BXBX NOVEL Chapter 824: retreat
Now, as long as there are some relatively large cities for cultivating immortals, they all have a school, and there are as few as two or three thousand students, as many as seven or eight thousand, or even tens of thousands.
Including the previous ones, there are a total of more than a thousand schools and a total of millions of students. Everyone's training expenses are provided by the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom for free.
Adding the daily expenses of the three million troops, this is already an extremely huge expenditure.
In the past, there were many sects on the Fengwu Continent, and no sect had ever reached the scale of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.
Including the Tiannu Palace, the first sect in the Fengwu Continent, they are only the largest and can have certain restrictions on other sects.
Even if they are affiliated sects, they do not completely belong to Tiannv Palace. These affiliated sects have their own sect inheritance, their own sect power and property, which can be used to train their own disciples.
Now the Fengwu Continent is taken over by the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, and all the previous forces have been wiped out by the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.
At that time, only a very small number of people in the sect actually spent resources to cultivate them.
Most of the bottom-level disciples can only get very few resources in the sect, and they need to earn the materials needed for training.
In fact, most sect forces follow this model, so that only a small amount of resources are needed to cultivate a large number of disciples.
For example, in the Qingxu Sect where Wang Hong used to be, at that time, an outer disciple could receive three to five low-grade spirit stones every month.
As for the magic tools used by low-level monks, the cheap ones require hundreds of spirit stones. As for the higher-quality magic tools, the price is as high as several thousand, which is not affordable by ordinary disciples.
The system of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom is completely different now. For those recruited into the army or schools, the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom provides all kinds of training materials for free.
Although this makes the army and officials at all levels more loyal to the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom and more effective in combat.
But the materials needed to be consumed have increased by hundreds or even thousands of times.
In the past few years, it has been used to change the army's costumes and open schools, and the spoils obtained from the previous defeat of the Tiannv Palace coalition forces have been consumed.
In the past, the Ministry of Industry, which earned the most spirit stones for the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, is now busy refining weapons and equipment for the army, and has no time to take care of refining other items. It is temporarily unable to create more wealth for the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.
Industries such as spiritual mines and spiritual fields in various places were severely damaged by the remnants of the Tiannvgong coalition forces. Now they have taken over, and there is no gain in a short period of time.
After learning about the current financial situation of Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, Wang Hong thought for a while and left Fengwu Continent alone.
He went directly to the Central Continent through the teleportation array this time, and found the Elder Lingyuan at Xuanyuan Immortal Palace.
Without further ado, Wang Hong took out a bottle of spiritual wine from the space.
This bottle of spirit wine was hung on the bonsai tree in Xianshan before.
At that time, there was no place to put them on the fairy mountain, so he hung many of them on bonsai trees. After these years of aging, these spirit wines absorbed a lot of fairy spirit.
Elder Lingyuan took Wang Hong's jade bottle, opened the bottle cap and only took a sip, his face was full of intoxication.
"Fellow Daoist Wang! Is this a bottle of fairy wine?"
Bai Lingzi's hand holding the wine bottle couldn't help tightening up a bit.
"Of course, this is what I obtained in the secret realm. Now I plan to sell this bottle of immortal wine. I wonder if the two fellow daoists are interested?" Wang Hong could think that the most suitable buyers should be these two people.
Although everyone wants this kind of treasure, they may not be able to afford the corresponding price.
Only the two elders of Lingyuan are high enough and powerful enough to be able to afford the price.
"I don't know how you want to trade with Wang Daoyou?"
Bai Lingzi asked quickly.
"I need to trade various spiritual objects, here is the list." Wang Hong said and handed over a jade slip, which recorded various materials he needed.
Bai Lingzi reached out to take it, checked it, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the types and quantities recorded here are extremely large, none of the grades are particularly high, and they are all spiritual creatures below the fourth grade.
"Wang Daoyou needs a wide variety of items and a huge quantity. It will take some time to mobilize these materials. I hope Wang Daoyou can wait for a few days."
"no problem."
Next, Wang Hong lived in Xuanyuan Immortal Palace, and waited for a month before the two elders of Lingyuan prepared all the supplies.
The two parties made a deal face to face, and Wang Hong returned to the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.
Throw the traded items to Xu Lun. The items exchanged for a bottle of immortal wine should be enough for Da Chu Immortal Kingdom to use for several years.
After solving the financial problems of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, Wang Hongcai returned to the palace and prepared to practice in seclusion.
In a secret room in the palace, Wang Hong only had time to count the treasures he had harvested in the secret realm.
First of all, there are the corpses of two Void Refining Powerhouses. Both of them died from the white tiger in the painting, without any wounds on their bodies.
The monster monster is a huge black bear. Wang Hong looked around twice, and first cut off the four huge bear paws.
Each of these four bear paws is as big as a large washbasin, and the bear paws are thick, and the gluttons can't help but move.
