Chapter 625 Blood Refinement (1)
As time enters August, the days of blood training for Wanxianshan Sect are gradually approaching.
There were more than 100 children from Dongdu who received the blood refining recommendation letter. After the family trial, sixteen people had become quasi-outer disciples of Wanxian Mountain. In addition, there were four or five hundred families and slaves who were seeing him off. First, they rushed to Zhaoquancheng, the county seat, and after they arrived at Zhaoquancheng, they gathered tens of thousands of people and then rushed to Wanxian Mountain.
At this time, Chen Hai could already see that the sects in Xingheng Domain had the same problem as Yanzhou, which was the differentiation and division between the sect clans and the poor clans, which was extremely serious.
The so-called family trial was initially stipulated that the county government recommended outer disciples, and the final recommendation quota was monopolized by the county government's clan, which turned into the current family trial. This made Zhaoquan County receive the official recommendation letter this time, and has become more than 300 quasi-external disciples in Wanxian Mountain. None of them came from outside the clan, and they were mainly children of the clan branch.
These more than 300 people all regarded themselves very high. Although they were nothing to Wanxian Mountain, they regarded themselves very high in local counties and their respective clans. They regarded themselves as the pride of heaven. The youngest was eleven or twelve years old. Although their cultivation was not very high, they also seemed extraordinary. The elderly were fifteen or sixteen years old. A considerable number of people had opened the Secret Palace of the Spirit Sea and entered the Spirit-Breaking Realm. This time they entered the sect, they were all wearing glamorous spiritual armor, spiritual robes, tall and mighty spirit beasts, spirit riders, and high-grade spirit birds. There were even followers with strong cultivation.
The more than 2,000 disciples who received the blood refining recommendation letter in Zhaoquan County accounted for almost half of the children of the sect and the poor disciples. Even if this proportion is mandatory by Wanxian Mountain, there are also great tricks in it.
Because among the thousands of poor disciples, there are quite a few people, who are subordinates of Wu Jiang and other tribes, and they are arranged to participate in blood refining. The main purpose is, in addition to assisting and protecting the more important children of Wu Jiang and other tribes to successfully pass blood refining, they will soon be unable to pass blood refining in the future, and will also leave the body of a traitor disciple in Wanxian Mountain to continue serving the core disciples of the clan.
This is also the most important path for promotion for poor families.
There are actually only more than a hundred poor children who have no direct relationship with the sect. They have no cultivation resources and take more martial arts training routes. The situation is quite difficult. A considerable number of people don’t even have a seat to travel with them. They can only follow the large army and walk to Wanxian Mountain with their feet.
The Blood Refining Field is not a mysterious place. It is just a secret realm similar to the Blood Cloud Wasteland. Its range is much smaller than the Blood Cloud Wasteland. The world is more incomplete than the Blood Cloud Wasteland. The human race cannot live and reproduce in it, but it breeds some low-level monsters.
In order to prevent the breeding of powerful demons, Wanxianshan regarded this secret realm as a blood refining ground for disciples to assess. Every once in a while, he would send his disciples to clear them up. Because the laws of heaven and earth in the blood refining ground are incomplete, let alone the heavenly realm realm, even the Taoist fetal realm masters have no way to enter the blood refining ground, and they can only send their disciples in.
Few people rely on their personal strength to get enough results in the Blood Refining Field to kill demons, but rely more on teamwork.
This time, the Jiang family in Dongdu is trying to ensure that ten additional children can become outer disciples of Wanxian Mountain through blood refining. Once the Jiang family in Dongdu has enough magic killing skills to recommend ten people, there will inevitably be a place for Jiang Xuan.
This is the promise Jiang Zhen, the ancestor of the Jiang family in Dongdu, to Jiang Yuwei. Jiang Zhen also asked the children of the Jiang family who entered the blood refining field to give priority to protecting Jiang Xuan's safety.
Without these, Jiang Yuwei would not have let her sister participate in the blood refining; therefore, Jiang Yuwei could not directly take Jiang Xuan to Wanxian Mountain first, or follow the large army with her family.
After more than a month of trekking, the large army reached the end of a plain, and could see a vastness in the distance from afar. As we walked forward, the spiritual energy in front gradually became abundant, and a steep mountain rose up from the ground, lying across there like a giant dragon.
After stepping into Wanxian Mountain, not only did the spiritual energy scattered in the mountains and forests become more abundant, but also saw rays of light roaring across the sky from time to time. Occasionally, there were huge boats floating in the air, revealing their huge and elegant figures from the clouds, covering the sky and the sun and flying into the distance.
This is the existence of Wanxian Mountain, the top sect in Chongguo.
