Shennong Sequence

Chapter 157: Obtain the nectar of flesh and bones, three fifth-grade precious thunder beads

"As for the true intention of the Bloody Rain spell, its quality is extremely high. If you want to practice it at this stage, you can only practice the four basic methods of the Tianshi faction to perfection, so that you can support the most basic theory of the Bloody Rain. Only in this way can you learn the Bloody Rain spell and reduce the backlash..."

“Once you have truly mastered the Bloody Rain technique, you will be able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and it will become a weapon of mass destruction on the battlefield…”

Jing Da Si Nong analyzed the matter and also pointed out that Zhao Yun did not need to worry about being used by others at this moment.

Sometimes they are not strong enough to be exploited.

There is no use thinking too much.

Then, Zhao Yun talked about his conversation with General Dong Can.

Although General Dong Can's words were a bit aggressive at first, his tone softened a bit after Zhao Yun stated that he would always be the Minister of Agriculture.

Of course, Zhao Yun would not tell all his conversations with General Dong Can. Instead, he took out a flame Taoist soldier from his space ring, and then talked about the matter with Master Sun, Li Sinong, and Jing Da Sinong.

"I went to General Dong Can, and the general treated me well and gave me some flame Taoist soldiers. However, General Dong Can said that this thing either needs someone to wear armor to exert its power, or it needs enough magic power to make it operate on its own, so that its power can be displayed."

"I have never come into contact with this kind of Taoist soldiers before, so I would like to ask the seniors to take a look at how to use this thing."

Jing Dasinong pointed his finger and a stream of magic power was injected into the body of the flame Taoist soldier.

The flame Taoist soldiers scattered on the ground made a few "crackling" sounds, and it seemed as if there was a fire man filling them up, propping up the armor.

When it stood up completely, it was two meters tall, with a glowing red light all over its body. Wisps of flames spurted out from the gaps in its armor. From a distance, it looked like a man of fire.

"They are really Taoist soldiers! How many of these things did General Dong give you? You should know that ten of them can form a formation, and a hundred of them can form an army! They are extremely valuable. At least they are comparable to a mechanical puppet, and at most they are treasures..."

When Zhao Yun heard that Jing Da Si Nong mentioned that these flame Taoist soldiers were also treasures, his heart skipped a beat. He did not dare to directly state the number, but only said: "General Dong Can was kind and gave a lot."

Since everyone was a capable person, naturally no one asked how many fire Taoist soldiers Zhao Yun had obtained.

However, Jing Da Si Nong then continued, "This flame Taoist weapon is a combination of the Gongshu School and Mohist puppetry techniques, as well as the Taoist weapon refining capabilities and military formations, etc. It is a military heavy weapon that has been combined with the strength of many schools."

"Don't underestimate me because I can command this flaming Taoist soldier at will. However, with your current strength at Sequence Nine, you probably need a hundred manas to make a flaming Taoist soldier stand up on its own and give some simple instructions. When your Sequence Nine mana is cultivated to perfection, you will need about a thousand manas to truly operate the power of a flaming Taoist soldier as you wish."

“Of course, at your level, if you use a thousand manas to simultaneously activate ten flame Taoist soldiers to issue some simple commands, it would be enough to crush most people of the same level, and even some cultivators of Sequence Eight! But the mana consumption is very high…”

"Oh, by the way, I have another idea. Maybe I can let you control more fire soldiers..."

Zhao Yun was a little surprised when he heard what Jing Da Si Nong said that the magic power required to control the fire soldiers was so high.

After all, when the magic power in his dantian is complete, there are only more than a hundred of them.

In other words, it can only support a flame Taoist soldier to perform simple actions.

Then he still had ninety-nine fire Taoist soldiers that were idle and could not be used, which was really worrying.

However, since Jing Da Si Nong said there were other ways to control the fire soldiers more effectively, Zhao Yun naturally listened carefully.

"Please tell me something, Grand Minister of Agriculture, so that I can gain some strength when I go to the Yan Gui Ling Mountain to seize Ling Xiu."

Jing Yuchan nodded, and then a small straw man appeared in his hand.

After the straw man landed on the ground, it grew against the wind and instantly reached the height of an adult.

When the flaming Taoist soldier, who was covered in flames, was put on the straw man, the raging flames that had been coming out of the flaming Taoist soldier were all absorbed into the blood-red veins in the armor and did not damage the straw man's body.

