Chapter 224: Southern Expedition, Bai Family

Matters concerning the art of war.

There is no need to doubt Xu Wencai’s attainments.

Chen Sanshi already had a plan in mind.

He confirmed again: “Yes, it is two years.”

Even if there is a deviation, it cannot exceed three to four years.

The longer you delay, the harder it will be to fight in the future.

The continuous wars have brought enormous harm to the people.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Doing everything possible to end the war as soon as possible will benefit everyone.

“If you want a quick victory, then our Northern Liang Army must find a way to move south and enter the Central Plains as soon as possible.”

After Xu Wencai pondered for a while, he spoke again: “If the Northern Liang army wants to enter the Central Plains, there are two ways.

“Either, we can go all the way to Youzhou or Yunzhou and take the wide official road south, or take the Hongze River on the border of Youzhou. But not to mention that Dongqing is eyeing Yunzhou covetously, several important passes to the south have long been blocked by the court. If we want to take the normal route, we will have to keep fighting, which will not only take time, but also cause great loss of food, fodder and manpower.

“Another way is to cross the Luotian Mountains, go out from the plank road on the cliff of Qilin Mountain, and then attack Chunqiu Prefecture.

“But if we can think of it, the court can naturally think of it too.

“So, the plank road must have been burned down by them a long time ago. Even if it is rebuilt, it will be constantly damaged. Not to mention, Cao Rong, the Prince of Zhennan, and others are now gathered in the ‘Chunqiu Mansion’, the only way to enter the pass after leaving the plank road. It is also a dead end.”

Northern Liang moved south.

It was never easy.

if not.

The imperial court would not have allowed Sun Xiangzong to command so many troops in Beiliang. On the one hand, he was really needed to suppress the barbarians. On the other hand, rebellion was not that easy.

The Luotian Mountains are a treasure trove of resources for those who practice martial arts, and are also a natural barrier between the northern border and the Central Plains.

“Junior brother.”

Cheng Wei tapped on his abacus and finally suggested, “Otherwise, let’s do it step by step as Mr. Xu said. It’s not easy for us to enter the pass, but it’s not difficult to take Yanzhou in the west and Yunzhou in the east.

“Especially in the current situation, Dongqing and Xiqi only have Mangshan in their eyes and are unlikely to pay too much attention to us.

“When we take over the four northern states, and drag it out for three to five years, it will be much easier to enter the pass, both in terms of manpower and food supplies.”

The man in white robe did not respond.

They knew that no one could persuade them.

“My Lord, it’s not that I don’t have the ambition to make progress.”

Xu Wencai once again pointed out the difficulties: “We don’t have enough food and manpower. Yanzhou is easy. If you lead the troops yourself, we can take it within two months. But after that, we will inevitably face an attack from Dongqing. We need to allocate at least half of our troops to deal with it. In this case, we will have even less manpower and food to take the Qilin Mountain plank road and attack Chunqiu Prefecture.”

“If the plank road is blocked, then don’t go!”

Chen Sanshi suddenly said: “If we have no food, then Chunqiu Mansion will have no food either!”

“Your Excellency means…”

Xu Wencai’s feather fan fell on the map. There was a city behind Chunqiu Mansion. The three big characters “Hongdu Mansion” were clearly marked on the yellow map.

Hongdu Prefecture is right behind Chunqiu Prefecture.

It is also the only way for transporting grain from the Central Plains to the northern border.

If we could take Hongdu Prefecture, it would be like driving a nail into the grain route of the imperial court, and Chunqiu Prefecture would become an isolated city.

“But the problem is.”

Wang Zhi stroked the hilt of his sword and said, “Hongdu Mansion is behind Chunqiu Mansion, so you can’t get around Chunqiu Mansion unless you fly over there. Even if you fly over there, your soldiers can’t fly over there either.”

“Beside Qilin Mountain there is a mountain with poisonous miasma, named Yinping Mountain.”

Chen Sanshi looked at the map and said, “Yinping Mountain is rugged and difficult to travel, stretching for hundreds of miles, but ‘Hongdu Prefecture’ is just outside Yinping Mountain, so – we will ‘openly repair the plank road and secretly cross Yinping’, relying on the dense lushness and miasma of Yinping Mountain as a cover to reach ‘Hongdu Prefecture’ and cut off their food supply. Beiliang has no food and grass, so let them have no food and grass, and we will all starve together!”

“Junior brother.”

Cheng Wei was even more confused: “You said that Yinping Mountain is rugged and difficult to travel, and it is surrounded by miasma. It is impossible for a large cavalry army to pass through.”

