In Ding'an City, there was a big battle, with hundreds of corpses lying three miles outside the city.
The city gate was wide open, and under the guard of many soldiers, Lu Ye returned on horseback. Countless soldiers on the city wall who had witnessed the battle just now worshiped and worshiped him. On both sides of the passage in the city, many people welcomed the hero's triumphant return.
They all obviously also knew the news that the Black Turban Vanguard was defeated.
In such a world with extreme levels of cultivation, Lu Ye's performance just now is really shocking. He single-handedly charged into a thousand-man army, killed hundreds of enemies with his own strength, and beheaded the enemy generals. This kind of thing is just a story.
Heard it from people's mouths.
But today it happened right under my nose.
Lu Ye returned to the small courtyard of the Zhou family and immediately began to practice hard without stopping.
Pieces of inferior spiritual stones were turned into useless waste stones by the talent tree, and his own cultivation level slowly and steadily improved.
One day later, the ninth spiritual aperture opened, and Lu Ye took a long breath.
Although there is only one cultivation level difference between the Eight Apertures and the Nine Apertures, it is a qualitative change, because opening the Nine Apertures means that you have truly entered the path of cultivation. In fact, until this time, the cultivation talents are qualified
Calls himself a monk.
Spiritual power flows in series in each spiritual orifice, performing the merits of the Little Zhoutian, endlessly and endlessly.
Lingxi first level! In this way, both one's own strength and endurance can be greatly improved.
This experience made Lu Ye feel amazing. He never thought that he would be able to walk the same path again, but compared to the past, this path is much faster now.
If Lu Ye had a first-level cultivation level when he faced off against the Black Turban Vanguard Army, he would have been confident that he could eat the entire Vanguard Army by himself, as long as they didn't run away.
"Yao Nuan." Lu Ye called softly.
"Sir." Yao Nuan immediately walked in from the outside, her eyes full of reverence. She had seen the scene of Lu Ye showing off his power on the city wall before. For a girl of her age, such a scene was too special.
It's impactful.
"Is Zhou Ping here?" Lu Ye asked.
When he came back earlier, Zhou Ping was leading people to clean up the battlefield. After all, so many people died, and it was just outside Ding'an City. If he didn't leave it alone, there might be a plague or something like that. However, Lu Ye had told him that after the matter was settled,
Come find yourself.
"The city lord has been waiting outside." Yao Nuan replied. Lu Ye was practicing when Zhou Ping came, and he did not dare to disturb him when he learned of the situation.
"Invite him in."
"yes!"
After a while, Zhou Ping strode in. Compared with the worry in the previous few days, Zhou Ping was undoubtedly more energetic at this moment. When he saw Lu Ye, he immediately cupped his fists and saluted: "I have met you, sir."
Lu Ye nodded.
Zhou Ping said excitedly: "In the previous battle, sir, you showed great power, but we all admire Mr. Ding'an so much. We are really lucky to have him in our city, so we don't have to worry about it in the future."
He actually couldn't understand why Lu Ye Xiu was so invincible on the battlefield even though he only had one more skill than him.
When the situation changed for him, he was afraid that the enemy would cover him with a hail of arrows and he would be seriously injured if not dead.
But this is not important. Now he is the lord of Ding'an City. With Lu Ye's help, he is confident to defend the city and protect the peace of the people here. He even thought about whether to let Lu Ye be the lord of the city. He has not done so before. Mainly
It's because Lu Ye is an outsider and not suitable, but after experiencing the previous battle, Lu Ye undoubtedly already has this foundation among the people.
Nowadays, in Ding'an, who doesn't know Mr. Lu Yelu's chivalrous reputation?
With this thought in mind, before he could mention it, Lu Ye asked: "Tell me about the specific situation of the black scarf."
Zhou Ping's face turned solemn, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "The Black Turban started out as bandits. After its reputation spread, many bandits came to join them, nicknamed Thirty Thousand. But according to the information we got, the real strength should be about
About ten thousand people..."
He talked and Lu Ye listened quietly.
After he finished speaking, Lu Ye said: "In other words, although we defeated their vanguard army, it is actually harmless compared to the size of the black scarf."
Zhou Ping admitted reluctantly: "It is true. With an army of ten thousand people, hundreds of casualties can really be ignored." Changing the topic, Zhou Ping said: "But sir, don't worry too much. The Black Turban is currently attacking another city, and the main target is not
Not here in Ding'an. The original team actually came to my Ding'an to raise food. It was only because of the loss of that team that Fang Kuang's vanguard army was attracted. Now Fang Kuang died in the battle and the vanguard army was crippled. Black Turban
I'm afraid there won't be much action over there for the time being, as their troops are not strong enough to divide their forces into two places."
Lu Ye pondered in silence. If this was not his training scene, then Zhou Ping's judgment was not unreasonable. But this was his own training scene, so Lu Ye felt that the black scarf side would definitely not give up.
Nor would he trust his future peace to his enemies.
