Chapter 304: Preparations before the army enters the pass, the collective upgrade and breakthrough of the spirit beasts

“Commander-in-chief, with the current strength of our Renaissance Army, it is indeed time for us to march into the pass.”

“Yes! After three months of attack, we have completed the elimination of all the Tatar tribes along the Wuding River outside the Great Wall. We now have complete control over the sections of the two major rivers, the Wuding River and the Jialu River, outside the Great Wall.”

“With these two rivers leading directly to the interior of the country, our naval officers and soldiers can easily break through the checkpoints along the way and provide logistical support for our five main battle corps in a timely manner.”

“There are still two months until our entry into the country, so we need to complete all preparations as soon as possible.”…

As soon as Li Dingguo finished speaking, the five core leaders of the Fuxing Army present were all overjoyed.

They then put forward some suggestions of their own and worked together with Li Dingguo to perfect the plan.

After being away from home for so long, it is impossible to say that everyone did not feel suffocated and helpless in their hearts.

After three years, the Fusion Army finally accumulated enough strength to return to their hometown, and everyone was excited and happy.

The commander-in-chief was right. Since the extremely corrupt Ming Dynasty was destined to perish, it was better to perish at the hands of the Fuxing Army than to be destroyed by the Later Jin Tartars.

The sooner the Fuxing Army occupies a province in Qin, the less suffering the people of Qin will suffer.

Hongmei took out paper and pen, and with the powerful mental force, she wrote quickly and smoothly. It only took her about half an hour to finish a plan that everyone had discussed.

Everyone took turns expressing their ideas about the plan. Hongmei then improved the plan and finally finalized it.

An hour later, Hongmei, Cao Yongxiang, Wei Jinfan and Chang Liyun, each holding a copied plan, rode away quickly on a golden eagle or a black eagle.

Everyone needs to call their core generals together to implement this earth-shaking plan as soon as possible.

However, in order to keep it secret and to catch the enemy off guard after entering the pass, this plan will not be announced to the public for the time being, and will only be known to some core generals of the Restoration Army.

Only on February 2, the day when the army officially sets out, will all the soldiers heading south be notified.

During this year’s Spring Festival, it is estimated that the busiest department is not the logistics headquarters, but the Internal Affairs Department headed by Chang Liyun.

In order to completely eliminate the hidden dangers that may occur within the country after the army enters the pass, she must lead the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which has now expanded to a staff of 10,000 people, and with the help of thousands of three-tailed iron-backed demon wolves, conduct another thorough investigation of all the soldiers and civilians under the Renaissance Army.

It is impossible to say that there are no spies from various forces among the military and civilians, whose number has exceeded tens of millions.

Although they had been screened by the Ministry of Internal Affairs after leaving the country.

But the Dongtao Plain is so large that if the enemy is determined, it is easy to send some spies in.

……

“These five demon-luring grasses have not only bred hundreds of seedlings, but have also been nourished by a large amount of special life energy under the influence of the five-colored sacred tree’s true energy. Their medicinal properties have at least doubled now.”

Early in the morning of that day, after finishing his meditation, Li Dingguo came directly to a special spiritual field covered by a spirit gathering formation.

As expected, these five mature medicinal herbs fully met Li Dingguo’s requirements for refining blood pills with better efficacy.

There is only one word difference between Blood Vein Pill and Blood Spirit Pill, but there is a world of difference between the two.

The Blood Spirit Pill is a special elixir that Li Dingguo plans to refine for himself after he obtained the thousand-year-old blood ginseng in the first battle between Li Dingguo and the Tartars, the Ye family of Fuqing, and the white barbarians in Haojing.

He is still a long way from reaching the peak of level six cultivation, and it is far from the time for him to refine this crucial elixir.

The Blood Pill made with attractant herbs as the main ingredient is a top-grade elixir for monsters or spirit beasts. It has miraculous effects on any monsters and spirit beasts, but is ineffective against human practitioners.

Li Dingguo now decided to refine several furnaces of bloodline pills because his plan to march his troops south would be officially implemented soon.

At this critical moment, allowing the important spirit beasts of their own to gain a bloodline upgrade and a breakthrough in cultivation will undoubtedly be of greater help to the soldiers.

