Chapter 555: Recruitment by the Demon-Hunting Army, Exchanging for Cultivation Resources

"It's just, is the talent of this batch of new-generation cultivators in Star Fall Continent a bit too high?"

Looking carefully at the spiritual root talent of the hundred contestants recorded in the information in his hands, Ye Qingxuan felt some doubt in his heart.

In this Star Fall Continent new-generation Qi Refining Realm grand competition, the worst talent among the new-generation cultivators of Star Fall Continent who made it into the grand finals was a five-element spiritual root talent, and there were only two of them.

The best talents were Jun Moyan, Li Taibai, and Xiao Yuexian, all of whom had eight-element spiritual root talent.

Besides them, there were five others, Li Gexiao, Shi Huang, Ling Yuexi, Leng Ren, and Nangong Ji, who had seven-element spiritual root talent.

The rest, including Ying Wuqiu, Yan Ruyan, Bing Ruyi, Yuan Qingcheng, and Wang Teng, were all six-element spiritual root talents.

You must know that when Ye Qingxuan first came to Star Fall Continent, besides the occasional birth of one or two geniuses with six- or seven-element spiritual roots, most geniuses basically only had five-element spiritual root talent.

Before this, even a single large continent within the inner five regions of the Di Xuan Realm could absolutely not give birth to so many geniuses in batches.

Perhaps, it was not just Star Fall Continent that gave birth to so many geniuses; other large continents in the Di Xuan Realm were probably the same, right? Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan raised his head slightly to look at the sky and muttered to himself, "Are you actively interfering?"

The batch birth of geniuses in the Di Xuan Realm made it hard for Ye Qingxuan not to suspect that it was the result of the active interference of the heaven and earth rules of the Di Xuan Realm.

In recent years, the heaven and earth rules of the Di Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm had been constantly entangling and contending with each other, attempting to swallow the other in one fell swoop.

Although this process involved most of the power of the heaven and earth rules of the two worlds,

Ye Qingxuan could vaguely sense it.

In the process of the confrontation between the heaven and earth rules of the two worlds, the heaven and earth rules of the Di Xuan Realm were also constantly analyzing the profound meanings and Dao laws of the Qingmo Realm, gradually becoming stronger.

As for the situation of the heaven and earth rules on the Qingmo Realm side?

Although Ye Qingxuan could not perceive the state of the heaven and earth rules of the Qingmo Realm at this moment, he imagined it was much the same as the heaven and earth rules of the Di Xuan Realm.

In the confrontation between the two worlds, whichever world's heaven and earth rules first accumulated enough foundation to transform into the prototype of the Heavenly Dao, driving the upgrade of the entire world, perhaps that world could achieve true victory.

And in this process, to gain the upper hand, the living cultivators in the two worlds would also play an indispensable role.

"Is this the reason for the batch appearance of geniuses in the Di Xuan Realm recently?"

Ye Qingxuan stared at the 'Heaven' above, his eyes flickering.

With his current realm, he could not discern all the changes in the Di Xuan Realm, so he had no way to confirm his conjecture.

But relying on his faint perception of the heaven and earth rules of the Di Xuan Realm, combined with some secret information about world upgrading in the Earth Immortal inheritance, Ye Qingxuan felt that his guess should be close to the truth.

"Forget it, don't think about these things. I am just a tiny Void Meditation Realm cultivator now."

"The overall situation of the Di Xuan Realm should be left to Master and the others to worry about!"

Shaking his head slightly, Ye Qingxuan withdrew his gaze and stopped thinking about these things he could not interfere with for the time being.

He, a tiny Void Meditation Realm cultivator, could perceive the changes in the heaven and earth rules of the Di Xuan Realm, let alone his master Cen Zhe and other Mahayana Realm powerhouses? The Di Xuan Realm could develop to this day and successfully grow to the peak status of a Small Thousand World, which could not be separated from the foresight of those Mahayana Realm cultivators and hegemon-level forces in the Di Xuan Realm.

Without the rules and order jointly set by the many Mahayana Realm and hegemon-level forces of the Di Xuan Realm through the ages, the Di Xuan Realm could not have successfully grown to the level of the peak of a Small Thousand World.

Therefore, in the confrontation between the two worlds, although he, Ye Qingxuan, would do his best for the Di Xuan Realm and also for himself,

he would not look down on those Mahayana Realm powerhouses of the Di Xuan Realm just because he was a transmigrator who had obtained the Earth Immortal inheritance and opened up a mutually reinforcing, growable Blessed Land, thinking that he was the key to saving the Di Xuan Realm.

Compared to a Di Xuan Realm at the peak of a Small Thousand World, the volume of a mere cultivator was really too small, even for a Mahayana Realm cultivator.

To let the Di Xuan Realm gain the upper hand in the confrontation between the two worlds and be the first to upgrade towards a Great Thousand World, it must rely on the power of all the cultivators in the entire Di Xuan Realm.

