"You have to work harder on this big cauldron. The master will use it in seven days. You must not waste time."
The examiner handed Jiang Li and others over to a Mediterranean monk who was in charge here.
Most formation masters will easily suffer from hair loss crisis after reaching a certain age. Some can be saved by using secret recipes, while for some particularly outstanding ones, no matter how many elixirs they take, they may not be effective.
The manager of the Mediterranean Sea was patrolling everywhere to promote progress. When he found something was wrong, he started pointing and cursing.
Jiang Li and others watched him grabbing a subordinate and scolding him for a quarter of an hour before they had time to pay attention to them.
But seeing the number of new people brought, his face showed dissatisfaction again.
"Only so many? Don't fool me."
"If we fail to complete the task, the leader will become angry, and everyone will be destroyed together!"
The examiner was helpless, as the Wantu Sect recruits thousands of new blood every day.
But qualified formation masters are too rare, and the other casual cultivators who participated in the test were too poor.
If you just use it directly without training and correction, it will really ruin everything.
"Okay, okay, you guys come with me. Let me see what you can do."
In front of Master Na Ku's desk, there is a huge fully analytical drawing.
Jiang Li took a glance and saw that it was a tripod-shaped magic weapon that was larger than a house.
Judging from the materials used and the size of the runes, this magic weapon will not be simple to make, and its power may be directly comparable to that of the Earth Level.
It's a magic weapon comparable to the earth-level, just practice it.
This kind of structure, at least in the Dazhongshan Immortal Cultivation World, does not yet exist.
Soon, Master Ku brought over a stack of drawings and distributed them to Jiang Li and others.
"You all go over there to carve patterns on the black bricks. You can't make any mistakes according to this drawing. You must hand in ten qualified black bricks within one day, otherwise you will all go and light the fire for me!"
For a magic weapon of this size, it is extremely difficult to make the furnace and mold of Xiangyin, so the method they used was to melt and cast metal ingots layer by layer.
Just like building a house, metal ingots that have been individually refined are melted and cast upwards in circles.
The difficulty lies in keeping the upper part of the cauldron in a semi-molten state forever, and there must be no mistakes in the cast ingot.
Once it melts again after solidification, or the position of a certain black brick is deviated, the integrity of the magic weapon will be greatly compromised and the result will be lost.
This requires a large number of fire-attribute monks to take turns providing powerful firepower for maintenance, and it also requires an array master whose skills are so exquisite that even Jiang Li can only look up to him to coordinate the overall situation.
Keeping high-grade metals in a molten state is not particularly difficult, even with the help of specific formations.
It is not the same concept as the task of fanning the flames of the alchemy hall, which even the qi training disciples in the sect can take on.
This is probably the reason why Wan Tu Clan specially recruits fire-attribute monks.
And the top formation master that the latter needs is probably Master Ku.
Jiang Li and others were assigned to their own spiritual carving platform. After getting started, they didn't even have a chance to adapt and were directly dragged into working as coolies.
Each person had ten black bricks, each of which was the size of a coffin. The hard work began according to the drawings.
According to the disassembled drawings, carving textures on the flat surface can only be regarded as the most basic work.
Even if they are casual cultivators, they are not unable to do this.
While Jiang Li was carving patterns on the black bricks, he was looking around. No one was watching them, and they could leave at any time as long as they finished their work.
This place was probably built temporarily by Wantumen after they captured Luanshi Ridge.
After making such a big move and temporarily refining such a large cauldron, I don't know what it is used for.
He quickly completed the work at hand in three strokes, five by two, and several others who came in with him probably had to stay up all night to catch up with the progress.
After pretending to be tired and handing in ten rune black bricks, Jiang Li received today's allowance.
And was told that he could find an unoccupied residential house in Blackstone City as his residence.
If there are still local residents who are not dead inside, they are free servants, and no one will stop them from doing anything they want.
Walking on the street, the city made of hard black stones has a unique flavor. From some traces on the roadside, Jiang Lishang can tell that this was once a very prosperous city for cultivating immortals.
But at this moment, there are only human corpses piled up everywhere that have not been cleaned up, showing the sadness of this place.
If he doesn't stop it, maybe in the near future, the world of immortality cultivation in Dazhong Mountain will become what it is now.
Bang!
At this time, a dirty child suddenly bumped into him.
Jiang Li didn't move at all. The child's head was so red and swollen that he bounced back and sat on the ground.
