Jiang Yao and Li Xi discussed for a while and ordered not to see outsiders for the time being.
However, Jiang Yao moved to the elixir table left by Qin Yu, and with the help of the meager spiritual energy, he tried hard to deduce the medicinal properties of Li Xi's heart and mind and the seven-leaf clover.
He lost his cultivation and could not use the medicine formula. He could only use tree branches to calculate and deduce on the sand table.
Li Xi, on the other hand, was seriously injured and hid in the room with a haggard face. No one could be seen except Jiang Yao.
Only when Qin Yu went to the funeral, Jiang Yao and Li Xi showed up to see the funeral out of the Imperial Master's Mansion, and then closed the door again.
The actions of the new imperial master were so unpredictable that the kings and ministers of Chu State did not know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so they did not dare to disturb him without authorization.
Jiang Yao and Li Xi were discussing how to leave, and the king of Chu and his ministers were also discussing how to survive the crisis in the palace.
…
"The Imperial Preceptor has just arrived, and he has important matters, which may be related to the crisis of our Chu State." The King of Chu said with a solemn expression, "You should not go to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to ask for advice. After a while, the Imperial Preceptor should
Have your own countermeasures.”
Dazai Gu Zhong said: "Your Majesty, do you want to agree to the 100,000 girls that the Blood Demon demands in order to slow down the war?"
"My lord, please don't be upset. I'm just being hypocritical. I didn't really promise to send 100,000 girls to the Blood Demon."
Another minister said: "When the Blood Demon builds the Tianmo Bridge, the desert sea will no longer be able to stop the Blood Demon. By then, not to mention a hundred thousand girls, even my 20 million Chu people will all become Blood Demons and
The blood of the charming tapir eats pigs and sheep.”
"The strategy of slowing down the war will not slow down the war forever. Alas, after all is said and done, if our country of Chu wants to continue to survive, it will still end up on the destroyed bridge."
The State of Chu is located in an oasis in the vast sea of desert. The surrounding desert is not only vast, but also has a harsh environment. The ground is cracked and crisscrossed, making it difficult for the Blood Demon to penetrate deeply. It has become an insurmountable natural danger for thousands of years.
This is also the reason why Chu State survived.
However, hundreds of years ago, the Blood Demon nobles closest to the Chu Kingdom had been looking for a way to invade the Chu Kingdom, and they finally found a way to build an overpass in the Tianmo Canyon.
This is a stupid way, but it is also the only way.
For this reason, the Blood Demon spent hundreds of years building the overpass. Now it has been built for hundreds of miles and is almost completed.
Once completed, it would be the end of the Chu Kingdom.
If Qin Yu hadn't used all his means to delay the Blood Demon from repairing the bridge, the Tianmo Bridge would have been repaired long ago.
According to Tanma's report, the Tianmo Bridge will be completed within a month at most.
"Your Majesty," said a general, "just recruit all the warriors, mobilize all the elite soldiers, and stop the bloody battle at Tianmo Bridge."
Gu Zhong shook his head: "Our Chu country has only 300,000 elite soldiers. The strength of the soldiers is far inferior to that of the Blood Demon. How can we resist the vicious and brutal Blood Demon?"
"Even if we block it, they can come again. Even if we block the Blood Demon, there will still be charmed tapirs. When will this end?"
King Chu looked in the direction of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, with a worried expression and a hint of hope, "I believe what the old Imperial Preceptor said. This matter will probably have to be resolved by the new Imperial Preceptor."
"Pass on the king's order to recruit warriors from all over the country to prepare for a decisive battle with the Blood Demon. If the national master has no choice, we, the Chu State, will have no choice but to fight to the death."
………
Near an extremely steep desert canyon thousands of miles away from the oasis of Chu State, there are black tents, with strong-blooded men in armor, tall noses and deep eyes, holding cross swords, walking in and out.
These males are tall and ferocious in appearance. They have deep-set eye sockets, over-high noses that are large and pointed, their teeth are long and sharp, and their faces are as pale as paper. They look strange, dangerous, and ferocious.
The entire camp was filled with a cold, fierce, bloody, and fierce ominous atmosphere, and the strong smell of sweat was filled with bloodthirsty evil spirits.
They are the blood demons responsible for building the Tianmo Bridge and preparing to attack the Chu Kingdom. They are the main soldiers of the Blood Cross Parish within a radius of thousands of miles.
In the middle tent, a blood demon noble with an aquiline nose, red beard, and green eyes was holding a sacrificial dinner. Those attending the sacrificial dinner were all blood demon nobles with status in the military.
"O omnipotent Lord, the gods may die, but the Lord's glory will always come." The red-bearded blood demon noble said, "The cake seller!"
"Thousands of years ago, we once had great power, just like the gods. I believe that one day, the Lord will give us magical power and speed again."
"The cake seller!" The Blood Demon nobles also said solemnly.
Immediately, a human woman was escorted in front of the statue. The woman looked frightened and kept struggling.
"I have already willingly married the noble Lord Blood Demon and served him respectfully day and night. Why do you want to kill me! Oh... please spare your humble and meek maid, Lord!"
