Chapter 383: White-Level Secret Method of Turning Stone Into Gold and Jade?

Chapter 383 Turning Stone into Gold·Yubai-level Secret Method?

The Yellow Turban Army has gained nearly 500,000 people these days by taking advantage of its geographical proximity to the "Gate of Disaster" and its first-mover advantage.

But problems also followed one after another.

That is, it is difficult to settle so many people.

Especially since Zhang Jiao is not a human lord, he cannot be supplied by the "treasure box" given by the will of the earth, and can only rely on his own development. Now both food and resources are tight to a certain extent!

"In fact, Zhang Jiao invited Mr. Shui Jing and Shi Yuan to Baiyujing this time because there are more refugees rescued now, and the food we originally prepared is a little insufficient... I wonder if Baiyujing has extra food to sell to us? It will take about 100,000 stones!"

Zhang Jiao, holding a nine-section talisman staff, spoke first.

For Xia Tian, ​​this is naturally not impossible!

Although the amount of spiritual rice that can be cultivated by the "five-color spiritual soil" of Baiyujing alone is not much, it is difficult to supply Baiyujing.

But don't forget that the entire valley where Shen Xiu'er's "Spiritual Spring" territory is located is all of extremely high-quality spiritual soil, and the food cultivated is more than enough to feed a million people...

"Great, the Yellow Turban Army is willing to trade these 100,000 stones of food with the "exotic treasures" or "catastrophe beads" left by the "catastrophe creatures"..."

Zhang Jiao's face showed joy.

Except for those who have successfully "exchanged their lives", catastrophe creatures will all turn into ashes once they die.

Therefore, it is very difficult to obtain food by hunting.

Fortunately, catastrophe creatures will at least leave a certain amount of "catastrophe copper beads", and "catastrophe creatures" with a silver rating or above will leave "catastrophe treasures".

The former can buy items from the "catastrophe treasury", and the latter can allow people to directly obtain "power", so they naturally have the value of being used as currency!

"If City Lord Xia is willing, can Baiyujing help accept some refugees?"

However, the next words from Zhang Jiao's mouth made Xia Tian stunned.

"Refugees?"

No lord would refuse "population".

Especially, "founding a country" does not seem to have the same strict population requirements as in the village and town period.

But in fact, there are still hidden "restrictions".

For example, during this march, Baiyujing defeated a large number of foreign forces, and prepared to build a large number of "towns" based on its territory to prepare for "founding a country", but this involves a problem.

Not enough population!

Although Baiyujing's own population is nearly one million, those people are concentrated in the main city.

"The Kingdom of Luck" is different from the "Fortune City". It not only requires the sea of ​​​​luck clouds to cover a thousand miles, but also requires ten "city"-level or one hundred "luck town"-level sub-territories...

And to build a "luck town" foundation, it takes almost tens of thousands of people, and the "luck city" requires more than 100,000 people!

In this way, even if part of the population of the main city is moved out, Baiyujing's personnel gap is at least 500,000.

Of course, there is another way, which is to develop "subordinate territories" to make up for the shortage.

This time, the many territories that are allied with Baiyujing, big and small, add up to a population of one million without any problem.

However, the subordinate territories only provide half of the luck, and are still not as reliable as their own sub-territories.

Just like the "feudal system" and the "county system", the ancient Chinese experience has long proved which system is more stable!

However, it is not as simple as imagined at the beginning to gain population, especially Xia Tian found that he had made a mistake!

It was originally thought that the "Gate of Catastrophe" would attract the human forces of tens of thousands of miles around, and it would be a good opportunity for Baiyujing to recruit population, like the last time the population of the "Imperial Tomb Secret Realm" increased sharply!

But now that this city has been built for several days, the number of refugees collected does not even exceed 10,000 people a day, which is far from what expected!

After careful thinking, Xia Tian realized the reason.

That is, when the "Human Secret Realm" was opened before, everyone knew that there were benefits, so they gathered there. Now this "Gate of Disaster" is a "bad thing". Except for the human luck that was ordered by the Eternal Will, the rest of the human race naturally avoids it...

What Baiyujing can really accept are the refugees who are already near the "Gate of Disaster" and whose homes are broken and displaced due to the impact of the creatures of the disaster...

The number of these human refugees is limited. Baiyujing may only be able to collect the population it needs by taking the initiative!

Of course, there are special cases like now, Zhang Jiao actually took the initiative to "send people"?

"Is there a trick?"

However, Xia Tian was a little confused after being happy.

The Yellow Turban Army finally gathered so many people, why did they "send them"?

To be honest, it was the first time that Xia Tian saw a force that drove its own population out...

"'Taiping Dao' accepts believers, and sincerity is effective... If you don't want to believe in 'Huang Tian', then you can't become a member of the 'Yellow Turban Warriors'..."

As if seeing Xia Tian's doubts, Zhang Jiao, holding the nine-section talisman staff, said.

Xia Tian understood that this kind of religious force was different from ordinary kingdoms of destiny. It required pure "power of faith" to help establish the "Kingdom of God"!

