Chapter 252 How Daring! (2)
Two days.
For mortals, two days pass by in their short lives in a flash, and perhaps they don’t even have the slightest perception of it.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Time passes quietly between the trivialities of daily life.
But two days is enough time for Lu Yi to do many things - for example, he recruited Ah Hu back, and also recalled the hundred or so tigers that are the core of the Haojing Baihu Hall.
During the time when Lu Yi left Haojing to conquer Dongqi Bo, Ah Hu did a lot of things in Haojing.
For example, in the Heron Square of Jiupinfang Market in the northwest corner of Haojing, Ah Hu, in the name of Tianyang Mansion and Shougong Supervisor , used a small amount of money to enclose a hilly area of dozens of miles in radius.
He raised the banner of commanding troops bestowed by the emperor, posted the official documents registered in the General's Mansion and the Ministry of War, and directly hung up the sign of Tianyang Mansion to recruit soldiers.
With the Baihutang's commercial base in place, and the military pay offered by Lu Yi comparable to that of the Imperial Guards and Yulin Army, in a short period of time, more than 100,000 elite men had gathered in the Tianyang Mansion camp in Lushifang.
They all signed a life contract with the Tianyang Mansion and became Lu Yi's private army. This was a position passed down from generation to generation, which was enough to ensure their loyalty and obedience.
With Ah Hu's investment of 100,000 elite private soldiers, he spent a huge amount of money to purchase various medicinal materials and resources for them. Many soldiers who already had some martial arts skills had already entered the Peiyuan realm. Some elites who already had good martial arts skills had already successfully expanded their meridians.
Now, every day, a large number of people come here to join Lord Tianyang. The size of Lu Yi's private army is constantly expanding.
For example, these days, Ah Hu also discussed several business deals with businessmen from the north.
A nomadic tribe to the north of Dayin, they are good at taming various mounts.
Ah Hu paid a deposit and purchased a large number of excellent mounts from several powerful merchant caravans of princes. As long as these mounts arrived, Lu Yi's private army could be quickly transformed into cavalry.
More importantly, Ah Hu used some not-so-honorable underworld tactics to get a hold of some of the caravan managers, forcing them to agree to get Ah Hu some top-quality "seeds".
With these seeds, Lu Yi has a pasture of thousands of miles in his fiefdom in the south, which is enough to develop his own mount system and prevent the danger of his private army's mount channels being controlled by others in the future.
For example, Ah Hu, through his connections with the Palace Guards, got in touch with the Foundry Department of the Shaofu and purchased a large amount of sophisticated military equipment and armor.
Because Ah Hu was willing to spend money and was very good at drinking, bragging and making sworn brothers with people, he had a very harmonious relationship with the Foundry Department. Several heads of the Foundry Department were so confused that they even secretly gave Ah Hu a lot of some controlled heavy weapons.
These weapons must not be kept in Haojing.
Therefore, Ah Hu had built large warehouses outside the city of Haojing, less than thirty miles south of the city, and all the military equipment was stored in those warehouses.
Along with the weapons, several retired master craftsmen from the Shaofu Foundry Department were also sent out of the city, as well as the disciples who disappeared from the Shaofu management list due to "death from illness", "death", "disability" and other reasons.
With these master craftsmen, the weapons for Lu Yi’s private army will not be a problem in the future.
In short, during the time when Lu Yi was away on the expedition, Ah Hu and the other tiger lords of Baihu Hall were very busy.
The private army of Lu Yi Tianyang Mansion has been set up.
As long as he continues to invest money, in three to five years, Lu Yi will have a sufficiently elite private army under his command. By then, he will be a truly powerful nobleman.
However, now that he has got the good fortune, asking Lu Yi to "be honest and do his duty" and spend three to five years to have a "sufficiently elite" private army is obviously not worthy of the good fortune he has now.
In the basement of Tianyang Mansion, there is an extremely spacious stone chamber.
Ah Hu, along with one hundred and seven other tiger masters, sat cross-legged on the ground with their bare chests.
In the corner of the stone chamber, there were piles of cultivation resources that Lu Yi had confiscated from Qing Minxiu and others.
Top-grade spiritual crystals, thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, various spiritual pills, etc., which had already become extinct in the Jishengtian and were extremely valuable even in the Yuanlingtian, were piled up into a small hill in the corner of the stone chamber.
Lu Yi was floating in front of everyone, with golden light shining between his brows. Among the five Vajra Dharma images, the most basic Vajra Dharma image with thirty-two acupoint furnaces was outlined by the golden light. The five internal organs furnace and the thirty-two acupoint furnace were shining with dazzling brilliance.
Including Ah Hu, the 108 strong men opened their eyes wide and stared at the Vajra statue with fanatical looks.
They were almost hysterical, using up all their energy and spirit to engrave the complete image of the Vajra Dharma in their souls.
They tried their best to memorize the order in which the acupoints of the five internal organs and the acupoints of the Vajra Dharma Image were opened and ignited, and to remember the veins through which the golden Buddha power flowed.
In Lu Yi’s mind, the image of the three-eyed god shone brightly.
His soul light, which had almost condensed into a crystal substance, emitted a huge soul wave, covering the entire stone chamber. He led Ah Hu and the others towards him, and his soul power, which was as weak as a candlelight under the sun, helped them remember the full appearance of this Vajra Dharma Image and the mysteries of cultivating this Vajra Dharma Image.
The air around Lu Yi vibrated and turned into a low and deep voice, muttering the secret Vajra Mantra of the Great Vajra Temple.
