Chapter 284 The Thirty-Six Kings of Yunzhou, the Green Army Is Calling! (Two in One)

Travel all the way back to the fifth city area.

In the days after Su Qingqing left, he and Song Pingan were still staying at this inn.

It's not that I can't afford to stay in inns in other urban areas, it's just that there's no need to spend such wasted money. After all, inns are all the same.

Return to the room.

Song Changming opened the iron box he carried with him.

The box has been wrapped in his innate Qi, so that the spiritual energy generated by the mountain ginseng essence inside cannot escape and be unnoticed by others.

He opened the iron box, and the mountain ginseng spirit lay quietly in the box, motionless, as if falling into a deep sleep.

It wasn't until Song Changming touched it that it suddenly woke up, its thin whiskers swaying wildly.

After seeing that it was Song Changming who opened the iron box, he felt as if he had just woken up from a dream and felt relieved.

Song Changming couldn't help but wrap the spirit-locking talisman he bought directly around the main body of the ginseng essence. It looked like the ginseng essence was wrapped in a bath towel.

The talisman paper is full of lines and symbols with unknown meanings, which are complicated and have a special aura.

Song Changming touched this soul-locking talisman with his spiritual power.

The next moment.

Buzz!

The patterns and symbols on the surface of the Soul Locking Talisman seemed to come alive.

A series of extremely strong invisible chains were released, forming a powerful restraint that locked the mountain ginseng essence tightly, unable to break free or move.

Obviously, the Soul Locking Talisman has played its maximum role in trapping.

At the same time, Song Changming's mental power is always connected to this soul-locking talisman, and he can also check the status of the mountain ginseng spirit anytime and anywhere.

Any rash move it makes will be noticed by him immediately.

That's almost enough.

"Are you famous?" Song Changming suddenly asked.

"No." The mountain ginseng spirit spit out a ball of spiritual energy and sketched the handwriting.

Since it opened its wisdom and became a spirit, most of the time it has been a solitary person. The so-called name is useless, so naturally there is no opportunity to pick one.

"Then I'll call you Xiaojin." Song Changming said directly.

Song Changming knew that those monster clans also had the habit of naming themselves, especially those monster clans that were close to the human race, and they followed the example and named themselves similar to the human race.

The two big dogs he keeps with him are named Dahuang and Dabai, and Shan Ginsengjing also casually named them from the same series.

The mountain ginseng spirit didn't care, it was more concerned about when it would be able to get rid of Song Changming and regain its freedom.

It didn't tell Song Changming that a soul-locking talisman could only trap it for one year.

A year later, the moment the Soul Locking Talisman expires, it will have a chance to escape.

"That's it, let's get started." Song Changming sat cross-legged and said.

Xiao Jin was lying on the bed next to him, looking very interesting, and stretched out its traction.

The surrounding spiritual energy began to converge towards the room where Song Changming was located, and eventually enveloped him, forming a small piece of substantial spiritual mist visible to the naked eye.

When Song Changming was in it, he felt like he was in a spring erupting with spiritual energy. His energy refining efficiency skyrocketed, at least 50% stronger than usual!

"It seems to be better than when it was in the wild," Song Changming said secretly.

It seems that because we are in the city, more spiritual energy has gathered in the city, and then with the guidance of the mountain ginseng spirit, the effect will naturally be different.

As a result, his need for spiritual crystals was no longer so urgent.

During cultivation, the effect of this mountain ginseng essence can replace the spiritual crystal to a certain extent.

Of course, if there are extra spiritual crystals that can be squandered to assist cultivation, the combined effect of the two will be even more outstanding.

But at the moment, Song Changming is not in a hurry. Nothing is accomplished overnight, and life is always getting better.

Thinking back to the beginning of his martial arts practice, he had grown up step by step from the lowest level to where he is now. From a small Donglai city, he experienced dynasty changes and traveled all over the world.

Now that he has arrived in Guyuan Country, his starting point is much stronger than before, and it is no longer as difficult as starting from the bottom.

