My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

"But according to the records in Longhu Mountain, the dragon ball is the source of a dragon's magic power and the object of its soul. It carries the dragon's consciousness, memory, and emotions. If the dragon loses the dragon ball, it may become extremely weak or even die."

"In addition, if the spiritual power in the dragon ball is still there, the cultivator can use the magic power in the dragon ball to assist himself in practicing quickly."

"However, according to Commander Jiang, when you got this dragon ball, it was already dim. I think it's been a long time and the magic power has been lost!"

"However, since Commander Jiang can inject mana into this dragon ball, perhaps he can try to absorb the stored mana again. Who knows, there might be another unexpected surprise?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li immediately prepared to give it a try. Then he looked at Li Lin again, and when he saw that he nodded, he held the dragon ball in his hand, held his breath, and slowly absorbed the magic power inside.

As soon as he absorbed it, he immediately discovered the problem. It turned out that this method was originally injected by himself, so it was very convenient and quick to absorb.

And after absorbing it, you can use it directly without any refining.

“Isn’t this just like a mobile power bank?”

"It's a pity that I don't know how much mana it takes to fill it up, and how many times I can absorb it before the stock is used up?"

Jiang Li thought secretly in his heart.

However, thinking that Li Lin and Zhang Qingxuan were still here, he stopped absorbing the magic power in the dragon ball.

Then he continued, "The mana in this dragon ball can indeed be absorbed directly, but I don't know if it has any other uses. If it can store mana, it's a bit useless!"

Li Lin shook his head upon hearing this. "I don't know about that. Although there are many classics in Maoshan, I am obsessed with cultivation and have not studied them too deeply."

At this time, Zhang Qingxuan stroked his beard and smiled, "Speaking of the use of dragon balls, I do know a little bit. Dragon balls are the abode of the soul of a real dragon. If you can use your own magic power to refine it, you can get part of the dragon's inheritance."

"In addition, it can also be used directly to assist in cultivation, or refined into a magic weapon."

"But all of these have a prerequisite, that is, the dragon ball is full of energy. As for a dragon ball like this, which has been placed in a tomb for hundreds of years and has no spiritual energy, whether it is still useful, it is unknown!"

Jiang Li was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still begged Zhang Qingxuan unwillingly, "Please teach me the method of refining the dragon ball, old master. I will reward you generously after I refine the dragon ball!"

Zhang Qingxuan just smiled and shook his head when he heard this, "Commander Jiang, you are too polite. There is no need for a generous reward."

"I heard that Commander Jiang still has some six-winged centipede larvae. If you are willing, you can use a few small centipedes to exchange this method with me."

Jiang Li agreed immediately after hearing this. "That's not difficult. The centipedes are all kept in the Supernatural Bureau. I'll go with you later and take a dozen of them!"

Seeing that Jiang Li agreed, Zhang Qingxuan asked for paper and pen and wrote down the method of refining the dragon ball. After Jiang Li took it, he did not look at it carefully, but put it into the storage ring.

Then he took them to the Supernatural Bureau.

When they arrived at the headquarters of the Nanxi County Supernatural Bureau, they saw many people running around in a hurry, and it was obvious that they had a lot of things to do.

When Xie Changfeng knew Jiang Li was coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, "I didn't know you were coming, Commander. I hope you can forgive me for not coming to greet you!"

Jiang Li didn't care whether they were welcomed or not. He was curious about why the Supernatural Bureau was so busy, so he asked, "I see you are so busy, but is there anything big happening recently?"

Xie Changfeng smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Commander, you may not know that we have just experienced drought and floods recently. Although there were not a large number of deaths in Guangxi and Hunan, some people were unfortunately killed."

"This is nothing, but because of the difficulty in search and rescue after the flood, some corpses in Hunan rotted and caused the plague, although the epidemic is still under control now."

"But we all know that once a plague spreads, it will spread very quickly. If we don't prepare early, once it spreads, it will surely cause great suffering to all."

"So the Political Department specifically told us to make early preparations to prevent the spread of the epidemic and the breeding of evil spirits, which would prevent us from dealing with it in time!"

When Jiang Li heard this, he immediately slapped his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of this question?"

In his previous life, he had a relatively good understanding of Nuqing Xiangxi. He knew that Partridge Whistle and Hong Girl had developed feelings for each other during Ying Pingshan's trip, and they agreed that after he found the Zhuchen Pearl, he would come back and marry her.

However, not long after he left, Red Girl died of plague, and she didn't even see Partridge Whistle before she died.

Now that I think about it, maybe it was the plague that occurred after the flood, but he was so busy with disaster relief and reorganizing the army that he didn't even think about it.

Without time to blame himself, Jiang Li immediately looked up and asked, "Since you know there is a plague, do you know if the secretarial office has sent a medical team to participate in the treatment?"

Seeing that Jiang Li was a little angry, Xie Changfeng immediately explained, "Don't worry, Commander. I just received a message from the secretarial department today, saying that we should arrange for someone to go there with doctors and medicines. I think they have already reported it to the commander!"

When Jiang Li heard this, he immediately sent someone to inquire about the situation, and the person who came back gave him accurate information.

It turned out that the secretarial department had just received the news. After they decided on the materials and personnel, they immediately sent someone to take the documents to Jiang Li for review.

But the others in the military camp did not receive the news, and then they went to the Government Affairs Department, and then to the Supernatural Bureau, so they did not know about the plague.

But now that he knew, he immediately signed the transfer order and asked the doctors, medicines, and people from the Supernatural Bureau to fly to Hunan immediately.

Of course, there are no direct flights from Guangdong to Hunan now, although several airports were built during the war.

However, due to the limited range of airplanes these days, they could not fly that far and had to land and refuel twice before they could fly into Hunan.

After that, they had to take a truck and change trains several times before they could reach the place where the plague broke out. However, Jiang Li was powerless to do anything about it. He could only give orders through the radio station, asking people in nearby counties to cooperate more and try to control the spread of the epidemic.

After arranging all these, it was already an hour later. Jiang Li said to the others again in a sheepish tone: "Excuse me for making a fool of myself. I almost made a fool of myself!"

Li Lin's face was serious when he heard this. "What are you talking about, Commander? You are wholeheartedly serving the people. How could we laugh at you?"

"Speaking of which, we almost disturbed the commander's work today, which is really wrong. Commander, please do as you please, we will not disturb you any further!"