“Then no need for cavalry.”

Chen Sanshi had already calculated: “The medicinal materials in the Liangzhou warehouse can make enough miasma pills for 7,000 people. These 7,000 people will walk with me over the mountains and reach Hongdu Prefecture!”

Sneak across Yinping and reach Hongdu directly!
“You are so brave to think of this.”

Ninth Senior Sister Rong Yanqiu was somewhat speechless, and then calmly analyzed: “There is another problem. Even if you succeed and take over Hongdu Prefecture, you will still face a crazy counterattack from the Chunqiu Prefecture army. You are going to use 7,000 people to face an enemy army that may be more than 100,000?!”

“Seven thousand people, enough!”

Chen Sanshi’s statement was shocking.

He asked, “Xu Wencai, after Yanzhou is pacified, I will hand over more than 90% of the military officers and soldiers and food to you. How soon can you take care of Yunzhou and attack Chunqiu Prefecture to support Hongdu?”

“Five months.”

Xu Wencai held up his feather fan and said, “Within five months, I will pacify Yunzhou, and then the entire army will attack Chunqiu!”

“Okay! It’s settled!”

Chen Sanshi began to recruit soldiers:

“Xu Wencai, listen to my orders! From today on, you will send people to Qilin Mountain day and night to repair the plank road and dispatch the army to make a feint attack.

“Cheng Wei, listen up! Recruit all pharmacists and doctors to prepare anti-malaria pills. They must be prepared within two months. No mistakes!

“Rong Yanqiu, listen to my orders. You are to lead 40,000 soldiers to defend Youzhou. You are only allowed to defend and not attack. You are not allowed to lose a single city.

“Wang Zhi, Wei Xuan, Song Guizhi, and Ye Fengxiu, listen to my order. The four of you will come with me to lead the Hongze Camp and the Daji Camp to Yanzhou, attack the three camps, and intimidate Xiqi!”

“The last general takes command!”

“Less bald ass.”

Rong Yanqiu gritted his teeth and cursed: “At that time, the three-surnamed servant took Bald Donkey away under the pretext of retreating hostages, and there has been no news since then.”

Wang Zhi shook his head: “It’s probably refined!”

“Ugh”

Deployment completed.

Everyone in Beiliang, from top to bottom, began to enter into meticulous operations.

November of the seventy-sixth year of the Longqing reign.

Chen Sanshi in white robe took advantage of the fact that the defenders of Yanzhou were being attacked from both sides by “Northern Liang” and “Western Qi” and led his troops to launch a surprise attack on Yanzhou. He killed Yu Linxing, the former commander of the Tiance Camp, and took the Tiance Camp and 20,000 garrison soldiers of Yanzhou under his command.

Late November.

Chen Sanshi in white robe began to confront Xiqi.

However, the Western Qi army had already been frightened by the white robes in the Battle of Guandu. Just ten days later, on the advice of the commander “Zhong Wuxin”, they retreated without a fight and retreated to Mingzhou.

The man in white robe ordered Ye Fengxiu to lead the Tiance Camp and the Yanzhou Guards to guard the Jianmen Gorge at the border of Mingzhou and Yanzhou and completely block it.

This is the end.

The three states of Liang, You and Yan were ruled by the White Robe. Wherever they went, they pulled out the crops and punished the treacherous and corrupt officials. The people of the country were at peace with them.

After the Battle of Yanzhou ended.

Under strict arrangements, the Northern Liang army began to repair the plank roads in public, but secretly mobilized the army to prepare to enter Youzhou and raid Yunzhou.

During the preparation process, the entire Beiliang was silent, just like the calm before a storm.

The Governor’s Mansion.

Inside the cave in the back mountain.

Spirit beads emitting spiritual energy were placed on the stone platform, and Zhaozhao and Ningxiang were concentrating on their cultivation.

In the stone house next door, there is an alchemy furnace.

Chen Sanshi is making elixir.

As for the raw material Linghe.

He has his own farmland.

The Governor’s Mansion had a thousand acres of fertile land. When Sun Xiangzong was alive, he distributed most of it to the landless people, but the remaining hundred acres of land were enough for Chen Sanshi to use. Besides, the spiritual crops that were uprooted along the way would not be used up in a short time.

As a raw material, Linghe itself has no problems.

But when it is passed on to every civilian, it becomes a poison.

“Buzz, rumble—”

The alchemy furnace in front of him began to vibrate continuously as it was engulfed by the red flames. Chen Sanshi maintained the state of forming seals and casting spells, infusing magic power into it. At the same time, he used his spiritual sense to sense and control the “great changes” in the furnace.

