Who cares about childhood sweethearts when they can become immortals?

Chapter 199 Alien Beasts
Lan Junjie's expression froze slightly, remembering that the three-star Xuanshi who was evenly matched with him in the fight turned into powder in Xu Ji's hand before he could last a few breaths. He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I have seen your strength before. Now that I’m here, I won’t humiliate myself. I was too Meng Lang before, so please forgive me, fellow Taoist Xu.”

Lan Junjie was also a little melancholy. During the Immortal Alliance Competition, he was only at the sixth level of Qi training, and he was only one step away from being able to break through to the seventh level. He originally thought that the gap between himself and the students of Xianling Taoist Academy was only a small gap. However, when I saw Xu Ji take action today, I realized that the gap between him and me was really too big. It was clear that Xu Ji was still a small level below me, but his combat power was far greater than mine, even if maybe It's because of the magic weapon, but strong is strong.

Xu Ji smiled and comforted: "The purpose of the competition is to verify each other's knowledge, so how can we humiliate ourselves? I have a good friend who is also in Fengtian Taoist Academy and has entered Fengtian Taoist Academy before. During the visit, I have already heard about the special methods of using fire-attributed magic in Fengtian Taoist Academy, so I was looking forward to it when you mentioned the competition before, fellow Taoist Lan. "

Seeing Xu Ji say this, Lan Junjie was slightly startled. He originally thought that Xu Ji came to him to discuss the matter again just to ridicule him for not overestimating his abilities, but now it seems that he is treating himself as a villain. He knew the true nature of a gentleman, so he smiled and said, "I wonder, Daoist friend Xu, who are your friends in Fengtian Taoist Academy? Maybe I am also familiar with them."

"My good friend's name is Zhong Longhu, and I grew up with him." Xu Ji smiled.

Lan Junjie raised his brows. Lan Junjie's first reaction to the name Zhong Longhu was that he was unfamiliar. He seemed to have never heard of a foundation-building cultivator named Zhong Longhu in Fengtian Taoist Temple, but Lan Junjie But he soon felt relieved. After all, there were many students in Fengtian Taoist Academy, and there were also a lot of foundation-building practitioners. It was normal if there were foundation-building practitioners that he didn’t know, so he smiled and said casually: "I really don’t know. This fellow Daoist Zhong, I wonder which Tianguan this fellow Daoist has been recruited to? Maybe we can communicate with him later."

In Lan Junjie's eyes, Zhong Longhu's talent as Xu Ji's hair-raising talent may not be much different from that of Xu Ji's. It is very likely that he was only one step away from being admitted to the Xianling Taoist Academy, and Xu Ji has now established a foundation. At the second level, Zhong Longhu should at least break through to the first level of foundation building, so naturally he will be recruited to come to the battlefield outside the territory this time.

Unlike all foundation-building students of Xianling Taoist Academy who are recruited to the Thunder Pass, the foundation-building monks of Fengtian Taoist Academy are not recruited to one heavenly pass, but are dispersed to nine heavenly gates. That's why Lan Junjie asked Xu Ji Which heavenly gate did Zhong Longhu go to?

"My little boy hasn't broken through the foundation building yet, so he probably hasn't been drafted." Xu Ji replied with a smile. Although he had never asked Zhong Longhu about it, the last time he saw Zhong Longhu, he had just At the sixth level of Qi training, even if he has the resources left behind, it is absolutely impossible for him to break through to the foundation building in this short period of time. If he does not reach the foundation building, he can only be regarded as cannon fodder on the battlefield outside the territory. Even if the Immortal Alliance If you want students to experience it, you will not recruit monks below the foundation level.

Lan Junjie glanced at Xu Ji in surprise. If Zhong Longhu has not yet broken through the foundation building, it can only mean that there is a huge difference between his talent and Xu Ji. If Xu Ji still treats him as a minor, it may mean that Xu Ji is a person worthy of close friendship.

The two chatted for a while, and saw that Wu Baihu, who was in charge of the affairs of the mining area, asked to gather and announce the precautions, and then they went together. Although the conversation was short, the two of them had become a lot closer, and they had already agreed. After completing this mission, they will learn from each other.

After a long list of rather cumbersome precautions were announced, the five hundred households in charge of the mining area took a group of ten foundation-building cultivators to the mining area and came to a wide mine cave in the mining area. Now the mine Inside the cave, there are many Qi-training monks mining Xuanling Crystal using special materials.

"In this way, there are a total of six mines being mined in the mining area. Each of you ten people will sit in a group of two mines, and I will sit alone in the central mine. Although there is a high probability that alien beasts will appear in the mines, There is a small probability of appearing in the mine tunnels, so the surrounding mine tunnels also need to be inspected every day, and because the alien beasts appear very quickly from their birth, they cannot enter the cultivation state when guarding the mines to prevent them from appearing. The alien beast failed to respond in time and caused a large number of casualties.”

When Xu Ji and Lan Junjie arrived at the mine they were assigned to guard, they found that it was not dark inside. The special spiritual lamp fueled by the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone illuminated the originally dark mine like daylight. And miners who were in the early or middle stages of Qi training were mining Xuanling Crystals with spiritual pickaxes made of special materials.

