Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

In the next period of time, Zhang He screened all the important personnel of his subordinates, and the result was good. No one has been possessed by the shadow demon so far.

Another point that Zhang He didn't expect was that he originally thought that he would encounter great resistance during the screening process, but he didn't expect things to go very smoothly.

In fact, the reason is not difficult to understand. The monks under him are very different from the traditional immortal cultivators of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There is almost no trust between traditional monks. Even father and son brothers will calculate each other for their own interests.

For example, the mess between Lu Bo's father and son brothers is the best proof.

But the immortal cultivators under Zhang He turned out to be the sons of tenant farmers who had nothing, and it was Zhang He who gave them everything.

These people trust Zhang He unconditionally, especially since there are a lot of idiots who graduated from the school.

Even if the rest of them have never been to school, they will gradually be affected after getting along with each other for a long time, and will subtly become Zhang He's admirers.

Among the many subordinates occupying important positions, only Gu Liangyu joined halfway, and started to work for Zhang He because of Zhang He's generous reward.

However, he only thought about it for a while, still gritted his teeth, and chose to let Zhang He check the primordial spirit.

Although he didn't fully trust Zhang He in his heart, he still felt a little repelled in his heart.

It's just that he knows very well that Zhang He's subordinates who are as stupid as fans will definitely agree to Zhang He's request.

At that time, among the top leaders of the entire force, he will be the only one who has not investigated the Yuanshen. He seems out of place, and if something happens, he may be suspected.

So he finally gritted his teeth and made a more rational decision to let Zhang He investigate the Yuanshen. Fortunately, Zhang He didn't do anything to his Yuanshen.

After screening all the high-level officials, Zhang He began to try to refine the Golden Condensation Pill.

He has already cultivated all kinds of materials needed for alchemy in the space, and now it only needs to be refined.

In order to refine the condensed gold elixir, he specially refined a high-grade alchemy furnace out of red copper, and then soaked it in a spiritual spring for a few days, raising the quality of the alchemy furnace to the highest level.

Zhang He's confidence in alchemy has greatly increased with the top-grade alchemy furnace in his hand and a lot of elixir, coupled with his rich experience in alchemy over the years.

But after he started refining, he realized how difficult it is to refine the Golden Congealing Pill.

A large pile of elixir was refined for more than ten furnaces, but in the end only two furnaces were made to obtain five condensed gold pills, which is a big loss.

However, although he paid a high price, he finally mastered the method of refining the condensed gold elixir, so the tuition is still worth it.

With the reserve of Ningjindan, Zhang He is also relieved. It is true that he is laying down the foundation now, but he has to be prepared.

In the following days, Zhang He practiced the nameless exercises and shadow magic secret arts every day.

All aspects of his body's quality are steadily increasing.

Now his magic power has already surpassed that of ordinary late-stage foundation-building monks, and his physical speed and strength have also been greatly improved.

Since he pretended to be a Shadow Demon,

There have never been large-scale monsters in the three counties under his jurisdiction.

Occasionally, some small-scale monsters appeared, and they were easily wiped out by the Black Water Army.

However, judging from the continuous news sent back from the Shadow Pavilion, the territory of the major forces is not peaceful, and there will be large groups of demons breaking out from time to time.

Taking advantage of the temporary peace, Zhang He tried his best to accumulate strength, including himself, the Black Water Army, and even the militia.

It's been like this for 30 years.

In the past 30 years, the human forces in Lu State have been harassed by demons, human monks have been killed in battle, spiritual fields have been destroyed, and many spiritual mines have fallen.

The people at the bottom are even more miserable. They are displaced and the population continues to decrease. It has reached the point where there are no chickens crowing for thousands of miles.

During this period, Liang Guo and Cheng Guo, which are adjacent to the east of Lu State, may be helping each other out of good intentions, or they may want to seize the opportunity to seize Lu State's territory.

In short, these two countries have sent troops, and with the new forces of these two countries entering Lu State, they did wipe out a large number of demons at the beginning.

However, before they could gain a firm foothold in Lu State, a large number of demons suddenly appeared in the land of Liang State and Cheng State, and the two countries had no choice but to hastily withdraw their troops.

Compared with the dire straits of people everywhere, the three counties under Zhang He's rule have become extremely prosperous after years of development and absorbing a large number of refugees. The total population has doubled to 600,000.

Of course, these 600,000 people are crowded in three counties, and with meager grain production, it is obviously impossible to feed so many people.

In order to alleviate the food problem, Zhang He could only grow sweet potatoes on a large scale in three counties.

As for the increased risk of leakage of sweet potato seedlings, Zhang He couldn't care less now. He couldn't watch hundreds of thousands of people starve to death just to keep the sweet potato seedlings.

He has also organized some precautions in various places. As for whether he can prevent the seedlings from leaking out, it is hard to say.

On this day, after Zhang He finished training, he felt the surging mana in his body. In terms of the total amount of mana alone, it should be about the same as the early stage of Golden Core.

But there is no golden core in his body, and the purity of mana is definitely not as good as that of a golden core monk.

As for the consciousness, he now believes that even at the later stage of Jindan, he is not as good as him. As for the consciousness of the Nascent Soul, it must not have arrived.

He now has a faint feeling that he is about to condense the golden core immediately. With his current solid foundation, he doesn't know what the golden core he will condense in the future will look like.

My lord, there is someone outside the door begging to see you!

A guard knocked on the door and came in to announce.

Who is it?

My son, he is a cultivator of the Ye family.

Oh! Invite him in.

Walking in was a Qi training cultivator of the Ye family, saluted Zhang He, handed Zhang He a jade slip with restrictions, and then left in a hurry.

According to the agreed method, Zhang He opened the restriction on the jade slip, and his spiritual sense penetrated into it. The content inside was very brief, that is, he asked Zhang He to go to the Ye Mansion to discuss important matters.

Over the years, the connection between Zhang He and Shadow Demon has never been broken, and the cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant.

Even Ye Kai considered that Zhang He was trapped in the human race alone, and if the matter was revealed, it would be a dangerous situation of life and death.

So Ye Kai also specially applied for three shadow demons, let them also possess the important figures of Zhang He's subordinates, and help Zhang He break out of the siege of the human race at critical moments.

For Ye Kai's kindness, Zhang He naturally wanted to express his gratitude.

Arrange these two shadow demons to seize Fat Tiger and Fugui respectively.

With Zhang He's help, the two Shadow Demons were reluctantly devoured by Fat Tiger and Fugui, and at the same time obtained the other's memory, posing as the two Shadow Demons.

From then on, the two of them could be regarded as their registered members among the monsters.

After Zhang He read the jade slips, he explained a few words to his subordinates, and flew towards Zhaoling County with his sword.

From the analysis of Ye Kai's tone, something big might happen this time.
