"Thanks, this old Cui doesn't want to join the army for the time being..."
"Hero, what's your name?"
"Cui LI from Yongzhou Province!"
After having a brief talk with the commissioned officer at the gate, Zhang Tie didn't stop at all. He just swiped his card and entered the Lion Fortress with Gong Ziyao and Zhou Shufan.
By swiping his card, he could prove his identity and gain earth-element crystals by staying in the Lion Fortress for a long time.
"Younger brother Cui, we will separate for now. See you in the Iron-blood Tower at 8 pm the day after tomorrow!" Gong Ziyao told Zhang Tie.
"Fine, you two go ahead. I also need to deal with these things. See you in the evening the day after tomorrow!" Zhang Tie nodded.
The three people cupped their hands towards each other before leaving.
Over the past few days, the three people had known each other a lot. Gong Ziyao and Zhou Shufan invited Zhang Tie to meet them in the Iron-blood Tower in the knights' bar in the Lion Fortress 3 days later. Zhang Tie nodded and agreed with them.
Watching Gong Ziyao and Zhou Shufan leaving, Zhang Tie recalled the map of the Lion Fortress before running towards the Brilliance Tower in the Lion Fortress.
It was the place where knights in the Lion Fortress issued various tasks and exchanged for various resources. The Brilliance Tower was the task tower for knights in the Lion Fortress.
The pair of ox-head demon knight's horns was the evidence that Zhang Tie had killed a demon knight. They could be exchanged for a lot of items in the Brilliance Tower.
Until now, in order to match the identity of Cui LI, besides having a residence in the Lion Fortress, Zhang Tie was poor. He didn't even have a change of clothes. Besides that gold-eaten dagger, Zhang Tie didn't have any other equipment or weapons. Therefore, the pair of ox horns that he gained from killing the demon knight could greatly improve Zhang Tie's "dilemma".
The ox-head demon knight's horns were not only ornamental, but also had a great medicinal value. In the hands of pharmacists, these horns could clear heat, cool blood, stabilize shock, detoxify and recover qi. They were the most precious and main material for making self-stabilizing pills for fighters below knight level when they were possessed by the devil. Self-stabilizing pills were very precious. On average, 3 self-stabilizing pills could save one human fighter's life when he was possessed by the devil. However, the main raw materials of core stability pills could only be gained by killing ox-head demon knights in the Earth-elements Realm.
If the horns of ox-headed demon knights were made into wine cups or kettles, they would have the effect of detoxifying and detoxifying. Therefore, they were more valuable.
Demons were eating humans, and humans were also eating demons. The only thing that mattered was whose teeth were better.
As the portal for humans to enter the Earth-elements Realm, the Lion Fortress was not only responsible for defense; actually, the Lion Fortress was also a base for humans to gain resources in the Earth-elements Realm.
Zhang Tie ran towards the tower of brilliance. On the way, all the passers-by, knights in Castle of Black Iron, logistics and battle auxiliary personnel threw admiring and praising looks at Zhang Tie at the sight of the pair of ox-head horns on Zhang Tie's back.
True experts, no matter where they went, would be respected, especially on the battlefield.
Even though many human knights in the Lion Fortress had fought demon knights until now, less than 20% of all the human knights in the Lion Fortress could kill demon knights and have a record of killing demon knights.
"What a brave man!"
"What a brave human general!"
On the way, Zhang Tie heard such praises all the way.
Zhang Tie ignored the others' eye light. Actually, he didn't feel proud at all. Perhaps it was very difficult for others to kill a demon knight; actually, the total number of demon knights and knights of Three-eye Association that Zhang Tie had killed was enough. Of course, Zhang Tie was not thrilled at all.
...
The tower of brilliance was higher than 2,000 m, which was very eye-catching in the Lion Fortress.
Those human knights in the Lion Fortress were entering and exiting the tower of brilliance. Besides Hua knights, Zhang Tie could also see many foreign knights in other skin colors.
At the sight of Zhang Tie with a pair of ox-head horns on his back, all the human knights in the tower threw a serious glance at Zhang Tie.
After climbing over 100 metal steps, Zhang Tie came to the mission lobby which covered tens of thousands of square meters in the tower of brilliance.
The moment Zhang Tie entered the mission hall, he saw a metal wall higher than 20 m, on which hung various mission boards and instructions, making it easy for him to read them at a glance. On both sides of the wall curtain were counters and backrooms which were used to serve knights. Such a layout was a bit similar to that of the lobby of Golden Roc Bank. Perhaps, the layout of the lobby of Golden Roc Bank originated from here.
Zhang Tie muttered inside. Closely after that, he strode to the front of a counter and put the two ox-head horns onto the counter. Closely after that, he shouted, "Turn in the mission!"