Therefore, for Zhang Jiao, refugees who do not believe in "Huang Tian" not only cannot provide "the power of faith", but will also affect the remaining believers!

Coupled with the problems of food and resources, it is better to keep these people to "affect the morale of the military."

It's better to find a more suitable place to go. For example, Bai Yujing!

"It is Bai Yujing's duty to save the human race!"

After understanding the reason, Xia Tian's heart was naturally full of joy. Now Bai Yujing itself has a population of more than 800,000. If it can really receive these 200,000 people, it will be enough to make the total population exceed one million!

Although there is still a certain gap between the minimum limit of 1.5 million, it is enough to add twenty luck towns, which is worth a lot of money!

It is worth mentioning that only those who reach the level of "luck town" are officially recognized as "sub-territories" by the Eternal Land.

Just like the "Mountain God Territory" is outside the coverage of Bai Yujing's Qi Luck Sea of ​​Clouds, as a "Qi Luck Town" itself it can also generate a "Qi Luck Sea of ​​Clouds", which is enough to carry the functions of special buildings such as the "Great Qin Chidao"!

Of course, since the Yellow Turban Army provided such a large population, Bai Yujing could not help but express his opinion.

"Bai Yujing is willing to give an additional 100,000 shi of food from Taiping Road and 100,000 Tianyuan coins to show his gratitude to the great sage and good master who saves the suffering people in the world!"

Xia Tian reciprocated the favor, and the two parties were naturally happy to cooperate, and further discussed some other aspects of cooperation.

Until the burning power of Zhang Jiao's "spiritual talisman" was exhausted.

It can be said that both parties enjoy themselves as guest and host!

And reached a "strategic" cooperative relationship to deal with the catastrophic creatures.

"Congratulations to the Lord of the City. With this population of 200,000, Bai Yujing will soon be able to take a further step..."

At this time, Mr. Shui Jing, who had been watching the conversation between the two, stroked his beard with his hand and said with a smile on his face.

"I would also like to thank Mr. Shui Jing for this. If it weren't for your mediation, the Great Master might not have chosen Bai Yujing to cooperate."

Xia Tian also smiled.

"No, I'll tell you the truth, Lord City Lord. The matter of the great virtuous master sending people away is actually all the credit of Pang Shiyuan..."

Mr. Shui Jing shook his head and looked at the ugly-looking Pang Tong next to him.

"oh?"

Xia Tian's face moved.

He asked, why would Zhang Jiao suddenly "give someone away" to him when he was doing well?

To take a step back, even if it is to give away people, these people can be given to some forces that are not as powerful as Bai Yujing.

You know, the more populous Bai Yujing is, the closer it is to the founding of the People's Republic of China.

It is naturally beneficial to the surrounding humans, but it also has "hidden dangers".

Normally, I wouldn’t choose this!

"I wonder, Mr. Feng Chu, are you willing to serve as an official in Bai Yujing? Bai Yujing is willing to treat you as the master of the same palace..."

Palace Master, this is a very high status.

Generally speaking, even the most qualified people in Bai Yujing can only be awarded the gold medal after they have reached the gold rating.

However, Pang Tong himself is a golden hero and even Bai Yujing has attracted a "population of 200,000", so he is fully qualified to directly become the "lord of the palace"!

"I'm sorry, the Great Master has saved my life. This time I am traveling as an 'envoy'..."

Pang Tong actually yearned for Bai Yujing in his heart.

After all, this human territory, where he can exert his talents, is far superior to religious forces like the "Yellow Turban Army"!

However, various reasons made him unwilling to join now, and he wanted to use the Yellow Turban Army to "earn achievements" and compete with "Wolong".

"This object is a phoenix bone, a spiritual weapon that I nourished with my essence and blood... Please accept it, Mr. Feng Chu..."

Although Xia Tian didn't know what Pang Tong was thinking.

But he probably guessed it, so with a thought, a phoenix flew out from his chest, emitting the power of golden-red flames in the air. Then it converged its breath and turned into a golden bone, suspended in Pang Tong's body. Around you!

"Qiang, Qiang?"

Immediately, as if sensing something, a translucent "little phoenix" flew out of Pang Tong's body, flying left and right around the "golden bone", sending out mental fluctuations of extreme surprise, kindness, and longing!

This is a special rare treasure that was opened from the first golden "Colorful Universe Gourd" that summer.

It has been maintained for almost half a year through the "Method of Tempering Qi and Blood Soldiers" of the "Barbarian Clan", and now in terms of power alone, it is no less than a top-notch extraordinary spiritual weapon!

Now, it was given to Pang Tong, and its intention was self-evident.

"City Lord Xia...this thing is too valuable. Please forgive Pang Tong for not accepting it for the time being."

Even Pang Tong, who was arrogant and arrogant, could not help but be moved. He must know that the "Phoenix Spirit" accompanying him was in a "young phoenix" state and lacked a real physical body.

