I can infinitely improve my spiritual attributes

Boom!

At this moment, Yang Tian, ​​the core disciple of the Yingtian Dao headquarters, also attacked the four-level blood exchange warriors in Yicheng. Three powerful Yin God Dharma images appeared above his head.

The three powerful Yin God Dharma images were led by a Taoist who was wearing a purple robe and had a halo behind his head, like a god's residence.

"Jiuxiao Yingtian Puhua Tianzun!"

Zhou Shan, who came quickly, saw Yang Tian offering three Yin God Dharma images and immediately recognized their origins.

The Taoism and visualization methods of Yingtian Dao are all related to thunder.

Among them, the visualization method of the Yingtian Dao is to visualize Jiuxiao Yingtian Puhua Tianzun, who controls life and death, rewards and punishes good and evil, controls clouds and rain, slays demons and demons, and commands thunder.

Jiuxiao Yingtian Puhua Tianzun commands all thunders in the world.

The nine Yin God Dharma images condensed by the cultivators who have reached the fourth level of spiritual cultivation are also related to thunder.

However, if you want to visualize Jiuxiao Yingtian Puhua Tianzun, you have to go to the main temple to be qualified to learn.

The other two Yin Shen Dharma images, the Thunder God image with a bird head and human body and wings, and the Bishui Leishou image that controls the power of water thunder, different thunder powers have their own wonderful uses.

Boom!

The terrible thunder power surged out from the three Yin Shen Dharma images, turning into thunder grass, thunder sword, thunder knife, thunder ball and other attacks, and blasted towards the four realms of blood exchange warriors in Yicheng.

The Taoist arts performed by the cultivator who condensed three Yin Shen Dharma images, even if they are the same Taoist arts, because of the different realms of cultivation, the power is far greater than that of the cultivator who condensed one Yin Shen Dharma image.

The four-level blood-exchanging warriors in Yicheng have only forged one Qi and blood image. Facing Yang Tian's Taoist attack, even if all of them join forces, it is difficult to resist. The terrible thunder force breaks through their Qi and blood defense and pours into their bodies.

Puff puff puff——

These warriors who only forged one Qi and blood image vomited blood one after another.

This is still the case when the warrior who forged two Qi and blood images blocked most of the power. If it weren't for this warrior, they would be seriously injured in a single encounter.

But if this goes on, they still can't hold on for long.

At this time, Zhou Shan also came to the wall of Yicheng.

"Zhou Shan, Little Marquis Beimo and his men didn't stop you!"

At this time, Yang Tian also noticed Zhou Shan's arrival, and when he saw the three Yin God Dharma images and two Qi and blood images on Zhou Shan's head, he couldn't help showing a look of shock on his face.

If Zhou Shan only showed the strength he showed during the skill assessment in the East China Sea Navy Camp, he would be confident that he could fight Zhou Shan, and it would probably be a draw.

But he never expected that after only half a month of separation, Zhou Shan actually condensed the third Yin God Dharma Image, the Sunlight Bodhisattva Image, and also forged the second Qi and Blood Image.

This strength is incomparable.

"Yang Tian, ​​I want this Yicheng. If you don't accept it, let's fight."

Zhou Shan said lightly.

As soon as the voice fell, the terrible power of the soul and a strong Qi and blood pressed towards Yang Tian.

Immediately, Yang Tian felt a tidal wave of power coming towards him.

In terms of soul strength, Yang Tian may not be much weaker than Zhou Shan, but there is a huge gap in the physical body. His martial arts cultivation has only reached the third realm of internal organ training perfection, and he has not yet forged the Qi and Blood Image.

If the physical body is hidden and the soul is out of the shell to fight, Yang Tian may not be afraid of Zhou Shan. Everyone has condensed three Yin God Dharma Images. It is hard to say who will win or lose, but his physical body is here at this time.

With the three Yin God Dharma Images restrained, Zhou Shan quickly and easily got close.

Once someone gets close to him, a cultivator of the third realm of internal organs training against a cultivator of the fourth realm of blood exchange will be like a small person being beaten with one punch. He can't resist Zhou Shan's attack at all, and his physical body will be blown up directly.

If a cultivator of the fourth realm of spiritual training hides his physical body so that no one can find it, he can do whatever he wants in battle, fight whenever he wants, and leave whenever he wants.

Otherwise, the physical body is the flaw.

Unless you are like Zhou Shan, a cultivator of immortality and martial arts, and you have also reached the fourth realm of blood exchange, you are not afraid of being approached.

Of course, if you have condensed nine Yin God Dharma images in the practice of immortality, and the martial arts have just forged a blood image, for cultivators of this level, the physical body is still the flaw.

"Zhou Shan, I will let you take over Yicheng for the time being. I will fight you again after I have cultivated the Xuandu Thunder Heavenly Scripture to perfection."

Yang Tian snorted coldly, put away the Yin God Dharma image, and quickly left.

However, he did not think that he was inferior to Zhou Shan in his heart. He was just limited by his physical body and his martial arts cultivation was not as good as the other party, so he had to compromise. If he had hidden his physical body in advance, he would have to fight Zhou Shan.

