Chapter 208 Dragon Abyss
February 4,
Chu Jian and Bai Hua entered the Warring States subcontinent, and Qin Mo rushed to the teleportation array to greet them.
Chu Jian, who was in the late Jindan stage, came here specifically to study the battle patterns. Qin Mo simply arranged him nearby in the Shanhai Tribe and instructed the wizard Heitu to fully cooperate with Chu Jian.
As the "birthplace" of Qin Mo, although the hunting team of the Shanhai tribe was completely wiped out, they also received extra care from Qin Mo and were donated a lot of supplies through Blackwater City.
It was also the first tribe in Nanhai County to fully transform into an agricultural society.
As for Bai Hua, she will go to Longchuan City with Qin Mo.
On the back of the yellow bird, Bai Hua mustered up his courage and said, "Can I buy secret books and magic tools from you?"
"sure."
Qin Mo nodded and asked, "What kind of skills are suitable for you?"
"I, I am a fire spirit." Bai Hua said.
“…”
Qin Mo was speechless. How could he meet another innate Taoist body?
Her fiery nature is extremely fierce, which is completely different from Bai Hua's personality. Her stuttering and autism may be related to the constitution of her fire spirit body.
"Then let's practice the "Jade Book of Incense Burning."" Qin Mo said.
As for the magic weapon, Qin Mo chose the Qingling Stone used by Yan Hong of Fenxiang Valley for Bai Hua. It is also one of the secret treasures of Fenxiang Valley and its power is extraordinary.
"How much?" Bai Hua took it happily.
"Fifty million." Qin Mo didn't ask for an exorbitant amount.
Firstly, the "Jade Book of Incense Burning" has been sold to Wei Tianli and others, so it is not the only one; secondly, magical instruments are no longer rare and are not as difficult to find as before.
In fact, with Bai Hua's aptitude, it would be easy for him to become a disciple of Emei. So why would he worry about not having Taoist techniques and magical instruments?
It was only because he was entangled in real family affairs that he was unable to concentrate on practicing Taoism and had to settle for the next best thing.
It can be said that success or failure is all due to family.
"good."
Bai Hua is also a man with plenty of money.
…
After returning to Longchuan City, Qin Mo was thinking about how to settle Bai Hua.
Why not just find Jia Xu and discuss the specific administrative structure of the Earl's Mansion? We can't let Jia Xu do everything alone, then what is the point of a team?
Jia Xu was simply too busy to handle it.
It was finally decided to set up three major institutions under the Earl's Palace: the Military Affairs Department, the Administrative Department, and the Supplies Department.
Jia Xu, the chief historian of the Earl's Palace, also served as the director of the Military Affairs Office, and was mainly responsible for the registration, reorganization, training of the army, the supply of food and materials, intelligence reconnaissance, law enforcement in the army, and combat deployment.
It is the most important institution in Nanhai County.
Needless to say, the Administrative Office is the largest government agency in Nanhai County, which includes branches such as the Agriculture Department, Water Conservancy Department, Household Registration Department, and Construction Department.
The Director of Administration is an official from Blackwater City.
The final Materials Department is mainly responsible for purchasing and transporting materials from reality, as well as collecting and transporting materials from Nanhai County to reality. It is equivalent to a transit agency of the joint venture.
The Director of the Materials Department was naturally Bai Hua.
In this way, Qin Mo can get out of the specific affairs, and Bai Hua can get an official position and share the fortune (experience points) of Nanhai County.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
…
February 8, Earl's Court.
Qin Mo convened the first military affairs meeting in Nanhai County.
Generals such as Jia Xu, Ao Lie, Ba Dao, Cang Ao, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, and Gao Shun were all on the list.
There was only one theme for the meeting - military reorganization.
When in Chuting County, Jia Xu proposed to disorganize the tribal coalition and reorganize it into a regular army.
Qin Mo did not agree.
