Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 470 Troop Training
"Okay, no more jokes. Zhaomin, how long will it take us to get to Zuzhou?"

Qin An looked at Qin Huai and Zheng Zhaomin who were looking at each other in confusion and dared not speak, then turned around and asked about the itinerary of this trip.

"It's almost there. In about eight or nine hours, we'll be able to see the edge of Zuzhou."

Zheng Zhaomin picked up the navigation compass on the table, looked up and compared it with the stars in the sky which had not yet completely dimmed, and quickly gave an answer.

"Brother Zheng, was that the Star Pulling Technique?"

After witnessing Zheng Zhaomin use the stars in the sky and the sea level angle to determine the current position, Qin Huai also associated his method with an ancient navigation invention.

"Well, my inheritance [White Tiger] has something to do with the White Tiger Seven Stars. When it comes to specializations like the Star Pulling Technique, it can be said that I am very handy and can get twice the result with half the effort. In addition, there will be a demand for this aspect when developing fruits, so I put in some extra thought."

Zheng Zhaomin nodded, confirming Qin Huai's guess.

"But I remember that Brother Zheng's inheritance is the fur type, right?"

Although Qin Huai said this, he already had the answer in his heart.

"To be precise, it is a caterpillar with the characteristics of a celestial being. Just like the white tiger, it has both the characteristics of the stubborn five insects and the inheritance of the authority of the spiritual five immortals. In fact, there are also feathered insects such as the Vermillion Bird, the celestial being Canglong, and the ghostly immortal Qiongqi in the Yan Zhaohui. In short, in the circle of agents, this can be said to be an open secret."

Zheng Zhaomin waved his hand, indicating that Qin Huai didn't need to be too surprised.

"Unfortunately, the complete power of the Yamabu represented by the White Tiger inheritance is too huge. Even if you work non-stop to complete the exclusive Yamabu events, if you want to be promoted to the Six Departments, it depends on chance. You can't force it."

Qin An said meaningfully: "If you want to gain stronger strength, you do have to work a thousand times harder than others, that's true. But if you are dragged down by the sunk costs you invested previously, and run into a dilemma and a dead end, it will be more trouble than it's worth. So, how to choose your own inheritance and future path has always been a question that needs to be carefully considered for Yanfu Xingzou."

"Mr. Qin, from what you said, there is a big difference between the Seventh Palace and the Sixth Office?"

After hearing Qin An's words, Qin Huai asked with some uncertainty.

"It is very big. Even if I risk my eight thousand Tigers, I still cannot be sure of winning against the bottom two."

Zheng Zhaomin recalled the results of his previous discussion with Liu Si, whom he was familiar with, and spoke with a sense of helplessness.

"Not bad. After all, there is a gap between my Dharmakaya and this Dharma Master. Although your [White Tiger] is only a minor success, with the increase in the power of the Taoist Army Formation, Zhao Min, you have at least a 50% chance of winning against the Nine-Tailed Fox and Guan Zhong, the Dharma Masters."

Qin An opened his five fingers and gave his opinion

“There is indeed a gap, but it is not an insurmountable gap.”

Qin Huai nodded, thinking of the high-ranking agents he had encountered before, and simulating a battle in his mind.

It goes without saying that Chu Qing, who is at the peak of the Six Divisions, is unable to cause any fatal damage to [Si] even if Qin Huai uses [Wuerda] when facing this high-cost Dharmakaya.

As for [蜃] and [Bi'an] who had just entered the Seventh Palace, Qin Huai was confident of victory and there was no need to say more.

After much thought, the only ones who could fight as well as him at this moment were the Seventh Palace's agent [King of Mount Tai], whom he had met once before, and the former Tianwu's agent Xuanyuan Ji.

With the help of some precious external objects such as [Kunlun] and [Seven Deadly Sins], Qin Huai can exert a strength that is no less than the peak of the Seven Palaces, and in some aspects, he can even compare to the original bodies of some stubborn five insects.

After all, equipable items are not the abilities of the inheritance itself. If you want to further improve your strength, you have to start from some inheritance-related perspectives.

The secret treasures of Yama, the seeds of magical powers, the species of Suicune, and the legion of Taoist soldiers.

Thinking of this, Qin Huai also remembered the method of Taoist soldier sacrifice that Zero had looked up for him before.

Dao soldiers, also known as Dharma protectors, are the most famous among the many myths and legends. They are the head of the Five Hundred Lingguans, who are known as "worship Wang Lingguan first before going up the mountain". They are Dutian Da Lingguan, Taiyi Leisheng Yinghuazun, Sanwu Huoche Wang Lingguan,

The most widely circulated one is the Yellow Turban Warrior created by Zhang Jue, the great and virtuous teacher of the Taiping Dao.

As a derivative of the Yamabu inheritance, Dao soldiers are one of the few things that can quickly narrow the gap between agents. The most common Dao soldiers can be piled up with resources. For most walkers, it is just a matter of consuming Yamabu points.

However, exclusive Taoist soldiers like [Yellow Turban Warrior] and [Tiger Thunder] which are closely related to inheritance not only cost a lot of resources, but also have various requirements for inheritance compatibility and Taoist soldier embryos.

