Chapter 359 Half a Year
In the new secret cultivation room, Zhang Hao slowly opened his eyes, and the aura of the mid-stage golden core diffused lightly. After starting school at Beidou Academy and officially getting on the right track, Zhang Hao began to retreat and practice.
During the period, I went out occasionally to pay attention to the development, and occasionally posted a link to the Zhang family and the Dayang Group, and then continued to retreat.
Since things got on the right track, Zhang Hao was finally able to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and he could rest assured for a period of time.
This retreat lasted for more than three months. Zhang Hao sorted out all the things since time travel, especially focused on sorting out his own cultivation, consolidating his cultivation base and foundation. The key point is to understand the meaning of Zhou Tian Xingdou.
Before that, Zhang Hao was very puzzled, there were tens of thousands of stars in the sky, how could he create a '366 weeks of stars'. Now I finally figured it out, there are 366 acupuncture points! It is the acupuncture point of the starry sky!
In the traditional thinking of Zhou Tian Xing Dou, or from the ancient relics excavated there, Zhou Tian Xing Dou is modeled on the human body, and the stars in the sky are compared with the acupuncture points of the human body to distinguish them, and then separate the so-called 366 'acupoints', and these It is the general meaning of Zhou Tian Xing Dou.
The actual meaning is very complicated. To correspond the starry sky and the human body one by one, the knowledge involved is huge and complicated. Zhang Hao spent a lot of effort and only understood a general idea-this knowledge is very strange, this kind of star-based Officials and miscellaneous are divided by animal names, combined with yin and yang and five elements, and the starry sky of the human body, which is very complicated and cumbersome.
Zhang Hao bit the bullet and pondered for a long time, but in the end he just barely got a general idea, which was helpful for his practice.
Withdrawing his mind, Zhang Hao felt the capabilities of Jindan's mid-stage peak, and smiled faintly.
With the help of the roots of the nine-ground red lotus brought back from the Red Lotus Sect, the Zhang family established a perfect practice base (secret realm). In the base, there is a rich and active aura to assist in the practice, and the flame breath of the nine-ground red lotus to help refine it.
Although practicing in such an environment is a bit painful, the progress is rapid and the foundation is stable.
In fact, the aura of the red lotus of the Nine Earths is equivalent to a kind of strange fire; Zhang Hao had such a feeling when he watched Feng Zhiling refining the flying sword, but that kind of strange fire could not last. But after having the Nine Lands Red Lotus, the Zhang family has established a permanent practice base.
The roots of the Nine Ground Red Lotus are not dead, the Zhang family can feed them with spirit stones, monster flesh and so on. Now, the roots of the Nine Ground Red Lotus have sprouted!
When Zhang Hao walked out of his secret room, he saw that there were closed retreat rooms all around him. Some of them retreated, and even if there was a seal to isolate them, they could feel the tyrannical atmosphere inside.
After such a long time, there are more and more masters in the Zhang family and the Dayang Group. With the spread of the theory of the circle of the earth and the progress of the great voyage, a large number of masters came to seek refuge. Almost all of these masters are at the Nascent Soul stage, and most of them are above the Nascent Soul stage.
Zhang Hao walked towards the center of the base, the closer he got to the center, the more intense the flames became. And the aura coming from the surrounding secret rooms became more and more surging.
Finally, Zhang Hao came to the end of the secret room, just in time to see Fu Yun's secret room slowly opening, and Fu Yun and his disciple Ge Dong walked out of it.
At this time, Ge Dong was sweating profusely, and there was another layer of dirt on the surface of his body. When Zhang Hao saw him, he immediately stepped forward to congratulate him: "Congratulations brother, you have reborn. Are you going to enter the Nascent Soul Stage?"
Fu Yun sent a gentle smile to Zhang Hao: "It's still early. I just entered the late stage of Jindan. But you, you have made a lot of progress."
"Of course we have to improve, otherwise we would have wasted such a good environment and time. I'm going to see the roots of the Nine Earth Red Lotus, senior, do you want to come and see?"
Fu Yun shook his head: "Forget it. Although I am curious, it is an important thing of Dayang Group after all, so I will not go there."
"Okay. Senior should be approaching the middle stage of transformation, right?"
"How can it be so fast!" Fu Yun laughed and cried a little, "It's just like the peak in the early stage. If you want to break through, you have to test your skills."
"Then if there is a fairy spirit, can it speed up the practice?"
"Fairy spirit energy?" Fu Yun frowned slightly, "Of course it will be much faster if it is used for cultivation. But fairy spirit energy is not consumed like this."
"Senior, don't get excited, I'm just asking. Alright, I'll take a look inside first." Zhang Hao left after speaking, leaving Fu Yun in a daze.
I'm just asking...that's all...that's all...
