Immortal Creation
#536 - The truth about the game
Three Generals Camp.
The residence of military advisor Ning Zhuo.
In the simple reception hall, there were only Liu Er, Ning Zhuo and Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi took the seat of honor, and Ning Zhuo sat beside him.
"I pay my respects to Lord Zhao!" Liu Er stood in front of Zhao Xi and bowed.
He looked at Zhao Xi earnestly and sincerely thanked him for his help.
Zhao Xi looked at Liu Er, and his gaze paused at the dried blood at the corner of Liu Er's mouth.
Just now, Shuang Jing led the quartermaster to attack, and Liu Er blocked them with his body. He was injured and vomited blood, but he endured it and did not receive treatment.
Zhao Xi nodded slightly, stretched out his finger, and tapped Liu Er: "You are a sensible person, very good."
Therefore, Zhao Xi smiled and greeted Ning Zhuo with the attitude of an old friend.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Xi said jokingly, "To be honest, when I first met Young Master Ning, I never thought that you would become the son-in-law of General Mu's mansion and the husband of Mu Lan."
He stroked the handle of the wooden chair with his palm and sighed, "The changes in the world are really beyond our expectations and very mysterious!"
Ning Zhuo smiled, but his heart trembled slightly, knowing that the important point had been discussed.
Without any hesitation, he said, "Regarding this matter, I also took it upon myself to do it by chance."
"I believe that you, Lord Zhao, have a clear understanding of the situation at that time."
Zhao Xi immediately laughed, pointed his finger at Ning Zhuo's nose, and scolded him in a friendly tone: "I was also stunned when I heard it."
"No one achieved their goal, but you got the biggest benefit in the end."
"Your luck is really enviable. Tsk tsk tsk ..."
The smile on Ning Zhuo's face immediately disappeared, and he shook his head bitterly and said, "Sir, after this happened, I received a letter from the family, severely blaming and reprimanding me."
"To be honest, I am one of the most valued heirs in my clan, and I have the responsibility to marry into the royal family of Nandou Kingdom."
"Once this incident happened, the family was indeed in a passive position, and the relationship with the Southern Bean Kingdom also experienced major twists and turns."
"Because of my impulsive decision, the loss of my clan is much greater than outsiders imagine!"
Ning Zhuo said this with a heavy look on his face.
Zhao Xi raised his head slightly, and said in an inexplicable tone: "In this case, I would say that you and your family should just move directly from Nandou Country to Liangzhu Country."
Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Since you are the superior, I will speak frankly."
“That’s almost impossible!”
"Firstly, our clan has worked hard and paid a heavy price to finally gain a foothold in the Fire Persimmon Fairy City of Nandou Country, and has developed rapidly. If we move to Liangzhu Country, it would be like starting from scratch, and the cost is too high."
"Secondly, Liangzhu Country borders Beifeng Country. My tribe was forced to flee Beifeng Country back then. If we get too close to the hostile forces back then, it will not be good for our tribe or Liangzhu Country."
Ning Zhuo said this, stood up and clasped his fists to Zhao Xi.
His face was full of solemnity: "So, my engagement with General Mulan must be cancelled!"
"There are two main reasons why it is still maintained today."
"First, the fact has already been established, and my family has paid the price, so I am wondering if I can use this identity to do something to make up for the family's losses."
"Secondly, based on the current military situation, the Red Flower Camp is the best ally of my Three Generals Camp. I will definitely not cancel my engagement with General Mulan during this period. This will be very bad for all parties!"
"When the time is right, I will divorce General Mulan as agreed."
Zhao Xi seemed relaxed, but in fact his eyes were focused, staring at Ning Zhuo carefully, observing every change in Ning Zhuo's expression.
Zhao Xi only saw frankness and sincerity.
He and Liu Er both breathed a sigh of relief.
General Mu's Mansion is one of the few general's mansions in the two countries, and its status is high. Ning Zhuo's status as a son-in-law is equivalent to immediately entering the court of the two countries, and even a high-ranking one!
Naturally, people in the courts of the two countries were unwilling to see such a foreigner occupying such a position.
Ning Zhuo had known this for a long time.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he made his attitude and decision clear to all parties.
Zhao Xi came to the front camp this time with many secret missions, one of which was to investigate Ning Zhuo and try to determine his views on General Mu's mansion and his own intentions.
Ning Zhuo's answer made Liu Er happy and made Zhao Xi secretly satisfied.
In this way, Zhao Xi had the motivation to continue the conversation.
Zhao Xi smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Mr. Ning Zhuo, please sit down and talk first! You took the initiative to offer me the mechanical creation this time. You are very conscious, and this move will benefit the army. Whatever you want, I can make the decision here, and I will arrange it for you immediately."
Ning Zhuo also laughed and sat down again as he was told: "I have two main requests."
"The first is the National Strength Brick. After using this kind of treasure, I was deeply impressed. I can't stop using it."
Zhao Xi laughed: "Yes!"
