Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 441 The Taste of War

The Qiantang River calms down, but the Taihu Lake is in turmoil.

After returning to Feilai Peak that day, Xiaoqing immediately went back to Xishan to continue training her troops.

There are only two weeks left before the expedition begins. Although there are many minor monsters and demons around, it is also a good time to train the courage of my subordinates.

As the saying goes, quality is more important than quantity in warfare. The original thousand or so soldiers here have been reduced in number after being screened.

After surrendering, Yu Bai was fully demonstrating the talent he inherited from Doctor Fan, but unfortunately, due to the machinations of villains around the king, he was stripped of half of his military power.

If it weren't for Master Xu's warning, it wouldn't have hesitated to teach that old turtle a lesson.

Gui Da was also frustrated. What was there to fight over with these few monsters and demon soldiers? He could have everything by clinging to the Great Demon King's coattails.

The Great Demon King Xu, who frequently comes to patrol in secret.
The way you two check and balance each other is so clever!

The troops stationed at Taihu Lake are crucial to the counterattack against the Dongting Lake system, and the entire Baoan Hall attaches great importance to this.

The Ji Family Chamber of Commerce received a large order two months ago to purchase various spiritual materials and medicinal herbs, as well as cinnabar and beast blood.

The quantity was so large that it seemed like a clinic could handle it.

Fortunately, the war against demons didn't require food or minerals, otherwise the old master of the Ji family wouldn't have dared to take on this order.

Even so, I felt a strange sense of wariness and awe towards Instructor Xu.

In addition, the newly hired retainer mentioned that Master Mao was recruiting followers.
"I hope Rui'er will heed my words and not get too close."

All these elixirs and medicinal materials were sent to several strongholds near Qiantang.

The entire pre-production process for pills has been handed over to the independent cultivators.

The final step was to transport it to Baoan Hall, where Master Mao, who was recuperating from his injuries, would refine it into its final form.

They were frantically increasing logistical capacity at a pace almost like a modern assembly line.

If it weren't for the fact that the final step of refining pills, both literary and martial, requires a certain amount of talent and experience, he would have loved to teach everyone step by step.

More sensitive items like weapons and armor don't need to be a concern for now.

Many demon weapons are forged from parts of their own bodies, while lesser spirits and monsters can use readily available human weapons.
Although their bodies are so large that even wooden sticks can be extremely lethal, isn't fighting each other just about who has more monsters and whose weapons are sharper?

We must also thank Deng You for the foundation he laid in the previous years. No one knows why the centipede demon hoarded weapons, ensuring that the aquatic creatures of Taihu Lake no longer lacked weapons.

Otherwise, this matter will be really difficult to handle.

Not only is logistics running at full speed, but combat power is also expanding.

Li Yingqi, the first disciple of Manager Qing, was also sent over.

Since the day he decided to establish the new Shu Mountain, Yan Chixia seemed to have found a new goal in life: to cultivate a peerless swordsman and sect leader.

He even went a little crazy after contemplating for three days and three nights.

I felt that such a genius should no longer be confined to the Baoan Hall to grow, but should instead follow the example of the founder and go out into the vast world to hone his skills.

For example, they could be sent to the war-torn north to fight alongside the cold demons, or to the Sichuan region to battle against evil spirits.

Xu Xuan interrupted this outrageous plan.

Although he has accepted the difference between children in the fantasy world and ordinary children.

However, the demons of the cold lands are not to be trifled with; even Senior Brother Ruoxu had to personally go to suppress them. The Sichuan region, needless to say, has already become a stronghold of evil spirits.

When he was young, the Long-Browed Immortal was blessed with good fortune and the wisdom of reincarnation. He was also taken in by a wandering immortal, which enabled him to act with impunity.

Li Yingqi, you shouldn't make such a rash request. Our Bao'an Hall isn't the best in the world, is it? Hmm?
However, upon closer inspection, this young girl's qualifications don't seem to be that bad.

Even without a free spirit like Chu Sanzi, becoming a disciple of Xiaoqing and having Bai Suzhen protecting you isn't much different.

As for magical treasures, they will certainly not be lacking, and there will be no shortage of training. Even destiny is already with them.

If he can grow up smoothly, he certainly won't be much worse than the Long-Browed Immortal.

Of course, the current seedlings still need to be developed step by step.

Under Master Xu's earnest persuasion, he arranged for her to go to Taihu Lake to help. With the girl's current swordsmanship and Qi cultivation, she was just right to participate in this kind of battle.

As for Yu Yingnan and Yan Renying, they need to continue their arduous training in Baoan Hall, and they will join the war when the conditions are right.

Xu Xuan wouldn't even mind letting the main characters in the academy practice their skills if the time was right.

As soon as Li Yingqi arrived at Taihu Lake, several fierce-looking monsters tried to scare the little girl, but how could monsters that had not yet taken human form be a match for this enhanced version of the little killer star?

If Yu Bai hadn't felt sorry for the demon villagers who had grown up with such difficulty, he would have prepared several more plates of sashimi that day.

The little heroine, who had established her own prowess, was even awarded the position of vanguard officer.

Xiaoqing was given the title casually, and then Li Yingqi's killing intent began to surge. In half a month, his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, and the progress was frightening.

Even Xu Xuan was speechless when he found out. How could a little monster know the extraordinary nature of the vanguard position? It was the treatment reserved for the protagonist of a calamity.

Giving it to that girl would be just right.

In short, the mysterious organization in Qiantang is baring its fangs and stepping into the limelight, and the prototype of a war in the cultivation world is emerging.

The aura of calamity has spread from the county along the river.

The Dragon King had been observing for a long time, waiting to see the show.

After all, there have been a lot of dramas in Jiangnan these past two years, which have even spread to the Yangtze River region.

Another group of monks has appeared on that island in the river, and they're even connected to the White Lotus. They really never stop causing trouble.

A monk on an island in the middle of the river.
"Amitabha."

"Only by going through countless tribulations can one attain enlightenment."

At this time, we are at Zhenjiangkou, which is an island in the middle of the river in Dantu County.

Master Guangliang was also lamenting the calamities he had encountered, and in his thoughts, he even vomited a mouthful of golden blood.

After the Blood Demon's rampage, it wasn't just Feilai Peak that was injured, but also this great monk of the third realm.

His golden body was broken, his Dharma body was severely injured, and his three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit almost caused him to fall from his realm.

But it's good that I survived; at worst, it will take more than ten years to recover.

The more urgent matter was finding a place to settle the dozens of disciples who were willing to stay.

Those who remain are the core members of the Buddhist community; they cannot be allowed to run away again.

The problems remaining on Feilai Peak are very serious.

If Bai Suzhen hadn't used her Taoist supernatural powers to wash away the remaining marks of the Blood Demon, this mountaintop would have been a forbidden zone for living beings for at least a hundred years.

Even so, the mountain was bombarded and destroyed in a major battle, with its foundation nearly completely destroyed.

Reconstruction would require leveling the hilltop, which would take two to three years, even at a high cost.

Therefore, they had to temporarily stay at other temples.

Temples can't just be opened on any mountain, unless it's a hermit sect deep in the mountains that doesn't need incense offerings, where monks can just dig a cave.

Zen Buddhism is a school of thought that aims to benefit all people and enlighten the world.

Therefore, it is necessary to obtain local official approval to establish a mountain gate, and the monks in the temple also have special certificates and credentials.
