I can gather experience beads

Hongzhou, on the front line, a towering war pagoda stands on a high ground.

On the top floor of the war tower, there is a spacious and bright meeting room.

At this time, Cao Rui followed Prince Yunxiao and slowly walked in.

Cao Rui sensed something and found that there were more than thirty Jindan-stage cultivators gathered in the conference room. They were sitting on cushions in different parts of the hall around a table at the top.

These monks looked solemn, as if they were discussing important matters.

Beside the table at the top, there were three monks sitting. They were emitting powerful fluctuations of magical power. They were actually three Nascent Soul monks!

These three Nascent Soul cultivators are the supreme commanders of the Second Army.

Beside them, there were more than a dozen round mirrors of different sizes. These round mirrors were flashing with strange light, and they were showing the real-time battle scenes on the front line.

In some mirrors, everything was peaceful and sound; in others, monks were fighting against demons.

Presumably, it was through these magical weapons that they witnessed the fierce battle between Cao Rui and the demons.

Since the war has not been intense recently, most of the monks gathered in the meeting hall.

When Cao Rui stepped in here, everyone's eyes fell on him at the same time.

These looks contained both curiosity and admiration for his previous strong combat performance.

Being able to kill a team of demon raiders single-handedly, no one in the Jindan stage present dares to say that he can do it with such strength.

"Commander, this is Fellow Daoist Chen Fugui. He is a casual cultivator who has just come out of seclusion. He came here to join the Demon-Slaying Alliance and kill the demons together." Young Master Yunxiao spoke and gave Cao Rui a brief introduction.

At this time, a middle-aged monk with white hair slowly stood up and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The monk's white hair shone like silver frost, and every strand seemed to contain a faint spiritual light, giving people a mysterious and noble feeling.

His face has a high nose bridge, and his deep eyes reveal a decisiveness and are extremely powerful.

His eyes fell on Cao Rui, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "With a cultivator like Fellow Daoist Chen who has unparalleled combat power joining us, why should we worry about not being able to eliminate the demons?"

Young Master Yunxiao whispered, "Fellow Daoist Chen, this is the commander of the Second Army of our Demon Slayer Alliance, Bai Qianhe!"

Cao Rui's heart moved, he was not unfamiliar with this surname.

The Bai family, to which Bai Qianhe belongs, is, like the Gongzi family, also one of the five major immortal cultivation families in Hongzhou.

With their powerful strength and profound background, they have always been an important force in Hongzhou's immortal cultivation world.

Cao Rui bowed slightly to Bai Qianhe and said, "Thank you, Commander!"

Bai Qianhe smiled and nodded.

"I am only speaking the truth. We have seen your performance on the battlefield through our detection tools."

"It is an honor for the Second Army that you are willing to join the Second Army."

"Although destroying demons is a righteous act, those who deserve rewards must still be rewarded."

"Tell me, what do you need?"

It is different from the reward system based on merit during the Qi Refining period.

Jindan stage cultivators make greater contributions in the battle to slay demons.

Especially for the independent cultivators in the Jindan stage, if they hide in the deep mountains and forests and do not come out, the Demon-Slaying Alliance will have no way to deal with them.

Therefore, when the Demon-Slaying Alliance was first established, it was stipulated that any Jindan-stage cultivator who participated in the Demon-Slaying Alliance would be given a chance to be rewarded.

The reward items are proposed by the Jindan monks themselves.

The source of the items was led by Lingxiao Sword Sect, with contributions from the five major families.

Of course, correspondingly, after the Jindan cultivator uses this reward, he will have to serve on the front line for at least one year.

On the way here, Master Yunxiao mentioned this matter to Cao Rui.

We must make good use of this opportunity.

Because the Demon-Slaying Alliance is really willing to spend a lot of money now, and Cao Rui has shown such outstanding combat power.

Bai Qianhe was willing to pay a huge price and keep Cao Rui in the Second Army.

"If you need it..."

"Is there any treasure that can weaken the fire spiritual root? Or a treasure that can enhance the water spiritual root and wood spiritual root?" Cao Rui said.

The Demon-Slaying Alliance's treasure house now basically gathers all the top treasures in Hongzhou, and it may also have this kind of top treasure that can affect spiritual roots.

Long Xinyue taught Cao Rui the five elements of innate spiritual roots. Cao Rui has currently balanced the gold spiritual root and the earth spiritual root. He only needs to balance the other three spiritual roots to gather the true five elements of innate spiritual roots.

Gathering the five elements' innate spiritual roots can not only speed up cultivation, but also greatly enhance Cao Rui's combat effectiveness. It is currently the fastest way for Cao Rui to improve his combat effectiveness and potential.

After Cao Rui finished speaking, the Jindan people in the conference room showed no expression.

Bai Qianhe also did not think that Cao Rui's request was too exorbitant. It was obvious that he believed that Cao Rui's fighting power was fully matched with such a top-level treasure.

Bai Qianhe thought for a moment and then said, "Treasures that can affect spiritual roots are rare, and it's a bit difficult to gather all three treasures at the same time, but I promise to give you one of them within three days, and the other two within a year!"

After hearing this, Cao Rui was slightly stunned.

What a generous reward!

Originally, he meant that just one of the treasures would be enough.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qianhe now wanted to collect all three treasures of Cao Rui.

However, this might also be something Bai Qianhe did on purpose, with the purpose of using spiritual roots and treasures to keep Cao Rui in the Second Army.

Anyway, it will take time for the influence of the Lingyin Jade Pendant to expand.

According to preliminary estimates, it will take several years for every cultivator in Yunzhou to have a Lingyin jade pendant.

Cao Rui naturally didn't mind the time issue.

Cao Rui nodded and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Commander."

"Well, everyone welcome the new commander of the Second Army, the sword cultivator Chen Fugui!"

As soon as Cao Rui joined, Cao Rui Bai Nian directly gave him the position of commander, which was a position that could only be granted to Jindan monks with profound strength and recognized combat power.

Before this, Shi Shatian did not have this qualification.

In the entire Second Army, including the thirty Jindan cultivators in the meeting room and those on missions outside, the total number of commanders does not exceed forty.

Bai Qianhe asked Cao Rui to sit in the front few seats among the thirty or so cushions.

Obviously, he believed that Cao Rui was among the strongest commanders present.

Then they continued with their previous meeting, discussing how to prevent the assault team from counterattacking into the natural moat.

Cao Rui was new here, so naturally he was confused and quite bored.

Young Master Yunxiao was on Cao Rui's left. Seeing this, he sent a message to Cao Rui: "Recently, due to the death of two demon kings, the demons' offensive has slowed down. They are more likely to look for opportunities to infiltrate the inland. There are no large-scale battles, so the commanders are relatively idle on a daily basis."

"Our commander is a man who can't sit still. If it weren't for Ling Xiao Jianzu's refusal, he would have wanted to form a raiding team and head straight to Qingzhou a long time ago!"

"We have been discussing the formation of a raiding team for many days. You came at the right time!"