And Xia Tian's "Phoenix Bones" can be said to be tailor-made for him.

Moreover, this "Phoenix Bones" was formed by Xia Tian himself using his essence and blood, but he was willing to give it to him, which was of even greater significance!

Pang Tong himself still wanted to refuse, but the "Phoenix Spirit" looked like he had found a treasure. If he didn't agree to this situation, I'm afraid the "Little Phoenix" would stay in Bai Yujing!

When the time comes, it will be difficult for a scribe like me who is "powerless" to "get things done" in the Eternal Land.

"Then Pang Tong would be disrespectful!"

In the end, it can only be "forced" to accept it.

On the surface, he still maintained his "arrogance", but in his heart, he was convinced by Xia Tian's method.

It’s like an ancient emperor taking off his jade pendant that he had worn for many years and giving it to his ministers. The importance of the gift is not important, but the meaning is important!

Of course, the things worn by the emperor are generally not bad.

“Haha, after hearing the news from the two of you, Lord Zhuge has returned from outside. Please ask Mr. Fengchu to stay for a while... In two days, I will ask the commander of the Zhao army to escort Mr. Fengchu back...”

Of course, in addition to escorting Pang Tong "back to the Yellow Turban Army", its main purpose is to accept the "two hundred thousand" refugees!

…

“Sir, Mr. Murong wants to see you!”

After Pang Tong and Sima Hui left, Ah Zhu came in again and brought a message.

“Oh, the secret method of ‘Dou Zhuan Xing Yi’?”

“Mr. Murong is willing to take out the secret method of his family, Bai Yujing is very grateful. Ah Zhu, go get five ‘Zhenren Dan’ and five thousand Tianyuan coins for Mr. Murong...”

Strictly speaking, Xia Tian really doesn’t have much good feelings for Murong Fu.

Just because this person is cold-hearted, he will do anything to achieve his goal, and he can even kill his relatives and family generals. In a sense, he is more despicable than Dongfang Bubai and Xiongba, who are also "villains"!

But the attributes of the skills he handed over are really good.

[Fighting Stars (Gold)]

[Level] Extraordinary

[Type] Secret

[Features] Fighting Stars (can transfer various attacks and change their trajectories), return the opponent's attack (after practicing to the level of "Master", you can return the opponent's attack to yourself)

[Description] At the end of the Five Dynasties, a martial arts genius Murong Longcheng emerged in the Murong family, who created the superb martial arts of "Fighting Stars", which was invincible and famous in the world! Because of the ancestral teachings, he intended to restore the country, but the world must be united after a long period of division. The Song Dynasty was peaceful and people wanted to govern. Although Murong Longcheng's martial arts were strong, he did not make any achievements in the end and died in depression!

Spiritual skills and secrets, in terms of value alone, seem to be inferior to strange arts and magical powers!

For individuals, it is true.

Just like the "Eye of Mocking Wind" and the "Daluo Cave Observation", the latter is definitely more valuable.

But for a force, it is the "spiritual skills and secret methods" that are more valuable.

Because spiritual skills and secret methods can be practiced by everyone, while special skills and supernatural powers are difficult to obtain directly through practice.

Instead, it requires meeting various conditions, and even relying on the method of "inheritance" to be used!

Therefore, for Bai Yujing, the comprehensive value of the "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" secret method handed in by Murong Fu should even be higher than ordinary special skills, which is why Xia Tian is willing to give a high reward!

["Do you want to consume 100 merits and 100,000 luck to "turn stones into gold"? "]

What surprised Xia Tian was that when he took it in his hand, there was a reminder of the will of the earth, which emerged in Xia Tian's mind.

"Can golden items also be "turned into gold"? "

Xia Tian was stunned at first.

However, he immediately remembered that the gold color was limited before turning stones into gold, because it took "merit power" to strengthen to the jade white rating!

Bai Yujing has killed a large number of catastrophe creatures in these days.

And most of them are the catastrophe creatures that killed the Eternal Land "for their lives"!

The "merit of heaven and earth" provided by these creatures is far more powerful than the catastrophe creatures of Bai Yujing before. Now Bai Yujing has accumulated more than 5,000 merits. It is completely okay to consume 100 merits to test it!

"Use..."

A purple-gold light enveloped it, and after it dissipated, the "secret method" in his hand had changed its appearance.

[Fighting Stars Shift (Yubai)]

[Level] Extraordinary

[Type] Secret Method

[Features] Fighting Stars Shift (can directly manipulate various tangible and even intangible attacks), return the attack (the mastery level reaches above 'expert level', and the attack amplification can be transferred to the opponent's body and return the attack to the opponent)

[Description] Fighting Stars Shift Secret Method, obtained through "Turning Stone into Gold" enhancement.

[Note] The targets of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi's manipulation are limited to "Spiritual Skills, Secret Techniques". "Returning the favor" requires one's own comprehensive cultivation to be similar to that of the opponent. The power that can be increased depends on one's own understanding of the opponent's attack and the difference in strength between the two sides!
