(Thanks to Guanghui Charter friends for their rewards! Today's first update is delivered!)

The sudden disappearance of Gu Hao, Zhao Jun and Jiang Wei caused a stir on Qingmu Mountain. Although I don’t know who the murderer was, the Tianmo Sect all agreed that it was caused by the sudden attack of the Blood Shadow Sect.

Therefore, they also launched several revenges, attacked several patrol teams of the Blood Shadow Sect, and killed two Foundation Establishment Cultivators and more than ten Qi Refining Cultivators, which was considered a revenge for an arrow.

The Blood Shadow Sect was furious and was about to launch a counterattack, but the reinforcements from the Tianmo Sect arrived. This made them afraid to act rashly.

Jiang Chen, who informed the sect of this news, also received 500 points of military achievements. You should know that ordinary disciples have only 300 points of military achievements in Qingmu Mountain for three years.

However, the exchange of military achievements will only take place after returning to the sect, so Jiang Chen plans to check it out after the three-year garrison period expires to see which items are appropriate to exchange for.

After the two sides confronted each other for many days, the Tianmo Sect suddenly received a bolt from the blue. The Blood Shadow Sect actually launched a large-scale attack on another place called Liuxian River.

Liuxian River is a big river in the eastern part of the Han Dynasty, Hebei is the territory of the Tianmo Sect, and Henan is the place of the Blood Shadow Sect. The two sides have been facing each other across the river. Although the atmosphere is tense, they have been peaceful for several years.

When the Heavenly Demon Sect focused all their attention on Qingmu Mountain, the Blood Shadow Gate saw that there was no hope of winning at Qingmu Mountain, so he quietly transferred his troops to Liuxian River and suddenly launched an attack here, catching the Heavenly Demon Sect off guard.

Most of this area are spiritual herb gardens and spiritual fields. Although they are not as important as Qingmu Mountain, they are an important supply of medicinal materials for the Tianmo Sect. If occupied by the Blood Shadow Sect, it will be a considerable loss for the Tianmo Sect.

So, the Tianmo Sect quickly organized a large number of troops to fight back. However, the Blood Shadow Sect was prepared and set up an ambush on the road, which caused the Tianmo Sect to suffer a great loss. The people who came to support suffered heavy losses, and even one of the Jindan-stage cultivators fell.

In desperation, the Heavenly Demon Sect had to retreat to the second line of defense. The large area north of Liuxian River was temporarily controlled by the Blood Shadow Sect.

Now, both sides are accumulating strength and preparing to have a decisive battle at the right opportunity.

When the news from the current line was heard back, after learning that the main attack direction of the Blood Shadow Sect had been changed to Liuxian River, the disciples stationed in Qingmu Mountain were greatly relieved. After all, if the enemy really attacked a large scale, how many low-level disciples could survive were a question mark. Immortal cultivators all want to get immortality. Although there are many desperate people in the Demon Sect, who would be willing to die if they can live well?

Yuchi Bin also ordered that the mine caves and main defensive strongholds in Qingmu Mountain should not be relaxed to prevent the enemy from raiding. Therefore, Qingmu Mountain, like Liuxian River, entered a stalemate state, and neither side could make progress.

In the past three years, there has never been any large-scale battles in Qingmu Mountain, and there are only some minor frictions between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Blood Shadow Sect.

This way, it was a bargain. During his three years of garrison, Jiang Chen almost survived through alchemy and magic practice. His cultivation level was supported by a large amount of elixirs, although it was a mixed spirit root, but it also made rapid progress. He finally narrowly broke through the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage a week ago, which made him very pleased.

Zheng Yiran and Ding Lei were originally two spiritual roots, and their spiritual root qualifications were much stronger than him, but they could not take them every day like Jiang Chen in the elixir.

But for the need to win people's hearts, Jiang Chen often helped them refine Yuanqi pills. Therefore, they also broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage within three years, and compared with other disciples, they made quite rapid progress. This also made them very grateful to Jiang Chen, and the three of them were extremely intimate.

Although some disciples were surprised that Jiang Chen's cultivation level had grown so rapidly, Jiang Chen could now refine elixirs suitable for early stages of foundation building cultivators to gather qi and disperse. So he became the most valued subordinate of Xiao Jincheng and Yan Ming. Moreover, at his age, it was normal to reach the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Therefore, no one dared to ask the truth without knowing the times.

On this day, Jiang Chen, Zheng Yiran, Ding Lei and others exchanged their experience in practicing cultivation and were about to find a secluded place on the mountain to practice magic. However, halfway through, he received a notes from Xiao Jincheng, saying that he would come directly to the lord's mansion in Qingmu City and would have notices of important matters.