Among the Renaissance Army today, there are more than thirty top-grade dragon-scale horses, three best-grade dragon-scale horses, more than a hundred mid-grade dragon-scale horses, and even a thousand low-grade dragon-scale horses!

There are also hundreds of third-level spirit pigeons and thousands of second-level spirit pigeons.

There are also two top-grade spirit dogs, over a thousand level three iron-back magic wolves, and nearly ten level four magic wolves.

There are also three golden eagles and three black eagles.

Among so many spirit beasts, more than thirty of them are stuck at the peak level four, and thousands are stuck at the peak level three.

Even if Li Dingguo refined five furnaces of bloodline pills, he could only get forty-five at most, which was not enough for so many spirit beasts that were stuck in the bottleneck.

But no matter what, as long as more than thirty level four peak spirit beasts and more than ten level three peak spirit beasts can improve their bloodlines by taking bloodline pills, and then break through the bottleneck and advance to the next great realm, it will be a remarkable achievement.

Among them, the Military Intelligence Department and the Internal Affairs Department will benefit the most. Their strength will be doubled, and they will be able to do their jobs better. They will play an unimaginable role in promoting the security and development of the entire Renaissance Army.

Especially the two level 4 peak spirit dogs, Da Huang and Xiao Huang, who have accompanied Li Dingguo and Wan’er from Dingbian City three years ago to the present.

Li Dingguo and Wan’er’s feelings for these two top-grade spirit dogs are even stronger than for the three golden eagles.

Seeing them stuck at the peak of the fourth-level spirit beasts, I felt really bad.

Now that we see these five attractant herbs have completed their mission of mass reproduction, of course we have to use them as soon as possible to refine five furnaces of bloodline pills.

On this island in the middle of the lake, all the auxiliary spiritual medicines needed to refine five furnaces of bloodline pills can be found.

Among the elixir recipes that he obtained from the Human Emperor Cauldron, these auxiliary spiritual medicines are not simple either. All of them must be a hundred years old to meet the requirements.

This situation is very normal: the more magical the elixir is, the more stringent the conditions for refining it are.

For the vast majority of Qi Refining Realm practitioners, not to mention that you don’t know how to make pills, even if you know how to make pills, it would be difficult for you to obtain the magical tools and furnaces needed for making pills.

It is extremely difficult to gather all the spiritual herbs and roots needed to refine the Bloodline Pill.

Li Dingguo not only possesses the Human Emperor Cauldron, his life-defining divine artifact, but also has a complete inheritance of a primary alchemist, the Five-Colored Divine Tree, his magical life-defining spiritual root, and the new large spiritual vein on this island in the middle of the lake.

Only with so many prerequisites could he gather the spiritual herbs needed to refine a few furnaces of Bloodline Pills, and then successfully refine the Bloodline Pills.

Having decided to refine the Blood Pill today, Li Dingguo carefully dug out the five demon-luring herbs without any damage.

Then he spent some time on the island in the middle of the lake, collecting all the hundred-year-old elixirs recorded in the recipe, put them into the Human Emperor Cauldron he had just summoned, and leaped back to the mansion.

He said something to Wan’er, who was sitting on the trunk of the golden Bodhi tree and playing with Da Meng, and walked into the secret room where he usually practiced alchemy and refining.

The golden Bodhi tree where Wan’er and Da Meng had just been has also undergone tremendous changes.

Although it had only grown to about fifty meters in length, its size was several times larger than when it was transplanted by Li Dingguo from the Fan family’s old house in Jiexiu to the island in the middle of the lake in the base camp for planting.

Although this Bodhi tree is not one of those spiritual roots that are very tall, it is definitely not small.

The golden Bodhi tree, which is in its juvenile stage like the five-colored sacred tree, now exudes an aura that can temporarily increase a person’s understanding while they are meditating and practicing, and can easily bring the practitioner’s entire body’s energy and spirit to the peak state.

Although its other effects on practitioners are not yet clear, but just these two effects make it worthy of being an innate spiritual root.

Although this golden Bodhi tree is far less magical than his own spiritual root, the Five-Colored Divine Tree, it is much more magical than all the spiritual herbs and roots on this island in the middle of the lake except the Five-Colored Divine Tree.

