Monarch of Evernight: Returning to the old place on November 1
bsp; "Yes, a task that is very suitable for you. Yingnan has already gone to negotiate terms with the other party. I think it will probably work. You just need to wait for the news."
"What kind of task?"
"You will know when the time comes."
Qianye frowned. He didn't like the second master's secretive attitude and said, "But why should I take this task?"
"Because you are suitable. Besides, if you have money, why not make it? That's a lot of money. Even the top tasks of a hunter don't have such a high reward." The second master raised the list in his hand and said: "Besides, this is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. The things above are very suitable for your current situation, and you can get a lot of improvement in a short time. And if I eat this batch of goods, I can prove the strength of the Hunter House, and I will have If you are qualified to continue to get goods from that channel, especially those potions, you can attract top hunters with six stars or above for the Hunter House. And... this mission is also good for Yingnan."
Qianye frowned, then nodded after a moment: "Okay, I promise you. But how long will this task take?"
"Maybe half a year, or even longer."
Qianye nodded, feeling that this was somewhat reasonable. If a task that can earn thousands of gold coins only takes a month, then it is either a scam or a trap. Anyway, as a mere two-star hunter, there is no way he would receive such a mission.
After seeing off the second master, Qianye planned to stay at home and practice hard for a few days. There was something wrong with his body, he was extremely weak.
That night, the second master sent someone to deliver five potions. The sealed medicine box is made of a special material, with a force array engraved inside to prevent the medicine from being lost. After opening the medicine box, all injections must be used within a week, otherwise they will lose their effectiveness.
Qianye purchased food reserves, rechecked the outer courtyard and indoors of Yu Yingnan's house, and set up traps. After everything was ready, he opened the medicine box, took out an injection, injected it into his upper arm, and then began to practice the art of military attack.
The potion took effect quickly, and Qianye clearly felt that he was much more sensitive to the Force, and it was easier to absorb the Force through the three nodes. The medicine itself will also release the Force in the veins. In addition to making the Force tide more active and surging, this power can even be directly integrated into it.
Qianye’s force power is much stronger than those of his peers. After getting through the most difficult air sea node, it will not be that difficult to activate other nodes, but it will also require nearly twice the force power. Able to successfully break through the barrier.
Under the influence of the medicine, the tide of the force becomes more turbulent, more powerful, and easier to form. Twenty rounds passed in the blink of an eye. When Qianye silently counted to the last number, he suddenly realized that it seemed particularly easy and quick to reach twenty rounds tonight.
He paid attention to the internal situation of his body, and then discovered that only two ordinary blood energies were constantly intercepting the force, while seven blood energies were originally active, and the two special blood energies, golden and purple, were completely silent. Qianye suddenly had a ridiculous feeling. Those two blood energy seemed to have thoughts. He knew that there was too little ordinary blood energy at this time, so he had to keep those two as seeds.
After a while, his heart trembled, and a new stream of ordinary blood surged out. At this time, the force tide was approaching thirty rounds.
Qianye's physique is no longer what it used to be, and the strength of his internal organs and body have increased exponentially. The shock and pain caused by thirty rounds of force tides are about the same as those in the past twenty rounds. Qianye gritted his teeth and successfully passed the Soldier King mark, no longer as injured as the first time.
Under the dual effects of potions and greatly enhanced physical fitness, this time Qianye practiced until thirty-three rounds of force tides, before he could no longer hold on and stopped to rest.
Now Qianye has experienced firsthand why heroes in the imperial army are judged by the number of rounds that can withstand the tide of the Force. The training efficiency of a soldier king in thirty rounds is twice that of an entry-level recruit in an elite legion in twenty rounds. After thirty rounds, for every additional round he endures, his training efficiency will increase by roughly 10%.
General exercises are all about gradual progress and accumulation. The further you go in practice, the more affected you will be by your talent. Those with lower potential will almost always have bottlenecks, making it difficult to move forward. On the other hand, the Art of Military Attack was just the opposite. It was made vigorously and diligently from the very beginning. After thirty rounds, the efficiency still improved steadily. It almost ignored any bottlenecks below the level of generals.
If the Military Conquest Technique 20 rounds ago can be regarded as a top-notch technique in terms of speed, then the speed of the Military Conquest Technique after 35 rounds can only be matched by a few secret techniques in the entire empire. . It's just that the vast majority of people can't survive twenty rounds and will be killed by the backlash of the force tide.
Qianye's blood energy is still in an abnormally weak state. After it recovers to the seven paths, the blood energy will be able to protect the internal organs on its own. At that time, he may be able to try thirty-five rounds of force tides. In this way, even if the original power he cultivates will be swallowed up by blood, his cultivation speed will not be much worse than the King of Soldiers.
At the end of this round of practice, Qianye got a surprise. He found that the Force node barrier on his left hand had faintly emerged. It was obvious that the Force accumulation was close to the critical point. The next step was the process of continuous accumulation and impact on the barrier. It wouldn't take long. You can ignite the fourth node.
As a result, Qianye stayed at home for the next few days. As long as his body could bear it, he remained in a state of cultivation. The effect of each potion lasts for a whole day, so don't waste it.
