Chapter 126 Canal Access

The world of cultivating immortals, a certain cave.

"It's stable at the sixth level of Qi training."

"The effect of the elixir is gradually declining."

Makino felt the spiritual changes in his body.

After six layers, the effect of Water Golden Pill is very small. There is no spiritual vein here, and the richness of the spiritual energy is far inferior to that of the Jinshi Sect before. The speed of cultivation is naturally even slower.

It is almost impossible to find any spiritual veins in the wild.

As soon as a spiritual vein appears, it will be competed by various sect forces, making it difficult for casual cultivators to find it.

"It's been a while since the Jinshi Sect was destroyed..."

"We can't go to Qinghefang City, so we might as well go to Fangshi on the Tianyun Sect side and stay anonymous."

The plot in the game is quite smooth.

It's just that the world of immortality needs to make a little progress.

Now with the hawker talent, you can bring back some resources from the game. Staying here all this time is just a waste of this talent.

In addition, I still have a batch of spiritual stones on my body, and I can also buy elixirs, magic weapons and the like.

"By the way, there are only two or three months left before it's a year, right?"

Makino suddenly remembered that Chen Li had said before leaving that if he had reached around the ninth level of Qi training in a year, he would go to Lingxian Cliff three thousand miles north of Qinghefang City on the Spiritual Tide Day.

He said he would wait for him there.

Although Makino is not sure what Chen Li wants to do...

"I've reached the ninth level of Qi training in one year...Does Chen Li also like me?"

Makino laughed and said, "I guess I won't be able to go to Lingxianya. In another two to three months, I will be able to practice Qi at the seventh level at most, and I will be able to practice the Qi to the eighth level."

If you can't go, forget it. Makino doesn't really want to go out for adventure anyway.

Chen Li may be protected by his grandfather, but he has no protection.

Just find a place to play a game quietly and slowly improve.

"Speaking of which, Tianyun Sect is located to the north of Qinghefang City... I remember that the name of the city is Tianshuifang?"

Makoto suddenly moved, "That talisman fish was dug up in this market before... I just want to go and have a look."

The elixir is almost gone, so it’s not good to keep it in the cave.

Makino himself now has almost four to five hundred spirit stones, which can be replaced by pills, so that he can reach the eighth or ninth level of Qi training without any problem.

Using spiritual stones to practice directly is still a bit too slow with my current spiritual root qualifications.

Thinking of this, Makino packed up many things in the cave and simply set off to fly towards the north.

At dusk, based on the map of the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World, Makino found the specific location of Tianshui Fang.

The city here is brightly lit, and the magical instruments are like stars.

But disciples wearing Tianshui Sect costumes are rare.

They must all be dealing with the aftermath on the Jinshi Sect side.

"Just take this opportunity to go to the market to buy a batch of elixirs... It's best to leave after buying them."

Entering Fangshi as a casual cultivator, he was also slaughtered with several spiritual stones.

Fortunately, his cultivation at the sixth level of Qi training will not allow others to kill him too harshly.

"Tianshuifang is a little more prosperous than Qinghefang..."

Upon arriving here, Makino discovered that there were indeed a lot more alchemists and talisman masters here.

A small number of them were alchemists from Qinghefang City. For this purpose, Makino even changed his clothes and put on breath-holding charms to disguise them, for fear that others would recognize them.

If there are many alchemists, the reserve of elixirs will be enough.

Makino bought five bottles of water elixirs and one bottle of Mingshen elixir in one go, which cost more than four hundred spirit stones.

"All the spiritual stones I earned went to buy elixirs..."

Oh, I can’t say it’s earned.

Most of them were stolen, so don’t give them up for free.

In addition, there is a batch of Yuansu Mai Makino in the storage bag that Makino has not taken action from, but it is just right for him to eat anyway.

If you sell it, you will be easily recognized as a disciple of the Jinshi Sect.

After buying the spirit stones, Makino did not stay too long in Tianyun Sect. Because of the large number of visitors to the market, there is a lot of business in elixirs even with thousands of spirit stones. The elixirs he bought did not attract too much attention.

After leaving Tianshuifang City, Makino continued to travel a thousand miles north. After opening a simple cave again, he waited for a long time before moving in.

"Continue to grow and practice."

Makino was not in a hurry and just changed the spiritual stones on his body into elixirs.

Next time I go to Fangshi, I will sell some demon meat.

If done at the same time, it would be too eye-catching.

With the pills and enough food, Makino felt that in addition to practicing, he could play more games.

"And the cold energy from before will be transformed into cold evil force by me in a month or two at most, and evil spirits will be condensed by then."

So, the next time.