As long as his strength continues to improve steadily, as time goes by, he will always be able to surpass everything!

More than a month passed like this.

The innate Qi contained in the opened Earth Martial Veins in Song Changming's body was obviously more abundant.

Estimated by mental strength, the reserves of this innate Qi have almost doubled compared to more than a month ago!

Of course, such a huge increase was also due to the fact that he had entered the Xiantian realm for the first time and did not have much reserves of Xiantian Qi.

In this way, if nothing else, if he were to fly again, he would not soon fall into the dilemma of insufficient innate Qi.

Xiao Jin on the side breathed out a burst of spiritual energy and wrote a line of words "weakly".

"I need to replenish the treasures of heaven and earth, otherwise I will die over time."

Song Changming looked at it, frowned and said, "Is it so troublesome? Can't it absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish it?"

When Xiao Jin saw Song Changming digging around, he couldn't help but get angry and jumped to his feet: "I am such a rare treasure in this world. How can I just absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? You are going to starve me to death!"

"Then what kind of treasures do you want?" Song Changming said.

"Just like the purple Tianluo plant last time."

"Impossible." Song Changming refused without hesitation.

Now he also understands how precious the purple flower that the mountain ginseng spirit robbed him of, that is, the purple sky.

In a drug store in the main city, such a plant, no matter the quality, is worth at least several mid-grade spiritual crystals, comparable to the price of a spiritual locking talisman.

Not to mention that he doesn't have spiritual crystals on his body now, even if he did, he wouldn't be so extravagant to feed this mountain ginseng essence with such level of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"Then the inferior exotic flowers and fruits are also fine." Xiao Jin gave in.

"Neither are they."

"You!" Xiao Jin was so angry that he jumped up and down while wrapped in the soul-locking talisman.

"When I get rich one day, I will give you delicious food and drink spicy drinks. Now the family conditions are not good, so just bear with it for now. I will ask Ping An to go outside to pick some flowers and plants later, and you can make do with them to fill your stomach first." Song Changming casually painted a pie for the mountain ginseng spirit.

Xiao Jin almost laughed out of anger, but there was nothing he could do.

This is probably the feeling of living under someone else's roof.

He regretted again that he was greedy at the time and couldn't help but come up to swallow the purple sky net, which led to the bitter fruit of today.

The mountain ginseng spirit also saw that there was no food to be squeezed out of Song Changming, a poor guy, and stopped talking about it immediately.

In fact, Song Changming also saw that although the mountain ginseng spirit was a little weak, it was still far from being "starved to death".

At this time, Song Ping An walked in.

"Young master, it's time to go." Song Ping An said.

"Yes." Song Changming nodded, put the ginseng spirit back into the box, and gave it to Song Ping'an for safekeeping.

He went to a military field set up in the fifth district alone.

The huge military field is now crowded.

"Kid, try your best. Whether you can be selected depends on today!"

"Dad, I can do it. When I am selected, my brothers and sisters at home will not have to worry about food!"

"Good boy, this is also for your future! If you join the Cuiqi Army, you will be Cui Wang's people!"

"Yes!"

A father and son talked to each other.

Song Changming looked over and saw that the old father was already old, hunched over and still encouraging his child.

In front of him was a young man with dark skin.

The young man had bright eyes and was full of energy, as if he was already looking forward to his future.

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely restore the glory of our Li family! Let those who look down on us."

"Mom believes in you, but when you join the army, remember not to be strong, and do everything within your ability."

"I know, mom!"

"."

Similar conversations are everywhere.

Many people come here with beautiful visions from their families.

Of course, there are also many people like Song Changming who come here alone to fight for a future for themselves.

The thirty-six roads of Yunzhou were divided among the thirty-six kings.

Cuibai Road was ruled by King Cui.

He has more than one million mercenaries under his command, guarding the entire Cuibai Road, sweeping away demons and evil spirits, and protecting the safety of hundreds of millions of people!

