Who cares about childhood sweethearts when they can become immortals?

Chapter 193 Mineral Lode
Although the No. 72 Xuanling Mine is not a large resource point, it is naturally impossible to rely on Xu Ji alone for support. Therefore, in addition to Xu Ji, other foundation-building cultivators and qi-training monks are naturally needed. After gathering at Leiming Pass, the captain will lead them to the No. 72 Xuanling Mine.

However, Wan Chaosheng's allocation was different from that of Xu Ji, and it was not to support the No. 72 Xuanling Mine, so after saying goodbye to Xu Ji, he went to another meeting point alone, and Xu Ji also left after saying goodbye to Wan Chaosheng. According to the instructions on the mission voucher, a camp was found.

There was a middle-aged monk in the camp wearing black iron armor. His eyes were as sharp as those of ancient ferocious birds. He looked at Xu Ji. He was obviously different from a recruit like Xu Ji who had just entered the battlefield outside the territory. He was a soldier who had been fighting on the battlefield outside the territory for many years. The veteran said coldly: "Mission certificate."

Seeing this, Xu Ji didn't waste any time. He handed over the mission voucher to the veteran for review. After checking that it was correct, the middle-aged monk nodded and returned the voucher. His tone became a little gentler and he said, "Just wait in the camp. Wait until everyone arrives before heading to the mining area.”

Xu Ji nodded, and then looked around the inside of the tent. The space inside the tent was not too small. There were already more than ten people waiting aside. It seemed that like Xu Ji, they had also received support for the No. 72 Xuanling Mine. task, when he saw Xu Ji arriving, he nodded with a smile to say hello to Xu Ji. Naturally, Xu Ji would not put on airs, and also nodded to the few monks waiting there, and then quietly stood there. Wait.

"Okay, the number of people is enough. From now on, you fellow Taoists will be comrades fighting side by side. Let's get to know each other first. My name is Si Mingwu. You can call me Si Qianhu. From now on, we will fight together in the Xuanling Mine. I am your immediate superior, and I hope to cooperate with you sincerely in the Xuanling Mine to resist the Xuanjie monks." Without letting Xu Ji wait for long, the middle-aged monk said to everyone.

Xu Ji heard the words and nodded at the other people in the camp, and found that there were thirty-one people in total including himself. It seemed that he and the other twenty-nine people would be under Si Mingwu's tent in the future, together with the other twenty people. The nine people all bowed slightly to Si Mingwu: "I have met Si Qianhu."

Si Mingwu accepted the gift calmly. The battlefield outside the territory was different from the Immortal Alliance, which emphasized orders and prohibitions. The generals under his command must obey orders and obey commands at any time and under any circumstances. Naturally, it is impossible to say that everyone is equal. That's a set up, so you need to establish your superiority and inferiority at the beginning.

Si Mingwu nodded and said: "Let me introduce it to you first. You are all foundation-building true cultivators. Your rank will be set at centurion at the beginning. If you break through the middle stage of foundation-building and accumulate enough military merit, you can be promoted to centurion. Five hundred households, and if you break through to the late stage of foundation building and accumulate enough military merit, you can be promoted to the rank of captain of a thousand."

"However, the centurion assigned at the beginning was just a false position. If you want to lead troops, you must at least hone yourself on the battlefield outside the territory for a while. You can only lead troops after you have certain military exploits. And our current mission is to support No. 72 Xuanling Mine, so I didn’t give you the opportunity to lead the troops.”

Si Mingwu nodded slightly and said: "Of course, although the military merits are distributed every month, if you want to convert the military merits into the corresponding Taoist points, you need to wait until you leave the foreign battlefield, and before the conversion, you are in the foreign battlefield. You can only exchange your military achievements for various required resources."

Therefore, if it is a one-to-one conversion, the remuneration that Taoist students can get is much more than it actually is.

"Si Qianhu, is this conversion point a 1:1 conversion?" After hearing Si Mingwu's words, someone couldn't help but ask. The ratio of war merit to exchange for materials in each Taoist temple is not the same, such as exchange for high-grade spiritual stones. , if it is exchanged for war merit, 300 war merit will be exchanged for one piece, and if it is exchanged for immortal power like Xu Ji, only 100 immortal power can be exchanged for a high-grade spiritual stone. Although the points of other Nine Avenues Academy may not be as good as the fairy In Taoist temples, 100 immortal skills can usually be exchanged for a high-grade spiritual stone, but generally speaking, the purchasing power is greater than the military merits.

Xu Ji knew it, but he didn't feel any surprise about it. If every foundation-building cultivator could lead troops at will, accidents would be easy to happen. After all, if he didn't know anything about leading troops or could only talk about troops on paper, then let him lead them. In addition to harming the soldiers under his command, soldiers also harmed themselves.

"But your treatment is still the same as that of a centurion, and the reward for this mission to support the No. 72 Xuanling Mine is 3000 combat merits for a month. If you are a student of the Taoist Academy, your combat merits can also be converted into a Taoist priest. Points." Si Mingwu added.

Everyone has no objections to this. Even if the battle merits can be exchanged for points in the Taoist Academy every month, they will not be used on the battlefield outside the territory. What's more, there are only a few Taoist Academy students who come to the battlefield outside the territory. Generally, Only students from the Jiu Da University and the Immortal University can practice foundation building, so naturally they don't care about the conversion of military merit.

