens 2

Chapter 1031 1029. The Oolong Incident at the First Meeting

The Luoshen tribe’s base is a city.

Strictly speaking, it is a city within a city.

In this vast world, whether it is a family or a sect, including all forces, they are often divided into three types when choosing a place to stay.

The first one is a city within a city.

The second type is Independence City.

The third type is to occupy a precious land.

Among these three types, the first and third are very common, while the second is relatively rare. Among the first and third, the first is more common. After all, it is really hard to find a treasure land.

In short, according to mainstream ideas.

If there is a treasure land, you must find it. At most, you can build houses around the treasure land, or build houses directly on top of the treasure land. A standard treasure land can ensure that a force will prosper under normal development. Even after thousands of years, the Taoism will still exist, provided that the above principles are not violated.

Break down the information and summarize it.

The emphasis is on standards and normal development.

A standard piece of precious land must take into account two characteristics and many subsidiary functions. In other words, it must have the ability to average quantity and the ability to develop sustainably. The former ensures the stability of the output of the precious land, and the latter ensures that the precious land will not be exhausted. The subsidiary functions depend on how the precious land is developed and utilized.

Take a simple example.

The Lava Valley, chosen as a treasure land by a sect skilled in casting, first of all, has a clear value for the fluctuation of the magma, and will not suddenly create waves due to some unknown changes; secondly, there will be a clear estimate of the quality and total amount, and it will not dry up due to some common reasons; finally, it is time to consider what kind of bonus these magmas can bring to the casting process, because most of the weapons have to go through the quenching stage, from small spiritual weapons to large artifacts or holy weapons, even the Heavenly Emperor Sword is just a spiritual embryo before it is formed. In the casting process, there are unparalleled requirements for details.

Let me give you another simple example.

The Hundred Flowers Valley, chosen as a treasure land by a sect that excels in refining medicine, first of all, will have a clear value in the fluctuation of the earth veins. Secondly, there will also be a clear estimate of the produced herbs, so that the roots will not be damaged by planting too many. Finally, it is necessary to consider what kind of medicinal materials the Hundred Flowers Valley can enhance the growth rate of, and what kind of medicinal materials will be most enhanced.

Therefore, standard treasure lands are really rare.

The Daluo Golden Pool in the Daluo Realm is proof of this.

Even though Mandala had not been in charge for many years, he was able to thrive in Daluo Realm with the support of several supreme beings.

The role played by Daluo Jinchi in this is unquestionable.

And if there is no treasure land.

City within a City is also a good choice.

As the name suggests, a city within a city is a city with a garrison as the main city, and a larger city is built around it to accommodate the main city.

The advantage of this approach is that the city's economy develops relatively rapidly.

After all, the main city is for our own people to live in.

The outer cities are used to attract business or recruit people.

With more caravans and more people, the flow of money will naturally be faster, and as long as the money circulates, the economy will develop relatively well.

The disadvantage is that it is easy to be infiltrated by opponents.

After all, since the city-within-a-city model is implemented, it is necessary to welcome everyone who comes. Once the opponent sends people to infiltrate the outer city and deliberately muddy the waters, this will not only cause trouble to the actual controller of the main city and divert energy, but will also make other caravans afraid.

No one wants to put themselves in an unsafe place.

Unless absolutely necessary.

So, this is the downside of a city within a city.

The forces that can afford the city-within-a-city model are either incredibly powerful themselves or have incredibly strong personal connections.

The five major spiritual temples are typical examples.

Take Beicang Lingyuan as an example.

The college is the college, and the city is the city.

Although that's what it says in name.

But judging from the area the academy covers and the size of the outer city built around the academy, if a cultivator who cannot fly runs from the outer city gate to the gate of the Beicang Lingyuan at the normal speed of a human being, it would take more than two months, or even three months. The area it occupies is simply terrifying.

Moreover, the investment is staggeringly large.

After all, to establish such a large academy, and then to build a larger city around it, the initial investment is unimaginably huge.

Fortunately, there is no land purchase qualification in the world.

Whoever has the bigger fist owns the land.

We only need to consider the raw materials.

Otherwise, the price of purchasing the land alone is enough to bankrupt an Earth Supreme. Adding the expenses incurred during the construction of the city, even a Sky Supreme would grit his teeth in pain.

