Chapter 246 Base Camp! 【Fourth update! 】
"Who is it? What a big noise."
"Who else in the wilderness can have such speed, the only one is the 'Jade Faced Judge' of Butian Sect."
"This is Xiao Sijiu's Wind and Thunder Escape Technique!"
"Jade-faced Judge? He doesn't have that name in this wilderness."
"The Lord of Sword Prison is indeed powerful."
……
The entrance to the Wilderness Cave is guarded by a large formation set up by the masters of the seven formations including Master Jiulong.
Over a hundred years later, as a hub for connecting monks from the seven sects, this place has developed into a large-scale city.
The core of Fang City is shrouded in formations, and no one is allowed to enter without any reason. The review is strict, and it looks deserted and serious.
Therefore, it was even more lively outside the formation.
One is the deserted background of the inner formation.
Secondly, there are indeed many people coming and going outside the formation.
Seven sects of monks operate here, and there are even many well-connected casual cultivators who have settled here.
The people who come in and out of the market are all human monks. They have many Qi refining stages, but there are also many mortals in the acquired and innate realms.
Those who were the first batch to enter the wild wilderness had the lowest cultivation level and were in the early stage of Qi refining. For example, in Wuling Mountain, Chen Jichuan led a team of nearly 200 people. Most of the chore disciples also had the third level of Qi refining.
However, time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly by.
The first batch of Qi-refining monks included the Qi-refining monks from various sects who later entered the wilderness, and they combined with each other to give birth to future generations. These descendants were born and raised here, and the first generation is either about to die of old age, or has already been promoted to the Qi Refining Realm.
Most of the ordinary people active in the market today were born in the past hundred years, and few are over a hundred years old.
Monks give birth to sons, and sons beget grandchildren, and grandsons beget sons, and sons and grandsons, endlessly.
After more than a hundred years and several generations of reproduction, most of them have remained.
Although the wilderness has the word "wild", it actually has a lot of resources, and some areas are richer than the Evil Ring Sea.
The Seven Immortal Sects asked Chen Jichuan and the other guardian elders to develop the advance base, and then decided to give priority to the development of two of the seven second-level caves that had no traces of evil gods, causing Chen Jichuan and the others to be in a state of overstocking.
To deal with the evil god.
Many second-level real people made the same choice as Chen Jichuan and joined forces with the Demon King. In this way, in the wild wilderness, the relationship between the human race and the demon race is much closer.
Those demon kings can directly cooperate with second-level real people.
For example, the Whirlwind Demon King, Fuling Demon King, etc. directly cooperated with Chen Jichuan. The same goes for other demon kings in the Wuling Mountain Alliance. If you want to buy elixirs and magic weapons, you can go directly to Wuling Mountain.
The big and small demons within Wuling Mountain can also trade with the monks brought by Chen Jichuan in Wuling Mountain.
Each advanced base is a large market for "human-male trading".
However, the output of these monks is limited, and the elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, etc. in their hands are not endless. Therefore, the market here in the base camp of the human monks is their purchasing channel and wholesale point.
Even monks who are not doing business can find some precious medicinal materials and refined materials in the wilderness, and they can bring them here to exchange for some elixirs and magic weapons.
As for the forward base?
It was open to the demon race, and the price was too low, so the human monks would never want to be ripped off.
With such a developed trade, the base camp will naturally prosper.
Every time Chen Jichuan comes back, there are obvious changes here. It is full of people and the atmosphere is completely different from the fear in the depths of the wilderness.
It is the breath of civilization.
Hundreds of miles away from Fang City, there are "outposts" responsible for security and investigation. The first is to not allow monsters to enter, and the second is to give an early warning to prevent powerful enemies from invading and causing a catastrophe if the base camp fails to respond in time.
Chen Jichuan flapped his wind and thunder wings and passed by these outposts without making any stop.
In the outpost, a monk was alerted and looked up. When he saw the wind and thunder surging, he knew that Dai Zong, the Buyian Sect, was back.
……
"Brother Dai's escape technique is becoming more and more powerful."
As soon as Chen Jichuan entered Fangshi, someone came to greet him.
When Chen Jichuan saw this man, he also smiled: "It is Brother Murong who is on duty at the base camp today. The last time I saw him was twenty years ago, right?"
There are seven guards in this base camp, one for each of the seven sects. Among them, the one who serves as the guard of Butian Sect is Luo Pu, the deputy head of Wufang Hall.
The other six sects are all similar characters.
For example, the person in front of you is the real person of the Seven Emperors Sword Sect who dominates the Seven Immortal Sects with his swordsmanship. His name is "Murong Jue". His swordsmanship is extremely powerful. He was already at the fifth level of cultivation before entering the wilderness. After staying in the wilderness for more than a hundred years, he is now a master of the sixth heaven.
The seven sect guards originally had the responsibility of guarding the base camp and were responsible for the affairs of each sect.
But here is the wilderness, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. No one is willing to spend all the time in the base camp and only get a little commission.
So Luo Pu, Murong Jue and other seven guards collaborated privately, each taking turns guarding the base camp for two years. At the same time, at least three people must be in charge of the base camp——
One person is on duty.
The other two people can rest assured to practice in seclusion, and there is no need to come out unless there is an emergency.
The other four town guards can wander around, looking for treasures, or hunting evil gods, and the profits are not small.
This time it was Murong Jue's turn to guard the base camp. At this moment, there should be two guards in the base camp who are practicing in seclusion.
The last few times Chen Jichuan came back, he didn't see Murong Jue. It was twenty years ago.
