Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

Chapter 41 Punishing the Unjust and Destroying the Tyrannical Xiang

He himself doesn't even have a magic weapon or artifact that suits him yet.

However, this thing is not useless, Zhou Yan pondered.

He placed the spear on the ground and then began to refine the great banner.

"Knock knock knock~"

In an instant, the banner began to sway, and streams of vengeful spirits scattered from it, carrying overwhelming resentment, and rushed towards Zhou Yan.

"Give me back my life! Give me back my life!"

"snort!"

Looking at these guys, Zhou Yan immediately snorted coldly.

The sound was mixed with thunder, which immediately dispersed a large number of vengeful spirits. The rest quickly retreated into the flag, and the banner also quickly quieted down.

After an incense stick's time, the banner was completely refined.

With a thought, Zhou Yan sent a burst of blood flames flying from the flag, which floated around him. He raised his hand and extended a finger.

In the blink of an eye, the blood flame landed on his fingertips, and as his fingers danced, it continuously drew trajectories in the air.

After playing around for a few moments, Zhou Yan waved his hand to dispel the blood flames, and then a method appeared in his mind.

The "Blood Fiend Forging Weapon Method" was the very method Zhou Yan had obtained from the daily settlement.

This method requires a massive amount of blood and evil energy to cultivate. Originally, Zhou Yan didn't have the means to cultivate it and was prepared to shelve it. Unexpectedly, the Xiang Kingdom was collecting this stuff, which benefited him greatly.

He turned his gaze to the banner in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, a wave of blood spread out from it, spreading in all directions. Then, Zhou Yan used his magic power to imprison the wave of blood within the hall.

How many lives did the Xiang Kingdom actually kill?

As Zhou Yan carefully sensed the bloodthirsty aura contained within the wave of blood, he frowned slightly, pondering with a puzzled expression.

The bloodthirsty energy collected within this great banner is enough to completely succumb to the lust for slaughter in a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

It is terrifying. If they continue to collect them, they may very well threaten the cultivators of the Purple Mansion.

However, that's all for the future. Zhou Yan began to circulate the "Blood Fiend Forging Weapon Technique" in his mind, constantly drawing blood fiend energy from the banner and cultivating this technique.

Before long, the bloodthirsty aura within the banner was swept away, and Zhou Yan opened his eyes. Then, with a thought, a drop of heavy water slowly appeared on his fingertip.

Upon closer inspection, a faint crimson hue could be seen within the pitch-black, heavy water.

That's still too little.

Zhou Yan murmured to himself as he put away the heavy water.

The bloodthirsty energy within this great banner, even after his condensation, can only add to about one-tenth of the current heavy water; the amount is still too small.

Then, he looked at the seven corpses of the demon generals on the ground and frowned slightly.

This thing is full of demonic energy; even extracting its blood and evil energy is difficult to deal with.

He shook his head, then spat out a bolt of lightning that completely annihilated the seven corpses. Only then did he put away the banner and pick up the spear to refine it.

After doing all this, he waited quietly.

After a short while, the panel reappeared.

Daily settlement begins

[Today's Settlement: Enemy forces invaded; enemy troops were eliminated.]

[Evaluation: Ding Shang obtained a copy of the "Five Elements Talismans." After studying it, he can draw talismans that connect the five elements.]

The panel disappeared, and a method appeared in my mind, with five large characters written on it: "Five Elements Method".

Is this the method of talisman crafting?

After flipping through a few pages, Zhou Yan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Cultivating the four arts—alchemy, artifact crafting, talismanic arrays—will make one's cultivation path much smoother.

However, these skills are all passed down through generations, and without connections, one simply cannot access them.

I didn't expect that this panel would be given away as a gift.

He then began to carefully look through the pages.

Sunrise and sunset, and in the blink of an eye, a night has passed.

As the morning sun streamed through the window into the room, Zhou Yan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He finally finished reading the "Five Elements Manual" after spending the whole night.

This book of teachings is indeed profound.

From the very basics of talismans, there is a wide variety of instruction available, enough to train anyone to become a talisman master.

However, there are also drawbacks. The main ones are low-level talismans that can only threaten Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, and are not very useful for Purple Mansion stage. Moreover, they are all related to the Five Elements.

There were no special talismans such as lightning strike talisman, gale talisman, or swift movement talisman on it.

It's not a big problem.

Zhou Yan silently thought to himself, after all, it's just a reward from Ding Shang, I can't ask for too much.

Immediately, a thought occurred to him, and he called out to Yun Luo in his mind.

Before long, Yunluo, dressed in a light green ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and with an iron hairpin in her hair, pushed open the door and entered.

"Your Majesty, what business do you have with Lady Yunluo?"

He said with a mixture of doubt and respect.

"Are there any demon beast pelts or blood inside the manor?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yunluo nodded. "Some time ago, many aquatic creatures attacked, as well as a few scattered land demons. My father sent people to kill a group of them, and their bodies are currently stored in the manor."

"it is good."

Zhou Yan nodded before speaking, "Go and fetch me a portion of the hide and blood of a Qi Refining demon beast and a Foundation Establishment demon beast."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Although Yun Luo didn't know what Zhou Yan wanted these for, she still bowed and answered.

…………

Inside the royal palace of the Purple Cloud Kingdom, cultivators, some dressed in robes and others in armor, moved back and forth within the hall.

At that moment, a figure descended from the sky and strode in.

"Imperial Advisor, how is the matter progressing?"

"Imperial Preceptor, are there any demons hindering us this time?"

"What should we do next, Imperial Advisor?"

……

As soon as Zi Huan walked in, she was surrounded by a crowd of people asking her all sorts of questions.

Without speaking, Zi Huan walked past the crowd and came to the side of the King of Ziyun Kingdom before slowly speaking.

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."

The ruler of Ziyun Kingdom, with an early stage of the Purple Mansion cultivation, looked young and was dressed in fine clothes. Upon hearing Zi Huan's words, he immediately became excited.

"Imperial Advisor, are all the arrangements truly complete?"

"Imperial Advisor, is it true?"

"You're not lying to us, are you?"

Below, everyone looked excited.

"I am absolutely not lying," Zi Huan said, shaking his head firmly.

"Good, good, good." Upon hearing this, the king murmured to himself, then looked sharply at Zi Huan.

"Imperial Advisor, what should we do next?"

Below, everyone was watching Zi Huan with intense interest, some even rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

"The tyrannical Xiang River is wicked, and we should punish it on behalf of Heaven."

Zi Huan faced the crowd, looked around, and then slowly spoke.

"There is no time to lose; we must raise an army immediately."

"Punish the wicked, punish the tyrannical Xiang!"
