Chapter 448: A Guest Visits
After the high-level meeting of the Wudang faction, Wudang City began to develop in an orderly manner according to the plan agreed by everyone. In accordance with the supreme instruction of "there are not many soldiers in the elite" on the shore of Zhanghu, the two ministries have only recruited about 6,000 troops, and these troops can be said to be the elite of Wudang Island, all of whom have survived the robbery. The strength of about 5,000 is from the five armies in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, each army is divided into 1,000, and there are 1,000 from the Ministry of Security, most of these 1,000 people were arranged by Zhihu to be the police to maintain law and order in Wudang City, and some special elves were selected by Zhihu to the intelligence department. The original elite subordinates of the Wudang faction, except for a small part assigned to the five armies of the east, west, south, north and middle, were basically incorporated into the Praetorian Guard, with about 2,000 people. Overall, Wudang City now has less than 10,000 troops plus the disciples of the Wudang faction, which is a lot worse than the strength of the previous palace, of course, the strength is stronger than all the previous four palaces combined, I don't know how many times stronger!
The reason why only 6,000 people were recruited out of nearly 4 million people was not just because there were not many soldiers, but because it was just a helpless choice for Zhang Huban. Of course, Zhang Huban also wants to be able to pull up a million troops immediately, and it is best to beat the Qinglong Kingdom down, so that he does not have to rely on the Qinglong Kingdom to breathe and panting. However, the foundation of Wudang Island is too thin after all, it is not the first to the last in the Qinglong Country, but it is also the second-to-last in the Qinglong Kingdom, although those spiritual grass immortal medicines are good things to get to the Earth Cultivation Realm, but they are nothing at all in the Qinglong Kingdom, in terms of mineral deposits, if it were not for the flying squirrel Xiangtian accidentally discovered a fairy stone mine, it would not be able to compare with other islands at all. Otherwise, with the strength of the original four palaces of Wudang Island, a large number of outsiders would have already gone to Wudang Island to search for treasures, or secretly sent forces to lurk in, after all, the worst island near Wudang Island, the owner of Dailiang Island, Danyang Immortals, is already close to the level of Heavenly Immortals, far from being comparable to the Seven Tribulation Immortals, it is really because the former Canglang Island is too oily and waterless, and people are not interested at all. Although the alchemy and alchemy of the Wudang faction may be second to none in the entire Qinglong Kingdom, after all, it is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, and the Wudang disciples and even Zhang Huban are not magical enough to use a thousand-year-old ginseng to refine a pill of catastrophe, and use a piece of dark iron to refine an immortal weapon. Limited resources can only be used on a limited number of people, so Zhang Huban only recruited so many elites and used the truly powerful natural treasures on them.
In addition to the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Security, other departments also began a series of actions. The Ministry of Commerce began to operate under the leadership of Blair, and the fairy market in Xicheng began to have a bit of a noisy atmosphere under Blair's careful planning. People come and go, and there is a lot of traffic. In addition to the fact that there are no records and gambling halls, almost all of the people in the world have them here. The people of Wudang Island exchanged their treasures, the genius earth treasures that could not play a role at all in their hands, for Wudang coins to buy entertainment, pills, and magic weapons. Some treasure hunting experts, such as the rat demon and the eagle demon, are full of enthusiasm to go to Wudang Island to hunt for treasure, and then exchange them for Wudang coins. The Ministry of Resources used these genius treasures for alchemy and refining, and also planted the most precious spiritual herbs and elixirs in the Linglang Garden in Dongcheng......
The flying squirrel Xiangtian and the Red Blood Python King took a group of Wudang disciples to start the mining of the fairy stone mine, and the mining results of the fairy stone mine made Zhang Huban smile, and he lost his demeanor for a long time, and during that time, Zhang Huban felt very pleasing to the eye when he saw everything. Because although the immortal stone mine did not appear a large number of middle-grade and high-grade immortal stones that Zhang Huban wanted, most of them were only low-grade immortal stones, only nearly 10,000 middle-grade immortal stones, and there were no high-grade immortal stones, but there were two lower-grade spirit stones unexpectedly.
Although there are only two lower-grade spirit stones, the terrifying exchange ratio of the lower-grade spirit stones and the lower-grade immortal stones is 10 million, making these two lower-grade spirit stones almost equivalent to the entire value of this immortal stone mine. Of course, in Zhang Huban's eyes, the value of these two low-grade spirit stones must not be measured only by how many immortal stones they are worth, because the spirit stone is a treasure that even the golden immortal wants to be tempted by, it contains purple immortal qi, purple immortal qi is not comparable to ordinary immortal qi, it is the pure immortal qi closest to the innate qi, absorbing a little purple immortal qi, and the effect is many times better than absorbing a large amount of ordinary immortal qi.