Not long after.

The flame went out, the formation disappeared, the alchemy furnace opened and floated on its own, leaving a few dark green pills inside the furnace.

Zhenwu Pill!
Back then, I reached a deal with a martial arts practitioner from the Bai family at the Yulongji in Dazefang City. Now, two or three years have passed, and it is time to deliver the ten Zhenwu Pills that I promised, and by the way, try to buy the pills needed by martial artists in the early stage of Zhenli from the Bai family.

To know.

While he was planning to march southward into the Pass in Beiliang, the old emperor was also preparing to build his foundation.

Both sides are competing for time.

Chen Sanshi must seize the time to practice, to ensure that even if he fails to enter the pass, he will have enough strength to guarantee the safety of Beiliang, and then proceed slowly.

of course.

This time, I won’t waste too much time on my trip to the world of immortal cultivation.

In the next few days he will be able to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining, and then he will be able to fly.

Once he returns from the world of immortal cultivation, Beiliang’s march south can officially begin.

Thinking like this.

Chen Sanshi put away all the Zhenwu Pills, and then began to refine the “Qingling Pill” which was specifically designed for people in the early stage of Qi Refining to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining. All the raw materials were prepared in advance.

He was already familiar with the process of alchemy.

It is nothing more than adding water first, then adding spiritual herbs, and then adding other raw materials according to the temperature, and finally coordinating the alchemy fire to transmit magic power into the formation of the alchemy furnace, and then using spiritual consciousness to control the subtle changes of the avenue.

Refining elixirs that have never been refined before.

As expected, it failed several times in succession.

Fortunately, as his technique became more and more skilled, he finally succeeded in refining a Qingling Pill.

[Skill: Alchemy (Level 1)]

【Progress: 56/500】

A long time ago.

Chen Sanshi is already a first-level alchemist.

But after that, continuing to refine a pill will not improve your proficiency much, but this is not something to be rushed, just take your time.

The Qingling Pills previously seized from other cultivators have been consumed.

This one is the only one.

Chen Sanshi put it into his mouth, and it immediately turned into a stream of clear air that flowed into his abdomen, and then penetrated his limbs and bones. He closed his eyes and began to practice the “Fire Swallowing Technique”.

The fire spirit root was like a whirlpool, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy in the cave.

After being refined layer by layer, it is stored in the Dantian.

now.

There were already three wisps of mist representing spiritual power in Chen Sanshi’s dantian. When he was about to condense the fourth wisp, it always dissipated at the critical moment, as if there was an invisible shackle that could never be broken through.

It was not until with the blessing of the Qingling Pill that the condensed spiritual power became more solid, until the fourth wisp of mist condensed.

“Crack!”

The invisible shackles are opened and the realm is broken through.

[Kung Fu: Fire Swallowing Technique. Fourth Level of Qi Refining]

【Progress: 0/1200】

[Effect: Medium-grade fire spirit root]

It was at the moment of realm breakthrough.

The fire spirit root in Chen Sanshi’s body began to grow, just like a sacred tree in the spiritual world that obtained excellent nutrients. It continued to grow taller at a speed visible to the naked eye and became more and more luxuriant.

Breakthrough from low-grade spiritual roots to medium-grade spiritual roots!
He did not interrupt his practice, but carefully felt the changes in his practice speed, and found that it was much faster!

A single middle-grade spiritual root is enough to become an inner sect disciple even in any large sect. At this rate, the subsequent improvement speed of the “Fire Swallowing Art” is likely to be much faster than the martial arts realm.

“call!”

After a long time.

Chen Sanshi opened his eyes again and slowly exhaled.

[Kung Fu: Fire Swallowing Technique. Fourth Level of Qi Refining]

【Progress: 20/1200】

……

[Magic: Ten Thousand Swords from the Sky. Level 2]

【Progress: 1155/2000】

……

[Spell: Thick Earth Technique (Mastery)]

【Progress: 521/1000】

……

[Skill: Archery. Perfection (Breaking Limit Level 3)]

[Progress: (1000/2000)]

Recently, Chen Sanshi has been conquering Yanzhou, but he has not neglected the practice of various skills.

He then took out an orange-yellow jade token from his arms.

This is the “True Talisman Book” left behind by the military genius Han Xiang.

It records the drawing methods of four first-level talismans: “Giant Strength Talisman”, “Super Speed ​​Talisman”, “Doppelganger Talisman” and “Wind-Proof Talisman”, which can basically be used to assist in combat.

That is when I was carefully examining the ancient characters on the jade token.