"Brother Dai has been making more and more noise in the depths of the wilderness in recent years, but the number of times he returns to the base camp has become less and less. I missed the first two visits."
Murong Jue pulled Chen Jichuan inside, his tone was quite cordial.
In these years, especially in recent years, Chen Jichuan led three demon kings to operate in the area near the Great Rift Valley of the First Meteorite in the north, killing eight evil gods of the fourth heaven one after another.
The news spread, even back to base camp.
Murong Jue, as one of the highest-ranking members of the Seven Immortal Sects in the wilderness, naturally heard about it. Seeing Chen Jichuan, he became more friendly every time.
In addition to being optimistic about Chen Jichuan's future and strength and wanting to make friends with him, there are also factors related to spiritual practice.
"We haven't seen each other for twenty years. Brother Dai is practicing hard in the depths of the wilderness. I think he will make great progress in swordsmanship. Don't be in a hurry when you come back this time. You and I will have a good talk."
Murong Jue was so enthusiastic that he wished he could drag Chen Jichuan into a fight in this city.
Chen Jichuan's sword diagram and the Seven Yuan Ruyi Tiangang Light Splitting Sword Technique made Murong Jue feel itchy.
"Brother Murong has your destiny, how dare Dai disobey him?"
Chen Jichuan also smiled, and then said: "But it will have to wait until I come back."
"Huh?"
"Brother Dai is going out?"
Murong Jue was a little surprised.
They are all sent here by the government. Every time they go out, they have to be in trouble, and they can't stay out for too long.
In his impression, Dai Zong rarely went out.
"Not bad."
"Senior Jiulong in the sect treats me very kindly. I will go back and meet him this time."
Chen Jichuan replied.
"Senior Jiulong?"
"I heard——"
When Murong Jue heard this, he immediately reacted and looked at Chen Jichuan with a little more appreciation in his eyes.
He had also heard news that the master of the Butian Sect, Jiulong Zhenren, was approaching his end, and many relatives and friends were rushing to Taimu Mountain to see him one last time.
But Chen Jichuan was in the depths of the wilderness, and it would take more than two months to get back to the base camp. It would take more than two months to rush back to Taimu Mountain in Zhongzhou from Tanzhou, where the entrance to the catacombs is. It took more than half a year to come and go.
Just to rush to see the real person in Jiulong, this feeling is amazing.
Think again.
The last few times Dai Zong went back seemed to be because of the death of a respected senior in the family. Murong Jue had made special inquiries and knew that the person in front of him did not have a deep foundation in the Butian Sect, and he had little contact with the seniors in the sect.
Not clinging to them while they were alive, but going to take them on their last journey when they were dying. Murong Jue couldn't help but praise this quality in his heart.
I increasingly feel that dating Dai Zong is a good thing.
But after all, it was a matter of life and death, so Murong Jue couldn't open his mouth to praise him. After hearing the reason, he did not delay Chen Jichuan, and immediately said: "Your affairs are important, let's go first, I will handle the exit procedures and information for you."
"Thank you so much, brother!"
Chen Jichuan thanked him quickly.
He was indeed in a hurry. When he received the news from the door, he was at the critical moment of hunting the Fire God ‘Zhu De’ and couldn’t get away.
It took two months to get back to the base camp, and I didn't know if I could make it in time. Murong Jue was not polite because it was convenient for him.
At that moment, he walked straight out of the wilderness.
……
White clouds linger.
The breeze is gentle.
After leaving the cave and returning to Cangyan Mountain in Tanzhou, Chen Jichuan couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he saw the sky of the evil ring sea.
Compared with the wild wilderness, the atmosphere in the Evil Ring Sea is much more relaxed.
Not to mention anything else, without the barbaric suppression, Chen Jichuan's flying speed increased a hundred times. He jumped up from Cangyan Mountain, with wings growing on his back, soaring straight into the sky.
Hoo ho ho!
The strong wind howled in my ears, and the clouds changed under my feet.
“I haven’t been this happy for a long time.”
The last time he came out was when the Second Elder Taishang was enthroned, he rushed back to see him off.
That was thirty-two years ago.
After many years, Chen Jichuan came out again, enjoying the rare relaxation, but his speed did not slow down. Instead, he vented wildly, feeling the speed and passion that was difficult to appreciate in the wild.
At first, he took Ding Xuan and others to follow Luo Pu, Jiulong Zhenren and others from Taimu Mountain to Cangyan Mountain, and took a warship for three months.
Now rushing back to Taimu Mountain from Cangyan Mountain, Chen Jichuan flew all the way and it only took him twenty days.
It was far from the 'more than two months' that Murong Jue had expected.
This is the speed of practicing the super-level escape method to the fourth level.
Twenty days later.
Chen Jichuan arrived at Taimu Mountain.
"Back again."
One hundred and fifty years can be said to be long or short.
It takes a long time to grow up enough for the changes in the human world, even for those who are cultivating immortals. But for the world, mountains and rivers, it is just a snap of the fingers, far from being a 'change in the sea'.
Taimu Mountain is still the same.
The mountains have not changed, the water has not changed, only the people in the mountains have changed.
Far away in the wilderness, Chen Jichuan, the main disciple of the Butian Sect, didn't recognize most of them. Among the group of senior brothers I met when I was a true disciple, few could be promoted to the second level, and all of them have passed away. The few people who have been promoted to real people are all from far and wide, so it is difficult to meet them.
Chen Jichuan went to the caves of several real people from the same period, and sure enough, none of them were in the caves.
He didn't wait either.
After wandering around for a while, we went straight to the cave of Jiulong Master.
