This list was not enough to truly reflect the strength of the border guards, but it was enough to measure the strength of cultivators of the same cultivation level. Thus, when the situation at the southern border of Mengyu County eased, this list was also received by the border guards.
The Dantian cultivators have the lowest cultivation level, and average strength is the weakest, so it’s not easy to obtain military exploits. Of course, not counting the Dantian cultivators in the twelfth group who are ranked first, it’s not easy to kill late stage martial arts realm cultivators, and killing them is not easy, so it’s not easy for one’s military exploits to accumulate killing aura cultivators, so it’s also very difficult to get on the list. “Yun Che said.
Liu Zhifei analyzed to the crowd the reason why the higher the cultivation level of the rankers, the fewer people were on the list.
Zhuang Guangyu picked up the list in his hands again and looked, then said: “Brother Fei is right, more than half of the cultivators in the top twenty are at the second and third stage of martial arts realm. Just say, that the second place Zhang Yueming is at the third stage of martial arts realm, and that this person is actually someone from our Mengyu County, seems like he really is worthy of being called the number one genius of the Mengyu County for the past hundred years!”
Liu Zhifei nodded when he heard it, and said: “Junior Brother Zhang is truly talented. Even if he ranks first on the list, I won’t be surprised in the slightest.”
However, Brother Fei, although the Ninth Squad’s Zhou Bi Hu is ranked lower than the top ten in the rankings, he is still ranked among the top ten in terms of combat achievements. I heard that the Heaven-Shaken Sect intends to choosrue disciple from the squadron that is on the border, but you do not have a single combat achievement on hand. Wang Zong suddenly asked at this time.
“Zhou Bihu?”
Without waiting for Liu Zhifei to speak, Xiong Chu suddenly interrupted, and said with a disdainful smile: “Do you know where the four human heads in his hands came from?”
Everyone shook their heads, and Ning Ran said: “Let me say, this Captain Zhou is just like Senior Brother Liu, he is one of the targets of the true disciples in this Heaven-Shaken Sect, but ever since the fight started, this Captain Zhou’s subordinates have been swapped out.”
Seeing everyone’s shocked expression, Ning Ran sneered: “Which is to say, although this Captain Zhou has a lot of human heads at hand, he used the lives of his subordinates to exchange for them. In reality, he is only doing it for the rights of a Successor Disciple, but he has chosen the opposite path from Senior Brother Liu.”
At the same time, a layer of admiration appeared in everyone’s eyes as they looked at Liu Zhifei. Even Yang Junshan had no choice but to treat Captain Liu with more respect in his heart, ever since Yang Junshan joined the third team, whether it was during the patrolling or sparring with the cultivators of Sirius Gate, Liu Zhifei’s actions were truly admirable.
Liu Zhifei laughed and said, “Actually, this time’s border battle is also the sect’s experience for us, the twenty late stage martial arts realm squads have accumulated four battle achievements because of this, and this is our stage for showing ourselves to the sect, it’s just that we’ve each chosen a different method. In fact, for Junior Brother Zhou, although he had changed a lot of our teammates, there are still eleven or twelve Opening Spirit School cultivators who died at the hands of the ninth team, and seven or eight of them died at his hands. It’s just that because most of these people’s cultivation is lower than his, my method is to protect and injure their teammates as much as possible.”
After listening to Liu Zhifei and the others’ explanations, the other members of the team had a better understanding of the current situation at the border. As for Zhuang Guangyu, he said to them: “Since Brother Fei is so loyal, we can’t not be your friends, furthermore we have the formation master Little Yang as our trump card. As long as you plan a few more times, we will definitely help you push you into the ranks of the true disciples.
The first few sentences were all empty words, but the last two sentences were all real words, which one of them were not full of ideas, and they naturally knew the benefits of being able to curry favor witrue disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, even though Liu Zhifei was only a candidate to become a true disciple, what if he really became a true disciple?
Liu Zhifei laughed: “Recently, the borders will be peaceful foeriod of time. Because this proposal has the approval of the three Adept Realm Cultivator s, the Ling Zhang County s and the Huyao County s, during the period of time that the borders will be peaceful, all kinds of border provocations will be banned.
Zhuang Guangyu slapped his thigh, and said: “Aiya, that’s truly a pity, but this opening up would garner the attention of the Adept Realm Cultivator, I think it will be a big scene, I don’t know if we can take some time to broaden our horizons … …”
Yang Junshan looked at Liu Zhifei, and then at the happy Zhuang Guangyu, and smiled in his heart, he then joined in the heated discussion.
After a few days, Yang Junshan and Ouyang Xulin’s promised date was almost the same, but the situation at the border had also greatly eased down. Thus, he asked Liu Zhifei for a leave to go to the Sha Tian Village’s replenishment market.
This time, Yang Junshan easily and familiarly found Ouyang Xulin’s Refining Department at Sha Tian Village. However, at this time, there were quite a few people waiting in the small courtyard.
