I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

Afterwards, under Jiang Yan's leadership, everyone quickly left the dormitory building and headed towards the inner camp.

Walk out of the inner camp.

After passing through the outer camp.

On the way to Pingyang City.

Jiang Yan came close to Zhou Heng, and chuckled softly, whether intentionally or not, and sighed:

"You're lucky, kid. You've just been assigned to a job outside the army."

"Oh...is this kind of out-of-town work arrangement rare?"

Although he had no idea why Jiang Yan brought up all this, Zhou Heng was indeed a little curious about it, so he simply continued the conversation with him in depth.

"Of course it's rare."

Jiang Yan clicked his tongue twice and said:

"First and foremost, the way we new recruits go out is different from the veterans.

The veterans go out on dangerous missions and may lose their lives at any time.

Our work arrangement says that we should stay in the government office and maintain stability in the city, but do you think those mortals have the ability to hurt us?

Therefore, our action this time can be said to be risk-free.

Another thing is that the concentration of spiritual energy will actually pose more dangers to our cultivation. The concentration of spiritual energy around Qingliang Mountain is too high.

With the support of cultivation resources, it is safer for us low-level warriors to cultivate in Pingyang City."

"What? Excessively high concentrations of spiritual energy can actually be dangerous to cultivation?"

"You do not know?"

"How could I, a newly enlisted soldier, possibly know all this?"

"Tsk tsk, you... I don't quite understand what you're saying."

Jiang Yan once again looked Zhou Heng up and down in amazement, then shook his head and continued:

“The higher the concentration of spiritual energy, the higher the probability of us encountering hallucinations during cultivation.

It's fine if you can maintain a firm will when facing those hallucinations. But if your will is not firm enough, if you fail to always remember that you are a person and fail to end the breathing method in time, you must have seen what will happen in the end.

Every batch of non-commissioned soldiers has seen those unfortunate people who died from hallucinations.

Even this is not the most dangerous place you will encounter during cultivation.

Every time we practice breathing techniques, our spirit will be polluted by spiritual energy. If we practice too frequently, the speed at which the spirit automatically degrades the pollution will not be able to offset the speed at which it is polluted, and eventually the spirit will be invaded by something strange, causing indescribable deformation of the body.

Although the degree of mental pollution that each person can withstand is different, mental pollution is extremely terrifying. Once it breaks out, it is simply not something that people like us can resist.

Therefore, for safety reasons, the military camp only gives us a maximum of three pieces of meat per day and does not provide any other food.

This is the safest amount, enough to ensure that our spirit has enough time every day to degrade pollution.

Otherwise, if we eat other ordinary food after eating meat essence to replenish blood and flesh, we can practice at least two more rounds of breathing techniques in a day.

But if you practice for two more rounds in a place with rich spiritual energy like a military camp, you will most likely not be able to withstand the spiritual pollution.

If it were in Pingyang City, the final result would be completely different. We wouldn't have to practice a few more rounds of breathing techniques."

"Is this so..."

After listening to Jiang Yan's explanation.

Zhou Heng suddenly understood, and understood in his heart the reason for the strange situation that was bound to occur when his spiritual pollution reached a high level.

Seeing Zhou Heng's expression of sudden enlightenment.

The expression on Jiang Yan's face suddenly became even weirder, and he couldn't help but ask:

"You really don't know these things?"

"of course."

Zhou Heng nodded directly, without any intention of pretending to know.

Through Jiang Yan's series of attitudes, he could vaguely guess what the other party was thinking. The other party might have thought that he had some backing in the military camp, so he was so proactive in showing goodwill to him.

But, he really has no backing, and he also doesn't want to deliberately use this opportunity to increase the other party's speculation and gain benefits.

Things like using someone's real identity will be exposed sooner or later. There is no grudge between them, and he doesn't want to harm others in this way. If it is exposed in the end, he will get himself into trouble.

Another, most important point is that even if he uses the tiger's skin, it is difficult for him to gain much useful benefits from the other party. It is not worth his while to do such a thing for such a small profit.

Seeing Zhou Heng's affirmative answer.

Jiang Yan's mouth opened silently. After a long while, he finally chuckled and shook his head.

"You're quite good, kid! You're worthy of being someone who can become smart after just one day in the camp.

However, you still know too little about the basic knowledge of martial arts practice.

After this seven-day operation is over, you'd better go to the military training hall in the camp and learn more."

"I will, thanks for letting me know."

Zhou Heng bowed and thanked him.

Jiang Yan smiled and waved his hand.

At the same time, Liu Shiqing and the other three, who had been listening to Zhou Jiang and the other two's conversation in silence, narrowed their eyes slightly, and no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

……

Without using energy to drive martial arts.

It is said that the opened Yuanqiao can increase the strength of the warrior. In fact, in addition to pure strength, the warrior's various physical qualities will also be improved accordingly.

Otherwise, how could the warrior withstand the reverse impact brought about by the increase in strength based on his original physical condition?

Therefore, the speed at which Zhou Heng and his party rushed from the military camp to Pingyang City was much faster than the speed at which Zhou Heng himself rushed from Pingyang City to the military camp in his mortal body.

It’s just noon.

They had already arrived near Pingyang City and could clearly see the towering city walls and the fully armed patrol soldiers on the walls who were on high alert.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Zhou Heng, who had less awakening, could keep up, Jiang Yan and the others would have traveled even faster.

After all, among them, even Wang Dajun, who had the least number of opened acupoints, had already opened eleven acupoints.

Arrived near Pingyang City.

Zhou Heng immediately noticed that the number of refugees gathered outside the city gate was at least twice the number when he left.

You know, only two and a half days had passed since he left here and arrived at the military camp. In just these two and a half days, the number of refugees had doubled.

Such a terrifying rate of refugee growth shows how terrible the disaster is in Pingyang Prefecture. It is no wonder that the prefect of Pingyang Prefecture is so anxious to ask for help from the Qingliang Army.

Since ancient times, unrest has been inevitable once the number of refugees increases. If things continue as they are now, it won’t be long before the number of refugees outside Pingyang City increases several times.

At that time, if Pingyang City insists on providing porridge to relieve the disaster, it will be fine. But once the porridge distribution is stopped, the refugees outside the city will definitely change.
