Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 174 Qingyun Mobile Phone
The Realm of Demons and Gods.

This is actually the root cause of the constant fighting between the three major demon clans on Izumo Island.

For great demons, the foundation for their advancement is actually similar to that of human princes.

It also relies on the number of basic demon races and the area of ​​their territory.

However, the vast island of Izumo can only support one demon god.

The three demon kings, whoever wants to become a god, must kill the other two demon kings first!

……

Three months later, in Beihai New City, at the Ji Mansion.

Ji Qiu sat cross-legged on the Xuan Tie array platform in the cultivation room, surrounded by a misty spiritual energy.

He is practicing the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique.

The corpses of thirteen giant pythons, each over three zhang long, were placed around the body. Their dark red blood emitted a strong, fishy smell, and under the activation of the formation, it transformed into wisps of blood energy that merged into Ji Qiu's body.

Nine hundred and sixty catties each of gold, silver, copper, and iron, each with a purity of 99.99%, were piled up in the four directions of the formation.

Gold shone with a dazzling light, silver exuded a cold luster, copper had an ancient reddish hue, and iron had a heavy, deep black color.

Under the influence of a strange force, the four metals slowly melted, forming shimmering metallic droplets that surrounded Ji Qiu.

There were also eight kinds of precious medicinal materials, ginseng, lingzhi, deer antler, wolfberry, notoginseng, gastrodia, eucommia and astragalus, each weighing 2,880 catties, which were neatly arranged in jade plates at the edge of the formation.

The rich aroma of medicine, mixed with the scent of metal and blood, permeated the air, creating a peculiar energy field.

Under the influence of the array, these medicinal herbs gradually sublimated, transforming into wisps of medicinal energy that mingled with blood energy and molten metal, jointly aiding Ji Qiu's cultivation.

The entire cultivation scene was magnificent, with the energy emitted by various materials intertwining to form a dazzling light, illuminating the entire cultivation room as if it were daytime.

A quarter of an hour later, the corpses of the thirteen giant pythons all turned into wisps of red mist, which, like living things, burrowed through the pores of Ji Qiu's limbs and bones.

His muscle fibers gleamed with an oily sheen under the wash of crimson energy, his once well-proportioned arms instantly bulged with bulging veins, as if magma was surging within his blood vessels, and fine scale patterns appeared on the surface of his skin.

The 960 pounds of metal at the four corners were completely decomposed into nanoscale metal particles, covering the entire body like black quicksand.

The luster of gold, silver, copper, and iron intertwined on his body, forming an illusion of armor, and his finger joints emitted a crisp sound like metal striking stone.

Metal particles continuously reshape bone density, turning the originally fair knuckles into something resembling cast steel, with the nails gleaming coldly.

Two thousand eight hundred and eighty catties of medicinal herbs evaporated into milky white mist, transforming into essence that nourished the body.

The medicinal properties of deer antler and ginseng strengthen the internal organ functions, making Ji Qiu's heartbeat as deep and powerful as a war drum.

The effects of Gastrodia elata and Eucommia ulmoides penetrate the meridians, making the originally stiff tendons as elastic as a bowstring.

As the last wisp of astragalus fragrance entered his bloodstream, his body temperature suddenly rose, and the beads of sweat that seeped from his body froze into ice crystals as soon as they hit the ground, showing that his physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Once all the strange noises subsided, Ji Qiu slowly stood up, feeling as if his body had undergone another complete transformation!

He then glanced at the cultivation resources that had vanished and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The resource requirements of the Dragon Transformation Technique increase exponentially with its level.

To this day, the daily cost of cultivation is as high as tens of millions of US dollars.

It can truly be described as a sea of ​​gold and silver.

However, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the main material for this Dragon Transformation Secret Technique.

In the modern world, it's truly impossible to find so many giant pythons that are three zhang long.

Even if he had already started a plan to artificially breed giant pythons, it wouldn't work.

Because in the modern world, pythons that are more than three zhang long cannot be bred using conventional methods.

Only mutated pythons can reach this body length standard.

This left Ji Qiu with no way to continue.

The only option is to halve the cultivation resources, stop seeking progress, and only aim to maintain the current level of cultivation.

However, after Ji Qiu went to Izumo Island, the problem of the main material was solved.

The Snake Tribe, one of the three major royal tribes of the Izumo demon clan, possesses countless snake-like demon beasts and snake demons.

And all snake-like monsters are basically giant pythons with a body length of more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

Snake-like demons that can awaken their intelligence and transform into snake demons must be over ten zhang long.

High-ranking snake demons of the seventh grade or above can generally reach a body length of over twenty zhang.

