If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 301 Continue to retreat
Zhu Zhanyu and Ah Qing then left Nanjing and used the flying escape method again to fly back to Kyushu Island.

Although she has received the title of Dragon King of the South China Sea from the imperial court, what A Qing cares about most now is the true dragon's blood that Zhu Zhanquan promised her. As for going to the South China Sea to perform her duties?
There is nothing. She, the Dragon King, is not even a dragon. How can she perform her duties?So she followed Zhu Zhankun and returned to Jiuzhou Island.

"I need to protect my princess, do you want to come with me? Or do you have somewhere else to go?" Back on Kyushu Island, Zhu Zhanjuan asked Ah Qing.

He himself still needs to go back to Asu Mountain to protect Meng Qinglin who is reshaping his body, but he can't just leave A Qing with such a powerful cultivation, so it is the safest way to let A Qing follow him.

However, bound by the oath, Ah Qing has now been linked to the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Zhanyu is not worried that she will really cause something out of control.

She is just a snake spirit in the tribulation stage. If something happens to her, even if she only shows her prototype, it will be easy for her to flatten mountains and destroy cities on this three-acre land of Kyushu Island.

This is Zhu Zhanqi's own fiefdom, and he can't let people be so arrogant.

"Let's come together. It just so happens that I have to retreat to refine the blood of the true dragon, so I can lend you to protect the Dharma." Ah Qing didn't have that much on his mind, or it could be said that the goblin's thoughts were relatively pure. Zhu Zhanyu expressed the invitation in his words. Meaning, she didn't refuse.

When Zhu Zhanjun heard what she said, he nodded with satisfaction and took her back to Mount Aso.

During the time when Meng Qinglin was reshaping his body, Zhu Zhanquan was not idle. He used the technique of moving mountains to adjust the terrain of Mount Aso. He also sorted out the trend of the mountains to free up space for building military camps in the future. .

According to Zhu Zhanjun's plan, this will be an important place for Zheng Fan to train his troops in the future, and all Zheng Fan's troops will receive training here.

It's not that he wants to train them all into Tao soldiers. Zhu Zhanquan is not that extravagant, nor is he so exaggerated that he wants to train all his soldiers into Tao soldiers.

Doing that, even if it was just a Taoist soldier of the lowest level, would be enough to make Zhu Zhanquan empty out the mountain at his feet.

This investment was obviously too large, and so many Taoist soldiers were a bit redundant for Zhu Zhanchun.

After all, Zheng Fan now has ten guard posts under his name according to court regulations, which adds up to nearly [-] troops.

Among them, only the Qingyu Guards are serious Taoist soldiers, but they are only the lowest level of Taoist soldiers. They even do not have the weapons and armor that real Taoist soldiers should be equipped with. They still use certain technologies developed by Zhu Zhanquan. Improved mundane equipment.

For real Tao soldiers, not to mention that all members are equipped with magical weapons, they must at least be equipped with second-class talismans, right?If you don't have these configurations, you can't really be considered a real Taoist soldier in the world of immortality.

In the past, there were not enough conditions, but now Zhu Zhanqi still hopes to build a Taoist army with a certain level of cultivation and complete equipment and weapons.

This is not only his need, but also the need of future Meng Qinglin, but also the need of Ah Qing, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, and the entire Ming Dynasty.

Of course, at the moment, Zhu Zhanchun has only leveled out a suitable site. As for the military camp for training Taoist soldiers and the supporting formations, that is a follow-up matter.

"The earth veins gather here, it is indeed a good place for retreat!" Ah Qing could naturally see the extraordinary nature of this place, and understood why Zhu Zhanqun used this place as a retreat place.

Although the power of earth veins cannot be extracted at will, ordinary people neither dare nor have the ability to do so, but for those who have the ability, a place like this where the power of earth veins is rich can extract a small amount for their own cultivation. Still no problem at all.If we were in an era when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was rich, everyone might be more willing to find spiritual veins or cave heaven blessings to practice. The power of this kind of earth veins is relatively not so gentle and is not suitable for practice.

However, Ah Qing used his spiritual thoughts to sense it, and he could clearly feel that after the power of the earth veins here was extracted, it was adjusted to a certain extent through a magic circle, making it much gentler.

This also makes the area where Ah Qing and Zhu Zhanjuan are now almost equivalent to the level of the era when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant.

This level of heaven and earth spiritual energy is naturally dispensable for people with cultivation levels like Zhu Zhanqun and A Qing, but if it is used to train Taoist soldiers or cultivate practitioners, it can indeed be regarded as a treasure land.

"You can find a cave in the nearby mountains, or you can open a cave, grass reed, or other place for shelter. I need to protect my concubine and have no time to entertain you." Zhu Zhanqi sat cross-legged on a piece of bluestone. , two simple sentences explained to Ah Qing.

It's not that Zhu Zhanjun couldn't even come up with something to entertain Ah Qing, but it's not necessary.

At their level of cultivation, they can sit on the ground and be protected from wind and rain. Whether it is a luxurious palace or a dilapidated grass and reed, they are nothing more than external objects.

If he really wants to be extravagant, Zhu Zhanquan also has a palace-style magic weapon in his pocket. If he throws it out, he will be a palace not much smaller than the Nanjing Imperial Palace. There is nothing wrong with it whether it is for entertaining guests or enjoying it by himself.

But this is really not necessary, because when their cultivation reaches their level, they have already passed the stage of pursuing enjoyment. This kind of external object that is just for enjoyment has no meaning to them.

Unless he deliberately indulges himself, no monk who has formed a golden elixir will care about these false gifts and external things.

So Ah Qing didn't find it strange that Zhu Zhanqun asked her to find a cave by herself. After nodding her head, she actually flew to a nearby mountain to find a cave to start retreating and refine the true dragon's blood.

At this time, Zhu Zhanyu was communicating with Meng Qinglin using his spiritual thoughts.

"Dragon King of the East China Sea? You have given me a good job!" Meng Qinglin's tone seemed angry, but Zhu Zhanqi could tell that she was not angry: "Right now, my cultivation has not fully recovered, and I am still a long way from being the Dragon King. With such a gap, I'm afraid I can't afford the title of Dragon King of the East China Sea.

And I won this honor without even making any contribution..."

Meng Qinglin still had the same mindset as before in the world of immortality. She felt that she was suddenly promoted to such a high position without any merit, which made her feel uneasy about being unworthy of her position.

And when she was in the world of immortality, although the old dragon kings of the dragon clan were optimistic about her and wanted to train her into a new dragon king.

But after all, Meng Qinglin is just a general of the Dragon Palace who has not yet condensed the body of a true dragon, and does not even have the title of Dragon Princess. The gap between the two is still a bit big.

Zhu Zhanyu didn't care about this, and enlightened Meng Qinglin: "You also know what the Ming Dynasty is like now. The East China Sea is close to my fiefdom, and the identity of the Dragon King of the East China Sea is very important. In addition to you being the Dragon King, I Who else could I give this seat to?"
