In the palace in Yincheng, Li Chengwei received hundreds of thousands of urgent messages.
The Hungarian Aviation Empire in the north made another change and prepared an astonishing amount of food and wages, but the number of troops and leading generals seemed to be much less, less than one-third of the previous number.
It is said that those ordinary soldiers in the Casting Realm and Condensing Spirit Realm did not appear!
As for other soldiers who cannot embark on the path of martial arts, as well as more powerful soldiers, they are all here!
Also, the Dai Viet Empire in the south and the Zhao State further south have formed an alliance and begun to prepare for a war heading north!
Even the Foyin Dynasty in the west is actually ready to make a move, hoarding more and more powerful men and troops from the four Buddhist sects outside the Broken Mountain Pass bordering the Daxia Empire.
From the analysis of all these signs, it seems that there is an invisible big hand that is planning a killing plan against the Great Xia Empire!
Regardless of the prime minister or the general, everyone in the court was worried and sad.
Because almost everyone knows a very harsh fact: the Great Xia Empire is short of money now!
The empire has used almost all resources, including the treasury, to fully support Xuanjian Sect's "retreat", so the empire is really poor now!
If the country has no money, it will be difficult to assemble the supplies needed for wartime. Even the raising of food and wages and the purchase and repair of ordnance will become huge problems and problems.
If these problems and problems cannot be solved, how can the Daxia Empire resist the multi-national siege that is very likely to occur in the near future?
Compared with the ministers, His Majesty Li Chengwei is very calm.
Even when reviewing some top-secret memorials, he would show a faint smile.
So in the court, more people were puzzled!
…
On Xuanjian Peak, everything is calm!
The soldiers who followed Li Chenghui back from Luo City all became disciples of the Xuanjian Sect, and then seemed to disappear.
Like them, two to three thousand other disciples were also missing.
The powerful people in the sect, including the sect leader and the Supreme Elder, almost rarely appear.
But it doesn't never appear.
Every once in a while, one of them will come out to take charge of the affairs of the clan.
And the same goes for those elders!
As for the other disciples of Xuanjian Sect, because they were able to obtain the reward of elixirs, they all showed unprecedented perseverance and resilience, and everyone was competing with each other.
What they are comparing is nothing else, but who can endure hardship better and withstand the endless devilish cultivation methods arranged by the elders and teachers...
…
On Xiu She Island, the big python has not seen Nie Heng for many days, so he is very worried.
What made him even more uneasy was that the cave was very quiet these days.
Didn't Nie Heng always make heart-rending cries of pain?
Why did it suddenly stop barking?
He was uneasy and wanted to break in, but Shijian waved his hand and threw him into the sea.
…
Nie Heng no longer tries to completely detoxify!
Based on his alchemy attainments in his previous life, he determined what kind of poisonous elements were contained in the so-called poisonous blood in his body.
Including the poisonous juice of the Man-eating Blood Vine, the fruit of the Wankulan Mingling Tree, the sauce of the Phytophthora, and hundreds of other highly toxic elements...
Before that, he had deduced countless ways to detoxify and tried hundreds of different prescriptions.
It's a pity that no matter what kind of elixir he refines, it can't completely remove the poisonous blood in the body. Instead, it will make certain poisonous elements in the poisonous blood stronger, and the poisonous power will be countless times more terrifying...
This is also the reason why he screamed miserably again and again!
"Master of the Wasted Dog Holy Sect, you are quite a talent!"
On this day, Nie Heng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and a faint smile on his lips.
He muttered to himself, and for the first time he sincerely praised a certain powerful enemy that he had always called a useless dog.
"The marrow-devouring poisonous blood you created is really incurable with the medicinal materials and treasures from the mainland at the bottom of the well!"
"Unless I leave the Well Bottom Continent now and find the necessary medicinal materials, I can be sure to eradicate the poison you created at once..."
"But I can't leave the Well Bottom Continent now!"
"Is this your confidence?"
After muttering to himself, Nie Heng opened his eyes.
He slowly stood up and began to walk out of the cave.