"Let's go, take me to the warehouse to take a look." Lu Ye stood up.
Zhou Ping did not hesitate and immediately led the way.
After a while, Lu Ye checked back and forth in the huge warehouse. It was one of the most important places in Ding'an. It was heavily guarded. It contained supplies that could last for several months for the people of the city, and there were also some things used for cultivation.
things.
Zhou Ping didn't know what Lu Ye was looking for, but now that the safety of Ding'an depended on Lu Ye alone, he could naturally choose what he wanted in the warehouse.
After a while, Lu Ye stood in front of a pile of dark stones, picked up a fist-sized stone, stirred it with his spiritual power, and raised his brows.
Zhou Ping observed his words and immediately stepped forward to explain to him: "Sir, this is black bluestone. After smelting, it can be used to forge spiritual weapons."
Not all minerals are suitable for making weapons used by monks. This involves conductivity. Monks fight with enemies to activate spiritual power. The easier it is for the materials used to create spiritual weapons to conduct spiritual power, the more valuable they are. Some materials cannot be conducted.
What is made from spiritual materials is just an ordinary weapon.
Just like Lu Ye's previous thick spear, it was just an ordinary spear, but because it was not light, it could exert powerful destructive power in Lu Ye's hands.
This black bluestone can be used to create spiritual weapons, but in Lu Ye's opinion, the spiritual weapons created from this material are only the lowest level, because the quality of the mineral itself is very low.
But in a world like this, it is already rare to have such a thing.
"Besides the warehouse, is there any other place with black bluestone in this city?" Lu Ye asked.
Zhou Ping thought for a while and said: "The Zhou family has some, and the other two of the three families should also have some in storage. If you want to use it, sir, I can collect it."
"Get them all, and then find someone to smelt them."
"What do you want to build, sir?" Zhou Ping asked.
"You'll know when the time comes." Lu Ye didn't explain much.
After a while, he returned to his small courtyard and continued to practice.
Zhou Ping was undoubtedly very efficient and only reported again two days later that all the black bluestone in the city had been collected and smelted.
In the east of the city, there is a steaming place where Zhou Ping and the heads of the other two major families are waiting. This is the forging workshop belonging to the three major families. Almost all the weapons in the entire city come from here.
Lu Ye came slowly, and Zhou Ping and others quickly saluted with respect.
"Are they all here?" Lu Ye saw the things piled up at a glance. The things were black, square, one inch thick, five inches long and five inches wide, and weighed about twenty yuan.
"It's all here." Zhou Ping replied, black bluestone is expensive, and these are all the reserves of the entire city.
Lu Ye picked up a piece and weighed it. He found that the weight was not light, so he poured his spiritual power into it, and nodded slightly: "It's just so-so."
The quality of this thing is so low that no one would even take a look at it in Kyushu. But in a world like this, we can only make do with it.
"Find a blacksmith to come over." Lu Ye ordered again.
Soon, a big and round blacksmith stood in front of Lu Ye. He had a fierce look on his face, but his attitude was respectful: "What kind of spiritual weapon does Mr. Lu want to build?"
Zhou Ping introduced from the side: "This is the chief forger of our three families, and his craftsmanship is absolutely perfect."
Lu Ye nodded, looked at him and said, "Help me start."
What he wanted to forge was not something that the blacksmiths of this world could forge.
The previous battle with the Black Turban Vanguard Army made Lu Ye realize one thing, that is, in such a world, the role that monks can play has been greatly weakened. Even he could not bring an army to that point.
Even if he tried his best to kill the thousands of vanguard troops, he would only be able to kill four to five hundred at most.
Because the level of monks is too low, the difference in physical fitness between monks and ordinary people is not that big.
It is so difficult to deal with a black turban vanguard army. If the black turban army attacks in full force, Ding'an will most likely not be able to be saved.
So you can’t rely on him alone!
But other monks' personal strength is even weaker. Even if they are gathered together, they will not be able to exert much effect. Therefore, they can only use external forces to bring these forces together.
The Tongqi Lianzhi Formation Disk is undoubtedly the best and only choice!
Lu Ye has refined this formation plate numerous times and is already familiar with it. The only troublesome part is that the same-qi branch spirit pattern is extremely complicated.
This is why Lu Ye had to upgrade his cultivation to the first level of Lingxi before taking action, because the cultivation of the Eight Apertures was simply not enough.
Even now, Lu Ye is not sure whether Lingxi can reach the first level.
"Bring the things here!" Lu Ye ordered again.
Zhou Ping signaled, and when a sergeant lifted up a large box and placed it at Lu Ye's feet, he opened the box and found that it was full of inferior spiritual stones.
Lu Ye stepped on these spiritual stones, ready to replenish his spiritual power at any time, and then rolled up his sleeves: "Let's get started!"
After a while, there was a clanging sound in the forging workshop. The chief blacksmith was sweating profusely and soon forged a piece of black bluestone into the shape of a disk.
