Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 522 The True Use of the Treasure Bowl, Still Not Satisfying
Zhu Jinzhen then began to study the other functions of the treasure basin.

Accumulating wealth was of little use to Zhu Jinzhen.

As the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jinzhen had already gained a preliminary understanding of various fortunes, so it was not difficult for him to mobilize some fortune to bless someone.

The things that the Treasure Bowl can do, such as unexpected wealth, being blessed by good fortune, or becoming rich overnight, are all things that Zhu Jinzhen can do himself.

Zhu Jinzhen was somewhat curious about the Treasure Basin's ability to gather unlimited treasures, but since it hadn't been a month yet, he couldn't guess the upper or lower limits of its treasure-gathering capacity, or what the so-called treasures of the heavens were.

The last function of the Treasure Basin, universal treasure coins, surprised Zhu Jinzhen somewhat.

"A universal coin formed from the laws and fortune?" Zhu Jinzhen held a golden coin in his hand. Although it was formed from condensed energy, it was even more dazzling than gold.

Holding it in his hand, Zhu Jinzhen felt as if he were holding the world in his grasp.

Zhu Jinzhen crushed the universal coin and couldn't help but shake his head:
"The potential of the martial arts world is ultimately too low."

"Although it can condense these so-called universal treasure coins, the condensation speed is too slow. It takes two hours to barely condense one. Although it has endless wonderful uses and can help comprehend the laws and enhance one's fortune, but..."

"The results are not as good as we expected so far."

"According to the principle of one universal coin condensed every two hours, this currency, which carries some aura of laws, can accelerate the comprehension of celestial phenomena and terrestrial immortals and increase their cultivation speed. Its uses are extraordinary, but... it is still not as direct as the copying function."

"At least for now."

Universal coins naturally have endless uses.

However, it is not of much use to Zhu Jinzhen for the time being.

After all, the Martial World is not connected to powerful worlds, nor is it linked to organizations of all heavens. The Treasure Basin cannot generate this type of currency in a targeted manner. The universal treasure money, which is simply condensed from the aura of the laws of heaven and earth, cannot be considered a circulating currency. It can only be considered a currency that can accelerate the speed of comprehension and cultivation.

For the time being, it is not of much use to Zhu Jinzhen.

Next, Zhu Jinzhen conducted several experiments related to the treasure basin.

A conclusion was quickly reached.

He seems... still too superficial!
Although the treasure basin can only double the number of pills each time, as long as it does not exceed its capacity limit, it can hold sixteen or even thirty-two pills at a time.

One minute later, it will still produce the same number of pills.

"Hiss, I thought that infinite replication once a minute was the limit, but I didn't expect it could be like this." Zhu Jinzhen watched as the Earth Dragon Pills in the Treasure Basin increased from thirty-two to sixty-two in one minute, and then directly to one hundred and twenty-eight a minute later.

He then realized what superficiality truly meant.

"Wait, that's not right."

When the treasure basin was overflowing and radiating golden light, but it stopped replicating infinitely, Zhu Jinzhen realized something was wrong: "The number of pills is 498, which is 14 fewer than the expected 512."

Is it the upper limit of the Treasure Bowl? Or...?

After several more trials, Zhu Jinzhen finally understood.

The Treasure Bowl does indeed produce infinitely, but it also has a limitation that is not really a limit: it cannot exceed the limit that the Treasure Bowl can hold. Once it overflows, the infinitely replicating Treasure Bowl will stop working.

As long as it doesn't overflow, the contents of the treasure bowl will keep doubling.

"As long as it doesn't overflow, it can be replicated infinitely?" Zhu Jinzhen pinched his chin, his lips curving upwards wildly. With a wave of his hand, the treasure basin rose into the air, its nozzle pointing towards the ground. Then, thirty-two Earth Dragon Pills were thrown in again.