In the main city of Cuibai, there are two armies stationed.

One is King Cui's Wang Shijun.

The other is Cuiqi Army.

The Wang Shijun is not easily dispatched, and its main responsibility is to guard the main city.

The Cuiqi Army, which has fought in the east and north, is the core force of the Cuiwang. It has been famous in the whole Yunzhou for thousands of years.

Today is the day for the Cuiqi Army to recruit soldiers and generals.

The Cuiqi Army's recruitment cycle is not fixed. Sometimes it comes once a year, and sometimes it doesn't come for three to five years, leaving many passionate and ambitious people with nowhere to go.

It has been more than three years since the last Cuiqi Army recruited soldiers, so today is so lively.

Not only the people in Cuibai City, but also the news of this matter has been spread more than a month ago, and the government has conveyed it to other big cities and towns in Cuibai Road.

Now, people with lofty ideals from all over the country have come here after hearing the news.

The number of recruits for the Cuiqi Army is limited every time, so the competition is bound to be fierce.

Song Changming looked around and found that all those who are qualified to participate in this recruitment are warriors.

With a sweep of his spiritual perception, there are many warriors who are practicing body, practicing qi, and even in the innate realm!

Those innate warriors seemed to have sensed the perception released by Song Changming, and they all turned their heads to look at him.

Their expressions were different, some smiled kindly, some stared coldly, or their eyes were full of provocation, and they were not afraid of Song Changming's arrival.

"Interesting, is the level of this conscription so high?" Song Changming said secretly.

The reason why he chose to join the army was that he had already considered it before.

He wanted to choose an identity that would allow him to integrate into the environment of Guyuan Country.

It would be best to find a suitable development platform to obtain various martial arts resources that he could hardly obtain, and subsequent skills and martial arts, so that his future martial arts practice would not stagnate.

And the development platform is nothing more than those two.

One is to join a sect with outstanding talent, and the other is to join the local royal power.

At the beginning in Dalai, he chose to serve as an official, which successfully helped him pass the most needed development stage in the early stage.

After gaining enough strength, he jumped out of the official system and flew solo.

With the past successful experience, this time, he naturally chose this similar path for stability and joined the government.

Unlike before, in the past, the power of the court was used for intrigue and infighting, and the princes fought one after another, and the people were living in misery.

In this ancient country, the main theme is that after losing the ruling power, the human race competes with thousands of alien races, resists the invasion of monsters and fierce creatures, and tries to take back the former land of Kyushu!

In such a big environment and background, the power of the government is more about fighting against alien races, and there are few civil strife.

So after Song Changming joins the army this time, it is not difficult to imagine what he will do in the future. It is likely to kill monsters to earn merits.

And killing monsters is exactly what he needs.

His body training has progressed to this point, and ordinary blood and flesh can no longer satisfy him.

He needs higher quality blood and flesh essence, and those powerful monsters and fierce creatures in the territory are the source of blood and flesh essence he needs!

Killing monsters is strengthening oneself!

In addition, if he chooses to join the local royal power, he can find a reason to resign at any time, but if he joins a sect, it will not be so easy to leave.

If he is not careful, he will become a heretic, bear the great sin of betrayal, and be despised by others.

And the more powerful the sect, the more difficult it is to get out, which is also a reason that Song Changming cannot accept.

Skipping the participants, Song Changming's eyes fell on the group of soldiers wearing white cloud armor.

He found that the strength of these soldiers was not weak, at least at the level of Qi Refining, and there were many in the Innate Realm!

"Only by gathering the strong in the world can such a powerful royal army be formed," Song Changming sighed silently in his heart.

A stick of incense burned out.

The conscription assessment began immediately.

"There are five assessment items in total, lifting Dinghai Stone, attacking formation, dodging arrows, weapon attainments, and fighting performance.

