Chapter 730: Dancheng
With a flick of Li Ling's hand, the positive herb of a thousand ingots of immortal gold was put into his sleeve, which was a vast array of things, capable of loading all things.
After buying the herbs, Li Ling hurried back to the stone forest, it was already evening, and there was silence all around, but there was also the sound of insects.
The mountain breeze was slow, in this evening, the mountains were slightly cool, Li Ling waved his hand, took out the Zijin Dan furnace, placed it in front, and with a wave of his hand, a flame rose up, and the Zijin Dan furnace was ignited.
"I hope that these ten catties of positive herbs can neutralize the negativity of this purple fairy lingzhi." Li Ling bet all his hopes on the positive herb.
The flames rose, illuminating the surroundings, and the sound of insects suddenly stopped, perhaps it was the flame of the Dan furnace that disturbed the surrounding immortal qi, so those insects also felt uncomfortable, so they all flew away.
Li Ling took out the Purple Immortal Lingzhi from his sleeve and threw the Purple Immortal Lingzhi into the Dan Furnace, just like last time, the Purple Immortal Lingzhi was able to devour the flames, and the flames in the Dan Furnace could not melt the Purple Immortal Lingzhi at all.
Li Ling took out ten catties of positive herbs from his sleeve and slowly threw them into the Dan Furnace, and suddenly, in the Dan Furnace, it was divided into two Yin and Yang flames, half of the purple flame and half of the red flame! The purple flame is the yin flame, and the red flame is the yang flame, but obviously, the purple flame is stronger than the red flame.
In the process of the continuous entry of positive herbs, the red flame is also gradually becoming stronger, but it is still far worse than the purple flame, and Li Ling is a little skeptical that these ten catties of positive herbs are enough.
With the increasing number of positive herbs, the Red Flame is also half as strong as the Purple Flame, and the medicinal power of the herb depends on the herb to dissolve. Therefore, the role of the positive herb is crucial.
Half of the Purple Elixir Furnace was surrounded by cold and icy gas, and half was scorching heat. The rocks on both sides were half frozen and half baked black.
There are not many positive herbs in Li Ling's hand, but the red flame is still a little short of half of the medicinal power, if it can't be replenished, it will be a waste of previous efforts, Li Ling secretly regretted that he didn't buy more positive herbs in the first place.
Watching the red flames in the Dan furnace gradually rise, Li Ling's eyes were full of worry. If this continues, the positive herbs will be unable to support it.
In an emergency, Li Ling put away the Zijin Dan furnace. He walked towards the city, and the two breaths in the Dan furnace suddenly filled Li Ling, half of Li Ling's body was purple at the moment, and half of his body was red. Return to the Imperial City. When everyone saw Li Ling's vision, they all got out of the way.
"Drugstore, drugstore." Li Ling urgently needs to find a pharmacy now, the positive herbs of the pharmacy he went to last time have long been swept away by himself, the entire imperial city is so big, but there are very few pharmacy, which makes Li Ling anxious.
"Hey...... Be careful, you broke my stall. Can you afford it? ”
Li Ling was almost on a rampage, and he didn't even have time to apologize. Rushed directly to the street, saw the open space and drilled in, and there were very few pharmacies around.
"This big brother, where is there a pharmacy here?" Li Ling grabbed the collar of a person, and the person was suddenly trembling for a while by the two yin and yang forces, and the cicadas kept chilling.
The man's whole body was in the realm of ice and fire, half cold and half hot, shaking his head again and again, foaming at the mouth, seeing that he was about to die, Li Ling immediately let go, knowing that now he belonged to the yin and yang body, and he couldn't touch anyone at all.
Li Ling used his spiritual sense to see that the positive medicinal materials in the Purple Immortal Pill Furnace were almost exhausted, and he was very anxious, so he decided to go out of the city to look for positive herbs in the wild, after all, the vast mountains are relatively rich in resources.
Coming to this vast mountain, Li Ling's eyes swept away, and in a valley, he found a thousand fire tongue grasses, which grew extremely luxuriantly, and in this big mountain, there seemed to be an unusual fiery power.
