Chapter 793: Gaining a foothold outside the circle
Murong Ji looked at the two people standing at the door with a grim face, but said nothing.
"Okay, you two go back." Cui Yuling directly drove Mumie and his wife away, and after Tushan Honghong entered the house, she closed the door.
Cui Yuling then said, "We came to you to ask for mercy. Don't kill Jin Linglin. He was also controlled by someone this time. He is very pitiful."
Murong Ji's brain worked quickly. Strictly speaking, Jin Linglin was from Tushan. Then he said calmly, "He has been released."
Cui Yuling raised her eyebrows, "Then we are really the villains. Thank you."
After seeing them off, Murong Ji let out a long breath, sat down at the desk again, and continued writing something.
This is the sword technique he compiled from the thirty or so people inside the sword tomb. After deducing it, he was able to perfectly practice the sword intent. It has good potential and can be kept as the foundation of Qingyun Mountain and the Chen family.
Half a month later, the incident in Huangfeng City was completely settled. After Murong Ji returned to Qingyun Mountain with the Taoist Alliance army, he stayed indoors and did not go out.
Concentrate on practicing.
After this battle, Dongfang Yuechu and Wang Quan Fugui became famous in the Taoist Alliance, and many young people in the Taoist Alliance also gained a lot of fame.
“A new generation of human genius has emerged.” Murong Ji stood in front of the Fantasy Moon Cave and let out a long breath.
The masked group 20 years ago seemed like yesterday. The ten Taoist geniuses went out of the circle and opened the door to recognition within the circle.
A year later, Xiao Wanqing died of illness, and Murong Ji went to the Xiao Mansion to pay his respects.
From then on, I had no further connection with the Xiao family. If I had to establish a relationship with them, Xiao Ning was my only brother.
Time flies, and in a flash, another two years have passed.
Murong Ji sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly ended his practice, and exhaled a breath.
Just as he was about to stand up, his whole body suddenly shook. He looked up at the sky in astonishment, and through the endless layers of soil, he saw the white clouds outside.
He slowly withdrew his gaze. The power of heaven and earth... was in turmoil for a moment, as if resisting something.
Standing up, Murong Ji slowly walked out of the cave, with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of Tushan.
Tushan Honghong...has returned to the realm of the Great Demon King.
Not only that, it has gone one step further than the original realm.
It is hard to say who is stronger between Tushan Honghong and Beishan Demon Emperor Shi Kuan nowadays.
Murong Ji calculated the time and thought that in a few years, Tushan Honghong should reach the level of Liu'er Mihou.
Now that I am on the same level as myself, I have the confidence to fight against myself.
Of course, this is just his estimate. The specific result will depend on the progress of Tushan Honghong's cultivation.
After overcoming the knot in her heart and getting rid of the shackles, this was like a divine help to the Tushan fox demon, who had been cultivating her main power of emotion.
These had nothing to do with Murong Ji. He put his hands behind his back, looked at the entire Qingyun Mountain, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
Today's Qingyun Mountain has already acquired some strength. It cannot be compared with those top-notch families and can be considered as a middle-level force in the Taoist Alliance.
"It's time to act..." Murong Ji muttered to himself.
Half a month later.
Murong Ji led most of the Chen family members and Qingyun disciples to the human border.
It is far more practical for Qingyun Mountain and the Chen family to gain a foothold outside the circle and obtain the vast resources than to fight against the humans and monsters within the circle.
There are plenty of resources outside the circle, and the quality is extremely good. Even if it is a waste, it can be turned into something big by using resources.
The movement of a large army is extremely complicated, with all kinds of things happening all the time.
Murong Ji did not interfere. Everything was under the responsibility of someone else, Wang Quanzui, so nothing could go wrong.
As soon as Murong Ji made a move, all forces instantly learned the news, and almost all eyes fell on this team, wanting to see what they were going to do.
A month and a half later.
Just then I could see the border line of the human race.
Murong Ji stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the human border in front of him and the city wall that stretched across the plain, and slowly exhaled a breath.
"arrive……"
Wang Quanzui rode forward on his sword, wearing a sand-proof hat on his head, looking ahead, silent.
This is the first line of defense outside the garrison circle. It is guarded by human masters all year round. In the past, it was the Tianmen lineage that guarded this place.
Now, the old man Tianmen is dead. Over the years, the top leaders of the Taoist Alliance have been unwilling to come here to change guard. Anyone who is sent here is more likely to be... exiled.
As a result, for several years, there was no top expert from the Dao League here. There was no other way, those people... No one wanted to come here to eat sand. Murong Ji exhaled a breath of foul air, waved his hand, and the Qingyun disciples and Chen family members behind him flew their swords to the defenses on the border and took over the defenses on the border.
"Are we really going to fight outside the circle?" Wang Quanzui asked in a low voice. His heart was full of worry, a feeling that he couldn't explain, as if he was going to experience the tragic scene outside the circle again.