Jing Yuchan laughed and said, "The method of using straw men to replace humans to wear flame Taoist soldiers is indeed feasible. The consumption of mana can be reduced to about one tenth."

"However, the straw man is of the wood element after all, which is in conflict with the fire element. So either you increase the output of mana to ensure that the straw man is not corroded and damaged by the burning flame power inside; or you need to purchase more straw men and replace them frequently to maintain the low consumption state of the flame Taoist soldiers."

"In addition, among all types of puppets, the straw puppet is the fastest to learn and the cheapest. If you have time, you can learn the straw puppet technique first..."

When mentioning the magic of straw puppet, Zhao Yun glanced at Master Sun beside him.

He remembered that Master Sun was quite good at magic such as straw puppets.

Jing Yuchan continued, "In addition, these flame Taoist soldiers can naturally understand some simple commands because they have integrated the magic array and Taoist refining techniques, Gongshu School, and Mohist mechanical puppetry techniques."

"You can also equip them with weapons such as spears or swords, so that they can be better prepared for combat..."

Zhao Yun learned his lesson.

It just so happened that he had both gold and merit, so before heading to Yangui Lingshan, he would definitely spend it well and arm himself from head to toe!
Afterwards, they talked for a while. They talked about how after Zhao Yun returned from Yan Gui Ling Mountain, King You and General Dong Can's Flying Bear Corps would withdraw, and Zhao Yun and Master Sun would have to set off on their own, or follow some powerful caravans coming out of Yanmen Pass to Zhoucheng Guihongcheng...

Although Zhao Yun was a little disappointed when he heard this, he also understood that everyone has their own affairs and others cannot wait for him forever.

Therefore, to participate in the spiritual competition after the opening of the Yan Gui Lingshan, you need to go to Guihong City by yourself, there is no other way...

After the crowd dispersed, Sun Zhengxuan directly handed Zhao Yun a volume on the true intention of the straw puppet technique, which was only the most basic part.

In addition, Zhao Yun was given twenty combat straw men, which were enough to support Zhao Yun for a period of time.

After Zhao Yun thanked Master Sun, he went back to his room.

Just as he sat down and was about to use the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth to check the prices of various items in the Military Honor Mall, when he saw the column for friends, he remembered something else.

Earlier, Magistrate Fang sent a message through the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, asking Zhao Yun to follow Li Sinong and wait for him at the end to renegotiate the previously distributed gold.

However, Zhao Yun was forgotten after being summoned by King You and General Dong Can, and Li Sinong left the county government office. There has been no further news about this matter, and County Magistrate Fang did not mention it again in the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror...

"Alas, Commander Wang seemed to have lost his mind the past two days. He went crazy and dealt with the caravans that wanted to enter the horse market. He messed up almost all of them. He must have lost his mind..."

"Even if I am pardoned by King You this time and become a small general in the frontier camp, it will probably be difficult for me to turn things around..."

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and looked at the merit points in the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror. It had increased by several hundred points. "These additional merit points probably mean that I have found something related to the barbarians, right?"

Afterwards, Zhao Yun specifically searched for the Flame Taoist Soldiers in the Military Honor Mall.

Then there was a need to verify my own permissions!
After Zhao Yun verified his magic power and blood again, he found the information related to the Flame Taoist Soldiers.

It turns out that the Flame Taoist Soldiers have already developed more than ten models...

After comparison, Zhao Yun found that what he had was the fifth edition model.

According to the performance explanation above, when the fifth type of flame soldiers obtained by Zhao Yun are fully operational, they can fight against eighth-grade warriors. After dozens of flame soldiers are fully activated and condensed into a military formation, they can crush dozens of warriors...

After looking at the relevant parameters, Zhao Yun fell into deep thought.

According to the model of this fifth edition Flame Taoist Soldier and the amount of mana he possesses, instead of buying some ordinary weapons, it is better to purchase a few good magic weapons and use them as big killers. This will definitely allow him to protect himself in the battle for spiritual power!

After thinking about it, he decided to buy two bows and arrows of real magical level, both with thunder and fire effects.

And this thunder and fire can restrain evil spirits and also deter some monsters; and because of its fire attribute, it can cooperate with the fire attribute of the flame Taoist soldiers to increase their power.

Then he took a fancy to two flaming spears that could release a sea of ​​fire. These could be used in battle to catch the enemy by surprise.

Furthermore, I looked at the magic weapon-level Xuanhuo Shield, which is mainly used for defense.

"For now, let's get the long-range, offensive, and defensive equipment ready."

