Chapter 228: Seven Cities Surrounding the Village 7
Stone City Wall.
The second day of entering the Seven Cities Fortress.
A burst of light flashed, and every cultivator in the Stone City was covered with a layer of light as if a talisman had been added to their bodies. With this layer of light on their bodies, they felt as if they were assisted by God, and felt that their strength had increased by at least 10%.
"I didn't expect that the first person to be given the armor would be you."
The voice of a big man nearby was heard, and he looked at the light on his body with disgust, seeming very dissatisfied.
"Is there anything else to this thing?"
Wang Qiye looked at the light armor that suddenly appeared on his body, turned his wrist, and felt a full force surrounding him. This force is very strong, very strong! He is close to the great perfection of foundation building. Now he can call on this huge power at any time without any side effects.
"Is this the buff of Stone City Village? Isn't it a bit too strong?" The more familiar Wang Qiye was with this power, the more his heart trembled. This cultivation civilization was too magical. It actually allowed him to feel the power of the ninth level of foundation building in advance.
"This is the strongest buff in Shichengzhai. It only blesses one person a day. Only the person with the strongest fighting spirit is worthy of it."
The big man next to him said with envy, this is the most words he has said in such a long time.
Wang Qiye then discovered that the buff on the people around him was different from his own. It was only a shallow layer, unlike the one on him, which was angular, as if he was really wearing a piece of armor.
"Oh, can you tell me more specifically?"
Wang Qiye was still getting familiar with this strange and powerful force, and was extremely delighted for a moment. With such powerful assistance, he would be able to compete with those masters who had reached the ninth level of foundation building.
But the big man curled his lips, turned away and ignored him.
"This is the comprehensive advanced version of the second-level defense talisman "Heavenly Spirit Armor", the "Godly Spirit Armor"."
A voice came from behind, slowly speaking.
Wang Qiye turned around and found that it was an old man who was about to die. No wonder he dared to come and die. Even if he got out, he would probably only live for another ten years.
"The old Taoist priest still wants to ask me for advice."
"I don't deserve it." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile. "This divine armor can give you an extra level of strength of the ninth level of foundation building, unlike ours, which can only add 10%. But your buff has reached its limit, while our buff will increase by 10% every day."
Wang Qiye nodded. He knew all of this.
"After your buff uses up its energy, you will need to replenish it yourself, just like replenishing your body's energy. But it needs to be out of combat before it can recharge itself. It will take about 6 hours for the energy to be fully restored."
"Can it be recovered?"
Wang Qiye exclaimed and inadvertently glanced at the big man next to him. If this guy got the "divine armor", wouldn't that mean he would have the strength of two ninth levels of foundation building?
"Hiss." Wang Qiye took a breath and dared not think about it anymore.
"That's natural, young man. I am already buried in the earth, so it doesn't matter to me. You still have a lot of time left. You should know that those who love war will perish."
The old man stroked his gray beard again, feeling a little emotional.
"I, the young generation, naturally know what the old Taoist priest said, but ever since I set foot on this land, there has always been a distant voice calling me. I don't know why, but I always feel that that day is coming soon."
Wang Qiye's eyes became more and more determined. Although he was intoxicated by the gentle land, the fusion of souls was ultimately like a dream. Now that the dream was over, it was time to face reality.
"That is the war song that resounds from this land!"
The old man looked at the young man again with some surprise. Did even this land choose him? That was a story that only existed in legends. I didn't expect that I would encounter it today. Yes, this land has not won for more than 3 years. Every fallen soul has placed his hope on the newcomer. But this young man is only at the fifth level of foundation building. Can he really bear the weight of unwillingness?
The other five people also turned their eyes over. Even the eagle beast, which had always had an indifferent look, looked curious. He looked at the short-haired creature again, but still couldn't figure out what it was.
"Maybe it's an illusion." The muscular man turned his head and stopped looking at him, his eyes becoming more and more determined. "If anyone heard it, it should be me who heard it. I am the Saint Bai of Jiutian Xuanyu Sect, one of the ten outstanding foundation builders. Even if he heard it, it should be me who heard it. Yes, he must be hallucinating."
"Young man, then you should be prepared to face the weight of this land!"
Behind Wang Qiye, a sturdy middle-aged man said with a big grin.
Wang Qiye nodded at him and turned around. Now he was in a very calm state of mind. But a man from Qicheng came over, glanced at the group of people with a sarcastic look, and passed by them. Wang Qiye didn't even look at him, still sitting cross-legged in meditation, as steady as an old dog.
