Aunt Zhu suddenly transformed herself and performed an extreme operation, releasing twelve Blood Fang Guards and three groups of small spiders to look after the formation, freeing up more people to refine the elixir.
At sunrise the next day, the Emperor Liujiang stopped and everyone was exhausted.
But time is tight and the task is heavy, so alchemy cannot stop for a moment!
He Lingchuan divided everyone into two groups, one group to make pills and the other group to rest, and they changed groups every three hours.
As soon as it got dark, Emperor Liujiang arrived again, impatient.
This time it even went a step further and reached the level of torrential rain.
If you stand outdoors, you will be soaked from head to toe, from the outside to the inside, in less than ten seconds.
Being drenched by the emperor's fluid, what a luxurious pleasure!
Who would have dared to imagine this over the past hundred years?
From that night on, there were basically no monster invasions. The spiritual rain in this world was pouring down, and there was no need to catch it anywhere, so there was no need to fight for it!
Another day passes.
Another day passes.
It’s still the joy of washing your face with spiritual juice.
Fortunately, another 200 black-armored soldiers arrived that night. He Lingchuan had more people available, and the pressure of collecting and refining spiritual juice was greatly reduced.
However, the alchemy furnace cannot rest.
After all, they are not immortal treasures like the Qiongshi Dan Ding, and they will be damaged if they are refined with high-intensity fire for a long time.
Starting from the fourth day, the alchemy furnaces began to burn or explode one after another.
If one breaks, we will replace it. We have sufficient stock.
These few nights, the whole world seems to be quiet.
The space between heaven and earth is filled with the refreshing scent of spiritual rain.
On the seventh day, the flow of Emperor Liujiang gradually decreased.
On the night of the ninth day, the last drop fell before dawn, and it was over!
From beginning to end, this round of Emperor's Flow lasted for a total of nine nights!
The length of time and the abundance of traffic are unprecedented in more than 150 years.
By the time the tenth sunrise came, seventy or eighty furnaces had been broken down, and everyone's eyes were like rabbits, with black and blue patches under their eyes.
By the time the last batch of pills was refined, He Lingchuan himself could no longer bear it and ordered everyone to take a three-day vacation to recuperate.
Everyone was feeling both happy and sad, and they all said that although Emperor Liujiang was good, if they did it a few more times like this, they would lose their lives.
But the recovery from fatigue was much faster than expected.
Even as strong as He Lingchuan was, it would take him at least ten hours to recover from the cruel treatment he had given himself in the past. After all, it was a double torture both mentally and physically.
However, this time it will only be five hours at most.
The other black-armored soldiers were also full of energy in less than ten hours.
The reason for this is that the environment has improved greatly. Everyone can feel the spiritual energy lingering around their noses when they breathe.
Breathe in the Reiki during the day and breathe in the Reiki at night;
You breathe in spiritual energy when you eat and you breathe in spiritual energy when you practice.
You can breathe in spiritual energy while gambling, and while squatting on the toilet... uh, what a novel and luxurious experience!
The Emperor Liujiang erupted for nine whole nights, directly raising the spiritual energy of the human world to several levels.
In the past, when spiritual rain came and soaked the land, it would take a long time for the rain to evaporate. But this time, there was no need for that. This saturated watering filled the air, soil, and water with rich spiritual energy.
Even dull mortals can feel their presence firsthand.
And this is just a good start. As time goes by, more spiritual energy will be released from the mountains and rivers, and the concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth will increase greatly.
In such an environment, spiritual energy will gradually penetrate the bones, tendons and veins of living beings, making them stronger and their lifespans longer.
Simply put, it means a higher starting point and better development.
For practitioners, this is the world worth aspiring to, because their upper limit has been raised.
The death of just one righteous god, several subordinate gods, and subordinate gods has brought such a harvest to the world. He Lingchuan is really full of infinite yearning for the ancient times.
In that era, the spiritual energy was so abundant that it could support the immortals and beasts to display their devastating powers and nurture divine creatures like the black dragon.
He Lingchuan was also very clear that the trend of one rising and the other falling was complete, and this kind of good days would continue, and the spiritual energy of the world would continue to recover.
Starting from this explosion of Emperor Liujiang, the whole world will be very different.
unless--
Unless the spiritual energy of the human world is quickly plundered and transported to the divine world.
One hundred and fifty years ago, the human world had experienced a similar revival of spiritual energy and had had such an opportunity, but it was not seized.
The world of gods and this world, the world of demons and the world of humans, have actually been engaged in a huge, fierce yet silent competition.
Competing for spiritual energy and resources for survival.
The core of the success or failure of competition is becoming increasingly clear.
……
During the Emperor's Ooze, everything in the world seemed to stop; when it ended, the world returned to its hustle and bustle.
During the half month since He Lingchuan left Yao Kingdom, news from the south actually came in one after another.
Duocheng is very close to Yaojing, which also makes it convenient for him to receive first-hand information.
On the night of the Yaogong Incident, Bai Tan captured Tianshui City; and in the past ten days or so, he continued his efforts and captured three counties and seven townships in the surrounding area, faster than He Lingchuan expected.
This achievement was mainly achieved within two days after the coup, because the emperor's blood was flowing rapidly afterwards, making it difficult for the army to fight.
It can be seen that Bai Tan must have rehearsed the military and political plans after seizing power countless times before he could act so decisively.
