Chapter 98 The third floor of the foundation building period
Looking at Ye Wen's leaving back, Ye Chen had a complex expression on his face. He sat cross-legged in front of the crystal coffin and closed his eyes to think.
The news brought by Ye Wen gave him a great impact, which affected his mind and involuntarily fell into the memory of his father Ye Ying and the infinite reverie about his mother.
After a day and a night, Ye Chen opened his closed eyes, stood up, patted his clothes gently, as if to brush off the dust on his body and all the unhappy things, and then strode outside to meet the demon.
Ji said hello, took off into the air, and galloped towards Qinglong City.
"Master, Zhao Hong, the commander of Qinglong City, led eight hundred personal guards to protect Sun Wei's three wives. They wanted to leave Qinglong City, but were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city. The soldiers guarding the city came to ask the young master whether to let him leave.
?”
As soon as Ye Chen returned to the City Lord's Mansion in Qinglong City, the guards guarding the study hurriedly came up to greet him.
"Let them go!"
After hearing what the guard said, Ye Chen hesitated a little.
Since Zhao Hong and his eight hundred personal guards cannot be owned by him, then it is a good choice to let them go. As for Sun Wei's three wives, Ye Chen has no intention at all. When they moved into the city lord's mansion,
, and drove him out.
After saying that, Ye Chen entered the study room, lay down on a comfortable armchair, closed his eyes and studied the Xuantian Book in his mind.
There is a lot of content in the Xuantian Book, including cultivation techniques, magic techniques, sword techniques, formation techniques, alchemy techniques, and weapon refining techniques.
At this time, Ye Chen is already a cultivator on the second level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. If he wants to speed up his cultivation, he has two ways to go. One is to refine the pills taken during the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the other is to use a large number of spirit stones to arrange the spirit gathering.
Array to enhance the concentration of spiritual energy in the training location.
After studying the various elixirs taken during the foundation building period in the Xuantian Book, Ye Chen selected a type of elixir called Chunyang Dan and prepared to refine it in large quantities to improve his cultivation strength.
Not many medicinal materials are needed to refine Pure Yang Pills, only more than ten kinds of pure Yang medicinal materials are needed.
The reason why Ye Chen chose Chunyang Pill is that most of the dozen or so medicinal materials used to refine Chunyang Pill are very cheap and widely distributed, making them easy to obtain. A few are expensive and available in large quantities.
As long as you are willing to spend money, you can easily obtain it. Unlike other pills taken during the foundation building period, Ye Chen has not seen the required medicinal materials in the medical books of the Kingdom of Wu and does not know where to get them.
The research on the medicinal materials needed for the elixir this time reminded Ye Chen that he knew very little about the medicinal materials on the Fenghuo Continent, and he must collect as many books on the medicinal materials on the Fenghuo Continent as possible, and combine them with Xuantian Baodian Mountain
Compare the medicinal materials to find out the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir.
Otherwise, when he becomes stronger and needs to refine better and more advanced elixirs, but cannot find suitable medicinal materials, wouldn't he be in a situation where he has no elixirs to take?
After carefully studying the method of refining Pure Yang Pill a dozen times and simulating it with his spiritual consciousness a dozen times, Ye Chen opened his closed eyes, left the study, and entered an underground secret room in the City Lord's Mansion.
After closing the door of the underground secret room, Ye Chen took out a piece of material for refining the alchemy furnace from the space ring, placed it on the ground of the secret room, slowly circulated the mana in his body, and stored the true fire in his Dantian.
, sprang out from his mouth and floated in front of him, floating motionless.
Looking at the hot flames floating in front of him, Ye Chen grabbed it casually, and a large piece of spirit iron flew up from the ground and fell into the hot flames. Under the burning of the hot flames, it slowly turned into
Molten iron, with countless impurities, melts under the baking heat of the hot flames.
Seeing that after refining the fine iron, Ye Chen stretched out his hand again, and a piece of spiritual copper essence flew into the hot flames. Under the burning of the hot flames, the impurities melted and slowly turned into flowing copper water.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen waved his hands continuously, grabbing pieces of spiritual mineral essence, and turned them into spiritual mineral water under the burning of the hot flames.
When more than ten kinds of spiritual minerals were all turned into spiritual mineral water, Ye Chen waved his hand casually, and streams of mana came out from his body. Under the control of his spiritual consciousness, he wrapped up the various spiritual mineral waters, and slowly
They were brought together to fuse and solidify. At the same time, the bloodthirsty sword flew out from his dantian and turned into a small carving knife, carving magic circles on the slowly fused and condensed spiritual mineral water.
More than ten hours later, a low-grade spiritual weapon-level pill furnace was born in Ye Chen's hands.
Looking at the alchemy furnace in his hand, a faint smile appeared on Ye Chen's lips. He took out pieces of top-grade spirit stones from the space ring and placed them regularly in the underground secret room to form a small spirit gathering array. He sat down
Among them, he started practicing cross-legged practice.
As Ye Chen closed his eyes and practiced, pieces of top-quality spiritual stones in the underground secret room released traces of spiritual energy, slowly injecting into Ye Chen's body and integrating into his limbs and bones, strengthening his flesh and blood.
Cell meridians enhance the mana reserves in the body.
