After the resonance teleportation array was completed, the disciples of the Shangqing Sect who were traveling with them were sent away, but the leader, Chen Rong, stayed at Black Sky Peak for five full days.
During these five days, Bai Xiaowen used the newly built resonance formation to summon 300 skeleton workers from the White Phoenix Territory.
Bai Xiaowen also spent nearly a thousand spiritual crystals. It has to be said that in the spirit world, even if the resonance formation is built, the price for the lord to summon the territorial army is still too high.
The strength of these skeleton workers is very weak, that is, the third and fourth levels of awakened people, the level of ordinary templates, each of them costs more than 3 spiritual crystals.
If it is an army of Five Elements Banner warriors, a warrior of more than ten levels will cost one or two hundred spiritual crystals! It is almost the same price as recruiting citizens. Summoning an army of one hundred Five Elements Banner warriors will easily cost ten thousand or twenty thousand spiritual crystals.
The cost is really terrible.
Therefore, the real advantages of the lords are in the main material plane and the secret realm of the universe, places outside the spiritual world.
In those places, the lords only need a source of spiritual power and can complete the summons without spending additional spiritual crystals, greatly saving costs.
Bai Xiaowen summoned these skeleton workers, mainly to clean up the ruins of Heitian Peak, repair Heitian Palace, and use this place as the residence of the "Eternal Life Gate".
After staying with Bai Xiaowen for five days, Chen Rong had to leave. She needed to take charge of the daily affairs of the Shangqing Sect.
In the past five days, Chen Rong made a batch of "Thousand-mile Transmission Talisman" and "Spirit Talisman Paper Crane", handed them to Bai Xiaowen, and told: "Your sect's contribution is not enough, you can pay it first. I will return to Shangqing
After sending the talismans, you will continue to make these two kinds of talismans in your free time. When this batch of talismans is used up, you have to come to the Shangqing sect in person to pick them up... Your demon soldiers and ghost generals cannot enter the mountain gate of the Shangqing sect.
Remember it clearly."
Bai Xiaowen could only agree, and then said: "Master Chen, wait a minute, I have one more request."
"Say it."
Bai Xiaowen: "I want to add my spiritual power mark to the rune circuit of the basic sword talisman. However, my attainments in the talisman are very shallow, and I really can't figure out a clue. Can you please do it?"
Chen Rong didn't ask about the purpose, nodded and said: "Combining the sword talisman? It's not difficult. Are there any additional requirements?"
Bai Xiaowen secretly thought that Chen Rong should be regarded as the top master of Shao's positioning face talisman. This difficulty is indeed not challenging for her, so he further said: "There is only one way, try to reduce the energy consumption."
"Understood." Chen Rong also put away his relaxed look and reduced the energy consumption. This requirement is not high, and it is definitely not low. How much consumption reduction is considered perfect? There is no limit at all.
"I...I'm leaving."
Chen Rong glanced at Bai Xiaowen, but finally said nothing.
In Chen Rong's mind, "Lu Wang" is an ideal partner.
With peerless good looks, extraordinary talent, great strength, and a grand reputation, he is also the master of a foreign territory.
Compared with "Lu Wang", all the other fellow disciples and martial arts heroes are dim and lackluster. They are like fireflies to the bright moon.
However, if "Lu Wang" didn't take the initiative to confess her love, how could she, a reserved girl, speak first?
What's even more hateful is that "Lu Wang" is accompanied by other women.
Originally, Chen Rong still had some grievances against him, but now? In Chen Rong's mind, "Lu Wang" has become a young hero with the world in mind and lofty ideals. How about getting angry with "Lu Wang" again?
Rong asked himself if he could do it.
【Wait, Awang! You will be mine sooner or later.】
Chen Rong stepped on a giant crane made of paper and soared towards the south.
Bai Xiaowen looked at Chen Rong's back and sighed silently in his heart.
He is not a love idiot, how could he not understand Chen Rong's thoughts.
However, Bai Xiaowen saw clearly that Chen Rong had an independent personality, which was different from Zhen Mi, Li Shuyi, and Cecilia.
Chen Rong has a strong desire for exclusivity, and this is one of them.
Chen Rong is more rational, a bit like Empress Wu Zetian, and will not take Bai Xiaowen more seriously than the Shangqing faction. This is the second reason.
Therefore, it is better to stick to the duty of "partner".
…
Two days later.
In the sky above Black Sky Palace, a giant frost dragon circled down.
Stepping down from the giant frost dragon was a two-meter-tall knight covered in black armor.
King of the Bone Clan, Abaddon.
Abaddon was also carrying a person in his hand. This person was wearing an official uniform of the Song Dynasty, but without a hat. His face was dusty, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Abaddon, who did you bring?"
"Great Master," Abaddon dropped the man in his hand and saluted, "This is an elite demon. His other identity is a secret agent of the Song Dynasty."
"A secret agent of the Song Dynasty? A demon?"
Bai Xiaowen became interested, glanced at the trembling "person", and asked: "How did you catch him?"
Abaddon said: "We followed the Lord's order and sneaked into Lin'an City to gather information. However, after leaving the city, Siggdrifa found someone following her, so she used a trick and captured him. Siggdrifa asked clearly about this
Since the demon still has the identity of a secret agent of the Song Dynasty, he thinks that his life is of high value, so he asked me to take him to report to the master."
After a pause, Abaddon presented another piece of paper: "This is the information we have gathered over the past few days. Please take a look at it, Lord."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and smiled: "Sigdrifa is right. This person with dual identities is definitely a key figure. Moreover, he came from the Song Dynasty court, and the information he knows must be more detailed than what you have inquired about."
Taking the page, Bai Xiaowen said to the trembling "person": "What is your name? What is your origin? Tell me honestly."
The "man" lowered his head and said, "The villain's name is Zhang Xi, and he is... a rabbit demon."
"I didn't ask you what kind of monster you are!" Bai Xiaowen shook his head, "I asked you, what is your status in the Song Dynasty court."
The rabbit demon Zhang Xi quickly said: "This villain works under Mr. Li of the Jiyi Department. Because of his sensitive ears and eyes, he was arranged by Mr. Li to monitor Lin'an and be on guard... on guard against foreign spies."
"Jiyi Division, what department is it? Who is Mr. Li?"
The rabbit demon Zhang Xidao said: "The Jiyi Department is an intelligence department directly under the Privy Council. Mr. Li's name is Li Zhixiao. He is a wolf demon, and his cultivation level is ten times higher than mine..."
Bai Xiaowen's eyes narrowed, but he didn't expect another demon to pop up. He really answered the sentence, "The demons are rampant."
"Tell me everything you know," Bai Xiaowen gently shook the page full of information. "My subordinates also inquired about a piece of information. If what you said is not completely true, it will be different from this piece of paper."
Where the information is inconsistent... you have to explain the reasons."
The rabbit demon Zhang Xi said quickly: "The villain tells everything he knows... and tells everything he knows!"
