Mortals ask the immortals

In the virtual space, Duan Qing sat beside the spirit gathering array, and deep purple lightning continuously burst out from his body and landed in the center of the spirit gathering array, a half-human-high bamboo shoot with a hint of light gold in the emerald green.

This bamboo shoot is the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.

After two years of cultivation by Duan Qing, and the daily uninterrupted cultivation of thunder magic, the current Heavenly Thunder Bamboo is a world apart from two years ago.

The scorched skin on the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo has long been shed and replaced by a light golden bamboo shell. On the top of the emerald green bamboo shoot, you can still see a few light golden bamboo leaves.

The purple lightning shot out from Duan Qing's body not only did not hurt the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo at all, but was directly absorbed by the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.

The Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, which absorbed Duan Qing's purple lightning, exuded a layer of light golden light on its surface, even overwhelmed Duan Qing's lightning, and turned a few feet into a golden ocean, giving people a sense of magic.

This situation lasted for about half an hour. After feeling that the lightning that the Tianlei Bamboo could absorb was almost saturated, Duan Qing stopped using the thunder method.

Looking at the Tianlei Bamboo with tender bamboo leaves growing on the top, Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes unable to conceal the excitement.

According to the current situation of the Tianlei Bamboo, it should not take long for it to grow into a tender bamboo.

Thinking about the cultivation over the past two years, Duan Qing felt quite emotional.

The fact is the same as he thought before. Thunder is indeed indispensable for the growth of Tianlei Bamboo.

In the past two years, he has consumed spiritual power to use the thunder method to cultivate Tianlei Bamboo every few days. After two years, although a huge amount of spiritual power has been consumed, the effect is also remarkable.

In addition, there is another thing that surprised Duan Qing.

In the process of cultivating Tianlei Bamboo with thunder method, Duan Qing found that the strength of his Shenxiao Thunder was constantly increasing.

Before using thunder method to cultivate Tianlei Bamboo, the color of the thunder method he used with Shenxiao Thunder was blue with light purple, but now, the color of his thunder method has completely turned into dark purple.

Duan Qing himself estimated that the strength of his thunder method was even stronger than the purple sky thunder of his senior brother back then, and as he continued to cultivate the sky thunder bamboo with thunder method, the strength of the Shenxiao thunder was still steadily increasing.

It was really hard for Duan Qing to imagine how much the Tianlei bamboo could improve its Shenxiao thunder in the end.

As for why this happened, Duan Qing and Wuhuji discussed and thought that it should be the golden light emitted by the Tianlei bamboo during its growth, which fed back to the Shenxiao thunder.

After observing the Tianlei bamboo for a while, Duan Qing left the virtual space with satisfaction and returned to the small domain of the training field.

Now, he basically stays in this small domain, and has not left this domain for almost half a year.

As soon as he returned to the small domain, Duan Qing immediately took out the talisman and prepared to report the growth of the Tianlei bamboo to Nanying.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to send messages to the outside world in the domain, but it is amazing that the talismans of the patrol team are not subject to this restriction. No matter which domain of the training field, they can contact the outside world.

In the past two years, Nan Ying kept her promise and did not let Duan Qing go on the mission. Duan Qing also followed the rules and reported to Nan Ying every three days on the growth of the Tianlei Bamboo.

During this period, in addition to listening to Duan Qing's report with the spirit talisman, Nan Ying also took the initiative to find Duan Qing three times and personally entered the virtual space to check the situation of the Tianlei Bamboo.

Overall, Nan Ying was quite satisfied with Duan Qing's cultivation.

After reporting the growth of the Tianlei Bamboo to Nan Ying, Duan Qing quickly got a reply from Nan Ying.

"Well, I know."

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

Nan Ying's tone was a little annoyed, as if she had encountered something bad.

Duan Qing inexplicably had an ominous premonition in his heart when he found that Nan Ying's tone was wrong.

After two years of getting along, he had some understanding of Nan Ying's temper. This was a person who was not very good at hiding his emotions.

"Please speak, Lord Nan Ying."

"I may not be able to fulfill the second condition you mentioned before!" Nan Ying's voice was helpless.

Duan Qing's face changed slightly, and his heart sank!

"What do you mean, Lord Nan Ying?"

The second condition he proposed to Nan Ying was to ask Nan Ying to transfer him to Xingyunjian during the patrol team transfer.

Compared to the other conditions he proposed, this one was the one that really mattered and was the reason why he was willing to deal with Nan Ying.

Now the transfer date is approaching, but Nan Ying can't even finish it!

"I just heard about this from the commander not long ago. Because of some things, Gaoque Camp lost the qualification to transfer to Xingyunjian this time, and was replaced by other garrisons on Wuxu Star."

"As for the reason, according to the information revealed by the commander, it may be due to some things that happened in the past two years." Nan Ying said this, and there was obviously a trace of regret in his tone.

What happened in the past two years!

Duan Qing's mind quickly became active, analyzing Nan Ying's words.

As far as he knew, including Gaoque Camp, there were about a thousand garrisons on Wuxu Star, with a total population of about 600,000.

The five-year deployment to Xingyunjian does not involve the transfer of personnel from every garrison. Instead, the top half of the thousands of garrisons are selected based on their performance. In other words, personnel are collectively transferred from the top 500 garrisons. Each garrison has about 20 teams with 100 people, totaling about 50,000 people.

These 50,000 people are the absolute elite of the Wuxu Star Patrol Team. After being deployed to Xingyunjian, they will be stationed for a period of five years.

As for the specific criteria used to determine the ranking of the thousands of patrol teams stationed on Wuxu Star, Duan Qing was not very clear.

Duan Qing only knew that Gaoque Camp had always been in the upper middle level among the thousands of patrol teams stationed. In the past hundred years, it had been deployed to Xingyun Gorge more than ten or twenty times, and almost never missed a single one.

Duan Qing had already inquired about this news when he was outside Gaoque Camp before joining it. Otherwise, he would not have joined Gaoque Camp, but would have switched to other patrol teams with higher rankings.

Nan Ying just said that the ranking of Gaoque Camp was affected by what happened in the past two years. Could it be... referring to the incident of the Sui people he and Hu Youwei met in the valley when they were on a mission two years ago?

Thinking of this, Duan Qing hurriedly asked: "May I ask Lord Nan Ying, do you know the specific details?"

Nan Ying, who was on the other side of the talisman, hesitated for a moment, and seemed not to want to explain so much to Duan Qing. After a while, Nan Ying finally spoke again.

"There are a total of 1,080 patrol stations on Wuxu Star. The patrol team leaders will rank each patrol station based on the performance of each patrol station in completing its tasks."

"You also know that each time the patrol team is transferred to Xingyunjian, it is based on the ranking of many patrol teams, and half of the top patrol teams are selected to transfer personnel."

"Gaoqueying has been ranked over 400 in recent years. According to this ranking, this transfer to Xingyunjian is a sure thing."

"But... the incident caused by the Sui people in Gaoquezhou two years ago caused my Gaoqueying's ranking to drop by more than 100 places!"