Opening his closed eyes, Ye Chen woke up from his practice, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
With the huge spiritual energy provided by the Spirit Gathering Array, he was able to break through the existing bottleneck as he wished, and was promoted from the second level of the foundation building stage to the third level of the foundation building stage.
Don't underestimate the difference in this level! Every time you advance to a level in the foundation building stage, the mana in the body will increase by one-tenth, the flesh and blood meridians in the body will be strengthened once, and the spiritual consciousness will be doubled. Originally, Ye Chen's
Divine consciousness can only extend to tens of kilometers away, but now it can extend to a hundred kilometers away.
Having become a cultivator on the third level of the foundation building period, Ye Chen stood up, took a look at the spirit gathering array that could still be used in the underground secret room, smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he put the alchemy furnace on the side into the space ring and opened the underground chamber.
The door to the secret room went out.
"Master, you are finally out! You have been in seclusion for half a month, which is too long!"
After receiving the news of Ye Chen's departure, Ada hurried to the study room of the City Lord's Mansion and looked at the energetic Ye Chen, whose face was shiny and said loudly.
"Ada, do you have anything important to come to me for in such a hurry?"
Hearing Ah Da's complaint, Ye Chen ignored it and just smiled. Cultivation does not take many years, and it is a simple thing to stay in seclusion for half a month.
"Master, according to the news sent back by Chen Meimei, His Majesty King Wu appointed General Lu Jian as the commander-in-chief and Chen Hao as the vanguard to lead the 600,000-strong imperial standing army, joining the 600,000-strong army of the four great dukes and the General Club, a total of one hundred
The 200,000 troops to conquer us have now been assembled and are expected to arrive at the Qinglong Pass in a month."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ada's face straightened up and he spoke in a worried tone.
An army of 1.2 million! The total population of Miracle City and Qinglong County is only about 5 million, and the army is only over 200,000, which is incomparable to the 1.2 million army of Wu State.
"Isn't it just 1.2 million troops? What's there to worry about? With the terrain of the Qinglong Pass, we can only invest tens of thousands of troops at most. No matter how many troops cannot be deployed, there is no point.
Besides, don’t we still have one month of preparation time? Within this one month of preparation time, I will turn the Qinglong Pass into an indestructible fortress and become an eternal pain in the hearts of the Wu Kingdom Army!”
After hearing Ada's report and feeling the worry in his tone, Ye Chen said lightly.
Not to mention an army of one million, even if it was an army of ten million, as long as the opponent did not have saint-level warriors that far exceeded his own, Ye Chen had the confidence to use the powerful terrain of the Qinglong Pass to keep them out of Qinglong County, unable to do so.
Take a step towards Qinglong County.
"Master, I'm too worried! With Master here, let alone one million troops, even 10 million troops, 20 million troops, we are not afraid, and we can win the final victory!"
After hearing Ye Chen's words and thinking of the steep terrain of Qinglong Pass, Ada nodded gently.
"Stop flattering! If Wu Guo really sends an army of ten million, he can kill us with human lives! I will leave a magic circle in the underground secret room. You can practice there for a while. It will be of great benefit to your cultivation."
Hearing Ah Da's words, Ye Chen smiled slightly.
"Thank you, Master!"
Hearing Ye Chen say that it was helpful to his cultivation, Ah Da was overjoyed and quickly thanked him and ran towards the underground secret room.
Looking at A Da's leaving figure, Ye Chen showed a faint smile on his lips, summoned a guard and asked him to take him to the warehouse where medicinal materials and jade were stored.
Soon, Ye Chen was led by the guards. A huge warehouse with a height of ten feet and an area of more than ten acres came into Ye Chen's sight. When he opened the door of the warehouse, the strong fragrance of medicine hit his nostrils.
, mountains of medicinal materials and jade took up most of the huge warehouse.
In order to show his ability and loyalty, Viscount Ross not only assisted the army of Miracle City, but also brought all the cities in Qinglong County under Ye Chen's rule without spending a single soldier.
Medicinal materials and jade were sold out at high prices, causing the price of jade and medicinal materials in Qinglong County to rise sharply. Countless mercenary adventurers and hunters flocked to Qinglong Mountain to collect medicinal materials and mine jade, earning huge wealth.
Of course, Viscount Ross cannot afford to buy so much jade and medicinal materials alone. However, if all the merchants and nobles in Qinglong County jointly contribute, then it will be shared equally among everyone, and there will be a lot less.
All can afford it.
Looking at the mountains of jade and medicinal materials, Ye Chen's mouth showed a smile of satisfaction. He was very optimistic about Viscount Ross's ability to do things and was ready to let him, the city lord, work for a long time.
Let go of his consciousness, search wantonly among the mountains of jade, sift out the spiritual stones one by one, put them into the space ring, pile the remaining jade stones aside, and instruct the guards on the side to put them away after he leaves.
Pull out all these useless jade stones and dispose of them.
After handling the jade in the warehouse, Ye Chen looked at the mountains of medicinal materials and couldn't help but grin. He ordered the guards to lead people to seal the warehouse and transport some cool spring water. After that, he selected and refined the medicinal materials from the massive amount.
The medicinal materials of Jinsui Pills, Ginseng Pills, and Jinwu Pills were processed once, put into the alchemy furnace taken out from the space ring, adjusted the heat, and started to be manufactured in batches.