Therefore, the Luoshen tribe played the second method.

They built their settlement into a city.

Keep a strict control on this city.

This is also the reason why Luo Li was unable to teleport Lu Yuan directly to the clan.

no way.

Because the Luoshen clan is at war with the Xueshen clan.

In order to prevent the Blood God Clan from teleporting directly to the base through some teleportation array, and then tearing a big hole in the Luoshen Clan's defense line from the inside to the outside, the Luoshen Clan can only temporarily close all the teleportation arrays in the city. This is also the difference between an independent city and a city within a city.

The city within a city can set up a teleportation array to the periphery.

Make sure that practitioners can teleport directly to nearby locations.

If the Independence City shuts down the teleportation array, the only way to complete the last leg of the journey and ensure arrival at the destination is by teleporting to a nearby city and then walking. This is a relatively inefficient way.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan is the supreme.

Possesses the ability to tear open space and descend.

This last section of the road is not particularly difficult to walk.

However, when they arrived near the Luoshen tribe’s base, they were stopped.

One point worth mentioning is that no matter it is an independent city or a city within a city, they are both nicknames. An independent city does not necessarily have to be covered by city walls, and a city within a city does not necessarily have to be covered by city walls. After all, in front of a strong man, no matter how good the city wall is, it is just a decoration. Even if various formations are engraved on the wall, the result is the same. The Nine-Star Fox Clan was an example.

Therefore, most of the time, the role of city walls is just decoration.

Another meaning is to divide inside and outside.

This is very obvious in the layout of the city within a city.

Always remind others of the difference between the inner city and the outer city.

But there are no city walls around the Luoshen tribe.

There are mostly rolling hills and the tranquil Luo River.

In other words, the Luoshen tribe built their settlements on the mountains and by the water.

There is no need for walls, and it won’t look bare.

However, the absence of city walls does not mean the absence of the most basic defensive capabilities.

Although everyone knows it.

It was unlikely that the Blood God Clan would come here. If the Blood God Clan really dared to come, it would be equivalent to putting itself in a passive situation and enduring the siege from all sides by the Luoshen Clan.

But everything is possible.

  What if the Blood God Clan really comes?

Therefore, the most basic vigilance is still necessary!

What's more, it's wartime now, and Lu Yuan did not deliberately conceal the fluctuations caused by tearing the space. It was normal to be stopped. The only thing that surprised Lu Yuan was the attitude of the blocker.

"Miss?"

"Who is this?"

A small team came quickly from a distance.

The leader is a cultivator at the Tongtian realm.

Behind this Tongtian Realm cultivator were three Huatian Realm cultivators and six Rongtian Realm cultivators, forming a standard ten-man tactical team, and confronted Lu Yuan and Luo Li head-on.

And these two sentences came from the mouth of this practitioner in the Tongtian realm.

Then, his attitude obviously took a 180-degree turn. Before Lu Yuan could answer, his eyes gradually became filled with contempt: "It is wartime now. No one who is not from our Luoshen Clan or invited by our Luoshen Clan is allowed to enter without permission. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a determined enemy of our Luoshen Clan!"

After saying this, he seemed afraid that Lu Yuan didn't realize it.

He deliberately added: "No matter who you are, you must abide by this rule!"

Luo Li's face turned visibly colder.

She just has a cold personality.

Not stupid.

Lu Yuan is her boyfriend.

Is there any difference between not giving face to Lu Yuan and not giving face to her?

No!

  What's more, the intention of this strange tribesman against Lu Yuan was already very obvious. Although it was not clear who was standing behind the other party, or in other words, it was not clear what side the other party stood on, but he wanted to use this method to intimidate her. Not only did he despise her, Luo Li, he even had no respect for her!

Therefore, Luo Li asked directly: "What realm are you in, what is your identity, and how dare you speak nonsense to us here?"

"Miss, why do you have to speak for outsiders?"

"My cultivation and realm are not very high."

“Only in Tongtian realm.”

"I am the captain of the patrol team."

"It's nothing in front of you."

"But the rules I just mentioned were set by the clan leader, and everyone in the Luoshen clan, including us, is abiding by them!"

"If you insist on making an exception."

"I really don't have the authority to do so."

The patrol team leader quickly defended himself.

The reasons given are impeccable.

But these little tricks could not be hidden from Luo Li or Lu Yuan.