"A pair of horns of an ox-head demon knight. Not bad, not bad. It's been killed for less than 5 days. It's very fresh. It's not picked up from the primordial battlefield in the first abyss by luck!" Behind the counter was an old man in red uniform. After checking the pair of horns of the demon knight seriously, the old man nodded and put them under the counter, "This pair of horns weighs over 30 kg. If a pharmacist in green robe could make over 800 internal stabilizing pills with it, hundreds of human fighters would be saved..."
Zhang Tie grinned. As a human knight, he indeed felt a sense of achievement at this moment...
"Give me your identity card!" The old man's tone became much more polite.
Zhang Tie passed his identity card in the Lion Fortress to the old man. After taking it, the old man inserted it into a machine on his side and started to operate it. After a few seconds, the old man pulled out the identity card and took out 18 golden earth-element crystals from under the counter before pushing them in front of Zhang Tie.
"Here's your reward, 18 earth-element crystals, 5 meritorious points in the Lion Fortress and 1,000 consumption points in the Lion Fortress!"
Touching his bald head, Zhang Tie asked, "What's the use of meritorious points?"
The old man threw a glance at Zhang Tie, "There are many resources in the Lion Fortress which could not be enjoyed by earth-element crystals and consumption points. You could only use meritorious points, such as training in the Heavens Ball..."
'Heavens Ball? 'Zhang Tie's heart slightly pounded. He remembered that an elder of Huaiyuan Palace told him that there was indeed a Heavens Ball in the Lion Fortress, which was not exclusive to Heavens Fortune Sect.
...
After taking back his identity card which had been "charged", Zhang Tie left the tower of brilliance.
Closely after that, Zhang Tie came to the nearest supply point and claimed 7 days' supplies.
7 days' supplies were 7 breadfruits, 3,500 grams of nutritious mushrooms and 3,500 grams of watermelons. After putting them into a metal supply box, Zhang Tie returned to his knight's tower No. 1607 with the supply box on his back.
Zhang Tie didn't need the supplies in the Lion Fortress at all. However, as he had been in the Earth-elements Realm for so many days, if he didn't take some supplies there, he might arouse the suspicion of others. Even knights needed to replenish their energy and food. Nobody could make them appear out of thin air.
After opening the gate of the knight's tower and closing it, Zhang Tie found that the entire knight's tower was as same as when he left a few days ago.
The more Zhang Tie couldn't wait to experience the achievement of purgatory samsara method in the cultivation room, the calmer Zhang Tie became. He started to prepare a supper for himself on the first floor.
He prepared supper with the supplies that he had brought back.
Actually, it was a bit exaggerated to say that he was preparing supper. Because the three supplies could be eaten directly without any processing. He just took out a plate and a knife and made a platter for himself like making a fruit platter. After that, he sat down calmly and started to enjoy them leisurely.
Since he gained Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie had been consciously making himself patient and leisurely when he was impatient.
The bigger one was, the calmer one should be.
The more impatient one was, the calmer one should be.
This was also a kind of cultivation.
Bread was really like bread. However, it was a half-dried coarse bread. It was a food with very thick fiber. It didn't taste good. It was just edible.
Nutritious mushrooms were like dried squid. They smelled fishy and a bit salty. They were not tasty either.
The water melon was very rich in moisture, and when it was eaten, it would be full of juice. It also had a hint of sweetness, but after eating it, there would be a bitter aftertaste in the mouth.
Although knights had great nerves, Zhang Tie didn't know whether he would go mad if he had to eat such things for a few years.
After eating up the food on the plate, Zhang Tie cleaned up these things. Not until he recovered his composure did Zhang Tie enter the cultivation room upstairs.
...
After sitting down with crossed legs in the cultivation room, Zhang Tie recovered his composure. At the same time, his perception gradually became clearer...
Right outside the first chakra that he had formed, a stretch of golden, pure earth elements were slowly rotating along with the rotation of Zhang Tie's chakra like satellites on the orbit of a planet...
Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy while those pure earth elements directly entered the chakra. After being ground by the chakra, they poured towards the complex and huge mysterious geometric patterns in the earth chakra under Zhang Tie's control like pouring steel castings, causing those geometric patterns to light up one after another...
It was dozens of times more efficient than directly absorbing earth-element crystals. If Zhang Tie's washing hands with earth-element crystals was like turning on a faucet, he was completely connecting the main water supply pipeline to his home.
When Zhang Tie was repairing the chakra of the demon knight which was refined by Purgatory Samsara Method, the 31st dragon scale on his portable knight's crystal plate had lit up after 1 hour...
