Immortal Creation

The messenger came to the military camp of the third general's camp.

The incense table has been set up.

Liu Er, Guan Hong, and Zhang Hei knelt on the ground. As a foreigner, Ning Zhuo only had to stand and bow.

The messenger took out the imperial edict, unfolded it, and read it loudly——

The king of Fengdi carries the edict:

The three generals Liu Er, Guan Hong, and Zhang Hei were extremely brave and loyal in defending the country. In the recent ambush battle, you fought with all your strength to resist the enemy. You used your golden elixir cultivation to capture Yuanying monk Ma Feiji alive. You eliminated a major hidden danger for our two countries and made great military achievements.

You are the pillars of the country who are brave and fearless in times of crisis. We hereby give special orders to promote the official positions of three of you generals from "guerrilla generals" to "capture generals" as encouragement and to reward them with ten pieces of national power.

The military advisor Ning Zhuo, although he was from another country, had a right heart and fought bravely without fear of hardship. Before the war, he also presented prophetic poems to our army, with precise words and predictions of the war situation. He also assisted the army in ambush battles, repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and killed countless enemies. Such ambitions should be rewarded. Specially grant four pieces of national strength as encouragement!

May you all remember this honor, live up to expectations, continue to fight bravely against the enemy, and defend our national prestige.

Admire this.

The three generals said in succession: "I thank you!"

Ning Zhuo also echoed.

"The envoy has been traveling all the way from the royal capital. It's really hard work. Please come here." After receiving the order, Liu Er entertained the envoy with a smile on his face.

When the banquet was about to end, Ning Zhuo came to the envoy and gave him many spiritual stones: "The military camp is simple and the reception is not good. Please don't blame the envoy."

The messenger smiled and took the spirit stone storage bag very skillfully. Soon after, he was sent off by the three generals and Ning Zhuo, and left the camp of the three generals and returned to the royal capital to resume his duties.

late at night.

Ning Zhuo was in the camp, carefully looking at the national strength bricks.

The monks form a cultivation country, and the upper echelons of the country will gather national power and create bricks of national power.

The two countries were founded by virtue of water, so the national power tiles appear black.

The lights in the tent reflect on the national bricks, and subtle ripples are faintly visible, like undercurrents in the deep sea. This is a sign of water virtue.

Ning Zhuo rubbed the Guoli brick with his palm. The surface of the brick was cold, but not as biting as ice.

This was Ning Zhuo's first time coming into contact with the National Power Brick. He had only read about it many times in books before.

Ning Zhuo stimulated his spiritual consciousness and instilled it into the bricks of national strength.

There was a wave of movement from the National Power Brick, covering Ning Zhuo's body, and he immediately sensed the military advisor's seal in Ning Zhuo's arms.

As if the lock had a key, the door slowly opened, and a trace of national power flowed out from the national power brick.

The national power was mobilized by Ning Zhuo's spiritual consciousness, and he first entered the Dantian of Shenhai.

Mirror Channeling Technique!

As Ning Zhuo took the initiative to practice, he went to Dantian, and the national power turned into a magnificent light, radiating in all directions.

Under the radiance, countless mirror thoughts sprouted, and the efficiency was extremely high.

Ning Zhuo mobilized this trace of national power into the sea of ​​qi in Dantian.

Five Elements Qi Rhythm Technique!

The infusion of national power was transformed into a large amount of Dharma Qi cultivation almost instantly.

Demon-stained blood muscle skill!

Similarly, in the Lower Dantian, the national power is transformed into blood tendons, causing the blood tendons to directly thicken the earth by three feet.

"Wonderful, wonderful." Ning Zhuo suddenly felt that his three Dantians were swollen, and his whole body was filled with a powerful force.

This power is gentle, deep and tolerant.

Ning Zhuo stopped after a brief taste and slowly opened his eyes, his face full of surprise.

Because in such a short span of a dozen breaths, his cultivation level has increased by a small amount, which is equivalent to a month of normal cultivation!

"With the help of national power to practice, if you receive direct initiation, there is no need to practice hard!"

"What's more important is that national power does not have the characteristics of the five elements and can transform all the magic power in the world."

"No wonder in ancient times, many monks risked their lives to help the Dragon Court."

In terms of military exploits in ambush battles, Ning Zhuo's achievements were far inferior to those of Liu, Guan, and Zhang. Although his prophecies and poems were very accurate, they only had a positive impact on the Three Generals Camp and the Honghua Camp.

