At that time, Shi Xin cultivated the Xuanwu Mental Method obtained from the Ten Thousand Year Turtle, but he suffered a lot.

The first step requires the blood of a 10,000-year-old turtle, and the second step requires soaking in the heavenly pool in the winter, undergoing the double tempering of ice and lava, and can only be practiced after nine deaths.

The sourness of the two days of ice and fire is simply unbearable.

However, it was also worth it this time, because the Yellow Emperor found the gods of geoheat and cold to inject divine power into him, and learned two powerful talents.

Now, Shi Xin wants to learn a higher level of Xuanwu Mental Method, how can he be excited?

Fortunately, he had a foundation before, and this time he really only needed to meditate and exercise his luck to learn the new Xuanwu Mental Method.

Two days later, Shi Xin completed his cultivation, his basic attribute defense increased by 30 points, and his "Xuanwu True Qi" talent was replaced by "God-given Xuanwu True Qi".

Ordinary talent "God-Given Xuanwu True Qi": The final version of the Xuanwu Mental Method, which was completed by Emperor Fuxi and the Holy Beast Xuanwu himself, is better than the Xuanwu Mental Technique left in the world. The upgraded Xuanwu True Qi does not need to be actively activated, and will be automatically generated once it enters the combat state. Increases defense by 50%, and can unconditionally resist all attacks that are equal to or lower than your own cultivation.

Previously, Xuanwu True Qi needed to be actively triggered, but now it has become passive. In a battle at the level of the tenth rank, the battle situation changes rapidly. With the increase of combat skills and the ability to deal with different emergency situations, the defensive skills have changed from active to passive, which has undoubtedly improved the survival situation a lot.

In the past, it could resist all attacks below the ninth level, but after upgrading, it was directly upgraded by a large level, and it could block all attacks that were three times lower than yourself.

With his current tenth-level four-fold cultivation, he can block attacks of the tenth-rank one-heavy and below indiscriminately.

Ten rank, which was rare in the entire Han Dynasty.

Maybe the appearance of Shi Xin, Sima Yi, and Cao Cao has accelerated the cultivation speed of the pulse masters under their command, but those are the only ones who can rise to the tenth rank.

After Shi Xin's cultivation is raised to a higher level, let alone ten or ten heavy, even if it is ten or seven or eight, there are few people who can cause him harm.

This is the rhythm of walking sideways on the low-level battlefield!

Even if it is an opponent of the same level, there is fifty percent of the defense to carry, you must know that it has only increased by thirty percent before.

But now is not the time to relax, and the final trial of Xuanwu is on the agenda.

The newly cultivated Xuanwu True Qi had no room to exert itself in this trial, and they continued to attack the fortifications in the same way as before.

Before this, Shi Xin went to the top of Lishan Mountain, in addition to fighting monsters and upgrading, the outside situation also needs to be understood.

What made Shi Xin deeply worried was that Sima Jun had a new move after opening up the second blood array in Chengdu.

Probably because of the disappearance of Shi Xin and the other six, it added to their speculation, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Yu Ji recruited troops on a large scale in his sphere of influence.

Then it will be put into use right away.

Not only conscription, but also the frequent transfer of generals.

In line with Shi Xin's thoughts, their soldiers and horses were also arranged in similar positions.

First of all, Chang'an's living army began to move in the direction of Luoyang, and it was believed that Luoyang would be reached within a few days. Xun Yu came with little news that Yu Ji was also on his way to Luoyang, and he was accompanied by a mysterious man with a hat in his head.

He is tall and thin, and seems to be old.

Judging by his behavior, he should be a corpse. In addition to the smell of blood, there is also an aura of a strong man, even stronger than Yu Ji.

Only Shi Xin knew the identity of this person, Zhang Daoling.

There were also a large number of acquaintances accompanying him, such as Li Ru, Guo Tu, Deng Ai, Gan Ning, Wen Yang, Wei Yan, Zhang Lu and so on.

Zhong Hui and the newly joined Xun Yu and Xun Yu stayed in Chang'an.

Of course, Dong Zhuo and other five corpses are indispensable.

At the key pass between Bingzhou and Jizhou, the top general of Huguan was the former Western Liang Army headed by Han Sui.

Huguan terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, behind the pass is the endless Taihang Mountains, can make countless tactical deployments. Even if the pass is breached, it is difficult to travel in the mountains.

Sima Jun occupies the pass and is foolproof.

Cao Pi and other generals of Cao Ying did not stay in Chengdu according to the original plan, but were sent to Hanzhong.

I don't know if I don't believe them, in short, the letter from Yang Xiu said that Cao Pi was helpless every day, and sighed for a long time. It is often said that if there was no Chengdu, it would be better to stay in Xiangyang at that time, and you could survive with the real dragon shield.

It's good now, I am sandwiched between Shangyong, Chengdu, and Chang'an, and I can't go anywhere, and I'm so aggrieved that I want to die.

What made Cao Pi even more frustrated was that all the staff had cultivated the Taiping Mind Method, and once something happened, Yu Ji could use the Taiping Mind Method to control them.

Compared with Cao Pi, who is frightened every day, Sun Quan and Liu Chan's mood is not much better.

Sun Quan was the governor of Yizhou, and Liu Chan was the Taishou of Chengdu, and both stayed in Chengdu. The reason why they were in a bad mood was not because of the existence of the other party, but because their former subordinates Lu Xun and Pang Tong had the power of the army.

They are all big officials in name, but in fact, they have to act on the breath of others.

