"I wonder what are the benefits of becoming a city lord's personal guard? What do you need to do?"
Luo Hong asked further.
"I believe that the two fellow Taoists have seen it all the way. The environment in Jilinkong is close to the ancient times and the resources are scarce.
Therefore, our only source of food is these scale beasts that have been transformed from monsters.
Among the four affiliated cities, the reason why our Baiyan City can become the strongest is because we have the most hunting grounds.
Each hunting ground must be guarded by a Taiyi Xuanshi, otherwise it will not take long to be occupied by scale beasts above the earth level.
We city lords and guards usually don’t have to do anything. We just need to kill or drive away the earth-level scale beasts in the hunting ground they are responsible for.
Of course, if you think you can't complete the task alone, you can also pay some animal cores to ask others for help."
Speaking of this, Xu Yinglong paused for a moment, then pointed to the scaled earth dragon, and continued:
"Xu and his brother came to kill this beast, but judging from the previous ambush, this beast should have been driven away by the Puppet City. If it weren't for the two of them, our brothers would have been devastated at this moment!"
After saying that, the two solemnly bowed to Luo Hong and Zhuyan and thanked each other.
"So that's it. Since we meet, we are destined to meet. It just so happens that Luo and Brother Zhu don't know where to stay. Please ask you two to take us to Baiyan City."
Luo Hong nodded, and understood the status of a Taiyi Xuanshi in this Jilin Kong Realm.
The only resource here is scale beasts, so with an extra hunting ground, the city it belongs to will be much stronger.
Because of the threat of the earth-level scale beasts, the number of hunting grounds is linked to the number of Taiyi Xuanshi in the city.
There is no doubt that just considering the development of a city, the more Taiyi Xuanshi in the city, the better, and there is no need to say what you offer on weekdays!
Luo Xuanshi is in charge of the main city of Xuancheng, and Luo Hong will definitely not go there in the short term.
Baiyan City is the strongest among the four affiliated cities and has the most beast core resources, which is Luo Hong's best place to go now.
"It's so great. At that time, we brothers will definitely recommend the two fellow Taoists to the city lord in person!"
Xu Yinglong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately patted his shriveled chest and said.
Because the Xu brothers lost their essence and blood, they didn't care about cleaning up the corpse of the scaled earth dragon, so they took Luo Hong and the other two on the way.
After rushing for more than a month, the group finally saw two white peaks standing next to each other in the wind and sand that were gradually fighting.
I saw that the two peaks were thousands of feet high, with protruding rocks. The surface was like the surrounding wasteland. It was also severely weathered, with potholes and lots of holes of varying sizes.
Luo Hong looked up and saw a huge city between the two peaks. The walls were pale like the peaks on both sides, and the surface was covered with various claw marks.
When he walked to the city, Luo Hong saw the three big words "Baiyan City" above the city gate without surprise.
Without everyone calling the door, the guards guarding the city recognized the Xu brothers, briefly asked about the origins of Luo Hong and the other two, and then opened the city gate.
Accompanied by the sound of scoops, two extremely thick white city gates slowly opened inward, which immediately made the Xu brothers who saw this scene breathe a sigh of relief.
"Three, please come in!"
With a greeting, the two of them took the lead in walking towards the city.
When you enter the city gate, you will see a low house, which is basically made of earth and stone structures. Some are decorated with animal bones, and some are covered with scales on the walls, and the styles are mainly rough.
"The castle in front is the Lord's Mansion, let's go directly."
Walking on the avenue, Xu Yinglong pointed to a huge white castle road at the end of the road.
"Senior Xu, I see the situation of the city wall. There should be beast tides from time to time? Why do we still have to build a city between the two mountains? Wouldn't this give those scaled beasts convenience?"
Because she didn't want to cause trouble, Zi Ling had already put on a facial scarf to cover her peerless face.
But this opening still attracted many passers-by's attention because of their soft voices.
"Haha, the fairy doesn't know that there is a natural disaster in this Scale-Calculating Sky Realm, called "Zijiafeng".
Even Taiyi Xuanshi, who was like us, could not resist it, and it took several months to slap, so all cities must be built in places suitable for shelter from the wind."
Before Xu Yinglong could speak, Xu Yinghu, who was standing beside him, explained first.
"Two fellow Taoists, that's what you mentioned in the hunting team?"
At this time, Luo Hong pointed at the sidewalk and asked at a group of Xuanshi who were surrounded by two lizard-scaled beasts.
