Chapter 102 Investigate the news
Bai Qi came into the magic circle, feeling the strong energy and blood.

Although the operation of the large formation is constantly absorbing energy and blood in the surroundings, Bai Qi can easily control the flow of his own energy and blood, and after the operation of his own God-killing Art, he can actually inhale these energy and blood into his body, continuously Strengthening one's own physique.

Whoohoo!
Qi and blood from all directions poured into Bai Qi's body like substance.

After almost an hour, Bai Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and his aura suddenly exploded.

With a loud bang, Bai Qi broke through to the ninth level of the acquired realm, and rushed to the peak of the ninth level, only a little short of reaching the innate realm.

This time, Bai Qi did not continue to break through, and retreated from the big formation, and the blood energy in the magic circle became thinner.

It is not so easy to break through the innate realm, otherwise, there would not be only a few innate masters in this world.

Even if Bai Qi is only one step away, this step is enough to stop many people.

Congenital masters focus on comprehension, they need to comprehend and master the power of heaven and earth, and in addition, they need a deep background, in short, but the body is strengthened to meet the requirements, and the body contains a lot of blood energy, and then break the innate realm in one go The bottleneck finally breaks through.

Whether it is understanding or energy, both are very important.

Of course, because it is very difficult to break through the innate, some people have gone astray, giving up the perception of the power of heaven and earth, and directly forcibly breaking through, but this kind of innate is called weak innate or pseudo-innate, and the power of heaven and earth that can be controlled is very weak , but for general Houtian warriors, it is almost invincible.

Bai Qi stopped practicing, and after groping for a while, he practiced the Killing God Art again. He strengthened his physical body just now, which caused a lot of blood loss on his body, but he could quickly replenish it through the Killing God Art.

On the contrary, after entering and exiting like this, his strength has been improved a little bit, although it is very weak, but Bai Qi can still feel it.

At least, he was sure of one thing, that is, the strange magic circle here is not dangerous, but it is a place that can speed up people's cultivation.

And paired with the Killing God Art, it is a match made in heaven.

Afterwards, he ordered to kill the soldiers of the Divine Army and enter the formation in batches to practice. The formation is only a few hundred square meters and can accommodate up to 800 people at a time.

However, at the edge of the formation, the qi and blood are extremely dense, and the speed of cultivation is not slow.

"Use the Killing God Art to increase the speed of cultivation, and at the same time avoid the loss of your own blood. Of course, you are not afraid of the loss of blood. Just suck a little more from the air."

Bai Qi said to the soldiers.

As for the qi and blood contained in the air, which is full of violent aura, Bai Qi is not afraid. There is nothing that can compare to the murderous aura like the god of death in hell. Soldiers who can practice killing gods have extremely high psychological quality, and they are not simple characters. , this bit of blood can't stump them.

As for whether there will be any side effects after the conversion of qi and blood, Bai Qi also doesn't know, but the murderous aura practice of Killing God Art also contains qi and blood, but this time it absorbs more.

Bai Qi's approach is also extremely correct. After a while, he can feel that the soldiers who are practicing are constantly breaking through the realm of cultivation.

By accident, the blood and energy gathered in the refining formation raised the overall strength of the God Killing Army by several levels.

In Yidu City, in a simple and unsophisticated palace, there are cumbersome and obscure ancient characters all over the place, forming a series of patterns, and finally gathered into a huge formation.

An old man with a sense of immortality sits in the center of the formation, and the entire formation is centered on him, maintaining a state of adjustment and operation.

Suddenly, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, with a piercing cold light in his eyes, his brows were tightly frowned, and he looked towards the east direction suspiciously.

"Sir, have you found anything?"

Next to him, a disciple in Taoist robes hurried over and asked.

This old man is the head of the Tiandao Sect and the veritable leader of the Tiandao Army.

The head of the Dizong Sect is the highest level of the Tiandao Sect, and is also the initiator of the Tiandao Army, the core figure in refining the Great Formation, and its importance is self-evident.

The old man pondered for a while, looked at the letter next to him, and finally sighed softly.

"On the east side, the magic circle guarded by Bian Anjiang and others has something strange. I can feel a lot of blood energy loss, and no longer provide energy to the eyes of the main formation."

The head of the Dizong found something strange, this was the first abnormality since the arrangement of the refining formation, and I am afraid it will not be simple.

He really wanted to see what was going on in person, but as the core figure of the refining formation, he couldn't leave for a long time.

Therefore, we can only hand it over to others.

"You go to Wuyou Village to check the situation and see if there is anything wrong with Bian Anjiang and the others. Well, it's best to take the human spirit guard with you."