Sun Quan and Liu Chan obviously felt that Lu Xun and Pang Tong were getting busier and busier, and that their eyebrows were gradually estranged.

Even the generals they brought with them have become ambiguous, from unilateral allegiance to two-sided currying favor, and neither side can be offended.

Sun and Liu are both former lords, and it is difficult for them to accept this fact that they hold at least two states in their hands.

However, Lu Pang and the two didn't care so much, after being loyal to Sima Yi for a long time, they admired his concept of governing the army and the country so much that they were on the ground, and they were many levels higher than the original lord, which was not the same.

In this case, it is inevitable that there will be a trace of loyalty, and Sima Yi is the master in his mind.

As for the original lord, the affection is naturally getting weaker and weaker.

This is human nature, and it is no wonder that the two of them are not alone.

It's just that Sun Quan and Liu Chan are unacceptable.

These things, whether it is Sun Liu or Lu Pang, even the previous generals such as Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Ding Feng, Yi Yuan, Sun Qian, Huo Jun, and the original Yizhou generals Zhang Song, Yan Pu, Huang Quan, Liu Ba and others also know clearly.

The situation in Chengdu is changing, and the generals have their own ghosts.

In times of peace, this is going to be a big thing.

But now that the smoke is coming, it has given everyone the opportunity to unanimously open their guns.

At least Pang Tong and Lu Xun have the same interests and are loyal to Sima Yi, and the combination of these two military talents is believed to increase the difficulty of the next battle.

The two divided the army of Yizhou into three parts, the first two of which accounted for a large proportion, mainly to guard against the invasion of Shi Xin's army from Jiangling.

The last small part was led by Lü Meng and stationed in Hanzhong, where he assisted in the defense of Hanzhong with Cao Pi and others.

This is a good move, and the strategic location of Hanzhong is very important. Jin can invade Shangyong and go straight to Xiangyang, Xinye and other places along the Han River, and retreat can contain a part of Shi Xin's troops, so that he can not concentrate on attacking Chengdu.

Lü Meng's military prowess was undoubted, but this further aroused Cao Pi's disgust.

Why should this person order us? Speaking of talents, my Guo Fengxiao and Cheng Zhongde are talented and rich in five cars, even if Zhang Wenyuan and other four good generals are not better than him?

is clearly engaged in a power struggle, and wants to be like Chengdu, so that the generals under my command will vote for them or Sima Yi.

The more Cao Pi thought about it, the more likely it became, and discussed it with his most trusted confidant Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu smiled first, and asked Cao Pi to temporarily reconcile with the forces of Lu Meng and even Chengdu.

Take a long-term view, and aim for Chang'an or Chengdu.

Yang Xiu then analyzed: Yu Ji's series of actions are obviously to fight Shi Xin. At that time, the whole country will be soldiers, Chengdu and Chang'an, the two places with the protection of the real dragon, will suddenly become empty, Cao Pi can choose the best time, quickly seize the military power of Lu Meng, choose Chengdu or Chang'an, and take it in one fell swoop.

Yang Xiu's suggestion is Chengdu. Because Chang'an belongs to the scope of Yongzhou, the terrain is flat and flat, although there is a real dragon shield, but it is easy to appear in Xiangyang, and it is dangerous to be surrounded by people.

Chengdu is much easier to defend than Chang'an.

And with the resources of the country of abundance as a supplement, as long as you work hard for a few years, you will have the capital to compete in the Central Plains, and then you will make a comeback, and then fight with Yu Ji and Shi Xin, who are fighting to the death.

Yang Xiu's blueprint is depicted very well, and Cao Pi's head is full of beautiful pictures of sitting in Chengdu in the future.

As a result, Cao Pi called Lu Meng a brother every day, doing his best to be close, and his relationship with Lu Meng was growing day by day.

Lu Meng is a little cautious, but how can he be so shrewd as Cao Pi, who has been good at competing for the throne since he was a child, and soon fell, and for a while treated Cao Pi as a good friend.

The strange thing is that Sima Yi still did not appear, and Yu Ji, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally stepped onto the stage.

This news made Shi Xin deeply uneasy, and he checked it with Tianyantong, almost scolding.

Sima Yi has risen to the tenth-rank seventh-fold, three times higher than himself, and directly catches up with Zhang Daoling, who is the tenth-rank eighth-fold.

Only then did Shi Xin know that Sima Yi was not out of the horse, but like the six of himself, he was cultivating at a high speed.

Thinking of the fight on the outskirts of Chang'an a few years ago, Shi Xin's heart sank suddenly.

The cultivation is lower than him, and there is a Taiping mind to balance, if you meet, you will only be abused.

The only thing I can rely on now is to overpower him in terms of cultivation, and try to make everyone's cultivation go up, and if you are not good, you can also surround and kill Sima Yi through group beatings.

Shi Xin didn't know the real reason why Sima Yi was hiding and escalating, but he said that in order to maintain the veil of mystery, he was caught off guard when he hit him.

He couldn't figure out why Yu Ji brazenly launched this war because he didn't know whether Sima Yi could escape the catastrophe. He wanted to take down the entire Han Dynasty during his disciple's lifetime and give it to his disciple as a gift.

Out of absolute trust in Jia Xu, Shi Xin did not give too much military guidance. Only left a letter saying that he would return to the territory in half a month. During this time, everything is in accordance with the previous deployment against the enemy, and it is best to delay until they return, especially not to rush in.

At the end of the letter, Shi Xin made a special emphasis on letting Lu Bu come forward to see if he could invite those masters on Simei Mountain to come out of the mountain, and only they could suppress Yu Ji and Zhang Daoling.
