"Failed? It seems that the accumulation is not enough. You don't have to worry about it. Given time, it will naturally happen."

Knowing that Li Wan tried to be promoted but failed, Xiao Qingning, as always, comforted him gently.

"It shouldn't be because of insufficient accumulation." Li Wan smiled wryly upon hearing this.

Over the past few thousand years, he has accumulated a lot of money, just to be able to break through one after another when necessary. Now he has successfully mastered the legal domain and promoted to the fifth level, but he has not taken advantage of the trend to go further. Presumably there should be a deviation somewhere, not a lack of accumulation.

"My Cloud Canopy already possesses eighteen layers of cosmic domes. It should not be that this natal magic weapon is insufficient, and the natal magic weapon is not the only condition for promotion. My own breakthrough can also promote its transformation in turn."

"From this point of view, it should be that I ignored the difference between the laws of the world and the original power before, and created the nightmare world, and everything went well, because there are still remnants of immortality in it. , is nothing more than assembling and combining the original things, but creating your own treasure world is completely different from using someone else's nightmare world."

Li Wan didn't realize until now that those experiences were not useless, but they were not as useful as imagined.

"How can we truly break through? Do we still have to wait for Xubao Dongtian to automatically perfect and derive the origin of good fortune?"

One is automatic improvement, the other is active improvement, each has its own characteristics, it all depends on how he chooses.

But Li Wan didn't have a clue for the time being, so he had to give up this idea for the time being.

……

Li Wan's side has a little trouble, but the battle in the lower realm is still going on. The people of Bailianmen are in full swing, taking Renshan and preparing to march southeast.

At this time, there are only five years to leave the war.

"Sect master, the disciples are all ready to take up the post at any time. Please also ask for instructions!"

In the southeast of Renshan Mountain, in a Bailianmen stronghold with a temporary formation and other courtyards, several elders in charge of the alchemy realm saluted and saw Zhu Xiaodong, and then reported it.

"Very good, much faster than this seat's request, you guys did a good job." Zhu Xiaodong smiled.

"From now on, we will divide our troops into two groups, each taking Xu Valley a hundred miles to the east and Xiaoshifeng 230 miles to the south, Elder Xu. You lead two hundred disciples and go with 2000 new recruits and dead soldiers. Elder Xiao, you Lead a hundred disciples, together with Ke Qing, 200 dead soldiers, if you can win, you will attack with all your strength, if the defending enemy exceeds half of you, then suspend the offensive, and within ten days there will be rearranged backup to support." Zhu Xiaodong said again.

"Yes!"

"I'll wait to understand."

"Is there anything else?"

"This time we were able to take all of Ren Shan. The support from the upper realm is very important, and the disciples are very satisfied. However, there are some magic weapons that are not very easy to use. If there is a chance, please tell them about it." The elder in charge remembered one thing.especially reminded.

"It doesn't matter. The members of the Qi Sect have long said that there are some experimental new magic weapons mixed in. They are put into the battlefield for the purpose of testing. We send manpower to test for them. It is also appropriate to give some opinions." Zhu Xiaodong heard this, his eyes widened. Nudge, said.

"Then there will be Master Laomen." The elder in charge submitted the report.

Another elder in charge said: "Proprietor, we have recently received a report that members of the Lingbao Sect have entered and exited the Corpse Soul Sect and the Yuling Sect, and they seem to have plans to buy soldiers from them."

Zhu Xiaodong's expression changed slightly, and he asked in surprise, "The Corpse Soul Sect, the Imperial Spirit Sect?"

Corpse Soul Sect and Yulingzong, together with Lingbaozong itself, have always been the source of cannon fodder and miscellaneous soldiers purchased by all parties in wars, because Corpse Soulzong has corpse puppets, Yulingzong has demon spirits, and Lingbaozong has puppets, all It is an existence that can replace strangers and go to battle to kill enemies.

The Zongmen sect recruits a group of disciples from the mortal world every once in a while, some of them will die during the experience, but there has never been a large-scale casualty. If they are consumed in a war, it is easy to hurt the sect's foundation.

At this time, it is no longer the medieval era where the disciples of the disciples were treated like nothing, and the real consumption is the dead warriors and the like.

However, in recent years, the Lingbao Sect has suffered heavy casualties, and the suitable dead soldiers are far more expensive than corpse puppets, demon spirits, puppets and the like. The Lingbao Sect seems to intend to buy a large number of them to replace the disciples and recruited loose cultivators as vanguards. , and the latter, of course, did not have nothing to do with himself, but continued to act as a leader or a candidate for special warfare.

Therefore, Zhu Xiaodong's expression changed only slightly, and he recovered: "The Lingbao Sect lost Ren Shanyuan, and it's a bit embarrassing. It seems that the main battle faction is about to turn around."

"What does the sect master mean by this? Didn't he say last year that they are preparing for peace talks?" The elder in charge was very surprised.

"You don't understand the thinking of those elders of the Lingbao Sect. In their opinion, the matter of Ren Shanyuan is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, which is not a serious problem. However, the loss of land is a minor issue, and the loss of face is a major issue. It is a bit too much to take Ren Shanyuan entirely. , Even if it is to maintain the image of the sect, it has to invest capital and fight a big battle, so the talk of peace talks will be suppressed for the time being." Zhu Xiaodong said helplessly.

