44: Qianmenguan

The elder leading them was named Han Daoxu, and he was the Cultivator leading the team this time, hailing from North Wind Valley.

Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Cloud-Soaring Pavilion on this trip, there were two: one named Yue Lin, who had a square face and was quite serious, and the other named Huang Ruoxuan, who appeared to be in her thirties, had a very gentle temperament, seemed to come from a prominent Family, was dignified and steady, and was very kind to Lin Feng and the others.

There were many Disciples going on this trip, a full thousand of them.

Lin Feng was assigned to the team led by Huang Ruoxuan, a total of about a hundred people, all of whom had to obey Huang Ruoxuan's orders.

Han Daoxu briefly explained the matters to pay attention to during this journey and the allocation of their Qi Refining personnel.

Ten Foundation Establishment cultivators each released their flying boat, and the accompanying personnel boarded the flying boat according to their affiliation, flying towards Spirit Flame Mountain.

Liuyun Market was not far from Spirit Flame Mountain, only about seven or eight hundred li.

Passing by the border of the Qingyun Mountain Range, Lin Feng and the others did not encounter any dangers along the way, except for a few ignorant flying Yao Beasts that harassed them and were jointly killed by several Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lin Feng and the others then arrived at Spirit Flame Mountain.

Spirit Flame Mountain was jointly built by the Bailing Sect and Liuyan Valley.

The Four Great Sects of Great Xin also provided a lot of assistance.

The mountain gate here was formed by two adjacent giant peaks, with the Bailing Sect and Liuyan Valley each occupying one peak and jointly managing it.

A hundred li away from this place was the defense line of the Four Great Sects and the two great Sects of Wei Country.

Lin Feng and the others were going to the front line to provide support on this trip.

Lin Feng followed Huang Ruoxuan and disembarked from the flying boat in front of the two great mountain gates.

Huang Ruoxuan then led her team to negotiate with the Cultivators receiving them at Spirit Flame Mountain regarding the support.

Lin Feng and the other accompanying Disciples could only follow behind and listen.

Lin Feng always followed not far behind Huang Ruoxuan.

He was very concerned about what they would need to do later and the tasks for this trip.

The handover took one or two hours, and Lin Feng listened attentively the whole time.

Lin Feng roughly understood that their purpose for this trip was to be stationed at Qianmen Pass on the front line.

Both sides of this place were continuous mountains, where miasma permeated and various venomous insects and Yao Beasts ran rampant.

Therefore, the Evil Cultivators of Wei Country could only attack from the junction of the two great mountains.

The area where they met was four hundred li wide and free of miasma.

Therefore, the six great Sects established a four hundred li city wall defense line here.

The six great Sects set up a large camp in the rear, and every five li, a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be stationed with Qi Refining Cultivators, with rotations every three months.

Furthermore, a rescue team was established in the rear camp.

The scale of the rescue team was no less powerful than the Cultivator teams on duty, consisting of over eighty Foundation Establishment cultivators and several thousand Qi Refining Cultivators.

The rear camp even had six Golden Core Ancestors personally overseeing it.

Coupled with the continuous support from the rear, this was the reason why they had always resisted the Evil Path of Wei Country and stood firm.

This defense line, due to having defending Cultivators every certain distance, had many city gates and was called Qianmen Pass.

After the handover was completed, Lin Feng and the others followed Huang Ruoxuan to the main camp.

Lin Feng and his group followed Huang Ruoxuan to the main camp.

They were informed that they only had three days to familiarize themselves with the place.

Huang Ruoxuan told Lin Feng and the others that they could familiarize themselves with the area first, and if they needed anything, they could come to her residence to find her.

Only then did Lin Feng and his group disperse.

Lin Feng came here intending to first familiarize himself with the environment, so he wandered around.

Here, he discovered a place where Cultivators gathered.

Many Cultivators were setting up stalls here.

Lin Feng looked around and found that the prices of items here were lower than in Liuyun Market, and the Cultivators here were also much wealthier than those in Liuyun Market.

The items displayed at the stalls were also diverse; many were spoils of war obtained during conflicts with Cultivators.

Lin Feng even saw the Pill Formulas he had been yearning for: the Pill Formula for Qi Gathering Pill and the Pill Formula for Qi Condensation Pill.

However, these two Pill Formulas were priced at tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, and Lin Feng had no Spirit Stones to buy them, so he could only look on enviously.

Not only were there Pill Formulas here, but also many other good things, such as Legacy Cultivation Techniques of some Cultivation Families, various secret arts, Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, as well as various Spirit Pills and some Spirit Beasts and Yao Beast pets.

After wandering around here for half a day, Lin Feng spent another half a day strolling through various parts of the main camp.

Except for some restricted areas, Lin Feng spent a full day touring the main camp headquarters, gaining a clear understanding of the functions of each area established here, and also inquiring about some recent movements of the Evil Path of Wei Country.

Recently, the Evil Path's probing attacks had become increasingly frequent, which made Lin Feng vigilant.

It seemed that after Lin Feng participated in the garrison duty, he would inevitably have frequent clashes with the Evil Path.

After touring the main camp, Lin Feng did not go out again, but instead began to Cultivate by taking Spirit Pills.

Currently, Lin Feng still had four lotus seeds in his hand, and the lotus flower of the blood heart lotus had already been consumed, leaving only some lotus roots.

Lin Feng estimated that if he were to go into secluded Cultivation as before, he could use them for a year.

However, upon arriving here, Lin Feng chose not to consume the blood heart lotus anymore, because he had to be stationed here and could not devote all his energy to Cultivation.

Consuming them would be a bit of a waste of the medicinal power of these Spirit Medicine.

Therefore, Lin Feng always used Qi Condensation Pills to substitute for Cultivation.

Before coming here, Lin Feng had brought many talismans.

Thinking that he would be ascending Qianmen Pass in two days, Lin Feng felt that the talismans he had prepared were still somewhat insufficient, so after a day of Cultivation, he began to make Spirit Talismans.

Soon, three days passed.

Huang Ruoxuan summoned all the Cultivators under her command to go to Qianmen Pass.

Lin Feng followed Huang Ruoxuan to Qianmen Pass.

Qianmen Pass was built majestically, with city walls ten zhang high, and the city walls were also very wide, twenty zhang wide.

The top of the city wall was very spacious, like a plaza.

At the boundary of the city wall, some defensive facilities were set up, and there were also resting areas on the city wall.

The Cultivators on duty would rotate and rest here, living here throughout their duty period and not allowed to leave without permission.

The defense distance for the team led by Huang Ruoxuan was five li.

Considering the rotation, only fifty people could be stationed during each shift, so each Qi Refining Cultivator was responsible for a fifty-meter range.

For a Qi Refining Cultivator, a fifty-meter distance was fine.

A Qi Refining Cultivator could cast a Swift Steps Technique or Light Body Technique on himself, and could arrive at any time if Cultivators ascended the city.

Additionally, there were other facilities set up here.

If a large number of Evil Cultivators attacked, not only could the off-duty personnel provide support at any time, but they could also notify the Cultivators in the rear camp, and Foundation Establishment cultivators would naturally come to support.

If Golden Core powerhouses attacked, Golden Core Ancestors would naturally step forward to confront them.

Huang Ruoxuan led her group onto the city wall, and after a handover with a middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator with a full beard, Lin Feng was assigned a one-day mission.

Lin Feng stood on the city wall and gazed into the distance, seeing that the Evil Cultivator's camp was only about a hundred li away.

Their movements were all within Lin Feng's sight, but the Evil Path did not care if the Cultivators stationed on the city wall discovered them, busy with their own affairs.