This Bodhi tree can communicate with the Five-Colored Divine Tree. Judging from the mutual support between the two, it can be confirmed that it is an innate spiritual root, and a very good one. Because of concerns about whether it will have any accidents in the future, Li Dingguo had Wan’er refine it into her life spiritual root yesterday.

Unlike cultivators who can refine three innate magical instruments in their lifetime, all cultivators can only refine one innate spiritual root in their entire life.

Only spiritual roots of the innate level can be refined by practitioners to become their own natal spiritual roots and grow with them.

Li Dingguo once received a reward from his natal spiritual root, the Five-Colored Divine Tree, which enabled him to easily break through to the middle stage of level five. Now he has rapidly reached the peak of the middle stage of level five.

Other level five warriors often spend decades and find it difficult to break through even a small realm within level five. But for Li Dingguo, it is as easy as eating and drinking.

After Wan’er completed the process of recognizing the golden Bodhi tree as her master, she, who had never paid much attention to the tree before, would go to the tree to meditate, practice, or play whenever she had free time.

After entering the secret retreat room, Li Dingguo immediately sat cross-legged on the ground. With a thought, he enlarged the fist-sized cauldron in his hand to a radius of ten feet and gently dropped it on the ground in front of him.

He first used his divine sense to take out most of the various hundred-year-old elixirs from the cauldron, leaving only enough spiritual herbs and roots to refine a furnace of bloodline pills in the cauldron.

After a moment, Li Dingguo, who had adjusted his state, raised his hand and shot out a flower of his own life fire into the cauldron. He used his divine consciousness to activate the innate formation of this life artifact, and began to refine the blood pill with full concentration.

Without any surprises, nearly three hours later, five furnaces of full bloodline pills came out one after another, with nine pills in each furnace.

Li Dingguo’s mind moved, and he first took the Human Emperor Cauldron back into the sea of ​​​​gods. Then he stood up, holding a jade bottle containing all forty-five bloodline pills, and walked out of the secret retreat room.

Unexpectedly, Wan’er and Da Meng were still on the golden Bodhi tree, but this time they were not playing, but practicing.

This time, returning to the base camp, the island in the middle of the lake, the main purpose of both Da Meng and Wan’er was to prepare for a recent retreat, ready to break through to the middle stage of level five in one go.

Originally, Wan’er was going to start a retreat to break through before the New Year, but at the suggestion of Li Dingguo, she decided to consolidate her cultivation first, and use the extremely rich special life energy on the island in the middle of the lake to adjust her condition to the peak, and then go into retreat to break through in a safer way.

After all, if a level 5 practitioner fails to break through, the price he pays will be extremely heavy, and his own energy and spirit will be severely damaged.

Moreover, after spending a large amount of time recovering, the difficulty of another retreat and breakthrough would at least double.

It is precisely because the price a master of the Qi Refining Realm has to pay for each breakthrough is too high if he fails, that most Qi Refining Realm practitioners will think twice before making the decision to retreat and break through.

It is precisely because of this that so many Qi Refining masters are stuck in a small realm for years or even decades.

For practitioners in the Qi Refining Stage, the higher the level of cultivation, the higher the difficulty of breaking through and the cost of failing to break through.

Therefore, Li Dingguo’s warning to Wan’er was very reasonable.

Just like the current Da Jin, who has clearly obtained a blood mutation and upgrade, and has stayed on the island in the middle of the lake for more than two years, and has absorbed an unknown amount of special life energy emitted by the five-colored sacred tree, but still dares not to attack the sixth-level spirit beast.

There is no other reason. Before you are absolutely sure, you can’t afford the price of failure in breaking through.

Even if you fail to break through just once, you can basically declare that your journey has come to an end.

Today, the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty has improved several times compared to when it first met Li Dingguo.

I estimate it to be more than ten times!

Even so, it still doesn’t dare to retreat and break through now.

It is conceivable that the chasm from the peak of level five to the early stage of level six has stumped countless level five peak practitioners.

This is evident from the fact that none of the human forces today have produced any level six masters.

The first month of the new year is about to pass, and in a few days the army will set out to the south. Wan’er has decided to start a retreat and breakthrough with Dameng tomorrow.

That’s why she and Da Meng are so serious now and try hard to adjust their condition.

Seeing Li Dingguo come out of seclusion to make pills, Wan’er’s face lit up with joy. She flashed a few times and came in front of him, saying in surprise, “Brother, the bloodline pill you mentioned has been successfully refined!”

