I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 75 Absorbing Spiritual Energy Crystals

"The Shadow Blood Sect began infiltrating demonic martial artists in Dingyun County several years ago. They recruited both ordinary civilians and Black Armor Guards."

"That is precisely why the rebellion in Dingyun County succeeded so easily."

Wei Changqing continued, "And their methods of secretly recruiting or cultivating martial artists from the Demonic Sect have also appeared in our Kangyun County. Fortunately, we discovered this in time and temporarily stabilized the situation."

"Based on the interrogations of the previously captured demonic sect warriors, we have uncovered quite a few potential demonic sect warriors who have not yet been exposed..."

"but……"

Wei Changqing paused, then scanned all the captains' faces: "We can't be sure if all the potential demonic martial artists in the county have been dealt with... Moreover, we can't be sure if any of our Black Armor Guards have been infiltrated like those in Dingyun County."

As soon as Wei Changqing said this, the atmosphere in the council hall suddenly became somewhat oppressive.

According to this theory, no one can be sure whether their colleagues are members of the Demonic Sect.

Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Wei Changqing smiled and said, "There's no need for everyone to be too nervous. After all, they are all our companions. Being too wary is not a good thing."

"However, if you notice anything amiss with a colleague, you should report it promptly..."

Wei Changqing added another sentence.

"Okay, what I've said above should give you a basic understanding of the problems we're facing."

Wei Changqing said, "To summarize, firstly, with a formidable enemy at hand, we must be prepared for battle at any time; secondly, we must closely monitor any suspicious activity within the city, and if anyone is suspected of being a member of the Demonic Sect, we should rather miss them than let them go, and arrest and interrogate them directly."

"In order to better cope with the current situation, we are prepared to reduce the size of the outposts and increase the number of Black Armor Guards stationed in the camps."

"For each garrison post, regardless of the size of the alley area under its jurisdiction, any personnel with more than seven people will be directly reassigned to the camp as combat reserves. At the same time, the number of the attached city guards in the garrison posts will all be reduced to less than thirty, and any excess personnel will be reassigned to the city guard camp as combat reserves, just like the Black Armor Guards."

Xu Ning listened attentively in the crowd.

"Reduce the number of personnel at the garrison posts and expand the scale of the reserve army..."

As Xu Ning listened, he pondered in his heart.

In Maple Willow Lane today, including myself, there are a total of six Black Armor Guards, so there's no need to report any extra numbers.

However, there are nearly forty city guards, and ten of them must be selected to be reported.

Xu Ning doesn't need to worry about this; he can leave it to Feng Sigua.

"Furthermore, recently some wealthy businessmen and their families in Qiuyun County have been trying to escape. Some of them have contacted us and will bring all their assets and resources to Kangyun County."

Wei Changqing said again, "This is a good thing for Kangyun County... After all, with a major battle approaching, both material resources and martial arts resources are extremely important."

Once these words were spoken, all the captains understood that Wei Changqing was going to ruthlessly fleece these people who had come to join him.

However, this is fair, as those who seek refuge in Kangyun County are protected once they arrive; it should be considered a transaction.

"Afterwards, we will dispatch some small teams from the camp's reserve forces to escort the defectors from Qiuyun County to this location safely. At the same time, we will also arrange for various garrison posts to be ready to provide support at any time."

"I hope everyone can receive messages promptly and carry out orders diligently."

"yes!"

All the captains responded in unison.

……

After the meeting, Xu Ning returned to the post station and relayed the contents of the meeting to others.

Everyone at Weiyi knew that the situation was uncertain, so they were all working very diligently.

Even Xu Ning began to personally oversee the investigation of all suspicious points in Fengliu Lane to ensure that there were no more suspected demonic martial artists in the lane.

Three days have passed.

After finishing his shift that evening, Xu Ning returned home and was surprised to find that the Thousand Source Worm in his earthenware jar was actually releasing spiritual energy crystals!

This made Xu Ning very happy, but at the same time, it was also a bit of a surprise.

As Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng had previously stated, the Thousand Source Worm needs more than ten days to adapt after hatching before it releases its first spiritual energy crystal.

Xu Ning's Thousand Origin Worm took only three days from hatching to excreting its first spiritual energy crystal.

At this time, an oil lamp was lit in the room.

Xu Ning held the earthenware pot and placed it on the table.

Inside the earthenware jar, the plump, white Thousand Source Insect lay motionless, whether feigning death or dozing off, it was unclear.

Beside the plump white worm, there was a transparent crystal the size of a millet grain, like a grain of fine salt.

The shape of these transparent crystals is exactly the same as Wei Binglin described.

"I wonder if this spiritual energy crystal can be absorbed..."

Xu Ning was filled with anticipation.

He carefully held the transparent crystal in his hand.

-

Energy detected: 1 units —

Is it absorbed?

whether

-

"It can be absorbed after all!"

The result did not disappoint Xu Ning.

Although it was only 1 unit of energy, Xu Ning didn't feel it was a small amount.

During its early stages, the Thousand Source Worm will release a crystal of spiritual energy every three to five days.

For others, spiritual crystals are at most an aid to cultivation, reducing the sediment and impurities produced by excessive consumption of spiritual medicines and pills.

However, for Xu Ning, as long as the spiritual energy crystals are converted into energy points, they bring him a real boost.

Based on the frequency at which these Thousand Source Worms expel spiritual energy crystals, one can obtain at most 10 units of energy and at least 6 units of energy per month.

Moreover, as the Thousand Source Worm continues to grow, the quality of the spiritual energy crystals it excretes will become higher and higher.

At that time, I will be able to obtain more energy.

"Absorb energy."

With anticipation for the Thousand Source Worm, Xu Ning absorbed this 1 unit of energy.

Looking at the refreshed martial arts panel, Xu Ning felt a surge of emotions.

I have been in this world for more than half a year. Half a year ago, this martial arts panel only had the basic Gale Blade Technique.

Now, he has mastered two external martial arts and his internal martial arts have reached the fifth level of the mortal realm, the Qi Movement Realm.

Looking back, this change gives one a strange sense of satisfaction.

……

Kangyun County.

Black Armor Guards, Third Camp.

Nowadays, training takes place almost every day at Camp 3.

As new recruits, they must work even harder to defeat their opponents and save their lives in the upcoming battles.

To ensure the progress of the army, the meals prepared by the public kitchen now include medicinal herbs as supplementary ingredients.

While it cannot directly help new recruits improve themselves, it can help them quickly recover their strength and eliminate hidden injuries after training.

Night training session is over.

Tao Jin and her companions returned to their room together.

Ever since she was given demonic powers, Tao Jin had been living in fear for a while.

Especially in the county town, when the demonic sect warriors were constantly being captured, Tao Jin would even wake up in terror from her dreams at night.

But a long time passed, and no one came to bother her. Even the man in the bamboo hat who had given her the Shadow Blood Scripture never appeared again.

"I heard that in the next couple of days, our Third Camp's reserve troops will be sending a team to Qiuyun County to escort some important figures back."

"I heard this mission is mainly for us newbies, to give us more practical experience..."

Several female companions were still talking beside Tao Jin.

Tao Jin listened, and originally wanted to say a few words as well.

But suddenly, Tao Jin noticed a figure in a straw hat standing on the roof of the house she was about to enter.

Tao Jin's pupils contracted, and her heart raced.

The next moment, the figure in the straw hat disappeared, seemingly jumping to the other side of the camp's buildings.

"They're here..."

Tao Jin clenched her fists, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Thank you for the generous donation, Hanyan Shuicao!