As for the merit points consumed by those magic weapons, Zhao Yun was a little surprised because the consumption was not too high!
An inferior magic weapon only requires a dozen merit points, while a more advanced one requires hundreds or thousands.

Although Zhao Yun can afford those top-level magical weapons, the higher the level of the weapon, the more mana it consumes when used, and Zhao Yun's own mana is limited!
After comprehensive consideration, and considering that my merit points were still increasing, I decided to buy two sets of everything I had just selected.

A set of medium-grade magic tools are used for daily routine use by Flame Taoist Soldiers.

A set of high-level magic weapons to be used as a trump card at critical moments.

After all, if all high-level magical instruments were used, it would be terrible if the magic power could not support them and they could not be driven.

As for armor, there is no need to bother purchasing it.

The flame Taoist soldier itself is in the shape of armor, and its own defensive effect is extremely powerful.

Furthermore, Zhao Yun himself already possessed the armor of a sixth-rank general.

He had tried it before, using his current physical strength to swing the sword and chop, but there was no trace left on the armor, and instead the sword he used broke into pieces.

Therefore, there is really no need to purchase any more defensive items.

"I am going to the Yangui Mountain this time with good fortune and the armor of a sixth-rank general for defense. For attack, I have the flame Taoist soldiers and straw puppets... and for flying, I also have the Goshawk Ring, which allows me to transform into a flying eagle and soar directly into the sky."

"At this moment, I just need something that can heal my injuries and a stronger attack force, so that I can use this as my last trump card to protect myself!"

Afterwards, Zhao Yun carefully searched the military mall in the Tiandi Baojian for healing elixirs, as well as the nectar that he was deeply impressed by for curing the broken leg and bones of the young mare.

To this end, Zhao Yun not only purchased a large number of healing pills, but also used merit points to purchase a small bottle containing fifty drops of nectar.

In addition, Zhao Yun also specifically checked those disposable explosive magical weapons or similar items.

Then, a batch of sixth-grade lightning-attribute star-blasting bamboos and three fifth-grade lightning beads were found!

Moreover, each of these fifth-grade thunder beads is worth twenty thousand levels of merit!

It is expensive, but buying it is a guarantee!
Otherwise, if you have money but nowhere to spend it, and then die in the end, that would be unfair!
Of course, Zhao Yun also bought some eighth-grade and seventh-grade thunder beads, as well as star-blasting bamboos of other qualities, and some talismans such as those for escaping underground and escaping water.

In this way, you will have corresponding weapons for each level of practice, which means you are completely armed!

At this point, Zhao Yun had almost used up his 80,000 merit points.

Then he filled in the address for receiving the items: Yanshan County Sinongjian.

The items were delivered by the departments of the Ministry of War that were specifically responsible for receiving and delivering them in various areas. However, the nearest receiving point to Zhao Yun was in Yumen Prefecture, which was some distance away from Yanshan County where he was located.

To this end, Zhao Yun paid out another 10 points of merit as special escort freight and insurance premium.

After the big purchase was completed, Zhao Yun used his magic power to prepare to refine the six flame Taoist soldiers first, so that he could directly inject magic power and activate them when needed!
But when it comes to actual refining, the process is quite slow.

Zhao Yun spent the entire afternoon only to refine two flame Taoist soldiers.

By night, Zhao Yun recovered his magic power and continued to practice spells and runes.

The next day, the Feixiong Legion led by King You and General Dong Can set off on the Cangqiong Bazhou, taking with them Zhang Zhouling, Xunbian Yushi, Jing Da Si Nong and others.

The bustling Yanshan County once again returned to silence.

Zhao Yun no longer cared about those trivial matters. His household registration had already been transferred from the Sinongjian in Yanshan County to Guihong City in Beiliangzhou.

It was considered that he had broken away from the constraints of the garrison, and even many affairs such as the previous military farming order were no longer under Zhao Yun's management...

So, the next day, Zhao Yun received the various items he purchased with his merit points, and he refined them one by one and marked them with his own mark.

In the following few days, he stayed in the Sinongjian, concentrating on refining those fire Taoist soldiers, and practiced the straw puppet method to the entry level. Then he used some spiritual rice stalks in the Sinongjian for training, and quickly practiced the straw puppet method to the state of proficiency.

"Zhao Yun, the day after tomorrow will be the day when the Wild Goose Returns to Lingshan will be opened. We have to set off early." Sun Zhengxuan found Zhao Yun who had been immersed in cultivation.