It wasn't until Zhang Hao's figure disappeared behind the gate of the core that Fu Yun smiled and said to himself: "I really want to stop you from beating me up. But, based on what I know about you, since you said that, then You must have thought about it. I don’t know where you want to get the spirit of the fairy?”
Zhang Hao entered the core area of the secret room and walked underground. The Zhang family also has ground fire here, and the roots of the nine ground red lotus are planted here.
Under the environment of the Zhang family's man-made holy place and the support of a large number of spirit stones, the roots of the nine ground red lotus have been revitalized. At the cut-off place, among the withered wreckage more than ten meters thick, a crystal-clear, coral-like bud is thriving.
This bud is already more than three meters high, and there is a small flower bud at the top. Sensing Zhang Hao's arrival, the flower bone was still slightly swaying.
Zhang Hao flew up slowly, came to the side of the flower bone and stroked it gently, communicated for a while, or cultivated a relationship for a while, dripped a few drops of blood, and then Zhang Hao came to the ground.
On the ground, a full ten 'steaming spirit stone' devices are running, and vigorous aura erupts from them. These auras are either absorbed by the roots of the nine-ground red lotus, or enter the passage of the secret room.
The entire training base was shrouded in an enchantment, and the aura inside the base was tumbling, and the aura was ten times stronger than that of the Holy Land. It's just that it's less active than the Holy Land - it lacks a kind of vitality and nature. But as a practice environment, it is enough.
The ones responsible for taking care of the Nine Lands Red Lotus are Swordsmen and Swordsmen. This couple has now fully joined the Zhang family - it's the Zhang family, not the Dayang Group.
Since returning from the first voyage, the two have vowed to join the Zhang family. After going out for a walk and seeing what happened in Taotu Island, the two of them felt that the Zhang family's future was limitless. If you join the Zhang family at the beginning of its development, you can at least become a veteran.
The most important thing is that the two also want to use the power of the Nine Earth Red Lotus to see if there is a way to enter the stage of transformation without using the spirit of the fairy.
The Nine-Distance Red Lotus of the Red Lotus Sect is too dangerous, and this weak, newly sprouted Nine-Distance Red Lotus may be an opportunity.
At this time, the two were practicing, and Zhang Hao didn't bother them. Turned around, checked his territory, and left arrogantly.
Coming outside the practice base, Zhang Hao stretched fiercely. This retreat lasted for three months. The reason why Zhang Hao left the customs was because according to the agreement between Qixia Kingdom and Xuanzhen Sect, in about ten days, it would be half a year.
At this time, uneasiness is brewing throughout the west of the Fertile Continent! The half-year period has arrived, and I still don't know what to do.
Now not only the other five countries are preparing for war, but Qixia Country is also preparing for it—both sides are preparing for a war! A war with no room for change.
Several months have passed, and the rumors that the Qixia Kingdom wants to unify the West have spread everywhere. The once Zhongshan country was still somewhat dissatisfied with the other four countries, but at this time it had to fully join.
Zhang Hao will pay attention to these news even if he retreats. In other words, every time Zhang Hao retreats for about ten days and half a month, he will take three or two days to inspect Dayang Group and pay attention to the development of the country. After processing, we will continue to retreat.
While Zhang Hao was thinking, he walked slowly towards the seaside, getting on and off, and the railway from the port to Changshan Town, and then to Luanci Mountain and Ninghe County had been expanded to four tracks.
The structure of the locomotive has been optimized a lot, and the speed has also been improved.
A train rumbled past, and the locomotive was fully loaded with sections from Luancishan Xuantie Factory, including I-beams, steel plates, and so on.
More than three months have passed. Of the first batch of 1,000 seeds who went to Xuanzhen Sect, more than 300 people have entered the Nascent Soul stage and returned. These people are guarding every position in Dayang Group. The steel production base of the Zhang family has also moved to Luanci Mountain.
Due to the reorganization of the industry, the cost of steel has further decreased and the output has increased rapidly.
However, although the prices of the high-purity dark iron and steel sold by Dayang Group have been slightly reduced, they are very few. Today black iron and steel still have a wide market.
As Feng Zhiling led more than 300 yuan of infants to open up the land trade route, Xuanzhen Sect saw the benefits and also intervened in it. Now Lingfeng Group is almost controlled by Xuanzhen Sect, Feng Zhiling only retains a small share.
Today's Lingfeng Group has become the largest commercial group in the West of Fertile Land. Every day, it buys a large amount of black iron, steel, profiles, and elixir from Qixia Country and Dayang Group, and then sells them to the western countries of Fertile Land. , Some caravans have even entered the middle of the Fertile Land Continent. The Xiaoyao faction's blockade has completely failed.
Similarly, Lingfeng Group will also bring a large amount of medicinal materials, precious spiritual materials, etc., to inject impetus into the development of Qixia Country and Dayang Group.