When she saw the large jade bottle in Li Dingguo’s hand, she could naturally guess that it contained the legendary rare elixir, the Bloodline Pill.

“Well, the alchemy process went very smoothly this time. All five furnaces were full of pills, and a total of 45 bloodline pills were obtained.”

As soon as Li Dingguo saw the expression on the girl’s face, he knew what she was thinking. “Go and call Da Huang and Xiao Huang, as well as all the peak level 4 spirit beasts and spirit birds on the island, including Xiao Jin.”

“I hope this legendary bloodline pill can help them break through the limitations of their bloodline or the current bottleneck of their cultivation, and break through to the fifth-level spirit beast in one fell swoop.”

Because he had decided to refine the Bloodline Pill a few days ago, he had already informed Wan’er and asked her to bring all the peak level four spirit beasts in the Renaissance Army back to the island in the middle of the lake.

“That’s great!”

“I will immediately call all the level 4 peak spirit beasts on the island, as well as the three level 5 golden eagles!”

As soon as Li Dingguo finished speaking, Wan’er jumped up from the ground with joy, and then used her skills to fly towards the spiritual beasts and birds that were practicing under the five-colored sacred tree.

Just after a while, three top-grade dragon-scale horses, a dozen high-grade dragon-scale horses, three big black eagles, three big golden eagles, three three-tailed iron-backed magic wolves, two spirit dogs, a total of more than thirty spirit beasts and birds, swarmed into the compound.

Looking at these spiritual beasts and birds, each of which was looking at him eagerly, Li Dingguo began to distribute bloodline pills to them one by one.

These egg-sized bloodline pills, as soon as they were taken out of the jade bottle, gave off a strong and refreshing fragrance with an extremely special aura, which immediately caused a commotion among the spirit beasts and birds that had the blood of divine beasts in their bodies!
These spirit beasts and birds have a perception countless times stronger than humans regarding elixirs that can resonate with their blood.

When Li Dingguo handed the pills to them, they couldn’t wait to swallow the bloodline pills in one gulp, then lay on the ground and worked hard to absorb and refine them.

As Li Dingguo and Wan’er were eagerly waiting and watching, in just a cup of tea, the aura of the two golden eagles, Xiaojin and Dameng, began to surge.

Then, the three top-grade dragon-scale horses also began to break through!

After a while, the two top-grade spirit dogs, Da Huang and Xiao Huang, also began to experience a surge in aura!

After about an hour, the three big black eagles, a dozen top-grade dragon-scale horses, and three iron-backed demon wolves also began to surge in aura, and began to break through their bloodlines and their own realms!
“No wonder, a herb that is far less effective than the Bloodline Pill can trigger a riot of monsters on the prairie!”

“The medicinal effect of this bloodline pill is really great for these spirit beasts!”

“Even Da Meng and Xiao Jin, two level five early stage spirit birds, were able to break through a small realm after taking a bloodline pill. This is simply unbelievable.”

Although these bloodline pills were made by himself, Li Dingguo was quite surprised that all the Qi Refining beasts he saw had their bloodlines sublimated and had breakthroughs in their cultivation realm.

Even he is like this, let alone Wan’er.

While the girl was happy, she was also somewhat stunned as she looked at the spirit beasts and birds whose auras were surging, and she was speechless for a long time.

This legendary blood pill can be described as a holy medicine for these spiritual beasts, its effect is so powerful.

Wan’er originally didn’t care much about the fact that a few monster-luring herbs triggered a round of monster riots.

Now that he had seen with his own eyes the miraculous effect of the Bloodline Pill, it was immediate and effective. Moreover, all the spirit beasts and birds that had taken the Bloodline Pill, except Da Jin, had successfully broken through their own cultivation and achieved a bloodline sublimation. Only then did he realize that he had greatly underestimated the magic of the Demon-Attracting Grass and the Bloodline Pill.

However, the various spiritual herbs and roots used to refine the Bloodline Pill are extremely rare, and each spiritual beast or bird is only effective after taking the first Bloodline Pill, which is a bit of a drawback.

Even with these restrictions, each pill of the rare Bloodline Pill is priceless.

No matter how rich you are, you can’t buy it.
