Chapter 46 The War Begins

The first day at the inner city refining hall.

On this day, Wu Tao and his team did not do any real refining work, but Chen Shan gave professional refining knowledge lectures in the refining room every day, such as the processing of some spiritual materials.

And some precautions.

Chen Shan said that this kind of lecture will last for three days.

Everyone was given a book "Low-level Spiritual Materials Encyclopedia", which recorded many processing methods of low-level spiritual materials.

Wu Tao looked at the compiler and found that it was compiled by Wuquanshan Refining Hall. There were many very clever processing methods that he had never learned.

For example, the method of processing the spider silk, the wild inheritance he learned, is to use the spark stone to refine the knots and disperse the spider silk web, but this method, "Low-level Spiritual Materials Encyclopedia" said that the spider silk processed by this method will lose the characteristics of the spider silk's cotton-tough rebound. After being treated with spark stones, it is necessary to use ice crystals to adjust it to room temperature to cool the spider silk. After cooling, the characteristics are stable, and then the ice crystal effect is strengthened and released to keep the spider silk in a low temperature state, so that the characteristics of the spider silk can be restored.

This is the difference between the orthodox inheritance and the wild inheritance.

This book alone is a precious treasure for casual cultivators.

They all thought they came to the right place.

In the West Outer City, Wanxiu Pavilion on Luoma Street, Zhang Li finally spent a whole morning to get the employment contract from the madam. The contract originally signed that Zhang Li would work in Wanxiu Pavilion for a full year.

But after only half a year, Zhang Li proposed to leave.

Wanxiu Pavilion was not going to lose money, so it refused to let Zhang Li leave, saying that Zhang Li could leave, but she needed to pay a penalty of eighty low-grade spirit stones.

Thinking of Li Mo's reminder, Zhang Li dared not delay. If it were normal, she would have to earn these eighty low-grade spirit stones in several months, and she would be heartbroken.

But now, she just wanted to pay the penalty quickly and leave for the inner city as soon as possible.

The old procuress was also surprised, but she had accepted the spirit stones, so there was nothing she could do.

Zhang Li packed up briefly and hurried out of Wanxiu Pavilion, walked on Luoma Street, and headed for the inner city. She walked to the intersection of Luoma Street. Originally, there were patrols at this intersection. Immortal cultivators set up a checkpoint to check the residence certificates of casual cultivators passing by.

But now, there were no immortal cultivators from the patrol.

Withdrawn?

Zhang Li immediately realized that what Li Mo said was true. Wuquan Mountain and Guidao Sect were really going to go to war. Even the patrols had withdrawn, and they must be preparing to give up Xiwai City.

Looking at the casual cultivators around him, they were all unaware of themselves and still said that they didn't need to check back and forth, and it was really good that there was no trouble, but how could they know that they had been abandoned.

Most of the casual cultivators living in Xiwai City were in the middle and early stages of Qi Refining. For Wuquan Mountain, such casual cultivators were not even qualified to be recruited to the battlefield, so it was better to give up.

'If I hadn't known Li Mo...' Zhang Li didn't dare to think about it, and if she thought about it, she would definitely die.

She couldn't help but feel lucky that she didn't refuse when Li Mo asked her to borrow money.

In fact, Zhang Li didn't refuse Li Mo at that time because Li Mo greeted her kindly when he first met her.

Zhang Li has never received pure kindness in this line of work, and all kindness is for her body.

That day, when she was kicked out of Lichunfang, she was depressed, and Li Mo's kind greeting made her feel better.

After that, Li Mo did not belittle or despise her because she was in this line of work. He treated her as an equal in his tone of voice and behavior.

This touched Zhang Li very much.

"Zhang Li, it's really you~" At this time, an old voice suddenly interrupted Zhang Li's thoughts. Zhang Li stopped and turned to look, only to see an old woman standing on the street.

"Aunt Li, why did you become like this?" Zhang Li was also very surprised to see Aunt Li. Aunt Li's clothes were torn, her hair was disheveled, and there were bruises on her face, as if she had been beaten.

Aunt Li was someone Zhang Li met when she first entered the industry. At that time, Aunt Li was old and no longer did this. It was said that she lived with an older casual cultivator.

Aunt Li used to take good care of Zhang Li.

Therefore, seeing Aunt Li's look, Zhang Li was very surprised: "Aunt Li, what happened?"

Aunt Li did not answer, but asked: "Zhang Li, where are you going? Aren't you in Lichunfang?"

Zhang Li shook her head and said: "I'm not in Lichunfang anymore..."

Aunt Li heard this and said: "Ah, not in Lichunfang, ah, don't do this anymore, it's better not to do it, while you are young, find a good man to live with, don't be like me, when I am old and ugly, find an old casual cultivator, life is difficult, and I will be beaten and scolded..."

"By the way, Zhang Li, do you have a man you like?"

When Zhang Li was asked this, Li Mo's figure came to her mind. Just when she was about to speak, Aunt Li's face changed: "Humph, men are not good things, not good things..."

Shouting at the top of her lungs, Aunt Li turned around and ran away, like crazy.

Zhang Li was shocked by this scene. Aunt Li was crazy. This was the thought that flashed through her mind. But at this time, she couldn't chase Aunt Li. She could only sigh in her heart and turned to walk towards the inner city.

On the third day, the patrol team of the Demon Slayer Hall was completely gone in the West Outer City.

Moreover, all the larger shops were closed.

At this time, the lower-level cultivators realized that they were abandoned.

So, the collapse of order happened in an instant.

The powerful independent cultivators began to form gangs and rob weaker independent cultivators. They robbed resources and beautiful female cultivators. Seeing that no one came out to punish such behavior, Xiwai City was completely in chaos.

In less than two days, the order of Xiwai City collapsed, like hell, and everyone was in danger.

On the eighth day, Wuquan Mountain and Guidao Sect officially fought. In the early stage of the battle, only the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage were the main force, and the foundation-building cultivators plundered the formation, but never took action.

Moreover, these Qi Refining Stage cultivators were all independent cultivators recruited by Wuquan Mountain. When recruiting independent cultivators, they had already begun to recruit independent cultivators of Qi Refining Level 7 and above in the inner city, offering generous conditions and sending them to the battlefield.

On the other hand, the recruitment methods of Guidao Sect were even more cruel. They did not even pay them, and forced the captured independent cultivators to fight. If they did not fight, they would die.

On the ninth day, a demon cultivator descended on the West Outer City, and the magic weapons covered three streets. In an instant, all the scattered cultivators on the three streets were refined into blood pills. If there had not been a green sword light flying from the inner city, scaring away the demon cultivator, it is estimated that the entire West Outer City would have been refined into blood pills by the demon cultivators.

Even though Wu Tao was in the inner city refining hall and rarely went out, the news was still flying everywhere. When chatting with scattered cultivators, he could hear all kinds of news.

One of the three streets that was refined was Xinming Street. When Wu Tao heard this news, his whole face turned blue with fear. If it were not for the reminder of Shopkeeper Yu, he would not have responded to the call.

He was the one who was refined into blood pills.

He died tragically without even seeing the demon cultivator.

This is too horrible.

Wu Tao thanked Shopkeeper Yu again in his heart.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart that the lives of scattered cultivators are really worthless!

"Hey, no matter in the past or present life, as long as you don't have the means of production, you are just consumables in the eyes of those people. Fate... it's already determined from the moment you are reborn..."
