i have a mythical tree

As the name suggests, the strength of the secret axis of Xingluo lies in his powerful ability to gather spiritual essence, the boundless wilderness is filled with spiritual essence, even the area with the thinnest spiritual essence is enough for ordinary monks to practice.

These spiritual essences are scattered between heaven and earth, mixed in the sun, stars, ancient trees, mountains, rocks, vegetation... and other objects. Ordinary exercises can only gather a large number of spiritual essences that are scattered between heaven and earth. ,More than that.

Wherever there is spiritual energy, as long as you are inspired by the secret axis of Xingluo, you will gather here. The efficiency of gathering spiritual energy is more than twice as powerful as that of ordinary exercises!

Ji Xia studied the secret scroll of Xingluo until the second half of the night, after making sure that every step and every word was foolproof, she finally took a long breath and put the jade slip aside.

He sat on his knees, his five hearts turned to the sky, and the method of the secret axis of Xingluo slowly revolved.

Gradually, he felt as if he was in nothingness. There were scattered blue rays of light floating around. The first layer of the secret axis of Star Luo was running. These scattered blue rays of light slowly came towards Ji Xia.

The blue light entered Ji Xia's body and condensed on the top of his abdomen. At this time, the secret axis of Xingluo refined these spiritual essences. The spiritual essences were slowly refined, and then fell to build a hill.

"This is the prototype of my Daxue Mountain."

Ji Xia said silently to himself: "But at such a slow speed, it will take a long time to open up the Daxue Mountain and break through the first heaven."

He thought about it, and a small rune appeared in his palm. This rune was only the size of a fingernail, like two small crescent moons entangled, gently beating in Ji Xia's hands.

Chapter 20 Court Assembly

This rune, the spirit-gathering rune officially produced in the Immortal Tree of God, can accelerate the speed of spirit energy gathering, and greatly speed up the speed of practice.

Ji Xia looked at the rune for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his hand and attached the rune to his neck. The rune touched Ji Xia's neck, jumped slightly, and disappeared into the flesh.

On his neck, there was a tiny black rune, which looked mysterious and inexplicable, but Ji Xia felt a deeper and more delicate connection between himself and the rune.

He ran the first layer of the secret axis of Xingluo again, and once again felt the surrounding spirit essence wandering around the heaven and earth, and then he was slowly attracted and gathered by him.

"Even if it is such a precious exercise as the Star Luo Secret Axis, the speed of gathering spiritual energy is far inferior to the speed of refining. The speed of refining spiritual energy with the secret axis is at least dozens of times faster than the speed of gathering spiritual energy."

Ji Xia thought to himself: "Then try how much faster the gathering of spirits can be accelerated by the gathering rune."

When his mind moved, the spirit gathering rune was instantly triggered, Ji Xia felt that the surrounding spirit energy was much richer, and then...

Then the surrounding spirits rushed towards Ji Xia!A large amount of spiritual energy rushed in like opening a valve, pouring into Ji Xia's body!

Ji Xia frantically ran the first floor of the Xingluo Secret Scroll, refining the spirit energy poured from it. The most terrifying thing was that the refining speed of the Xingluo Secret Axis could not keep up with the speed of the influx of spirit energy!

This is undoubtedly an extremely rare thing. The speed of gathering spirits is much slower than the speed of refining spirit essences, and the difference is more than ten times. But now, even though Ji Xia tried his best to activate the secret axis of Xingluo, he still couldn't digest all these spirit essences.

"It's invincible, the products of the divine tree are really rare and powerful!"

While exhilarating and admiring, he tried his best to refine the spirit essence. After refining, the spirit essence slowly fell and opened up the Daxue Mountain.

After one night, until the sun was shining brightly, Ji Xia felt that his Daxue Mountain had been opened up, and the Daxue Mountain had been able to hold a lot of spiritual energy, which made him extremely happy.

Daxueshan finally succeeded in opening up, which means that he has become a real cultivator. Although the cultivation realm is not at the first level, it still makes Ji Xia inexplicably excited.

"In just one night, I successfully opened up the Daxue Mountain and entered the path of cultivation. Does it mean that as long as I practice hard, sooner or later, I will be able to fade away from the mundane and gain magical powers."

He couldn't help but rejoice at the thought of this, and his smile froze in a blink of an eye.

"My cultivation base is still shallow now, and the spiritual essence condensed by the spirit gathering rune is already massive for me. But as my cultivation base increases, the more spiritual essence I need, the benefit of the spirit gathering rune will gradually weaken."

"In addition to the speed of gathering spiritual energy, cultivation also requires many talents. For example, when the sixth-level heaven breaks through the seventh-level heaven, all cultivators have to encounter earth obstacles. When the nine-level heaven breaks through supernatural powers, there are also natural obstacles, and they can only rely on their understanding to participate. break."

He counted the obstacles that he might encounter on the road of cultivation one by one, causing his ecstatic heart to gradually cool down.

Slowly standing up, Ji Xia Daxueshan moved, and a stream of spiritual essence poured out from the snowy mountain, covering his right hand.