I can’t describe the melancholy and confusion, the fear and worry. Before, it was my friends who died outside the circle... Now it seems like it’s my family...
Murong Ji turned his head and glanced at Wang Quanzui, sighed softly, reached out and held her hand, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
After Huang Shiren arranged everything, he moved directly into the city wall on the border and arranged a series of things, including changing shifts, deploying defenses, patrolling and other trivial matters.
Coming back to his senses, Murong Ji landed on the city wall, stood in front of the wall and looked outside the circle. Behind the abyss, thick fog was still sweeping.
I had already cleaned it up when I was at the human border last time. Those creatures outside the circle were not too strong opponents. As long as you cultivate your mind and character well, it would be almost no big deal.
Murong Ji had a lot of things to do, and he needed to build a protection system. Here, Murong Ji placed a furnace.
This furnace is specially used to smelt those creatures outside the circle. The principle is similar to that of the health-preserving coffin, except that this furnace is larger.
After the mist was drawn in, Murong Ji introduced it into the furnace. The Samadhi True Fire melted all the creatures outside the circle and turned them into the purest breath of heaven and earth.
The breath of heaven and earth was then channeled into another furnace. This furnace had no flame, but was a magic weapon used to condense the breath of heaven and earth.
In a short while, the aura of heaven and earth crystallized. Murong Ji opened the lid of the furnace and took out the white and black crystals the size of a fingernail.
He replaced the furnace lid and took the two crystals in his hands to examine them carefully.
This kind of thing is not the first time Murong Ji has seen it. It is the crystallization of pure spiritual energy and evil spirit. If used well, it can be a top-notch resource for cultivation.
The Taoist Alliance and the Demon Alliance are both rare good things.
Then, Murong Ji casually threw it into the two bowls containing crystal stones beside him.
"You guys will take over. After a month, switch with your senior brother. Remember, you can't leave your guard day or night. There must be at least three people on duty at any time."
"Yes, master!"
Murong Ji nodded and looked at the eight disciples in front of him. They were all wearing blue and white Taoist robes with the Qingyun Sect's flowing cloud and seal patterns on them.
This is the attire of the elite disciples of Qingyun Mountain.
"You can pick out the good ones from those spirit stones for your own cultivation. I've given you the benefits, so don't be greedy... Send the rest to the warehouse and register them daily."
Several disciples' eyes lit up and they all bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."
Murong Ji waved his hand, walked out of the house, came to the city wall, looked at the fog outside the circle, and wondered what he was thinking.
The power of heaven and earth is complex. In addition to spiritual energy and evil energy, there are other auras. What's more, when the earth veins are pulled out outside the circle.
The power of heaven and earth will be transmitted back along with the mist. So how to deal with the remaining power of heaven and earth?
Murong Ji looked down at his feet. He remembered that this city wall had been refined into a magic weapon by the successive leaders of the Tianmen lineage, right? ! ! Then, an idea came to his mind.
After living on the border for half a month and sorting out things, he led his men to break out of the circle and began to expand outward little by little, using formations to isolate the fog and magic weapons to absorb the fog.
Through special means, the mist was transmitted back into the furnace within the human border.
The resources produced are sent back into the circle, made into finished products by alchemists and weapon refiners, and then distributed based on merit, in a reciprocating cycle.
After things were back on track, when Murong Ji returned to the city wall again, he saw Wang Quanzui. At this time, she was still wearing a sand-covering hat and standing there quietly, waiting for his return.
Murong Ji hung a health-preserving coffin around his waist. He flew forward slowly on his sword and came to the outside of the city wall in front of Wang Quanzui. He stood in the void and sighed softly.
He could understand Wang Quanzui's heart knot and her fear of the outside world, but things had to be done. Wang Quanzui was a little scared of the outside world, and the life here was no longer suitable for her.
After entering the city wall, Murong Ji looked at Wang Quanzui who was coming towards him and hugged her gently to comfort her.
After living on the city wall for a while, Murong Ji began to think about how to refine the entire human border into a magic weapon.
Although the Tianmen Curse of Tianmen Taoist is powerful, it has too many limitations. Murong Ji thought carefully in his mind how to activate the entire human border so that he can continuously expand the border line as the human race expands outward.
Let this magic weapon advance at the speed of human advancement.
After pondering for several months, Murong Ji finally came up with a specific idea.
This thing cannot be stuffed into the gas furnace, so it can only be refined bit by bit by relying on the flame of the instrument furnace, and the flame of the Tianji Seal is used to gradually refine the city wall successfully.
Murong Ji did what he said and spent half a year on this. It was not easy to fight with the city wall. A large number of array patterns needed to be carved, which was not a task that could be completed by one person.
Fortunately, many weapon refiners have been trained over the years, and they can complete the task together, so the speed is not slow.
Standing in front of the city wall, looking at the long wall that was being renovated, he slowly exhaled. Every brick and soil, wood and tile had to be refined into a magic weapon, with exquisite sizes and formations, etc.
