Chapter 117 The Dilemma of the Nine Flame Line of Defense
The next day, Ming Zhiyuan got up and went to his master's courtyard to say hello. He saw that even Nan Chunyi had an uncontrollable smile on his face. He knew that if he had made a fuss with the pretty white girl in the room last night, he might have ruined his life.
The city lord's mansion already knows.
Everyone's martial arts are of high quality, and they can clearly detect the slightest movement from a few miles away. What's more, in a city lord's palace, the handsome boy has a loud voice.
After Bai Niu came back last night, she felt wronged and wanted to lie next to him. He also spent a lot of effort and coaxed her, and finally agreed to find her mother for her, and then she calmed down.
At this moment, Ming Zhiyuan saw the smile on his master's face and recalled what happened last night. He suddenly felt ashamed and his face burned fiercely. My handsome boy, my handsome boy, if you continue to talk too much, don't blame me for destroying your relatives out of justice. He
I was muttering bitterly in my heart.
The two masters and apprentices were talking about the key points of alchemy in a step-by-step manner. A servant outside the courtyard announced that the city lord came to see him and had important matters to discuss. Nan Chunyi quickly asked people to come in. The city lord Yuan Yuan Fei Fei entered the hall very respectfully.
He bowed to Nan Chunyi and bowed deeply to Ming Zhiyuan. After saluting, he took out a letter and asked Nan Chunyi to read it.
Nan Chunyi opened the letter, read it for a long time, and then asked a few junior brothers and sisters to come in.
After reading the letter to them, he said to Ming Zhiyuan, "This is the letter from General Hai Qianmian, who was stationed at the Jiuyan Defense Line by Tianyang to assist King Qilin in defending the Jiuyan Defense Line, asking for help. It's not because the defense line is struggling.
It's just that too many defense line sergeants were injured and poisoned. Let's send alchemists to rescue the sergeants.
Even Hai Qianmian himself was injured. The demons are very insidious and the defense line cannot be broken, so they bribed the human traitors to poison the drinking water. This time, not only the humans, but also many monsters were poisoned, making things a bit tricky."
Nan Chunyi waited until all the junior brothers and sisters had read the letter, and said seriously: "This time, I will take Zhiyuan and Shuhong with me. You guys, go to Yuhuo Capital. The two martial saints from Wushen Mountain have already set off.
Come and respond."
"No, right now the Nine Flames defense line is still fighting against the demons. As a god of alchemy, the eldest brother cannot venture into dangerous places. I think it is better for me to lead people there. The eldest brother will sit in Gaoyue."
The person speaking on the side was Situ Qingyue, the fifth elder of Saint Lady Mountain. As soon as she finished speaking, the other two elders also nodded.
Third Elder Wan Tianpei also said, "Fifth Junior Sister has just brought Qinghai back. Qinghai has been away from Saintess Mountain for a few years and has not practiced his alchemy skills properly. You don't need to go. You can stay here to train Qinghai again."
The basics, trying to make up for all the teachings that I have missed in the past few years, it is better for me to lead people there."
Situ Qingyue heard this and wanted to fight again.
Nan Chun waved his hand to stop a few people from talking, and said, "Don't argue, all of you. The third junior brother is right. Qingyue, you can teach Qinghai more here. Zhiyuan has not been with me to practice for a few years. This
I took him there once. There were many injured people on the defensive line, so I could let him ponder and refine it. Zhiyuan's understanding is very good. I didn't teach him well in the past few years, and he has been promoted to the third level of alchemy master.
According to his cultivation speed, no matter how hard I give him guidance, if nothing goes wrong, Zhiyuan is the most promising among all the next generation disciples to be promoted to Alchemy God."
Ming Zhiyuan was listening to his master's words attentively, and suddenly he felt a little embarrassed when he heard his master speak so highly of him. He glanced over secretly, and saw that several of his masters and uncles were nodding in agreement, showing no signs of agreement.
Nan Chuyi was so proud of himself that he felt relieved.
Nan Junyi went on to say, "Bringing Zhiyuan this time is also for training. Due to his martial arts, he may have to be delayed in the third level. Taking him there is also hoping to enable him to study through practical examples.
Breaking away from the stagnation in the martial arts and entering the second level. With his understanding, breaking through the stagnation in the martial arts and entering the second level, it will not take more than ten years from the first level to become an alchemy god."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Ming Zhiyuan is not very old. He will not be twenty-four years old in a few years. If he becomes the Alchemy God in ten years, he will only be thirty-four years old. Even if he is three years old,
He became an Alchemist at the age of fourteen, making him the youngest Alchemist in the history of Tianyuan.