Ning Zhuo's military exploits were largely attributed to Liu Guanzhang.

If it were not for the three generals to capture Ma Feijiao alive, Ning Zhuo's military exploits would not have been shared so much.

Among them, there is also the reason why Liu Er deliberately emphasized the description of Ning Zhuo's achievements when reporting.

Regarding these military achievements, Ning Zhuo did not hesitate and chose the national strength brick.

"If I were faced with such a choice before the ambush battle, I might still hesitate. But after experiencing the battlefield personally, national power bricks will be my must-have, first-choice, or even only choice for a long time!"

The ambush battle had a huge impact on Ning Zhuo.

At that moment, even though he was deep in the military formation, facing the flying horse's carbine, he was almost defeated and killed!

At the moment when life and death were decided, Ning Zhuo didn't even have time to react.

Afterwards, he used directional escape to reunite with Sun Lingtong and went all out to grab the loot without having time to look back.

It wasn't until the whole army set off and rushed back to Canglin Immortal City that Ning Zhuo gradually realized it and felt scared.

"Cultivation!"

"Cultivation is the biggest cornerstone of everything!"

"Although my Five Elements realm is profound, without the support of my cultivation, it is like a pearl cast in the dark."

"Building foundation...weak!"

"Golden elixir... is still weak!"

"Nascent Soul... is still weak!!"

This battle greatly expanded Ning Zhuo's knowledge.

This is the result of traveling thousands of miles and traveling in all directions.

Of course, Ning Zhuo had known about the cultivation levels of Jindan and Yuanying a long time ago. He had read it countless times in various classics.

However, many life feelings must be experienced personally to truly appreciate their weight!

What I have learned on paper is ultimately shallow, and I know that I have to do it in detail.

As a foundation-building level person, even if there are countless comrades around him, they will be killed instantly.

Those Jindan-level Qianfenglin monks were killed by Liu Guan and Zhang Sanjiang one after another, like butchering pigs and dogs!

A Nascent Soul-level monk as strong as Master Long was almost burned to death in the end.

These are facts that Ning Zhuo witnessed with his own eyes, and these facts completely inspired the fire in his heart.

"Foundation building... is not enough!"

"Golden elixir... is not enough!"

"Nascent Soul...it's still not enough!!"

"I want to climb up, keep climbing up, and accumulate cultivation with all my strength."

"I want to become a powerful monk, and I want to take control of my own life!"

The moment he was almost killed, Ning Zhuo didn't even have the ability to react. He no longer wanted to experience such sorrow.

However, how easy is it to accumulate cultivation?

With Sun Lingtong's talent and understanding, he is still in the foundation-building stage of his cultivation.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's just that this is normal.

A few decades of practice in the foundation-building period is considered a small amount, and the normal time is about a hundred years. Therefore, when many monks reach the end of their lifespan, they are unable to break through the bottleneck and advance to the golden elixir stage, whereupon they die of old age.

Sun Lingtong's speed was actually very fast.

Ning Zhuo was only sixteen years old. He was promoted to the early stage of foundation building. He practiced three techniques at the same time, and these three techniques were among the best in the world.

To practice one discipline alone requires you to accumulate more spiritual power than ordinary people and consume more time and energy.

Ning Zhuo needs to multiply this by three!

Therefore, Sun Lingtong expected that Ning Zhuo's cultivation would be slow and would take a long time.

Once upon a time, Sun Lingtong also persuaded Ning Zhuo not to be anxious.

Things in this world are never entirely good or bad.

Cultivation is slow, takes too long, and requires too much investment. This is the huge price of practicing top skills!

Ning Zhuo didn't want to follow the steps.

He is now traveling around the world, traveling all over the world and taking risks in order to save his mother. He has a strong need for cultivation and wishes he could become a monk in the Mahayana stage in the next moment.

Therefore, he has been actively looking for ways to speed up his practice.

Thanks to this splendid and glorious age of cultivation!

In this world, there are indeed many shortcuts to accumulation of cultivation.

The most common ones are to adopt higher-quality exercises, spiritual stones, elixirs, magic weapons, etc., followed by dual cultivation, initiation, swallowing and transforming other people's magic power, etc.

National strength is similar to initiation.

Using national power can directly increase the monk's cultivation level in a very short period of time. Instead of using spiritual stones, elixirs, etc. to increase the efficiency of cultivation, to quickly improve one's cultivation level.

