Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Miracle of Achievement

Meng Shu was arrested by Zhuge Liang seven times, and finally understood that his martial arts and strategy were a joke in front of Zhuge Liang. What's more, now the large and small forces of the Nanban have been lured out by Meng Shu, and they have all been beaten by Zhuge Liang. But whenever Meng Shu showed his unwillingness, there would naturally be a large number of people vying to cut off his head and offer it to Zhuge Liang to show his loyalty.

Meng Shu was naturally not stupid, and immediately said that he was sincerely touched by Zhuge Liang, and led his wife, brothers and others to kneel in front of Zhuge Liang's tent, swearing that his children and grandchildren would thank the prime minister for his virtue and never return.

Zhuge Liang saw that Meng Huo finally knew how to lift and softened, so he ordered Meng Huo to remain the master of the Nanban Cave. Meng Huozong's party and all the barbarian soldiers were all impressed, and they all jumped away happily.

Changshi Fei Yi was still not very at ease with Meng Huo, so he advised Zhuge Liang and proposed to leave some officials to monitor Meng Huo. This is clearly a bad idea. Zhuge Liang immediately refused, explaining: "There are three problems in doing this, the first point is to keep the officials, you have to keep the soldiers, where does the food and grass for the soldiers come from?" It is easy to cause trouble in the collection area, and it is very troublesome and wasteful to deploy from the rear. The second point is that if you don't keep soldiers, it will still be useless if something goes wrong in Nanban, so it's better not to stay. The third point is not to leave outsiders, to show trust in the Nanban, the Nanban people are grateful, but will not have different hearts. If we don't keep people or transport grain, we can get along with the Nanban people without incident. And they were all convinced.

Since then, the Southern Barbarians have been grateful for Zhuge Liang's kindness, set up a shrine for Zhuge Liang, and enjoyed sacrifices at four o'clock, all calling him a loving father. They also sent pearl gold treasures, lacquer medicinal materials, and ploughing cattle and war horses to fund the military, and vowed not to rebel again. Since then, Nanban has never had any trouble.

During the entire period of the Southern Barbarian counterinsurgency, Zhuge Liang consciously trained each general separately, and each general was assigned heavy tasks and won military exploits. Although Zhao Guang is called a striker, he is actually not in the front many times. He also understands this, and honestly acts as Zhuge Liang's tool. Let it shoot when it is made, and honestly hit soy sauce without an order, and the order is forbidden, which makes Zhuge Liang like it very much.

Singing triumphant songs, the squad returned to the court, and the troops mobilized left one after another. Jingzhou's 1,000 cavalry were also preparing to leave under the leadership of Adjutant General Zhao Guang, and they were accompanied by 500 rattan armor soldiers. This is what Zhao Guang specially asked Meng Shu to come. Zhao Guang felt that the rattan armor was light and sturdy and could float on water, although there was a weakness of fear of fire, but it was not unavoidable. He specially applied to Zhuge Liang and asked for five hundred rattan armor soldiers, and went back to test it.

In the end, only 50,000 Imperial Forest Army remained, as well as the meritorious generals who were going to Chengdu to participate in the celebration of the great victory. Among them, the Southern Barbarian Envoy Delegation, represented by Meng Huo, specially came to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Shu Han to show his sincerity.

Zhao Guang slowly arrived in Chengdu with the army, participated in the lengthy ceremony, and knelt down with the generals to accept the reward. There is no difficulty in pacifying Nanban this time, Zhao Guang is only a little promoted, and he has not even been promoted in level, but his title has been upgraded a little, and he has changed from General Long Xiang to General Dangkou, which is the highest level of miscellaneous generals.

After the seal was completed, Liu Bei feasted the ministers. This kind of ceremonial feast is not to let you eat, but to show closeness to the courtiers. Zhao Guang was the most impatient with these things, and followed the rules of others step by step, but fortunately, Zhuge Liang implemented simple governance, and Liu Bei also led by example, and the scale and time of the banquet were compressed. So it was all over in just one day. If this was back then, let Liu Bei go, it would take at least three or five days or even ten days. In that year, Liu Bei Hanzhong defeated Cao Cao, feasted the ministers, and tossed for more than half a month.