"I've never eaten a bear's paw in the Void Refining Realm, so I don't know what it tastes like."
Wang Hong quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the last time he slaughtered a deer demon in the Void Refining Realm of the monster race, and he still hasn't forgotten the feeling.
Thinking of this, he speeded up and organized these items.
Peel off the bear skin, take out the demon pill, and bear bile is also a good medicine for alchemy, and sort and organize the various materials.
Then he disassembled the demon, and at the heart of the demon, there was a black crystal the size of a fist, emitting powerful waves of magic power.
Magic crystals can be used to arrange arrays, and can also be used to refine some special magic weapons. Anyway, they are infinitely useful.
Then there are magic treasures stored on the two of them. They carry quite a lot of treasures with them, such as pills, spirit stones, and magic weapons.
The value of these treasures can at least exchange him for several bottles of immortal wine, which made Wang Hong lament over and over again that those who are strong in refining the void are rich.
Then the mind entered the space and counted the wine bottles hanging on the bonsai tree, creating an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Then he classified the various treasures he harvested in the secret realm. Among them, the most various types of spiritual herbs were transplanted into the space by him.
It's a pity that this time I didn't harvest any treasures such as fairy grass or fairy fruit.
However, in the palace complex, a lot of building materials were pulled out, which should be good for refining weapons, and they can be thrown to Chen Xiaofeng later to see if he can come up with something good.
After quickly dealing with these things, Wang Hong stared at the four huge bear paws in front of him again.
Take out a bear's paw from inside, set up a big fire, put it on it to burn, the hair on the bear's paw was ignited, and it was burnt very quickly.
Scrape off the scorched part with a knife and burn it several times. The skin on the bear paw has turned golden yellow and exudes a burnt aroma.
After cleaning, draw a flower knife, and marinate with several ingredients from the space.
Wang Hong thought about it, and planned to spend a little extravagantly. Then he took out a bottle of immortal wine from the fairy mountain in the space, poured a small cup and poured it on the bear's paw, marinating it to taste.
Then put the bear's paw into the space, so that all kinds of ingredients can completely penetrate into the bear's paw, and put it in the space for two days.
At this time, all kinds of ingredients have been perfectly blended together.
With one move, Wang Hong took out the alchemy furnace and poured a small amount of spiritual spring water into it.
Then wrap the bear paws with leaves, tie them tightly, put a bracket in the alchemy furnace, and put the bear paws on the bracket.
Close the lid, place spirit charcoal under it, and light a fire.
Put this bear paw in the alchemy furnace and steam it for half a day, and the fragrance from it has spread throughout the palace.
Fortunately, there was a big barrier, otherwise, the entire people in the royal city might know that His Majesty hid in a secret room and ate alone in the name of retreat.
Now only the two maids Mu Xianzi and Yun Qingya are guarding outside Wang Hong's secret room, swallowing wildly.
The two were greedy, but they didn't dare to disturb Wang Hong who was in retreat.
"Your Majesty may be practicing some special skills, not some delicious food." The two women could only comfort their stomachs in this way.
Wang Hong, who was in retreat at this time, had a huge plate in front of him, and a bear's paw inside was split apart along the flower knife he drew, like a blooming flower.
Stretch out the chopsticks to pick up a piece and put it into your mouth. The steamed bear paw is just right, the muscles are blended together, and the two tastes of soft and rotten and Q bomb exist at the same time.
Wang Hong chewed the bear's paw in his mouth carefully, and there was a faint fruity and wine aroma in the delicious taste, which neutralized the original greasy feeling of the bear's paw.
At present, there is no way to stop the food. A bear paw the size of a washbasin was eaten by Wang Hong in one meal.
Finally, the bones were cracked open, and the marrow inside was sucked dry before landing. The so-called knocking the bones and sucking the marrow was nothing more than that.
After eating and drinking enough, naturally you can't forget the purpose of this retreat, which is not for eating and drinking.
Take out all the jade slips given to him by the second elder of Lingyuan. All the records in it are related to the promotion of refining the virtual.
Entering the space, he studied it carefully for two years. Only now did he have a clearer understanding of the Void Refining Realm.
First of all, if you want to advance to the Void Refining Realm, you must have at least a deep understanding of one law of the Dao, and then enter the Tao through this law.
This point is not difficult for Wang Hong, he has already had a deep understanding of the law of defense before.
In terms of the practical application of the law, he is even a bit better than some Xuxu cultivators.
Another point is some pills that assist advancement.
Xuanyuan Immortal Palace naturally possesses inherited pills and pills, but such things are confidential and absolutely impossible to leak.
Fortunately, the two elders of Lingyuan are quite kind, and they pointed out the principle of the elixir and the most basic idea in the jade slips.
With these theories, Wang Hong at least grasped a general direction and knew how to do it.
For him, it is not very difficult to develop a new elixir, it just takes some materials and time.
And what he lacks most now are these two.