Wu Baihu reminded him, and then asked everyone to form five groups at will to guard five different mines. Xu Ji naturally formed a group with Lan Junjie, who was more familiar with them.

"If a strange beast is discovered, the spirit talisman needs to be activated as soon as possible, and I will go to support as soon as possible." Wu Baihu gave a final reminder and asked the five groups to go to the mines where they were stationed.

"The soil here is indeed much harder than the outside world. No wonder the miners need at least monks who are in the early stages of Qi training. Otherwise, if they are ordinary people, even with a spiritual pickaxe made of this special material, the mining efficiency will be extremely low. "Lan Junjie glanced at the mine and clicked his tongue.

Xu Ji heard this and picked up a spiritual pickaxe with great interest to examine it. This type of standard magic weapon was not refined by real weapon refiners, but was a product of the industrial assembly line, so its formation patterns were just It is superficial and cannot even be called a real magic weapon.

Xu Ji's Three Lives Creation Cauldron is a third-level magic weapon refined by a real weapon refiner. The special formations on it have been integrated with the material. Only by destroying the Three Lives Creation Cauldron itself can it be restored. Destroy the formation patterns on it, unlike this spiritual pick that can easily erase the formation patterns on it. However, it is precisely because this spiritual pickaxe is not a real magic weapon. The formation patterns on it are superficial and have a certain reference value for Xu Ji. After all, from a certain level, the formation patterns on this spiritual pickaxe are also A type of portable array.

As spiritual energy poured into the spiritual pickaxe in his hand, the formation pattern on the spiritual pickaxe flashed with spiritual light, seeming to activate the formation on it. With Xu Ji's vision, he could naturally see the spiritual pickaxe at a glance. The effect of the formation pattern above is just to soften the soil in contact with it. What Xu Ji cares about is naturally not the effect of the formation, but the reason and particularity of the formation that can be carved on the spiritual pickaxe, as well as the principle of the operation of the formation.

After some simple experiments, Xu Ji had a preliminary idea of ​​converting the composite formation that assisted him in practicing the Vientiane Life Skill from a positional formation into a portable formation.

Because he needed to guard against strange beasts, Xu Ji could not fall into a state of cultivation in the mining area, and because he had no other tasks except guarding against strange beasts, the few days he spent in the mining area kept Xu Ji in mind. Continuously improve his previous preliminary concept of portable formation.

"It's a pity. I originally thought I would be able to see strange beasts this time, but nothing happened in eight days. Fortunately, I can leave in two days." Lan Junjie complained casually, except when he first went into the mine. Apart from being very interesting, Lan Junjie also found the peaceful days a little boring. The most important thing was that he was not even allowed to practice while he was stationed in the mining area, so he could only endure the ten days of hard work.

"After all, I said before that only five or six strange beasts were born in a month in the past, scattered in various mines. It's not surprising that we didn't encounter them." Xu Ji smiled and replied casually. In these eight days, Either to pass the time or to get closer to each other, the two discussed a lot of insights on cultivation, and the relationship was naturally a little closer than before.

"Xu Ji, do you think that arranging two people to sit in charge is because you think it is too boring to have one person in charge, so when you arrange two people to sit in charge, you can still talk and talk to pass the time?" Lan Junjie suddenly said.

"I know, I know, I'm going to inspect the mine tunnels later." Xu Ji glanced at Lan Junjie angrily. This guy was reminding himself that it was his turn to inspect the mine tunnels today, even though there was no sky in the mine. Days, but it is not enough for the foundation-building cultivators to be confused about time. It has been said before that the foundation-building cultivators who guard the mines need to patrol the surrounding mine tunnels in addition to guarding the mines to prevent strange beasts from appearing. Inside the mine tunnel.

Xu Ji and Lan Junjie had made an appointment for one person to inspect the mine tunnels for a day, and today it happened to be his turn to inspect the mine tunnels, so Lan Junjie reminded himself.

"Xu Ji, you've wrongly blamed me for this. I just felt it." Lan Junjie chuckled.

Xu Ji snorted, and then walked towards the dark mine tunnel of the mine. Although the foundation-building cultivator can detect foreign objects with his spiritual consciousness, the alien beasts seem to be able to integrate with the environment in the resource point, completely Strange beasts cannot be detected through spiritual consciousness, so inspecting the mine tunnels requires Xu Ji to walk the mine tunnels himself. Naturally, it is impossible to walk through the mine tunnels only once a day. Most of the time, he needs to patrol the mine tunnels three or five times a day.

The mine tunnel was dark, and there was no spiritual lamp lighting like in the mine. However, with Xu Ji’s foundation-building cultivation, he did not need spiritual lamp lighting, so he did not carry a spiritual lamp or use magic. Xu Ji was alone in the mine. Patrolling the mine tunnels, passing through the intricate mine tunnels.

"Eh? Is this?" Xu Ji, who was patrolling the mine tunnel, suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some changes in the spiritual energy in the mine tunnel, but this change was extremely small. If Xu Ji had not cultivated the Ten Thousand Dao Jue to the extreme, The high spiritual energy affinity obtained may not be able to detect this almost undetectable change.

"Could this strange movement of spiritual energy be due to the birth of a strange beast?"

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Ji no longer hesitated, and based on his high spiritual affinity, he rushed towards the source of the abnormal spiritual movement in his perception.
