Blue Silver Grass Strategy

The metal ring, which is made entirely of "heavy black steel", is engraved with complex patterns, and each of the four corners is inlaid with a white crystal the size of an adult's fist.

"Gravity Soul Guide Array": By consuming the soul power in the "Soul Storage Crystal", you can adjust the gravity multiples in the array by yourself.

The four "Soul-Testing Crystals" can be activated individually or added in sequence until all four are fully powered, and the gravity increases from 0.1 times to 0.2 times, 0.4 times, and 0.8 times.

Although he doesn't have the original gravity soul skill that can adjust the gravity between one and three times as well, but these four levels are enough to strengthen Ling Yi's physique again.

In particular, after using the "Gravity Soul Guide Array Diagram" to enhance gravity, when practicing "Beast Martial Soul·Xingyi Boxing", the effect of tempering the internal organs is amazing!

At this moment, feeling the trembling and fatigue of every muscle and organ in his body, Ling Yi suddenly felt a sense of joy for no reason.

He hasn't felt this way for a long time.

Ling Yi focused his mind and stopped having random thoughts. He concentrated all his attention on his body.

Unlike the past when he felt insecure, no matter how he practiced, he would always keep a part of his mind on the outside world. At this moment, Ling Yi even restrained this part of his mind and immersed himself in practice.

On the beam more than ten meters above the ground, Meow, whose fur had become even more colorful, was crawling quietly. Its pair of eyes glowing with a faint light illuminated the entire space below, and its erect triangular ears twitched from time to time, receiving all the movements from the outside world.

In the center of the Yin-Yang Stone Platform, Ling Yi grasped the rhythm of his own life in an instant.

From breathing, heartbeat, pulse, blood flow, and even the mental fluctuations that spontaneously radiate from the brain, all of these together constitute the fluctuations of Ling Yi's life magnetic field.

It has been seventeen years since Ling Yi came to this world, and nearly seventeen years since he has been exploring the "Way of the Soul". It took him two or three years from being unable to enter the door in the beginning to being able to enter the "deep sleep state" through self-adjustment, long periods of meditation, breathing, and guidance, and later to being able to enter the "deep sleep state" anytime and anywhere.

But, in the third stage, he entered a 'deep sleep state' during exercise, which trapped Ling Yi for thirteen or fourteen years!

There are many reasons for this. The lack of that spiritual touch is one aspect, and the inability to devote wholeheartedly to practice is also a very important reason!

A sense of security is not something you can gain by simply staying in an impregnable fortress.

What is needed is more of a spiritual feeling.

At this moment, in an environment with 1.8 times the normal gravity of Douluo Continent, Ling Yi's body felt the long-lost fatigue and sense of limit, but his mind felt a true tranquility for the first time.

Without the need to pinch the 'Lin Seal' with his hands, Ling Yi's mind automatically entered the state of 'keeping quiet', with his mind and body in a wonderful spiritual state.

It's like switching from a first-person perspective to a third-person perspective.

His body was practicing one by one the nine moves of "Beast Martial Soul: Xingyi Boxing" which were so familiar that they had even formed muscle memory, but his mind was asleep. However, the sleeping mind could see everything outside, but everything outside flashed through his mind like a montage.

At this moment, Ling Yi was like the protagonists in two ancient movies in his previous life, a man with a big nose and drunken eyes performing "Drunken Fist", and a sloppy beggar with disheveled hair performing "Sleeping Arhat Fist" with his eyes closed.

The former means 'the mind is intoxicated but the heart is not intoxicated, the steps are intoxicated but the heart is not intoxicated'.

What about the latter?

Ling Yi had no idea, he only knew that his body, which had naturally grown and strengthened with the increase of his soul power and age over the past two years, had once again shown an improvement and strengthening that was noticeable, albeit slowly!

Chapter 134 A Transfer Order

"What? Ling boy is not here?"

In Beikouhe Town, on the second floor of a street-facing restaurant, Dugu Bo frowned, somewhat unexpectedly, he came here from afar, only to end up with nothing.

"Dad, are we still going to that Shanhaiyuan?"

At the side, a little boy of about twelve or thirteen raised his head, looked at Dugu Bo, and asked softly.

Dugu Xin, twelve years old, martial soul "Green Phosphorus Snake", innate soul power level seven, currently a level twenty-fifth control-type soul master.

Like Dugu Bo, he has black hair and green eyes, and his face is fair and handsome, but with a bit of femininity.

Hearing his son's question, Dugu Bo thought about the content of the conversation he had just heard from the passers-by, which only mentioned that Lord/Baron Ling Yi left the territory two days ago.

There was no news about where they went or when they would return. After all, it was just a chat between two civilians.

Dugu Bo thought of this, turned to look at his son Dugu Xin, and said calmly: "Go, why not go, I took you out this time to let you see more of the outside world, instead of immersing yourself in the false glory of your academy-"

"It's just a junior spirit master academy. As my son, Dugu Bo, isn't it natural for you to get first place in the academy?"