These few assistants had obviously received Ouyang Xulin’s care in advance, when Yang Junshan found an assistant to announce his name, he brought him to the small courtyard in the back hall.
Just as he turned the screen in the rear hall, a wave of blazing heat welcomed him head-on. From afar, he saw a copper furnace burning with blazing green flames, and the surging heat even made Ouyang Xulin, who was standing next to the copper furnace, feel a bit ethereal.
“But the Yang brothers are here? “Just wait a moment, until I finish my work.” Ouyang Xulin’s tone carried a tinge of weariness.
The spirit energy around Yang Junshan surged, and slowly pushed away the heat wave that was pouncing towards him. Looking from afar, the turbulent air currents a foot away from him calmed down.
“I’m not busy, just busy yourself with what you need to do first!”
Yang Junshan could see clearly that there was a spirit artifact swimming within the flames within the copper furnace, and Ouyang Xulin who was at the side was constantly walking around the copper furnace, both of his eyes fixed on the center of the copper furnace and from time to time, both of his hands would form hand seals. Every time he chanted a technique, the flames within the copper furnace would either become stronger, or weakened, or the flames would change color, or the spirit artifacts within the copper furnace would fluctuate up and down, not going one aime.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Ouyang Xulin suddenly snorted, his hands caressed the empty air, causing the flames in the copper furnace to suddenly extinguish, and a buzzing sound came out.
Ouyang Xulin lightly tapped on the copper cauldron, and a ray of golden light jumped out. As he grasped the copper cauldron in his hand, it was actually a golden, short, staff-like artifact.
After that, Ouyang Xulin snapped his fingers and an assistant walked in. He then instructed: “Hand this magical equipment to Senior Brother Zhou in the ninth squad and tell him that if he still does not know how to cherish the magical equipment in his hands, the next time the magical equipment is damaged again, it will not be so easy to repair.”
The assistant took the artifact from Ouyang Xulin’s hands as he bent down to receive it. Then, he walked towards the front courtyard of the small courtyard, while Ouyang Xulin was already walking towards Yang Junshan.
“You even used an assistant. I can see that you are doing quite well in Heaven-Shaken Sect.” Yang Junshan laughed.
Originally, there was no need for it, “Ouyang Xulin smiled and explained:” The possibility of magical equipment being damaged was very small, but my small courtyard was not comparable to the small courtyard for refining pills or refining talismans, it was truly filled with people, and because of the matter of the field, the borders had calmed down, so many cultivators with magical equipment took this opportunity to rush over to my place to take care of them, and also needed me to repair them, but the injuries were not too great, so I was busy for a few days.
Yang Junshan asked again: “You said that the repaired magical equipment is the Ninth team’s cultivator, with the surname Zhou, could it be that he is the team’s current leader, Zhou Ba Hu?”
“Oh, you know him?” Ouyang Xulin was surprised at first, but then he thought of something and laughed: “That’s true, the border guards cultivators have recently gotten a list of meritorious service for their lives, Senior Brother Zhou is ranked on it, and I know that you are ranked near the top, so it isn’t strange for you to be on it too.”
Yang Junshan laughed, and avoided the topic and quickly asked: How is it, did you finish refining it?
Ouyang Xulin laughed: “Needless to say, back then I was even able to refine low rank magic tools that can fuse with 12 different types of spirit materials, not to mention the fact that the difficulty of refining this bow is much lower than that of the Mountain Monarch Seal.”
Yang Junshan followed behind Ouyang Xulin and intrivate room. On a small table in the corner of the room, there was a long wooden box, which Ouyang Xulin brought over and opened in front of Yang Junshan. A cold feeling instantly burst out from the box.
When Yang Junshan lowered his head to look, he saw a four feet long white bone bow laid in the middle of the wooden box. The bow arm was sculpted into a curved white snake, the snake head was facing downwards, and the middle part where the snake head was holding onto was a fine and fine scale. The crystal clear bowstring was connected to the two ends of the bow arm, and if one did not look carefully, one would not even be able to see the bowstring.
A look of joy appeared on Yang Junshan’s face as he extended his hand out to take out the longbow from the wooden box. However, the moment the longbow appeared to be in his hands, he feleavy weight on it.
Seeing that Yang Junshan was about to pull the longbow in his hand, Ouyang Xulin reminded him: “This longbow magic tool is not ordinary, when used it, it requires a cultivator’s spirit energy, and it also requires a cultivator’s strong arm strength, moreover, the cultivator’s body is extremely dependent on it …”
Ouyang Xulin had not even finished speaking when he was stunned to see the longbow, which had been following Yang Junshan’s arms, open wide. His right hand loosened the bowstring, and a muffled “weng” sound rang out, as if an invisible force had already shot out.
“Good bow, good magic tool, should I give it a name?”
“Let’s call it Snake Kiss, Snake Kiss Bow!”