Zhang Hao walked slowly towards the seaside, and from time to time, strong men with various accents greeted him along the way. Today's Dayang Group has attracted hundreds of experts from the continent of Taotu, the continent of Fertility, and even the continent of Kunlun—hundreds of them have passed the review and joined the Dayang Group.
Many of these masters have certain professional knowledge. Such as refining equipment, alchemy, formations, special practice secrets, etc. There are even animal tamers. Those who came from the Land of the Earth naturally also included practitioners of the Demonic Dao.
Quite a few people are astrologers, or are related to astrologers. They are attracted by the round earth theory.
Also, with the rise of the theory of the circle of the earth, the legend of the overseas Nine Immortals Mountain once again became rampant. And the steel battleship of Dayang Group also gave many people new hope:
Perhaps, we can explore the outer seas through steel warships!
Zhang Hao walked along the way, but also heard a lot of discussions along the way. After arriving at the port, Zhang Hao looked at the busy port and smiled confidently.
Today, the port has been expanded to a length of three kilometers, and four steel warships are moored in the port. The flags hoisted on the steel warships are not the sea eagle flag of Dayang Group, nor the Zixia Golden Phoenix Flag of the Qixia Kingdom—there are two kinds of Qixia Kingdom, one is the national flag, the Zixia Golden Phoenix Flag, and the other is the queen's exclusive flag , Black Fire Phoenix Flag.
Flying on the battleship is the banner of Xuanzhen Sect - Jinyun Ziyang Banner. This is a brand-new banner designed by Xuanzhen Sect. A mountain peak is looming in the misty golden clouds; a purple-red morning sun slowly rises in the misty golden clouds. This flag borrows the meaning of Xuanzhen Sect's 'Ziyang Gong'.
Since signing the agreement with Xuanzhenjiao, Dayang Group has been continuously improving shipbuilding technology and increasing the scale of shipbuilding.
Now the shipyard can build five warships at the same time.
Now Dayang Group has frantically produced 13 warships, of which Dayang Group exclusively owns six ships. One was sold to the Land of Canglan, and now it has entered the final testing process.
The other four ships were given to Xuanzhen Sect. The last two warships were handed over to Qixia Country.
Now the Dayang Group has built the 'First Fleet of the Dayang Group', with Dugu Junjie, the general manager and commander. Its banner includes a Zhiyuan warship and five Iron Duke class warships of 10,000 tons.
Xuanzhen Sect has also built its own fleet, four steel warships, all of the Iron Duke class. The name of the fleet is very famous: Weihai Fleet. Yes, it is the Weihai Fleet. When Zhang Hao heard the name, he almost bit off his tongue. But having said that, there is really nothing wrong with this name, it is a very powerful name.
The person in charge of the fleet is "Lu Xuanyu", a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, with the Taoist name "Zhengxuanzi". He is considered Zhang Hao's senior brother, a little younger than Feng Zhiling, and is Feng Zhiling's senior brother. However, his military ability surpassed Feng Zhiling's by several blocks.
Finally, there is the 'Pearl Fleet' of the royal family of Qixia Kingdom in Xiaoshou state. There are only two ships in total. The captain, of course, was Schubenen.
Today, Xuanzhen Sect's Weihai Fleet has just returned from the south, bringing back massive resources. There are mountains of medicinal materials, a large number of sea and land monster materials (flesh, bones, fur, etc.), and many kinds of spiritual materials.
Boxes of precious medicinal materials are priced by the ton, and merchants by the sea are bidding at the top of their throats. In the transactions between the two parties, almost all checks from the Green Boat Bank were used, and the entire port was busy.
The train stopped directly at the port, and a large number of people on the sixth and seventh floors of the gas refining stage chanted and piled up a large amount of goods on the car board.
Three or four trains can be loaded with the cargo carried on a battleship.
Just as Zhang Hao was watching, there was a melodious siren sound from the sea in the distance, and he saw six warships flying the flags of Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom slowly approaching—four ships of Dayang Group and two ships of the royal family.
Far away, Dugu Junjie couldn't help but flew up and shouted: "Big news, big news, this time the fleet has traveled more than 20,000 kilometers south, established contact with the Tianmo Sect in the south of Taotuzhou, and purchased the "Tianmo Sect" Jingzhou Peninsula', 1 million square kilometers!
This time, we have brought resources from the south of the Tall Earth Continent. Make sure no one has seen it!
Get ready to go crazy..."
This time, even Zhang Hao was shocked. This time even purchased 1 million square kilometers! What is this concept? Almost one-third of Qixia Country now!
The whole seaside was stunned, but erupted the next moment.
The four warships of the Xuanzhen Sect in the port quickly unloaded and moved to the side immediately; the six 10,000-ton warships rolled up the monstrous waves and slowly approached.
From afar, Zhang Hao saw a 'familiar yet unfamiliar' creature on the battleship.
giraffe!
However, this giraffe has a sharp single horn on its head, which is as long as one meter. At this time, the giraffe is in a sealed state.