Of course, the abilities possessed by the exclusive Taoist soldiers after they are refined are also extraordinary. Take the [Yellow Turban Warrior] for example. A warrior guardian of the Nine Stars rank can activate the warrior talisman, which can move mountains and make him invulnerable to swords and spears; he can activate the fire talisman, which can spit out fireballs; he can turn the talisman into water, and burn the talisman into the water, which can cure all poisons and eliminate all disasters after drinking it. It can be said that it is extremely versatile.

Although the Taoist soldiers are much weaker than the Yamafu walking soldiers of the same level, they are inexpensive and of good quality. Even if there are some losses, it will not cause the military commander to suffer serious injuries and feel too distressed.

As Qin Huai thought about this, a concrete scroll of green and yellow bamboo slips appeared in his hand.

【Xihong Yingriguan】

Category: Lingguan Baogao

Quality: Rare

Tianwu inherited the method of refining an exclusive Taoist soldier called "Chaoyangshi". The Taoist soldier can move mountains and fill the sea, increase strength and spit out ice, and control wind and thunder with hands. It is a true water magic practitioner comparable to the peak of Jiuyao.

Requirements: 80% specialization in talismans, water magic embryo, Tianwu inheritance, and various spiritual materials.

Note: A scholar is one who studies the arts of morality and practices martial arts, and is the elite among the soldiers.

"Hey, Tianwu's Dao Soldiers Refining Method? You want to refine Dao Soldiers? That's right, you just caught a batch of species from the sea, among which there should be Dao Soldiers embryos that meet the requirements. If you can cultivate suitable Dao Soldiers earlier, it will also be of great benefit to passing the inheritance trial in the future."

Zheng Zhaomin looked at the Lingguan Baogao in Qin Huai's hand, thought for a moment, and continued, "If you encounter any problems during this period, you can come and ask me. I dare not say anything else, but I am very experienced in configuring talismans, mounts, equipment, medicine and food, and other matters related to Taoist soldiers."

"Brother Zheng, rest assured. If there is any need, I will definitely not hesitate to help you."

Qin Huai nodded, chatted with a few people for a while, and then returned to the cabin to prepare to develop his own Shuijun Palace in depth.

Speaking of the Water God Palace, Qin Huai has actually had this secret treasure for some time, but it was limited by the conditions for opening it. It was not until he recently obtained the two secret treasures of [Spring Equinox] and [Water Virtue Dragon Energy] that he was able to open and close the Water God Palace at will and officially incorporate it into his own system.

Qin Huai not only had the "Method of Refining the Taoist Soldiers [Chaoyang Shi] Exclusive to Tianwu and the Recommended Species Atlas", but also the matching military formations, deployments, and training strategies, but their targets were all [Chaoyang Shi], not the hundreds of races and species that had just been conquered and had not yet completely returned to their loyalty.

If he wanted to develop the Shuijun Palace in depth, the most urgent task was to expand the species group, select the best from them, and refine the Dao soldiers. After arranging the things to do in order, Qin Huai took out the various spiritual materials that he had purchased in the stall earlier, and began to draw spiritual patterns for the Dao soldiers according to the method recorded in [Xihong Yingri Guan].
-
The retro-styled alchemical lamps emitted a continuous and steady light. Qin Huai, who was leaning over the desk to draw spiritual patterns on a [Strong Rock Silver Cod], raised the tip of the purple-hair brush, exhaled slowly, and looked at his work but was not very satisfied.

Logically speaking, the [Zhuangyan Silver Cod], who has practiced Taoism for 500 years, should have been able to refine his transverse bones and transform into a human body among the Ten Cities monsters. However, it is not known whether these species in the Qinhuai Water God Palace are gifted or limited by their bloodlines. They have to practice Taoism for a thousand years and be promoted to the Nine Stars before they can transform into human bodies, wear helmets and armor, and hold weapons.

This back and forth really cost Qin Huai a lot of effort.

Fortunately, he had [Emperor's Flowing Juice] and [Tianlu Essence], otherwise, if he wanted to gather a battalion of 300 Taoist soldiers, he would have to return to Yanfu and purchase a large amount of precious materials from the auction house.

Seeing that the species carefully selected in [Chaoyang Valley] were already devouring [Emperor's Juice] and [Tianlu Essence] and gradually improving their own cultivation, Qin Huai also sent back the [Strong Rock Silver Cod] on hand and climbed up to the deck observation deck from the cabin.

After a few hours, the speed of [Wangyue] has gradually slowed down, and it is approaching the huge continent emerging from the western sea level in a relatively gentle manner.

Zuzhou, one of the ten continents, is covered with mountains and lush vegetation. Although no ships were seen, Qinhuai could clearly see the many aquatic creatures basking in the sun on the beach.

The sun is shining brightly in the sky and the scenery is beautiful. Looking at the edge of the land, there are continuous fruit forests and many animal and bird shadows appear and disappear in the mountains.