Gathering sand into a tower, gathering the power of all the cultivators in the Di Xuan Realm, could truly influence the overall trend of the confrontation between the two worlds.

Now the cultivators of the Di Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm were invading and killing each other, which seemed fierce; but in reality, for the two worlds at the peak of the Small Thousand level, it was just a small scuffle.

Ye Qingxuan believed that once the true masters of the Di Xuan Realm returned, there would inevitably be actions.

And on the Qingmo Realm side, perhaps it was the same.

It was just that he did not know to what extent the situation in the two worlds would develop by then? After pondering for a moment, thinking of the current situation in Star Fall Continent, Ye Qingxuan decided to set a secret move before the many Mahayana Realm powerhouses of the Di Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm returned from the void.

Having made a decision in his heart, Ye Qingxuan acted instantly.

In the Profound Heaven Sect, in the Qingxuan Blessed Land,

Ye Qingxuan's main body, which was refining a verdant flying boat, suddenly opened his eyes.

With a thought, a small mountain formed by lower-grade spirit crystals piled up in a valley not far away suddenly appeared in front of Ye Qingxuan.

Then, under Ye Qingxuan's manipulation, this small mountain formed by lower-grade spirit crystals was divided into four and put into four storage rings by Ye Qingxuan.

At the same time, among the many clones Ye Qingxuan was hunting in the Qingmo Realm, four clones stopped hunting and began to return to the Di Xuan Realm.

Over the years, among Ye Qingxuan's thirty-two clones, besides the clones stationed in the nine major regions of the Di Xuan Realm, there were fourteen clones maintaining the Void Penetration Realm cultivation base and hunting crazily in the Qingmo Realm.

While the fourteen clones plundered a large amount of resources for him, they were also successively suppressed and killed by the powerhouses of the Qingmo race, and nearly five clones had fallen one after another.

Fortunately, the fall of ordinary clones was nothing more than the loss of some energy for Ye Qingxuan; otherwise, losing five clones one after another would have made even Ye Qingxuan feel heartbroken.

However, with the ability of Ye Qingxuan's clones, five had also been lost in the Di Xuan Realm one after another.

Although this was related to the crazy hunting behavior of Ye Qingxuan's clones in the Qingmo Realm, it was not difficult to see the crisis that needed to be endured when hunting in the Qingmo Realm.

This time Ye Qingxuan recalled four clones from the Qingmo Realm, so from now on, there would only be ten clones hunting in the Qingmo Realm.

Just as Ye Qingxuan was planning, in the Dongxuan City of Star Fall Continent,

the plaza where the grand competition had just ended had now dispersed quite a few people.

Shi Huang, who was about to leave and go to the Dongxuan City Exchange Hall to exchange for some treasures suitable for his current stage of cultivation, was suddenly stopped by an old man.

"Little friend, can we have a chat?" Looking at the old man who had suddenly stopped him and whose cultivation base he could not see through, Shi Huang felt a tightness in his heart.

But once he thought that this was Dongxuan City, Shi Huang relaxed and bowed slightly to the old man: "Senior, I don't know what you want with Shi Huang?"

Facing Shi Huang's inquiry, the old man did not beat around the bush and said directly: "The old man is one of the Deity Transformation Realm Grand Commanders of Dongxuan City, one of the commanders under Lord Bai Mang. I want to recruit you, little friend, to join the Demon-Hunting Army formed by Lord Bai Mang. I don't know what your intention is, little friend?"

At this moment, not only Shi Huang, but all the hundred youths who entered the grand finals of the Star Fall Continent new-generation Qi Refining Realm grand competition, as long as they had no background, were facing recruitment by subordinates left in Dongxuan City by some Grand Commanders of Dongxuan City.

Although many powerhouses of Dongxuan City had already left Star Fall Continent and gone to other regions for tempering, the major Demon-Hunting Armies they formed had not disbanded.

In Star Fall Dongxuan City, there were garrisons of these Demon-Hunting Armies left by these powerhouses, and there were reserve members of these Demon-Hunting Armies inside.

In normal times, the managers of these Demon-Hunting Army garrisons would recruit potential new members for the army masters.

The hundred Qi Refining Realm geniuses who came to Dongxuan City now were basically the hundred strongest new-generation geniuses of this session in the entire Star Fall Continent, which naturally made these managers of the Demon-Hunting Army garrisons very tempted and gave rise to the intention of recruitment.

And the old man standing in front of Shi Huang now was one of the Void Meditation Realm cultivators left in Dongxuan City from the Demon-Hunting Army formed by a Grand Commander named Bai Mang in Dongxuan City.

Hearing the old man's recruitment, Shi Huang hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head and refused:

"Senior, the junior has just joined Dongxuan City, my cultivation base is low, and now I just want to focus on cultivation and am not considering joining the Demon-Hunting Army for the time being."

The Demon-Hunting Army system was also famous throughout the Star Fall Continent, and even Shi Huang, who came from Shi Village, had heard of it.