"I'm sorry, my lord!"
The child apologized profusely, then lowered his head and ran away.
The child lowered her head, but Jiang Li could still see a series of numbers stamped on her face.
The Wantu Sect is not a kind person. Those who survived in Blackstone City were all demoted to the status of slaves. They branded numbers on their faces and kept them in the city as property.
The child just now was one of them.
However, she bumped into it on purpose.
Jiang Li casually walked forward into an alley, then reached out and took out a piece of paper from his arms. The child had quietly stuffed it into his arms during the collision.
If Jiang Li hadn't seen that she hadn't taken anything out, the child would have been gone.
"Twenty-two Oak Street."
There is only such an address written above.
After Jiang Li read it, the note suddenly spontaneously ignited and burned, disappearing completely.
Judging from this posture, it seemed that he had been approached by a group of underground workers.
Blackstone City has just fallen. If Wantumen wants to manage this entire area, it cannot be stable without decades of business development.
The existence of some of these resistance forces is really normal.
These resistance forces have the same goal as Jiang Li, and they can be united and fought for.
Theoretically speaking, Jiang Li should visit according to the address on the note and obtain cooperation.
But who is Jiang Li?
I am the leader of the Chongshan Alliance. It is too simple to just write a note and lead him by the nose.
He didn't go to the 22nd House on Oak Street. Instead, he found a nearby house and walked in.
Fortunately for him, there was a brother and sister, a man and a woman, huddled in the corner and shivering.
After seeing Jiang Li come in, the woman was so frightened that she shrank, while the man forced himself to calm down and came forward and knelt down in front of Jiang Li.
Those who can live in this urban area were descendants of a family that cultivated immortals. Being able to be so flexible and flexible, their character is indeed good.
"Sir, is there anything we can do for you, sir?"
Jiang Li waved his hands and completely ignored their intentions. He found a random room and meditated there.
....
At night, Oak Street.
"Master Huyan, why hasn't the person you mentioned come yet? Is he really trustworthy?"
Several monks wearing the peripheral attire of Wan Tu Sect were gathered in an inconspicuous residence, discussing something in secret.
"I used the Qi Watching Technique to see that the man behaved unusually and had a righteous spirit, and he was extremely proficient in the rune formations. He must not be an ordinary casual cultivator. He must be a direct disciple of a large sect of the righteous path to have this ability."
"That kind of person will never truly join the Wantu Sect. I think he will accept our cooperation."
"Now the remaining monks in our Rock Ridge are being forced to attack a world of immortal cultivation called Dazhong Mountain."
"But what the Wan Tu Sect said were all lies. By chance, I learned some of the secrets of the Blood King's Crown. Once the cauldron is completed, all the people in this city will inevitably die!"
"We need help, please be patient and wait."
But as time passed by little by little, not only did they not arrive at Jiangli, the door of No. 22 House on Oak Stone Street was kicked open from the outside.
A group of Blood Sword Guards rushed in aggressively and started beating, smashing, burning, and digging three feet into the ground. They smashed the inside and outside of the residence, and then left angrily after finding nothing.
"Master Huyan, did we send that note to the wrong person?"
Mr. Huyan and the others who were hiding in No. 23's house on Oak Street across the wall all had frightened expressions on their faces.
Fortunately, they were careful, otherwise they would have been thrown out of the pot this time.
Their notes were indeed burned after being read, but with just a few words, Jiang Li could have written a new note himself and sent it to the Blood Sword Guards in a way that could easily arouse suspicion.
Then the scene just happened.
What Jiang Li did was both a lesson and a test.
The first is to ask them to have a correct attitude and ask who is begging whom.
The second is to see if this group of people is thorough enough. If it is a group of brainless "righteous men", it is safer for him to work alone.
"Wait, look over there."
After the team of Blood Blade Guards left, a mouse in a red coat jumped out from nowhere.
Without running around, he crossed his legs and sat on the only chair in the house that was still intact.
Next to the mouse in the red coat, there was a bottle of elixir.
Master Huyan looked at the elixir in the dark and knew that Jiang Li had already understood that it was him who had passed the note.
Because that was the bottle of poisonous mushroom antidote he gave to Jiang Li when he was traveling in the wilderness.
Then he also participated in the same test as Jiang Li, and quietly witnessed Jiang Li's miraculous spirit carving technology.
Only then did the note incident occur.