"But you have to know that even your father and I are not considered masters in this Douluo Continent. You still have a long way to go—"

As they were talking, the restaurant staff came over with a large tray and the food they ordered came up.

"Let's eat first, then we'll go to Shanhaiyuan to see if it's really like what those guys said--" Dugu Bo said.

Dugu Xin nodded when he heard this and responded: "Yes. Dad, if nothing else, the town we are in now is different from other towns we have seen before -"

It is naturally different, whether it is the planning and layout, the cleanliness and sanitation, or the mental outlook of the people coming and going in the town, it gives people a feeling that the development is decades or even hundreds of years ahead of the outside world.

'Prosperous, peaceful, clean...'

The father and son turned to look at the street view outside the window. They thought at the same time as they saw the scene outside which did not look like what should be seen in the tiny country like [Mizuki Principality].

An hour later, when Dugu Bo and his son Dugu Xin walked along the official road built by "Blue Silver Collar" all the way to Shanhai Garden, before they could introduce themselves, they saw the middle door opened and a series of figures came out one after another, and lined up on both sides to greet them.

"Senior Dugu~"*3

Four tall figures walked out in parallel from under the wide-open gate. Long Yin, Zhang Mufeng and Qingqiu Xin were among them. Although Dugu Bo did not know the fourth person, after thinking about the information Ling Yi had mentioned, a name emerged in Dugu Bo's mind: Zhang Lei.

Ling Yi's cousin, the chief steward of Shanhaiyuan.

"Senior, long time no see——!"

Long Yin stepped forward to greet Dugu Bo and his son, with a look of joy at seeing them again after a long separation, and began by greeting them.

Then he reached out and held Zhang Lei's arm, and continued: "Let me introduce you, this is Brother Yi's cousin. When Brother Yi was away, Brother Lei helped to take care of the entire 'Blue Silver Collar' and the huge Shanhai Garden behind him--"

"Junior Zhang Lei, nice to meet you, Senior Dugu!" Zhang Lei clasped his fists and bowed.

Dugu Bo took a quick glance with his green eyes and discovered the nineteenth-level soul power in Zhang Lei's body. What surprised him was that in addition to the soul power and the surging blood like Long Yin and others, Zhang Lei also had a faint bloody aura.

Dugu Bo had only seen this kind of aura in a few soul masters who had fought on the battlefield for many years.

Even the captain named Jiang Yuan who had been with Ling Yi before, Dugu Bo did not detect this kind of bloody aura in him.

With thoughts turning in his mind, Dugu Bo rarely put on airs. After responding with a "hello", he introduced his son Dugu Xin to Zhang Lei, Long Yin and others.

Afterwards, Dugu Bo learned the exact news about Ling Yi from Long Yin and others.

Ling Yi did leave 'Blue Silver Collar' two days ago.

At that time, a transfer document from "Muzhi Castle" brought the official order of the [Mizuki Principality].

As a baron of the [Shuimu Principality], Ling Yi previously served in the Cold Wind Camp in the North. Even now, Ling Yi is still famous in the military department of the Principality, whether it is for public or private purposes. They are unable to refuse formal orders from the authorities.

The content of the document is simple, but also somewhat complicated.

To put it simply, the suzerain state of the [Shuimu Principality], the [Tiandou Empire], has recently been having minor frictions with the [Xingluo Empire], and seeing that the situation is getting worse, in order to reduce the suzerain state's own combat power loss, it ordered the subordinate kingdoms and principalities to mobilize troops and manpower to go to the front lines of the two empires to hold on.

Although it is said to be complicated, there are actually much fewer words on paper.

There is only one sentence: I have heard that Baron Ling Yi is known as the "Great Doctor" and that one person can defeat eight thousand soldiers!

This is quite intriguing.

Well, I understand everything.

Therefore, Ling Yi set off without any delay, the first stop: "Muzhi City".

Let's find out whether those words were said by the masters in the upper echelons of the principality, or came from outside the principality...

At the same time, we also need to make some adjustments to the [Blacksmith Association·Mizumi Principality Branch] which is currently developing in full swing. It’s time to slow down the pace.

[Shuimu Principality] is such a tiny place, if one family eats too much, there will always be someone who will eat less.

Even though Ling Yi has tried his best to make the cake bigger, there are always some corners that cannot be taken care of.

Those who have planned everything and taken everything into consideration are not the wise men, but the authors and readers.

"Muzhi Castle", the headquarters of the Blacksmith Guild.

Ling Yi, who had just walked out of the palace a quarter of an hour ago, still had that smile on his face that seemed to never fade away. He greeted every person he met, whether known or not, and walked upstairs.

"Master... eh? Jinhua is here too? Long time no see—"

Ling Yi knocked on the door of his master, Mr. Jin's room. After receiving a response, he pushed the door open, glanced at the two figures inside, one sitting and one standing, and greeted them.

