An uneventful night.
The next day.
Dawn.
A red-necked white crane flew up from Bai Hua Palace, heading towards the horizon.
The White Crane was extremely fast. Every time it flapped its wings, there would be a faintly discernible cloud of fire surrounding its body.
Any cultivator who knows how to fly would know that this was the fastest flying mount, the Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane.
This type of crane doesn't have much fighting power or defense, the only advantage it has is speed.
Cultivators can fly by themselves, but if they're going to fight for a long period of time, they'll need a mount.
Airships cost spirit stones, but spirit beasts don't even need spirit stones, at most a few low-level Fasting Pills are enough.
If a cultivator flies by themselves, they'll need to use spirit energy.
And in a cruel war, every bit of spirit energy can mean the difference between life and death.
So the best thing to use is a spirit beast mount. A cultivator doesn't need to use their spirit energy or stamina, they can even meditate and enter a state of cultivation.
Gu Qing Shan sat on the back of the crane, looking up.
After leaving Bai Hua Immortal country, they passed by Yue Shan Spirit Sect, Flowing Clouds Sect, West Mountain Sword Sect, the road became more and more desolate.
There were cities, farms, and villages along the way, but as the crane flew, all of them disappeared.
What replaced them were large, desolate fields.
Even if there were some scattered villages, there was no one living there.
Everyone, whether they're normal people or cultivators, were being advised to move inland.
This place was already close to the frontlines.
Cultivators in twos and threes were scattered around, setting up various array formations.
This place is the buffer zone for the frontlines, so if there's a loss, the formations here will be responsible for defending and counterattacking.
After flying for about an hour, Gu Qing Shan saw the army camp.
Although it's called a military camp, it's actually as big as a medium-sized city. There's a 10-meter-tall defensive formation around the camp, occasionally patrolling cultivators riding spirit beasts would fly past.
This is basically a war fortress.
"Let's go down" he said.
"Got it" Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane replied.
The cloud of fire descended, stopping at the empty field in front of the camp.
Gu Qing Shan took out a pill and fed it to the crane, saying: "You've worked hard, rest up first"
Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane ate the pill and went back into the spirit beast bag.
Gu Qing Shan strode to the entrance of the barracks.
"Who goes there?" The two cultivators at the entrance shouted.
"Xiao Qi Chaplain Gu Qing Shan, reporting for duty." Gu Qing Shan said as she threw her badge over.
One of the cultivators took the token and infused it with his spirit energy. The token immediately lit up.
A streak of light soared into the sky, revealing the words "Xiao Qi Chaplain Gu Qing Shan".
The cultivator sensed the token and found that it was connected to the young man in front of him, so he nodded.
He tossed the waist tag back to Gu Qing Shan. "Go in."
Gu Qing Shan said, "Thank you very much."
The military camp was bustling with activity.
"Who's going to prepare the pills for the A Sub-Battalion?"
"Where's the formation plate? Have the Vanguard Camp's array masters fixed the array discs? We're going to charge the formation tomorrow. Why haven't you sent it to him yet? "
"Who's going to record it down for me, the two Western camps have fallen, I'm going to save them myself"
A few great cultivators were shouting and shouting, all the supporting cultivators around them were so busy that they didn't even have time to rest.
Gu Qing Shan queued up, walked in front of a table and put her badge on it.
The cultivator took the badge, imprinted a spirit rune on it and said: "Next"
Gu Qing Shan quickly took the badge and was led to another room.
He looked at the sign on the door, only to see the words: Armaments Division.
As soon as he went in, a cultivator took the badge.
The cultivator released his inner sight and scanned the badge.
"A Xiao Qi Chaplain. He came just in time."
Saying so, he went to the storage room to take out a set of armor.
"Check it, if there's no problem, put your fingerprint on it"
"Ah, yes, thank you"
Gu Qing Shan took the set of armor to the table on the side and spread it out.
This was a black armor with red patterns on it. The red patterns on it are very small, engraved in inconspicuous places. They're the armor's spirit rune formation.
Breastplate, shoulder pads, helmet, arm guards, gauntlets, belt, knee pads, boots, all of them are brand new and of excellent quality.
Every piece of this set of armor was a spiritual-grade equipment.
Equipment forging, from lowest to highest, is divided into Sharpness, Treasure, Spirit, Law and Dao.
A Spirit-grade equipment being in the middle is already quite good, not to mention it's a full set of armor.
With this armor, you can fight without worry on the battlefield, without having to worry about sneak attacks from special demons like the Heart-stealing Imp.
The golden armor that Ning Yuechan wore before was a General-grade advanced armor.
Wearing that armor, even if she just stood there and let normal demons attack her, they wouldn't be able to break through.
That armor can be considered a high-grade magic tool, the amount of resources and time it takes to make it is unimaginable, so it's extremely precious.
After carefully inspecting it, Gu Qing Shan pressed his fingerprint on it.
Seeing that he didn't waste any time, quickly inspecting it and even pressed his fingerprint on it, the cultivator was very happy.
The cultivator said: "Very good, now I'll pick a weapon for you"
He flipped through the catalog and spoke: "Let me see, Xiao Qi Chaplain's grade, ah, two weapons to choose from — — what weapon do you want?"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then said: "I'll use my own weapon, but can I exchange for a few more Demon Slaying Arrows?"
"You don't want two weapons, only Demon Slaying Arrows?"
"Yes"
The cultivator looked at him seriously and said: "According to the Xiao Qi Chaplain's grade, you can get one Demon Slaying Arrow, but if you don't want a weapon, I can make the decision and give you 5"
"Very well" Gu Qing Shan happily said.
The cultivator went deeper into the storage room. After a while, he struggled to carry the 5 arrows back.
Dong!
The arrows landed on the table with a dull thud.
The cultivator breathed a sigh of relief and said: "These things are really heavy, alright, you can inspect them now"
Gu Qing Shan took one of them and carefully inspected it under the light.
This Devil Slaying Arrow glowed with a dark light. From the tip of the arrow to the feathers, there were small and complicated runes engraved on it. The entire arrow was covered in runes, and there wasn't even a single empty space.
Demon Slaying Arrows were made from meteorites, they're very powerful, but there aren't many of them, so they're usually only used in crucial battles, very rarely given to soldiers.
This is a life-saving equipment, so there can't be any problems with it. So Gu Qing Shan carefully inspected it.
After inspecting all 5 arrows, he clasped his fist to the other party: "There are no problems, thank you"
"Come, put your fingerprint on the weapon receipt record"
"Got it"
After Gu Qing Shan received his items, when he came out again, he was brought to a room by the guard cultivator.
There were a few dozen cultivators sitting cross-legged in this room, waiting for the military order.
The guard cultivator brought Gu Qing Shan in front of three other cultivators and told them: "You're all here, you can start preparing, when you're called, you'll all set off together"
Saying so, the guard cultivator was about to leave.
The other three cultivators quickly checked their personal belongings to see if there's anything missing.
Gu Qing Shan pulled the guard cultivator to ask for the location, then went to the Military Merit Department.
A few moments later, he came back with a smile.
The great cultivators in charge of the Military Merit Department had already been notified by Ding Yuan General Gongsun Zhi that he was coming, so they've been waiting for him this morning.
After Gu Qing Shan handed over the demon encyclopedia, the great cultivators all looked at it and praised it.
This is definitely a good thing, as it'll greatly affect the frontlines.
Gu Qing Shan received 100 Military Merit right away.
From [Xiao Qi] to [Zhen Wei] requires 180 Military Merit, so she's already halfway there.
Just like that, the pressure from the Destiny Quest was relieved a bit.
