In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Half a day later, Han Li and his team of monks finally arrived at the Yue Kingdom's seven-sect camp in Jinguyuan, at the junction of the Yue Kingdom and the Cheqi Kingdom.

Led by the monk surnamed Huan, a group of people flew directly into the camp covered by the formation. At the same time, several monks from the Seven Sects flew out from here to greet them.

Wooden houses and stone houses of different sizes are looming in the forbidden formation, arranged in a mess with no rules at all. These are the temporary houses built by the cultivators here using wood or earth Taoism. Of course, this is to divide the areas according to sects.

After confirming their identities, the monk surnamed Huan was responsible for delivering the spirit stones. The remaining dozen or so people were taken to a wooden house to rest temporarily.

"This mission is over, we can be stable for a while again." A chubby monk from Spirit Beast Mountain said with a wide smile.

"I hope so, but even if I am assigned a mission, it should be easier." Another person also speculated quite confidently.

After hearing what these two people said, Han Li couldn't help but sneer in his heart. What kind of safe mission is there to fight with Liudao now? Last time he almost died even guarding a spirit stone mine.

But what surprised him was that, logically, the mission was completed. Even if he was not allowed to go back immediately, he should still be allowed to report to his respective sect's station first. This made Han Li a little uneasy. According to his experience, the more abnormal something is, the more trouble and danger it represents.

Sure enough, after a while, the door of the wooden house was pushed open, and several foundation-building monks walked in. Basically, they all belong to the three sects of Hiding Moon Sect, Huadaowu Sect, and Qingxu Sect, and their cultivation levels are all in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"Fellow Taoists, I have brought you the latest transfer order. From today on, you will stay in Jinguyuan and there is no need to return to the sect!"

"What! We just completed a task, why don't we let us rest for a few months?" the fat man from Spirit Beast Mountain said dissatisfied.

"Fellow Taoist, you can say this to Senior Jiedan, we just convey the order. Now tell us your name and cultivation level so that we can form your formation." The speaker was the late-stage foundation-building monk from Qingxu Sect. He seemed to have already guessed When it came to everyone's reaction, they were not used to it at all.

Although everyone complained, they could only report their identities obediently.

The other party has warrants signed by the leaders of each faction, and now there are disciples from the seven factions who are shrinking from the battle and using excuses to avoid task recruitment, so the punishment is very severe. It can range from punishing you with spiritual stones to punishing you with spiritual stones, or even destroying your magic power. This is merciless!

At this moment, the man from the Hidden Moon Sect noticed Han Li, looked at his clothes for a long time, and suddenly said: "This fellow Taoist is from Huang Maple Valley, right? There happens to be a patrol mission that is short of manpower. Could you please leave, fellow Taoist?" Take a trip."

After saying that, regardless of whether Han Li agreed or not, he directly took out the seven factions' warrants.

Han Li frowned when he saw this. He instinctively felt that something was fishy. Then he looked at several other late-stage foundation-building monks, but those people seemed to have become accustomed to it, and they all had no objections, so they acquiesced to the matter.

Only the man from the Qingxu Sect took out a book and said to Han Li: "Fellow Taoist, please tell me your name and get ready."

"Han Li, mid-stage foundation building!" Han Li gritted his teeth secretly, but said it honestly. After all, these people were in the later stages of foundation building, and their cultivation levels were not a little higher than his. He was not willing to offend them easily.

"Han Li?"

"Han Li from Yellow Maple Valley!" The man's expression changed after hearing this, and he looked up and down.

"Exactly, is there anything wrong?"

"No, it's just that I have another transfer order here, which is issued to you separately, fellow Taoist."

"For me?" Han Li was a little confused. Two consecutive transfer orders were issued to him, which made him feel that someone was clearly obstructing them.

"Yes, from now on, fellow Taoists no longer need to obey the orders of the seven sects. You can go to the central tent now and make your own arrangements then." The man said with a smile on his face, and then called a monk named Yan , preparing to lead Han Li away.

"I have just given a task to Fellow Daoist Han. What does Fellow Daoist Mao mean by this?" The monk from the Hidden Moon Sect quit and reached out to stop the two of them.

"It's not interesting. I have been told by the superiors that Fellow Daoist Han has other arrangements. You don't have to follow our orders."

"The authority of this transfer order is the highest level. We have no right to interfere." The monk surnamed Mao said, and then motioned to Han Li and others to leave quickly.

Although Han Li still had some doubts, judging from the current situation, it seemed that the man from the Hidden Moon Sect wanted to keep him, and he must have bad intentions. Thinking of this, Han Li hugged the monk named Mao and turned around to leave.

After leaving the wooden house, the monk surnamed Yan led Han Li straight to the center of the camp.

