"Ah! Ningxue, you have already arranged it? How come I didn't know?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ningxue, who had originally had a calm expression, lost her composure. She stopped drawing the formation pattern again and looked at Yu Yue in disbelief.

"Master, yesterday in this room, I personally sent a message to the weapon factory in front of you, and now you say you don't know! Master, I think there is something wrong with this body, how about changing it?"

"No, no, I'm just kidding. I just felt a little bored after staying in this room for too long."

Seeing that Xiao Ningxue really wanted to take action, Yu Yue leaned back and waved his hand hastily to refuse. Seeing this, Xiao Ningxue sighed and dispersed the water sword in her hand.

"Forget it, let's go out for a walk and get some fresh air."

As she spoke, Xiao Ningxue put away the formation drawings and tools on the table, then walked towards the door first, and Yu Yue followed with a smile.

……

The next day, the sun was blazing brightly in the sky. In a military camp specially arranged for the Armored Corps around Xuantian City, nearly 10,000 soldiers had been lined up neatly in the square for an hour. They were not wearing spiritual armor and were covered in sweat under the scorching sun, but one could still tell from their faces that they were very nervous.

On the platform, Lin Ji looked at the soldiers in front of him, thinking about how to arrange these people. Behind him were the couple Lin Jun and Xiao Long. They had successfully found the Golden Dan Zhenren while driving the Qiming before, which was considered a meritorious service. So Lin Ji increased their monthly salary, arranged for them to manage the Armor Corps, and gave them a sinecure.

"I heard you guys have been very restless lately."

Lin Ji used his spiritual power to amplify his voice and these words made some soldiers even more nervous and their faces turned pale.

"Gathering to fight? Are you good at fighting and shooting? Do you still have time for such things?"

"Yu Wen, as the leader of the army, you failed to manage your subordinates properly. You are to blame. What punishment do you think you and those who gathered to fight should receive?"

Lin Ji's tone was calm, and he didn't seem angry, but the soldiers below didn't dare to think so. They were hoping for a lucky break, and they secretly glanced at Yu Wen in the front, wanting to see how he would answer.

"It is my fault. I am willing to resign as leader and be punished along with those who organized the fight. But I beg you to keep our positions as soldiers in the Armored Legion!"

Yu Wen knelt on one knee and answered Lin Ji's words loudly. The soldiers who were closer to him also agreed with what he said. Any punishment would be fine as long as they were not allowed to leave the Armored Corps. After experiencing this extraordinary power, it would be more painful to force them to retreat than to kill them.

Looking at the appearance of those soldiers, Lin Ji knew what they were thinking. No matter where the supernatural power is, its temptation is irresistible to most mortals.

"From now on, the offender and Yu Wen cannot use the spiritual armor for three months. I think you are too idle. After a year, those whose nerve reactions cannot keep up with the speed of the armor will be eliminated by the Armor Corps. The Corps does not need waste. The method of training nerve reactions has already been given to you. As for whether you have practiced seriously, I don't know."

"From now on, every seven days, Lin Jun and Xiao Long will test your strength. If you fail to meet the standard, your monthly salary will be reduced by half."

After saying that, Lin Ji took Lin Jun and Xiao Long away, leaving behind a group of soldiers with sad faces. Yu Wen also breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. As long as he could stay, there would be a chance.

……

In the Trial Tower, except for a few cultivators who were unable to enter due to some matters, all the other cultivators who obtained the jade pendants were here. Among them, except for a few Qi training cultivators who were valued by the elders, all of them were foundation-building cultivators.

"Daozi is so powerful. Up to the second stage of foundation building, he has been number one in all rankings without any defeat! I really want to see him in person."

A female cultivator at the foundation-building stage began to act infatuated with him, and her three companions around her nodded in agreement. One of them was Bai Yun from the Lengyue Sect. Since she was defeated by Lin Ji in one move last time, she had worked even harder in her cultivation. Although she wanted to fight Lin Ji again, she also knew that the gap in cultivation between her and him could not be made up.

Until yesterday, when her master Shao Yuhong came back from Xuantian City with great joy and gave her the jade pendant of the Trial Tower, Bai Yun entered the Trial Tower and understood various abilities. Then she challenged the clone of Lin Ji who was in the foundation-building stage of the realm of mind, but was still defeated. Knowing that she had no chance at the same realm, Bai Yun completely gave up the idea. In addition, the female cultivators of the Lengyue Sect were all living well now, so in just over a day, Bai Yun became a fan of Lin Ji.

"Look, someone else is challenging Daozi. Let's go check out the situation. The cost of a spirit stone is not expensive anyway."

Bai Yun looked in the direction her friend pointed and saw a virtual projection in the center of the Trial Tower, which displayed various rankings. She could clearly see that Daozi Lin Ji, who was at the top, had been challenged.

"Okay, since today's training is over, it's not bad to stay in the Trial Tower and watch others fight to gain experience."

After a few people entered another spiritual space, they came out immediately after a few seconds. The female cultivator who made the suggestion at the beginning apologized to her companions embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry for wasting a spirit stone on you. I didn't expect there would be someone who would be so ignorant as to challenge Daozi right away. It's already the second day!"

Bai Yun and the others certainly wouldn't blame her, and they walked around the Trial Tower jokingly. They were very interested in the decorations in the Trial Tower that were different from those in the outside world.

After the monk who challenged Lin Ji failed, he immediately left the Trial Tower. He stayed in his room with a gloomy look on his face. Finally, he took out a talisman and typed some words, then quickly left the city and secretly escaped to the edge of the eastern continent.

……

After Lin Ji left the Armored Corps base, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion to practice, hoping to comprehend the power of water: purification before going to the Sword Sect.

Looking at the poison in front of him that was enough to kill an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, and the bowl of colorless and tasteless Soul-Breaking Grass juice, Lin Ji put a finger into it. Even if he didn't drink it, just the touch of his finger caused a numb feeling to quickly spread throughout his body.

Lin Ji used Purification to begin dispelling the toxins from his body while feeling the various changes of the water power: Purification.

Within a few seconds, the toxins in the body quickly disappeared, and Lin Ji began to try to purify the soul-breaking grass juice in the bowl.

One minute…

three minutes…

Five minutes later, looking at the juice in the bowl which was no longer toxin-free, Lin Ji frowned. The speed was still a little slow. He was still far from the state that Zi Tong had first realized in the illusion that the power of water could be detoxified in seconds by purification.

"Before going to the Sword Sect, I should practice in seclusion in my free time these few days. I will seize the time to comprehend Water Power: Purification, and then concentrate on practicing Time and Space: Spatial Movement."

Thinking of this, Lin Ji took out the sect's jade token and sent a message to Xiao Ningxue and Luo Youran, saying that he would be in seclusion before going to the Sword Sect, and not to disturb them unless it was something important.