The old man waved his hand and said.

"The third army of the Human Spirit Guard has been wiped out." The disciple said in embarrassment.

"Oh? Who?"

The head of Dizong was a little surprised.

Although Human Lingwei is one of the three trump cards of the Heavenly Dao Army, his combat effectiveness is not weak, and he can rank among the elite troops in the entire Shenzhou.

"It's a Jianghu man named Li Deyi. This person has been in the Jianghu for many years and has a certain reputation. Since a year ago, in the name of dealing with our Heavenly Dao Army, he has gathered a group of Jianghu rangers. This time it is said that he was ordered by King Nanjing Calling." The disciples next to him said one by one.

Although Tiandaozong is the largest sect in Jianghu, there are many hostile sects and people who hate them, otherwise Tiandaozong will be the only one in Jianghu.

Therefore, Li Deyi pulled the tiger's skin and quickly gathered an army comparable to human spirit guards.

"Then send Zhen Diwei to inquire about Li Deyi's news. There is a chance to kill him and avenge the brothers, so as not to cause the army's morale to be unstable."

After the Emperor Dizong finished speaking, he continued to close his eyes and manipulated the refining formation.

This formation is the main formation of the refining formation, which is very important. In addition, there are [-] formations scattered throughout Yidu County, and nine of them are used as transit points It exists and is mainly used to transfer Qi and blood energy.

And the formation eye captured by Bai Qi is one of the nine transit formation eyes, and its importance is self-evident.

"Yes!"

In Youjiang City, Qin Yuan left the barracks early in the morning and walked on the streets of Youjiang City.

He saw many pedestrians, looking at their attire, it didn't look like a normal city at all.

The civilian population is pitifully small, not one out of ten, and almost all the people walking on the streets are soldiers wearing all kinds of armor.

There are even quite a few people wearing official uniforms, with official titles hanging on them.

Today's Youjiang City, apart from Luodu, is probably the city with the most officials in the whole world.

If five bricks were thrown down from Zuixiangju, two county guards, two fourth-rank generals, and the last county magistrate could be hit.

Of course, the chance of being injured is not small, but the chance of being killed is not high.

Qin Yuan ate breakfast at Zuixiangju. With his identity, he was still on the seventh floor, and the guests on the same floor were at least at the level of the sheriff. The content of the discussion was unknown to many people.

Even if Qin Yuan didn't need to listen carefully, with his acquired peak listening ability, he could still hear their changes.

Even Qin Yuan could hear the conversations on the sixth and fifth floors below.

As for the eighth floor, Qin Yuan could also hear it, but unfortunately, there was no guest on it.

"Yesterday, County Guard Xiang Wendu led [-] elite soldiers into the Yiyou battlefield, but they were ambushed and wiped out. What a pity."

On the seventh floor, there was a table with three people talking.

"Yeah, life is impermanent. Yesterday the four of us were drinking and chatting, but today we are separated by yin and yang."

A person next to him sighed, and after finishing speaking, several people fell silent and drank quietly.

"General Tao deserves to be from a military family. He studied military books hard since he was a child. He led 1 people to fight [-]. In the end, he killed [-] enemies and won a big victory."

"I heard that Lin Wenduo Zhou Mu led [-] sailors to help. However, for some reason, he stopped at the port of the Minjiang branch of the Tiansha River. For some unknown reason, he has not made further progress for many days."

"I heard that it is the King of Southern Jing."

"shush"

The people at the same table quickly stopped.

They dared to talk freely about state affairs in Youjiang City, scolded the emperor for being a foolish ruler, and scolded the ministers in the court for being incompetent, but they dared not speak ill of King Nanjing.

Otherwise, the personal guards of King Nanjing would come to pick them up before they left Zuixiangju.

"I don't know if you have noticed, but I found that many corpses on the battlefield disappeared. A few days ago, I killed hundreds of soldiers in Ayin Mountain. I originally went back to bury the soldiers' corpses the next day, but in the end, I found that the corpses on the battlefield were all dead. No more Tongling."

"Impossible, I have never heard of anyone who would dispose of a corpse."

"Is there any sign of fire at the scene? Is it near a river?"

"There is no trace of fire, Ayinshan, you should know that there is a fart river."

"Could it be that it was handled by the Heavenly Dao Army? It shouldn't be. Even if you are afraid of a plague, at most you will just burn a fire. How can you move the corpse away?"

"."

The matter was weird, but no one knew the answer. After discussing it to no avail, they changed the subject.

"Have you heard that the little emperor should be born of the real Zhao Xuan and the queen mother?"

"Of course, no one in the capital knows."