Under Zhu Jinzhen's watchful gaze, a minute later, the Earth Dragon Pills, which had been partially tilted, began to roll out of the Treasure Basin. A minute later, other pills that had been replicated in the Treasure Basin also sprayed out like popcorn.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Jinzhen's eyes revealed an expression that said, "Indeed, this is the true use of the treasure bowl."

In just half an hour, a mountain of Earth Dragon Pills, resembling a small hill, had piled up in front of Zhu Jinzhen. At a rough glance, there were at least several thousand pills.

"Yimei, send the female guards to guard this place. Make sure not even a fly can get in." Zhu Jinzhen gave the order, but his hands didn't stop moving. The fortune of the Ming Dynasty, the will of the sword, and the rules of the sword were all hung on the treasure basin.

"Yes."

Looking at the mountain of Earth Dragon Pills before her, Yan Yimei clearly realized something. Without a word, her Celestial Thought swept out instantly, summoning all the female guards stationed outside the capital and the palace who were above the level of terrestrial Celestials.

They were Changsun Wangqing's personal guards, and each of them was utterly loyal.

More importantly, almost all members of the Women's Guard Battalion had undergone the synchronous training of the Martial Arts Cultivation Furnace, and more than half of them were at a level above the Earth Immortal realm.

The inner palace, Kunning Palace.

Changsun Wangqing glanced outside in surprise: "Yimei summoned the female guards to the palace at this time? Could it be related to His Majesty's sudden order to guard the side hall?"

In the seemingly peaceful capital city, dozens of female guards suddenly converged from all directions.

Without Zhu Jinzhen's decree, Yan Yimei would never have suddenly mobilized the Women's Guard Battalion.

The generals of Cangyun and Tiance in the capital city naturally noticed it and were all curious about what had happened.

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After arranging the matters concerning the treasure basin, Zhu Jinzhen summoned Zhang Mao, who had been waiting for half a day.

"May Your Majesty be well."

"I am at peace."

Zhu Jinzhen waved his hand, indicating that Zhang Mao need not stand on ceremony: "Duke of Yingguo, you have already made preparations to see me today?"

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War and the Five Military Commissions have coordinated, and the logistics and provisions are ready. Your humble servant is ready to don armor and lead the soldiers of our Great Ming back to the Zhengtong era, to expand our territory and conquer that world." Zhang Mao's tone was impassioned, his voice filled with obvious excitement and eagerness.

Zhu Jinzhen nodded slightly. Various memorials from the Ministry of War and the Five Military Commissions were laid out before him. Indeed, the conquest of the Ming Dynasty world should be put on the agenda.

but……

Seeing Zhang Mao's expectant gaze, Zhu Jinzhen shook his head slightly and said, "Wait two more days. I do not intend to increase the number of troops in that world too much. Your mission is arduous. In addition to the Ming Dynasty, you must also wipe out the barbarians and make that world truly a place where the sun and moon shine and the rivers flow, all of which are the land of our Ming Dynasty."

"Therefore, after much deliberation, I have decided to further enhance the strength of the Imperial Guard."

As for when you finally thought it over again?
just now!

"Your Majesty...Does Your Majesty mean that we should continue to improve the strength of the Imperial Guard?" Zhang Mao's voice trembled. After the Japanese army set off, the strength of the Imperial Guard was fully exposed. The average person was a third-rank martial artist, and many of them were even comparable to the Vajra Realm.

Such a warrior army is enough to sweep across a country.

His Majesty seems to feel it's not secure enough, or not satisfied enough?

"Ah."

"That world, in the end, was also the Ming Dynasty."

"According to the latest intelligence obtained by the secret guards, based on my deduction, if our Great Ming does not intervene, in the Battle of Tumu, Zhu Qizhen of that world will wipe out our Great Ming's 500,000-strong army in one fell swoop, causing the Great Ming of that world to decline from its peak."

"Since we're going to fight, let's not allow the Ming Dynasty in that world to have any power to resist."