The red-bearded blood demon smiled and said: "Lucky child, it is precisely because you are a submissive slave girl and serve me so devoutly that you can bathe in the glory of the Lord and your soul has been sublimated."
"My child, you will no longer have sin, and your soul will receive the gospel."
That human woman was the plaything of the red-bearded blood demon noble. Now it was tired of playing with her, and tired of her increasingly active body. The meaner and more wanton she was, the less interested it was.
Well, it's time to use her to fulfill her second role.
"Blood is the source of life. It is the most holy, pure, and has the most pious will. Blood will never be cold, and blood will always be sweet, delicious, and passionate... Oh my god, I still can't describe the beauty of blood."
"Sadarah, devout man, let's begin." Red Beard no longer looked at his woman, but at a sacrifice.
"As you wish, my Lord Elska, my wish to honor the Lord can't wait to be fulfilled."
A priest wearing a pointed hat and a black cross on his chest said. He took out a sharp tubular knife and walked to the human woman.
While muttering something in its mouth, it stabbed the sharp tubular knife into her neck.
The woman's eyes suddenly bulged out from fear and severe pain.
The hot blood flowed from the neck along the knife tube and flowed into a large bottle made of colored glass.
The hot, blistered blood flowed into the glass bottle like a fountain, and soon the bottle was full.
The blood of women has been drained, and those who are already dead cannot die again.
The nobles present all stared at the steaming blood bottles with green eyes, their throats rolling, showing greedy and bloodthirsty expressions, sticking out their scarlet tongues to lick their lips, and sniffing without restraint.
It smells so good.
Fragrant to death.
It's not their fault.
Today's human race and other four major races have been almost eaten out in recent years.
Only a few received the Lord's grace and saved their lives.
Things are rare and valuable. It can be said that it is becoming increasingly difficult to enjoy the delicious taste of human blood. Let alone ordinary blood demons, it is difficult for nobles like them to drink human blood.
On the market, the flesh and blood of a living person can fetch hundreds of thousands of berry crystals.
Nowadays, the nobles have begun to suck the blood of the lower class blood demons.
But today, they can drink human blood!
"Come, my friends, my loyal guys, with the gift of the Lord, we enjoy the delicious blood, cake seller!" said the red-bearded Blood Demon leader Elska.
Scarlet blood and fine wine were poured into the wine glasses of the blood demon nobles present.
The blood demon nobles all looked intoxicated.
"Lord, this is the most delicious wine in the world! What a wonderful night!"
"Poor man, I swear to the Lord, I haven't drunk a cup of human blood for a year. My strength is not as good as before."
"Haha, is it true? Poor Epirus, have you forgotten the taste of blood?"
The Blood Demon nobles raised their cups of "fine wine" with the body temperature of a woman, teasing and congratulating each other.
The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed, and everyone was happy.
The party was a success and it was a wonderful evening.
Soon, the female corpse was also disemboweled, cut into eight pieces, sorted into categories, and placed on exquisite dinner plates.
The best meat is of course presented to the leader Elska.
The Blood Demon nobles drank fine wine one after another, elegantly cut a piece of meat with a table knife, put it into their mouths, and then tasted it elegantly.
Everything is so elegant and has a sacred atmosphere. But it has definitely not lost the solemn sense of ceremony.
The blood demons felt that familiar, solemn, noble... feeling in their hearts!
Yes, the noble touch brought great enjoyment to their hearts at this moment.
"Guys." Elska took a sip of warm blood, swallowed the meat in her mouth, and put down the knife in her hand.
The blood demon nobles put down their shiny, blood-stained knives one after another and looked at the wise and brave Elska.
They knew that Elska would never simply invite them to a banquet.
Your Majesty, there must be something very important.
The Earl touched his red beard gracefully, then pointed to the opposite side of the Grand Canyon and said: "There are 20 million humans in the oasis. What do you think should be done with them?"
A nobleman smiled and said: "My dear and respected Lord Elska, we have spent so much effort and finally completed this unprecedented bridge, isn't it just for their flesh and blood and women?"
"When they conquer them, what a grand joy it will be for the warriors. The warriors can do whatever they want, eat as they please, drink as they please, and thank the Lord with tears in their eyes for the gift."
Many blood demon nobles nodded when they heard this.
How to deal with it? Needless to say.
Of course, you can play when you want, eat when you want, or play first and then eat.
However, the noble Earl, the respectable Elska, showed a rare look of solemnity and shook his head.
"Friends, the human race is rare in number. The human race hiding in the desert oasis is already the largest and the last large ethnic group."
"If we eat them, what will we drink and eat in the future?"
"If they are all extinct, will it be a good thing for us?"
A blood demon noble nodded and said: "You are absolutely right, my Lord Earl, so what does your Lord Earl mean?"
Elska drank the blood in the cup and said one word: "Cultivation."
Breeding?
The blood demons suddenly understood.
"The Earl's wisdom and foresight are really lucky for all of us. I promise the Lord, I firmly believe that the Earl's idea is extremely wise."
"That's right, the human race hiding in the oasis is the biggest seed, the human seedling. We can't enjoy it all at once."