After his cultivation base improved in the future, joining a Demon-Hunting Army would not be a bad place to go.

But he had just joined Dongxuan City and did not know much about the major Demon-Hunting Armies of Dongxuan City, so he was not in a hurry to join the Demon-Hunting Army now.

Anyway, with the protection of the rules set by Dongxuan City, he did not worry about being bullied by other powerhouses after refusing.

It was just that after Shi Huang refused, the old man in front of him did not give up: "Little friend, think about it again. Once you join our Bai Mang Demon-Hunting Army, you will get resource support from our Bai Mang Demon-Hunting Army worth at least one hundred thousand contribution points. One hundred thousand contribution points of resources can speed up your growth quite a bit in the early stage."

Shi Huang was the one with the strongest talent among those from grassroots backgrounds and without background reliance in this session of the Star Fall Continent new generation.

Therefore, Shi Huang was extremely attractive not only to the Bai Mang Demon-Hunting Army but also to other Demon-Hunting Armies.

If he could, the old man naturally hoped that Shi Huang would join their Bai Mang Demon-Hunting Army.

It was a pity that if it were before, facing resources worth one hundred thousand contribution points, Shi Huang might have been tempted.

But Shi Huang, who had just finished the grand competition and obtained a large number of contribution points, now had no intention of joining the Demon-Hunting Army.

"The junior does not have the idea of joining the Demon-Hunting Army for the time being. Please forgive me, Senior!"

After politely refusing, Shi Huang did not give the other party a chance to continue speaking and left this place with an apologetic face.

On the way to the Exchange Hall, Shi Huang successively encountered recruitment from other Demon-Hunting Armies, but without exception, they were all refused by Shi Huang.

On Mount Wanling,

Ye Qingxuan saw the recruitment of the new-generation geniuses of Dongxuan City by the major Demon-Hunting Armies.

Over the years, with the development of the major Demon-Hunting Armies, they had gradually formed signs of factions in Dongxuan City and started competition, whether open or secret.

But Ye Qingxuan did not come forward to stop all this.

As long as they followed the rules he set, even if the major Demon-Hunting Armies formed factions, it would not matter.

Moreover, benign competition was also conducive to the development of Dongxuan City.

So although Ye Qingxuan discovered the formation of major factions, he did not interfere with the development of all this.

On the other side,

after Shi Huang arrived at the Exchange Hall and entered a small room,

he took out his Dongxuan Token, activated the exchange list with corresponding permissions, and looked at the dense cultivation resources on the exchange list; a rare look of excitement appeared on Shi Huang's face.

Various elixirs and treasures assisting cultivation, as well as magic treasures, talismans, array disks, spells, and even various spiritual medicines and materials, nearly one hundred thousand types of cultivation resources appeared in front of Shi Huang one by one according to type.

This was just the cultivation resources that could be exchanged within the fourth-order exchange permission below the Void Penetration Realm.

If the exchange resources above the fourth order were added, Shi Huang could not imagine how many types of cultivation resources could be exchanged in Dongxuan City.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the excitement in his heart, Shi Huang began to browse the cultivation resources he needed carefully.

After a long time, Shi Huang exchanged for a batch of various elixirs to assist his cultivation, ten first-order Mixed Spirit Fruits, ten second-order Mixed Spirit Fruits, three primary spells with power reaching the supreme grade, and one month's usage permission for a second-order spiritual vein cave dwelling.

The wealthy Shi Huang spent nearly twenty thousand contribution points all at once.

It was refreshing to exchange, but looking at the contribution points deducted from his Dongxuan Token, Shi Huang felt a bit of heartache again.

The bulk of the contribution point consumption was not anything else, but those twenty Mixed Spirit Fruits.

Just those twenty Mixed Spirit Fruits cost Shi Huang thirteen thousand contribution points.

These Mixed Spirit Fruits were the fruits grown by the first- and second-order Mixed Spirit Trees in the seedling stage that grew on the seventh-order Mixed Spirit Stone mine occupied by one of Ye Qingxuan's clones in the Eastern Extreme Region, Linyuan Continent.

Mixed Spirit Fruits could nourish a cultivator's body and improve a cultivator's physical strength and meridian toughness.

After Shi Huang took them, even without cultivating body-refining techniques, he could ignore the impact of first- and second-order spiritual energy, significantly speeding up the progress of absorbing and refining first- and second-order spiritual energy, saving Shi Huang a lot of cultivation time.

Although the resources exchanged this time cost a lot of contribution points, with Shi Huang's talent, it was enough for him to cultivate all the way to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Shi Huang prepared to raise his cultivation base to the Foundation Establishment Realm in Dongxuan City first, and then return to Shi Village.

With his talent, plus this batch of resources, it would not take him much time to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Holding the resources he had just exchanged, Shi Huang left the Exchange Hall and flew towards the location of the second-order spiritual vein cave dwelling he had exchanged for.