On the way, Han Li tried to find out the specific information about the transfer order. But the monk surnamed Yan said that such transfer orders are usually issued by seniors in the Danjie stage. In order to prevent being spied on by demonic spies, the level was set very high, so they didn't know the specific content.

They were only responsible for bringing Han Li to the central area, and the specific location was specified in the transfer order.

Alchemy monk?

Han Li's heart moved. When he was in Huang Maple Valley, he had learned that Li Huayuan was in Jinguyuan. It seems that Li Huayuan knew that he was coming and made arrangements in advance.

On the way, when they passed by a wooden house covering an area of ​​fifty or sixty feet, Han Li stopped in his tracks. This large wooden house was painted golden yellow. Under the setting sun, it sparkled as if it were made of pure gold.

"This is a place for everyone to exchange. It has almost everything from medicinal herbs to magical weapons and techniques, and all kinds of rare items. Do you want to see it, fellow Taoist Han?" The monk surnamed Yan saw what Han Li was thinking and smiled. asked.

Han Li nodded in confusion. Over the past three years, he had also searched for some elixir recipes, but some of the herbs in them were relatively rare, and he had not found them despite all his efforts. Since this place has such a location, it cannot be missed.

Once inside, the house was bustling with activity. There were dozens of monks setting up stalls in the house, trading something, and many monks were bargaining with the stall owners or selecting items on the stalls.

But the most eye-catching thing is a high platform in the middle of the house. On the high platform stood two blue stone tablets several feet high and three feet wide. There's a sparkle on it. One is engraved with the names of many people, and there is a number behind the names.

Han Li took a moment to look at it. The one at the top was a Tianque Fort monk named Ma Yunlong. He was in the late stage of foundation building. The number marked on the back was 'One Hundred and Thirty'.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, what is this for?" Han Li asked, pointing to the bluestone tablet.

"This is a monument of meritorious service. Don't you know, fellow Daoist Han?"

"Please also ask fellow Taoist Yan to give me some advice."

The so-called meritorious deeds were established by the seven sects to encourage their disciples to work with all their might when fighting against the six demon sects.

To this end, the seven sects also came up with a lot of good things, including rare elixir recipes, top-level magic weapons, techniques, materials, etc. Each type has a clear price tag, and as long as you have enough merit, you can exchange it for it.

Of course, if you don't want any of these, you can apply for a truce and not participate in the fight against the Six Demonic Sects after you have accumulated enough merits.

As for obtaining meritorious deeds, the more people in the demonic path you kill, the higher your meritorious deeds will be. Of course, the amount of merit depends on what kind of opponent is killed.

Every time a disciple of the demonic path is killed, there will be a meritorious deed. The tide of killing and establishing the foundation naturally rises. The early stage is worth ten meritorious deeds, the middle stage is worth twenty meritorious deeds, and the late stage is worth fifty meritorious deeds.

If you can kill a pill-forming monk, that would be great, with a total of 500 meritorious deeds.

"Is there such a thing?" Han Li asked with interest while holding his chin.

"Naturally, otherwise who would want to go to the battlefield to fight the devil to the death."

Han Li nodded, that was indeed the case.

Another bluestone tablet has many skills, materials, medicinal herbs, etc. on it. Each item is also marked with a number, which should be the required merit.

Han Li discovered that the more precious something is, the larger the number is. He even saw several things inside that he urgently needed, but the merit required for those things was very high.

Han Li estimated that if he wanted to exchange them all, he would have to kill at least two late-stage foundation-building monks. In other words, six or seven people are in the middle stage of foundation building. This is not an easy task.

Suddenly he thought of something and quickly read the dozens of names on the first tablet.

This merit list is arranged from top to bottom according to the amount of merit. The last person's merit is thirty. But the strange thing is that Lu Yuan's name was not found until the end.

That's not right. With his junior brother's name as the Old Demon Eviscerating Bones, he shouldn't be able to get even thirty points of merit.

Although Han Li had doubts, he was cautious by nature and did not ask the monk surnamed Yan after taking a casual stroll. The two left here and continued to rush to the center of the formation.

In the center of the formation, there are extremely comfortable houses everywhere, which are many times better than the shabby wooden houses and stone houses on the periphery. Han Li was not surprised by this. As Li Huayuan was a monk in the alchemy stage, his residence was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary monks!

After being interrogated several times, the two stopped in front of a house numbered 'Tianzi No. 20'.

"This is it. Fellow Taoist, please come in. I won't disturb you." After the monk surnamed Yan finished speaking, he said goodbye with great care.

Han Li straightened his clothes, and then said to the room very respectfully: "Disciple Han Li, I came here to pay my respects to the master!"

But there was no response from the house.

