Chapter 383: Turning stone into gold·Jade-white secret method?
The Yellow Turban Army has taken advantage of its geographical location and first-mover advantage of being relatively close to the "Gate of Catastrophe", and has gained a population of nearly half a million these days.
But problems also came one after another.
That is, it is difficult to accommodate so many people.
In particular, Zhang Jiao is not a human lord and cannot supply supplies through the "treasure box" given by the will of the earth. He can only rely on his own development. Nowadays, both food and resources are tight to a certain extent!
"In fact, Zhang Jiao invited Mr. Shui Jing and Shi Yuan to Bai Yujing this time because there are more refugees rescued now, and the food we originally prepared is somewhat insufficient... I wonder if Bai Yujing has extra food that can be sold to We need about 100,000 stones!"
Zhang Jiao, who was holding a nine-section staff, said first.
This is naturally necessary for summer!
Although the amount of spiritual rice that can be cultivated by Baiyu Jing's "five-color spiritual soil" is not very large, it is somewhat difficult to supply Baiyu Jingto.
But don’t forget that the entire canyon where Shen Xiuer’s “Lingquan” territory is located belongs to extremely high-quality spiritual soil, and the food cultivated is more than enough to feed millions of people...
"Great, the Yellow Turban Army is willing to trade these 100,000 stones of grain for the 'exotic treasures' or 'catastrophe orbs' left behind by the 'catastrophe creatures'..."
A look of joy appeared on Zhang Jiao's face. .
Except for those who have successfully "changed their lives", all the catastrophic creatures will be reduced to ashes once they die.
For this reason, it is very difficult to obtain food by hunting.
Fortunately, the catastrophe creatures will leave at least a certain amount of "catastrophe copper beads", and the "catastrophe creatures" rated silver or above will leave behind "catastrophe rare treasures".
The former can purchase items from the "Treasury of Catastrophe", and the latter allows people to directly obtain "power", which naturally has the value of serving as currency!
"If City Lord Xia is willing, can Bai Yujing help accept some of the refugees?"
However, what Zhang Jiao said next made Xia Tian stunned.
"Refugees?"
No lord would refuse "population".
In particular, the "Jianguo" seems not to have as strict a population requirement as it did in the village period.
But in fact there are still hidden "restrictions".
For example, Bai Yujing defeated a large number of foreign forces during this march, and prepared to build a large number of "towns" based on his territory to prepare for the "founding of the country", but this involved a problem.
The population is not enough!
Although Bai Yujing itself has a population of nearly one million, those people are concentrated in the main city.
The "Qi Luck Kingdom" is different from the "Qi Luck City". It not only requires the Qi Luck Sea of Clouds to cover thousands of miles, but also requires ten 'city' level, or hundreds of 'Qi Luck Town' level sub-territories...
< br>The foundation for building a 'Qi Luck Town' requires almost tens of thousands of people, and a 'Qi Luck City' requires a population of more than 100,000!
Calculated in this way, even if part of the population of the main city is relocated, Bai Yujing will have a staff gap of at least 500,000.
Of course, there is another way, which is to develop "affiliated territories" to make up for the shortcomings.
This time, the many territories in alliance with Bai Yujing, large and small, combined, have a population of one million without any problem.
It's just that the affiliated territory only provides half of the luck, which is still not as reliable as the own sub-territory.
Just like the "feudal system" and the "prefecture and county system", the experience of ancient China has long proved which system is more stable!
However, obtaining the population is not as simple as initially thought, especially when Xia Tian discovered that he had made a mistake!
I originally thought that the "Gate of Catastrophe" would attract human forces tens of thousands of miles around. It would be a good opportunity for Bai Yujing to recruit people, just like the last time the population of the "Imperial Tomb Secret Realm" exploded!
But now it has been several days since the city was built, and the number of refugees gathered does not even exceed 10,000 people every day, which is far from what was expected!
After thinking carefully, Xia Tian realized the reason.
That is because the "Human Race Secret Realm" was opened before. Everyone knew it was beneficial, so they gathered there. Now this "Door of Catastrophe" can be classified as a "bad thing". Except for the fate of the human race who have been ordered by the eternal will, the rest of the human race naturally cannot avoid it...
What can Bai Yujing really accept? They are refugees who are near the "Gate of Catastrophe". Due to the impact of catastrophic creatures, their homes have been broken and displaced...
The number of these human refugees is limited. Bai Yujing may only take the initiative to attack. , to be able to collect the population you need!
Of course, there are also special circumstances like now. Zhang Jiao actually takes the initiative to "give away people"?
"Is there any fraud in this?"
However, despite being happy, Xia Tian also had some doubts.
The Yellow Turban Army finally managed to gather such a large population, why did they have to "give them away"?
To be honest, this is the first time that Xia Tian has seen the force that drives his population outside...
"The ones accepted by the 'Taiping Dao' are believers, and those who are sincere will be spiritual." ...If you are not willing to believe in the 'Huang Tian', then you cannot become a member of the 'Yellow Turban Warriors'..."