Troops from the seven cities have begun to appear in the corridor. If you connect to the mechanism ball, you will find that there are more and more densely packed colorful dots, but only a few white dots belonging to your side.
Those who were quick on their feet would comment on these six people from time to time, make some comments, and then laugh at them before walking past them.
The corridor is as wide as three carriages. If three people sit side by side, they actually only take up the space of one carriage, so it is still very spacious.
Not many people from Shichengzhai came back on the road, but from time to time there were meteors shooting straight into the sky from the ground. Needless to say, those must be monks from Shichengzhai who went out to collect herbs, encountered enemies, and activated the mechanical ball to return and escape. Even if they came back, everyone was injured, after all, in the wild, there was no buff bonus.
The open space in front of the gate of Shichengzhai is now filled with tables and chairs, and some people even moved out recliners. It is really lively.
"Chen Fuyuan, what do you say?"
A young man calculated the time, stood up from his recliner, and shouted proudly towards the city gate tower with his head raised.
The others sat there calmly, looking at the people on the city gate tower with disdain. It was really a matter of time, they deserved their bad luck.
"Brother Wei, Lingxi Valley will naturally not be the first to take action. We admit defeat this time. We will go to the April River for a drink some other day, but you have to be the host."
Chen Fuyuan smiled and saluted.
"Of course, Miss Yue has been thinking about you ever since we last met."
Wei Yangjing smiled knowingly and happily unfolded the paper fan.
The people drinking tea at the table seemed to have expected this result. After all, those present were not unknown people. But everyone wanted to give the three families on the tower a try. Now that they finally got the chance, how could they let it go? Only Bai Yulou, the second-generation rich man, could not sit still and jumped out.
"What do your two families say?" Wei Yangjing was very proud and gently waved the paper fan in his hand.
"The Feiyun Sect will not try to stop a chariot with its bare hands." Zhou Yuxiang responded calmly. If the woman in black clothes and black skirt beside him were to say this, she might not be able to say it out loud.
"Skylark Tower is also willing to admit defeat."
Bai Xingchen held the paper fan in his hand and saluted with his fists towards the city gate, which was a very humble gesture.
"Hahaha, Bai Xingchen, you have come to this day. I thought you had never lost before."
Wei Yangjing laughed triumphantly, no longer able to conceal the suppressed joy in his heart.
Bai Xingchen, who is half a step ahead of the heaven, is only at the foundation-building stage and has little ability, but he is very famous. In addition to his unparalleled attainments in Go, which has killed people all over the region, he is also the latest business reliance of Yunque Tower in the past hundred years, because he has completely revitalized the half-dead business in the region. Now Yunque Tower's business in Tianwu Region has grown from 5% to 25%. It has only been a short period of thirty years, and it has achieved what others can only achieve in a hundred years. And the proportion is still increasing every year, which is really terrifying. You have to know that a market has long been saturated, and it is basically difficult for you to get involved, but Bai Xingchen did it, which can only be called a miracle.
Originally, the top management of Skylark Tower intended to let him take over another area, but someone rejected it, thinking that his cultivation was too low. If he had too much power, he might be killed by assassins sent by competitors in the aftermath of a battle. The gain would not be worth the loss, so they gave up the plan. Perhaps the only thing that people criticized about Bai Xingchen was his cultivation, but he was busy with business and had to read a lot of account books every day. This was because the people below helped him share some of the burden and only handed him important account books or summarized account books. Otherwise, he would not be able to finish reading them even if he spent a whole day.
But Bai Xingchen is still very young. Compared to the life span of a foundation-building cultivator of 200 years, he is only 50 years old, which is relatively young. Moreover, he can no longer be described as rich enough to rival a country, but more appropriately described as rich enough to rival a region.
Before the age of 20, Bai Xingchen was still an unknown person with little reputation. Being cowardly by nature, he suffered all kinds of bullying. It is said that when he visited brothels, he was played by the courtesan, which shows his usual status.
After being rejected, his life was like a cheat, like a completely different person. Yes, although such a person was not valued by the side branch, they still arranged a family marriage for him. The other party was a family that had fallen on hard times, but even with such a family, he was still rejected. The reason was that he was used to being cowardly in love, so after getting married, he didn't even dare to touch the bride's hand. After a year of marriage, the bride was still a virgin. In the end, he couldn't bear to see the bride widowed, so he divorced him. I remember that night, he drank a lot of wine, so he was so depressed that he jumped into the well. Fortunately, he was rescued by the servants. The servants who heard the noise were scared. Although he was not valued and even the servants dared to bully him, he still occupied a place in the side branch. If he died, the servants would have to be buried with him.
