Chapter 1540: Boarding the Ship

On the same day, Zhang Xuan passed 3 Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones to Bu Yueling through the Ten Directions Star Storage Order, asking her to preserve the combat power of the Immortal Gourd Realm.

A few spirit stones were nothing to him. After all, the Immortal Gourd Realm was his big workshop.

Now most of the cultivators in the Immortal Gourd Realm have been trained by him to become cultivators of all arts.

It would be a pity if such a monk died on the battlefield.

It can be said that the Immortal Gourd Realm is now his foundation. As long as the Immortal Gourd Realm exists, he can continuously earn more spirit stones.

As for Fairy Ling Chen, she is in the late stage of Lianxu cultivation. If she wants to be exempted from military service, she needs to pay 5 Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones.

Zhang Xuan also directly and generously helped Fairy Ling Chen to pay over the 5 Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones.

After some thinking.

I'm afraid Zhang Xuan can't escape military service in this war.

With the Mercenary Alliance's old guys around, he can't leave even if he wants to.

Since most of the monks in the Mercenary Alliance could not afford so many spirit stones, all of them had to participate in the battle.

More than 50 people are at the level of Lianxu and more than 2000 people are at the level of Huashen, all of them are participating in the battle.

In addition, some independent cultivators who had no strength to rely on were also in a state of panic. Those who could raise spirit stones were naturally happy, while those who could not were full of worries and began to look for forces to rely on or join.

After all, we all come from Broken Sky City, and we can still keep each other warm. If I go to serve in the military as an individual cultivator, I don’t know which team I will be assigned to.

These independent cultivators also had a keen eye. The first team they chose was the team led by Ye Xingchen from the Jiuyou Sect, who had reached the level of half-step fusion.

Ye Xingchen himself could not come up with 20 Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones, so he had to participate in this battle in person.

These wandering cultivators were naturally very happy to have a half-step fusion cultivator to take care of them.

The Ling family, which started out with formations, the Puppet Sect, which started out with puppets, and the Lingyu Feimeng, which is composed of talents in hundreds of arts. These three major forces are all wealthy, and most of them paid spirit stones to be exempted from military service.

Only a small number of Nascent Soul cultivators and most of the Spirit Transformation cultivators participated in this war.

Moreover, when these three forces participating in the war were combined, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators reached more than 50, and they directly formed a small team, led by a late Nascent Soul cultivator from the Puppet Sect who had a short lifespan.

As for the Ye family, which started out as a sword-cultivating family, in addition to a few Void-Refining cultivators who took out spirit stones to be exempted from military service, there were also more than 50 Void-Refining cultivators who participated in this war and formed a team.

On the side of the Mercenary Alliance, more than 50 Void Refining cultivators, including Zhang Xuan, formed a team to participate in this battle.

There is also the refining force under the ancestor Rong Xiao, including the Heavenly Guards and the City Government. Many cultivators are unable to pay so many spirit stones to be exempted from military service, so they also formed a small team, led by Ling Fengzi.

As the manager of the entire Broken Sky City, who is above everyone else and second only to the ancestor Rong Xiao, Ling Fengzi has accumulated considerable wealth and can pay spirit stones to be exempted from this military service.

But Ancestor Rongxiao disagreed. The Heavenly Guards and the City Palace Bureau were the hard work of Ancestor Rongxiao, and only Ling Fengzi could suppress the formation.

If Ling Fengzi hadn't gone, it's not certain how many of the Tianshenwei and Chengfusi would have been able to come back alive.

Therefore, Patriarch Rongxiao asked Ling Fengzi to participate in this battle.

The entire Broken Sky City is composed of five teams.

Among them, the Jiuyou Sect led by Ye Xingchen, and the Tianshenwei and Chengfusi led by Ling Fengzi, these two teams are the most popular among the independent cultivators.

Many independent cultivators who could not afford the spirit stones required for exemption from military service joined these two teams.

Naturally, these two teams welcomed everyone who came.

After all, once on the battlefield, the greater the power of refining emptiness, the higher the chance of survival.

In addition, the Ye family is well-known for its sword cultivators, with extraordinary combat power, and many independent cultivators have joined.

The team with the least number of independent cultivators is the one composed of the Ling Family, the Lingyu Flying Alliance, the Puppet Sect, and the Mercenary Alliance.

The team led by Ye Xingchen of Jiuyou Sect and the team led by Ling Fengzi originally had no more than 50 Qi-refining cultivators. Later, a large number of Qi-refining cultivators joined, and the number basically reached two or three hundred Void-refining cultivators.

Although the mercenary alliance led by Zhang Xuan has fewer independent cultivators, it is still larger than the other teams.

There are more than 20 people who have joined the mercenary alliance led by Zhang Xuan, including some familiar faces, such as Green-haired Turtle, Slug, Medicine Jar, and Waste Picker.

The last time we went together to explore the old site of the Divine Realm, except for Lai Piqiu and Black Loach, the others basically came to find Zhang Xuan.

The reason why Lai Piqiu didn't come was because as a sixth-level alchemist, he was worth a lot of money and directly paid a large amount of spirit stones to be exempted from military service.

Black Loach is a guest official of the Puppet Sect, so he must join the Puppet Sect team.

The reason why these familiar faces joined the Mercenary Alliance team was naturally because of Zhang Xuan's face.

After all, Zhang Xuan and these people have established a very deep friendship at the old site of the Divine Domain, so they can take care of each other on the battlefield.

Of course, in addition to these familiar faces, there are also some relatively unfamiliar ones, some independent cultivators who have only been heard of, such as Jiuyou Demon Princess, Taixu God, etc., among whom there are even several cultivators in the late stage of Lianxu.

These people joined not because of Zhang Xuan, but because the management of the mercenary alliance was relatively loose.

When performing some dangerous tasks, it is not a bad idea to just escape.

After all, the monks of the Mercenary Alliance are notoriously afraid of death, and the leader of the Mercenary Alliance is only in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, so he is easy to control.

There are quite a few cultivators who have this idea, especially the few cultivators in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm who joined later.

This was indeed beyond Zhang Xuan's expectations.

The entire mercenary alliance team has about 80 people, ranking above the team composed of the Ling family, Lingyu Flying Alliance, and Puppet Sect.

Second only to the Ye family’s one hundred Void-Refining cultivators.

The teams led by Ye Xingchen and Ling Fengzi have about 300 Void Refining cultivators each, and they can be said to be on par with each other.

Soon, the monks from Broken Sky City who wanted to join the military service gathered together.

A total of 5 teams were formed, among which there were about 1000 Void Refining cultivators and tens of thousands of Spirit Transformation cultivators.

Zhang Xuan was also deeply shocked by the strength displayed by Broken Sky City.

I didn’t expect that there would be so many Void Refining cultivators in this place where wandering cultivators gathered.

Moreover, this is the amount left after some people paid the spirit stones to be exempted from military service.

If the remaining Void Refining cultivators were included, the number would probably reach more than 2000.

Seeing that Ancestor Rongxiao's Broken Sky City was able to mobilize so many cultivators to participate in this war, Yunxiao Shuizun from Yuanliu Taoist Palace also nodded with satisfaction.

"Now, get on board!"

At a command from Yunxiao Shuizun, a large group of monks immediately flew into the spacecraft.