Although Chen Hai has a good vision, he couldn't help but admire Lianlian after coming to Wanxian Mountain.
***************************
Before entering the sect, the quasi-outer disciples and blood refining disciples were temporarily arranged in Quantai Valley outside the mountain gate. Because there are too many disciples participating in Blood Refining every year, the family members of the Blood Refining disciples are prohibited from entering Quantai Valley, but with the care of the outer deacon Wu Zun, the elder of the outer sect, Jiang Yuwei and his family were arranged to live in Quantai Valley.
Quantai Valley is located in the southeast foothills of Wanxian Mountain, occupying more than 20 miles in radius. Most of the families of Wanxian Mountain disciples, who follow them to Wanxian Mountain, live here in a concentrated manner. It is strictly forbidden to run around in Wanxian Mountain. But the same is true. Wanxian Mountain is the most lively and secular place.
Standing on the ridge of the mountain, looking down, the spring and terrace valley are lined up one after another, and there are more than 2,000 courtyards in the disciple's hall alone, like a big city in the deep mountains.
The house arranged by Wu Zun for Jiang Yuwei's house is deep in Quantai Valley. The house is not big, but it also has a three-in-one pattern. It is built with good birch wood and is extremely elegant. The house is facing a deep pool. A few hundred meters ahead are several waterfalls that have flowed for years. Standing in the room, you can hear the sound of water coming faintly. It is a unique tranquility, and Jiang Yuwei's family is quite satisfied.
Three days after settling down, the blood refining of the sect officially began.
On that day, Wanxian Mountain dispatched a giant floating boat to send Chen Hai with Jiang Xuan, Jiang Yuwei and other blood-refining disciples in Zhaoquan County to a deep valley about three or four thousand miles away from Quantai Valley, on the western foot of Wanxian Mountain.
In the valley thousands of feet in a radius, there were dense crowds of 30,000 to 40,000 people, and the counties were still lined up in more than a dozen square formations.
To be able to participate in the blood training of the sect, you must at least have the cultivation level of the Tongxuan Realm. That is to say, in the areas controlled by Wanxian Mountain, there are 30,000 to 40,000 young disciples of the same age as Jiang Xuan emerged every year, not to mention that among these blood training disciples, there are 30,000 more superior quasi-outer disciples who have more potential to join Wanxian Mountain in the practice of Wanxian Mountain - Wanxian Mountain. Even if you don’t mention those high-ranking heavenly realm peerless powerful masters, even if you only weigh the pros and cons of the grassroots disciples, your potential is almost as good as the entire Yanzhou continent.
In Xingheng Domain, Wanxian Mountain can only be a second-rate sect in the human society. No wonder the human race in Xingheng Domain can directly face the threat of the Rakshasa blood demon, not only can it keep it from being at a disadvantage, but sometimes it can also fight back.
"Although you have the help of the demons, even I don't dare to leave the team and break into the depths of the blood refining field to show off. And you only need to follow Jiang Ze and the others, just stick to the end, without any accidents, walk out of the blood refining field, and become an outer disciple of Wanxian Mountain. There is no problem..."
While Jiang Yuwei was instructing him to take Jiang Xuan to the field, Chen Hai followed them and looked around and found that among the 30,000 to 40,000 people, quite a few of them were carrying demons or spirit beasts; there were also many young men, and the breath they exposed showed that they were carrying quite strong self-defense magic weapons.
The disciples of Tongxuan Realm cannot accumulate true energy and cannot continue to sacrifice magic weapons, but they can have one or two magic weapons to protect themselves, plus more defenses and attack Taoist talismans. Moreover, with their demons and spiritual beasts as flesh shields, their combat power is still not to be underestimated. This is something that poor disciples cannot match.
Chen Hai sighed. It seems that no matter which world it is, this kind of injustice always exists.
In the middle of the valley, there is a high platform of stones. The huge copper pillars with nine pillars rising from the ground are even more impressive, as if they are with the heaven and the earth. Even if they stand tall there, they will give people a sense of unity with the mountains.
The copper pillar carved some reliefs of ancient gods, demons and beasts, which looked ancient and clumsy, revealing an extremely majestic aura. It is definitely the existence of super heavenly magic weapons. Wanxian Mountain uses these nine Taoist copper pillars to maintain the space channel to the blood refining field?
Above the nine copper pillars, a dark cloud was shrouded in it, and the aura of the space storm that Chen Hai was familiar with came out, and we knew that it was the entrance to the blood refining field.
At this time, two middle-aged Xuan Xiu flew over from the high platform. Jiang Yuwei said to Jiang Xuan: "Jiang Xuan, come and see the ancestor Wu Zun and the ancestor Ming Chuan..."
