Chapter 298 The monster retreats Obviously.
The base of monks in Yuyao City is very large, even though Lin Tianming's name has been spread for a long time.
However, there are still some ascetics from around Longshanfang City who have never seen him.
There were many monks gathered here, and there were also many people who didn't know Lin Tianming. When they heard what was being said about him, they gathered quickly.
……
A cup of tea is not enough.
There were thousands of monks gathered in the square, but most of them were Qi Refining monks.
At this time, it was noon. The Qi Refining Monk and the Foundation Establishing Monk each occupied a piece of territory and gathered together in twos and threes, chatting with each other.
Among the crowd, a monk who traveled to Qianchuanfang City all year round heard the discussion in the crowd and also spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Li is right. Fellow Taoist Lin Tianming, who is currently ranked No. 13, comes from the Lin family of Luoyun Mountain."
As soon as these words came out, it completely opened up the topic of many monks. Some people who were not familiar with Lin Tianming quickly started asking questions.
"The Lin family? Which Lin family?"
"Yes... there are quite a few Lin family members in the world of immortal cultivation in Wei..."
Seeing this, the monk who spoke was filled with excitement and immediately began to tell about Lin Tianming and the Lin family's situation.
"Hehe... The Lin family in the Luoyun Mountains is the family that once produced Jindan Zhenren."
"You have also seen the strength of fellow Taoist Lin Tianming. He has already broken through the sixth level of foundation building at the age of forty. His strength is still so terrifying, and his talent is simply terrifying!"
"If you ask me, among the family monks and casual cultivators, he is one of the most powerful contenders for the spot in the Tianfeng Secret Realm."
Hearing this, many uninformed people were surprised.
At this time, they looked at the names and rankings on the monster hunting list, and suddenly showed envious expressions.
Some of the foundation-building monks with lower cultivation levels also paid a few compliments, and some even got close to them for no reason, as if they were very familiar with the Lin family.
In the crowd, Lin Tianming listened quietly and did not try to debunk the rumors and rumors.
It can be regarded as adding a touch of fun to the boring waiting.
……
Little half an hour passed.
As several disciples of the True Yang Sect walked out of the True Yang Palace, the noisy atmosphere was broken.
Seeing this, it was obvious that the results of the previous battle had been released, and these people also came to update the points data on the monster hunting list.
All the monks stopped communicating one after another and stared at the demon hunting list in front of them with expectant expressions.
At this time, Lin Tianming also cheered up and showed an impatient expression for the next demon hunting list.
The purpose of his coming here is clear, it is nothing more than to see how far his points ranking is compared with his potential competitors.
Knowing these as soon as possible is very necessary and important for those who have clear goals.
After all, the monster's situation has taken a turn for the worse, and it may not be able to hold on for too long.
Therefore, knowing the situation as soon as possible will also make it easier to make adjustments so that you can give it a try in the next war.
And here, many people, including Lin Tianming, thought the same way.
Under the gaze of everyone, the disciples of Zhenyang Sect cupped their hands and clasped their fists as a greeting, and then skillfully cast spells.
After a while, the updated monster hunting list reappeared in front of everyone.
Looking around, the top five are still the same, among which Long Qingshui leads the way with 720 points.
Behind him, Jiang Yuyao overtook Jun Buhui, who had been ranked second, with 510 [-] points.
Afterwards, Zheng Xiao ranked sixth on the overall list with 240 110 points, and Deng Guanghua ranked [-]th on the overall list with [-] [-] points.
As for himself, he further improved and ranked No. 11 in the overall rankings, still ten points behind Deng Guanghua, who was tenth.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Yuan ranked [-]th, followed by Yang Tongshun. The gap between the two was extremely small. Perhaps one or two early-stage monsters could exchange places.
Not only the two of them, but in the entire list, from ninth place to No. 15, there is only a hundred points difference in between. In other words, a late second-order monster can jump from fifteen to the top ten.
With such a small gap, the competition is particularly fierce.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming couldn't help but feel surprised.
Unexpectedly, as this war is coming to an end, there have been several changes in the rankings that were rarely replaced before.
Originally, he thought that Jiang Yuyao, as a woman, could keep the No. 3 spot.
But she never thought that Jiang Yuyao would come from behind and surpass Jun Buhui at the end of the battle, who had been suppressing her.
In addition, Zheng Xiao's points growth is extremely stable, and his ranking continues to improve, and he is almost approaching the top five.