As if seeing Xia Tian's doubts, Zhang Jiao, who was holding a nine-section talisman staff, said.
Xia Tian understands that this kind of religious power is different from the ordinary destiny kingdom. It requires pure "power of faith" to help establish the "Kingdom of God"!
Therefore, for Zhang Jiao, refugees who do not believe in "Huang Tian" not only cannot provide "the power of faith", but will also affect the remaining believers!
In addition to the problems of food and resources, it is better to keep these people to "affect the morale of the military".
It is better to find a more suitable place. For example, Bai Yujing!
"It is Bai Yujing's duty to save the human race!"
After understanding the reason, Xia Tian's heart was naturally full of joy. Now Bai Yujing itself has a population of more than 800,000. If it can really accept these 200,000 people, it will be enough for The total population has exceeded one million!
Although it is still far from the minimum of 1.5 million, it is enough to add twenty luck towns, which is worth a lot of money!
It is worth mentioning that only those who reach the level of "Qi Luck Town" are officially recognized as "sub-territories" by the Eternal Land.
Just like the "Mountain God Territory" is outside the coverage of Bai Yujing's sea of luck clouds, as a "city town" it can also generate a "sea of luck clouds", which is enough to carry the "Great Qin Chi Road" and so on. Special architectural features!
Of course, since the Yellow Turban Army provided such a large population, Bai Yujing could not help but express his opinion.
"Bai Yujing is willing to give an additional 100,000 shi of food from Taiping Road and 100,000 Tianyuan coins to show his gratitude to the great sage and mentor who saved the suffering people in the world!"
Xia Tian reciprocated the favor! , both parties were naturally happy to cooperate, and further discussed cooperation in other aspects.
Until the burning power of Zhang Jiao's "spiritual talisman" is exhausted.
Both parties can be said to be the host and guest enjoying themselves!
And reached a "strategic" cooperative relationship to deal with the catastrophic creatures.
"Congratulations to the Lord of the City, with this population of 200,000, Bai Yujing will soon be able to take a further step..."
At this time, Mr. Shui Jing, who had been watching the conversation between the two, , stroking his beard with his hand and saying with a smile on his face.
"I would also like to thank Mr. Shui Jing for this. If it weren't for your mediation, the Great Master might not have chosen Bai Yujing to cooperate."
Xia Tian also said with a smile.
"No, I'll tell you the truth, Lord City Lord. As for the great virtuous master sending people away, it is actually all Pang Shiyuan's credit..."
Mr. Shui Jing shook his head and looked at the ugly-looking Pang Tong next to him.
“Oh?”
Xia Tian’s face moved.
He asked, why would Zhang Jiao suddenly give him away when he was well?
To take a step back, even if it is to give away people, these people can be given to some forces that are not as powerful as Bai Yujing.
You know, the greater the population of Bai Yujing, the closer it will be to the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is naturally beneficial to the surrounding humans, but it also has "hidden dangers".
Normally, I would not choose this!
"I wonder, Mr. Fengchu, are you willing to serve as an official in Bai Yujing? Bai Yujing is willing to treat you as the master of the same palace..."
Palace Master, this is a very high status.
Generally speaking, even the most qualified people in Bai Yujing can only be awarded the gold medal after they themselves have reached the gold rating.
However, Pang Tong himself is a golden hero and has attracted a "population of 200,000" to Bai Yujing, so he is fully qualified to directly become the "lord of the palace"!
"I'm sorry, the Great Master has saved my life. This time I am traveling as a 'messenger'..."
Pang Tong actually yearned for Bai Yujing in his heart.
After all, this human territory, where he can exert his talents, is far superior to religious forces like the "Yellow Turban Army"!
However, various reasons made him unwilling to join now, and he wanted to use the Yellow Turban Army to "earn achievements" and compete with "Wolong".
"This object is the bone of a phoenix, a spiritual weapon that I have nourished with my essence and blood... Please accept it, Mr. Feng Chu..."
Although Xia Tian doesn't know what Pang Tong is thinking idea.
But he probably guessed it, so with a thought, a phoenix flew out from his chest, emitting the power of golden-red flames in the air, then it converged its breath and turned into a golden bone. , suspended next to Pang Tong!
"Qiang, Qiang?"
Immediately, there seemed to be a sense, and a translucent "little phoenix" flew out of Pang Tong's body, flying left and right around this "golden bone", giving out an extremely pleasant surprise. , kind and eager mental fluctuations!
This is a special rare treasure, which was opened from the first golden "Colorful Universe Gourd" that summer.
After almost half a year of maintenance through the "Method of Tempering Qi and Blood Soldiers" of the "Barbarians", now in terms of power alone, it is no less than a top-notch extraordinary spiritual weapon!
Now, it was given to Pang Tong, and his intention was self-evident.
"City Master Xia... this thing is too valuable. Please forgive Pang Tong for not accepting it for the time being."
Even Pang Tong, who has a proud heart, can't help but be moved, knowing that he is accompanied by this "Phoenix Spirit" It belongs to the "young phoenix" state and lacks a real physical body.
And Xia Tian's "Phoenix Bones" can be said to be tailor-made for him.
