After three days and three nights of non-stop training, first the blood bath that plunged Ling Han into a state of nothingness, and then the thunder bath that made him miserable, all the blood in his body can now be condensed into essence and blood, and the power of essence and blood has reached the level of the Earth.
With every movement of his hands, he could feel unparalleled power than ever before. The breakthrough in the power of essence and blood gave Ling Han more power than the breakthrough in essence.
Only in the land realm can the power of essence and blood be truly exerted, and the strength can be better displayed, which is a qualitative leap.
Only when you step into the realm of the earth can you be considered a powerful person rather than a master. The grass realm is the starting point, the wood realm is the entry level, the marsh realm is the master, and the earth realm and above are the strong ones. Although there are many masters, the strong are always strong. Naturally, only a very small number of spiritual masters can reach such heights as the Earth Realm.
Essence, blood, energy, and spirit are all firmly anchored in the Earth Realm. Ling Han is so confident at the moment that he is not afraid at all even against the strongest people at the top of the Earth Realm.
"When you have mastered your essence and blood, your body will become immortal! You can fight against the powerful men in the heavens alone with your body alone!"
Thinking of Ling Wu's words back then, Ling Han thought to himself that breaking through the realm with the power of his essence and blood might be just the beginning, and the so-called domineering demonic body was just a small success.
It is so difficult to cultivate blood essence to Xiaochengdu. Without the help of Uncle Peng, it would be difficult to practice it by yourself. At least the blood essence of the Demon King is not so easy to obtain.
As for how to cultivate essence and blood to perfection, I'm afraid the road ahead will be more difficult, but I still have to rely on myself. Uncle Peng has already given me a lot of help.
Ling Han is confident that whether it is the Imperial Capital or the Spiritual Masters Conference, it is a brand new stage with more opportunities, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to do it.
With each passing day, the vegetation becomes more luxuriant and full of vitality as we go south. Even though it is winter, there is no snow here, and the evergreen trees are layered next to each other, lush and green.
From time to time, I pass by a small dark city. The streets that are not very wide are filled with the strong smell of human fireworks. There are small villages all around, and there are even houses, smoke curling up, ancient trees and small bridges, chickens and dogs smelling each other, sitting and sitting Surrounded by fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo trees, endless traffic, and busy farming, ordinary days are truly beautiful and leisurely.
The Tianfu Empire is divided into two major plains, north and south, by an east-west mountain range. Qingyun City, Jingcheng and Xieyang City in the west that Ling Han passed through when he first entered Jianghu are all located in the northern plain.
This east-west mountain range is connected by the Diyang Mountains in the west, the Qishan Mountains in the middle and the Laishan Mountains in the east. To the north of the mountains is the northern plain and to the south is the southern plain.
There is another mountain range running east to west, the Kunlun Mountains, which is the boundary between the Tianfu Empire and the Tianling Empire. The capital of Tianfu Emperor is located in the southeast of the southern plain, between the Laishan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains.
After another day's journey, Ling Han was already at the center of the Tianfu Empire. To the north was the Qishan Mountain Range, and on the other side of the mountain range was where he had stayed.
The gentle and virtuous talented beauty Qin Susu is still in the Star Man Garden in Qingcheng...
With Dapeng's speed, it would only take him a short time to take him to Qincheng to meet the beautiful woman, but...
"Huh? What are you thinking about?"
The beautiful woman turned Ling Han's head over with her hands, her eyebrows slightly twisted, her black hair fluttering, she looked at Ling Han seriously, her little mouth pouted, "I have been silent all day, and I don't pay attention to others."
Ling Han squeezed out a smile and asked, "Would you say it is better to live in a quiet and peaceful pastoral life, or to live in a prosperous and exciting world of rivers and lakes?"
"Why are you so sentimental?"
Mei Ruyu thought for a while and said, "Well... But I think each has its own advantages. The key is to look at your own heart and decide what choice you want to make."
"Generally, you have experienced ups and downs in life, experienced complex human relationships, and have rich life experiences. Only when you return to an ordinary life, you will not be poor in your heart, and you will have a sense of happiness and satisfaction."
Ling Han smiled slightly after hearing this and touched her head, "What you said seems to make sense."
Dapeng said: "Gaga, you must be strong or mentally strong, otherwise an ordinary life will be a life of disaster."
"But then again, ordinary life is the ultimate destination. It's okay to be young and be high-spirited and not afraid of anything. But when you are old, you cherish your life and you can't stand the torment anymore."
"When everything is over, you, your parents, and our family will find a valley full of birdsong and fragrance of flowers to live happily. Then you will have another litter of cubs, and your uncle will take them to play."
Mei Ruyu's eyes lit up and she said: "It's better for us in the Ghost Domain. There is no intrigue and deceit. Everyone is honest and honest with each other. It is pure and beautiful. I don't know how many royal nobles in the human race have squeezed their heads to compete for the lifelong right to live in the Ghost Domain."
"At that time, we can live a good life in the Ghost Realm, and we can bring your friends with us, and then build a big palace in the Ghost Realm, bigger than Qingze Palace..."
Ling Han stretched out his hand to interrupt her and pointed downward.
"Ah, why are there so many refugees down there!"
Looking around, it looks like a hell on earth. A large number of people have been displaced and left their homes. Some are leading livestock and some are dragging children. They are in ragged clothes and have no food to eat.
