Chapter 718 – The Gray River Basin

Chapter 718 – The Gray River
When he thought of the black flame that had ostentatiously turned his own flying sword into iron water, the one-armed male cultivator had some hard feelings.

He admitted that his own practice of robbing the military is a bit unkind, but on the battlefield, you fight for me is a common thing.

It was just that the other party had destroyed his own flying sword, which was a bit too much.

He suppressed his heart’s disquiet and cupped his fists in a salute towards Xu Chuniang.

“This fairy, just now I heard Brother Lanhe say that you are surnamed Xu right, dare I ask Fairy Xu, just now that black flame of yours, what exactly is it?”

This question from the one-armed male cultivator immediately aroused the curiosity of several other people.

They were also curious to know what exactly was so odd about that black flame that it could burn a Void Refining Stage powerhouse alive.

Xu Chuniang smiled faintly and asked without answering.

“I sensed that the small black dots on the military orders have disappeared two more times, only the last two are left, are you sure, do you still want to continue gossiping?”

Blue River coughed dryly, “Just now, I received a transmission from the group leader, the Orcs are coming in strong, he told us to withdraw first, go back to our base in the upper reaches of the Gray River first.”

This summons was received by Blue River as early as when the female Orcs fled.

It was just that he was quite interested in both the bones of the half-orc at the Void Refining stage and the Black Flame that Xu Chuniang had mastered, which was why he had delayed until here.

There were no words on the way back, and the group of five returned smoothly to the Black Tiger Army base at the upper reaches of the Gray River.

“It’s relatively safe here, but occasionally we’ll encounter Orc raids, and the Orcs we kill can be exchanged for military merits here.

There are many uses for military merits, besides being able to reduce the time spent in service, they can also be exchanged for spirit crystals and spirit items, but accordingly, the higher the grade of the spirit item you want to exchange, the more military merits you will need.”

Lan He briefly introduced the distribution of the base area and the usefulness of military labor to Xu Chuniang’s trio, and then led them to Group Six’s quarters.

“This one is our Group Six’s territory, some of the cultivators in the other groups have very bad tempers, so without any special reasons, it’s best if you don’t set foot within the boundaries of the other groups.”

Blue River cautioned with a serious expression, “If you get into trouble because of this, you will be responsible for the consequences.”

Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the territory occupied by the Sixth Group of the Black Tiger Army, which was only a ten-mile radius.

At the very center, there was a tall black tent, which should be the residence of the group leader.

Surrounding the black tent were nine slightly smaller gray tents, which looked to be their residences in the Black Tiger Army.

As expected, she was right, and in the next moment, she saw Blue River pointing to several empty tents.

“These tents are all unoccupied, so you guys can just pick any one that looks good to you.”

Guo Xuelian looked over towards the empty tents pointed out by Blue River, and without thinking, she chose a tent at the very back.

“Since they’re all uninhabited, I’ll pick here.”

Just now, Big Brother Blue River said that although the base area was relatively safe, from time to time, they would also encounter Orc attacks, so choosing a location near the back would undoubtedly be safer.

Tang Yue’s eyes swept over the remaining few tents, but he didn’t say a word, seemingly intending to let Xu Chuniang choose first.

Xu Chuniang swept a glance and casually pointed to a spot, “Let’s go here.”

Seeing her choose, Tang Yue then chose the closest tent to her.

Seeing that the three of them had all chosen their tents, Lan He nodded slightly and explained.

“Alright, there shouldn’t be much going on for the next day or two, so you guys can take a little rest and wait for the group leader to come back for everything.

Remember, you are not allowed to leave the base area privately, otherwise you will face extremely severe punishment.”

Hearing that even the base area was not to be left easily, Xu Chuniang frowned darkly, once again realizing how worthless a Harmonized God cultivator was in front of a true powerhouse. Pieces were not qualified to sway their own destiny, and the only way to seize the initiative was to step outside the chessboard.

Seeing that the Blue River that should be accounted for was finished, the one-armed male cultivator who had followed all the way, finally couldn’t help but open his mouth.

“Immortal Xu, now you can tell me what exactly is the divine ability of the black flame you utilized just now, right? There’s also that huge axe of the bull-headed Orc, how did such a large gaping hole appear out of good reason.”

“Hmph, that’s your Hao Hao Grand Master my Ashes Burning Black Flame, how, you kid also want to taste the taste of my black flame, to your flying sword that turned into iron water to accompany the funeral not?”

Xu Chuniang quickly held down the leaping Soul Suppressing Pot and looked towards the one-armed male cultivator.

“When you dodged the giant axe just now, did you sacrifice an umbrella-shaped magic weapon?”

The one-armed male cultivator nodded somewhat hesitantly, “Yes.”

“I’m somewhat interested in that umbrella-shaped treasure weapon of yours, why don’t you take this out and allow me to take a look.”

The one-armed male cultivator’s face was a bit ugly, “Immortal Xu, that’s my life-preserving item, how can I take it out and allow you to look at it at will?”

“So that’s how it is, truth be told, that black flame is also my life-preserving item, it’s not enough to tell outsiders about it.”

Xu Chuniang’s tone was light, kicking the question back with a four-two punch, treating her in her own way.

The one-armed male cultivator’s face was a shade of green and white, wanting to lash out, but fearing her strength, he dared not speak in anger.

Seeing this, Lan He realized that Xu Chuniang had no intention of explaining that black flame.

Come to think of it, who would be stupid enough to actively reveal their means to others?

He coughed lightly and spoke at the right time, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to my tent to rest first, remember what I said and don’t wander off.”

After Lan He left, Tang Yue was mindful of the injuries on his body and hurriedly left.

Seeing this, the one-armed male cultivator could only find a random reason and slink away.

The only ones left in place were Xu Chuniang and Guo Xuelian.

Guo Xuelian didn’t rush back to her tent as she looked towards Xu Chuniang with an expression of admiration.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, you’re too powerful, right, even the Void Refinement Stage bull-headed Orc isn’t a match for you, are you really a cultivator who ascended up from the lower realms?”

Xu Chuniang couldn’t tell what she felt in her heart, listening to Guo Xuelian’s tone, it seemed as if cultivators who ascended from the lower realms should be inferior.

She faintly said, “Being able to kill the bull-headed Orc was just a fluke, and I was surprised.”

“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xu is too modest, with your strength, in a month or two at most, you’ll be able to save up enough military merit to break away from the Black Tiger Army.”

With only twelve points of military merit, a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator could be exempted from military service for a year.

Xu Chuniang would only have a total of eighteen years of military service to serve in the Black Tiger Army, so counting on that, earning enough military merit for two hundred and sixteen points would be enough.

“Borrow your good advice.”

Seeing Xu Chuniang still looking like she was not very talkative, Guo Xuelian secretly frowned, and instead of looking around, she directly asked the doubts in her heart.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, I’m curious, did you really ascend from a Small Thousand World? The rules in the Small Thousand Worlds are incomplete, so by all rights, one shouldn’t be able to cultivate to the late Harmonized God stage.”

Meeting Guo Xuelian’s probing eyes, Xu Chunniang’s heart was clear.

It seemed that this was the question she really wanted to ask.