"Yes, there are many hunting teams like this in the city. Some of them only operate in fixed hunting grounds, while others will keep changing.
If the two fellow Taoists want to obtain more resources in the future, it is best to train one or two hunting captains."
Xu Yinglong turned his head and showed his experience to Luo Hong.
On the way afterwards, they also walked along the way, introducing Luo Hong and the other two to various situations in the city.
When the three of them arrived in front of the White Castle, they had a basic understanding of Baiyan City.
The production and life of this city is very simple, that is, the Xuanshi and the Xuanshi serve the Xuanshi, and the Xuanshi and the above are divided into three levels according to their cultivation level.
The True Immortal Xuanshi is the basic member of the hunting team and the guards everywhere in the city; the Golden Immortal Xuanshi can become the hunting team leader and deputy captain, or hold management positions in the city; the last Taiyi Xuanshi is a complete stake in the veterinary class, who are responsible for providing shelter and enjoying most of the resources.
The so-called city lord is the strongest Taiyi Xuanshi. His power in the city is similar to other Taiyi Xuanshi. The only special thing is that he can trade with the main city in exchange for many precious resources including the heaven-level beast core!
Since I was informed on the road, the group did not encounter any obstacles at the door and went directly into the castle.
The space inside the castle is quite large. A huge brazier is hung every few feet on the wall. I don’t know which kind of scale beast oil is filled inside. There is no smoke when it burns, but there is a faint fishy smell.
Following the stone stairs to the third floor, Luo Hong soon met the lord of Baiyan City.
This is a huge hall, with braziers made of skulls of giant beasts on all sides. The flames in the basin blew, illuminating the entire hall clearly.
There is a star map carved on the ceiling of the cemetery, exactly the same as what Luo Hong saw at night.
A fat old man in gray robe with a bearded face was sitting upright on the big white stone chair, smiling at Luo Hong and the other two walking in.
Luo Hong's spiritual sense moved and found the mysterious aura of Taiyi in his body.
There was another person beside him, a low-shaped boy with an ugly appearance and a bit like a pig.
At this moment, he was lying on a stone chair and sleeping soundly, without noticing Luo Hong and the other five who came in at all.
"I am Sun Tu, the lord of Baiyan City. I heard that the two are monks who have just been exiled from the outside world. I wonder what the situation is in the holy realm now?"
It has been a long time since outsiders entered the Jilin Kong Realm, and Sun Tu is inevitably a little curious at the moment.
"The holy realm is still dominated by the time and space fish. It is only recently that the battle for the throne has been very uneasy. It was because of unfortunate involvement in it that the three of us were exiled here."
Luo Hong knew that the monks in the Jilin Kong Realm were not very good at dealing with the Yeyang royal family, so she also described the three of them as the party who was persecuted by the royal family.
"Hmph, the Yeyang royal family has never been a son of humanity!
However, although this Scale-Accumulated Sky Realm is deserted, it is very suitable for our mysterious cultivation practice. I believe you have collected some beast cores on the way, right?"
After cursing, Sun Tu reached out and grabbed a handful of beast cores the size of a longan from the vessel beside him.
"Although this object contains the power of qi and blood from those scaled beasts, it is very easy to dissipate. If it is easy to preserve it in the outside world, it can only be taken out and used here.
However, since Lord Sun has collected so much, I think there is another way to save it."
Zhu Yan, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke.
"Haha, fellow Taoist Zhu doesn't know that the power of qi and blood carried by these beast cores is not critical. The real value lies in the gentle space power he contains.
The reason why my Xuancheng can cultivate so many Xuanshi to resist scale beasts and gain a foothold in this scale-abundant empty realm is because of the secret technique of refining these beast cores.
As long as the three of you officially join me in Baiyan City, I can present this secret technique with both hands immediately!”
Sun Tu laughed loudly and made a promise.
"There is such a secret technique! Since that's the case, please accept a gift from the city lord!"
Zhuyan took the lead in bowing.
"Okay, okay, with the addition of three, I, Baiyan City, will surely prosper!"
After saying with a smile on his face, Sun Tu looked at the Xu brothers again, took out a small bottle from his arms and said:
"You two have made great contributions to the introduction, and you will be rewarded with this bottle of blood jade pill, so that you can recover soon."
"Thank you, the city lord!"
The Xu brothers hurriedly thanked him, which was exactly what they needed urgently now.
"Lord Sun City, Luo heard that every Taiyi Xuanshi can open a hunting ground around Baiyan City. I wonder what the specific rules are?"