After the incident, Zhao Guang Yili visited various relatives and high-ranking officials in Chengdu, and returned to Jiangling in Jingzhou three days later.

After returning to Jiangling, report to Zhao Yun and deal with the accumulated affairs in the army, and then there is nothing to do.

Zhao Guang knew that in the next few years, Shu Han would recuperate, and then he should be able to go north out of Qishan. Then it's time to show off your skills. And in the past few years, the most important thing for me is to raise my cultivation of the Northern Spiritual Skill to become a solid foundation for my combat strength.

In the following days, Zhao Guang spent more time and energy on the cultivation of the Northern Spiritual Skill. Zhao Guang used orthodox cultivation methods, and did not absorb the internal strength of others, and the true qi of the Northern Darkness relied on his daily accumulation.

This cultivation method was originally very slow, but Zhao Guang himself had a very good foundation, and he had the blessing of the dark world's physique and spiritual attributes, and he also cultivated the Taoist Tuna Technique and the Twenty-Four Tricks of the Golden Guan Jade Lock at the same time. The multi-pronged approach has increased the cultivation speed of the Northern Spiritual Skill by dozens of times.

Zhao Guang, as a general of the Shu Han Dynasty, has a high position and power, and the channels for obtaining heavenly and earthly treasures are far better than those of the Huashan faction in his previous life. This expedition to the Nanban, I was surprised to find that there are hundreds of years and thousands of years of precious medicinal materials everywhere, what millennium Ganoderma lucidum, millennium immortal grass, 10,000-year-old yellow essence, 10,000-year-old He Shou Wu, basin-sized Tai Sui, all kinds of rare and exotic beasts on the materials...... It's all at your fingertips!

The locals didn't understand it at all, and they didn't cherish it, so Zhao Guang spent a little money to buy a few truckloads of precious medicinal materials from the locals, and pulled them all back. For this reason, he was also reported, Zhuge Liang personally interrogated, for fear that Zhao Guang would be corrupt and take bribes, and when he checked it, he found that they were all worthless medicinal materials, so he let him go. This matter spread, and everyone knew that Zhao Guang had a special fetish, did not like gold and silver jewelry, and liked all kinds of medicinal materials. So I'll give him some if it's okay. In this way, Zhao Guang had more things, and finally saved up a boatload and let his own soldiers pull it back.

After returning to Jingzhou, Zhao Guang was reprimanded by Zhao Yun for this, which was still for the sake of medicinal materials and not gold and silver jewelry. Zhao Guang hurriedly said that he had obtained some prescriptions for bruising and repairing his body, so he specially collected some medicinal materials. If it is successful, it is a good thing that bruise medicine is used in the army and nourished and maintained in the imperial court.

Zhao Yun can't do anything about his son, every time he criticizes him, he has a lot of truths, and he is upright for the country and the people, but he is still speechless.

Since Zhao Yun had nothing to say, Zhao Guang simply made a big fuss, looked for a few famous folk pharmacists to make medicines, and sent the military lieutenant Langzhong to assist and build a special pharmacy.

The pharmacy pharmacist started by practicing those worthless medicines, and soon the finished product was produced. Zhao Guang tried it, and it was similar to the Yunnan Baiyao of later generations, so he simply gave it a name called Nanban Baiyao.

Zhao Guang immediately presented Nanban Baiyao to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was quite surprised, he didn't expect the results to come out so quickly. After trying it, it was really effective, and after being overjoyed, Zhao Guang's pharmacy was given more convenience. Zhao Guanglian sent the medicine to Chengdu with the medicine and presented it to the imperial court. What happened later was nothing more than receiving the holy decree and getting some rewards. However, this matter was affirmed by the imperial court, and it was more convenient for Zhao Guang to do things, and he could even directly purchase medicinal materials from Nanban Meng Shu.

Pharmacies that have released their shackles require people, money, and raw materials, and the speed of developing new drugs has been greatly accelerated. What Qi Replenishing Pills, Liuhe Pills, and Rehmannia Pills have all come out, nourishing yin and yang, strengthening qi and replenishing essence, and the effect is remarkable. Shu Han praised it in unison.