Thousands of kilometers away from Dark Blood City, Yu Yingnan was stepping off a military aerostat. This airship base has a strong military style. Civilian passenger and cargo boats are crowded in a corner of the northeastern area. The airships taking off and landing in most areas, and the running vehicles, all bear dazzling various legion emblems.
Yu Yingnan stood there for a few minutes. She was no stranger to those various military emblems, and she could casually name the accurate affiliations of more than half of them. But she quickly looked away and walked towards a military station near the base gate.
She handed a metal nameplate to the sentry and said, "I want to see Miss Qiqi."
The sentry inspected the Force imprint on the nameplate, immediately became respectful, gave Yu Yingnan a military salute, and said, "Please wait a moment, I need to report this matter to my superior."
Yu Yingnan nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, I can wait.",
The sentry then ran into the military station like the wind. A moment later, a light off-road vehicle drove out from the military depot. In the driver's seat was a captain. He smiled broadly at Yu Yingnan and said, "Please follow me. Miss Qiqi is already waiting for you."
Yu Yingnan jumped into the back seat of the off-road vehicle and looked out the window silently. The captain planted a flag on the front of the car, started the engine, and sped off. The wind spread the flag, revealing the eye-catching golden dragon symbol.
This is the military emblem of the main army of the Imperial Army. Vehicles with this flag have second-level military privileges. On the Evernight Continent, second-level privileges mean that they can ignore traffic rules in most cities.
Sure enough, the captain drove the off-road vehicle as if it was flying. He had entered the downtown area, but he still seemed to be charging on the battlefield. Wherever the off-road vehicle passed, there was a lot of chaos, pedestrians were unable to dodge, and there were several collisions caused by trying to avoid vehicles.
But when people look at the off-road vehicle, they are angry but afraid to speak. Even if they are slightly injured, they can only admit that they are unlucky. On the Evernight Continent, the emblem of the expeditionary force with muskets and blood-stained bayonets is already rampant, let alone the main army of the empire.
Yu Yingnan looked out the window and saw the familiar scene, even most of the shops were still the same. She had been to this city a few years ago, when she had just set foot on the Evernight Continent.
This city of Xichang is less than 300 kilometers away from Weiyang, the empire's largest city on the Evernight Continent. It can be reached in a few hours by airship, and it is only a day's journey by long-distance car.
Weiyang City has a cross-domain airship base leading to the empire’s mainland ‘Qin’ continent. In Xichang City, in addition to the military base where Yu Yingnan just arrived, there is also a small airship station, which can also be used for cross-domain airship takeoff and landing. Weiyang was in the hands of the empire, while Xichang and several other similar cities were controlled by upper-class families. The most powerful person here is not the military, but the major families.
In fact, when Qianye came to Yongye Continent, he also landed at the small airship station in Xichang City. As long as it is profitable, these aristocratic families often turn a blind eye to many things. The airship carrying Qianye was clearly used for smuggling, but as long as the entry fee was paid, even the passengers would not be questioned.
There are too many things like this within the sphere of influence of the family. The areas under direct control of the empire are relatively good, and many things require a minimum of decency, but on the territory of aristocratic families, often even the last fig leaf is not needed.
The off-road vehicle went on a rampage and even apparently took a long detour. The captain seemed to enjoy this unscrupulous feeling, so he deliberately wanted to prolong the process. But in the end, the off-road vehicle stopped in front of a grand villa on the outskirts of the city.
The building complex in front of us is lined with high platforms and long corridors and pavilions. It is obviously the private courtyard of a certain family, but the two rows of guards standing inside and outside the gate are actually Imperial Army soldiers, and judging from the uniform badges, they are not expeditionary troops. Sequence, all belong to the main army of the empire.
The captain jumped out of the driver's seat, moved to the back seat, diligently opened the door for Yu Yingnan, and walked her to the front steps. A handsome lieutenant colonel stood there. He greeted her with a smile and said, "Miss Qiqi has been waiting for a long time."
This courtyard adopts the most common courtyard layout in the upper continent, with gate towers, pavilions, flower walls, and moon gates arranged in an orderly manner along the central axis. But perhaps due to the lack of light in the Evernight Continent, there are almost no trees in the landscaping plants, and most of them are bushes. Instead, it creates a unique masculine beauty.
Yu Yingnan followed the lieutenant colonel and soon left the main building on the central axis and entered a turning pavilion and corridor. She knew her destination was just ahead, and her heart couldn't help but tighten slightly. Immediately, the scenery ahead became more twists and turns, deeper, more delicate and beautiful.
She suddenly saw no fewer than ten Imperial Army soldiers standing upright on both sides of a corridor in front of them. They were almost the same height and tall, and all of them were handsome and upright. Although their personal strength did not look very good, in terms of appearance, they were indeed first-rate. Outstanding. This was a typical Qiqi style. Yu Yingnan could not be called angry or funny, but his nervousness was no longer there, and instead he felt a touch of sadness.
The lieutenant colonel who was leading the way suddenly stopped. In front of him was the Moon Gate covered with wisteria flowers. As far as the eye could see, behind the hollow screen wall was a lotus pond that was not much smaller than the lake. On the water, a long bridge could be seen leading to two Water pavilions connected by short corridors.
The lieutenant colonel with a gentle smile refused to take a step forward and only said that Miss Qiqi was inside.
