A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

Lin Yang returned to the stronghold of the rogue cultivators.

After learning that the black-robed man who had robbed and killed him was a disciple of the Rainbow Cloud Sect, he decided to be more careful in the future.

He also relayed this message to Shi Jie and the other two, warning them to be careful of the disciples of the Rainbow Micro Sect.

For the next period of time, Lin Yang stayed in the stronghold of independent cultivators, systematically studying formations and improving his cultivation.

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Tens of thousands of years have passed without anyone noticing.

Lin Yang's cultivation level has also reached the eighth level of the Dao Realm.

Over the years, his spiritual practice has not encountered any obstacles.

Each advancement in cultivation went extremely smoothly.

However, compared to the smooth improvement in cultivation, the formation aspect has reached a temporary bottleneck.

In the tens of thousands of years, he only comprehended two new advanced magic arrays.

Including the one I initially comprehended, I currently only possess three advanced magic arrays.

Before acquiring a powerful magic array inheritance, he had basically reached his limit.

"I need to make some plans for the Dao Fire Pill."

That day, Lin Yang stopped cultivating, his eyes flashing.

For tens of thousands of years, he has been focused on improving his cultivation and has hardly ever left the stronghold of rogue cultivators.

They hadn't collected many materials for Dao Fire Pills, and they didn't even have a single finished Dao Fire Pill.

"Although I have been selling magic arrays for tens of thousands of years, I have used most of it for cultivation. At present, I only have tens of millions of yuan sand, which is only enough to buy one Dao Fire Pill at most. It is far from enough."

Lin Yang pondered that, given the current situation, it was absolutely necessary for him to consider finding another way to make money.

It would take far too long to accumulate enough money for a few more Dao Fire Pills by selling magic arrays.

He couldn't possibly wait tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years without cultivating, just to refine magic arrays and sell them to accumulate wealth.

Putting aside other factors, simply selling a large number of magic arrays within a certain period of time will reduce the value of the magic arrays.

After all, he wasn't the only array master in the loose cultivator stronghold, and there were even more array masters in White Blaze City.

Therefore, it would take even longer to accumulate enough money for the remaining Dao Fire Pills by selling magic arrays alone.

Lin Yang didn't want to wait, nor could he afford to wait.

"If only we could get our hands on a top-tier magic array inheritance, the value of a top-tier magic array would be twice that of a high-level magic array."

Lin Yang sighed.

Unfortunately, there are no top-tier magic array inheritances for sale within the strongholds of independent cultivators.

They occasionally appear in Baichi City, but they are priced exorbitantly, and he simply cannot afford them.

"Does this mean I have no choice but to work for the Yun family?" Lin Yang couldn't help but consider the invitation from the Yun family's shopkeeper.

His cultivation speed and success rate in crafting magic arrays made the shopkeeper of the Yun family's shop in the stronghold value him highly.

If you agree to join the Yun family, you will receive a top-tier magic array inheritance.

Of course, the price to pay is to become a magic array master for the Yun family and work for them.

Although there are always gains and losses, joining the Yun family ultimately became one of Lin Yang's alternative plans.

"Let's go to Blazing City first to buy a Dao Fire Pill, and while we're at it, let's sell the magic arrays we've accumulated over the years."

Lin Yang temporarily put aside his many thoughts, tidied himself up, and prepared to go to Baichi City again.

Although he sold some magic arrays to the Yun family's shops among the rogue cultivators over the years, he still kept some on himself.

The main reason is that his success rate in creating magic arrays is incredibly high.

Even though only a portion of them have been sold over the years, it surprised the shopkeeper of the Yun family's store, who then tried to win him over.

In order to prevent the shopkeeper of the Yun family shop from discovering his true success rate and the truth of his plan, Lin Yang kept a portion of the magic array, intending to resell it in Baichi City.

Selling them separately makes it seem less outrageous.

