"My roommate's name is Yuntao, and she has a bit of an irritable temper. Please be more patient with me!"
A fox-shaped jade pendant flashed on Yun Xi's chest, and the flesh-and-blood spirit fetus was put away by her.
It is actually a storage instrument similar to the Sumeru Ring.
There were many vacant rooms in the military office, so the handymen in Jiang Li Mingzheng City cleared out a few rooms for the fox demon king Yun Xi, the fox demon Hongling, the big black dog and the deer demon Lao Lu to recuperate.
After closing the bedroom door, Jiang Li released his true energy to seal the surrounding space. The Sumeru Ring's brilliance flashed, and he took out all three ambergris and ambergris.
Ambergris fruit has powerful medicinal properties and contains the breath of a true dragon. It is a wonder of heaven and earth that was born from the intersection of the dragon veins of Lishan Mountain and the dragon veins of Canglong Mountain, and the harmony of yin and yang.
It can nourish the physical body, stabilize the muscles, bones and meridians, strengthen the inner vital energy, and make the true energy contain the true dragon breath. It is a rare treasure for Qi meridians.
Rumor has it that it has the effect of reshaping the meridians, making them resemble mountains and rivers, and a real dragon lying prone.
But according to Yun Xi, what really has this miraculous effect is not the ambergris fruit, but the fruit tree itself.
If the ambergris fruit's effect on transforming and reshaping the meridians of a Qi meridians is one, then the ambergris fruit tree's reshaping effect must be at least ten times greater.
"For Qi practitioners, the meridians and Dantian are the foundation of practice. Only when the foundation is solid can we carry more and climb higher!"
Jiang Li was not in a hurry to swallow the ambergris fruit to nourish his body and improve his Qi state. Instead, he rolled the ambergris fruit tree in front of him first.
The fruit tree is about nine feet high. Its body is twisted like a dragon, and its branches are stretched out like veins of earth supporting the entire world.
Jiang Li cut his palm open, held the tree trunk tightly, and followed Yun Xi's instructions, mentally urging the true energy in his body to flow into the ambergris fruit tree.
In an instant, Jiang Li's energy flashed. After his true energy entered the ambergris tree, he seemed to have entered a vast and complete world.
The original power of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth reaches a certain balance under the fusion of the rolling dragon's breath, and rotates and transforms on its own, in an endless cycle.
There are also various illusory images of mountains, rivers, plants and animals existing, flowing, inhabiting and multiplying in this world.
Although there are no sun, moon, stars, thunder, lightning, clouds or rain, it is a world of its own.
And after Jiang Li's spirit and true energy entered this world, it filled up all kinds of original powers, as if infused with the power of the rising sun.
Jiang Li's mental power emitted a golden glow and hung high in the sky. Just like today, the true energy blended into the shadows of mountains, rivers, plants and animals, more like giving them real bodies, making the changes more real.
Feeling that the world of the ambergris fruit tree was completely integrated with his own spirit and true energy, Jiang Li's soul and true energy began to circulate violently and issued a summons.
The ambergris fruit tree world suddenly started to flow, surging towards Jiang Li's body. The branches coincided with the meridians of Jiang Li's body, and the trunk merged with Jiang Li's spine and Dantian.
After an unknown amount of time, all the essence in the ambergris tree was transferred to Jiang Li's body, and a world seemed to have really appeared in his body.
In the meridians, mountains, rivers, and all things coexist, forming various atmospheres, qi mechanisms, and charms, so that the true qi is no longer "dead" but full of spirituality and vitality.
The strength of the meridians has been increased several times, and the energy capacity has been nearly doubled.
In the void, countless Yuan Qi from heaven and earth surged toward his physical body, transforming into rivers and seas of true Qi, filling his meridians and Dantian, making the world of Qi more vigorous.
Even before taking the ambergris fruit, Jiang Li's energy level began to rise at an extremely fast speed.
When Jiang Li saw this, he went all out and swallowed all three ambergris fruits for refining. The powerful medicinal properties and true dragon aura instantly swept through his body.
