I can infinitely improve my spiritual attributes

In the tent.

Zhou Shan, Li Cheng and Wang Qing were discussing which county to attack.

In front of them, there was a huge map.

There were a total of 17 states in Dongying.

Among them, the Southern Dynasty occupied seven of them, and the size of each state was about the same as a county in Donghai Prefecture, but now the Fushan Prefecture of the Southern Dynasty has been occupied by the Donghai Navy.

The next move of the Donghai Navy is to attack Yizhou and Zuozhou.

The strong men in the state cities of Yizhou and Zuozhou are naturally dealt with by the main force of the Donghai Navy, while Zhou Shan and others are responsible for attacking the various counties in Yizhou and Zuozhou.

Daqian Kingdom directly regarded the attack on Dongying as an assessment of the martial arts imperial examination.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Daqian Kingdom is far more powerful than Dongying Kingdom. Even in the case of war with Nanman Kingdom, it is not enough for Daqian Kingdom to deal with a small country of Dongying seriously. It is enough to dispatch the Donghai Navy.

You know, Daqian Kingdom has 34 prefectures, and Donghai Prefecture is just one of them.

"In my opinion, we should attack Shan County in Yizhou!" Zhou Shan said, "Yizhou Shan County is the closest to where we are, and it is only a small county with only tens of thousands of people. Let's take down a small county first as a good start."

"Yes, we must win the first battle, so that we can inspire the fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers."

"That makes sense. Fighting is the most important thing for morale. If morale is not good, even if there are 10,000 soldiers, they may be defeated by 1,000 soldiers with high fighting spirit. Kill through, take down a city first, and then use the wealth in it to reward the soldiers under your command, so that they can be more motivated and more courageous in the battle."

Li Cheng and Wang Qing are both familiar with military books.

There are several different ways to inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers under your command.

If you can establish faith, military spirit, etc., this is undoubtedly the most cohesive, but they have just started to lead the army, and it is obviously impossible to establish any strong faith and military spirit in a short time.

In this way, to mobilize the fighting spirit of the soldiers under your command, you can only rely on rewarding wealth.

Relying on rewards of wealth and promotions to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers under his command has been a method used since ancient times.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under great rewards.

Gold, silver, land, promotion, and titles... these can all promote the fighting spirit of the soldiers under his command and make them fight to the death.

"Everyone, as long as we capture the mountain county of Yizhou, 70% of the wealth in the city will be used for rewards, and those who have made great military achievements will also be rewarded according to their merits, and achieve great achievements that will never be forgotten."

Zhou Shan and the other two gathered all the soldiers under their command and began pre-war mobilization.

The so-called pre-war mobilization is nothing more than promising various benefits.

If you want these soldiers to fight to the death, you must have enough benefits, and they will fight to the death.

"Yes!"

After Zhou Shan promised a lot of benefits, all the soldiers were extremely excited, and they all sharpened their knives and made full preparations.

"Let's go!"

After completing the pre-war mobilization, Zhou Shan gave an order, and the military order was as firm as a mountain. Everyone headed towards Shan County where Yizhou was located.

At the same time, the other two generals of 5,000 people, as well as the remaining generals of 3,000 people and 1,000 people, all chose other targets after knowing that Zhou Shan chose to go to Shan County.

Shan County is just a small county, not enough for so many people to attack together.

If they attack Shan County together, the benefits will be difficult to distribute at that time, and there will be conflicts because of this. There is no need for this.

Of course, this is also because Zhou Shan's strength is too strong. They are not sure that they can defeat Zhou Shan, and if they have a conflict because of such a small interest in Shan County, it will be very bad in the eyes of the four examiners.

……

……

Kill!

Kill!

The sound of chopping and killing spread more than ten miles away.

At this time, Shan County has completely become a battlefield.

Zhou Shan, Li Cheng and Wang Qing led their soldiers to attack Shan County at night.