"It should be notified that we have returned to the sect! The three-year garrison time has arrived, and Qingmu Mountain seems to be relatively stable. The Blood Shadow Sect can only break through our defense unless twice as many people are sent to the Blood Shadow Sect." Jiang Chen thought to himself.

He quickly turned into a ray of escape light and headed straight to the bottom of the mountain.

When he arrived at the gate of the lord's mansion in Qingmu City, the guards checked the waist card and led him in.

After passing through a corridor, Jiang Chen entered the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion. There were about a hundred people standing here, most of whom were disciples in Qi Refining Stage, divided into eight piles according to their peaks.

Xiao Jincheng and the deacons in the foundation-building period of other peaks stood at the front of the team and stood solemnly.

The city lord of Qingmu City, Yuchi Bin, sat in the main seat.

Jiang Chen glanced at these disciples and found that they were all disciples from the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage. He thought to himself, could it be that he asked us to go back and take the big exam? But why were there no Huang Yan, Lu Ming and others?

Huang Yan and Lu Ming are also disciples of the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage, but they are in their forties and have been stationed in the No. 16 Mine Cave for many years. They are quite familiar with Jiang Chen. According to previous practice, they should also be qualified to take the big exam.

At this time, a deacon disciple who didn't know which peak it was counted, bowed to Yuchi Bin and said, "Report to Uncle Yuchi! All the disciples in the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage who were on duty in Qingmu Mountain, those under the age of thirty, have come!"

"Yeah!" Yuchi Bin touched his long beard under his jaw and said straight to the point: "I'll call you here today to inform you that the sect's grand exam will begin in one month. You can go back to the mountain to register for reference!"

When the disciples heard this, they all cheered. Although they had not encountered any major battles on duty in Qingmu Mountain over the years, according to the current situation of the two sects, Qingmu Mountain will start sooner or later. So they were a little nervous. When they went back to take the sect exam, they not only had the hope of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, but also re-arranged their affairs for the disciples after reference. At that time, they might be arranged to be stationed in a slightly safe place.

Seeing that all the disciples looked ecstatic, Yuchi Bin smiled slightly and said, "Originally, all the disciples in the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage could participate in this big test. However, due to the tense situation on the front line, all the disciples in the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage could not be transferred away. Therefore, the sect finally decided to only allow young disciples under the age of thirty who have reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage to take the big test to ensure that the most potential disciples can obtain the foundation-building pill. Therefore, you must cherish the opportunity! Try to achieve a good result for yourself and the mountain where you are!"

Then, he waved his hand and said to the disciple of the Bafeng Deacon standing in front: "You send them the documents for taking the exam and let them return to the sect immediately!"

According to the rules of the Tianmo Sect, if the disciples of the sect return to Tianmo Mountain without the transfer order, they will be considered to have left their posts without permission. This document to take the exam is almost the same as the transfer order. Especially in this severe situation.

Xiao Jincheng distributed documents to the disciples of the Demon Soul Peak to take the big exam one by one. When it was sent to Jiang Chen, he whispered to him: "You should work hard this time! Try to win a good ranking for our Demon Soul Peak! The ancestor is already very dissatisfied with the fact that our Demon Soul Peak is at the bottom of our Demon Soul Peak every time. This time his reward is said to be heavier than previous years, so you can fight for it!"

Jiang Chen felt a little stern, and Fang nodded solemnly and said gratefully: "Uncle Xiao, thank you."

To be fair, Xiao Jincheng took good care of him in the past three years. Apart from him, no disciple could practice magic while on duty. Although Jiang Chen was also helping other disciples to refine pills, there were still jealous people reporting to the Lord's Mansion of Qingmu City. However, Xiao Jincheng helped him resist.

He and Feiyu and Feimu had several local snakes harassed each other during the operation. It was Xiao Jincheng who came to say hello to the city law enforcement team, which resolved the crisis.

"Well! I originally wanted to go back with you, but it seems that the Blood Shadow Sect has had an unusual movement recently, so I dare not leave! If it is proved that the Blood Shadow Sect is just a bluff, Xiao will rush back to the sect when the big test is held!" Xiao Jincheng gently patted his shoulder and said, "Go! Try to be proud of my Demon Soul Peak!"

After Jiang Chen bid farewell to Xiao Jincheng, he did not go back to Tianmo Mountain immediately, but went to a pharmacy in Qingmu City first, preparing to say hello to Feiyu and Feimu.

Now the three of them are running this elixir shop. In the past three years, the three of them have also made a lot of profits by selling elixirs. With the guarantee of sufficient elixirs, the fat fish and the fat mule have successfully built foundations within one year and have become the foundation-building cultivators.

After entering the store, the shopkeeper saw that it was Jiang Chen who had come, so he hurriedly saluted him respectfully and said, "Saint Master Jiang, you are here. The two fat masters are about to find you."