The extent of the changes, amplification, and transformation of the meridians was no less than what the Nine Transformations Great Return Pill had done to the muscles and bones of the physical body when he first cultivated the martial arts.
The dragon's breath circulates in the meridians and merges with the dragon's energy originally contained in the true energy.
The true energy is alive, as if all the true energy is about to condense and take form, and have life.
The true energy was so powerful and unstoppable that it rushed directly into the eighth realm of energy transformation.
The entry, early stage, middle stage and the late stage of transformation don’t stop.
Three ambergris fruits and one ambergris tree directly raised Jiang Li to an entire realm.
With a thought in Jiang Li's mind, his true energy flowed and condensed, and a ten-foot-long red-gold dragon suddenly condensed, broke through the roof of the bedroom, rushed into the sky, and turned over clouds and rain.
Above the clouds, dark clouds were gathering, and wind and thunder were howling.
In a hidden martial arts field deep in Jimingzhan City, three thousand soldiers were practicing Qi channel training under the guidance of Mo Yunliang.
When the giant red gold dragon soared into the sky, all the sergeants practicing Qi felt unbearable pressure, and the aura in their bodies shrank. No matter how the sergeants urged it, it was of no avail.
"Master, has he advanced to Qi Transformation?"
Mo Yunliang looked up at the red gold dragon, his heart filled with shock and confusion.
Although it was clearly the aura of the Qi Transformation Realm, the real dragon took shape, with a faint light of wisdom shining in its eyes.
This is clearly a spirituality that can only be possessed by the ninth realm.
Moreover, such majestic and condensed zhenqi is also ridiculously strong.
…
The crescent moon is like a bow, the Yumen pass.
In the cold moonlight, a group of brave cavalry wearing armor and holding halberds galloped out from the huge pass. With heavy and firm hoofbeats, they rushed into the night and disappeared.
The Northern Expedition would officially begin in three days, but before that, three elite cavalry groups of the Great Zhou Dynasty took the lead in rushing into the wilderness, rushing around aimlessly in an attempt to disrupt Mang Khan's military layout.
Jiang Li led ten thousand soldiers to gallop on the vast land of Beimang. The moonlight soaked the earth like water, covering the red armor of the soldiers with a layer of cold moonlight.
The bright blades gathered together like a silver ocean.
As the rangers who go deep into the wilderness and lead the movement of the main force of Beimang's army, they do not need any means to cover up their whereabouts. Their purpose is to attract the attention of Mang Khan.
The eyes revealed in the visor were gleaming, with excitement and eagerness to try that could not be concealed.
There is no trace of fear or timidity in the hearts of the ten thousand soldiers, but only the ambition to make achievements.
Although the Holy One issued an order for guerrilla harassment, Jiang Li decided to implement an upgraded version of guerrilla action.
Instead of attacking the small and medium-sized tribes on the border of the wilderness, they rushed four thousand miles in one go, killing directly through the hinterland of Beimang like a sharp sword.
In the era of cold-weapons conquests, even if each sergeant was equipped with three well-trained and strong military horses, it was definitely difficult to complete a continuous attack for thousands of miles.
This has nothing to do with mental will, but more to do with the physical limitations of horses and soldiers.
The reason why Jiang Li dared to make this decision was that the average quality of the sergeants under his command was much higher than that of other military camps.
After a month of full supply regardless of cost, almost all the martial arts realms of the sergeants under his command were above the third realm of martial arts, the Jiaowu realm.
At a low level, Qi pulse not only improves faster, but can also assist in improving the level of martial pulse.
The 3,000 soldiers who practice Qi Meridian are almost all above the middle stage of the Jiao Martial Realm. With the supplement of the Qi Meridian, they can even compete with martial arts warriors in the Tai Chi Realm of the Fourth Martial Meridian Realm for some rounds.
This kind of sergeant strength is definitely at the top level even if you look at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the ordinary army, warriors at the Jiao Martial Realm can serve as small bannermen and command ten sergeants.