Although Shan County was prepared, there were only 2,000 soldiers in the county. Even if some militiamen were recruited, there were only about 3,000 people in total. Because the South Dynasty and the North Dynasty of Dongying had fought each other, they had already recruited soldiers several times, and there were not many young and strong men in Shan County.

Zhou Shan led 5,000 people, Li Cheng and Wang Qing each had 1,000 people, a total of 7,000 soldiers, and each of them was well-equipped and wore refined armor to protect themselves.

These refined armors were made of leather and iron tanned materials, with strong protection, which could block ordinary arrows, and swords and guns could also do most of the damage.

Puff puff!

Zhou Shan supervised the battle in the rear, while Li Cheng and Wang Qing, two monks who had reached the fourth realm of refining spirits, used the Yin Shen Dharma to deal with the masters in Shan County. The Taoist magic was blasted out, like cutting leeks, and the soldiers and warriors in Shan County fell one after another.

This battle was one-sided. The soldiers of Shandao were defeated step by step. They were no match for the well-equipped soldiers of the East China Sea Navy. The city gate was soon lost.

The soldiers led by Zhou Shan rushed into Shan County.

The strength of Yizhou Shan County was far inferior to Baisha County. The highest cultivation level in the city was only the county lieutenant who reached the fourth level of blood exchange, and the rest of the warriors were at the third level of internal training.

Therefore, Li Cheng and Wang Qing, the core disciples of the White Bone Dao, were enough to capture Shan County.

The county soldiers of Shan County were defeated. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the major families in the city surrendered one after another, expressing their willingness to submit, and sent the family's gold, silver and jewelry to buy their lives.

In response, Zhou Shan also accepted the surrender of these families.

The Daqian Kingdom attacked Dongying Kingdom, not to destroy all the people in Dongying, but to occupy this country and incorporate Dongying into its territory, so it naturally could not kill too much.

To rule here, the cooperation of local gentry is also needed.

Otherwise, even if the land is occupied, there will be constant unrest, which will only involve more energy.

Since the gentry families in Shan County are willing to offer gold, silver and jewelry to buy their lives, Zhou Shan is naturally happy to see it. For ordinary gold and silver items, Zhou Shan also took out 70% to reward his soldiers as stated in the pre-war mobilization, and the remaining 30% was naturally divided among Zhou Shan, Li Cheng and Wang Qing.

Zhou Shan alone took 20%, and the remaining 10% was half each for Li Cheng and Wang Qing.

Fighting is to make a fortune.

Although Zhou Shan only obtained 20% of the wealth, if it was converted into silver, it would exceed one million taels. Whether it is practicing the immortal way or the martial arts, it costs money.

After reaching the fourth level of blood exchange, if you want to improve your blood and qi, ordinary food is not enough. You need to take elixirs to strengthen your blood and qi. The blood and qi pills taken by warriors in the first, second and third levels cost fifty taels of silver each.

After the blood and qi of the fourth level blood exchange warriors have broken through the limit three times, ordinary blood and qi pills can't improve much blood and qi at all. This requires taking higher-level dragon blood pills.

The price of dragon blood pills is six times that of ordinary blood and qi pills, and one costs three hundred taels of silver.

In addition, Zhou Shan has to take marrow washing pills every day. At this time, he has started the second marrow washing.

"Taoism, corpse resurrection!"

"Taoism, corpse control!"

Zhou Shan came to the outside of the city, and his soul moved, and the corpse demon king Yin Shen Dharma appeared in the void.

Immediately afterwards, the corpse demon king Yin Shen Dharma raised his hand, and dense Taoist runes appeared in the void. These Taoist runes fell from the air and formed an extremely mysterious formation.

In this formation, the dead soldiers were resurrected at this moment.

Of course, the resurrection of this corpse is not a real resurrection, and it does not have its own independent consciousness. It is similar to the zombies at the end of the world, but these corpses resurrected by Zhou Shan are controlled by Zhou Shan.