Now, Qin Mo still did not fully agree, but was preparing to reorganize the hunting teams of various tribes according to the military organization of the Black Water Army.
We still follow the principle of only reorganizing the system and not breaking up the hunting team as much as possible.
Warriors of the same tribe are still in the same team or the same village, and the squad leader, platoon leader, team leader, and village leader are all appointed first as the squad leaders and deputy captains of the original hunting team.
To minimize the difficulty of reorganization.
The tradition of the barbarians fighting each other has lasted for hundreds of years. Changing their ideas is not something that can be done overnight, but requires a gradual process.
After reorganization,
A large army of up to 150,000 will be formed - the South Vietnamese Army.
Qin Mo served as the commander-in-chief of the Nanyue Army, Ao Lie was appointed as the deputy commander, responsible for the daily affairs of the Nanyue Army, and clan leaders such as Badao and Cangmao were also promoted to generals, each leading a department.
As for the 20,000 Black Water Army, they still maintained their complete organization, led by General Xu Chu and General Huang Zhong respectively.
After all, the South Vietnamese Army is just an attempt by Qin Mo, and its success or failure is still unknown. The Blackwater Army is the trump card in Qin Mo's hand, the stabilizing force that ensures the overall situation in times of chaos.
Gao Shun was entrusted with an important task by Qin Mo and was responsible for the training of the South Vietnamese army.
The training will last for one year.
In fact, with Gao Shun's ability, it would only take him half a year at most to complete the military training, which was mainly limited by the supply of weapons and armor.
After signing the contract, Bai is pushing forward the construction of the relevant factories at the fastest speed.
But this takes a process.
Weapons are okay, but for armor and the like, there are not many craftsmen who are well versed in this field in reality, so relevant skill training and even skill research are required.
One year,
This is the boldest promise the Bai family has ever made.
The coming year will also be a critical year for Jia Xu to implement his plan to reclaim wasteland in various tribes, develop agriculture, and prepare to build county government offices at all levels.
Only when all plans are implemented can Nanhai County be considered to have completed its transformation.
…
After the military meeting, Ao Lie stayed until the end and found Qin Mo. "Sir, I heard that you are looking for a place with all five elements?"
"Yes." Qin Mo did mention it to Jia Xu, "How come you knew there was such a place?"
"The forbidden area of Longchuan tribe - Longyuan, should meet your requirements." Ao Lie said.
"Really? Can I go and have a look?"
"Of course." Ao Lie said straightforwardly.
Qin Mo immediately distributed the food transported from reality to various tribes to help them overcome difficulties, which instantly increased his favorability.
Qin Mo has gradually gained prestige in South Vietnam.
How could Ao Lie disobey?
Most importantly, Qin Mo's sudden rise gave Ao Lie hope that Baiyue would be reunited.
That is the century-old dream of the barbarians.
Ao Lie felt his blood boiling at being able to take part in it, and his attitude towards Qin Mo began to change. Perhaps, it was really as the Shanhai tribe predicted - Qin Mo was a messenger sent by God to the barbarians.
The barbarian forbidden land can naturally be opened to Qin Mo.
…
There is a rolling mountain range to the north of Longchuan City, like a giant dragon lying across the plains.
The name Longchuan comes from this.
At the easternmost side of the mountain range there is a high peak that looks like a dragon's head.
It's called Longshou Peak.
There is an abyss under Longshou Peak. According to legend, a black dragon once died here, hence the name Longyuan.
This is the forbidden area that Ao Lie mentioned.
The two of them walked through the steep cliffs of Longshou Peak and came to a high platform. They saw that the spiritual energy was so rich all around that there was even a thin layer of spiritual mist rising.
The cliffs are covered with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.
Below the smooth cliff is a deep abyss, the bottom of which cannot be seen at a glance.
Every year, when the exotic flowers on the cliff wither, various magical fruits grow. Because it is rarely visited, no one picks the magical fruits. When they are ripe, they fall into the abyss below.