The atmosphere in the stone chamber was solemn and mysterious, which made these men more focused. All their energy and spirit were running smoothly under Lu Yi's guidance.
The Buddhist supernatural power of enlightenment is really a bit of cheating.
As long as you are willing to spend the cost and pay the price, Buddhism is actually capable of quickly and efficiently training a large number of masters.
After killing and capturing so many Yuanlingtian cultivators in Wuzhou City, Lu Yi returned to Haojing and killed another group of them on the east gate tower. At this moment, he had a lot of cultivation resources.
After the auras of Ah Hu and the others were harmonized, and the fluctuations of their spirits and souls were perfectly aligned with Lu Yi's spirit and aura, Lu Yi opened his mouth and took a deep breath.
Mountains of Yuan crystals, spiritual medicines, finished pills, etc. turned into a stream, flowing continuously into Lu Yi's body.
Lu Yi's stomach turned into a black hole. All cultivation resources that entered his stomach were crushed alive, turned into firewood and flowed into the five internal organs furnace. Lu Yi's body turned into pure golden translucent state. The five internal organs furnace burned fiercely, purifying and refining the firewood that was transformed from these cultivation resources, and wandering along the cultivation veins of the five great Vajra Dharma images.
Under the influence of Lu Yi's terrifying body functions and terrifying cultivation methods, these cultivation resources were quickly transformed into the purest Vajra Buddha power, which was the same as Lu Yi's own!
Like molten gold.
Pure, high temperature, fierce, masculine and powerful, immune to all evil.
The Vajra Buddha power emitting a strong golden light gushed out from the furnace of Lu Yi's acupoints, transformed into golden light as thick as a thumb, and drilled into the heads of Ah Hu and the other tiger lords from the top of their heads.
Ah Hu and the other Tiger Lords' bodies squirmed, and their muscles, bones, meridians, blood vessels, internal organs, bone marrow, and even their most difficult to temper brains, were perfectly integrated with the Buddha's power that poured into their bodies under the influence of the Buddha's magical power.
A little bit, a little bit.
At this moment, Ah Hu and the 107 Tiger Lords were like a hollow sculpture mold.
Lu Yi spared no expense in injecting pure materials into their bodies, and forged golden statues of extraordinary quality.
No matter whether you are smart or stupid.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a genius or a loser.
No matter your qualifications, endowments, and all your innate and acquired conditions.
Under the magical power of enlightenment, as long as you are willing to pay, even a pig can be catalyzed into a 'divine pig' with infinite magical powers!
The entire Tianyang Mansion was shrouded in five-colored mist.
The five uncles set up the Five Elements Feng Shui formation and echoed Lu Yi from a distance.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth became extremely strong within the Tianyang Mansion.
A trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth merged into the bodies of Ah Hu and others, allowing them to experience better effects and gain greater benefits when they received the initiation.
What's even more amazing is that when Lu Yi was on his way back to Tianyang Mansion after leaving Jiuqu Garden, he had someone release overnight some of the poems and articles that he had been keeping in his hands and had not shown to others for the past few days.
Here, he mobilized the intelligence network of the Guard Palace and the Baihu Hall, so the hundreds of excellent poems and articles he deliberately stored had spread to most of the literary circles in Gaojing within just a few hours.
When Lu Yi was giving initiation and power transfer to Ah Hu and others here, the cultural and educational disciples in Haojing City were almost going crazy because of the poems and articles he threw out.
Countless cultural and educational disciples recited the poems and articles he threw out crazily. Now the cultural and educational forces were so powerful that they almost controlled the court power of Dayin. The cultural and educational disciples in Haojing were the weather vane of the entire Dayin cultural and educational disciples. Countless talents, wise men, great sages, and literary masters gathered in Haojing.
These people can be regarded as half of the essence of Dayin’s culture and education.
In the void, groups of luck that ordinary people could not sense or see quickly gathered and rushed towards Lu Yi.
Lu Yi's already strong aura quickly condensed, expanded, merged, and brewed above his head.
Finally, when the first furnace of the five internal organs in the heart of Ah Hu and the others was forcibly ignited by Lu Yi, there was already a Ganoderma lucidum-shaped umbrella of luck floating above Lu Yi's head, about an acre in radius and with a sky-blue color.
As for Ah Hu and the others, they were drawn by Lu Qi's own Qi energy. The clouds of luck above the heads of many of them were originally just ordinary white, light red, light green and other inferior colors.
But now the cloud of Lu Yi's luck is too dense. As followers of Lu Yi, their luck is rapidly expanding and the color is changing rapidly.
In the end, a light green umbrella of luck with a radius of three meters was suspended above Ah Hu's head.
The other 107 Tiger Lords all had an umbrella of luck covering their heads, which was about ten feet in diameter and had a deep red color like a rosy cloud.
Therefore, Ah Hu and the other Tiger Lords accepted Lu Yi's forced initiation and power transfer, and their breakthroughs were no longer flawless.
In just one day and one night, Ah Hu and a group of Tiger Lords broke through the barriers one after another, forcibly ignited the melting furnace of the five internal organs and the melting furnace of the thirty-two acupoints, and forcibly cultivated the first Vajra Dharma Image deduced by Lu Yi to the great perfection realm!
There was a constant sound of bones snapping.
The height of Ah Hu and the other Tiger Lords increased to about 12 feet, and all their belts were broken by their expanded waists.
The fluctuations of their spirits and souls are in perfect harmony with Lu Fu, their hearts are round and clear, and they have no second thoughts about Lu Fu!
