Destiny is ashes

Chapter 420 Inner City Base (13)

An Jing didn't know that he was not only favored by the third middle school, but also by the "defeated opponent" of the first middle school.

But it doesn't matter. Even if An Jing knew about it, he would just smile - those who are not remembered by others are mediocre. As long as you show your specialness, you will definitely be taken care of by all parties.

And all these cares and concerns have no impact on the current peace.

Because he and Huo Qing both moved into Nian Quan's large flat, they could enjoy ice cream, drinks, and big meals every day, and use the professional-level foundation-building spirit-gathering array, which was extremely enjoyable.

At this point, An Jing has three strongholds in Xuanye City.

The first one is the warehouse in Chonggang Town, which is located on the edge of the safety zone. It has been blocked now and it will take at least another ten or twenty days to gradually open.

The second one is the Tie Shou recycling hut located on the outskirts of Xuan Ye City. Because Tie Shou has left again to report intelligence to the secret base of the Guiyi Army, it is now operated by Huo Qing and Sister Xiu Yu.

And now the third one is Nianquan’s mansion in the inner city.

Although Nianquan's house is monitored by the Third Middle School, it is mainly used to ensure Nianquan's safety. As long as proper avoidance is taken inside the house, the confidentiality is better than the previous two. There will also be no accidents such as surprise inspections and attacks by monsters, so the security is the best.

Opening the window, An Jing looked out.

The gloomy sky was completely illuminated by the bright neon lights of the inner city, reflecting a colorful wonderland of rays of light, while the artificial light sources on the ground were peaceful and comfortable, and the air quality was so good that there was no suspended particles at all, and you could see the end of the community at a glance.

There is enough space between the buildings. The streets are new, clean and spacious. Silver spiritual patterns flow on the branches and leaves of the rows of straight and upright landscape trees on the roadside, forming a large formation that is refreshing at first glance.

The means of transportation back and forth are not motorcycles or cars, but silent shuttles and personal magical vehicles. High-end private flying motorcycles like Teng Shuangbai are considered to be the noisiest among them, but even so, the flying motorcycles in the inner city are equipped with silent magic arrays.

The entire living area is no different from a library. The overall atmosphere is melodious and quiet, allowing people to concentrate on practicing at any time.

The air was fresh, without any trace of acid rain. A translucent shield covered the entire residential area, and many children were playing on the large lawn on the side.

At first glance, An Jing was in a trance for a moment, as if he was not in the Tianyuan Realm which was almost a wasteland after the catastrophe, but in his hometown on Earth, the Great Harmony Society of his previous life.

- Is this really the same world as the downtown area and the safe zone, which are full of unfinished buildings, gang fights, corrosive acid water and pollution?

An Jing couldn't help thinking about this question, but he soon laughed sarcastically: "Isn't this the same as Huai Xu? The master of Shenjing is enjoying peace and prosperity, but the young master even thinks that the rice with fertilizer is dirty, and he doesn't care that the people in the northern border are almost starving to death."

"Damn it, when my mother and I were struggling in the frost disaster for the first few months, we dreamed of eating white rice!"

The reason why it was a few months ago was because An Jing couldn't even dream about what rice tasted like. At that time, being able to eat tree bark and rice bran was already considered good... and rice, the whole person would become the rice meat of others!

"The world is different, but the people are the same, and the 'superior people' who don't care about other people's affairs are also the same..."

After closing the window, An Jing's heart became more determined: "The imperial court of Dachen, the group of Tianyuan, their swords determine their 'law'... If I want to fight against them, I must use my own sword to establish my own law."

"I have a sword. I must have power, I have no doubt about this - the only thing I need to think about is my method." How can I accumulate my own strength, how can I prevent the people on my side from becoming like Dachen and the group?
An Jing already has an idea for the first question. He can completely use the technological gap between the two worlds to develop his own base between the two worlds. The second question may need to be considered in the middle and late stages. Now his organizational structure is small and efficient, and it is far from the time to be wary of such problems.

But as a leader, An Jing must examine these possibilities for the future.

Just as An Jing was thinking, there was a lot of noisy conversation in the hall, with voices expressing surprise.

Listening carefully, it was the sound of Huo Qing and Nian Quan discussing the formation.

"Ah, I didn't expect there would be such a big gap between me and a professional-level spirit gathering array."

As a professional formation master, Huo Qing had set his sights on the spirit gathering formation at Nian Quan's house from the very beginning. After getting permission, he immediately ran to observe it carefully and analyzed it obsessively.

The result of the analysis made Huo Qing sigh: "I thought that if the spirit gathering array that An Jing gave me could be stacked to the ninth level, it should be able to reach the realm of foundation building. Now it seems that it is still far away."

Huo Qing's sigh was heard by Nian Quan, who couldn't help but curiously hope that Huo Qing could demonstrate it. After Huo Qing used simple spiritual materials to set up a double-layer inlaid spirit gathering array, Nian Quan, an excellent student who graduated from a professional school, was immediately shocked.

"This magic circle...both the design concept and the construction method are brand new!"

In fact, his injuries were not healed enough for him to get out of bed. Nianquan leaned over with a cane, watching Huo Qing's double magic circle in astonishment: "Oh my God, this is a formation within a formation, a Feng Shui within a Feng Shui bureau!"

"So that's how it is. The core concept is [Yang in Yin, Yin in Yang]? Although I don't know much about formations, Huo Qing, the design of this formation is very clever. Its strength lies not in its efficiency, but in its ingenuity!"

"To put it simply, its greatest function is actually to make fine adjustments and modifications in giant strategic formations similar to town defense formations, as well as natural feng shui formations, playing a role similar to the effect of moving a thousand pounds with one or two ounces!"

“To be sure!”

Huo Qing's talent in formations was indeed extraordinary. He had not thought of it before, simply because he had stayed in a small place for too long in the past and did not have a broad vision. Now that Nian Quan had pointed it out, he suddenly understood: "Ah, I understand. The creator of the 'Taiming Sutra' actually did not intend to teach people how to draw large formations from beginning to end."

"He assumed that we learners have already mastered formations and various commonly used large-scale formations, so he taught us advanced content..."

"No wonder, no wonder, I have to keep working hard!"

Huo Qing and Nian Quan, two Tianyuan Realm cultivators, were chatting enthusiastically about this kind of knowledge, which made An Jing, who only knew how to kill people and practice cultivation, feel quite uncomfortable - he really didn't understand formations, talismans, and refining, and he could only say that he knew a little about medicinal materials in the art of alchemy, so he couldn't even get into these topics at all!

"I feel that it makes sense for the Tianyuan Realm to roughly divide the cultivation skills into 'alchemy formations, talismans, and weapons'. These five skills can all serve as the cultivator's specialty. If you practice more, you can apply what you have learned to other areas and improve your understanding of the great Dao."

An Jing looked at Nianquan and Huo Qing, whose eyes were already shining and communicating through the chip spiritual network, and felt that he was a bit redundant: "I really have to choose a practice - just fighting and killing is not enough, I must master a skill that is related to people's livelihood construction and production assistance, so that I can have a deeper understanding of the operation of the world."

"I will teach you how to refine weapons." Fu Xie Sword Spirit said, "But I think the reason you are redundant is not because you can't get a word in, but because you don't have a local chip - this thing is indeed useful, and the more cities use it, the more it is used."

"You plan to be deeply involved in the affairs of the Tianyuan Realm in the future, so a good chip is a must... It's time to prepare to buy one."