"Taoism, this is the Taoism mastered by immortal practitioners!"

"How terrible, it can actually resurrect dead bodies."

"This weird method is not something we can resist."

"..."

Some wealthy families in Shan County were extremely shocked when they saw this scene.

There are also immortal practitioners in Dongying, but the number is extremely rare, and most of them originated from the continent where Daqian is located. There are remnants of the previous Dazhou, or even more ancient dynasties.

When these dynasties were defeated, some people fled overseas to survive.

Even some overseas countries were established by the royal family of previous dynasties. Even if they did not establish a country, they also occupied a dominant position in some small countries and belonged to the top forces.

In Daqian country, some ordinary counties are basically full of immortal monks. The same is true in Dongying country. Every immortal monk belongs to the nobility. Only in the state capital can you see immortal monks.

Therefore, seeing Zhou Shan perform Taoism, these wealthy families in Shan County were extremely shocked. It was the first time they saw such a mysterious method.

These dead people were "resurrected" by Zhou Shan using Taoism. At this time, his spirit also established a spiritual connection with these corpses, which could control this army of corpses.

"Leave 300 people to garrison Shan County, and the rest will follow me to attack Tao County!"

After a night's rest, Zhou Shan led 6,900 people and this army of corpses to Tao County.

Tao County is more than 100 miles away from Shan County. It is a county with more than 200,000 people. Its strength is much stronger than Shan County. However, facing Zhou Shan leading the army to attack the city, and there is also a fearless army of corpses in front, someone died in Tao County and was immediately resurrected by Zhou Shan using Taoism, thus becoming a member of the army of corpses.

The more they fought, the more corpses Zhou Shan had, the more they became.

Faced with this horrific scene, the psychological defenses of ordinary soldiers were directly broken.

"Ghost!"

"The dead are resurrected. We can't resist such means."

"Immortal, we are against the immortal, we can't win."

"Run, everyone, run!"

After the psychological defenses of the soldiers in Tao County were broken, they immediately lost their fighting spirit and fled directly.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Zhou Shan shouted loudly, and the sound like thunder spread throughout the county.

The soldiers who rushed into the county also shouted loudly again and again that those who surrendered would not be killed. Seeing that the situation was over, some forces in the city surrendered decisively one by one. As long as their lives were still there, they could make a comeback.

As long as the green mountains are there, there is no fear of running out of firewood.

Even if Daqian conquered the Southern Dynasty of Dongying, it would definitely need someone to rule it. If they wanted to control the conquered territory as quickly as possible, they would need the cooperation of these local wealthy families.

In this way, Zhou Shan successfully conquered another city.

These forces all took the initiative to offer treasures and some rare treasures.

They also knew that even if they did not offer their wealth, they would most likely not be able to keep it, and all the wealth would be taken away by the army. Instead of this, it would be better to hand it over voluntarily, so as to leave a good impression.

"Hey, this is the sun gem."

Zhou Shan found a fist-sized gem that emitted terrible heat from a pile of treasures.

This gem is the sun gem.

The cultivation method of the Sunlight Bodhisattva Image records some heavenly and earthly wonders, such as the sun gem, the immortal sun vine, the sun flower, etc. These heavenly and earthly wonders are all natural treasures that have reached the 'spiritual' level, containing the power of the sun's fire essence. Absorbing the sun's fire essence power can speed up the condensation speed of the Sunlight Bodhisattva Image.

"With this sun gem, maybe I can condense the third Dharma image, the Sunlight Bodhisattva Image!"

Immediately, Zhou Shan ordered the army to rest in Tao County for a few days. After he absorbed the power of the sun's fire essence in the sun gem and condensed the Sunlight Bodhisattva Image, he would continue to attack the county.

This assessment lasted a full month, and only two days had passed. There was still plenty of time left. There was no need to rush. It was more important to improve the cultivation first.