Lin Yang originally planned to take advantage of this trip into the city to have a small get-together with Shi Jie and the others, but since all three of them had other things to do, he had no choice but to give up and go to Bai Chi City alone.

They sold the remaining magic arrays at the Star Prophecy Tower branch, purchased some array flags and other materials, and finally bought a Dao Fire Pill.

Then, just as Lin Yang was preparing to return to his base as a rogue cultivator, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, a large number of serpents emerged around Baichi City, gathering into a massive swarm that surrounded the city.

The swarm of swarms is attacking the city!

Upon hearing this news, Lin Yang's expression changed.

In the early Yuan Dynasty, the worms were ubiquitous on the ancient continent. Worship swarms of worms frequently attacked cities.

Each siege by the swarm of swarms resulted in massive casualties.

However, Baichi City was attacked very few times, in fact, very few times.

Lin Yang never expected that he would encounter this.

The good news is that he hasn't left the city yet, so he's much safer inside.

"Fortunately, I came to Baichi City. If I had stayed in the stronghold of rogue cultivators, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Lin Yang was also somewhat fortunate, because the stronghold of the rogue cultivators was not far from Bai Chi City.

The swarm of swarms, attacking Baichi City from all directions, will inevitably pass through that stronghold of rogue cultivators.

However, the defensive and resistance forces of the scattered cultivator strongholds were utterly inadequate in the face of this terrifying horde of worms.

It's estimated that the swarm raided the strongholds of the independent cultivators along the way.

"I wonder how many people will die a violent death."

Lin Yang sighed softly.

The city was now on high alert.

When a massive swarm of swarms of swarms was detected to have suddenly appeared, the city of Blazing immediately activated its magic array for preemptive defense.

Meanwhile, the city's guards also quickly assembled to prepare for battle.

The residents of the city all had serious expressions, some even showing signs of panic.

Because the number of swarms detected was simply too large.

There are an alarming number of them.

A vast and imposing group.

It's not just in one direction, it's in all directions!

Although the vast majority of them were just ordinary worms, judging from their numbers and momentum alone, Bai Chi City would have little chance of resisting them.

After all, Baichi City is just an ordinary city, not a super metropolis.

"How could there be such a terrifying swarm of Necromancers attacking the city? This is the scale of an attack on a large city!"

Someone muttered to themselves, utterly puzzled.

The city of Baichi has been besieged several times in history, and the size of the swarm has always been average. The current size of the swarm is clearly that of a large city under siege!

"It's over, we're doomed! We absolutely can't hold onto White Blaze City! Everyone, escape as fast as you can!"

As the swarm drew a little closer, desperate cries erupted from the crowd.

"Escape? We're surrounded on all sides, where can we escape to? There's no way we can escape!"

"They're here to destroy the city! Let's try to survive as long as possible."

The shouts of the people rose and fell.

Panic.

However, just as despair filled everyone, a deep, solemn voice came from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion:

"Everyone, the City Lord's Mansion has requested reinforcements from the Far East Prefecture and surrounding sects and families. The reinforcements are on their way. Please join us in resisting the siege of the swarm. If we can hold on a little longer, there may still be hope for our survival!"

It was the voice of City Lord Bailiwei.

His words conveyed a sense of determination.

Clearly, the shepherd's horde was so large that even the city lord was under considerable pressure.

He then said a few more words, urging everyone to fight together.

With the city lord's mobilization efforts, the emotions of the people in the city gradually stabilized.

The current situation is very clear; there is absolutely no chance of escaping.

Only by fighting alongside the guards at this moment, resisting for as long as possible, and holding out until rescue arrives, might there still be a chance of survival.

"Everyone, please immediately proceed to the nearest section of the city wall to assist in the defense!"

People from the city lord's mansion began to appeal.

Lin Yang's eyes flashed as he sensed the terrifying swarm rapidly approaching Bai Chi City. Without hesitation, he went to the nearest city wall.

This is a crisis that concerns the life and death of everyone.

He had nowhere to hide. (End of Chapter)