Ning Zhuo continued, "The second thing is to see if there is anything that can speed up the practice."
He explained in detail: "I am currently in the second stage of the foundation-building period, which is the stage of precious medicine growth."
"The embarrassing thing is that even if I get new national strength bricks, it is difficult to improve my cultivation."
"So, I want to see if there are any special auxiliary items."
Zhao Xi heard this, and after a few breaths of silence, he said with understanding: "The exchange list provided by the Quartermaster Department contains a lot of things that can assist in cultivation. Among them, there must be treasures that are suitable for the precious medicine breeding stage."
"However, for Master Ning Zhuo, exchanging military merits for national power bricks is the most important thing."
"So, what Master Ning Zhuo really wants is a treasure with excellent effects. I believe Master Ning has already read the exchange list of the Quartermaster Department. The effects of the treasures on it are not as good as you are satisfied with."
Ning Zhuo immediately bowed and said, "Lord Zhao is wise. He saw through my thoughts at a glance."
"Military achievements are limited."
"Of course I would rather exchange it for national power bricks. After all, such good things are rare. Although there are many cultivation countries, there are very few cases of using national power bricks as rewards."
"You can say that if you miss this opportunity, you will never see it again."
"Unless there is a treasure that is so useful that I would rather spend some military merits to exchange for it and give up some national strength bricks."
"It's just that at the moment, I don't see this kind of treasure on the list."
Zhao Xi nodded and sighed, "Master Ning Zhuo, you are indeed from a wealthy family. This request is a bit extravagant."
Liu Er, who had been listening, nodded in agreement after hearing Zhao Xi's evaluation.
For most of the cultivators, there is no need to invest too much resources in the cultivation of the foundation-building stage. This is such a waste!
Because it is relatively easy to practice in the early stages of a cultivator's life, it is easy to improve one's cultivation level.
However, Ning Zhuo used rare treasures such as the National Strength Brick in the first stage of building the foundation. In the second stage, he also wanted to use some treasures that were not inferior to the National Strength Brick to speed up the practice.
Is this necessary?
Under normal circumstances, for the vast majority of monks, this is not necessary at all!
It is more cost-effective to save the resources for use in the later stages of practice.
Ning Zhuo was very young, only sixteen years old. Most young cultivators were still in the Qi Refining Stage. Even if there were geniuses who had advanced to the Foundation Building Stage, they would not deliberately seek these treasures simply to increase their cultivation. They would use them more for other purposes, such as comprehending the techniques, exchanging skills, etc.
Zhao Xi commented that Ning Zhuo's behavior was very extravagant and won Liu Er's heart.
Liu Er thought carefully and realized that he had worked hard and spent a lot of time during the foundation-building period, and spent most of the day practicing martial arts.
The resources Ning Zhuo was consuming at this time, some of which he would not be able to enjoy even if he was promoted to the Jindan stage!
Especially the national strength bricks.
Liu Er has never used any of this good stuff.
Before, he did receive such rewards for his military achievements, but he gave them all to Guan Hong to help the latter heal his wounds quickly.
While Liu Er was envious, he could only sigh that Ning Zhuo was worthy of being the son of a wealthy family.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Ning Zhuo explained to the two that this was the first time in his life that he participated in such a big battle. His thirst for cultivation had reached the peak of his life and he extremely hoped that he could become as strong as possible.
Therefore, he desperately hopes to have such an auxiliary treasure to help his cultivation level break through to another stage faster.
This explanation gave Liu Er and Zhao Xi more understanding of Ning Zhuo.
Zhao Xi recalled the intelligence and felt that Ning Zhuo's move was quite reasonable. After all, the latter's combat power was as high as the Golden Core level. At present, the biggest shortcoming was Ning Zhuo himself. Strengthening the weak points was actually a correct choice.
However, it was against common sense that Ning Zhuo would spend such a huge amount of money. While it was surprising, people were also envious in their hearts.
Zhao Xi pondered and said, "I think about it carefully. There is indeed such a treasure in the royal treasury of our country."
"At that time, an envoy from the Sanyang Kingdom visited the royal family and presented a precious talisman to them as a diplomatic gift."
"The name of the treasure talisman is the Three Yuans Intersection Treasure Talisman. The royal family of Sanyang Kingdom mainly practices the "Three Yang Tai Yuan Gong". It evolves the content of the scriptures, uses the black magnetic jade sand tempered by the three lights of the sun, moon and stars as ink, draws the talisman pattern on the thousand-year-old Yin-Yang Wutong leaves, and finally blends it with the powder ground from the dragon tendons to complete the task."
"This kind of talisman is of the same quality as a magic weapon and can be used repeatedly. Once it is consumed to a certain extent, you can still add materials to it and make it again, which can increase the number of uses."
"As everyone knows, the Three Yangs Tai Yuan Gong has the meaning of giving birth to all things, and it is the world's top treasure skill. At the early stage of the Spiritualization Stage, one can separate the Three Yangs into Spirits, which is extremely powerful. The precious medicine breeding stage is even easier for the Three Yangs Tai Yuan Gong."