Looking far into the distance, you can glance over the nearby harbor and see the city built against the mountain in the distance.

The city walls are towering and dark blue in color. Some of the tallest buildings in the city can be vaguely seen, with glazed jade tiles and golden eaves, shining brightly in the twilight.

Qin Huai squinted his eyes and took a quick look. The city wall alone was probably nearly a hundred feet high. Although the buildings in the city were ancient, they were actually much taller than the city wall. Although their shapes were different, it could be seen that they were the result of the painstaking efforts of the craftsmen.

"Strange, how could such a huge city be built suddenly when it is clearly a barren land without slash-and-burn farming?"

"The city is not necessarily built by humans. In these three islands and ten continents, humans are just one of the myriad creatures."

Qin An shook his head, rolled up his sleeves, and the bright moonlight wrapped Qin Huai and the other two, and flew towards the huge city in the distance: "Let's go, Tan Song is still waiting for us in the city."

A moment later, a silver streak suddenly appeared at the city gate. It was mighty and about ten feet in size, but it soon faded away, revealing four figures that stopped in front of the huge rock gate.

In front of the gate of the huge city, there were about a hundred soldiers in armor, some with animal heads, some with wings, and holding long spears. Without exception, they were all non-human.

The leading general in black armor had a huge, ferocious bear head on his head, and was holding a large axe. His right paw was supporting a large vat made of a rock mill, as if he was collecting money from the city.

Seeing Qin Huai and the others coming, the gatekeeper Xiong Jiang was not surprised. He came forward and saluted, saying in a muffled voice: "Sir, is there anything important that brings you to Zuzhou City?"

"It's just a visit to a friend. General Xiong, what's the matter?"

Qin An stared at the big black bear, smiled kindly, and didn't pay any attention to this little guy who had only been practicing Taoism for two thousand years.

"Nothing, nothing. Do you want us to lead the way?"

The black bear demon spoke very humbly, because he had previously secretly cast a spell to probe Qin An's cultivation level. When his magic eyes were opened, he was blinded by a dazzling sight, as if he had seen the sun and the moon in the sky.

This performance, which was a thousand times stronger than that of the Lord of Zuzhou City, was so terrifying to an old monster like him that his whole body trembled.

Fortunately, this powerful immortal seemed to have a clear mind and was not murderous, otherwise Zuzhou City would be in danger of collapse today.

"No need."

Qin An shook his head slightly, then led Qin Huai and a few others over the towering city wall and entered the city of Zuzhou.

The streets of the city are bustling with traffic, and look no different from any other city in the city. Many vendors of various shapes and sizes are hawking their wares, and countless birds and animals are running around, laughing, playing, chasing and fighting, all with the atmosphere of a prosperous city.

The giant octopus monster with a hundred feet and a thousand hands was grilling its tentacles on an iron plate, while the chive leaf spirit in green silk robes rubbed its hair and sprinkled chive flowers on the freshly-baked noodle soup.

The dark-covered rock monster moved the furnace away, revealing the red-hot iron bars underneath. He clenched his powerful fists and kept hitting them.

All races coexist and all industries prosper, giving people a feeling that is both familiar and wonderful.

At Fengqiwu, the largest restaurant in the city, the eight-character wall faces the street, and two yellow jade Pixiu are placed at the door to attract wealth.

As soon as Qin An and others arrived at the door, the two jade Pixiu tilted their heads and looked over at them, their eyes rolling around with curious expressions.

Then a handsome young man in clean clothes and with furry rabbit ears came out to greet them: "Dear guests, would you like to stay overnight or stay at the hotel?"

"Find someone."

Qin An snapped his fingers, and Tan Song's portrait appeared in front of him.

"So you're here to see Feng Shuai. Please come this way, this way."

When Qin Huai stepped over the threshold, the first thing he saw was a screen.

There are five sacred mountains on the screen, three of which are located in the middle, and two are located in the North Pole. In addition, there are also a group of fairy palaces hanging high in the sky, ethereal and out of this world.

After walking around the screen, one can see tea trees planted all over the courtyard of the restaurant, birds flying around, and a road leading directly to pavilions and terraces in the back mountain.

On the roofs of the pavilions and palaces, there are glazed tiles with a bright golden luster, and there are several small animals squatting there, looking like they were made of gold and mocking the wind.

These exotic beasts who love adventure and looking far into the distance have also developed round little bellies on the roof of this wealthy restaurant, and their short legs move back and forth, swaying.

"This city is quite peaceful and tranquil. It's quite different from the jungle where the strong prey on the weak."

Qin Huai felt the lazy and comfortable atmosphere, and his mind relaxed.

"After all, Zuzhou City is one of the largest cities among the ten continents and three islands. Not to mention the wandering gods and ghosts who can cross the Yellow Springs and the Netherworld, and the birds and beasts who have cultivated and gained good fortune in the mountains and fields, even the immortals who live in the thirty-three heavens and reside in the Heavenly Palace and the Ancient Immortal Caves often come here to play. Under the teachings of the city lord, all the creatures of all races naturally have rules."

As the rabbit servant spoke, he led a few people to a garden.
