This group of magicians, also known as warlocks, can be regarded as a mutated branch of immortal cultivators.

Although they are also people who practice Qi breathing and practice to change their fate, the magician does not attach much importance to the external objects of cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts. Instead, he attaches great importance to the study and mastery of magic techniques.

In addition, the grassland nomads themselves have the habit of priests to their ancestors, so these magicians will more or less master some of the secret techniques of witchcraft and sacrificial refining.

Compared with orthodox immortal cultivators, although the growth and diversity of magicians are a bit weaker, their control over spells is far superior to that of monks of the same level.

In addition, he is proficient in witchcraft and has all kinds of strange methods, which makes people very annoying.

Of course, the reason why the Southern Territory Royal Court lost several cities due to the invasion of the Qiang Bone Clan was because the timing was coincidental, and the Southern Territory feudal king happened to die.

After all, the Southern Territory Royal Palace has very tight control over the army. The current leaderless situation naturally shakes the morale of the Southern Territory defenders.

No new candidate for the vassal king has been determined, and it is estimated that only the people from the Southern Territory Martial Alliance are fighting on the front line.

As for the great sects of cultivating immortals like the Shuangji Sect, they don't pay much attention to mundane things.

As long as the foundation of the sect's survival is not shaken, even if the Qian dynasty changes and a new person comes to rule, these practicing sects will not participate in such secular battles.

…

Chen Fan wandered around Nansha City and discovered that in order to fight against the invasion of the Qiang Bone Clan, the people in the Southern Territory Martial Alliance had opened up new avenues and announced that they were recruiting casual cultivators to join.

The summons notices were posted all over the Southern Region, even this remote Nansha City was no exception.

Some ordinary warriors who lived in the desert were greatly moved after seeing the notice from the Southern Territory Martial Alliance. Many people stepped forward to remove the notice and shouted at the Hidden Peak Valley mentioned in the notice. Lead your companions away.

There are many rangers in Nansha City, as well as several major secular sects. They are attracted by the profound physical training techniques in the Martial Alliance, plus the promise of senior officials becoming nobles, which naturally attracts many people with lofty ideals to join.

After looking around, Chen Fan felt that this was a rare opportunity to sneak into the Martial Alliance, so he blended in with the crowd and headed towards the Hidden Peak Valley.

As for the Shuangji Sect, Chen Fan is not in a hurry to go back.

…

Thirty miles outside Nansha City, in a long and narrow valley called Zangfeng Valley.

This is the garrison place outside Nansha City. A large army of ten thousand people is stationed here all year round to prevent unrest in southern Xinjiang.

Because the Wu League has issued a recruitment notice for foreign expeditions, there are many people in the Zangfeng Valley today.

Many private body-training practitioners gathered in a school grounds, and there were also some ordinary warriors from major Jianghu sects among them, at least around a thousand.

"quiet!"

"No noise is allowed in the place of military formation!"

A middle-aged general wearing black armor and a sword at his waist walked to the school stage and shouted loudly.

Next to him, there is a tall man wearing a short-swinging shirt. Judging from the two pole logos on their bodies, they should be mid-level physical trainers from the Martial Alliance.

The appearance of these three people actually made the school grounds quiet.

Seeing that it was almost time, one of the tall men explained the purpose of the notice: "This time the Wu Meng is recruiting people to fight against the invasion of the Qiang bone tribe in the grassland."

"If you pass the test, you can join the newly established external team of the Martial Alliance."

"As long as you have achieved military exploits, the alliance will give you secret body-refining techniques, exercises, and elixirs without hesitation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, eight physical trainers were seen entering the school grounds carrying a huge blood-red stone tablet on their shoulders.

As soon as the stone tablet fell to the ground, smoke and dust billowed out all around the ground, and the ground shook. It was obviously extremely heavy.

"This monument is called the Qi and Blood Strength Testing Monument. It is the latest instrument developed by our Daqian Research Institute to test the strength of warriors and body refiners."