A panel that had been silent for a long time floated up again.

[Skill: Reading (Great Achievement)]

[Progress: (0/2000)]

【Effect: Bodhi Enlightenment】

【Bodhi Enlightenment: Enhance your understanding】

Chen Sanshi read the “True Talisman Classic” again and had a deeper understanding of its contents. He basically understood how to operate it after reading it once. He took out the materials left by Han Xiang on the spot and began to draw talismans.

Special talisman paper, talisman pen and special blood-red ink.

You will still fail at first.

Because drawing talismans is like refining pills. Not only does it require enough comprehension to understand the operation, but it also requires sufficient spiritual awareness.

Fortunately, as an alchemist, Chen Sanshi was already quite good at refining his spiritual consciousness. After just a few days, he successfully drew one for each of the four talismans.

[Skill: Drawing Talismans (Level 1)]

【Progress: 0/500】

【Effect: Complete in one go】

[Complete in one go: A talisman of the corresponding level can be completed in one go as long as it succeeds once, and will not fail again.]

One more identity.

First-level talisman master!

There are hundreds of arts in cultivating immortals, especially elixirs, weapons, talismans and arrays. As long as one can master one of them, he will have the ability to survive in the world of immortals. However, Chen Sanshi can basically learn it in one go. He does not need to spend years or even decades to learn it like the cultivators do.

Put everything away.

Chen Sanshi picked up the spear again and began to practice the “Dragon Sutra”.

Unknowingly.

It has been half a year since I came back from Guandu, and my martial arts level has naturally improved.

The Fire Breathing Technique was performed, and bursts of Fire Power burst out, transforming into flames that wrapped around the Longdan Silver Spear, turning it into a red-flame fire dragon that swam in the cool and refreshing cave. The temperature also rose sharply, as if it had come from winter to hot summer.

Every time Chen Sanshi breathed, he could accurately inhale the spiritual energy in the cave into his lungs, and then continuously refine it through his skills, circulating it through his meridians and tempering his body.

A white light gradually lit up on the right side of his chest, from tiny dots at first, to a white lantern, and then from a lantern to a blazing white sun.

Jingshen, the hole opens!

Lung God!

His name is Su Lingsheng, his courtesy name is Daoping, he is eight inches and one inch tall, and he wears white clothes!

Two of the eight gods of the central region have been revealed.

[Kung Fu: Dragon Sutra (Early Stage of True Power)]

【Progress: 125/500】

Slow speed!

There are still six Jingshen left before one can enter the middle stage of true power.

It seems that I must go to Ozefang Market.

“Little fool.”

Chen Sanshi came to the practice room and tapped her forehead: “Pack up and get ready to go out.”

Speaking of Ningxiang and Zhaozhao.

These two women have surprisingly good talents in cultivation.

In addition, Chen Sanshi was not stingy with the extra resources he seized from the cultivators. With all these factors added together, they had actually reached the third level of Qi Refining.

Ningxiang is about to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Zhao Zhao had just broken through to the third level of Qi Refining.

Before leaving.

Chen Sanshi made some more arrangements.

First of all.

He drew a few talismans of clones and gave them to Ningxiang.

Every few days, Ningxiang would activate one and let “Chen Sanshi” show up in the military camp.

Also.

He also transferred Wei Xuan and Song Guizhi back to look after the house.

These two people will now practice next to the cave, and have both broken through to the early stage of the true power realm. In addition, the enemy army has not yet been fully deployed, so there is no problem for them to guard the house.

After arranging everything.

Chen Sanshi came to Fufeng Pavilion and said goodbye to his family.

In the courtyard.

Chen Duhe, who is almost four years old, is crying again. The reason is that a few days ago, he directed the howling golden beast under his command to play a prank and almost bit a maid in the mansion. After Lan Jie’er said a few words to him, he became like this.

As for the daughter, she is not very courageous but very well-behaved. Apart from reading and learning to read, she helps her mother plant some flowers and plants, learns to do housework, and gets along very well with the “Roaring Golden Beast”.

Sometimes her words were even more effective than Chen Duhe’s. That day, it was because she stopped the Roaring Golden Beast in time that the maid was prevented from suffering any substantial harm.

Although this girl is timid, she often goes to the mountains to pick some flowers and plants.

Chen Sanshi scolded his son, “If you act bossy and bully the people in our house, I’ll throw you to the mountain to feed the insects! Well, wait until I’m done with this period of work, and then I’ll discipline you! Xixi, keep an eye on your brother. If he makes trouble again, just teach him a lesson.”