Rotten, spoiled.
Over the years, a thick layer of silt has formed at the bottom of the abyss.
In these ink-like muds, there is abundant spiritual power from the rotting spiritual fruits, as well as poisonous gases emitted by poisonous grasses, poisonous fruits and rotting objects.
There are also corpses of monsters that accidentally fell off the cliff and were corroded.
Mixed together, they form a Jedi that makes people shudder, filled with miasma that lasts all year round.
If you get a little closer, you'll feel dizzy.
"interesting."
Qin Mo had never expected that there would be such a magical thing in the world.
But he was not sure yet, this was the place where all five elements were present that he was looking for. Right now, at most, there were wood, water and earth, while gold and fire were missing.
Thinking of this, Qin Mo summoned the Tianxiao Sword and flew to the bottom of the abyss.
Ao Lie was waiting at the top of the cliff.
The further down you go, the thicker the miasma and the denser the spiritual energy become. When they mix together, they emit a strange five-colored light.
Just as he approached the bottom of the abyss, Qin Mo saw a huge dragon skeleton.
It was a real giant dragon, more than 800 meters long, and its head alone was like a small hill.
The dragon's flesh and blood had long since corroded away, leaving only a white skeleton.
Even under such corrosive substances, and after who knows how many years of erosion, the skeleton is still as white as jade and harder than ordinary gold and iron.
It can be seen how powerful this dragon was when it was alive. It was at least a fourth-grade monster.
It could even be the legendary third grade.
"Could this be the black dragon that died that year?" Qin Mo was surprised.
After getting closer, Qin Mo discovered that there was a sword stuck in the black dragon's skull. It was rusty and could not be seen clearly, but it exuded a sharp sword intent that was difficult to look at.
Qin Mo was shocked.
The sword intent is so strong that it has lasted for thousands of years without dissipating. Over the years, it has filled the entire abyss.
It's like a sword pond.
Looking closely, bubbles were still constantly coming out of the abyss made of silt. After it cracked, tall flames burst out, just like magma.
Qin Mo was delighted.
He guessed that the bottom of the abyss was probably connected to the earth veins, and the fire from the earth veins erupted along the mud, resulting in this spectacular scene before his eyes.
In this way, all five elements are truly complete.
Qin Mo didn't expect that he would encounter the Land of Five Elements so easily.
He was very suspicious.
After traveling through time, has all your blessings changed? It seems like you are the son of luck.
After reading it, Qin Mo flew back to the top of the cliff on his sword.
"How is it? Is it the Five Elements Land that the Lord is looking for?" Ao Lie asked nervously.
"That's right." Qin Mo nodded.
"That's great." Ao Lie grinned.
"You go back first and tell the Chief Clerk Jia Xu that I'm going to retreat to cultivate my body. If there's nothing important, don't disturb me." Qin Mo was decisive.
Anyway, nothing major happened in Nanhai County in the following year.
"Yes, sir!"
Ao Lie clasped his fists and left, very decisively.
…
Qin Mo calmed himself down, flew his sword again, and came to the bottom of the abyss.
There was a rare hint of hesitation on his face.
In order to survive the Calamity of the Five Elements, Qin Mo had already endured the pain of iron spikes piercing his body, the pain of miasma entering his body, the pain of cold pools and blazing flames.
But compared with the final disaster, all those were child's play.
According to the "Eight-Nine Profound Art", in order to survive the earth calamity of the five elements, one needs to be in a place where all five elements are present, corroding the skin, flesh and blood of the entire body, leaving only a skeleton.
After tempering the skeleton, the technique of flesh and blood regeneration is performed to regenerate flesh, blood, tendons, bones, and skin.
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
This is really not something a human would do.
Precisely because it is too cruel, the previous four tribulations are needed to pave the way for the body to have basic self-recovery abilities and resistance to miasma, cold pools, and flames.
Otherwise, it simply cannot be done.