"Sunlight Bodhisattva!"

Zhou Shan sat cross-legged on the ground, and his soul immediately visualized the Sunlight Bodhisattva, and then began to absorb sunlight.

At the same time, the sun gem in front of him was absorbed and also emitted strands of extremely terrifying sun essence. The temperature emitted by this sun essence was much more terrifying than the sunlight condensed by Zhou Shan.

After all, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and it was unknown how far away it was from the ground. It was probably tens of thousands of meters, or even hundreds of thousands of meters high. The sunlight shining down would naturally become very weak after passing such a long distance. Ordinary people could bear it, but the strands of sun essence emitted from the sun gem could directly ignite trees and gather on people, which could directly roast people.

If a cultivator who has just condensed a human-shaped soul absorbs the energy of the sun's fire rashly, his soul will be burned into nothingness by the sun's fire in an instant, and not a trace of soul will be left.

However, Zhou Shan's soul has been tempered and condensed into the Medicine Master Liuli Guang Wang Xiang and the Corpse Demon King Dharma, and he also absorbs moonlight and sunlight to practice on weekdays, so he has a certain resistance to the power of the sun's fire.

Moreover, with the existence of the Medicine Master Liuli Guang Wang Xiang, even if the soul is injured, it can recover quickly under the healing of the Medicine Master Liuli Guang Wang Xiang.

In this way, Zhou Shan continued to absorb the energy of the sun's fire in the sun gem.

The temperature around him continued to rise, and soon it turned into a furnace, with a temperature of more than 100 degrees, and this temperature was still rising. The wind blowing between heaven and earth was also a hot wind.

Zhou Shan's soul also became more and more dazzling, and the Great Sun Talisman showed the virtual image of the Sunlight Bodhisattva.

"It's so hot!"

"It's December now, how can it be so hot?"

"It's abnormal that we can feel the heat!"

"What's going on? Why is it so hot all of a sudden?"

"This heat seems to be coming from inside."

"It's General Zhou in the mansion. Is it because of General Zhou's practice?"

"..."

The soldiers around the yard immediately felt something was wrong.

You know, it's December now. Although there is no winter in Japan due to its geographical location, the temperature in December is only about 10 to 20 degrees, which is impossible for people to feel hot.

Something must be wrong when something is abnormal.

Just as the soldier was about to enter the mansion to check, a voice stopped him. Li Cheng and Wang Qing appeared and said lightly: "Don't be alarmed. This is General Zhou practicing. If you feel hot and can't bear it, stay away."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the soldiers immediately moved away from the mansion.

Li Cheng and Wang Zhuang stood outside the mansion to protect Zhou Shan and prevent him from being disturbed by others.

"Brother Zhou Shan is refining the Sunlight Bodhisattva image!"

"Looking at the movement, it should be correct."

"Brother Zhou Shan has already condensed the Medicine Master Liuli Light King Image and the Corpse Demon King Dharma Image. Now if he successfully condenses the Sunlight Bodhisattva Image, he will have three Yin God Dharma Images."

"Once the Sunlight Bodhisattva Image is condensed, Brother Zhou Shan's strength will be further improved."

"Perhaps, Brother Zhou Shan can really become a true disciple."

"..."

Li Cheng and Wang Qing looked at each other and saw a message in each other's eyes.

That is Zhou Shan, with a bright future.

In addition, the inheritance Zhou Shan obtained has been confirmed by the headquarters. There is no problem. As long as Zhou Shan returns to the headquarters and passes the test without any problem, he can join the sect.

Since the senior surnamed Xue can become a true disciple, he must have some relatives and friends in the sect. More than a hundred years have passed. If these relatives and friends have not died, they have at least broken through to the sixth realm.

Zhou Shan did not join the sect without any background.

Because of the relationship with the senior surnamed Xue, he will definitely be taken care of by the elders in the sect.