“Daddy, don’t be angry. I will take good care of my brother.”

Chen Yunxi said in a soft voice.

“correct.”

Chen Sanshi suddenly remembered something: “Have you seen Mr. Mei again recently?”

Chen Yunxi shook his head.

“Ok.”

Chen Sanshi didn’t ask any more questions.

He still hasn’t figured out how to use the power in the black bead. It seems he still has to figure it out slowly.

Mention this.

Ever since he started his army and occupied the three states, the mysterious energy in the black pearl has increased incredibly fast. After accumulating for a period of time, he will definitely be able to use the more powerful formations in the Heavenly Book.

After seeing the child, Chen Sanshi returned to the back mountain, waved his hand and took out a leaf-shaped flying magic weapon from his storage ring. Then he formed seals with his hands and injected magic power into it. The magic weapon immediately glowed and floated into the air.

It was also his first time to fly an object, and the flight was bumpy at first, and he almost dropped the little fool from the sky several times.

But after just a cup of tea, he mastered the skill.

[Skill: Air Control (Beginner)]

【Progress: 0/500】

[Effect: Continuous Flow]

[Endless Flow: Greatly reduces the mana consumption caused by flying in the air]

Flying a magical tool also requires the consumption of mana.

With the effect of the entry, the number of rest times can be reduced, thereby shortening the round-trip time again.

Chen Sanshi had calculated carefully that with such a large-scale troop mobilization, the imperial court would have to wait until he returned to gather all the troops, and only then would the war truly begin.

……

Central Plains.

There are four people, namely King Zhennan, Lingyun, Daoxuan Sanren and Li He, and they are still in the process of recruiting soldiers.

This expedition was to suppress the rebellion in Northern Liang.

The imperial court mobilized a total of 400,000 people. If the conscripted civilians are included, the number would reach one million, basically mobilizing most of the troops in the Central Plains.

Of course, it is not just about dealing with Beiliang, but also about sending troops to attack Dongqing.

The number of soldiers and horses that finally gathered in Chunqiu Prefecture was probably around 200,000.

But that would be one to two months later, and now not all of them have arrived. Only four monks have arrived in the rear and started making arrangements in advance, waiting to officially set out.

“That Chen Sanshi is very difficult to deal with.”

Ling Yun carefully learned about Bai Pao’s battle record in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and felt his scalp tingling: “When this man was in the Transcendent Realm, he could actually kill 10,000 enemies without being exhausted?! Now that he is in the True Strength Realm, can he kill 20,000?!”

Looking at the world, whether it is a magic cultivator or a martial artist, is there anyone who is not exhausted? !
“The four of us must not be separated!”

Daoxuan said solemnly: “Together we live, divided we die, we must work together to kill this beast.”

“Chirp—”

During the conversation.

A Saker Falcon flew into the military camp.

Not long after, a soldier came to report: “Your Highness! The Beiliang rebels are gathering outside Qilin Mountain, and have sent a large number of people to repair the plank road that was burned down in advance by the Chunqiu Prefecture garrison.”

“…”

Cao Rong, the Prince of Zhennan, had dark eyes. He took the battle report and read it through himself, then crushed it into powder, emphasizing each word: “Well done!”

……

Ends of the world!

Nowadays, there is war everywhere.

Even though Chen Sanshi was flying in the air, he encountered monks from other sects several times on the way, but he basically avoided them by taking detours. The only one he could not avoid, he was forced to kill, take away its storage bag, and then burn it to ashes.

The island was exceptionally quiet.

After several explorations, Chen Sanshi confirmed that there was no danger before he entered Tianshuizhou through the ancient teleportation array.

He gave up his identity as Zhang Laizi and casually changed his face to an ordinary one, then applied it to the little fool’s face and changed her face as well, although it didn’t make much sense.

Chen Sanshi then did not waste any time and went straight to the black market on the lake island in Dazefang City, where he found the small dark room where he had bought the “Fire Swallowing Technique” last time. The sign at the door read “Recycling of second-hand magic tools.”

“Haha~”

Inside the house, a mysterious businessman wearing a mask said with a half-smile: “Fellow Daoist, what do you want to exchange for?”

“I have some second-hand magic tools here, the quantity may be quite large.”

Chen Sanshi asked, “I wonder if you can eat it?”

“You are joking, my friend.”

The masked man was about to open his mouth to speak, but suddenly he was speechless.

because……

I saw a monk in a black robe in front of me pouring out a table full of magical instruments from his storage bag. There were so many of them that I couldn’t tell them apart for a moment.

His pupils under the mask trembled noticeably, and then he stood up suddenly.