"Let's go down and have a look." Li Ling fell from a high altitude and came to the center of the fire tongue grass, Li Ling looked at the grass that was as long as his tongue, and was immediately happy, this fire tongue grass is not a positive herb?
But unfortunately, the positive power of this fire tongue grass is weak, and I am afraid it will be difficult to work, but no matter what, Li Ling still decided to try it.
Li Ling took out the Purple Immortal Pill Furnace, put it in the grass, and with a single move, those Fire Tongue Grass automatically left the soil and flew into Li Ling's palm, and then flew towards the Purple Immortal Pill Furnace one by one.
Although the positive strength of the fire tongue grass is very weak, but the amount is large, as the fire tongue grass gradually increases, the red flame in the furnace also gradually recovers, and it can start to fight against the purple flame again.
Red Flame's fire is one point shorter than Zi Yan, and the positive strength is one point weaker than Zi Yan, but in order to catch up with Zi Yan's power, Li Ling must also increase the intensity of putting fire tongue grass.
The flame gradually rose, and in the purple elixir furnace, the flame gradually rose, enveloping the entire furnace, half yin and half yang.
After a few more strokes, the red flame caught up with the strength of the purple flame, and the purple fairy Lingzhi also softened.
Li Ling watched the purple flame gradually dissipate, and understood that the negativity of the purple fairy lingzhi was beginning to be neutralized, so he was full of interest and increased the strength of the medicinal materials.
Subsequently, the medicinal materials gradually turned from negative to positive, and the purple fairy lingzhi was also vaporized point by minute.
Li Ling slowly dragged the two immortal qi and threw the immortal qi into the furnace, and the purple immortal lingzhi in the furnace was wrapped in the Dao qi flow and gradually condensed in the Dan vessel.
Seeing the purple fairy lingzhi melting down minute by minute, Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief, the rush just now was somewhat useful.
The purple fairy lingzhi was refined into a gas-like form, swimming in the Dan furnace Dan vessel, and the lingzi-like particles were gradually gathered in the Dan vessel.
Time is like a wild horse, a month spent in Li Ling's concentration on alchemy, when the pill is about to be completed, the surrounding vision is produced again, and the butterflies fluttering around are all around this purple pill furnace.
Butterflies fly, the fragrance of medicine overflows! After those butterflies smelled the medicinal fragrance, they actually had infinite power, and they were able to hold up the Dan furnace in mid-air!
Li Ling also floated into the air, just this medicinal fragrance has such an effect, it can be seen how powerful this elixir is.
"Buzz ......"
The sound of humming came out of the Dan furnace, which was an early warning when the pill was completed!
The fragrance of medicine wafted to the surrounding ten miles, and the animals around. Almost all of them came to crouch in front of this Dan furnace, the purpose was to smell the medicinal fragrance in the Dan furnace.
"What a purple elixir." Li Ling saw that in the flames of the Nadan furnace, a purple elixir emitted a ray of light. The glow of the sun is like a thin veil, overflowing from the inside out.
Li Ling stretched out one hand, and the purple immortal pill floated out of the Dan furnace and fell into Li Ling's palm. It can make the surroundings glow.
The Purple Immortal Pill is really extraordinary, such a powerful elixir, Li Ling is still reluctant to take it.
Put the purple elixir in your sleeve. Suddenly, there was an abnormal sound of thunder in the mountains and fields, and hundreds of miles away from here, there were black clouds and dense thunder and lightning.
Li Ling raised his eyes. Open your horizons. There's someone over there.
"It's a heavy immortal emperor who is crossing the tribulation." Li Ling was secretly surprised, the thunder flickered over there, and it was the same as when the Sword Saint crossed the tribulation last time.
Li Ling shook his hand, the Heavenly Power Sword suddenly became bigger, Li Ling stepped on the fairy sword, and flew towards the place of the catastrophe with a cloud of smoke.
The land of the catastrophe is a hundred miles away, and it will take an hour for Li Ling to fly.
An hour later. Li Ling flew into the outer ten miles of the robbery ground and looked at the group of people below. Xiaoxiao and Heixiao are also among them!