After hearing this, the elders in charge looked at each other in blank dismay, suddenly felt that the elders really deserved to be the elders, and the thoughts in their hearts were really unpredictable and difficult to understand.

"So what should we do?" someone asked.

"At this point, we can only move forward and cannot retreat. Don't forget that the Mu family and the venerables of Qizong have high hopes for us." When talking about the words "high hopes", Zhu Xiaodong's face appeared There was a faint hint of bitterness, but it also revealed a resolute fighting spirit.

"Indeed, we can only advance, not retreat. We don't just need to find a place to stand, but we also need to open up the situation." Everyone was silent for a while, all talking.

……

At this time, in the distance of Zhongzhou, in the Xuanyin Underworld to which the Corpse Soul Sect belongs, in a desolate small mountain village.

Frowning, several monks dressed in fine clothes and jade crowns frowned and landed slowly, but their feet didn't touch the ground, and they floated a few feet above.

"Yuanxi Mountain Village is here, why haven't the people from Corpse Soul Sect arrived yet?"

Someone looked around, frowned and said.

"No, they've already arrived." The leader, holding a dust whisk in his hand, said with a middle-aged monk with a distinctive appearance and a brocade robe inlaid with gold and silver cloud patterns.

"Master Yuan, you really have sharp eyesight, but I have been waiting here for a long time."

A long laugh came from the soil not far from the crowd. In the wasteland in front of them, the ground suddenly split open, and a group of corpse puppets in old robes stood up and crawled out of it.

Among these hideous and ugly corpse puppets, several wooden coffins were also erected upright, and it was still visible, and the soil that was stuck on them fell rustlingly.

Several monks wearing black and yellow Taoist robes, ancient crowns, and strange dao patterns painted on the clothes like ghost symbols pushed open the coffin lid and walked out of it.

They are members of the Corpse Soul Sect, and they were ordered to approach the Lingbao Sect here in order to complete a large deal.

"Why are you hiding there?" asked the middle-aged monk known as Master Yuan.

When the people behind heard the words, they couldn't help showing a look of disgust, but they still didn't say anything more after all.

The members of the Corpse Soul Sect were probably used to seeing similar expressions, so they didn't care. The leader explained with a smile: "I didn't hide it. I rushed here overnight. I came here a long time ago, but everyone from your side hasn't arrived yet. There is nowhere to go nearby, so I simply went down to rest for a while."

Although he was smiling, trying to show his enthusiastic side as much as possible, but because of the sect's martial arts, his whole body was pale and ghastly, like a mummified corpse, which added a bit of horror.

However, Master Yuan and his entourage were well-informed, so they nodded: "I'm really sorry for being late."

"Master Yuan doesn't need to worry about it. The agreed time is just right. We are too early. And this time you are customers, so we should wait here." Although the mummy-like monk looked creepy, he had a good temper. What he said put the Lingbao sect members in a good mood, and even looking at him felt pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, this time the sect bought 30 bronze armored corpse soldiers and [-] iron armored corpse soldiers. Have you brought them all?" Master Yuan asked after exchanging greetings with the corpse soul sect member.

"Of course it's all ready, please fellow daoists check it out." The Corpse Soul Sect member reached into his bosom, and took out an ancient copper bell with rusty spots, shook it a few times, and it jingled.

With the ringing of the bell, a cold, decadent atmosphere permeated the air.

One after another, crooked or skinny human figures crawled out of the nearby soil. Unlike the cotton-robed corpse puppets that appeared before, these were all fully armed corpse soldiers wearing copper and iron armor and holding swords.

Not long after, with the huge deserted village as the center, a few li inside and outside were filled with black copper and iron corpse soldiers.

Although they are all inconspicuous, they are full of sinister energy, with a crowd of 30, their power is comparable to top experts, even Master Yuan and others can't help being moved by them.

Although he is not very proficient in the way of corpse soul and the method of refining corpses, Master Yuan still performed his duties, went forward to patrol around, and roughly checked the cultivation level and number of these corpse soldiers.

"Okay, three thousand spiritual jades for a bronze armored corpse soldier, 18 spiritual jades for an iron armored corpse soldier, a total of [-] billion spiritual jades, according to the Zongli agreement, we pay [-] million spiritual jades, and the remaining one billion, according to the market price Seventy percent of the corresponding magical artifacts and corpse equipment should be used to make up, here is the [-] million spiritual jade brought by Yuan, please have a look at it, fellow daoists."

"Hehe, then Lin would be more respectful than obedient." The leader of the Corpse Soul Sect laughed, but he didn't inspect it himself, but handed it over to his subordinates.

He pointed to the hundreds of corpse puppets in cotton robes and coir raincoats beside him, and said, "These are the mysterious Yin corpse puppets specially made by our sect. It is several times stronger, and it also possesses Xuanyin Jueve, which can be nourished by Yin Qi, and can be promoted through cultivation, and it is a gift to everyone, which is a small meaning and cannot be respected."

While speaking, he beckoned and asked someone to deliver the corresponding numbered notation and control talisman.

"Fellow Daoist has a heart." Master Yuan was noncommittal, but he was not polite, and accepted all of them. (To be continued..)