Chen Sanshi repeated: “How is it, can you take it?”

The masked monk quickly stood up, opened the window of the wooden house, and looked outside for a long time. After confirming that there was no one nearby, he turned around and asked, “Who are you? Did you destroy an entire sect?!”

He was horrified.

to be frank.

Everyone knows what goes on in the black market.

The so-called second-hand magic tools, elixirs, etc., are nothing more than the proceeds from the battles between cultivators, or from robbing and killing cultivators. They are taken to the black market to be processed in order to remain secret.

To put it bluntly, there are basically no good people here.

But even though Duan Silu had been in the black market for many years, this was the first time he had seen someone ship such a large volume.

After a brief demonstration, Chen Sanshi put everything back into the storage bag: “Do you want it or not?”

“Yes, of course!”

Duan Silu said this and began to count the items one by one.

“A low-grade flying sword, the recycling price is ten spirit stones.”

“A low-grade magical golden sword, the price for the purchase is…”

“…”

After the final inventory, there were dozens of magical instruments with a total value of one thousand spirit stones, and the payment was made on the spot.

After leaving the black market, Chen Sanshi changed his appearance again, and came to the shopping area of ​​Dazefang City with a large amount of spirit stones. As soon as he walked into the street, he saw wanted posters and his own portraits posted everywhere.

【Wanted: Chen Sanshi】

[Reward Mission: 100-year residence right in a top-grade cave, spiritual objects for foundation building, 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones…]

[Mission location: Dongsheng Shenzhou]

[Realm requirements: Qi Refining Level 12 or above, Martial Arts True Strength or above, those who have led troops to fight in the mortal world will receive an additional reward]

It’s not just Chen Sanshi himself.

Even his senior brothers and sisters were on the list, but the reward amounts seemed pitiful in comparison, and basically no one gave them a second glance.

This is……

The entire sect is being targeted!
Moreover, this cannot be said to be a disaster left by the master. Some things are simply unavoidable.

At first.

If the master had not sealed the ancestral veins of the ends of the earth in time, after the seal of heaven and earth was destroyed, the cultivators of higher realms would immediately control the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou.

By then, not to mention that the spiritual crops in people’s fields will increase directly from 10% to 50%, even the old emperor will not be able to escape the fate of becoming a puppet and being controlled forever.

Everyone must live under the rule of immortals.

Chen Sanshi also has to find a way to rent a spiritual cave and live carefully, which means that when everything returns to Poyang, he will have to go through the same path again. Not to mention the difficulties, the risks alone are huge.

Maintaining the status quo in Dongsheng Shenzhou would be of great benefit to him, the people, and even the enemies of Shenzhou.

Moreover, the current chaos among the nations was also instigated by the immortal cultivation world.

They wanted to fight for the spiritual veins themselves, and ended up commanding the mortals of Shenzhou to go to the battlefield and die.

Just as Han Xiang treated his soldiers as chess pieces, in the eyes of the high-level immortals, how could the billions of lives in the Dongsheng Continent not be their chess pieces?
Including him, Chen Sanshi.

He had been mentally prepared for the wanted order, so he was not surprised. Now that things had come to this, it was just a matter of fighting back and dealing with the situation. He just had to work harder to practice.

As long as the seal of heaven and earth is still there and he can reach the middle or even late stage of the true power realm, he will not have to fear the high-level cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

After taking a quick look, he went to Baibao Building to purchase items.

First of all, he bought a large amount of various medicinal materials and talisman materials, spending a total of two hundred spirit stones.

Then, there is the top-grade magic weapon, the golden bow and silver bullets, which are also worth two hundred spirit stones.

As it was not easy to make the trip, Chen Sanshi was reluctant to leave directly, but continued to wander around the shop to see if he could find something else he needed.

Unfortunately, he was unable to find the martial arts elixir he needed. He did have weapons that could reach the realm of true strength, but he didn’t lack them. The Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear left by his master was a growing type of mysterious weapon. In the future, he only needed to add materials to it to upgrade its grade, and he could continue to use it.

After leaving Baibaolou, another shop caught Chen Sanshi’s attention.

The House of Beasts.

As the name suggests, this is a place where spiritual pets are sold.

Various kinds of spiritual pets are kept in cages with restrictions for people to choose and sell.

Chen Sanshi has some beast taming skills that have not yet been developed, so naturally he doesn’t mind buying another pet to raise. Anyway, he has his own spiritual veins. Soon, his eyes fell on a little white snake.

【Lingyu White Snake】

[Second-order potential]

[Price: 400 Spiritual Stones]

Snakes have always been good materials for making bows and arrows.