The shortcoming of insufficient military force when he started the rebellion was greatly improved after he captured Tianshui City.
Under pressure from the situation, the generals and officers of Tianshui City led their troops to surrender to him. In addition, Bai Tan's original position was the head of the Ministry of Justice, and the city patrol troops and officials from various prefectures were originally his subordinate agencies.
The rapid expansion of Bai Tan's power also benefited from the enthusiastic joining of refugees.
Because he led the refugees to fight against the rich, divide the property, and dig out the food holes, Bai Tan became very famous among the refugees and was the most famous person at that time. Tianshui City was in chaos, and the original power structure was broken. The refugees who were once looked down upon and treated worse than pigs and dogs in Tianshui City now have a ladder to move up again -
That is to join Bai Tan's army, make achievements, earn money and turn your life around!
Want to find a way out, want to trample those who look down on you? Then join General Bai's army!
Bai Tan also did a good job in propaganda. Within three days, he recruited nearly 5,000 soldiers, 70% of whom were refugees.
In fact, according to He Lingchuan's estimation, Tianshui City's potential is far more than this. But Bai Tan did not recruit more, obviously leaving some room for maneuver.
This is a very wise move.
Recruiting soldiers is not a simple game of numbers. The recruited soldiers need to be paid, trained and managed. The more they are, the greater the burden.
Bai Tan had just taken over Tianshui City, and there were many things to sort out.
On the northern front of Yao State, Luodian launched a massive invasion.
After driving Yuwen Yong away, Luodian State's Zuo Zongchang Qu Ruhai personally led the army south and reached the mouth of the Fuwei River in one go.
If you board a ship from the mouth of the Fuwei River and head east, and disembark at the Zhuxian Pier, you will only be eighty miles away from Tianshui City! Moreover, the mouth of the Fuwei River is a very busy bay. As long as the Luodian people can get dozens of large ships, they can transport the vanguard troops there.
Unfortunately, this “as long as” is not true.
In the name of "serving the king", General Chongwu returned south two steps ahead of Luodian State and drove away all the boats at the mouth of the Fuwei River.
When Qu Ruhai rushed to the riverside, he saw only two or three small boats parked at the dock, which were not enough to transport a large army!
If we need to cut down trees and build a boat temporarily, it will take at least two months.
So Qu Ruhai decisively gave up the water route and prepared to go around it by land.
Luo Dian also had his own plans. Yao State had just been in civil strife, and the situation would not be clear in a short time. If they could not capture Tianshui City in the first place, they might as well slow down and wait and see.
Anyway, as they head south, they will take over all the cities and counties along the way.
These territories will belong to Luodian from now on.
However, Qu Ruhai's plan did not last long, as General Chongwu suddenly turned north to intercept the Luodian army.
The channel is like the condensed sea air.
With the help of Qingyang, the two sides had cooperated in the northern border of Yao Kingdom not long ago, and had made Yuwen Yong run around in circles; but Chongwu turned around and drew his sword, not giving Yuwen Yong any face at all.
Of course Qu Ruhai is not stupid, and he understands that Chongwu’s situation is delicate.
Once King Yao died, Chongwu's fake loyalty to the king became a real loyalty to the king. If he led his troops back to Tianshui City, he would face legal difficulties:
If you lose the fight, there’s nothing to say.
However, even if he defeated Bai Tan, Chong Wu would not be able to hold Tianshui City and gain power. That was the capital of Yao State, and he was a Pixia, a foreigner, and his power was even more illegitimate than Bai Tan's, so it would be difficult for his Yao army to nominate him as the king.
He abandoned Yuwen Yong and Yaobei to fight in the south. If he did not fight to the death with Bai Tan, the name of "serving the king" would be untenable, and the act of "serving the king" would become running away from the war!
What's more, there are other forces in Yao Kingdom who are also ready to make a move. Chongwu does not want to be the first to compete with Bai Tan, only to be benefited by a third party.
You can't beat him, and you can't keep him either.
Therefore, the easiest way for him was to turn around and head north to attack Luodian. At least there was a way to say it was "resisting foreign aggression."
The Yao army under his command did not have much opinion on this. Warfare is all about the right time, right place, right people, and right luck. Yaodu had been captured by Bai Tan, and the Yao Kingdom was turned upside down. As the general, Chongwu certainly had the right to decide when to hide his strength and when to avenge King Yao.
Of course, He Lingchuan knew that Chongwu and Luodian had maintained close contact with Qingyang and participated in the Yaoguo coup together. So was it Qingyang's instruction for Chongwu to turn around and avoid fighting Baitan?
Even He Lingchuan couldn't judge this. But he was very clear about one thing:
Chongwu took the opportunity to stay in Yao State under the pretext of resisting Luodian. He must have other intentions.
Good generals are all opportunists. Once a new opportunity arises, they will not let it go.
This is the performance of an ambitious person.
With the death of King Yao and a coup in the Yao court, the country was left without a supreme ruler.
As a result, some people in Yao State began to become active.
After Tu Han and Shan Zezhong led 1,400 to 1,500 people to escape from King Yao's Palace and evacuate Tianshui City, they recruited soldiers along the way in the name of suppressing the rebels. They also joined forces with the remnants of Yuwen Yong who had evacuated from the northern border and reorganized into a new force.
They had all seen Bai Tan's methods and knew that if they did not resist to the end, they would only die.
