Seeing that Li Boyang not only showed no sign of backing down, but instead looked on with anticipation, Luo Kedi immediately praised him:
"As expected of the talent your senior brother has chosen. Don't rush, we'll set off in a month. There are a few details I need to tell you before we leave."
Li Boyang asked in confusion, "I wonder what we should be careful about?"
Luo Kedi said slowly, "For ordinary people, the Wasteland Battlefield may be a hellish battlefield, but for true geniuses, the Wasteland Battlefield is actually the best place to hone their skills."
"Once you arrive in the wilderness, you must do your best to earn military merits while ensuring your own safety."
Military merits?
Li Boyang was completely dumbfounded.
Luo Kedi continued:
"The war in the Wasteland is dangerous, but it is also full of opportunities. Hunting horned demons will earn you military merits, which can be exchanged for anything you want in the Human Alliance."
Only after Luo Kedi explained it did Li Boyang realize that participating in the conflict between the two tribes in the wilderness wasn't entirely without its benefits.
Killing Horned Demons in the Wasteland Battlefield earns military merits, which can be exchanged for valuable items at the Human Alliance's base in the Wasteland Battlefield.
Cultivation manuals, the mysteries of the Foundation Establishment stage, all sorts of miraculous pills, and cultivation resources with names he'd never even heard of—he could exchange any of these for military merits.
At the same time, Li Boyang also thought that if the military merits of the Wilderness Battlefield could be exchanged for so many treasures, then perhaps information about interdimensional conquest could also be obtained.
Thinking about this, Li Boyang was already feeling excited and couldn't wait to be hunting for military merits in the wilderness right now.
That makes sense when you think about it. Although the war between humans and horned demons is something that concerns every human race, if there isn't enough reward for those who actually contribute, who would be willing to risk their life?
Just like when two countries go to war in ancient times, the army should be rewarded before the battle even begins. If the battle is won, rewards should be distributed according to military merits. This is to keep the soldiers who participated in the war in high spirits.
As for the Human Alliance, this was another term that Li Boyang had never heard of before. Even Luo Kedi only had a vague understanding of it, only knowing that the various items exchanged for military merits were provided by the Human Alliance.
However, it can be seen from the literal meaning that it should be a power institution composed of the top human forces.
The battle in the Wasteland Warfield was under the unified command of the Human Alliance, and the Dongyang Faction was not the only one involved in this battle.
"The sect will provide you with a batch of resources for this expedition. Focus on your training for the next month and wait for further instructions from the sect."
After saying all this, Luo Kedi told Li Boyang some details to pay attention to before letting Li Boyang leave the Abyss.
He then continued to the other solitary confinement cells in the abyss, repeating what he had said to Li Boyang at least a dozen times that day.
After leaving the Abyss, Li Boyang didn't feel any particular emotion, since he had actually spent no more than a week in the solitary confinement room.
First, I went to the Mission Hall to collect the sect's annual subsidy in spirit stones, and then reported that I had entered the Qi Refining Realm.
Next, Li Boyang became an inner disciple and arrived at the courtyard assigned to him halfway up the mountain. Inner disciples are different; the environment halfway up the mountain is much better than at the foot of the mountain. Each Qi Refining Realm disciple has their own courtyard.
However, along the way, many courtyards are now empty. It is clear that most of the Qi Refining disciples have been sent to the wilderness to fight, and there are not many left in the sect now.
Just as Li Boyang was looking around his courtyard, a familiar yet annoying voice came from behind him.
"Li Boyang? I didn't expect you to still be alive. This is an inner sect disciple's place. How dare an outer sect disciple like you set foot here? Get down the mountain! Do you want me to lock you up again?"

Chapter 171 Showdown with the Ten Greats
"I wondered who was barking like a dog. It turns out to be you, you despicable person who used the Demon Moon Sect to frame your own sect's steward."
Li Boyang recognized the person speaking behind him just by the voice. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Zuoqiu Leshan.
The feud between the two dates back to a year ago. On the way back to the Dongyang Sect from Donghua Kingdom, Zuoqiu Leshan killed the steward Zhou Tong with the help of the Demon Moon Sect. Li Boyang couldn't stand it and cursed at the time.
Then, after returning to the Dongyang Sect, Zuoqiu Leshan used his influence to affect the Enforcement Hall's judgment on Li Boyang, resulting in him being imprisoned in the Abyss instead of being originally confined there, and only now has he been released.
If it weren't for Ye Qingwu's reminder during the interrogation at the Enforcement Hall, he would still be completely in the dark.
In response to Li Boyang's rude remarks, Zuoqiu Leshan coldly said:
"I'm afraid you haven't memorized the rules of the sect properly. Don't you know that if an outer disciple insults an inner disciple without asking why, the inner disciple can punish him on behalf of his master?"
After Zuoqiu Leshan finished speaking, he put his ten fingers together and twisted them slightly, making a crisp cracking sound. He was clearly planning to teach the other party a lesson.
Li Boyang smiled calmly and asked knowingly, "Oh? There's such a rule? I really didn't know that."
There was such a rule in the sect rules, which he naturally knew, but Zuoqiu Leshan obviously did not know that he was already an inner disciple, and he had no intention of telling him.
Upon hearing Li Boyang's reply, Zuoqiu Leshan slowly approached, a cruel glint in his eyes, and coldly said, "Don't remember? No problem, I'll have your master teach you again."
Sensing that he was being locked onto by a powerful aura, Li Boyang laughed and said, "If you want to teach me on behalf of my master, I'm afraid you're not qualified."
No sooner had Li Boyang finished speaking than Zuoqiu Leshan suddenly reached out with his tiger claws and grabbed at Li Boyang's right shoulder.
Li Boyang had already sensed that the other party was about to make a move and had been on guard. As soon as Zuoqiu Leshan made his move, he suddenly took a step back and tilted his shoulder slightly.
Zuoqiu Leshan grabbed at nothing with his claw.
The next moment, Li Boyang's left hand naturally grasped Zuoqiu Leshan's wrist, and he said with a smile:
"I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation.'"
As soon as he finished speaking, his left hand, which was gripping Zuoqiu Leshan's wrist, suddenly trembled, and the Taiji Entangling Silk Force was activated instantly, wrapping around Zuoqiu Leshan's arm.
"What? You've already broken through to the Qi Refining Realm?"