Zhao Tiehe, Ji Wuliang and other eleven Qianhu military generals in the middle and late stages of Xiantian, each commanded thousands of troops and horses.
Although their martial arts realm is quite satisfactory and not outstanding, compared with those Qianhu generals who have experienced hundreds of battles, their martial arts attainments are actually higher.
After all, they were all among the top ten in the martial arts examination. Their family's martial arts background was comparable to that of ordinary generals, and their potential was even greater.
"Mangyuan, the 狃狋 is back. The centuries-old blood feud between the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty, the Beimang royal family, and hundreds of thousands of 烃狋 people will be washed away with blood!"
Hu Yangu led more than a hundred lynx heavy riders, full of murderous intent, with a desire for bloodthirsty killing in his wolf-like eyes.
Wearing the Torrent Battle Armor, carrying two swords on his waist and hips, carrying two crossbows on his back, and holding a horse spear, he has the strength of the middle and late stages of the Juqing Realm, and has both Taoism and Magic.
Although the military horses they were riding were wearing light armor, behind each of the yang heavy riders was a giant deer beast that was two heads taller than an ordinary military horse.
After these deer beasts were brought back to Ping An City by Jiang Li and the Tuman warriors, they were immediately taken away by Hu Yangu. They were wearing heavy armor, and the antlers on their heads were also wrapped in metal and equipped with many sharp blades.
Looking from a distance, it doesn't look like a deer, but rather a ferocious beast from the wasteland that came out of the Middle Ages.
"Happy, happy, Uncle Xiong, when will our tribe be able to gather such an army!"
The young leader of the Tuman Ying Shanxiang was riding on the tall deer beast, and his blood was surging.
The Five Elements barbarians occupy the southern border, and there are tens of millions of ethnic groups. Although they call themselves a country, they are only a very loose tribal alliance.
The Yingshan tribe belongs to Tuman. Although there are barbarian kings, the tribes are independent and not unified.
This is also the reason why Yingshanbe fends for itself after being attacked.
"Young Master, we have eight million Tuman tribesmen. We do not lack warriors. We just lack a true barbarian king who can truly unite the Tubar tribes!" Ying Shanxiong replied.
The seven barbarian warriors were tall and wearing the latest heavy armor, like ancient gods and demons.
Since joining Jiang Li's command, Ying Shanxiong and others have enjoyed abundant training resources, and their martial arts realm has improved significantly. Except for the young master Ying Shanxiang who has just stepped into the Xiantian realm, the other six martial arts masters are already martial arts masters in the Ten Thousand Fu realm.
Jiang Li took the lead and galloped among the army. The two people on his left and right were Mo Yunliang, a master of the Qi Transformation Realm, and the ancient Qingyan, who was both a Taoist and a martial artist.
In addition, there was Old Man Tu, the big black dog, and the deer demon Old Lu, galloping behind them.
Such a combination of strength is no longer inferior to those who were born in the top families of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the legitimate sons of powerful families, and is even stronger than anything else.
At this time a year ago, Jiang Li had just traveled through time. He was still a humble bastard who was assassinated by his mistress and was lying in bed gasping for breath.
But today, he has established his own power base and has become a popular young general in the Zhou Dynasty.
The change of circumstances can be described as a huge difference between heaven and earth!
"This time we go deep into the hinterland of Beimang, and there are continuous battles. Even if the soldiers under our command are elite, they are destined to be severely damaged. It is time to activate and master the new Tiangang magical power!"
Jiang Li's heart moved, and his spirit and will condensed on the altar of his mind, and he entered the starry space of the golden pages.
Using the two treasured ghost thoughts, Jiang Li stepped into the starlight palace in the nebula vortex.
"Call the rain and call the wind"
"Grade: Dharma Image Middle Grade"
"Activation conditions: Blood of the Martial Saint, thoughts of ghosts and immortals, and life-threatening Qi!"