"Hehehe, the dignified emperor is the illegitimate son of General Zhao, so that's interesting."

"Hahaha"

Qin Yuan heard a lot of news in Zuixiangju, but most of them were gossip or battle reports with the Heavenly Dao Army.

For a long time, there was no news about the refining formation. Presumably, only big figures like Gongsun Chi and Yuanzi knew about it, and they only knew a thing or two, and the others were not qualified.

Now there are no more than ten people in Youjiang City who know about the Great Formation of Refining.

It seems that we can only wait for the situation to change. At least some people have noticed the abnormality of the corpse. Some people suspect the King of Southern Jing, and some people suspect the Heavenly Dao Army. Once someone is careful to investigate closely, the conspiracy will be revealed sooner or later.

However, now all parties are planning secretly, and no one wants to reveal their cards so quickly. Therefore, the situation is calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent.

It seems that we can only inquire about the news from Gongsun Chi Yuanzi and others. However, the relationship between the two parties can only be regarded as acquaintance. I am afraid that I will not talk too much to Qin Yuan. Perhaps, if there are interests involved, I can get some information from them. Substantial stuff.

There are two other channels, one is the Tiandao Army, but Qin Yuan has no spies in the Tiandao Army, so it is almost impossible to inquire about news from within the Tiandao Army.

In addition, there are aristocratic families and powerful forces all over China. These forces are intricate and deep-rooted, and they must know a lot of news.

Therefore, regarding Zhuge's family, Zhuge Mo sent a letter back, wanting to know the news of King Nanjing.

However, Zhuge Mo also said not to have high hopes.

Although Zhuge Mo took refuge in Qin Yuan, he was only one of the vassals supported by his disciples.

The Zhuge family is still neutral. Unless one day, Qin Yuan's strength is recognized by the Zhuge family, they will do their best to help Qin Yuan.

After sitting in Zuixiangju for a long time and inquiring about some news, Qin Yuan went to the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce in Youjiang City.

Today's Gu family, relying on the immortal rice, has expanded their business to important cities throughout the dynasty, and almost all of them have a sub-helm.

Relying on the information obtained by his subordinates, Qin Yuan came to a shop less than 500 meters away from Zuixiangju.

Looking at the location, it is definitely in a prosperous area, and the rent of shops may not be low.

However, to Qin Yuan's disappointment, there was only one shopkeeper and two helpers left in the chamber of commerce, and the shop was empty, like an empty shell.

Under the shopkeeper's weeping narration, Qin Yuan realized that the business of the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce in Youjiang City was good, and even occupied half of the grain business in Youjiang City.

However, because of its great reputation, it attracted the attention of many people.

After King Nanjing's army arrived at Youjiang, all the food in the chamber of commerce was confiscated by King Nanjing, whether it was immortal rice or ordinary rice.

With only one chamber of commerce, facing the behemoth King Nanjing, there was no room for resistance at all.

This was not what Qin Yuan expected.

There were only some gold and silver items left in the chamber of commerce, so Qin Yuan had no choice but to accept them. After all, there were still many officials in Youjiang City who needed to take care of them.

"A letter from Bai Qi?"

Qin Yuan looked at the letter in his hand with some surprise.

Yesterday, Bai Qi did not return to Youjiang City, Qin Yuan was not surprised.

Qin Yuan also prepared to get to know Youjiang City, and personally led the Dragon Scale Army to the Yiyou Battlefield to find some prey and check the strength of the Heavenly Dao Army.

After opening the letter, Qin Yuan scanned it around. He didn't care at first, but the words in the letter made him look serious.

"If there are no accidents, this place is one of the eyes of the refining formation."

"However, it seems that the eyes of the array still need a special method to open."

"Otherwise the formation eye is just an ordinary formation eye that gathers qi and blood energy. If it cannot be opened, it will be of no use."

"If it is destroyed, I don't know if it can destroy the overall refining formation."

Qin Yuan frowned and thought for a while.

Swish!
With a shake of Qin Yuan's hand, the entire letter turned into powder and dissipated in the air.

"It seems that I have to go see Gongsun Chi, I wonder if he has a way to control the eyes of the formation."

With a low murmur, Qin Yuan led the people away from the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce and went straight to Gongsun Chi's mansion.

On the way, Qin Yuan ran into Li Deyi's group of people in a hurry.

"Brother Qin, I'm looking for you for something."

"what's up?"

Qin Yuan stopped in his tracks and looked at Li Deyi suspiciously.

"Haha, the King of Southern Jing will celebrate my achievements in a few days, and specially invite Brother Qin to join us."