Chen Hai looked at these two people secretly, and they actually had late-stage cultivation in the Daofei realm. He thought to himself that Xingfeng Realm is really full of Daodan realm, and Daofei is as numerous as a dog.
Wu Zun and Jiang Ming Chuan also saw Jiang Yuwei's face and encouraged Jiang Xuan for a while. Then, Jiang Yuwei took Jiang Xuan to the square formation of Zhaoquan County and found more than 40 blood-refining disciples of the Jiang family in the Eastern Capital, and then turned around and flew to the high platform.
Half a stick of incense was passed, and a few melodious bells came from the high platform. The valley that was still noisy just now was silent. At this time, the dark clouds above the platform slowly dissipated, revealing a bizarre light, as if a stream scattered across the magneto-light river above the valley.
Such a magneto-light river can only be said to be a crack in the heavenly realm. Not to mention humans, any thing throws in will be crushed into nothingness by the space storm. Wanxian Mountain needs to use the magic array on the platform to use this crack in the heavenly realm that exists between Wanxian Mountain and the blood refining field to form a stable channel and send people into it.
More than a hundred disciples with at least Mingqiao realm who had the cultivation level of the Mingqiao realm cast spells and destroyed the magic array together, and finally spread the magneto-light river. At this time, Jiang Mingchuan also threw a jade ruler to form a cloud bridge between the magneto-light river and the valley that the disciples could step into.
Wu Zun, who was standing in front of the platform, nodded and condensed a water mirror several feet in the air. A scale-skinned skin was pitch black. In addition to the normal thick scale limbs, the armpit claw demon with sharp claws appeared in the water mirror. He coughed lightly and sent a grand and majestic voice throughout the valley: "The blood training of the Wanxian Mountain Sect in the fifth year of Jianxing. Now, this blood training lasts for three months. After three months, the heavenly realm channel will be reopened in its original position. The merit is based on the number of armpit claws collected by this demon. The first thousand people will enter my Wanxian Mountain, and the rest of the people will be servile to the Wanxian Mountain or enter the army depending on the merit."
While the majestic voice was still circling in the valley, various square formations, led by disciples of Wanxian Mountain, stepped into the magneto-light river in an orderly manner from the cloud bridge.
Chen Hai followed Jiang Xuan and slowly stepped into the magneto-light river.
It was quite the last time experience. This time travel was extremely relaxed for him. His mind was dizzy and he recovered. However, others did not have the strong physique like him. Including Jiang Xuan, he looked dizzy when he fell to the ground.
Chen Hai looked around and felt that the world of the heaven and earth was dim, and the magneto-light river was in the valley behind them. After all the blood refining disciples came in, the magneto-light river quickly shrank to about a meter wide, which means that within three months, they would not be able to return to the Xingfeng Domain.
At this time, he was on a wasteland, without the appearance of the sun, moon, and stars, and probably without the spiritual springs, spiritual veins, the swelling of the rouge of storm and the almost bloody smell hidden in the air.
On the wasteland, mountains and ridges are crisscrossing, and rivers are crisscrossing in the distance. But I really encountered a ghost. Such a world with abundant water sources only has extremely sparse plants and trees growing, struggling to grow between the gaps of the mountains.
If it weren't for all the disciples of the Jiang family in Dongdu, Chen Hai would have wanted to take a few Taoist talismans to try the blood refining field, was it because the world was incomplete and the five elements of the Gangyuan were unbalanced, which made it difficult for vegetation to survive?
At this time, the blood refining disciples were already in groups of three or five, rushing towards the depths of the wasteland.
No danger was noticed near the wasteland, so Chen Hai sat cross-legged and waited for the crowd to recover.
After half a stick of incense, more than 40 blood-refining disciples from the Jiang family in Dongdu recovered one after another.
Jiang Ze is a fifteen-year-old boy. He is the nephew of Jiang Zhen, the lord of Dongdu City. He has a good understanding. He has already broken through four spiritual veins, opened up the Spirit Secret Palace, and entered the Spirit-Breaking Realm. However, he accidentally failed in this family trial and fell out of ten. He was unable to get a ticket to enter Wanxian Mountain to practice.
Jiang Zeda can wait until his cultivation level is upgraded to the next level next year before participating in the family trial, but he is arrogant and determined to participate in the blood training. This year he wants to enter Wanxian Mountain to practice. He is also the leader of the Jiang family in Dongdu for more than 40 blood training disciples.
The blood-refining children of Wu's family in the Eastern Capital were led by Wu Mingfan, and there were about forty people. After a while, they headed to the depths of the wasteland.