This is even more true of the “Spirit Jade White Snake” as recorded. The snake tendons are used to make bowstrings, the snake bones are used to make weapons, and even the snake skin and scales can be used to create defensive magical tools. It can be said that its entire body is a treasure.

Moreover, an adult “Spirit Jade White Snake” is extremely hard to find in the forest and is rarely seen in decades.

Chen Sanshi was born a hunter, and he habitually tested the value of the white snake. He had never seen a second-level bow and arrow in the Treasure House before, so he couldn’t help but want to make plans in advance.

If you raise one yourself and remove it in the future, it is very cost-effective.

Thinking of this, he took out the money to buy it.

After purchasing something.

Chen Sanshi came to the teahouse alone and sat down, then asked Xiaodaigua to go to Yulongji to find out if Bai Linxun, from the martial arts family Bai, was there. He wandered around and inquired about the news of the Bai family.

There are not many martial arts practitioners in Tianshuizhou. Only a few sects have the inheritance of subsequent levels of martial arts. Martial arts families are even rarer.

The Bai family is one of them.

The Bai family’s residence is not far from Dazefang City, in the Dusk Valley five hundred miles away. It occupies a first-grade spiritual vein, and the concentration of spiritual energy is only slightly lower than that of the second grade.

The Bai family was once an extremely prosperous family in this area.

The ancestor of the clan was once a warrior in the late stage of true power. There were as many as five warriors in the middle stage of true power in the clan, which made the other major families around them unable to raise their heads.

It is said that the family has gradually declined in recent years. Although there is still an ancestor in the late stage of true power in charge, there has been a generational gap in the family, and there is no next person who can take on the responsibility of the family. Therefore, many people have begun to covet the Bai family’s treasure land.

In the world of immortality.

Spiritual veins are the most precious resources!
It is as important as fields to farmers.

Mortals who don’t have land to grow food will starve to death.

A cultivator without spiritual energy to cultivate is like a fish without water.

Ordinary cultivators can only obtain spiritual energy for cultivation by renting caves or working for sects.

But if a cultivator can occupy a spiritual vein alone and possesses enough strength, he can protect his family and allow them to reproduce and thrive, and even establish a sect.

Just like…

Chen Sanshi now!
In his hands, he has a top-grade spiritual vein, and it is mobile. He can carry it wherever he goes and use it at any time. As long as there are enough resources, he can cultivate a group of magic practitioners and even martial arts practitioners.

I don’t know where Master got these treasures, but this is not a matter of concern at the moment.

Let’s talk about the Bai family.

When the Bai family was at its peak, they offended many families and had many enemies, including the Li family, which was wanted for Chen Sanshi. Now that they see the Bai family is about to decline, they are ready to add insult to injury.

It is no wonder that the Bai family, which is a big family after all, has been squeezed out and has to set up a stall in Yulongji in secret, without even a shop.

in this case……

He and the Bai family do have a common enemy.

But the defensive heart is indispensable.

Chen Sanshi is involved with the three words “Garrison Commander”, and he has offended more than just a few families. There are also sects behind him. No one knows whether the Bai family will use their information to exchange for benefits.

He ordered a cup of spiritual tea, and while waiting for news, he took out the spiritual jade white snake and started playing with it.

The snake was still young, only as thick as a finger and a few inches long. It felt cool and delicate when wrapped around the hand.

Chen Sanshi squeezed out a drop of blood and fed it into the white snake’s mouth. After going through a specific process, the blood recognition was successful.

[Skill: Beast Taming (Entry Level)]

【Progress: 0/500】

【Effect: Atavism】

[Reversion: All spirit beasts under control can awaken the hidden bloodline in their bodies as their realms improve, thus continuously evolving.]

Whether it is for spiritual beasts or demons, bloodline is the foundation of their strength.

For example, an ordinary tiger that practices for a thousand years may not be as good as a divine beast that practices for a hundred years.

Bloodline is equivalent to the “cultivation qualifications” of a spiritual beast.

It was clearly written in the shop before that his Lingyu White Snake had the potential to be a second-level snake, which meant that after the second level, it would be difficult to continue to climb upwards. However, after possessing the [Atavism] entry, the situation would be very different. If the white snake had good ancestral bloodline in its body, it would be able to go further.

This is equivalent to practicing a technique to improve one’s spiritual roots, which is actually a very terrifying effect.