Han Li had no choice but to shout again: "Disciple Han Li, come here to pay homage to Master!"

For a long time, there was still no response from the house.

After Han Li shouted six or seven times in a row, a response finally came from inside.

"come in!"

Han Li frowned. This voice was not Li Huayuan. But it seemed familiar, but it wasn't any of my acquaintances.

"Why don't you come in! Is Li Huayuan's disciple so uneducated?" Seeing that Han Li had not moved for a long time, the voice inside was a little dissatisfied.

Han Li was shocked. He could call Li Huayuan by his first name. Could he be an alchemy monk from another sect? If so, you must go in and pay a visit.

With some anxiety in his mind, Han Li forced himself to open the door. But when he entered the living room and saw the person sitting on the chair, his lungs immediately exploded with anger!

"You! You still use a falsetto, you do it on purpose, right?"

"What are you doing? Why don't you worship me when you see me?"

"Okay! Disciple Han Li, pay your respects to the Old Eviscerate Demon!" Han Li said, but he quickly walked forward and started punching.

......

"How about it, Senior Brother Han? The place we have made is pretty good, right?" Lu Yuan and Zhang Tie held a Shenhun cigarette in their mouths, and the room was filled with smoke.

"That's right, that's right. Isn't this the kind of treatment only alchemy monks get? How do you qualify to live here?" Han Li wrinkled his nose and fanned the second-hand smoke in front of his eyes.

"We exchanged our merits for it." Zhang Tie said proudly.

"Then how many achievements have you made?"

"Currently, I have twenty meritorious deeds, and my senior brother has zero." Zhang Tie said.

"Only twenty?" Han Li didn't believe it.

"There is no way. Originally, Senior Brother Lu had nearly 200 meritorious deeds and was ranked first among the seven sects in the foundation building period. Later, he spent all his money on this house."

"What! You're a loser, why can't you save some for me!" Han Li was immediately furious when he heard this. Two hundred meritorious deeds were enough to exchange for the things he desperately needed.

"What a prodigal? If I don't live here, how can I transfer you out?" Lu Yuan glanced sideways at Han Li, as if he was biting Lu Dongbin and not recognizing good people.

"Transfer me out? That transfer order came from you!" Han Li understood immediately.

"It's not me or who else, do you think Li Huayuan would be willing to do this?"

"It's not that easy to get along in Jinguyuan." Lu Yuan motioned Han Li to sit down, and then slowly taught him a lesson.

Nowadays, the Six Demonic Sects and the Seven Yue Sects each have more than 10,000 people, facing each other at a distance on both sides of Jinguyuan.

After the first two wars, there is now a strange war of one big fight every month and smaller ones every day.

The so-called big fight means that each side sends a team of thousands of people to fight against each other. The small battle means that both sides send a certain amount of monks, either in small groups or alone, in the center of Jinguyuan to hunt each other's monks.

Needless to say, there was a big fight, although the fight between the two sides was lively enough. But once the barrier shield is opened, no one can easily hurt the other party, and the number of casualties is very few. However, participating in such an operation generally results in few meritorious deeds.

And it's not 100% safe. Both sides are really desperate. When a concentrated fire comes, no matter whether you are in the Qi refining stage or the foundation building stage, you will suffer casualties in large numbers, and even die without leaving a trace.

Especially in a big fight, if the number of pill-forming monks is unequal, you have to send a phalanx of a hundred people to resist. However, this kind of phalanx can only passively defend against the alchemy monks. Generally speaking, it is difficult for a few people to come back alive if they go up.

People like those who came with Han Li today will most likely be incorporated into a certain phalanx, and they may become cannon fodder one day.

As for the small fight, it's much better. Not only are there no restrictions, but as long as you can kill your opponent, you can gain merit.

"In that case, even if you are assigned to a certain phalanx, you will not be able to participate in the daily small battles?" Han Li thought about it for a long time, but still felt that Lu Yuan's meritorious service was a bit wasted.

"It's not that simple. Do you know how Xiaoda came about?" Lu Yuan continued to popularize science.

After each big fight, the spiritual stone magic tools and talismans of both sides are relatively consumed, and it takes about a month to replenish them.

During this period, in order to prevent sneak attacks, both sides will send small teams out to patrol. Generally, the strength of the patrol team is not too strong, that is, a foundation-building monk can lead a dozen Qi refining periods.

But in the eyes of Mo Dao, such a team is just a benefit that comes to their doorstep. The demonic path led by the Ghost Spirit Sect often hunts these teams and extracts the monks' soul-refining magic tools.

In response, the seven sects could only send corresponding monks to rescue them. Over time, small groups of small groups formed. But even so, the teams sent out to patrol were often wiped out in their entirety.
