Chapter 41 Level 1 Summoning Order
Chapter 41 Level 1 Summoning Order
Since everyone was busy, Wang Yan ignored the others and carefully dug out the first-tier Heart-Connecting Grass, including its remaining aerial roots.
Cut off another half of the lateral root and gently rebury it in the soil. Use the character "生" (life) to infuse some of its life force into the soil, ensuring that it can continue to survive and be used again in the future.
Then, Wang Yan carefully packed the heart-clearing grass into a prepared first-tier "fresh" wooden box and put it into his storage bracelet.
This was his own reward. Ten Tier 1 Heart-Connecting Grasses could be exchanged for one low-grade spirit crystal.
Although he doesn't lack spirit crystals now, since he's already out here, he can't leave empty-handed. Even a small gain is still a gain, right?
Just then, Wang Yan suddenly heard rapid beeping sounds from all around him.
Wang Yan reflexively turned around and saw that both of Lu Hongming's and Qiao Bentu's identity plaques were shining with a dazzling red light.
On the contrary, their identity badges for the level two spirit sprouts did not react.
Lu Hongming paused, frowning in confusion: "Red?"
Qiao Bendu's smile vanished, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "A Level One Summoning Order?"
Immediately afterwards, several hundred meters away, Jiang Linyue and Di Nan swiftly leaped out from the bushes as tall as a person, their faces full of astonishment: "Senior brother, quick, check the message platform."
Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately rushed back to their side.
"Something big must have happened!" Lu Hongming's face quickly darkened. He flipped his wrist, revealing a spiral-shaped metal object. He channeled his Xuan Qi into it, and a small divine character reappeared between his brows.
Wang Yan could see clearly that it was "activating the sect's information platform".
"Buzz!" The spiral-shaped base quickly extended outward to form a flat base, and then released a square pillar of Xuan Qi light.
The ordinary text above is all in glaring red letters, which is chilling:
"The experimental missions at Fire Refining Peak, Pill Cauldron Peak, and Benevolent Healer Peak are hereby terminated. All disciples at the Profound Breakthrough Realm are to return to their peaks immediately to await orders. Those who receive this message, please register and reply."
Wang Yan's eyes darkened.
"Wow, I thought that sending out Xuanpo Realm disciples for experimental missions meant the sect's troubles outside wouldn't be too great. I didn't expect them to recall people in less than half a day! It's definitely a storm brewing!"
Lu Hongming, Qiao Bendu, and Jiang Linyue then took off their identity badges from their waists and approached the square pillar of Xuan Qi light.
"Disciple Lu Hongming received this message and will return in one hour."
"Disciple Qiao Bendu received this message and will return in one hour."
"Disciple Jiang Linyue received this message and will return in one hour."
……
On the second floor of the Divine Hall, in a control room.
Sitting in his chair, Master Qin stared at the stack of paper scraps before him, his face dark with rage. He gritted his teeth and said, "He has a six-petaled Flower of Literary Heart, yet instead of focusing on accelerating divine runes, combat divine runes, and conserving divine runes, he's thinking of this kind of quick-drying, pulp-based divine rune?"
Deng Jianghui, looking ashamed, bowed to the dark-faced Master Qin: "This disciple only just learned of this from Peak Master Du. I, Xiao Wang, started thinking of an improved plan on my very first day being assigned to make the paper, and succeeded in just two quarters of an hour! I guess..."
After a pause, Deng Jianghui remarked with deep feeling, "You can't stand it, can you?"
"You can't stand it?" Master Qin was taken aback.
Deng Jianghui looked embarrassed: "Sometimes, when I see repetitive words that I don't like, I also feel uncomfortable and want to change them. You, sir, sometimes when you see other disciples fighting, don't you also feel uncomfortable and think it's too low-class?"
"Hmph!" Master Qin's handsome face changed twice, then he snorted again: "You are the sect's chief divine script master, so of course you can change it. How old is he? He's simply audacious!"
is it?
Are you so angry because he succeeds most of the time when combining new divine runes, while you always fail, and that's why you're jealous?
What angers you even more is that he didn't improve those divine texts that would help with cultivation and combat, but instead focused his efforts on this half-finished product, wasting his talent, right?
Deng Jianghui found the hint of envy in Qin Shizu's eyes amusing, but he still smiled and explained.
"Talented people are bound to be bolder! If you, Grandmaster, hadn't been bold back then, you wouldn't have been able to cultivate to the Transformation Realm!"
After a pause, seeing that Master Qin remained silent, Deng Jianghui earnestly said, "Master, metal refining materials are in short supply right now, and the Condensation Realm disciples on Flying Eagle Mountain are severely injured, so we can only rely on a few dozen Profound Breakthrough Realm disciples to fight. Therefore, we need to adjust the materials used to supply our materials."
"Baicao Peak has already guaranteed to double the supply of pulp. Why don't we vigorously promote the divine script that Wang Yan has come up with, so as to increase the number of blank talisman papers and improve the success rate of Huolian Peak in creating talismans?"
"This matter concerns the battle situation at Flying Eagle Mountain and the development of my Cloud Cauldron Sect. As for Grandmaster Yang, I will go and reason with him. I believe he will understand."
Master Qin slammed his fist on the table in annoyance: "What's there to talk about? Just tell Peak Master Du that I agree to replace all the paper-forming runes in the paper-drying yard with Wang Yan's, and also send a few first-level spirit sprouts that know the character 'skill' to supplement the paper-cutting!"
"Wang Yan went to Mangshe Mountain today, right? He should come back with Lin Yue. When he returns, have him come and report it as soon as possible."
……
On the way back, Lu Hongming and Qiao Bendu both kept looking in the direction of the sect, their brows furrowed and their faces solemn.
Seeing Jiang Linyue biting her red lips, wanting to speak but feeling uneasy due to the oppressive atmosphere inside the airship, Wang Yan suddenly reached out and gently patted her slender shoulder: "Don't be so nervous."
"This is the first time I've received a Level One summons." Jiang Linyue frowned in distress. "I heard from my master that the last time the sect issued a Level One summons was over four hundred years ago!"
Wang Yan looked at her in astonishment: "More than four hundred years ago?"
Lu Hongming suddenly spoke with a worried expression, his voice very low: "I only heard it from the Grand Elder by chance. More than four hundred years ago, our sect fought fiercely with the Jiangyin Sect, which was also a second-class sect. Half of the Solidifying Yuan Realm cultivators were injured, and a third of the Condensing Yuan Realm cultivators were injured. Our mountain gate was even broken."
"It was the top-tier Biqing Sect that sent people to mediate, and both sides stopped fighting, but their strength was greatly reduced. Later, every few decades, when the sect faced a crisis, it could issue a level two summoning order, which only summoned disciples at the Condensation Realm. But a level one summoning order has never appeared since."
Wang Yan stared in utter astonishment, his eyes wide: "The Grandmasters at the Solidifying Origin Realm are all injured?"
This was the first time he had ever heard of such a sect's secret history.
Cultivators at the Solidifying Origin Realm are the elders and protectors of each peak, and their combat strength is considered the backbone of the sect.
Condensation Realm experts are also the backbone of the sect's reserve force.
Even in the history of previous dynasties, it seems that there has never been a case where half of the generals were killed in a single battle.
Even during the Three Kingdoms period, there was never such a concentrated death of top generals in a single, prolonged battle!