"Just by stimulating the body's energy and blood by facing this monument, the strength of the physical body can be measured."

"Those with more than one hundred qi and blood can join the external team and become a soldier, and will be given a bottle of blood refining pill."

"If your Qi and blood exceed 200, you can become a general and command a hundred soldiers. You will be given a body refining pill."

"Those with Qi and blood below 100 can join the army on their own."

The person who introduced him was another tall man. While talking about the benefits of joining the Martial Alliance, the man flew a hundred meters through the air and landed lightly next to the blood-colored stone tablet.

"What a wonderful Qinggong!"

"Moving the void a hundred meters, he is worthy of being an intermediate body refiner from the Martial Alliance!"

"Blood Refining Pill and Body Refining Pill?"

"These two elixirs are said to be the body-refining holy elixirs that are kept secret in the Martial Alliance!"

"I didn't expect that the rewards for this recruitment would be so generous!" Everyone in the school was talking about it, and thousands of eyes fell on the tall man.

They saw the other party drink softly, Qi and blood surged from his body, and a wolf smoke aura rose above his head. He slapped the Qi and Blood tablet, and everyone saw the value 215 appear on the stone tablet. above.

"More than two hundred! General!"

"Are only mid-level body refiners capable of being at the level of a warrior?"

"Sure enough, those rewards are not so easy to get!"

After seeing this tall man test it out, many warriors with low cultivation levels began to give up.

Of course, there are also some who are confident in their own strength and are starting to take action.

"Let me try this Qi and Blood Monument!"

As soon as the words came out, an old man with half-white hair and coarse clothes jumped up to the Qi and Blood Stone Tablet.

"It's him!"

"Old Iron Sand Fist Zhao!"

"Isn't this old man wandering around southern Xinjiang all the year round? Why are you thinking of joining the martial arts alliance this time?" Some onlookers of martial arts recognized this old man's origins and whispered among themselves.

But the broken-haired old man's chest bulged at this moment, and he also exuded an overwhelming energy and blood smoke. He raised his fist and hit the stone tablet.

Two hundred and thirty-six!

A value that exceeded that of the Martial Alliance general caught everyone's attention.

There was a roar of applause from all around, and even the garrison general and another martial alliance general on the stage looked surprised.

"It is a blessing for the people of the Southern Territory that the old man is willing to join our martial alliance!"

"Senior, please go to the meeting hall for a while, and we will discuss the follow-up matters after the test is completed." The tall man in charge of the Qi and Blood Stone Tablet cupped his hands, with a hint of excitement in his words.

The people in the martial alliance are not optimistic about this recruitment near Nansha City.

After all, this place is too remote, has few martial arts training resources, and is close to southern Xinjiang. It would be good to recruit a group of soldiers with over 100 HP.

Unexpectedly, the old man who took the first test showed his level as a warrior, which made the two Martial Alliance warrior generals in charge of recruitment overjoyed.

…

Since Mr. Zhao of Iron Sand Boxing set a high standard at the beginning, the subsequent tests were somewhat unsatisfactory.

After testing more than 800 people in a row, only more than 30 soldiers with more than 100 health were selected.

The remaining warriors who were eliminated either went to the garrison headquarters and planned to try their luck in the army, or they left in groups and planned to return to Nansha City to find their own way out.

Chen Fan, who was mixed in the crowd, naturally saw this recruitment test of the martial alliance.

The selected soldiers with over 100 qi and blood are all at the level of low-level body refiners. If they were placed among monks, they would be able to compete with qi masters!

From this we can also see how terrifying it is to build a country by force!

The number of people practicing martial arts among ordinary people is large and the base is high, far exceeding those monks with spiritual roots.

No wonder even the big sects of cultivating immortals like the Demon Sect don't dare to fart loudly in front of Daqian Dynasty, so they can only hide in the southern Xinjiang in despair, languishing in the resource-poor ice fields and deserts for thousands of years with their tail between their legs.