With the talent shown by Zhou Shan, plus the care and resource supply of the elders in the sect, there is a high probability that he will condense nine Yin God Dharma images before the age of 30 and break through the barrier of life and death to the fifth realm.

Once he breaks through to the fifth realm and becomes a true disciple, he will be a quasi-high-level person in the White Bone Dao.

In terms of status, it is higher than their master who is an elder.

While Zhou Shan has not entered the main altar yet and lacks useful people around him, try every means to become Zhou Shan's own people. Once Zhou Shan becomes a true disciple, it will be of great benefit.

Once Zhou Shan enters the main altar, there will be too many disciples who want to get close to him, and perhaps it will not be their turn.

Li Cheng and Wang Qing knew that this was their opportunity.

If they obeyed Zhou Shan's orders before because of their master's orders, then now that they know that Zhou Shan is about to condense the Sunlight Bodhisattva image and know that Zhou Shan has unlimited potential, they are willing to guard outside the mansion like a bodyguard, not allowing anyone to disturb Zhou Shan's practice.

Time passed little by little.

Zhou Shan was immersed in practice, quickly absorbing the solar essence contained in the sun gem.

As more and more solar essence was absorbed, the Sunlight Bodhisattva image became more and more condensed. A huge Sunlight Bodhisattva image appeared above the mansion, with a solemn appearance and emitting infinite light and heat.

At this moment, not only the people around the mansion saw this Sunlight Bodhisattva, but even across several streets, in different districts, they also saw this solemn and dignified Sunlight Bodhisattva, which radiated light and heat.

"Bodhisattva, this is a Bodhisattva appearing."

"Quick, kneel down and pay homage to the Bodhisattva!"

"Erwa, kneel down quickly."

"Bodhisattva appeared, Bodhisattva appeared!"

When the people in the city saw the Sunlight Bodhisattva, even if they had never seen it before, when they saw this Sunlight Bodhisattva, they knew in their minds and hearts that it was a great Bodhisattva.

In the country of Dongying, there are also legends about Buddha and immortals. Some people believe in Buddhism, and some believe in Taoism.

At this moment, seeing the appearance of the Sunlight Bodhisattva, ordinary people thought it was a real Bodhisattva appearing, and they all knelt down without hesitation, hoping that the Bodhisattva could bless them.

It is so simple for immortal monks to preach and expand believers.

As long as the Yin Shen Dharma image that they have condensed is manifested, it is like a real Buddha or immortal appearing.

"Sunlight Bodhisattva Image, it's done!"

In the mansion, Zhou Shan slowly opened his eyes.

The sun essence in the sun gem has been completely absorbed by him, but he has also successfully condensed the sun Bodhisattva image, and his cultivation has been further improved.

He has condensed three of the nine Yin God Dharma images.

With a thought, the sun Bodhisattva image returned to the soul in the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, and the glowing Taoist runes gradually disappeared. Zhou Shan stood up and put away the sun gem.

Although the sun essence in the sun gem was completely absorbed by him, this is because the sun gem is a natural treasure that has reached the "spiritual level", and naturally it has its magical features. Even if the sun essence in it is completely absorbed, it can still absorb the sun's energy little by little and store it under the sun and be illuminated by the sun, turning it into sun essence.

However, this time may be measured in "years".

Zhou Shan condensed the Sunlight Bodhisattva image and used the Taoist magic to guide the sun's fire to fall. The power of the sun's fire was extremely overbearing. The general fourth-level spiritual cultivators could not bear it at all. But if it was injected into the sun gem, it could be transformed into a relatively mild sun essence after being tempered by the sun gem.

In this way, other spiritual cultivators can absorb the sun's essence from the sun gem to practice.

This is the true value of the sun gem. As long as it is in the hands of a cultivator who has condensed the Yin God Dharma image related to the sun, it can be used continuously, and it is more valuable than a disposable spiritual object.