Deng Guanghua's points were also very stable, and he entered the top ten directly, becoming the non-Zhenyang Sect monk second only to Zheng Xiao.
"It seems that the world of Wei Kingdom's immortal cultivators is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are also talented and powerful people among the casual cultivators!"
Lin Tianming muttered to himself, his eyes full of admiration.
Zheng Xiao has a lot of points ahead among the non-Zhenyang Sect monks. If nothing unexpected happens, he has a high probability of getting a place to enter the Tianfeng Secret Realm.
As for the remaining two seats, it’s hard to say yet.
However, the only people who are competitive are Deng Guanghua, Hu Yuan and Yang Tongshun, besides himself.
In the Zhenyang Sect team list, the competition is not fierce.
After all, the number of teams in Yuyao City is less than a hundred, and there are still a lot of places given. It is conservatively estimated that there are about ten.
As for the rest, they must be the quotas determined internally by Zhenyang Sect and will not participate in this competition.
As the leader of his own team, Li Xiuyuan can be said to be very outstanding in both his personal record and the team's record.
According to the points on the monster hunting list, Li Xiuyuan ranked seventh on the personal list, higher than Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan.
In the team rankings organized by the Zhenyang Sect, Li Xiuyuan was also ranked sixth. The captains of the teams in front of him were all talented monks at the top of the individual rankings.
Among them, the team organized by Long Qingshui is still ranked among the top three, and has opened up a lot of gaps.
Judging from the current situation, the gap between each place on the team list is not small. If you want to make a big improvement at the last moment, the difficulty is much higher than for individuals.
Under such circumstances, Li Xiuyuan's team only needs to play steadily and maintain this ranking.
When the war ends, Li Xiuyuan, as the team's recruiter, has a high probability that he can directly win a spot in the Tianfeng Secret Realm.
Compared with casual cultivators and people from their families, the more talented disciples within Zhenyang Sect can get better opportunities without much competition at all.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming was a little envious and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's all about fighting for opportunities. Look at them, this is the foundation of Jindan's power!"
Sighing and looking at the Zhenyang Sect monks leaving, Lin Tianming didn't intend to stay long.
After making up his mind, he immediately turned around and walked away from the square.
……
Several days passed.
In the practice room of the cave, Lin Tianming closed his eyes and sat on the floor, like an old monk in front of him, the Thousand Beast Flag was hanging above his head, with a burst of light flashing from time to time.
Immediately afterwards, the roars of monster beasts came, and the echoes floated in the practice room, and finally disappeared slowly.
This state has lasted for several days.
Leaving the square in front of Zhenyang Palace, Lin Tianming went to Li Xiuyuan's cave as usual and collected the trophies of himself and Qin Xi.
After chatting for a while, we exchanged a lot of news about the world of immortality, and then returned to the cave to retreat.
He has a lot of trophies in his hands. The previous war just ended, and he is unlikely to fight in the near future.
Lin Tianming didn't intend to sit idle. He would take advantage of this free period to seal the souls of the monster beasts in the Thousand Beasts Flag, and then refining them properly, so as to maximize the full power of the Thousand Beasts Flag.
After several days of refining, the newly obtained demonic beast souls have all been sealed.
As the Thousand Beast Flag stopped spinning, Lin Tianming waved with one hand and held the five small flags in his hand.
Feeling the aura emanating from the Thousand Beast Flag, Lin Tianming looked overjoyed and smiled with satisfaction.
In the past year since the beast tide broke out, there have been a lot of demon beast souls sealed in the Thousand Beast Flag, and their grades are not low.
In the past, most of the Thousand Beast Banners were first-order monster souls, and the proportion of late first-order monsters was not high.
Since the outbreak of the demonic beast tide, a large number of demonic beast souls have been obtained from the family and the Demon Control City, including many second-level demonic beast souls. A conservative estimate is that there are hundreds of them.
As for the strongest late second-order monsters, there are now dozens of them, and there are also quite a few in the middle second-order.
Under such circumstances, the power of the current Thousand Beast Flag has increased several times compared to before.
It can be said that apart from the Tiangang Sword, the Thousand Beast Flag has become Lin Tianming's most powerful offensive weapon.
It's just a pity that the level of the refiner who refined the Thousand Beast Flag seems not to be high, and the materials used are not very good, resulting in a low grade.
As the souls of the monster beasts sealed inside surged, the power of the Thousand Beast Flag seemed to have reached its limit.