"First-layer cultivators can store them at any time. The amount of spiritual energy they use is still too small, and their power is not strong. When I cultivate to the sixth-layer in a step-by-step manner, the amount of spiritual energy that can be invoked will be extremely impressive."

"The king, the morning time has come, and the officials are waiting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony." A guard came to report.

Ji Xia nodded, and another palace maid came to wash and change his clothes. Although Taicang Kingdom was very small, it did not lack any etiquette.

Above the court hall, the officials were lined up neatly. Ji Xia sat at the top and listened quietly to the officials below.

"Nanqing Street became dilapidated because of the supernatural power battle yesterday. Many houses collapsed and roads were destroyed. Although the people have spontaneously repaired it, the effect was not good. Should the Craftsman House send craftsmen to repair it?"

"As soon as the announcement is made, the affected households also need to be compensated, and each household should be compensated for the [-]-day quota of food."

"Lord, in the third harvest this year, the grain production in the fields decreased by [-]%. The reason is being investigated by Dr. Nong."

"Wait until Dr. Nong finds out the reason."

"In the dense forest of Nanjin, a fierce beast ran out and broke into Nancheng, causing many casualties. General Ronglu and Zuo Kun led the team to kill the beast. However, General Zuo Kun was accidentally whipped by the tail of the giant beast. He was hit and seriously injured."

"Bring some meat for me, go to care for General Zuo Kun, and let him have a good life and self-cultivation. I am too old to die, anyone can die, but they can't die for the sergeants who are fighting for the country."

Under the throne, Lu Yu and Zhao Qu looked at each other with surprise, surprise, and more comfort in their eyes.

I thought that even if His Royal Highness the Prince was no longer stubborn, he would have to learn to adapt to the throne of the country for a while, but he did not expect that today's court meeting would give them a big surprise. .

After a long time, the court performance was finally over. Ji Qianqing came out and said, "The lord of the country, the spies are here to report that the Jiu Dog Country and the Crocodile Horn Country have suspended all wars, and we will meet and talk shortly."

Ji Xia was not surprised: "The dove dog has been silent for a long time. Naturally, it cannot be silent forever, but don't be too nervous. There will be no results in the short-term negotiations between the two countries. Do you generals have any suggestions?"

"The lord of the state, Zhou Qing is stationed at Cangqing Mountain, and the other troops are still mining red flame stones for Dafu. They should not attack Cangcheng in a big way. It is better to order the Cangcheng Cang defenders to rush to Taicheng in order to deal with the upcoming dove-dog attack. ." General Ronglu stepped out and said with a bow.

Ji Xia thought about it for a while, but before she could speak, Ji Qianqing said, "You can stay behind with 3000 troops in Cangcheng, and the other 3000 Cang defenders will support Taicheng, otherwise, once Zhou Qingguo knows that Cangcheng is empty, they will definitely attack."

Ji Xia nodded: "Order Cangcheng City Lord to personally lead 3000 troops to Taicheng to stand by, Cangqing Mountain is too close to Cangcheng, if you don't leave the defenders, Cangcheng will be a bargain, and no reason can stop Zhou Qingguo from invading, The soldiers of Zhou Qing stationed in Cangqing Mountain will be able to enter Cangcheng in less than an hour, and there is no resistance in the city, and we don’t even have time to support.”

Many state affairs that were delayed due to a series of events, such as the collapse of the king, the attack of the dove and the dog, and the succession of the new king, needed to be resolved urgently.

Ji Xia got up from the throne and asked, "How to solve the drinking water of the Cang Shou Army?"

"All military units draw water from the Haixiu River nearby." Ji Qianqing replied.

"I urgently summoned the craftsmen from all over the country and ordered them to build a reservoir near the Cang Shou army camp within three days, which can meet the daily drinking water consumption of [-] people.

When Lu Shangyin heard such a strange decree, he couldn't help but ask: "The lord, what is this going to do? The military camp is on the banks of the Haixiu River. It is very convenient for soldiers to get water, so there is no need to waste manpower and material resources."

Ji Xia smiled mysteriously: "You will know then."

Chapter 21 The Taichang Kingdom

Although Taicang City is called a city, the city walls are low and the city is more than [-] miles long.

Strictly speaking, the people do not have their own arable land, all arable land is owned by the state, and all the food produced is distributed by the royal court. The people are self-sufficient.

In Taicang City, the source of water supply is a river called Haixiu. The source of this Haixiu River is the Neuchong River north of Taicang. Haixiu is a tributary of the Neuchong River and flows through Taicang. Therefore, the Yichang Kingdom and Pubi Kingdom who once lived on this land established cities on the Haixiu River, and Taicang a few hundred years later was no exception.

Tai Cang even incorporated a branch of the Haixiu River into the two cities of Tai and Cang when the city was built, so that hundreds of thousands of Tai Cang people could drink water more conveniently.

It is a pity that there are often terrifying river beasts entrenched in the Neuchong River, so that their tributaries do not have any weak fish resources, which is a pity.