Some old people fell on the roadside without anyone to help them. They were emaciated and sallow, their rickety bodies unable to be wrapped in ragged cotton clothes shivering in the cold wind, and they looked helpless.
Dapeng lamented and said with great sympathy: "You see, the ordinary life of ordinary people is not bad. If it is so ordinary that you are homeless and have problems with food and clothing, how can you live an ordinary life?"
"How could they be so miserable? This would never happen in our ghost land. Moreover, it is so cold and they are wearing so thin clothes." Mei Ruyu was very sad to see this scene. She has lived in the ghost land since she was a child. The palace was the most affluent and prosperous place, and she didn't spend much time outside. Naturally, she had never encountered such a tragic scene, so how could she know the suffering in the world.
Ling Han didn't know what was happening here. Although he heard that the Tianfu Empire was fighting on the front line, it was fighting a small country in the southeast of the empire near the center of the continent. It was thousands of miles away from here, and there was an imperial capital in the middle. Not to mention that the empire would not If the battle is defeated, even if it is defeated, it will not affect this place.
Seeing that the direction of migration of the refugees is south, then something must have happened on the north side of the mountain range in Jincheng.
Could it be that the plague that broke out in Jincheng was not controlled?
Ling Han's heart tightened and he quickly said to Dapeng: "Uncle, let's go down and take a look. These refugees seem to be coming from Jincheng. I stayed there for a while."
"That's fine."
The roc folded its wings and landed on the edge of a small forest. Ling Han and Mei Ruyu entered the forest and found an old man with white hair resting on the roadside. They asked, "Old man, what happened?" ? Where are you going?"
The old man raised his head slightly and glanced at Ling Han and Mei Ruyu, then stretched out an arm to gently hug the child curled up beside him, and prayed helplessly in a hoarse voice: "Two kind-hearted people, please save me. My granddaughter, she hasn’t eaten for two days and will die if she can’t walk.”
The child was about five or six years old. His face was sallow, his lips were chapped, his breath was weak, and he was in a semi-conscious state. He was afraid that he would not be able to sustain a day's journey. The kind-hearted Mei Ruyu took out some dry food and water and handed it to the old man.
The old man excitedly took the food and put it to the girl's mouth. He held her arm and shook her gently, trying to wake her up. "Child, wake up quickly. We met a good person and had something to eat."
The girl reacted, slowly opened her eyes, and took a few mouthfuls of food. When the old man saw this scene, his eyes burst into tears. He clasped his hands together and said gratefully: "You are good people. Thank you for saving my granddaughter."
Then he gently pressed the girl's head back and forth and said, "Come on, child, kowtow to your benefactor."
Ling Han quickly stopped the old man's behavior and asked again: "Old man, are you coming from Jincheng?"
The old man slowly spoke: "The plague has been severe. It has finally been brought under control there, but it has caused suffering to the surrounding villages. It spreads from person to person, and many places cannot be stayed."
"We live in a village near Jincheng. We heard that the land on this side of the mountain is fertile and secluded, making it easy to feed people. Who would have expected that we would also be infected with the plague. No, a few months ago, when someone came back, they said There are many fellow villagers in the villages and towns near the imperial capital, and they are all doing well... Just go there and find a way to survive!"
Ling Han said: "Did General Tai Shiyuan not control the plague? I heard that the imperial capital has provided a lot of supplies, and there is already an antidote for this plague."
The old man said: "It was the autumn harvest when the plague broke out. Heavy rains for several days caused the people to harvest nothing. Although the plague was gone, the people had no food to eat, so they had no choice but to migrate to the mountains."
"Thanks to the general for taking pity on us ordinary people and allowing us to pass through the pass, otherwise we would not have been able to pass. I heard that the general was punished for this matter. He stayed here to guard the pass and was not allowed to return to the court."
"Who would have expected that things would be difficult here on the mountain side. The plague has been solved now. We can't protect ourselves and there is no way for us to eat. They say the imperial capital is the richest, so we have no choice but to go to the nearby villages and towns to find a way to survive."
Ling Han had witnessed the symptoms of the plague with his own eyes. He was so weak that he couldn't get out of bed. Even if he watched the crops ripening, he was helpless. Then there was heavy rain, and all the good crops were destroyed.
With so many refugees, Ling Han couldn't take care of them even if he wanted to. He didn't bring much food, so it was all given to the people in distress.
"Peaceful times are the best times, but if there is a plague or natural disaster, it will be a catastrophe."
Dapeng was quite old and had never seen any ups and downs or hardships. Seeing that Mei Ruyu was still immersed in sadness, he comforted him: "The ghost realm has few people and strong abilities, so it is naturally easy to manage. The three great empires The area is so large and there are so many people. If one step is not done well, it will cause a catastrophe."
"Although the monster race has the most creatures, they all rely on the sky for food. They ask directly from nature. They can be said to have inexhaustible supplies. Human beings are different."
"If you choose to be self-sufficient, you will reap what you work for. If you have a stable harvest of food, you must take good care of it. If there is a big change, there will be famine for years. Because of right and wrong, you can't escape cause and effect."
"But fortunately, most of the time there are no natural disasters or wars. If we catch up with the harvest years, we don't have to worry about food and clothing for a few years. This is a good time for the people."
Ling Han sighed, "I hope there is a place to take them in, and that the Tianfu Empire can treat them well. The life of the hardworking people is the most difficult."
