"The barrier was set up beforehand, how can it be changed at will? Unacceptable!"

He is the captain and also the senior brother of Lú Bīng Fēng. Even if people have opinions, they can only keep them to themselves out of fear.

However, Li Shouzheng still conceded a step.

He made the caster stand back a certain distance and set a time limit for casting, ensuring only that there was either rain or snow every half hour.

A group of people discussed many issues again.

About how often is a spell cast, what kind of spells are best suited for the current environment, and about how long does one day of casting take……

Just as they were discussing this, Luo Yi Die returned with the logistics team.

She smiled faintly and calmly: "Senior Brother Li, how was your spellcasting today?"

Don't hit someone who is smiling. Li Shoucheng also relaxed his brow, "It's alright, I just encountered some minor issues."

He casually mentioned the problems he encountered.

Luo Yidie listened and nodded in agreement, saying: "We just finished inspecting the barrier and found that it enveloped the entire Bi Shui Town. The area is too large, and it requires too much spiritual energy. If we were to reinforce it little by little, it might not be possible even in three days."

I discussed with Senior Sister Yuanxi about whether we could reduce the barrier's area by half. This way, less spiritual energy would be consumed, and our strengthening speed would also increase a lot. Senior Brother Li, it would also be much more convenient for you to cast your spells!

Li Shouzheng heard that she and Yuanxi had already discussed it, and frowned unpleasantly. "Since you've already made up your mind, why come ask me? We don't interfere with your logistics team's affairs."

He was handsome and serious. When he frowned, the atmosphere in the room grew cold.

Luo Yidie had long heard that the disciples of Lü Bingfeng and Zhongeleifeng were at odds. After she spoke, she regretted it a little, but hearing Li Shuzheng's tone, she was also displeased.

"As Brother Li said, our logistics team can make its own decisions. But since we're guarding a town, we should inform you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

One room, people facing each other in pairs, silent for a while.

Li Shouzheng remained calm and said, "Since the matter has been discussed, let's all return to our residences and rest. Remember to be on time for the spellcasting tomorrow!"

"Yes."

Lin Qi had just stepped out of his room when he heard someone shouting in the distance, "The ferocious beast has come again!"

Then came the earth-shattering roar of the bronze drums: “Beast attack, beast attack! Everyone extinguish your lights!”

A few scattered lights were extinguished in an instant, darkness descended, and all that was left before my eyes was pitch black.

Soon, a sinister red light appeared at the edge of the barrier, like a red chain locking down the entire town.

A faint roar of a beast, like the growl from hell, echoed in my ears, accompanied by booming impacts.

"A ferocious beast has attacked! Should we go help?" A disciple of the Guardian Corps asked with worry.

"That's a task for the hunters, what does it have to do with us? We should just rest well tonight and gather enough spiritual energy to cast spells tomorrow."

Influenced by Li Shouzheng, several disciples of Lú Bingfeng just wanted to take care of their own patch of land.

But the barrier hasn't been reinforced yet. If a ferocious beast breaks through the barrier and comes in, won't we all be in danger?

"The barrier of Bi Shui Town has lasted so long, how is it possible that we could break it just by coming here? Don't overthink it."

"That's right, that's right! You don't even look at the cultivation levels of the Hunting Squad, and ours. Let's not talk about helping, it's good enough if we don't cause trouble."

Due to different duties, the requirements for disciples' cultivation are also different.

The Guardian Squad can be entered at the fourth level of Qi training, while the Hunt Squad requires cultivators at the eighth level of Qi training to enter.

Senior Sister Yuanxi's team consisted mostly of Qi Refining cultivators, with only one Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

The Guard can't really do much to help.

Li Shoucheng also came out. He looked up at those crimson lights, within which countless ferocious beasts were hidden.

He said calmly, “Such things will happen often in the future. Just get used to it. You’d better go back to rest early and recharge your spirits for tomorrow’s spellcasting.”

A crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

Dan Yueqing and Lin Qi were assigned to a room together. She frowned, "Master Luo is going to shrink the barrier, what about Qiao Yu?"

Lin Qi sat cross-legged on the bed, regulating her internal spiritual energy. "Don't worry, I just asked my senior sister, she said that considering Senior Brother Li's thoughts, it hasn't been done yet."

Tan Yue shook her head. "Senior brother is too stubborn and too concerned with his face."

Lin Qi opened her eyes and smiled, "Isn't this a family tradition? Even protective. Today if you weren't by my side, he would have probably caught me and scolded me already."

"Tan Yue shook her head, "Let's not talk about this... You truly never forget to cultivate, moment by moment."

……

Under the bridge, Qiao Yu wrapped in gray fur, carefully opened the Qi Induction Technique given by Lin Qi.

She knew all the characters in the book, but when they were put together, she couldn't understand a single word.

Even so, she still affirmed that this book was the only chance to change her destiny.

If you can't understand, so what?

She can memorize it first, word by word.

Thus, even if Immortal Sister regrets taking the book back tomorrow, she has already memorized its contents.

Qiao Yu said and did, focusing intently on the book, taking notes and then starting to recite by heart.

Unbeknownst to them, the sky had darkened. The beasts lurking in the wilderness began battering against the barrier once more.

She pulled the gray blanket tighter around her. The tabby cat in her arms let out a soft meow and opened its mouth to spit out a pale green orb.

Qiao Yu, relying on the faint light emitted by the beads, memorizes the words in the book with a trance-like state.

"The Great Dao is formless, giving birth to heaven and earth; It is without emotion, running the sun and moon; It is nameless, nourishing all things…"

Joe repeatedly recited it, concentrating intensely on engraving each character into his mind. He remained unaffected by the outside environment and gradually entered a state of trance-like absorption.

When she repeated it to the 109th time, her consciousness drifted away from her brain, falling into a mysterious feeling.

Qiao Yu didn't realize this, and was still repeating it in his mouth.

A little red light appeared in her world, then green.

Countless red and green dots floated before his eyes, forming lines from dots, then surfaces... the brilliance grew.

When Qiao Yu realized something was wrong, the entire world was illuminated by these two colors.

She stared in amazement at the dots, just about to reach out and touch them when they spontaneously burrowed into her body.

Joe Yu didn't know how to react, but she knew she had stumbled into this mysterious world because of rote memorization, so she dared not stop.

In my mind and mouth, I kept repeating the content from the book.

Carrying on, carrying on, some obscure and difficult words suddenly seemed to make sense.

She fumbled, drawing in the points of light from outside, stumbling her way as she guided them through her body until they finally flowed into the three-inch point below her navel.

In the north, shrouded in darkness, a faint light enveloped Qiao Yu, contrasting sharply with the crimson glow a zhang away.

At the moment of ugliness, it was just rooster crowing time when a sound of footsteps startled Qiao Yu.

Added yesterday's chapter.