Jin Hua, the sixth child of Mr. Jin's third son, Jiang Yuan's cousin, is ten years old now. His martial spirit is the Jin family's "Iron Refining Gauntlet".

Judging from the aura, is this the tenth level of soul power?

"Ayi is here——" "Hello, Uncle Lingyi——!"

When Grandpa Jin and his grandson Jin Hua saw Ling Yi, they both smiled sincerely and responded happily.

"Master." Ling Yi first bowed respectfully to Mr. Jin, then stood up when the old man pretended to be unhappy. He cast his eyes at Jin Hua who was standing in front of the desk, looked him up and down, and asked with a smile:

"Jinhua, you are not studying in the academy at this time. Your soul power has reached level ten? Do you want to ask the master to arrange a soul hunt for you?"

“This brat,” before Jin Hua could reply, Old Master Jin next to him said with an unhappy look on his face, “He just broke through to level ten and he couldn’t wait any longer and came here, saying he wanted to hunt for spirit rings…”

"Ayi, you talk to him. The old man told him not to rush and to go back and polish it, but he refused to do so!"

On Douluo Continent, once the vast majority of soul masters have broken through to level ten, they will rush to absorb soul rings to break through.

This is the most common and preferred choice by most soul masters.

However, in some soul master families with a rich heritage and assets, they would choose to stay for a period of time, continuing to accumulate soul power to consolidate their realm, while also using soul power to nourish their bodies and make their physiques stronger.

In this way, when you absorb spirit rings again, the lifespan of the spirit rings you can endure will be higher.

Therefore, Mr. Jin's advice to his grandson at this time is also a little trick that the Jin family has learned from the old families in the principality over the years.

Ling Yi remembered that in the original work, both Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao had used words or actions to allow the protagonist Tang San to stay at the tenth level so that he could continue to cultivate his soul power and strengthen his body.

But, he is the protagonist, and his cultivation speed is comparable to or even exceeds the innate full soul power.

Ling Yi did not follow Mr. Jin's words to persuade Jin Hua. He gave him a reassuring look and said to Mr. Jin:

"Master, the method you mentioned of staying in a certain state and tempering oneself is generally applicable to those genius soul masters with innate soul power level 7, 8, or even level 9 and full soul power. For those of us with low qualifications, it is not worth the loss."

"Think about it, a six-year-old child with full innate soul power, once his martial soul awakens, his soul power will directly reach level ten. It would be better for him to stay for a while and polish his physique."

“But Jinhua is already ten years old now. In terms of physical fitness, he has swung a hammer a lot over the years. It should be a sure thing for him to absorb a spirit ring of one or two hundred years. I think it’s not impossible to give it a try for a spirit ring of three hundred years…”

"If he stays at that state, his physical fitness won't improve dramatically in a short period of time, so the gains won't outweigh the losses—"

Chapter 135 Home Job

[Tiandou Empire], Fasno Province, a hundred miles south of "Nottingham City".

"Have the people from [Mizuki Principality] arrived?"

Gor, wearing golden armor and riding on the back of a white tiger with black stripes, asked casually to his personal soldiers riding tall horses beside him.

Although the personal soldier was sitting upright on his horse, he also bent down in time, saluted and replied: "Replying to the Marshal, they are here. They arrived yesterday. At that time, you were handling military affairs, and Commander Zhuoer arranged for them to find a place to camp outside our camp..."

"Hmm~" Gore casually glanced at the "Blue Silver Grass" near and far and nodded. He just thought of it suddenly and just asked, not really caring.

Of course, he had no intention of meeting the "reinforcements" from the [Principality of Shuimu].

They are nothing but cannon fodder.

……

[Shuimu Principality] Camp.

Jiang Yuan patrolled the area with ease, paying attention to the soldiers' emotions and chatting with them from time to time.

"Brother Yuan."

When Jiang Yuan returned to his tent, he saw Li Zhishu who had been waiting there.

"Old Li is here~"

Jiang Yuan nodded, and led Li Zhishu into the tent. He walked on the soft "Blue Silver Grass" all over the ground and came to the inside. He took off the sword from his waist and placed it on the table. He turned to Li Zhishu and asked, "Tell me, is there something wrong with Tiandou again?"

"Yeah." Li Zhishu nodded, with a little indignation on his slightly round face, and said with resentment: "Brother Yuan, Tiandou is a little bit inhumane!"

"Although we agreed at the beginning that we foreign troops would provide our own food and fodder, but Brother Yuan, you also know that we have more than 10,000 people this time, and 2,000 to 3,000 war horses..."

"The food this man eats from horses, the food he brought from the Principality can only last him ten days or half a month at most, so he has to buy it from the cities behind Tiandou."

"But!" Li Zhishu paused, gritted his teeth and said, "I just went to the 'Notting City' behind to inquire. All the grain sales stores in the city, whether official or private, have been put into the military supply warehouse at the market price in advance. If we want to buy grain, we can only buy it from the military supply warehouse!"