When Makino launched the game, he controlled several mountain stone demons to dig channels, collect different demon meats, and learn the secrets of delicacies.

When you log out of the game, you can practice by swallowing elixirs in caves, gathering evil spirits, and practicing controlling magic swords and magic weapons.

Ordinary days pass by in the blink of an eye.

Two months later.

In the game, somewhere is the boundary of Yunzhou.

King Qin looked at the majestic winding river behind him and narrowed his eyes.

The horse beneath him seemed to be able to sense his master's mood, and made a cheerful sound.

The old eunuch beside him followed him step by step.

In front, agricultural workers composed of soldiers and some civilians were holding various farm tools and repairing the river channel.

"At this rate, it will take at most one day..." The old eunuch put his hands in his sleeves, "We can dig this canal. The human and financial resources consumed this time... should be completely within the tolerance of Jinxiu City."

"Your Highness, you have been planning this plan for several years, but I didn't expect it to be done so easily."

King Qin pondered for a long time, but finally said nothing.

The old eunuch also wanted to laugh a little bit.

He has been with His Highness since he was a child. This loyal old servant has always known His Highness's plans.

Even since His Highness the King of Qin came to Jinzhou, he had always thought about digging a canal connecting Yunzhou and diverting the water from the Chishui River to Jinzhou.

His Highness has already started to prevent natural disasters.

I just never had the chance.

First, once you do this, King Qi will definitely doubt your highness's style.

Digging rivers and diverting canals is such a good thing that benefits the country and the people. What did you, a mediocre prince, think about doing?

Besides, your Jinzhou has continuous fertile soil, and apart from being subject to some droughts, there is nothing that can be done to it.

If the Chishui River flows through Jinzhou, won't Jinzhou be able to sit back and relax and develop with peace of mind?

Naturally, King Qi would not agree, which would also make people suspicious.

Until he found out that Mu Huang Tu had become the leader of the martial arts alliance and would even secretly attack Yunxiang City.

His Highness has already started planning this plan.

However, digging rivers and canals is, after all, the land of two states, with a long territory and complex terrain.

No matter how good it is for Jinzhou, for today's Jinzhou, it will still be a waste of people and money, and it will inevitably hurt Jinzhou's muscles and bones.

And now...

There was almost no big price paid, and it was even dug through extremely quickly.

This is a miraculous event both in the past and now.

Perhaps, no one in this world would have thought that someone could control the demon and lead the construction of this two-state canal that would be recorded in history.

"Yes, I really didn't expect that..." King Qin was in a very good mood, "But with such a powerful person helping me, do you think others will think that I am a wise king?"

"No one stipulates that the mediocre king can't have anyone to help him, right?" The old eunuch said with a smile, "What's more, this is just a strange businessman. Our family still says that this person cannot be allowed to leave. Leave this to others. , then I’m afraid the prince will be in trouble.”

"As long as he continues to trade with me, it will be difficult to leave." King Qin was quite confident. "He is not a counselor or a wise minister. He is a strange businessman who only likes rare treasures. This is what I have no shortage of." .”

The old eunuch smiled and said nothing.

the other side.

On the bank of Chishui River, outside Yabikou, in the military camp stationed.

"What, it's only a hundred miles away from the duck mouth?"

"How come it's so fast?"

Mrs. Yun looked at the information in her hand with some surprise, "I have seen the route of the canal. Starting from outside Jinxiu City and ending at Yabiikou, it is at least a thousand miles away... Even if Jinzhou has many warriors and a dense population, it can be dug in half a year. To get to Yazuikou, Jinzhou will probably need countless manpower...with the temperament of King Qin."

"He wouldn't dig so quickly..."

The strength of the martial artist is very destructive, and when carrying out some fortifications, he can exert a far greater effect than ordinary manpower.

But after all, it's so far away, no matter how powerful the martial artist is, it will take a long time to recover.

There is a severe drought in Jinzhou now. If a large number of manpower is sent to dig rivers, there will be complaints and a waste of money and harm to the people.

I haven't heard of anything going on in Jinzhou...

"This...such a fast digging speed..." Zhuge Shiyuan on the side frowned slightly, "It's really unbelievable and unheard of. Even if we are prepared in advance, how can we dig so fast?"

"Then King Qin, does he have some extraordinary means?"

Only Han Qi in front whispered:

"According to the information that Kuo Yujun inquired about, there was a strange man under the command of King Qin who could control demons and control several mountain stone demons to dig canals and clear roads. This was the reason why he was able to achieve such speed. It did not cost too much manpower and financial resources."

As soon as these words came out, both people present were stunned.

"Control a demon?" Mrs. Yun was startled, "Can a demon be controlled?"