The business situation of pharmacies is very good, and the level of pharmacists is naturally getting higher and higher. In the end, the Jin Yuandan and Dragon Tiger Dan that Zhao Guang needed were also successfully practiced. These two pills can greatly replenish the true qi and shorten the cultivation time, but the effect of the medicine is too violent.

Zhao Guang diluted these two pills tenfold and sent them to Zhao Yun for testing. Zhao Yun tried it and found that it could greatly increase the speed of cultivating Gang Qi, but it was a little too violent. Zhao Guang received feedback, diluted these two pills fifty times, and presented them to the imperial court, which was used to reward the generals who cultivated Gang Qi. As for Zhao Guang himself, he must have taken the original version.

With the assistance of the elixir, the cultivation of the Northern Spiritual Skill has increased to an unprecedented speed. Zhao Guangsheng was afraid that his foundation was not solid, so he cultivated his sea of qi to the point of being vast and boundless. True Qi has accumulated to the extreme.

The extremes of things must be reversed, and such a vast and thick true qi vortex suddenly accelerated and rotated one day. Zhao Guang's heart was sensitive, and he knew that the moment for him to break through the realm had come. He immediately entered the secret room, sat cross-legged, and devoted all his mind to the sea of qi, but he did not suppress the rotation speed of the true qi vortex, but just meditated and contemplated, allowing it to evolve freely.

The True Qi Vortex continued to spin faster, and finally developed to the extreme. With a loud "boom", the entire True Qi Vortex exploded, and all True Qi flowed out backwards, instilling into the Twelve True Meridians, the Eight Strange Meridians, and even the subtle veins that could not be reached in ordinary times. The sea of qi instantly became empty.

Zhao Guang knows that now is the most critical moment to break out of the cocoon into a butterfly, meditate and self-control, the mind is in a conscious and unintentional way, the unity of heaven and man, conform to nature, and let everything happen freely.

In Zhao Guang's consciousness, all this seems to have passed for centuries, but it seems to have happened in an instant, suddenly the whole body "boomed" to the ground, and the eight veins of the Qi Jing were instantly opened at the same time, and once the second vein of Ren Du was unblocked, the true qi of the whole body was suddenly put into the Great Zhou Tian cycle.

Almost at the moment when Zhao Guang broke through, the whole room was shaken, the windows of the room were almost shattered in response, the wind was blowing, and the momentum of the exercise operation was as terrifying as the waves were surging.

On the way to the Great Zhou Tian, the biggest taboo is that there are distractions, Zhao Guang ignores the external vision, and only cares about keeping the mind and mind one, and runs the exercises. After the meridians of the whole body were opened together, wisps of spiritual energy also poured into the meridians of the body like a breeze and drizzle, and the speed became faster and faster. Even Zhao Guang, who had the twenty-four tricks of the Golden Guan Jade Lock, was a little flustered by "choking" for a while, and went all out to guide it with his spiritual power, so that these lively heaven and earth spiritual qi were sent into the second vein of Rendu according to their respective meridian paths, and finally merged into the slowly rotating Northern Hell's True Qi vortex that was regenerated.

Now the Great Spiritual Power of the North Shengong is like a slowly rotating Milky Way, the vast soup is endless, and it is like a magnificent sea, with turbulent waves, and the calm contains an indestructible huge power.

Zhao Guang slowly retracted his skills, he didn't expect that he would be able to directly absorb the aura of heaven and earth after the completion of the Northern Spiritual Skill, which was beyond the scope of martial arts.

It's no wonder that the Northern Underworld is a success, and the true spirit is strong, and no one in the world can stop it. The bridge between heaven and earth is naturally opened, and it is endless, how can the true qi not be strong? At the same time, because the sea of air is as all-encompassing as the ocean, it is all-encompassing. Dacheng's Northern Darkness True Qi is naturally compatible with the world's martial arts, it is highly poisonous, and it has great power when you attack it casually. True Qi Protector's defense is greatly increased, and it shocks enemies when attacked.