Using them to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique is absolutely perfect.

However, the demon race plunders the fortune of humans, and cultivating demonic power requires sacrificing humans.

Humans also need demons as resources to cultivate the secret technique of transforming into dragons.

It seems that the human and demon races truly cannot coexist!

Ji Qiu sighed softly to himself.

Coming from the modern era and having embraced the modern ideology of Tokyo University, he still hopes, if possible, to explore a path that allows everyone to coexist peacefully and achieve a win-win or multi-win situation.

But based on what we know so far, it seems unlikely.

Well, there aren't that many things in this world that can be had in the best of both worlds.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

If coexistence is destined to be impossible, then the demon race can only die!

A ruthless glint appeared in Ji Qiu's eyes as he thought to himself.

Jingle bell bell~~~~
A slightly abrupt electronic ringtone suddenly came from Ji Qiu's pocket.

He paused for a moment, then reached out and pulled out a strangely shaped cell phone.

The device has a streamlined shape, and the outer shell is made of some kind of alloy material with a dragon scale-like luster. The screen is surrounded by fine runes.

This is not a modern mobile phone, but the Qingyun mobile phone that was just developed by the research department.

The Three Kingdoms of Dragon Qi lacked signal towers and satellites, and the scientific and technological level possessed by the Ji Qiu faction was also insufficient to build signal towers and launch satellites.

This rendered Earth-based mobile phones essentially useless in Dragon Kingdom.

At most, drones are used as communication nodes to solve communication problems within a few kilometers.

But this is clearly far from meeting Ji Qiu's needs.

Therefore, Ji Qiu made the localization of modern mobile phones a key research project for the scientific research department.

It took Zhuge Liang nearly two years to achieve the initial localization of mobile phones.

Combining the Dragon Qi Secret Technique with modern technology, the Qingyun Mobile Phone was finally developed.

This mobile phone uses dragon energy as a channel to achieve communication functions, making it a truly powerful national tool!
The only problem is that it's very expensive.

Currently, the production cost of a Qingyun mobile phone is roughly equivalent to that of a top-tier sixth-grade dragon weapon!
Therefore, even with Ji Qiu's wealth and resources, it was impossible to equip all employees.

Currently, only civil and military officials of the fifth rank or above can be equipped with Qingyun mobile phones.

Ji Qiu glanced at the caller ID; it was Xun You calling.

So he answered the phone and said, "Gongda, what's up?"

"My lord, I have good news to report to you: the three major demon clans of Izumo Island have officially started their war!" Xun You said excitedly.

Three months after Ji Qiu destroyed Fox Ear City, he commanded his troops to destroy two more demon cities.

They killed nearly two thousand ordinary demons and rescued nearly one hundred thousand humans from the cloud.

He then left Izumo Island, leaving Xun You to manage its affairs. There were three reasons for this decision.

Firstly, he is the lord.

As the lord, one should not be too involved in specific affairs, otherwise one will be suspected of competing with subordinates for credit.

After destroying three cities of the Izumo demon clan, the situation on Izumo Island has improved.

Then he won't need to take on much more responsibility; it's time for him to retire gracefully and let his subordinates take over.

Secondly, he has self-awareness.

He knew that he was never a wise man of exceptional talent, and that if he were to take charge of the affairs of Izumo Island, he might not be able to deceive the Izumo demons and successfully provoke a civil war among them.

Since that's the case, it's better to hide your shortcomings than to make a fool of yourself. Before things get messed up, it's best to quickly shift the blame.

Thirdly, he has capable subordinates who can take charge of this matter.

Xun You had been under his command for some time now.

Both their loyalty and abilities have been recognized.

Ji Qiu also wanted to promote him.

However, rewarding someone without merit is a major taboo.

So it's time to let him go out, stand on his own, and make a name for himself.

The Izumo Island thing is quite good.

It requires both wisdom and military strategy, making Xu You a perfect candidate to lead the effort.

Once completed, it would be a great achievement, allowing Ji Qiu to further promote Xun You.

Therefore, the matter of Izumo Island was naturally handed over to Xun You.

Xun You did not disappoint him. After three months, he finally managed to provoke the three major kingdoms of the Chuyun demon clan into war!

"Excellent! Gongda has made a great contribution by instigating the internal strife among the Izumo demons! When we return to the North Sea, I will definitely reward you for your merits!" Ji Qiu said with a smile.

Xun You's face flushed instantly, but he repeatedly declined, saying, "My lord is too kind. I am unworthy of such praise."

The fact that the Izumo demon clan was able to wage civil war is all thanks to our lord.