Li Lingfei fell, and when Hei Xiao saw Li Ling coming, he immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Ling, you are also here." ”
"En......" Li Ling nodded.
"Ling Ling, you didn't leave." Xiaoxiao frowned.
"No, I have some things recently, and as soon as the matter was done, I saw someone here who was robbed, and I guessed that it was the emperor." Li Ling looked at the place where the black clouds had accumulated, the mountains here were vast and the clouds were thick!
Rumble......
A few black thunders fell, Li Ling was surprised, why was the thunder that slashed at the emperor this time a black thunder, and the thunder that slashed at the Sword Saint last time was a purple thunder?
"Black Thunder is more powerful than Purple Thunder, which shows that the Emperor's own strength is above that of the Sword Saint." The voice of the black dragon sounded in Li Ling's mind.
"Could it be that the stronger the strength, the more severe the thunder punishment you will experience?" Li Ling said in surprise.
"It can be said that most scattered immortals will suppress their own strength, and when they wait for the tribulation, they will release all their strength, which can offset some of the thunder power." Black Dragon Road.
Bang......
Loud bang!
The entire mountain peak began to shake, and the black thunder poured down, like nine thunder and lightning, Li Ling was secretly surprised, this time Li Ling's eyesight could completely see the situation when the nine thunders fell.
It turns out that one thunder of the nine thunders is stronger than one thunder, and the second thunder is twice the power of the first thunder, so the ninth thunder is nine times the power of the first thunder.
The mountain peaks were directly blasted to pieces and razed to the ground!
The mountains and rocks splashed, and the crowd here all bounced off the fairy qi to bounce the gravel away.
In the crowd watching, the eldest prince Gu Jian was also there. However, this generation of Immortal Emperor Jun also has two sons.
Among the mountains and stones, a golden light rose to the sky, the immortal armor of the emperor's whole body was shattered, and the blood was dripping all over his body, that was the emperor who had experienced the heavy damage after the nine thunder punishments, but as long as he could survive, it was a successful crossing, the emperor did not say much, but split the void of a heavy sky, and left without saying a word.
Li Ling has seen two tribulations, both of which are undoubtedly successful, as far as Li Ling is concerned, as long as he has an immortal armor and knows how to suppress his strength, it seems that he can succeed in the tribulation.
"The tribulation of the first heaven is actually quite simple, but the more you go to the back, the more difficult it becomes, such as my seven-heaven tribulation and eight-fold heaven, Lao Tzu used so many magic weapons, and still didn't block the last thunder." The phantom of the black dragon appeared, and he crossed his arms and recalled the events of his previous tribulation.
"The emperor has ascended to the throne, brother, let's discuss who will inherit the emperor's throne." Gu Jian walked towards Heixiao and smiled softly at Heixiao.
"Naturally, it's time to have a good discussion." Hei Xiao said with a smile.
But everyone knows that the successor to the throne of the emperor is probably not so easy to decide, and the competition for the throne of the emperor has always been quite cruel, unless one party kills the other, the competition for the throne of the emperor does not pay attention to any brotherhood at all.
Although Gu Jian is kind on the surface, he has already dismantled the black sky in his heart, and the confrontation between the two brothers is inevitable, and it is dangerous to talk about feelings in a place like the fairy world.
"Before my father left, he specially told me to inherit the imperial city and be the emperor of the imperial city. How could I have failed my father's wishes, brother, I'm sorry. Discussing the matter of the emperor is probably about to become tentative. Gu Jian said with a smile.
Hei Xiao smiled faintly and said: "Father can't tentatively appoint an emperor, he has always spoken with strength, although you are my eldest brother, I will not show mercy to my subordinates, eldest brother, let's see you on the battlefield." ”
Hei Xiao led Xiaoxiao and everyone turned to leave.
The struggle for the throne of the emperor. It was the beginning of the strength confrontation between Hei Xiao and Gu Blade.
"I don't think I can help myself, I originally wanted to leave you a way to live, but it seems that now you don't cherish your own life." Gu Jian snorted coldly. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
Back in Heixiao's palace, Heixiao sat on the chair in the middle, and on both sides sat Heixiao's very powerful subordinates.
