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

When Jiang Li saw that Li Lin and Zhang Qingxuan both had the same expression, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Elder Li, you are worrying too much. This is because my system is not perfect. It has nothing to do with you."

"I'll think of a way to solve this problem later. Now let's go take a look at those centipedes. I'm also interested in raising them!"

As he spoke, he explained his purpose to Xie Changfeng, and followed him into a small courtyard of the Supernatural Bureau, where he saw many jars sealed with cloth, more than a hundred in number.

Looking at these jars, Jiang Li cast an inquiring look at Xie Changfeng.

Seeing Jiang Li's expression, Xie Changfeng immediately smiled and explained, "Commander, you don't know that these centipedes have fought each other for the meat of the centipede monster, and many of them died."

"To prevent them from getting killed or injured again, I ordered them to be fed separately. Now there is a centipede in each jar, a total of 137."

Jiang Li nodded when he heard this, "I see. All right, go get a dozen centipedes and give them to Master Zhang!"

After receiving Jiang Li's order, Xie Changfeng immediately called two people and moved fifteen jars to Zhang Qingxuan.

After he took a jar, he opened the seal of the jar casually, and then he saw a huge centipede crawling out.

Zhang Qingxuan also sighed, "This centipede is indeed an ancient species. I didn't expect it to have such a size just after becoming a demon!"

Jiang Li listened to this and looked at the giant centipede, which was several times larger than the one he had seen before, and felt very surprised.

So he asked, "Why are these centipedes so big? When I saw them before, they were only four or five inches long at most, but now they look almost a foot long, right?"

"That's true. Because these centipedes devoured the flesh of the centipede monster, they all show signs of turning into monsters. Their appetite has increased greatly during this period, so they have grown so big!"

Hearing this, Jiang Li finally understood what was going on, and Xie Changfeng continued to ask Jiang Li, "Excuse me, Commander, do you have any meat left from the centipede monster? If we can let them eat some more, I think they will soon transform into monsters!"

Jiang Li shook his head. "No more. The remaining ones have long been fed to the big roosters. I think it has been more than a month, and they should have been eaten up long ago."

But then, he took out some fascia from the storage ring and said, "These fascia were originally intended to be used for drawing talismans. Since you need them, take them!"

Seeing these fascia, Xie Changfeng immediately took them with a smile, "Thank you, Commander. I think with these fascia, these centipedes should be able to grow quickly. Maybe we can cultivate a few more six-winged centipedes!"

Jiang Li didn't have much hope for this. After all, the six-winged centipede had practiced for hundreds of years to reach that level of cultivation.

If these centipedes could grow to the level of the centipede monster he and Uncle Jiu killed in their early years in another thirty or fifty years, he would be satisfied. He really dare not think of anything else.

When he thought of Uncle Jiu, he sighed and no longer had the mind to observe these centipedes carefully. He took Li Lin and Zhang Qingxuan to walk around this supernatural bureau.

After taking a look at their working environment and asking about the procedures for handling supernatural events, he left feeling satisfied.

During this process, they also learned from Xie Changfeng that the entire Supernatural Bureau can now produce various magical instruments to ward off evil spirits.

There are also talismans drawn by Maoshan disciples, and various skills and spells collected by Jiang Li over the years that can be learned. What surprised them most is...

In addition to taking out a lot of money, Jiang Li also took out a lot of Essence Pills to reward members who successfully completed the task.

This is also because the quality of these Essence Pills is not high and they are of little help to cultivators above the level of Human Masters. Otherwise, they really planned to send their own disciples and descendants to serve under Jiang Li.

After all, it is not easy to practice cultivation these days. It is very rare to have such a place where you can obtain elixirs stably, even the lowest level Essence Pills.

After visiting the Supernatural Bureau, Li Lin and Zhang Qingxuan were about to leave, but Jiang Li stopped them, "Wait a minute, seniors. I have a small matter and hope you can help me.

Li Lin and Zhang Qingxuan looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Commander Jiang, please tell me what you want to say. As long as we can do it, we will never refuse!"

"You two seniors, you don't have to be so polite. I just found a few array plates in Pingshan. Unfortunately, they are damaged or for some other reason because they are so old that they are currently unusable. So I would like to ask you two to help me see if they can be repaired!"

As he spoke, Jiang Li took out the array plates from the storage ring. After the two of them took them, they looked through them carefully several times and found a clue.

Li Lin smiled and said to Jiang Li: "Commander Jiang, you are worrying too much. This array is well preserved, but because it is an ancient array, it is different from the modern array, so you can't use it normally!"

After hearing Li Lin say that this was an ancient array plate, he immediately bowed and asked what an ancient array plate was.

Li Lin did not hide anything and immediately explained to Jiang Li the difference between the ancient formation plate and the current formation plate.

"Commander Jiang should also know that since the opening of the Jedi Heaven and Earth, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has been decreasing year by year. Now the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is almost exhausted!"

"I know about this, but what does this have to do with the formation?"

Hearing this, Jiang Li asked in confusion.

"Commander Jiang, please don't worry. Let me tell you slowly."

"It is said that at the beginning of the Great Connection between Heaven and Earth, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was quite abundant. The Heaven Realm was dissatisfied with Emperor Zhuanxu's move to open the Great Connection between Heaven and Earth, so it launched the Conferred God War and asked King Wu of Zhou to lead an army to attack King Zhou."

"At that time, formations were used extensively, and the formation plates of these formations were these ancient formation plates. Although their power could not destroy the heavens and the earth, they could move mountains and fill the sea."

"However, since the Conferred God War was too intense and the spiritual energy was further lost, few people have deployed ancient formations since then, because these ancient formations consume too much energy."

"The spiritual energy in the world today is simply not enough to support this. It can only be supplied by spiritual stones or spiritual veins, but these two things are hard to come by, so using them to set up this formation is totally not worth the effort."

When Jiang Li heard this, he realized that it was not that the formation was broken, but that it could not be activated due to insufficient energy. Although he had some spirit stones that could be used to set up this formation of unknown use, it was indeed not cost-effective, so he gave up the idea of ​​setting up the formation.

But then he thought of another question, "Then may I ask Elder Li, what is the formation we are using now?"

"I saw that the spirit gathering array on Lingxiu Mountain only needs a few spirit stones to start up, and it can also rely on the gathered spiritual energy to keep the array running. Is it possible that some expert has improved the array structure to achieve such an effect?"