The latter is equivalent to trees growing, only faster than before. The former is to directly move a piece of tree trunk and graft it directly with your own tree.

"I have four national power bricks on hand. How can they help my cultivation reach what level?"

Ning Zhuo's thoughts were overflowing, but he stopped extracting national power and used normal means to practice.

This moment caused a huge gap in his heart.

"Slow down, normal practice is so slow!"

"My current situation and the speed of my practice are really unbearable for me."

The next day.

Shuang Jing went to Canglin Fairy City to entertain Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo went to the banquet on time.

Shuangjing returned to his usual demeanor as a high-ranking disciple, wearing a green robe, elegant and calm.

Ning Zhuo bowed his hands.

Shuangjing sat in her position and did not get up. Instead, she stretched out her hand to indicate that she should sit opposite her.

"This Little Bird House is the most famous restaurant in the entire Canglin Fairy City."

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

"What their family is best at doing is feasting with ten birds in all shapes and forms."

"The top floor has been booked by me, and I have specially ordered the chef to prepare this feast of ten birds and one heart. Commander Ning might as well try it out."

Shuangjing smiled and introduced Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo naturally responded politely.

The first spiritual food served was called Yinbo Spiritual Energy Soup.

The soup is translucent, with a faint silvery light on the surface and a fresh aroma. It contains bird meat and is light white in color as the main ingredient. There are also accessories such as ginkgo, tremella, snow pear, wolfberry, and fish maw.

Ning Zhuo first took a spoon and took a small sip. The soup was light and warm, with a natural fruity and medicinal flavor, and a hint of sweetness in the coldness.

I took another bite of the bird meat, which melted in my mouth and had a unique taste.

Ning Zhuo was enjoying the delicious food reflected in his clear eyes. He carefully observed every move of Ning Zhuo and thought to himself: "The Ning family is indeed a rich family."

The Ning family once produced monks at the level of Nascent Soul, and they migrated from the North Wind Country to the South Dou Country, so the family heritage is still there.

In the eyes of a true high-ranking disciple, this kind of background can be clearly seen from the smallest details.

Although Ning Zhuo had lost his parents since he was a child, he was taught the etiquette of life by his uncle and aunt. In the school, there are also dedicated elders who teach students daily behavioral norms, covering aspects such as living, sitting, and lying down.

When Ning Zhuo grew up, he read many books and trained on his own, which improved his education in this area. The purpose is to deal with some noble monks and gain favor.

Shuang Jing saw Ning Zhuo's simple and elegant eating movements, which seemed slow but were actually fast, and he felt much more comfortable in his heart. He also had an appetite and began to taste his spiritual soup.

Ning Zhuo drank a little of this spiritual soup and stopped eating.

Shuang Jing said: "Military Advisor Ning, do you know what the main ingredient of this spiritual food is?"

Ning Zhuo said: "It should be the perching bird."

Shuang Jing said: "There are many kinds of perching birds, which one is it exactly?"

Ning Zhuo said: "I see that this soup is silver and has the taste of ginkgo. The most likely one is the silver-feathered perching bird."

Shuang Jing smiled: "Military Advisor Ning is indeed outstanding in strategy, and his guess is not wrong."

After saying this, he stopped talking.

Ning Zhuo was a little surprised, because Shuang Jing had invited him before, his attitude was warm and enthusiastic, and this invitation was obviously to get close to him, but after the banquet, he began to pick it up.

It seemed that there was no external threat. After wearing brocade clothes, Shuang Jing returned to the role of a noble family child.

The second meal was served on the round table.

This was a roasted dish.

A flower was in full bloom, and a roasted chicken was placed in the flower.

Ning Zhuo identified it and found that it was not a roasted chicken, but a roasted bird.

The surface of the bird was coated with honey, and decorated with cherries and cherry blossoms, which was quite romantic.

Ning Zhuo picked up his chopsticks and tasted a piece of bird meat, and his eyes lit up slightly.

The bird meat was sweet and crisp, with a unique taste, which reminded people of spring, spring breeze, cherry blossoms, and rain.

Shuang Jing waited until Ning Zhuo stopped eating, and then asked what the main ingredient was.

Ning Zhuo replied: "It should be a bird perched on a branch, and it is a cherry blossom in love with the branch."

Shuang Jing nodded and smiled without saying anything.

