The one-armed male cultivator felt a little upset when he thought of the black flame turning his natal flying sword into molten iron in a blatant manner.
He admitted that his act of snatching military merit was a bit unfair, but on the battlefield, fighting for merit was a common thing.
But it was a bit too much for the other party to destroy his natal flying sword.
He suppressed his suspicion and saluted Xu Chunniang with his fists clasped.
"Fairy, I just heard from Brother Lan He that your last name is Xu, right? May I ask Fairy Xu, what exactly was that black flame of yours?"
The question from the one-armed male cultivator immediately aroused the curiosity of the others.
They also wanted to know what was so strange about the black flame that it could burn a powerful cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage to death.
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly and asked instead of answering.
"I sensed that two more black dots on the military order have disappeared. Only the last two are left. Are you sure you want to continue chatting?"
Lan He coughed dryly, "I just received a message from the team leader. The orcs are coming aggressively. He asked us to retreat first and return to the base upstream of the Gray River."
Lan He had received this message as early as when the female orc escaped.
It's just that he was quite interested in the corpse of the half-orc in the Nascent Soul stage and the black flame controlled by Xu Chunniang, which delayed him until here.
There was no conversation on the way back, and the group of five successfully returned to the Black Tiger Army base upstream of the Gray River.
“It’s relatively safe here, but we’ll occasionally encounter raids by orcs. Killing orcs can also be exchanged for military merits here.
Military merit has many uses. In addition to shortening your military service time, it can also be exchanged for spiritual crystals and spiritual objects. However, the higher the level of the spiritual object you want to exchange, the more military merit you will need."
Lan He briefly introduced the distribution of the base and the uses of military industry to Xu Chunniang and the other two, and then led them to the base of Group 6.
"This is the territory of our group six. Some monks in other groups have bad tempers. Without special reasons, you'd better not step into the territory of other groups."
Lan He warned seriously, "If you get into trouble because of this, you will bear the consequences yourself."
Xu Chunniang took a quick look and found that the territory occupied by the Sixth Group of the Black Tiger Army was only ten miles in radius.
In the very center, there is a tall black tent, which should be the team leader’s residence.
The black tent was surrounded by nine smaller grey tents, which seemed to be their residences in the Black Tiger Army.
Sure enough, her guess was correct. The next moment, she saw Lan He pointing to several empty tents.
"These tents are uninhabited. You can pick any one that you like."
Guo Xuelian looked towards the empty tent that Lan He pointed to, and without hesitation chose the tent at the back.
"Since they are all uninhabited, I'll choose this place."
Just now, Big Brother Lanhe said that although the base is relatively safe, it will be attacked by orcs from time to time. It is undoubtedly safer to choose a position further back.
Tang Yue glanced at the remaining tents but said nothing, as if he intended to let Xu Chunniang choose first.
Xu Chunniang took a quick look and pointed at a place casually, "Here it is."
Seeing that she had made her choice, Tang Yue chose the tent closest to her.
Seeing that the three of them had chosen their tents, Lan He nodded slightly and gave instructions.
"Okay, there shouldn't be anything to do in the next one or two days. You can take a break and wait for the team leader to come back.
Remember, you are not allowed to leave the base without permission, otherwise you will face extremely severe punishment."
Hearing that they were not allowed to leave the base easily, Xu Chunniang frowned secretly, and once again realized how insignificant the Divine Transformation cultivators were in front of the real powerful ones.
Chess pieces have no right to control their own destiny. Only by jumping out of the chessboard can they take the initiative.
Seeing that Lan He had explained everything he needed to, the one-armed male cultivator who had followed him all the way finally couldn't help but speak.
"Xu Xianzi, now you can tell me what kind of magical power the black flame you used just now is. And how come there is such a big gap on the giant axe of the Minotaur out of nowhere?"
"Humph, that's my Black Flame of Incineration. So, you want to have a taste of my Black Flame too, and be buried with your flying sword that has turned into molten iron?"
Xu Chunniang quickly pressed down the soul-calming pot that was eager to try, and looked at the one-armed male cultivator.
"When you were dodging the giant axe just now, did you use an umbrella-shaped magic weapon?"
The one-armed male cultivator nodded hesitantly, "Yes."
"I am somewhat interested in your umbrella-shaped treasure. Why don't you take it out and let me take a look at it."
The one-armed male cultivator looked a little unhappy, "Xu Xianzi, that is my life-saving item, how can I take it out and let you look at it at will?"
"I see. To be honest, the black flame is also my life-saving item. I cannot tell others about it."
Xu Chunniang spoke in a nonchalant tone, and kicked the question back with a light touch, giving the other person a taste of his own medicine.
The one-armed male cultivator's face turned pale and blue. He wanted to get angry, but he was afraid of her strength and dared not say anything.
Seeing this, Lan He knew that Xu Chunniang had no intention of explaining the meaning of the black flame.
Come to think of it, who would be stupid enough to reveal their methods to others
He coughed lightly and said at the right time, "Nothing, I will go back to the tent to rest first. Remember what I said and don't wander around."
After Lan He left, Tang Yue, worried about his injuries, left in a hurry.
Seeing this, the one-armed male cultivator had to find an excuse and left in despair.
The only ones left were Xu Chunniang and Guo Xuelian.
Guo Xuelian did not rush back to the tent. She looked at Xu Chunniang with an expression of admiration.
"Friend Xu, you are too powerful. Even the Minotaur Orcs in the Void Refining Stage are no match for you. Are you really a cultivator who ascended from the lower realms?"
Xu Chunniang couldn't tell how she felt. From Guo Xuelian's tone, it seemed that cultivators who ascended from the lower realms should be inferior to others.
She said calmly, "It was just luck that I was able to kill the Minotaur Orc. I was also surprised."
"Haha, Brother Xu is too modest. With your strength, you can accumulate enough military merits and leave the Black Tiger Army in one or two months at most."
With just twelve points of military merit, a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage could be exempted from one year of military service.
Xu Chunniang only has to serve in the Black Tiger Army for a total of eighteen years. In total, it will be enough for her to earn 216 military merit points.
"I'll lend you my good words."
Seeing that Xu Chunniang still looked unhappy, Guo Xuelian frowned secretly and asked directly about her doubts without beating around the bush.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm very curious, did you really ascend from the Small Thousand Worlds? The Small Thousand Worlds don't have complete rules, so it stands to reason that you shouldn't be able to cultivate to the late stage of Spiritualization."
Meeting Guo Xuelian's inquiring eyes, Xu Chunniang understood.
It seems that this is the question she really wants to ask.