"If Master Ning Zhuo can obtain this treasure, it would be equivalent to having certain cultivation advantages of the Three Yang Tai Yuan Gong during the foundation-building stage!"
Ning Zhuo couldn't help but be moved: "According to your opinion, can such national treasures also be exchanged for military merits?"
Zhao Xi laughed: "Of course the normal channels won't work, but don't you still have me?"
Ning Zhuo immediately understood, handed over a storage bag, and told Zhao Xi that after the matter was accomplished, there would be double the gift.
Zhao Xi took a quick look with his spiritual sense, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and he put the storage bag into his arms with ease.
The atmosphere in the room became more harmonious.
The three of them chatted for a while longer.
It was mainly the communication between Zhao Xi and Ning Zhuo, with Liu Er occasionally interrupting.
"It's getting late, and I have things to take care of."
Before leaving, Zhao Xi looked at Ning Zhuo and then at Liu Er: "You are all my people now. In the next period of time, you must make contributions. The more contributions you make, the more face I will have."
"Since you have all offered your mechanical creations, you are aware of this."
"Don't always stare at the things on the battlefield. Although there are some good treasures, can they compare with military exploits?"
"Especially those hills near our military camp, the strongholds of those forces, they are very successful."
Liu Er and Ning Zhuo immediately understood the implication.
Ning Zhuo asked, "After cleaning up the battlefield, shouldn't we go all out to attack Dragon King Giant Tree Mountain?"
Although the Dragon King Giant Tree Mountain was knocked down by the iron flow, the mountain was well preserved because of the divine light and divine magic, and it changed from a vertical state to a horizontal state. The damage on the Dragon King Giant Tree Mountain was limited, and there were a large number of Dragon King temples, and there were still many stubborn forces holding on here.
Zhao Xi shook his head: "Before Du Tiechuan went into seclusion to recuperate, he issued a military strategy - to control Dragon King Giant Wood Mountain but not attack it. I am just the military supervisor, I cannot change this military strategy, and I don't want to change it."
"So, after cleaning up the battlefield, each of your armies will spread out like flowers blooming everywhere, quickly attacking the surrounding strongholds."
Liu Er frowned, "Dragon King Giant Tree Mountain is the place that the Shenxu Dragon King Temple must save. Commander Du wants to attract the enemy here for the second major battle."
"No wonder he spent so much money to build such a solid camp here. Even now, there are still monks working on it."
Ning Zhuo added: "So, before the second major battle, the scope of our army's attacks is also limited."
"There aren't many targets around to attack."
Zhao Xi laughed: "You have all figured this out. I didn't say anything. That's it. I'm leaving now."
Ning Zhuo and Liu Er both stood up and followed Zhao Xi, respectfully seeing him off out of the camp.
When they were about to part, Zhao Xi sent a telepathic message to Ning Zhuo: "By the way, can you do a divination for the second battle?"
Ning Zhuo’s previous prophecy poem was very accurate, and Zhao Xi could not forget it.
Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly and said, "I can only predict the future when I feel something in my heart. At other times, I am completely powerless. I hope you can forgive me!"
"Forget it then." Zhao Xi rode on a tall horse and left.
While watching Zhao Xi's leaving back, Liu Er sent a message to Ning Zhuo through his spiritual sense, thanking him for introducing Zhao Xi to him this time.
Ning Zhuo responded secretly: "It was also a coincidence. Zhao Xi wanted to gain military merit, so he took the risk and came to the front camp."
"He has just arrived and he must establish his authority. As the saying goes, a new official starts with three things."
"Our business just meets his needs, so we reached a cooperation agreement."
Liu Er sighed: "That being said, without the relationship of the military advisor and the mechanical creation, how could such a result be achieved?"
With the close relationship with Zhao Xi, Liu Er, an outsider, also had a foothold in the courts of the two countries.
This is a very significant breakthrough!
Liu Er had been taught by his master since he was a child and had outstanding political talent, which made him understand that he was the biggest beneficiary in this matter.
So, he returned the favor and immediately promised Ning Zhuo: "Military Advisor, no matter how much military merit the Three Yuans Exchange Treasure Talisman is worth, I am willing to give my own military merit to you, Military Advisor. If it is not enough, I will come forward again and persuade the two brothers, and I will definitely do my best to let you get what you want!"
Ning Zhuo smiled and did not refuse. He just responded with one word: "Okay."
At present, the results of cleaning up the battlefield have been converted into military merits and attributed to Liu Er alone.
After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the Three Generals Camp.
Ning Zhuo didn't want to do anything that would attract attention and make others jealous.
According to the agreement between Ning Zhuo and the three generals, 30% of this military achievement will belong to him.
However, in order to push Liu Er to the top of the list, there is no distribution among them for the time being.
Being at the top of the list would greatly increase the reputation of the three general camps, making it easier to gather the remaining troops later.
This is another level of consideration.