Ning Zhuo's heart moved, and he realized Shuang Jing's intention, but he did not reveal it.

When the third spiritual food was served, it was a "medicated chicken" shape.

Ning Zhuo used his magic power to cut the belly of the "medicinal chicken", and immediately let the purple rice and purple sweet potato inside the "chicken belly" leak out.

After tasting it, Ning Zhuo couldn't help but nod slightly.

The sweetness of the purple rice and the delicate purple sweet potato blended together with the tenderness of the chicken, the taste was deep, which made his mind peaceful, and his thoughts in the Dantian on the sea of ​​​​mind were empty and clear.

This time, without waiting for Shuang Jing to answer, Ning Zhuo took the initiative to say: "This must be the purple wisdom bird perched on the branch."

Shuang Jing saw Ning Zhuo smiling and his eyes showed deep meaning, knowing that the time had come, and finally threw out the carefully prepared words.

"The perching bird has a long and thin beak, which it inserts into the tree trunk to absorb tree sap for a living."

"When they want to reproduce, they will insert their beaks into the deepest part of the tree trunk and inject their own life essence into the tree trunk."

"The same perching bird will grow up differently if it chooses different trees."

"The silver-feathered perching bird is bred in the ginkgo tree. When it flies, its wings are shining, it is very fast, and its bird sings crisply."

"The cherry blossom tree cultivates the cherry blossom perching bird, which is pale pink, light, and sings softly with a hint of sadness."

"The purple wisdom perching bird grows in the red sandalwood tree. The bird's feathers are deep purple, it can understand human language, and it is the smartest."

Say At this point, Shuang Jing paused: "What kind of tree species often breeds what kind of branch-roosting birds."

"It can be seen how important the growth environment is to a bird or a person!"

"Military Advisor Ning is a young talent from a prominent family. To be honest, I don't quite understand how Military Advisor Ning joined the Three Generals Camp?"

"You are like a talented person and a beautiful jade, but what is the Three Generals Camp? It's a crooked tree that can't be named."

Ning Zhuo smiled and shook his head: "Does Lord Shuang want to persuade me to leave the Three Generals Camp and join the White Jade Camp?"

Before coming, Ning Zhuo had discussed Shuang Jing's intentions with Sun Lingtong and sensed Shuang Jing's intention to recruit.

But Shuang Jing shook his head: "My White Jade Camp was crippled and needs to be rebuilt. This time, the reconstruction will no longer have the support it had before."

"How can I show my sincerity by inviting Military Advisor Ning with such an army?"

Outside the window.

The sky is clear and the sun is emitting heat.

A flock of birds perched on the ginkgo branches fell from the blue sky, their wings drawing bright silver light in the air.

They swooped down at a very fast speed, and almost "crashed" into the dense canopy of a big tree in a suicidal posture.

The birds chirped, and the flapping sound, wind sound, and rustling sound of leaves intertwined into a strong sound wave, drowning out the conversation of the two people in the window.

After Shuang Jing opened his mouth and said something, he looked at Ning Zhuo with a strong look of expectation.

Ning Zhuo slightly widened his eyes, and a look of surprise condensed between his eyebrows.

He glanced out the window and took a look at the noisy flock of birds perched on the ginkgo branches. In this short time, he had already thought about a lot of things.

When he turned to face Shuang Jing, his face had returned to indifference: "Retainer?"

Shuang Jing nodded: "Becoming my retainer, this is my sincerity!"

"You should know the weight of my surname, right?"

Ning Zhuo nodded.

Of course he knew.

Shuang is the surname of the king of Liangzhu country!

Shuang Jing took out a jade slip and handed it to Ning Zhuo slowly: "Here is the salary after becoming a retainer."

"I know you used your military merits to ask for four national power rewards."

"If you become my retainer, your status will be countless levels higher than your current military advisor and chief wine!"

"When absorbing national power, there is nearly three times the efficiency."

"From this point alone, it is equivalent to suddenly magnifying your military merits by three times. The meaning here is too great, isn't it?"

Ning Zhuo had a solemn expression on his face.

He infused the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness, and his heart was throbbing.

The conditions proposed by Shuang Jing were very generous, and they did not even prohibit Ning Zhuo's freedom.

As long as Ning Zhuo wanted to leave and did not want to be a retainer, he could get rid of this identity at any time!

So, do you want to become a retainer of one of the high-ranking officials of the two states?