"Supernatural power: can control weather changes, summon madness, heavy rain, blizzard, frost..."
"Shocking the mountains and the earth"
"Grade: Dharma Image Middle Grade"
"Activation conditions: Blood of the Martial Saint, thoughts of ghosts and immortals, and life-threatening Qi!"
"Supernatural power: It can cause earthquakes in the earth, shake the mountains and shake the mountains, and shake the mountains and rivers. The power is very broad!"
…
"Call the rain, call the wind, shake the mountains and the earth!"
"With these two magical powers, once a battle is about to begin, and activated at the same time, they will have a huge mental impact on the Mang clan and break their will!"
After a moment, Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes, and his radiance flashed away.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen and tens of thousands of military horses, like an arrow from a string, crossed the wilderness and pierced into the hinterland.
Three days and three nights later, in the vast wilderness four thousand miles away from the border of Dazhou, the Dazhou Rangers shouldering the heavy responsibility climbed over a high mountain. With the first ray of morning glow on the grassland, they could see a distant place thirty miles ahead. Barbarian tribes lived along the river.
Continuous stretches of animal skin tents were scattered throughout the field of vision. A rough count revealed that there were hundreds of thousands of tents.
Cattle and sheep fill the fields, and strong horses gather in groups.
In the curling smoke, a huge royal flag fluttered in the wind, and the two characters "Tuoba" stood out.
"Beimang royal family, Tuoba tribe!"
In front of thousands of cavalry, a young general on a white horse stood on the top of the mountain, with a smile on his dusty face.
There are many tribes in Beimang, led by the eight royal families, and the Tuoba tribe is the oldest among the eight royal families.
The previous generation Beimang God of War, Tuoba Xiongzai, was born in this tribe.
…
"General Qi, judging from the hoof prints left in the grass, the 10,000 rangers commanded by General Jiang Li should be heading directly to the northwest!"
Outside Yumen Pass, a large army composed of fifty thousand Zhou cavalry galloped on horseback, with flags fluttering, blocking out the sky and the sun.
A Baihu deputy lieutenant led a dozen scouts with flying hooves and galloped back from more than a hundred miles away.
"Going directly to the northwest?"
Jiang Xuanluo was wearing glazed battle armor, his figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree, and his dark eyes were like a deep pool of water that left no place to breathe.
He looked to the northwest, and the topography of the entire Beimang land naturally emerged in his mind. Every valley, river, and every pasture suitable for grazing was clearly and accurately located.
"I knew that this son was very scheming and would not strictly follow the Holy Emperor's will. The northwest is a fertile land. There are probably more than two dozen medium-sized tribes with a population of tens of thousands or more stationed within a thousand miles. If we can defeat them one by one, It’s also a great achievement!”
Jiang Xuanluo smiled coldly and said: "According to the normal speed of the new army and the possible pastures of the Beimang tribe, if he is lucky, he should have captured two tribes. He wants to make a contribution, but I can't let him do it."
"Follow my instructions, the army will march northwest to support Jiang Li!"
Jiang Xuanluo's voice was like thunder, resounding for dozens of miles.
"General, the order given by His Highness the Fourth Highness to us is not to stay within 300 miles of the Liangzhou General Camp. If we rush directly to the northwest, we will probably get further and further away from the general camp troops!" said a guard commander.
"It doesn't matter. The main force of the Liangzhou General Camp is 350,000. Our left wing only needs to complete its duties. When we enter the northwest hinterland, we will draw the strength of the Mang army!"
Jiang Xuanluo smiled faintly and said: "But your suggestion is also reasonable. I will arrange for two thousand light cavalry to cruise five hundred miles to the left of the Liangzhou General Camp. If there is an emergency, our fifty thousand troops and horses can immediately retreat to support!"
"promise!"
The commanders of several surrounding guard posts could only nod their heads, and the 50,000-strong army quickly marched toward the northwest along the traces left by the rangers.
There are a little less updates today, mainly in planning the later plot, Haihan Haihan.