If it weren't for our lord destroying the three demon cities, these three royal tribes would never have gone to war!
"I was merely doing what was within my duty."

"No need to say more, I know how much you've sacrificed. I'm sure I'm fair in rewarding and punishing my subordinates!" Ji Qiu said with a light laugh.

He knew that it would be extremely difficult to incite a civil war among the Izumo demon clan.

Although he used the identities of other demon races to destroy three demon cities, this act laid the foundation for a civil war among the Izumo demon race.

However, turning the foundation into reality still requires a great deal of effort and ingenuity.

After all, the Izumo demons aren't stupid.

Especially the great demons of the three kings, remnants of the ancient Heavenly Court, are knowledgeable and experienced; they are not so easily fooled.
Simply put, if Xun You hadn't been in charge of the affairs of Chuyun, it would have been very difficult for anyone else under Ji Qiu to accomplish this.

Xun You's face showed gratitude, and he said in a deep voice, "Since my lord says so, then I am unworthy to accept your praise!"

"That's how it should be. However, stirring up internal strife in the three departments is just the beginning. Next, you need to continue your efforts and further expand the scale of the civil war among the Izumo demon clan."

While weakening the Izumo demon race, we must also try our best to rescue the Izumo human race.

I entrust everything concerning Izumo Island to you.

"I hope you won't let me down!" Ji Qiu said in a deep voice.

Xun You's face turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Please rest assured, my lord, I will certainly not disappoint you!"

He knew the importance of this task.

The strength of the Izumo demons is self-evident, almost comparable to the overall strength of the Han Dynasty.

How easy is it to make such a powerful force gradually decline through civil war and eventually become Ji Qiu's prey?

Even with Xun You's abilities, it would have taken him all his strength to achieve this.

There must be absolutely no negligence.

At the same time, the greater the difficulty, the greater the reward.

Because the Izumo demon clan is so powerful, if he really completes this plan and assists Ji Qiu in destroying the Izumo demon clan, the merit he will make will be very great.

Such a great achievement is enough to allow him to firmly establish himself in Ji Qiu's forces, and he may even be able to directly enter the core of Ji Qiu's forces!
Today, Xun You is paying increasing attention to the power of Ji Qiu.

If his initial contact with Ji Qiu's forces was merely a trial-and-error approach, a way out for his family, then...

As his understanding of Ji Qiu's power deepened, he realized its strength even more.

Now, he has no doubt about Ji Qiu's potential.

He firmly believed that the future of Kyushu would surely be in Ji Qiu's hands.

It's not just Kyushu that might fall into Ji Qiu's hands; it's possible that anything beyond Kyushu could also fall into Ji Qiu's grasp!
For the Xun family, the power of Ji Qiu is no longer a way out, but a future.

How could Xun You not care?
After hanging up Xun You's call, Ji Qiu stopped paying attention to the matter of Chuyun.

This is partly because we trust those we employ and we don't employ those we don't trust.

He had full confidence in Xun You's abilities and believed that he could handle the affairs of Chuyun Island well and would not cause him any worry.

On the other hand, there is a more important matter that requires his attention.

This momentous event was the first college entrance examination held by the Ji Qiu faction!
Even before the year-end meeting last year, Ji Qiu's forces had already established a complete primary and secondary school system.

This year, the Ministry of Education's core task is to establish Qingzhou's first university!

Ji Qiu originally thought that it would take the Ministry of Education a full year to prepare for Qingzhou University.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xuan acted very quickly.

Just one month after the year-end meeting, it was announced that all preparations for Qingzhou University had been completed.

We can start recruiting now!

It seems he was prepared, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have acted so quickly.

However, this is naturally a good thing for Ji Qiu.

He had been looking forward to the start of Qingzhou University for a long time.

The sooner Qingzhou University starts its semester, the sooner it can begin cultivating talent for him.

So, the moment Qingzhou University announced the completion of its preparations, he announced that the first college entrance examination would be held.

College entrance examination candidates must be between sixteen and thirty years old and be formal citizens of the Jiqiu faction.

The reason for this restriction is that Ji Qiu's forces not only include a large number of high school graduates, but also many poor young men who came from other places because of the recruitment order.

These children from impoverished families were all targets and supporters of Ji Qiu's efforts to win them over, and Ji Qiu naturally wouldn't abandon them.

So when they came to seek refuge, Ji Qiu accepted them all.

However, their abilities did not meet Ji Qiu's requirements.

Therefore, Ji Qiu hopes that they can enter Qingzhou University for further studies through the college entrance examination.

If they can successfully get into Qingzhou University and graduate smoothly.

That will surely have a bright future.