"Okay, let's introduce each other first." Seeing that no one asked any questions, Si Mingwu said to everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, and the young man who had asked Si Mingwu about the exchange of military merits was the first to speak: "I'm Lan Junjie, a third-level Foundation Establishment student from Fengtian Taoist Academy. I've met all of my comrades." He was said to be from Fengtian Taoist Academy. , Xu Ji couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Lan Xuejun, and with Lan Junjie taking the lead, the other foundation-building monks soon also greeted each other. In addition to Lan Xuejun, there were three other people from Jiujiu. Big, but these three people are from Chenyan Taoist Temple, and soon it was Xu Ji's turn.

"My name is Xu Ji. I am at the second level of Foundation Establishment. I come from Xianling Taoist Academy. I have met all of my comrades."

Xu Ji imitated the words of the previous people and greeted everyone without revealing his true state. After all, he had demonstrated his breakthrough to the second level of Foundation Establishment in the Fairy Taoist Temple two months ago, even though he was now on the battlefield outside the territory. Naturally, he will not reveal all his details.

However, when they heard that Xu Ji came from Xianling Taoist Temple, the other people couldn't help but look at Xu Ji. After all, monks from other Jiudao Temples could occasionally be seen, but monks from Xianling Taoist Temple were too rare. There are only more than a hundred people in each class, and the number of students in the entire Taoist Academy is less than 5,000. It is naturally extremely difficult to meet the students of the Xianling Taoist Academy on the battlefield outside the territory.

However, although there are only a few students in Xianling Taoist Academy, it is rumored that the combat power of each student is the best among his generation and unrivaled in his field. How can everyone not be curious about them? Now that Xu Ji, a living student of the Xianling Taoist Academy, was standing in front of him, and he was also his next comrade-in-arms, he naturally couldn't help but take a few more glances, so that he would be able to boast to others in the future.

However, Si Mingwu was not surprised by this. After all, Xu Ji's relevant information had just been found on Xu Ji's mission certificate, so he was not as surprised as others, but said: "Since everyone has already communicated with each other, It’s time to complete the mission. We can go to No. 72 Xuanling Mine with a thousand Qi-training monks at the military command station.”

Pointing station?
From what Si Mingwu meant, it should be the place where soldiers are selected, but didn't Si Mingwu just mention that the hundreds of households in the crowd are just filling their posts and need to wait until they accumulate military exploits before they can actually lead the troops? Could it be that Si Mingwu brought it himself?
However, although everyone was confused, no one asked. Instead, they followed Si Mingwu all the way to the Dianbing Platform. Although it was called the Dianbing Platform, it was actually a huge square where many Qi-training monks gathered. Just now Qi-training monks who enter the battlefield outside the territory without a team will gather here, waiting for the selection of other foundation-building monks.

Si Mingwu led everyone to find a steward at the Dianbing Platform. Si Mingwu handed over his mission certificate to the steward and said: "I need 1000 monks in the early and middle stages of Qi training to make the No. 72 Xuanling Mine. The miner is responsible for mining the No. 72 Xuanling Mine."

After listening to Si Mingwu's words, everyone behind him was slightly startled. However, this is reasonable. After all, since it is the Xuanling mine, it is natural to mine the minerals in it, and this obviously cannot allow the foundation-building cultivator responsible for the garrison. To mine, it is natural to need Qi practicing monks to serve as miners.

Among the qi-training monks, only in the later stages of qi-training, when the spiritual energy in the body is sufficient and the spells and magic weapons have been mastered, can the combat power be considered barely usable. Now these chores naturally fall to the practitioners who come to the battlefield outside the territory. On monks in the early and middle stages of Qi.

However, although they are only responsible for similar chores, they have already distributed combat merit rewards on a monthly basis, and the speed of earning resources is much faster than in the Immortal League. Therefore, there are also many practitioners in the Immortal League who are not very qualified and want to try their luck at the future. The early and middle Qi monks come here, hoping to earn more resources to build a foundation for future breakthroughs or to train future generations to save some wealth.

The person in charge of the Weapon Commanding Platform was not surprised by this. After checking that the mission credentials were correct, he selected a thousand junior and mid-level Qi training monks who met Si Mingwu's requirements in the Weapon Commanding Platform. Si Mingwu turned to look at Xiang Xu Ji and other foundation-building monks divided each group of ten people into three groups, and said, "When one group drives the spirit boat, the second group guards against the third group to adjust the breath, and then rotates every half hour to prevent leaving the Thunder Pass." The team was attacked while heading to Mine No. 72."

Xu Ji was assigned to the second group of the team by Si Mingwu, and Lan Junjie from Fengtian Taoist Academy was also assigned to the second group temporarily responsible for defense by Si Mingwu. He smiled and greeted Xu Ji: "Fellow Taoist Xu Ji" , what a coincidence.”

Xu Ji nodded with a smile and said hello to Lan Junjie, but saw Lan Junjie speak again: "I have heard before that the students of Xianling Taoist Academy are unparalleled in combat, and it is not difficult to fight beyond the level. Now I see I am also very happy to see you, fellow Taoist Xu Ji. I wonder if I can discuss with you later, how far behind I am?"

Lan Junjie looked at Xu Ji with burning eyes. During the Immortal Alliance Competition, he was only at the sixth level of Qi training. He was only one step away from breaking through to the seventh level of Qi training. However, it was this small difference that made him miss the chance to compete with the Xianling Taoist Academy. , this has also become a thorn in Lan Junjie's heart. Now that he sees Xu Ji, a student from Xianling Taoist Academy who is similar in strength to himself, he invites him to compete. He wants to see if his many years of hard work in Fengtian Taoist Academy will be enough. It made up for the shortcomings of the past.