When Wu Mingfan left, his eyes looked at Jiang Xuan with a little vicious look, and Chen Hai smiled in his heart, knowing that this kid might have naively mistakenly thought that in this foreign land without the constraints of the sect law and the existence of a stronger cultivation, he would definitely be good-looking for Jiang Xuan.
Soon, Jiang Ze also led more than 40 people from the Jiang family in Dongdu to the depths of the wasteland. They landed behind other teams and walked for a day. Along the way, they saw the remains of armpit claw demons and other monsters killed by other teams. Whenever they saw the remains of monsters, Jiang Ze would lead the team to change directions to avoid taking a repeated path with other teams.
Chen Hai thought to himself that there were no wonder that there were many casualties every time the Blood Refining refining, and even the entire army was often destroyed. The qualification of a thousand people actually blocked the possibility of all Blood Refining disciples joining forces. In addition, the sects and clans in the county governments were full of conflicts, and they split the 30,000 to 40,000 Blood Refining disciples into 30 to 40 teams and into the wasteland. Once an accident occurs, how can there be no heavy casualties?
It may also be that Wanxianshan did it on purpose, thinking of selecting a group of truly firm and outstanding disciples in this cruel and bloody way.
When almost half of the people were tired again, Jiang Ze chose to camp next to a river with a large water level.
Jiang Xuan came to Jiang Ze and said in confusion: "My sister said that in the blood refining ground, the terrain on both sides of the river is open, which is easy to attract raids from monsters. It is not a good place to camp. Why don't we choose a place with terrain to guard?"
Jiang Ze said with a high opinion: "We participated in the Wanxian Mountain Blood Training, just to temper our minds and minds in a lifetime of death, so as to step into the Wanxian Mountain Sect. If we are just afraid of danger, we will find some safe places to hide. What is the point of participating in this blood training? So we must know that there are tigers in the mountain and go to Tiger Mountain. If there are really monsters who dare to attack the camp, then we will kill more so that we can get enough of the devil-killing achievements for everyone to enter the mountain gate..."
Jiang Ze talked here, and heard the teenagers' blood boiling, wishing that a large group of armpit claw demons would appear in front of them now and let them kill them at will.
"..." Jiang Xuan thought about it and felt that what Jiang Ze said was reasonable, so she sat back and merged the two short halberds into a battle halberd, but she was very alert.
Even low-level monsters are much taller and much stronger than human race. Most people like Jiang Xuan cannot sacrifice the Imperial Sword, magic weapons to defend against enemies, and the number of Taoist talismans with them is limited. Fighting with monsters with strong skin and thick flesh, fighting halberds, heavy shields, and swords are much more practical than swords that take the light and spiritual route.
Jiang Xuan was tall and wore a dragon scale armor and held a battle halberd in her hand. She immediately became more of the Valkyrie's heroic posture from the spoiled girl.
Chen Hai held his huge and ugly head and leaned on a ridge to rest. Listening to these teenagers, the girls were talking passionately, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. They were really a group of little guys who didn't know how to write the word "death".
If you encounter a small group of monsters, these people will naturally be able to withstand it easily, but this blood training will last for a total of three months. Who knows what will happen? Now you are so careless. Not to mention getting enough money to let ten people enter the sect, it would be great if ten people survived.
Although everyone had enough low-level fasting pills to eat, the teenagers found fish in the river, and the crowd laughed and ran over to get the spirit sword, spearing in the water, thinking of having a sumptuous bonfire dinner.
Jiang Xuan also found it interesting, and Chen Hai just followed Jiang Xuan calmly.
More than forty people scattered hundreds of meters away to catch edible fish and beasts. Occasionally, a big fish was stabbed up, and there was a burst of cheers. Suddenly, Chen Hai, who had been standing beside Jiang Xuan, closed his eyes and rested, suddenly felt a wave of hidden waves flowing down the calm water, opened his eyes and shouted: "Be careful!"
Before Chen Hai finished speaking, a tentacle like a long snake stabbed out of the water like a crossbow arrow, and wrapped it around the waist of the young man wearing green armor by the river.
This incident happened suddenly, and everyone couldn't react and watched the boy dragged into the tumultuous river.
Chen Hai was faster, stepped into the river, and grabbed the sticky tentacle that was not much thinner than the boy's waist, and his sharp claws penetrated deep into the tentacle-like wrist feet like steel needles.
The monster under the water also felt pain. When the tentacles were loose, the boy fell heavily. Jiang Ze still had to react faster. At this time, he rushed out, caught the boy, and then stepped on the water to return to the shore. However, the others had not yet reacted. Five tentacles rushed out of the river together and tangled towards Chen Hai.
Chapter completed!
