Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 266 I Have a Secret Method for Training Soldiers
When Li Jing left Qinglian Island, he had made a fortune. Not only did he get the Huangzhongli from Houtu, but he also got the Jiuzhuan Golden Pill from Laozi.

Even Yuanshi Tianzun personally refined weapons and armor for Li Jing that were enough to arm his three thousand personal soldiers.

Although these 3,000 sets of weapons and armor were only of the ordinary magical level, using them to arm soldiers was definitely a luxury.

After all, even the personal soldiers of King Di Xin of Shang wore ordinary armor and used ordinary weapons.

Tongtian even personally built a military formation for Li Jing, with the Golden Linglong Tower as the center and three thousand personal soldiers as the support.

The formation is divided into five sections, each corresponding to a different Five Elements attribute. Once fully operational, it can withstand attacks from peak Daluo Jinxians with a force of three thousand.

If the three thousand personal soldiers who set up the formation had the ability to reach the Earthly Immortal Realm or the Heavenly Immortal Realm, even a Quasi-Saint would have to be cautious when entering the formation.

So at this moment, Li Jing was in a very good mood. The journey back to Chentangguan was truly a journey of joy and happiness.

After returning to Chentang Pass, Li Jing took out all the gifts he had received on this trip and handed them to Yin Shiniang.

Looking at the Huangzhongli and the Nine Transformations Golden Pill in front of her, Yin Shiniang couldn't help but smile and said, "Master and the others gave them to you, so just eat them yourself. Why are you giving them to me?"

Li Jing smiled and said to Yin Shiniang, "We are husband and wife, so how can there be a distinction between you and me? What's the difference between what my uncle and his friends gave me and what they gave you?"

Yin Shi Niang smiled and said, "Didn't Third Master say that the higher the strength of his personal soldiers, the more powerful the formation will be."

"Why don't you select three thousand promising talents from the army, crush these two Nine Transformations Golden Pills, and distribute them to these people before the army?"

"I believe that with these Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, it shouldn't be difficult for them to directly elevate their cultivation to the Earthly Immortal Realm or even the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

Li Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he finally shook his head and said to Yin Shiniang, "If we really did that, wouldn't Master Uncle blame us?"

"After all, this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill was given to us by Grandmaster Uncle. If we just give it to someone else, wouldn't that be a betrayal of Grandmaster Uncle's kindness?"

Yin Shiniang shook her head helplessly, then reached out and twisted the soft flesh on Li Jing's waist hard.

"I think you've been in the Chan sect for too long, and you've learned all the ways of the world there."

"We in the Qinglian Island lineage don't have so many rules. The only rule is that fellow disciples cannot turn against each other."

"As for the rest, Master and the others don't bother to care. Even if you lose the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill I gave you, no one will blame you."

"I'm just worried that you won't be willing to part with it. After all, one Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is enough to elevate your cultivation to a higher realm."

Think about it, I have already reached the Golden Immortal level. If I can reach another level, I will become a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Once a cultivator reaches the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, they need an opportunity. Once this opportunity arrives, they can break through to the Daluo stage.

This is an irresistible temptation for anyone, and the same is true for Li Jing.

But in the end, Li Jing shook his head and said to Yin Shiniang, "Why are you reluctant? The cultivation level improved by using elixirs is nothing compared to that achieved through hard work."

"Although I can use the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill to improve my cultivation without any side effects, it will make me miss out on the experience of hard training and improvement."

Yin Shiniang had never expected that Li Jing's visit to Qinglian Island would lead to such a profound change in his personality. This inevitably made Yin Shiniang happy.

In the days that followed, Li Jing began to select suitable personal soldiers in Chentang Pass. It took him three full months to finally select 3,000 personal soldiers.

However, Li Jing did not immediately use the Nine-Turn Golden Pill to help his three thousand personal soldiers improve their cultivation.

Because at this time, Li Jing could not guarantee how loyal these 3,000 personal soldiers would be to him.

Therefore, Li Jing needed some time to completely transform these 3,000 Qing soldiers into a personal army that was completely loyal to him.

In fact, Li Jing didn't know that his former master, Master Du'e, had also accepted two other disciples, named Zheng Lun and Chen Qi.

Because Zheng Lun and Chen Qi possessed the innate magical power of awakening qi. One could spray white light from his nasal cavity, and the other could breathe out white light from his throat.

When two armies were fighting, he would unleash his innate magical power, and a burst of white light would instantly cause the opponent to lose their mind and soul. They would surely become his captives.

However, because their cultivation levels were too low, the time they could make the other party unstable was very short.

In such a short time, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi were not confident enough to kill the other party, let alone capture him alive.

In order to make up for this shortcoming, Master Du'e passed on the secret methods of training three thousand crow soldiers and three thousand flying tiger soldiers to Zheng Lun and Chen Qi respectively.

Let them cooperate with Zheng Lun and Chen Qi respectively, and when the opponent is awakened by the magical power, they should step forward immediately to capture or kill him.

Moreover, this method of training soldiers is not only mastered by Master Du'e. Many disciples of the Chan and Jie sects are proficient in this technique.

It’s a pity that Li Jing failed to learn the secret method of training soldiers from Master Du’e.

Otherwise, Li Jing wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble. He could have simply found three thousand soldiers and trained them to be his personal guard, and loyal to them.

So when Li Jing gathered these 3,000 personal soldiers, more than a year had passed. At this time, his wife Yin Shi Niang was already ten months pregnant and about to give birth.

On this day, Li Jing was still training his 3,000 personal soldiers. He had even begun preparing and arranging the battle formations passed down to him by Tongtian.

At this moment, a Taoist priest came from Chentang Pass. Standing in the air above the military camp, he watched Li Jing training his troops and couldn't help laughing.

This also alarmed Li Jing, who immediately took off into the air. He bowed to the Taoist priest and then asked.

"I don't know what this fellow Daoist's name is. I'm training troops here, so why are you laughing for no reason?"

The Taoist said with a smile: "Although the general's method of training soldiers can produce an elite force, it is still just an ordinary soldier."

"I have a secret method that can transform these three thousand soldiers into three thousand Flying Tiger Soldiers. Would you like to learn it?"

After hearing this, Li Jing didn't answer the other party immediately. Instead, he asked, "Why did you teach me the art of military training for no reason? Is there something you want?"

The Taoist couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this. "Since General Li has said this, there is no need for me to hide anything."

"I am Samantabhadra, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. I have come here today to accept General Li's second son as my disciple."

"Of course, whether General Li is willing or not, let your second son become my disciple. I will leave this method of training soldiers to you."