Judging from the seating order, the closer to the sky, the closer the person. The stronger the strength.
A middle-aged man in Tsing Yi sitting beside Hei Xiao arched his hand and said, "Lord Hei Xiao." Gu Jian is arrogant and domineering, I have endured him for a long time, and we will completely kill him this time to eliminate the hatred in our hearts. ”
"Gu Jian is my eldest brother after all, and killing him does require some psychological preparation." After all, Hei Xiao still cares a little about his brother's affection.
Hei Xiao looked at Li Ling, who was sitting at the end, and said, "Ling, you shouldn't be involved, you can leave tomorrow." ”
"You're in such a predicament right now. How can I go? I'll stay and help you. Li Ling responded.
Hei Xiao was slightly moved, but the cruelty of war. Hei Xiao still knew, so he shook his head and refused: "You better go, this matter has nothing to do with you, I'm afraid that I will implicate you, once something happens, when the time comes, I will feel guilty." ”
"What will happen? I put on the immortal armor, can anyone still hurt me? Li Ling said.
"Immortal armor?" The people sitting around the black sky all looked at Li Ling.
Li Ling has the matter of immortal armor, and a few people who have returned from the Great Wilderness know about it.
Moreover, those people seem to be Heixiao's cronies, but most of the people sitting here are those in power in the imperial city, equivalent to generals.
Hei Xiao mastered one-third of the Imperial City's troops, but Gu Jian mastered two-thirds of the Imperial City's troops, and in terms of troops, Hei Xiao was not as good as Gu Jian.
Hei Xiao didn't have the certainty of victory, so he didn't want to implicate Li Ling.
"Lord Heixiao, he has immortal armor, if there is a person with immortal armor to help us, our chances of winning will be much improved." A soldier said enthusiastically.
"You sit down, Ling, it's not from our Imperial City, he has no obligation to help us fight against Gu Blade." Hei Xiao said.
Li Ling admires Heixiao's personality very much, and Li Ling is also willing to help such a person, such a person is worthy of trust.
"Heixiao, didn't you say that there is a way to improve my strength as much as possible? In that case, if you haven't fulfilled your promise, then I won't leave the Imperial City. Li Ling talked about the reason why he was going to stay.
"I'm afraid I don't have the ability to help you fulfill my promise now, hey, just take my joke." Hei Xiao said helplessly.
"A gentleman's words are difficult to chase, not to mention that you are a prince, so you must pay more attention to verbal promises, your words will cause a lot of commotion, so your promises must be fulfilled." Li Ling said.
Hei Xiao was slightly stunned, knowing that Li Ling's words were not to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, but to become Fa and wanted to stay.
Ling ...... You ......" Hei Xiao was speechless.
"I won't leave until you keep your promise. Everyone, Ling will take his leave first, tired and want to rest. Li Ling yawned, then turned around and went back to get ready for a good night's sleep, in order to refine the Purple Immortal Pill, Li Ling could be said to have not closed his eyes for a month.
Although there is no need to sleep for scattered immortals, Li Ling has lost a lot of immortal qi this month, and sleeping can make up for the lost immortal qi.
"Lord Heixiao, how could you have promised such a thing in the first place?" A middle-aged soldier asked suspiciously.
Hei Xiao just sighed slightly, he didn't think about it so much at that time, he just wanted Li Ling to come to the Imperial City as a guest, where would he think of today's catastrophe.
Back in the room, Li Ling lay on his back on the bed, pillowing his arms, looking at the ceiling above his head, he fell asleep unconsciously, and the feeling of fatigue made Li Ling fall asleep quickly.
When Li Ling woke up, he found that there was a little itch in his nose, Li Ling sneezed together, rubbed his nose, Li Ling opened his sleepy eyes, and looked at Xiaoxiao who was stealing fun.
"Xiaoxiao...... You're so naughty. It's okay to dare to tease me. Li Ling rubbed his nose and said.
"Hey, I just want to wake up, you're sleeping like a dead pig. If you sleep in the wild like you, you will probably be stabbed to death thousands of times. Xiaoxiao sighed slightly.