Due to the absorption of the knowledge of the ancient bulls, Zhang Hupan has actually comprehended the Heavenly Dao far beyond his current realm, as long as he has enough mana, it is very possible to even directly advance to the Golden Immortal. But the accumulation of mana can not be completed in a moment, even if Zhang Huban has a powerful cultivation method, no matter how rich the aura is, but still needs a cultivation time to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and if you want to eat it to become fat, unless you eat the elixir. It's a pity that at the level of Zhanghuban, Wudang Island no longer has any elixir suitable for him to tonic. The essence of the ancient witch sect cow contained in the body is a huge treasure, but unfortunately it is no longer a physical method that can be stimulated, Zhang Huban is estimated to need a test of life and death, or an inexplicable epiphany can inspire some. The test of life and death can be made, as long as Zhang Huban dares to go directly to Qinglong Island to spread wild, no, he only needs to run to the nearby islands to spread wild, and it is estimated that he can taste it, but Zhang Huban does not seem to be in a hurry to make fun of his life, as for epiphany, this is an unavoidable thing, even if he wants to, it is in vain. Therefore, since Zhang Huban barely survived eight immortal tribulations, and after his doppelganger survived seven immortal tribulations, the strength of his physical body finally couldn't make up for the lack of mana, and he couldn't let him go to the tribulation again. The Nine Immortal Tribulations seemed a little distant to Zhang Huban, and without hundreds of years, Zhang Huban felt a little suspenseful.
It would take hundreds of years to achieve the position of a celestial immortal, which is an incredible thing for any immortal, but Zhang Huban is still a bit slow. Because only by achieving the immortal position can Zhang Huban have the strength to go to the outside immortal world to find Zhang Sanfeng, and Zhang Huban is not a person who is willing to succumb to any force, but with his current strength, only by paying tribute to the three kings of the Qinglong Kingdom every hundred years like the previous four palace masters can Wudang Island and Wudang City be spared. Although Zhang Huban is unruly, he is not an arrogant maniac, on the contrary, he is a very cautious person, because he shoulders the heavy responsibility of the entire Wudang Island, the Wudang faction to live and die, careless, not careful!
The appearance of the spirit stone, I am afraid that just the inferior spirit stone also brought infinite hope to Zhang Huban, so after Zhang Huban was excited for a while, he immediately began a long retreat.
Time flies, and fifty years have passed in a blink of an eye.
Originally, it took hundreds of years to achieve the Heavenly Immortal Rank, but because of the unexpected appearance of the Spirit Stone, it took Zhang Huban and Chi You's clones to achieve the Heavenly Immortal Rank in just fifty years, while the other clones took fifty years to advance to the Eight Tribulation Immortals.
In the past fifty years, Zhanghu has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the residents of Wudang Island and the disciples of the Wudang School have also undergone earth-shaking changes. The rich aura of Wudang City, the panacea of the Wudang faction, and the heavenly way spread by the Wudang faction for free, these favorable factors that have brought together have made the progress of the strength of the residents of Wudang Island can be said to be a thousand miles, and the people and monsters who have crossed the robbery have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, and the number of people who have survived the robbery in Wudang City is at least 100,000. The strength of the disciples of the Wudang faction and the soldiers of Wudang City is even more powerful by leaps and bounds, the best elixir refined by the Alchemy Hall is first of all supplied to them, Zhang Huban is not a miser, after the immortal stone mine was mined, in addition to leaving a part of the immortal stone to the Ministry of Commerce to start the "overseas" market funds, the rest were basically distributed to the disciples and soldiers of the Wudang faction, of course, the exercises they practiced were also very advanced, under such vigorous cultivation, after fifty years, the national defense force has no less than the three tribulation immortals.
In fifty years, no matter how dense the wall is, it will be breathable!
Canglang Island was renamed Wudang Island, and the current owner of the island is the head of the Wudang faction to teach Yunming Immortals, the news has long spread throughout the Qinglong Kingdom, but it has not caused much splash in the Qinglong Country, and most people regard this as an after-dinner conversation. As for some powerful characters, they even laughed it off and left it behind. Wudang Island, which is poor in resources and backward in strength, is not worthy of their attention.
Three golden eagles flew over Wudang Island, the leading eagle wings spread out for a hundred feet, the sunlight was also covered by this huge wing, the golden wings shined in the sun, the golden feathers on the top of the eagle's head like a crown made the eagle look more vigorous and mighty, and the arrogance of the sky radiated from the three eagles without any scruples.
"Eagle King, where can the little Wudang Island use our Golden Eagle with the noble bloodline of the Ancient Bird of Prey Golden-winged Dapeng to invite the horse, just send some Black Eagles casually!" The Golden Eagle on the left said with some disdain.
The golden eagle, known as the Eagle King, turned his head slightly to look to the left, and the golden and black pupils shot a fierce gaze, and the eagle on the left suddenly trembled and blew gusts of wind.
"Wudang Island is also an island in the Qinglong Kingdom, and the number of etiquette is still required, otherwise where is the need for this Eagle King to come out in person!" After finishing speaking, the Eagle King turned his head, Hun Sen exuded a cold aura, flapped his wings fiercely, and suddenly the wind was fierce, and the Eagle King drew a golden light and shot straight in the direction of Wudang City.
"Eagle Heaven, you really can't open any pot, the island owner sent the Eagle King to send an invitation to the small Wudang Island, and sent the Peacock King to Qinglong Island to deliver the invitation, the Eagle King is already very annoyed, you even add fuel to the fire!" The golden eagle on the right made a crisp sound, it turned out to be a female eagle, and after complaining, she also hurriedly flapped her wings and flew towards the golden dot that disappeared into the sky.
The domineering arrogance of the sky, the huge body is difficult not to attract attention, and soon there are sentry posts arranged in various places on Wudang Island, and the news that the three golden eagles of unknown origin have entered Wudang Island has been transmitted back to Wudang City.