Those who pass all of them can be included in the Cuiqi Army Reserve. Among them, those with outstanding performance can be promoted to captains and command ten soldiers! Those with extremely outstanding performance can be promoted to centurions and command a hundred soldiers!

No need to waste time, those who volunteer, just come forward!"

A centurion, with one hand on the long sword, shouted loudly, and the words spread throughout the military arena, suppressing all the participants present to be quiet, without any noise.

The centurion saw the silence of the whole audience and nodded with satisfaction.

"First, the innate strong!" someone murmured.

And just when everyone was stunned, someone had already stepped forward and started the assessment.

Song Changming didn't want to waste time and make a finale. After watching the performance of others for a while, he led the crowd out.

In the field, there were several rows of dark-colored large stones placed horizontally and vertically, like weights. These were Dinghai stones, one of the assessment items.

"You can pass if you lift any Dinghai stone above your head. The heavier the stone, the better the performance. If you have internal energy, you can also use it." A soldier repeated.

Someone rolled up his sleeves confidently and hugged one of the smaller Dinghai stones.

Originally thought it was a sure thing, but Dinghai stone was not an ordinary large stone, and its weight was completely beyond the imagination of many people.

The man tried his best but only moved the Dinghai stone a little.

"Pick the smallest one, no count?" Seeing this, the soldier on the side curled his lips and said impatiently.

The man scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled awkwardly. It was obvious that he underestimated the weight of the Dinghai stone. He immediately went to the smallest Dinghai stone and tried to lift it.

This time he tried to move it to chest height, but he couldn't move it up no matter how his veins popped and he screamed.

"Your strength is not up to standard, so there's no need to compete later." The soldier was not surprised at all.

From the result of the man's first attempt to move the Dinghai Stone, he knew that the other party was not good enough, and the second attempt was just to make the other party give up completely.

"Next!" the soldier called.

Another burly man came out and moved the smallest Dinghai Stone over his head.

"Not bad, do you want to try a heavier one?" the soldier asked.

"Okay!" The burly man tried again, but unfortunately he couldn't lift the second Dinghai Stone.

"Okay, the strength is up to standard, go test other items." The soldier nodded.

"Next."

Song Changming approached and his eyes fell on the largest Dinghai Stone.

But before he could walk away, the soldier frowned and called him: "Boy, lift the smallest one, don't waste time on unrealistic things."

He saw that Song Changming was young and handsome, and he didn't look like a strong man, so he called him directly.

Song Changming glanced at him, and was too lazy to say more, and directly grabbed the smallest Dinghai Stone at his feet.

The Dinghai Stone is indeed heavy. The small piece is not even as high as Song Changming's knee, but it weighs at least more than 5,000 kilograms!

No wonder many people couldn't even lift the smallest piece during the process.

But for Song Changming, there is nothing to say, after all, the long sword he carries on his back weighs 10,000 kilograms!

He hooked the stone ring above the Dinghai Stone with just one index finger, lifted it up without changing his expression, and easily lifted it over his head.

"How is it?" Song Changming looked at the soldier and asked.

The soldier half opened his mouth, and reacted and said immediately: "It's OK, you continue."

Unconsciously, his tone became much more polite.

Song Changming's performance of lifting the Dinghai Stone with just one finger really shocked him.

He also understood that asking the person in front of him to move the smallest Dinghai Stone was indeed a small test.

Song Changming nodded, and directly passed the other Dinghai Stones and walked towards the largest one.

The size of this Dinghai Stone was already higher than Song Changming's head. Compared with the smallest Dinghai Stone, it was as big as a small house.

Looking at the size, Song Changming estimated that this Dinghai Stone was at least tens of thousands of pounds, or even more than 100,000 pounds!

"If so, ordinary Qi-refining warriors would find it difficult to carry this largest Dinghai Stone even if they used their internal energy. Is this for selecting innate warriors?"

Song Changming glanced at the generals in charge of this conscription not far away.

The generals also looked at him at this time.

After all, Song Changming was the only one standing in front of the largest Dinghai Stone.