Outside, the sword guard has been guarding him like a statue. The big python that just swam back from the sea was squatting not far away.
Mrs. Snake is also there, but because time is not forgiving, she cannot stand all the time, but sits on a soft chair.
She is really old and not too strong, so her lifespan has almost come to an end...
Then they all saw a certain figure - Nie Heng came out with a confident smile.
"Nie Heng, how are you?"
Shi Jian was the first to step forward and tried to help Nie Heng, but found that Nie Heng didn't seem to need anyone's support at all, so she stretched out her hand and slowly and unnaturally retracted it.
"Brother-in-law, you scared me to death. If you didn't scream, I would get anxious... But why haven't you screamed for me for so many days?"
As expected, the big python still doesn’t know how to speak human words!
Only Madam Ling Sheng understood Nie Heng's smile and thought of something: "Little friend Nie Heng, do you have a solution?"
Hearing this, Nie Heng nodded.
He indeed already knows how to crack the marrow-eating poisonous blood: the simplest method is the way!
He knew that the poison of marrow-eating poisonous blood was indeed difficult to remove or alleviate. Even he, in this well-bottomed continent, could not prepare a perfect antidote for marrow-eating poisonous blood.
But...what's the problem?
The key is that Nie Heng now knows one thing: he doesn't need to detoxify at all!
"That useless dog named his sect the Holy Ghost Sect. He is indeed an honest useless dog!"
She Shiyun once commented on the so-called Holy Sect: A moth has no sons, and a moth bears it down!
Now he looked at Mrs. Spirit Snake and said with a smile: "Senior, have you ever heard of the corn borer?"
"Corn borer?"
Mrs. Spirit Snake opened her eyes wide and said: "It's just a small insect that harms the crops of the human race! And because they have a strong reproductive capacity, it is said that the farmers of the human race have headaches from these small bugs!"
"Yes, it's this kind of insect!"
Nie Heng nodded again and said: "That useless dog used this kind of bug, but before using it, he cultivated a mutant corn borer..."
In fact, all the virulent poison in the marrow-eating poisonous blood is contained in the body of the mutant corn borer.
This variant of the corn borer is so small that even a strong warrior at the martial arts level cannot detect its existence with the naked eye, let alone the naked eye.
But they do exist, containing the poison that eats marrow and poisons blood, and exists in the bodies of holy envoys and saints.
After briefly introducing the situation, Nie Heng continued: "The useless dog cultivated a powerful first-generation corn borer mother body, and then used a method similar to the poison technique to make it a poison that can be passed down from generation to generation.
."
The leader of the Holy Sect himself had the first-generation mutant corn borer mother body, and then passed the offspring born from the mother body to the holy envoys like poison.
When the poison in the saints' bodies reproduces a new generation of poison, it can be passed on to the next level of saints or saints.
Layer by layer, pass it on like this!
Once a warrior possesses the marrow-eating poisonous poison in his body, it can indeed help the warrior to increase his strength at first, but at the same time, it also turns the warrior into a puppet controlled by others.
Once the poison of the next level loses its carrier with the death of a certain warrior, it will instantly transfer to other poisons of the same generation or the poison of the upper level, carrying the lifelong essence of the person it has already devoured.
Inside!
This is how he controls other useless dogs!
"Huh...that's it!"
Mrs. Spirit Snake took a deep breath and couldn't help but marvel: the methods of the Holy Ghost Sect are indeed secretive and even more ruthless.
But what she was even more amazed by was Nie Heng's strength, intelligence and attainments in alchemy.
"Hmph..." Nie Heng smiled faintly and looked at the sea and the sky: "A useless dog treats trivial matters as poison, so I will destroy them with simplicity!"
His smile is filled with absolute confidence!
Because he knew the simplest way to crack the marrow-devouring poisonous blood - you don't have to deal with those highly toxic elements, you only need to use elixirs to kill the carrier of the real poisonous blood - the mutant corn borer!
At the same time, Nie Heng also understood a new true meaning of the great road!
From simplicity to complexity, this is the evolution process of the way of heaven!
So……
From complexity to simplicity, from simplicity to simplicity, what will happen?