If it weren’t for the fact that each spiritual beast that a cultivator recognizes as their master by dripping blood is restricted by their realm, Chen Sanshi really wanted to raise a few more spiritual beasts. However, too many would be useless. Firstly, they need resources to feed, and secondly, they need to grow. They would not be of any use for a while, so they could only be used as a pastime.

Since it has the effect of reverting to the ancestral form, I am reluctant to raise it as material.

Not long after.

Zhao Zhao brought back the news: “I found it for you. We agreed to meet at the place you said.”

……

An hour later.

In front of the ancient teleportation array.

Chen Sanshi waited for Bai Linxun from the Bai family.

The reason why he made an appointment here was to prevent any unexpected situations from happening, such as the other party betraying his information so that he could leave here in time through the ancient teleportation array. As long as he returned to the ends of the earth, he could kill as many magic cultivators as possible.

“Brother Chen, long time no see!”

Bai Linxun clasped his fists and saluted.

Not long after we last parted, a murder occurred in the market town.

then.

He also learned that this person was Gui Qi’s disciple, and that he was now fighting fiercely with various sects in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and was basically an enemy of the entire immortal cultivation world.

“Brother Chen!”

Bai Linxun explained: “You don’t have to be nervous. I do know about your situation, but it has nothing to do with my Bai family. I will definitely not betray you.”

“It’s been nearly three years since we last met.”

Chen Sanshi took out the storage bag filled with pills: “This is the ‘Zhenwu Pill’ that Brother Bai ordered last time, ten pills, all of which are high-quality.”

After taking it and inspecting it, Bai Linxun exclaimed: “Fellow Daoist, your alchemy skills are truly extraordinary. I think as long as you have enough recipes, you will definitely be able to break through to the second-level alchemist.”

He said paying the balance.

Chen Sanshi also counted the number, and then asked: “By the way, fellow Daoist, your Bai family is a martial arts family, so you must have elixirs for improving the cultivation of martial artists in the early stage of true strength? I wonder if you can sell me some.”

“Yes, yes, but…”

Bai Linxun changed the subject and said, “Brother Chen, why do you have to pursue resources so hard? Why not go to my Bai family’s Dusk Valley and become a priest? Not to mention ‘buying’ elixirs, even other resources can be given to you by my Bai family.”

“worship?”

Chen Sanshi asked: “Brother Bai, your Bai family has a late-stage clan leader in charge, why do you need to invite me, who is in the early stage of true strength?”

“Ugh……”

Bai Linxun sighed, “To be honest, my Bai family is in urgent need of reliable alchemists, and you have the potential, and you are a trustworthy person, so I really want to ask Brother Chen! As long as Brother Chen agrees, my Bai family can directly use resources to feed you to become a second-level alchemist, and can also give you the recipe for the real power realm!”

Chen Sanshi joked, “Brother Bai, didn’t you see that there are wanted posters for me everywhere in Dazefang City? How dare the Bai family take me in?”

“Wouldn’t it be better if you just change your appearance?”

Bai Linxun said: “I think your disguise skills are also unpredictable. As long as you are careful and my Bai family keeps it a secret, who can know that you are in our Dusk Valley?”

Chen Sanshi nodded.

It seems that the Bai family is really facing difficulties, otherwise they wouldn’t be so anxious.

He declined, “It’s not that I don’t want to, but I just can’t!”

Beiliang is still waiting for him to go back and start a war, so it is naturally impossible for him to stay here. “I still hope that Brother Bai can sell some pills to me at the market price.”

“That’s fine!”

Bai Linxun had heard about the other party’s situation in Dongsheng Shenzhou and knew that he could not get away. After thinking it over, he took out a storage bag from his pocket:

“Brother Chen, there are two ‘Taiqing Pills’ in here. They are enough to help you increase your cultivation speed.”

Without waiting for Chen Sanshi to ask about the price.

The other party then said: “Don’t need the spirit stones, they are given to you for free!
“There is not only the ‘Taiqing Pill’ in here, but also some first-level pill recipes and many materials. All of them are given to you for free!

“Just one thing!
“When you become a second-level alchemist in the future, please come to my Dusk Valley once, even if it’s just to help for a while before leaving!”

“Brother Bai.”

Chen Sanshi asked, “How can you be so sure that I will go back to help you after I take the things?”

“Because my Bai family has the resources for martial arts training.”

Bai Linxun said bluntly: “Brother Chen and the Li family and many other sects are mortal enemies, and are natural and reliable allies.”

“It seems that having many enemies also has its advantages.”

Chen Sanshi found it interesting: “I’ll do what I can, how about that?”

“it is good!”

Bai Linxun nodded heavily.

“It’s a word.”

　Recommend a good brother’s book.
