Chapter 210 - 210: 58: Zhao Huai Breaks Through, Can

The only thing that puzzled Song Zhishu was that he had heard from his grandfather that the Crown Prince’s aptitude had not been very good before, and he wasn’t even cut out for Immortal Cultivation.

He didn’t know why he had such extraordinary talent now.

He felt that he must have had some kind of opportunity.

A great lucky person gets opportunities, and once they enter the path, they can make rapid progress in their cultivation in a short period of time.

There are many similar examples in the Immortal Cultivation World, and you can hear about them every year.

After leaving the city gate and returning to the manor.

Zhao Huai thought about the surprised expressions of the people and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Indeed, his cultivation had improved now, and if Yan Country were to unify in the future, the amount of perpetuation power he would receive would be even greater.

However, in comparison, the cultivations of these subordinates of Yan Country were obviously not enough.

Should he consider improving the strength of Yan Country’s former department?

However, cultivating subordinates requires a large amount of resources.

Right now, all he had on hand was a single heavenly bloody spiritual stone.

Purchasing pills would require a considerable number of spiritual stones.

So, instead of using spiritual stones to buy them, it would be better to refine them himself.

After obtaining the Small World in the Treasured Mirror, he discovered that the small world could not only be used for cultivation but also for nurturing panacea.

With the speed of time flow, panacea and universal treasures would mature faster.

Through these days of exploration, he had already discovered the correct usage of the Ancestral Weapon, the Treasured Mirror.

The Treasured Mirror would automatically absorb the spiritual qi between Heaven and Earth, replenishing its power.

This process was extremely slow.

He could only feel that the Treasured Mirror was charging, but he still couldn’t enter it.

However, there is another method to open the Small World in the Treasured Mirror, which is to feed it with enough spiritual stones.

Spiritual qi is like an energy source, providing a large amount of spiritual stones can keep the small world operating continuously.

But the consumption of spiritual stones is enormous.

He roughly calculated that feeding one hundred spiritual stones could allow the small world to operate for an hour.

It would take two thousand four hundred spiritual stones for a day.

In a month, it would be seventy-two thousand pieces.

In a year, it could reach more than eight hundred thousand.

This terrifying number would make even the capitalists blush.

Zhao Huai’s entire fortune combined would definitely not exceed one hundred thousand pieces.

Maintaining half a month might be possible, but if more is needed, even more spiritual stones would be required.

He also found out that other creatures cannot enter this small world besides himself.

He abandoned the idea of using the small world to cultivate his subordinates.

If he wanted to cultivate subordinates, he would need a large amount of elixirs and an alchemist worth his salt.

Learning alchemy is not an easy thing, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few alchemists in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Even an alchemist in the ninth grade, when placed in large aristocratic families, would be treated like a treasure.

Moreover, learning alchemy requires a master, and alchemists won’t easily accept apprentices, and they rarely accept apprentices because they are mostly busy and have no time.

If he wanted to learn alchemy, studying the contents of the books would not be enough. Most of alchemy is related to practice, so it is best to find a teacher.

Suddenly.

Zhao Huai thought of Yan Jing.

Wasn’t he an alchemist?

Moreover, he was a disciple of one of the Five Immortal Sects, Medicine Pill Valley, and this identity carried great value.

There were many alchemists in Medicine Pill Valley.

When Yan Jing left, he had given him a token, which might be useful, right?

Medicine Pill Valley was responsible for overseeing most alchemists, including those in the Mortal World.

He could use this token to establish a connection with Medicine Pill Valley. In this way, wouldn’t the matter of alchemists have a way out?

Zhao Huai made up his mind and decided to go out.

He would go to the Heavenly Treasures Trade Association branch in Nanyu Prefecture first and see what he could find.

Outside the wall of the Xia’s Imperial City.

As far as the eye could see, there was a dense army with wolf cavalry neatly arranged. The black wolves under the soldiers bared their teeth and snarled, their eyes blood red.

The Northern Wolf Army had already encroached upon the territory, coming to Xia’s capital’s door.

Every Northern Wolf soldier who came here had a distinctly different appearance from the people of Xia Country, with deep eye sockets and dark skin.

Nevertheless, without exception, their morale was extremely high.

The Northern Wolf Empire’s army steadily marched southward along the border, breaking through ten states, capturing cities and looting resources, causing a wasteland and a deadly silence in a thousand miles radius.

But this also reflected the unstoppable momentum of the Northern Wolf Army.

They were like bulldozers, pushing everything in front of them with hardly any substantial resistance.

One year ago, this would have been nearly impossible. Although Crown Prince Yu Shihuang wasn’t very smart, he was very serious about military affairs. With him around, the Northern Wolf Empire would not have been able to invade them.

“Your Majesty, this is the capital of Xia Country. To the south, we can secure the Central Plains, and to the west, we can reach the western countries. This is a geomantic treasure land. Capturing it would be extremely beneficial to us.”

In the commanding tent, the generals of the Northern Wolf Empire sat down in order.

A man with eagle eyes and wolf-like features, wearing a barbaric beast bracer in his arms, a black emperor’s robe adorned with demonic bones and black jade, listened to the reports of the people in front of him.

“Imperial Teacher, what do you think?”

The Wolf Emperor’s sharp eagle eyes turned to an elder beside him.

The elder was short in stature, wearing a gray robe with a very strange pattern on it, and his face was covered with intricate tattoos.

This man was none other than the Imperial Teacher of the Northern Wolf Empire at present.

‘The Imperial reacher said calmly:

“As long as we capture this city, the demise of Xia Country will not be far away. I have already communicated with the divine tree, and the presence of the divine dragon in the south indicates that the remnants of Yan are also exerting their efforts. Now is the best time to destroy Xia Country.”

“And the New Emperor of Xia has died, now Xia is nothing more than a toothless sick tiger.”

After hearing the Imperial Teacher’s words, the Wolf Emperor felt reassured and nodded: “In that case, make the arrangements, cut the timber, build the carts, and prepare for the siege!”