Han Qi shook his head and said:

"I don't know. According to the intelligence, it is like this. If this is the case, we only need to go a few dozen miles to see it."

"With this speed of digging the canal, it will appear not far from the mouth of the duckbill tomorrow at most..."

"For us, it's a good thing, but we haven't contributed much."

"Where is the Commander-in-Chief?" Madam Yun asked.

"The commander-in-chief said that he was also a little curious, so he went to Jinzhou to see the situation first. He should know better than us now."

Mrs. Yun nodded.

Also, as a demon sealer who slays demons and subjugates them, he must be extremely surprised to learn that someone can control demons.

"Why don't you go take a look first?" Zhuge Shiyuan stood up and said, "I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I heard that someone can control demons. The fact that King Qin has such a strange person under his command shows that he must be Just pretending."

So Kuo Yujun traveled all night and arrived at a high slope on the east side of Yabiikou before dawn.

The route of the canal lies far below the high slope.

Not long after, a group of people stayed here until at the end of the field of vision, several huge figures slowly appeared.

Their tall bodies at this time were already covered with soil, and it would not be an exaggeration to call them mountain mud demons.

But even so, the movements were still neat and clean. There were four of them in total. After rolling vertically and horizontally, a simple ditch was formed.

The ground was shaking faintly.

From time to time, he stood up in a well-trained manner and dug through some hard soil with his palms.

It's as easy as a loach burrowing through the soil.

"Almost passed." Makino breathed out.

This side task is not very demanding, but the time requirement is quite high.

Of course, he doesn't actually need to come in person.

It's okay to let King Qin send his own people. Anyway, if it's just to complete the task, you can do it.

But Makino knew that firstly, he wanted to get more things from King Qin, and secondly, he wanted to tame these four mountain stone demons and use them as the regular fighting force of the vendors in the future.

After all...controlling beasts seems to be quite fun.

The more you play, the more addictive you become.

A more important reason is actually to dig the canal and solve the problem in Yunzhou.

Otherwise, a large army will attack next time.

The hidden dangers in Chishui River can easily be exploited.

"Mrs. Yun and the others seem to be on the other side of the hillside..." Makino also noticed the figures on the other side of the hill, but did not pay much attention to them and still controlled the mountain stone demon to continue digging canals.

At most, you can dig near the mouth of the duckbill in the evening.

Of course, Yunzhou is also digging.

But the digging speed... may not even be 1% of his own.

In the past two months, in addition to digging and training demons and rivers, Makino also practiced a lot of secrets on delicacies.

The eight delicacies recorded in the Secret Book of Delicious Delicacies all require special demon meat.

At this time, Makino had found four kinds of demon meat, and had already made four delicacies and finished eating them.

The remaining four kinds of demon meat are more troublesome, two of which are legendary demon meat.

For example, the last one is dragon meat.

A kind of meat called Water Demon Jiao is needed to make a 'Xue Mang'.

And legendary monsters like the Water Demon Jiao can only appear in those legendary monster lairs.

That kind of place is extremely dangerous.

This is also the difficulty in practicing the secret book of delicacies. Some special ingredients are too difficult to find.

But now that Makino has eaten four kinds of delicacies, he already feels that his stomach has improved a bit.

This improvement is very subtle.

For example, after taking the elixir, the medicinal power is converted into more spiritual power, which makes the elixir's effect much stronger.

"After completing the practice of the Secret Book of Delicacies...if I take the elixir directly...will it have the same effect as taking the elixir?"

Makino didn't really enjoy eating this piece.

But the intestines and stomach can open more than a thousand spiritual orifices, and at the same time make one's body perfect. By then, if one can complete the practice of Guanyang Shenting Sutra, then one will almost reach the peak of the fifth level.

By then, there will be more than 4,000 divine orifices in the body, and he will be only one step away from the sixth level.

Thinking about it again, I unknowingly reached the mouth of the duck's mouth.

Next, we only need to drill a hole on the side of the duckbill mouth, and all the flood water still stored in the Chishui River can be released.

Of course, in the next few days, the two parties will have to hand over, and then send soldiers along the river to guard and sort out the river.

At this point, the canal construction can be officially declared completed.

So, three days later.

The duckbill mouth moves laterally.

On one side are Jinzhou soldiers represented by King Qin.

On one side is Kuo Yujun, represented by Mrs. Yun, and many Yunzhou people surrounded by both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Under the joint witness of both parties.

Makino gave an order and ordered four mountain stone demons to be placed on the flanks of the Chishui River.

The power of the demon has become extremely powerful at this moment.

However, this power is controlled by others.

As the torrents of water rolled down.

It also symbolizes that the monsters in this world are no longer just monsters that cause endless troubles, but can also become monsters that benefit mankind...