Luo Hong asked at this time.
"I am about to tell you about this matter, there is no limit on opening a hunting ground, as long as you don't have conflicts with others.
The only thing you two need to pay attention to is to be responsible for the hunting ground you have to ensure that you can keep it.
In fact, the biggest force in the Scale-Calculating Sky Realm is the scale beasts, so you must not be careless."
Sun Tu reminded with a serious expression.
"What if Luo didn't open a hunting ground?"
Luo Hong said with a smile.
"If fellow Taoist does not open a hunting ground, although I will not expel you from Baiyan City, the Earth-level beast core that is one year will definitely not be given."
Sun Tu's expression froze when she heard this, and she couldn't understand what medicine Luo Hong sold in her belly.
"Haha, Lord Sun misunderstood. Luo didn't think about eating and living in Baiyan City for free. However, Luo was confident that he had some skills to refine weapons and wanted to try first whether he could use these beasts to refine something."
Luo Hong chuckled and expressed her purpose.
Opening up a hunting ground, forming a hunting team, and enjoying the share of the money. This is of course a good way to harvest animal cores, but it also takes effect very slowly.
Luo Hong would not stay in this clay-abundant empty realm for thousands of years, so this smooth road is obviously not suitable for him.
As long as you look at Sun Tu's eyes that suddenly lit up, you will know how wise Luo Hong is to expose his weapon refining ability.
"Can you ask how confident is Fellow Daoist Luo?"
Sun Tu asked hurriedly.
Among the five cities in Xuancheng, only one Mrs. Liuhua can use the beast nuclear weapon to refine it!
In the transaction between Baiyan City and the main city, a large share was used to exchange for those beast-core weapons.
If Luo Hong really has this ability, the benefits to Baiyan City are far beyond comparison with a hunting ground!
"Please ask the city lord to give Luo a beast core."
Luo Hong did not answer directly, but reached out to ask for advice.
Sun Tu was not stingy and threw Luo Hong a yellow beast core.
In the previous conversation with the Xu brothers, Luo Hong already knew that the monks in Xuancheng divided the beast core into four levels: "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang".
From top to bottom, it corresponds to the four realms of Daluo to True Immortal.
In other words, Luo Hong and his friends had obtained the Earth-level beast core that they had killed the scaled earth dragon, but now the one in his hand is just a mysterious beast core.
These four levels can be distinguished by just looking at the size of the beast core.
Putting the mysterious beast core in his palm, Luo Hong closed his hands and secretly activated the law of space.
After some effort to make his forehead sweat, he spread his hands and the beast core inside had turned into the shape of a flying knife.
Although it is not very regular, it is already amazing to be able to do this in the Jilin-Empty Realm!
"Okay! I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Luo, you have such a method! It's so great!"
Sun Tu is not a person who doesn’t know how to refine weapons. He could tell at a glance that this was not a forced shape. Luo Hong really has the hope of refining something!
"This can only be done at the moment, but as long as there are enough beast cores for Luo to try, Luo can take out a decent finished product within a year."
Luo Hong is confident and authentic.
He has the law of space, and it is not difficult to refine these beast cores in a plastic manner. In addition, his immortal energy is not completely inoperable, and there is no possibility of failure in simple refining weapons.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, don't worry, I will definitely provide you with enough beast cores to try it out!
As long as you can get a finished product as scheduled, I will also reward you with ten earth-level beast cores!"
Sun Tu didn't think about it when he heard this, so he made a bold decision.
Afterwards, the three of them were arranged to live, Zhuyan and Luo Hong were adjacent to each other, while Zi Ling was regarded as Luo Hong's Taoist couple and was arranged to be with Luo Hong.
In the room, Zi Ling put down the bone pieces in her hand and said suddenly:
"No wonder that City Lord Sun is so generous. It turns out that the secret technique of refining beast cores requires the use of essence and blood. Even if I keep going, it will take seven days to refine a yellow-level beast core.
If you don’t want to lose your essence and blood too much, you must cultivate for another seven days.
At this consumption rate, the yellow and Xuan level beast cores in the city must have accumulated a lot, and he doesn’t have to worry about us getting enough for our own pockets.”
"Haha, that's just for ordinary people. Luo is going to retreat next. If you want to go out, remember to bring Zhuyan with you."
Luo Hong chuckled. He could not use this secret technique to refine the beast core, and he did not need to waste trial and error of the beast core refiner.
Chapter completed!