As the Grand Elder of Saintess Mountain, Nan Junyi is also the God of Alchemy. What he said must be based on the vision of his own Alchemy God, and there will definitely be no difference.
Ming Zhiyuan was also surprised. The master had put himself too high in this way. If he could not be successfully promoted to the second level of Alchemy Sage, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the master?
Thinking of this, he quickly stood up with his hands folded. Just as he was about to say a few humble words, Nan Junyi waved his hand again and asked him to sit down and said;
"You don't have to be humble. I am your master. I know what your understanding and talent are.
But you can't be complacent because of this. No matter how good your talent is or how good your understanding is, if you want to become an alchemy god, it all comes from countless times of alchemy making and painstaking practice.
Even if I am sure that you have the qualifications of an alchemist, if you are not willing to practice hard and study hard, then you only have the qualifications. On the contrary, you have wasted your qualifications."
Ming Zhiyuan hurriedly handed over his hand; "This disciple will definitely practice hard and practice alchemy skills, and he will definitely live up to Master's high expectations."
"Um."
Nan Junyi nodded with satisfaction, and then thought to the others: "This matter is settled, I will lead people to set off early tomorrow morning, and you will also go to the big city where Gaoyue is fighting to assist. The fifth junior sister and Qinghai will stay behind.
Here."
Wan Tianpei and others saw that they could not persuade Nan Chunyi. At this time, the leader was not around, and everyone, led by the senior brother, had no choice but to accept the offer.
Early the next morning, Master Nan Chunyi and his disciples rushed to Jiuyan's defense line with several outer disciples from Saintess Mountain. This time, Bai Niu had to go with her life or death. No matter how she tried to comfort her, it was useless. She was afraid that Ming Zhiyuan would be gone for more than ten years.
No one was seen. Nan Junyi did not hesitate and happened to take his second apprentice with him.
Just before setting off, Minami Chunyi called back the bell that had been patrolling outside the city. After not seeing each other for several years, the bell had grown up a bit, but he was submissive in front of Bai Niu, as if he was very afraid of Bai Niu.
Looking at this situation, Ming Zhiyuan knew that Bai Niu had always bullied this monster.
The master and disciples took the outer disciples with them and hurried on the road together. It didn't take a few days to reach the Nine Flames Defense Line.
At this time, the guard general of the Jiuyan Defense Line had been replaced by General Hai Qianmian of Tianyang. General Hai was overjoyed when he learned that Minami Junichi and his party had arrived at the defense line, and personally led the guards to the Flowing Fire City to greet them.
On the way back to the defense line, General Hai told Minami Junichi and his party about the situation of the Jiuyan defense line.
Now that the Tianyang army has taken over the Jiuyan defense line and is patrolling the defense line together with the Qilin King's monsters, the demons do not dare to attack aggressively.
But they always send out small groups of troops, looking for opportunities to attack everywhere. When they encounter large groups of troops patrolling, they run away. When they encounter small groups, they step forward to fight. Most of the demon sergeants are trained, and the leader of a small group can at least have a fifth-level strength.
.When the human race is equal in number, it is no match for the demons.
Although the Qilin King also brought high-grade magical beasts to protect the border, the number of magical beasts was limited and they had to take turns to rest. There were not many opportunities to patrol with the human sergeants.
Most of them are stationed at an easily breached stronghold. Even if a patrol team goes out with the monsters, the demons will avoid them when they see them.
The Jiuyan Sand Sea is the hometown of the devil. The devil knows the sand sea as well as his own home. The devil appears and disappears on the border. It is really difficult for humans and monsters to find their stronghold.
In addition, Flowing Fire City had been occupied by the wealthy family and King Ning for many years, and many humans had been turned into spies by the demons. The drinking wells in Flowing Fire City were repeatedly poisoned by human traitors, and there have been several poisoning incidents.
, even Hai Qianmian himself still has some residual poison.
The human traitors in the city are deeply hidden, and it is unknown how many human beings have become the demon's puppets. After arresting one group, another group appeared soon after, which is an inexhaustible momentum. There are hundreds of thousands of residents in Flowing Fire City.
, and it is impossible to control everything, we can only tighten dikes on weekdays.
When General Hai talked about the endless number of traitors in the city who could not be eradicated, he looked miserable and shook his head repeatedly.