If the level of the Thousand Beast Flag itself is not improved, even if the monster souls are added, there will not be much improvement.
"When the Beast Tide War is over, I must ask Grandpa Fifteen to help improve the level of the Thousand Beast Flag. Otherwise, this magical weapon may not be able to keep up with my strength!"
Lin Tianming thought to himself, then put away the Thousand Beast Flag and prepared to start meditating.
At this moment, the sound of bells suddenly occurred in Yuyao City.
"Ok?"
When he heard the bell, Lin Tianming was full of doubts, and then he started thinking.
It had only been a few days since the previous battle. Judging from the past situation, it was unlikely that the monster beasts would take the initiative to attack the Demon Control City.
Furthermore, since the war lasted for so long, the overall strength of the monster army was more than halved.
Except for a few top third-order monsters that are still alive and can still exert great strength, the number of second-order monsters has been greatly reduced, and they are no match for the human monks.
"Could it be that the monsters have a lot of reinforcements?"
"Or are they crazy? Or are the monsters trying to escape?"
Lin Tianming made three assumptions in succession. Based on his own opinion, he still felt that there was a high possibility of new changes in the monster army.
"No matter, let's go out and take a look first!"
Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming immediately stood up and left the practice room.
Outside the house, Qin Xi, who heard the bell ringing, was already waiting at the door.
When I saw him coming out, I immediately came up to him with the same doubtful look in my eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, why is this?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Lin Tianming shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know. No matter what happens, there will be Jindan monks in front of us, so there is no need to panic."
"Let's go out and take a look first before we talk!"
Qin Xi nodded, and then the two of them left the cave one after another and rushed towards the wall of Yuyao City.
Along the road, many monks gathered together in twos and threes. Everyone was full of doubts, and they all headed towards the place where the city wall was.
Lin Tianming and his wife didn't waste any time and soon arrived at the city wall.
At this time, teammates such as Li Xiuyuan and Hu Yuan had arrived, and a small number of people were on their way.
Lin Tianming walked up to everyone and greeted everyone before gathering together.
After a while, there were more and more monks on the city wall, and all members of their team were present.
Looking around, from the 50 people at the beginning of the war, to now only more than [-] people have survived, and nearly [-] foundation-building monks have fallen on this battlefield.
Ninety percent of those who survive now have cultivation levels above the fifth level of foundation building.
If Lin Tianming hadn't always taken care of a monk like Qin Xi who was on the second level of the foundation, he might have perished long ago in this tragic battle.
At this moment, Lin Tianming immediately paid attention to the direction outside the city, using all his spiritual consciousness and five-color eyes, as if he wanted to see what was going on.
However, outside the Demon Control City, wherever he could explore, everything was peaceful. Apart from the traces of damage caused by the war, no abnormalities were found at all.
He withdrew his consciousness and immediately asked Li Xiuyuan beside him: "Fellow Daoist Li, what happened to this sudden gathering of people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yuan asked with the same doubt.
"Yes... According to normal circumstances, this is not the time period for monster attacks at all, and no traces of monster activity have been found!"
After hearing the questioning from several people, Li Xiuyuan looked at the peaceful world outside the city with a very helpless expression.
In fact, he was in a fog, there was no news from above, and there were no signs.
"Fellow Taoists, I haven't received any news, and I'm very confused about this!"
"But it shouldn't be a big deal. After all, everyone knows about the situation of the monster army, and everything is calm outside the city. It's unlikely to be bad news."
After hearing this, everyone nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, everyone stopped asking questions and communicated with each other. By the way, they were waiting for Master Jin Dan to come forward, and everything would naturally be explained by then.
A cup of tea is over.
As the bell sounded the assembly call, a large number of foundation-building monks had gathered on the city wall.
In the square below the city wall, thousands of Qi Refining monks gathered together and discussed among themselves.
As a few rays of light flashed, Chen Jingtian and several golden elixir monks quietly appeared in the attic on the city wall.
At this moment, Chen Jingtian and others had red faces, chatting and laughing, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Seeing this situation, everyone below did not dare to express their anger, and they all waited patiently.
I don't know how much time passed, but Chen Jingtian and others ended their chat, and then looked in the direction outside the city.
Chen Jingtian turned around and looked at the many monks on the field, and heard a loud voice.
"Juniors, I just received accurate news that the monster army suddenly retreated for some unknown reason."
Before he finished speaking, the audience burst into deafening cheers.