"Come on, in the wild, I won't sleep? It was because I knew that I was safe in this mansion that I was able to sleep peacefully. Li Ling stretched his waist and got off the bed with his shoes on.
Li Ling sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.
"Ling Ling. You're so stupid that you still want the Fa to stay, you have to know. Our young master simply has so much strength to win this battle, and the young master estimates that it will be difficult to protect himself. Xiaoxiao said a little discouraged.
"Oh, is it? The more times like this, the less I was able to walk. I see you as friends. Then I will do my best to help you, don't worry, Heixiao will not lose. Li Ling said with a smile.
"Hey, I hope that as you said, the young master will not lose." Xiaoxiao was encouraged by Li Ling like this, and she could be regarded as having a little self-confidence.
"How long did I sleep?" Li Ling asked.
"Two days." Xiaoxiao stretched out two fingers.
"Has the war begun?" Li Ling asked.
"Not yet, at present, Gu Blade's side is still very quiet, and he hasn't made any attacks on us." Xiaoxiao held her chin and said thoughtfully.
"It seems that Gu Jian is not a reckless man." Li Ling said.
"Gu Jian is not a reckless man. And he is quite strategic, otherwise two-thirds of the forces of the Imperial City would not be under his control. Xiaoxiao said.
Two-thirds of the strength of a city is under the rule of one. Then this person is not simple.
"It seems that two days have passed, and Gu Jian has not launched an attack, he may be plotting something." Li Ling said.
"It may be that the army is being prepared, in the battles of the imperial city in the past dynasties, there were a large number of immortal soldiers who died, the scene was tragic and shocking, generally at this time, the imperial city will be empty, and everyone fled separately." Xiaoxiao said.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Is Ling there?" It's the voice of the sky.
"I'm here." Li Ling replied.
With a squeak, Hei Xiao came in with a sad face.
"In the past two days, half of the soldiers on my side have defected to Gu Jian." Hei Xiao couldn't spread his brows at all, and situations like this kind of rebellion often occur in war.
"Will they all go to the stronger side because they don't see the hope of victory?" Li Ling asked.
"Mostly." Black Sky Road.
Li Ling secretly shook his head and said: "Heixiao, you really lack some experience in military affairs, as a leader, you must unite people's hearts, but you have shaken the morale of the army, the most important thing is that you are not decisive enough." ”
"How?" Hei Xiao sighed slightly, as if he was tired.
"Just like when I said I want to stay and help you, you should agree quickly, and you shouldn't get involved in any feelings, on the battlefield, the most taboo is to be emotional, people who use feelings often lose very badly, those soldiers may just see your weakness, so they betrayed you, and went to take refuge in Gu Blade." Li Ling said.
"If you say that, am I being selfish and cold-blooded?" Hei Xiao frowned.
"No, cold-blooded people can't make people surrender to you, all you have to do is to grasp a condition that is favorable to you, and you have to work hard in terms of the right time, place and people." Li Ling said.
"What should I do?" Hei Xiao sighed.
"The entire army needs people to govern it, and those generals are not your cronies, take back the military power of all the generals and replace them with your cronies." Li Ling said.
"That's not good. None of my cronies are very strong, and they can't get those immortal soldiers to obey their orders. Hei Xiao said.
"Then install them to join the army, plant them next to the general, if there is wind in the grass, report it immediately, and if there is a betrayer, immediately capture them and deal with them by military law." In this immortal world, few people will pay attention to this kind of military strategy, and everyone is fighting for numbers and strength.
"Seems a bit of a hassle." Black Sky Road.
"The control of the army itself is very troublesome, and they are all holding each other back and watching over each other, and if those soldiers are allowed to monopolize power, they can do whatever they want? I can help you today, I can betray you tomorrow, and when the time comes, the army's heart will be shaken badly, and you will be isolated. "Li Ling is by no means alarmist.
Hei Xiao listened to the cold sweat on his back, listening to Li Ling's analysis, the shape was very unfavorable to Hei Xiao.
"Immediate centralization of power is your main task at the moment, and it is also quite beneficial for you to take back the military power." Li Ling said.
"But the generals won't give me the power of their troops." Hei Xiao sighed slightly. (To be continued......)