"What is that? A rat spirit?"
The monk next to him looked confused. What happened to this mouse?
"No, that person is here, let's go out."
Mr. Huyan sighed, knowing that what he did was somewhat inappropriate.
Since you want something from someone, you should take the initiative to come to the door rather than putting on airs and testing the other person.
The scene just now showed Jiang Li's dissatisfaction. Now that the two sides are even, it's time to talk about business.
Several of them appeared from next door, and a group of five people stood in front of Jiang Li.
"I offended you a lot just now, but in the territory of Wantu Sect, I really have to be careful, so I ask for your forgiveness."
Seeing a few rats in red coats coming out, they also stood up and held their hands in their hands, bowing to them.
"It was me who was reckless. Sir, please don't take offense."
"My name is Yanlong'an. I'm bothering you this time for the sake of the lives of the 300,000 people in Blackstone City. Please help me sir."
Mr. Huyan is quite a talented person, he can really bow to a mouse.
Huyan is a popular surname in the Immortal Cultivation World in Luanshiling, which is basically equivalent to the status of the Shenshan family in Dazhong Mountain. It can be seen that this person must have held a high position in Blackstone City before.
"Tell me, what do I need to do? What can I get?"
Jiang Li did not reveal his identity as a Chongshan Leaguer, but asked for compensation from the perspective of someone who had nothing to do with him.
Several people behind Huyan Longan were immediately dissatisfied, but were stopped by their master's gesture.
"We in Stone Ridge secretly inherit a dragon ball."
"Sir, if you can help us succeed, Huyan can help you obtain the Dragon Ball."
Jiang Li perked up upon hearing this.
"Dragon Balls? Do you have Dragon Balls here?"
"No, even if there is a dragon ball, it should have been snatched away by Wan Tu Clan."
He was surprised at first, and then asked two questions.
Where did the dragon come from in this stone wasteland?
And if the other party wants Jiang Li to grab the dragon ball from Wan Tumen, then...
He might come over now and crush the five of them to death.
"I don't know the origin of the dragon ball in detail, but there is a dragon ball enshrined in the Holy Land of Rock Mountain. Only my Huyan clan knows the specific address, and outsiders will definitely not be able to find it."
Huyan Longan explained again, barely convincing Jiang Li of the existence of the Holy Land and the Dragon Ball.
"And we need sir to do some tricks on two hundred black bricks to hide this rune inside."
"I believe it shouldn't be difficult to do with Mr.'s formation level."
Seeing Jiang Li's interest, he handed over another drawing, depicting a vertical pupil symbol with simple lines but seemed to have a special charm.
What he meant was to let Jiang Li use a high-end technique of "re-hiding the pattern" to hide the vertical pupil on those mysterious ingots the size of a person. The most important thing is that no one can see it.
This is not a skill that can be used by everyone. In the former Stone Ridge, there were only a handful of masters capable of this level. Now there is not even a single one left who has died.
They probably approached Jiang Li with the mentality of giving it a try.
"Can."
Fortunately, they were really lucky and happened to bump into him.
Jiang Li controlled the mouse in the red coat to pick up a piece of wood on the ground, first drew the vertical pupil on it, and then began to overlay and outline the pattern on the vertical pupil symbol.
Soon, the same complicated lines as those on the black bricks completely covered the vertical pupils. They came closer and looked left and right, but they couldn't see any clue at all.
After hearing Jiang Li's answer and seeing Jiang Li's operation, the expressions of the people opposite him first showed surprise, and then turned into shock.
Being able to do this kind of operation is already at a unique level.
Not to mention that Jiang Li is still a mouse controlled remotely, so the main body can easily catch it.
"Sir, you are really good at it, I admire you!"
"With the help of sir, there is finally hope to stop the Blood King Cauldron!"
Blood King Cauldron? Jiang Li was a little concerned when he heard the name. This thing wouldn't be related to the identification of the owner of the Blood King Crown.
"Don't be too happy too early. This technique can deceive ordinary formation masters. It cannot be hidden in front of real masters."
"Especially that Master Ku, I must not let him see the black bricks I carved. You need to protect me."
Jiang Li's request is reasonable and reasonable. They also have some manpower hidden in the city, and they have to help even if they risk their lives.
"It's natural. We will do our best to assist you. Also, may I ask your name?"
After some conversation, Huyan Longan bowed respectfully to the mouse in red coat again.