Moreover, this "Phoenix Bones" was formed by Xia Tian himself using his essence and blood, but he was willing to give it to him, which was even more significant!
Pang Tong himself still wanted to refuse, but the "Phoenix Spirit" looked like he had found a treasure. Seeing this situation, if he didn't agree, I'm afraid the "Little Phoenix" would stay in Bai Yujing!
When the time comes, it may be difficult for a scribe like me who is "powerless" to "get things done" in the Eternal Land.
"Then Pang Tong would be disrespectful!"
In the end, he could only be "forced" to accept it.
On the surface, he still maintained his "arrogance", but in his heart, he was convinced by Xia Tian's method.
Just like an ancient emperor taking off the jade pendant he had worn for many years and giving it to his courtiers, the size of the gift is no longer important, what is important is the meaning!
Of course, things worn by emperors are generally not bad.
"Haha, Palace Master Zhuge has returned from outside after learning the news about the two of them. He also asked Mr. Fengchu to stay for a while... In two days, I asked Master Zhao to lead someone to escort Mr. Fengchu. Go back..."
Of course, in addition to escorting Pang Tong "back to the Yellow Turban Army", its main purpose is to accept the "200,000" refugees!
......
"Sir, Mr. Murong would like to see you!"
After Pang Tong and Sima Hui left, A'Zhu walked in again and brought a piece of news.
"Oh, the secret method of 'Dou Zhuan Xing Yuan'?"
"Mr. Murong is willing to take out the secret method passed down from his family. Bai Yujing is very grateful. A'Zhu, go get five 'Real Person Pills', five A thousand Tianyuan coins for Mr. Murong..."
Strictly speaking, Xia Tian really doesn't have much favorable impression of Murong Fu.
Just because this person has a cold heart, he will not hesitate to use any means to achieve his goals, and he can even kill his relatives and the generals he follows. In a sense, it is better than Dongfang Bubai and Xiongba, who are of the same category. The "villains" are even more disgusting!
But the skill he handed in had really good attributes.
[Star Shift (Gold)]
[Level] Extraordinary
[Type] Secret Technique
[Characteristic] Star Shift (can divert various attacks, Change its trajectory), return the favor (after practicing to the level of 'Master', you can return the opponent's attack to yourself)
[Explanation] At the end of the Five Dynasties, a martial arts prodigy named Murong Longcheng emerged from the Murong family. He created the superb martial arts of "turning the stars and moving around". He was invincible and became famous all over the world! Due to the instructions of the ancestors, he intended to restore the country, but the world must be reunited after being divided for a long time. During the Song Dynasty, the world was peaceful and people's minds were in order. Although Murong Longcheng's martial arts was strong, he made no achievements in the end and died in depression!
Spiritual skills and secrets, in terms of value alone, seem to be inferior to magic and magical powers!
For individuals, this is indeed the case.
Just like "Eye of the Wind" and "Da Luo Cave", the value of the latter is definitely higher.
But for a force, "spiritual skills and secret techniques" are more valuable.
Because everyone can practice spiritual skills and secret techniques, but it is difficult to directly obtain alien arts and supernatural powers through practice.
But it needs to meet various conditions, and even relies on the "inheritance" method to be able to use it!
Therefore, for Bai Yujing, the overall value of the "Star Movement" secret technique handed over by Murong Fu should be even higher than ordinary magic, which is why Xia Tian is willing to give a high reward!
["Do you want to spend 100 merits and 100,000 luck to 'turn stones into gold'?"]
What makes Xia Tian a little surprised is that when he gets it, there is a will of the earth in his hand. Cue, springs to mind in the summer.
"Can golden items also be 'turned into gold'?"
Xia Tian was stunned at first.
However, I immediately remembered that before turning stone into gold, the golden color was limited because it required "the power of merit" to strengthen it to the jade white level!
Bai Yujing has killed a large number of catastrophic creatures in these days.
And they are the majority of the catastrophic creatures who have "exchanged lives" in the Eternal Land!
The "merits of heaven and earth" provided by these creatures are far more powerful than those of Bai Yujing's previous catastrophic creatures. Now Bai Yujing's accumulated merits have already reached more than 5,000. It's perfectly fine to spend a hundred merits to test it!
"Use..."
A purplish-gold light enveloped me, and after it dissipated, the "secret method" in my hand had changed its appearance.
【Stars Move (Jade White)】
【Level】Extraordinary
[Type] Secret Technique
[Characteristics] Dou Zhuan Xing Shi Shi (can directly control various tangible and even invisible attacks), return the body (the mastery level reaches 'expert level' or above, and can transfer the attack amplification to the opponent's body) Return to the other body)
[Explanation] The secret method of star-shifting, obtained through the strengthening of "Midas into gold".
[Remarks] Dou Zhuan Xing Yi's manipulation targets are limited to "spiritual skills and secret techniques. "Return to the Other Body" requires that one's own comprehensive cultivation level is similar to that of the opponent, and the power that can be increased depends on one's understanding of the opponent's attack. , and the difference in strength between the two sides!