Therefore, without Lu Yuan saying anything, Luo Li confronted him directly: "Are you using my grandfather to pressure me, or are you deliberately trying to sow discord between him and me? Or is it because of naivety, or because of some interests that I don't know about, you are calculating me, trying to intimidate me or do things according to the rules?"

Luo Li clearly wanted to put the blame on the captain of the patrol team. Of course, the captain of the patrol team was also aware of this.

However, the difference in status meant that he couldn't talk to Luo Li in a rhetorical manner, otherwise, he would be taken down directly.

After all, no matter how weak Luo Li's presence in the Luoshen Clan is, she is still the young master of the Luoshen Clan and the granddaughter of the clan leader who is respected as the eldest lady. He is just a small patrol captain. Although Tongtian Realm is stronger, it depends on who he is compared with. In the Beiling Realm, he may be considered one, but as far as the current situation is concerned, he can't even beat Li Xuantong, the second on the Tianbang of Beicang Lingyuan. In front of the many supreme elders in the Luoshen Clan, he is just an insignificant little figure.

The rules of the Luoshen tribe are quite strict.

There will be nothing wrong if you follow the rules.

But if you make the following difficulties, the consequences will be very serious.

Therefore, even if Luo Li put the blame on him, the captain of the patrol team could only pretend to be pitiful and evade the question with a wry smile: "Miss, this is the order of the clan leader. No one can disobey it. I am only doing my duty. Even if you misunderstand me, or even take your anger out on me and the team members behind me because of this matter, we really can't help you cover it up. How about you go back and talk to the clan leader and bring back the amnesty order?"

"Let me explain it again."

"He is my boyfriend."

"Not an outsider."

"Now, are there any questions?"

Luo Li slowly raised her hand and pressed it on the hilt of the sword.

The patrol team leader's expression changed slightly.

Behind the captain of the patrol team, several team members looked at each other, and their hesitation could be seen from their eyes.

After all, Luo Li's attitude was already very clear.

If she still can't convince him, she plans to resort to violence.

On the premise that Luo Li personally admitted that this strange young man was her boyfriend, no matter how much dissatisfaction she had, from the perspective of the rules, Luo Li's reasons undoubtedly did not violate the rules. If the weight of boyfriend was not enough, Luo Li could even raise it a level and directly evolve it into fiancé, completely blocking their retreat, and then, reasonably use the rules to check and balance them.

But if the situation gets to that point.

The people behind them can't protect them either.

What awaits them will be the punishment of being sent to the front line.

Judging from the current front-line situation.

It's no different than putting your head on your belt.

The Blood God's attack was too fierce.

The supreme ones on the front lines often fall.

It's really not worth it to sacrifice yourself for a difficult task that you came up with on the spur of the moment. There is no medicine for regret in this world.

Therefore, after a moment of stalemate, the captain of the patrol team took a step back, but there was still a strong metaphor in his words: "Miss, the Blood God Clan has been very powerful recently. The clan has suspected that this is the tacit approval of the Western Heaven War Emperor behind the scenes. Therefore, there are only two ways to help our clan get out of this predicament. The first is to let the Western Heaven War Emperor mediate, and the second is to let other holy heaven supremes and the Western Heaven War Emperor form a check and balance relationship, such as the Yan Emperor who passed by a few years ago. At this critical juncture, you still have to be careful. It is inevitable that there will be some people with ulterior motives who will deceive you under the banner of being close to you, or steal some confidential information from the clan."

Luo Li was obviously stunned for a moment.

Lu Yuan was also visibly stunned.

I see. The captain of this patrol team obviously belongs to the faction that supports marriage. However, he has also obviously made a mistake in targeting the wrong person.

Although Luo Li and Lu Yuan both disliked this kind of marriage based on interests.

But one thing that cannot be denied is that the relationship between Luo Li and Lu Yuan was not affected in any way, so instinctively, they did not think about it in this regard.

However, not thinking about it that way doesn’t mean that Lu Yuan doesn’t meet the requirements.

Therefore, in a sense, the captain of the patrol team did not reject Lu Yuan, but the Lu Yuan he did not reject was the Lu Yuan from the Endless Fire Domain, not this Lu Yuan whose identity was unknown.

This sudden reversal left Luo Li at a loss for words.

Lu Yuan was even more at a loss for words.