"Even if we raise pigs and sheep in captivity, we can raise them and drink their blood and eat their meat while they are in captivity. Oh my God, if we are more patient, we will have a steady stream of blood food."
The earl smiled with satisfaction. He elegantly cut a piece of meat, put it into his mouth with a fork, and said, "Friends, it's not that simple."
"Because blood food is becoming increasingly scarce among humans, so it's time to improve the way we eat it."
"For example, we should not kill them indiscriminately, causing their numbers to further decrease or even become extinct. When we suck blood, we can suck less blood and don't let them die all at once."
"Also, we can let human women have more children, and then treat these children as human races and sell them to other vampires in Blood Cross Parish for breeding, and we can earn a lot of berry crystals."
"In this case, it is a good deal with huge profits. Moreover, as long as the cultured blood food is distributed enough, the vampire clan will not kill each other and you will fight for it."
Elska became a little excited when she said this: "It is foolish to exterminate one's own food. Short-sighted enjoyment can only be happy for a moment!"
"Friends, I ask your warriors to restrain themselves after entering the oasis and not to wantonly destroy our property!"
The Blood Demon nobles have expressed their stance that they will strictly abide by the count's orders.
At this moment, a blood demon warrior suddenly came in and said: "Noble Lord Earl, this is a secret message sent by the human prime minister."
Elska borrowed the secret letter, opened it and took a look, revealing a fiery look on her face.
"That old guy Gu Zhong said that an old man and a young man came to their capital. The beauty of that girl is simply unparalleled in the world, like a goddess..."
"He promised that I will definitely like that woman. It will be a great pleasure to use that woman as a female slave."
"Guys, I admit, I'm excited."
Elska licked her lips, "If the old guy didn't lie, then I won't hesitate to let him help us breed blood food and give him a way to survive. He may be a good slave."
"Give me my order. The Tianmo Bridge must be completed within half a month. I am already thirsty for the woman that the old guy told me about."
The blood demons burst into laughter immediately. They knew that the earl's words sounded impatient, but in fact they were mainly meant to boost morale. Although the earl loved women, he would not really take a woman seriously.
Anyway, they are just playthings, and after enough play, they are just food.
Elska gave the order, and the speed of building the bridge immediately accelerated.
The grand canyon hundreds of miles wide will soon be completed. This biggest obstacle in the desert will no longer be able to stop the blood demon army.
The one hundred thousand Blood Demon warriors suddenly became excited as if they had been given blood.
Although the true world has turned into mortals, their spiritual power has expired, and they have become mortal creatures, their physical strength and speed still have great advantages over humans.
Moreover, they are bloodthirsty and extremely cruel, which further strengthens their brutal fighting power.
Once these 100,000 blood demons enter the oasis in the desert, the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops will be really hard to resist!
………
Imperial Master's Mansion, Xiancao Terrace.
In the past few days, Jiang Yao's hair, which was already full of white hair, has turned a lot whiter.
The whole face is thin and the cheeks are sunken.
But he was in high spirits, with bright eyes and a relaxed expression.
After several consecutive days of deduction and deliberation, he finally used the Medicine Spirit Body to develop a new first-class elixir.
This new first-level elixir is refined with Li Xi's blood and seven-leaf clover. The elixir is automatically named Blood Qi Pill and can be used to nourish Qi and blood.
If you get the real world, this new elixir will be very cheap. But if you refine it now, it will be a priceless treasure.
Jiang Yao seemed to have verified it several times, until he was sure it was accurate, then he left the immortal medicine stage and returned to the Imperial Master's study with a sense of peace of mind.
Li Xi looked pale and hugged a thick mink fur cloak. Her originally shiny black hair had turned a lot yellower, and her eyes had become thinner and larger, as if she was just recovering from a serious illness.
"Junior Brother Jiang, how are you?" Li Xi asked impatiently when she saw Jiang Yao come in and leave.
Jiang Yao sat down on the desk and said, "It was deduced into Blood Qi Pill, a first-class elixir."
Li Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, showing an expression of relief, but his brows still did not completely relax: "Then, can you refine this level of elixir?"
Jiang Yao nodded without hesitation and said: "As long as I go to that mountain on a full moon night and have a little spiritual energy and vitality, I can refine it."
Li Xi then smiled and said, "Okay, Junior Brother Jiang has worked hard too. Next, we will see if the method Qin Yu found is feasible."
Jiang Yaodao: "How is your wound recovering? Can you go a long way by car? That mountain is at least a thousand miles away from here."
Li Xi said without hesitation: "The wound has healed, but the vitality has been damaged. There is no problem in traveling far by car."
Jiang Yao nodded and said: "Okay, without further ado, we will set off immediately and get there first to refine the elixir."
Li Xi hummed, "We must go back immediately without any further delay."
Jiang Yao found the medicine cauldron and other medicine refining tools left by Qin Yu, ordered the waiters to prepare their horses, and then left the royal city in the name of looking for something to save the country.
When the King of Chu heard that the imperial advisor was out looking for something to save the country, he was convinced.
But Dazai Gu Zhong secretly sent a group of people to follow him!