But Yang Tian forgot that if it was a real life-and-death fight, the enemy would not be able to prepare you, and accidents could happen anytime and anywhere.

"If you want to fight with me, I'll accompany you at any time."

Zhou Shan smiled slightly and did not take Yang Tian's words to heart.

This Yang Tian, ​​with the support of the big tree of Yingtian Dao, had only condensed three Yin Shen Dharma images at this time. His cultivation in the immortal way was not as good as his. The longer time passed, the greater the gap between the two would be.

As soon as Yang Tian left, all the soldiers under his command also retreated.

However, the soldiers led by Zhou Shan were behind and would arrive soon.

As long as the four-level blood exchange warriors in Yicheng were killed, Yicheng would be his possession.

"Sunlight Bodhisattva, Sun Essence Fire, Flames Burning the Sky!"

The Sunlight Bodhisattva image on Zhou Shan's head flew out, and flames gathered all over his body, flying towards one of the four-level blood exchange warriors.

The flames burning in the Sunlight Bodhisattva image were not ordinary flames, but the sun's essence fire that could burn everything. The sun's essence fire enveloped a four-level blood exchange warrior.

"Ah!"

The four-level blood exchange warrior suddenly let out a miserable cry.

Not long after, the four-level blood exchange warrior was burned to ashes by the sun's essence fire.

"Heavenly Wood Divine Needle!"

"Poisonous Handprint!"

"White Bone Demon Bottle!"

Then, Zhou Shan performed three more Taoist magics.

In the void, there were green divine needles gathered, and countless divine needles shot towards another four-level blood exchange warrior.

This four-level blood exchange warrior was shot by densely packed Heavenly Wood Divine Needles, and the flesh, bones, and membranes in his body immediately began to turn into wood. Even if he mobilized the blood and qi to resist frantically, it was useless.

After a while, this person turned into a wooden sculpture.

At the same time, the two great Dao arts, the Poisonous Handprint and the White Bone Magic Bottle, were both blasted towards the other two fourth-level blood exchange warriors.

Under the Poisonous Handprint, the body of the fourth-level blood exchange warrior was like being hit by extremely strong sulfuric acid, and the flesh was corroded and melted bit by bit, and soon turned into a pile of poisonous water.

In the White Bone Magic Bottle, the Soul-Destroying Divine Light of All Spirits flew out immediately, and instantly annihilated the soul of a fourth-level blood exchange warrior.

With Zhou Shan's current strength, ordinary fourth-level blood exchange warriors are not his opponents at all.

Of course, this is also because these fourth-level blood exchange warriors have been defeated by Yang Tian, ​​and they have been injured. The thunder power in their bodies has not been expelled. At this time, facing Zhou Shan's Dao attack, they have no power to resist at all.

Otherwise, Zhou Shan would have to take two or three moves to kill them.

"This boy's strength is stronger than the previous one, run away!"

Seeing this, the remaining five warriors who have reached the fourth level of blood exchange immediately turned around and ran away.

These people all fled in separate places.

"Sword Controlling Technique, Ten Thousand Swords Style!"

Zhou Shan controlled the flying sword with his mind, bursting out endless sword energy, slashing at these fleeing people.

Puff puff puff puff --

These warriors all endured hundreds or thousands of sword energy attacks, and were injured on top of injuries. At this time, Li Cheng and Wang Qing also used Taoist techniques to blast these seriously injured fourth-level warriors.

At the same time, Zhou Shan also mobilized the power of the Earth Flying Bear and exerted the power of the earth on these warriors.

Suddenly, these warriors seemed to be pressed by a mountain, and their bodies became slow.

"Kill!"

Li Cheng and Wang Qing directly left their bodies and manifested the Yin God Dharma.

There is a difference between the soul leaving the body to manifest the Yin God Dharma and the soul just urging the Yin God Dharma. If the soul leaves the body, the power of the Yin God Dharma is stronger, but there is a fatal flaw, that is, the flesh cannot move.

If only the spirit activates the Yin Shen Dharma Image, and the spirit does not leave the body, then it can control the body, but the power of the Yin Shen Dharma Image cannot be exerted to the maximum, and it cannot be too far away from the body.

If the spirit leaves the body, then it will not matter even if it is dozens of miles away from the body.

After a while, the battle ended.

Except for the warrior who cast two Qi and Blood Images and escaped, the rest of the warriors were all killed.

"Surrender, we surrender!"

"Don't kill us, we can help you stabilize the people."

"We surrender!"

"..."

Seeing that the four-level blood exchange warriors died or fled, the soldiers of Yicheng immediately lost their fighting spirit, took the initiative to open the city gate, and gave up resistance.

In this way, Zhou Shan successfully took over Yicheng.

Yicheng is the state capital of Yizhou, which is equivalent to the county capital of Dacang County.

Even if some of the top families and first-class families have moved their clans, the wealth left by other families is still very considerable.

In addition to the rewards given to his soldiers, some officers, Li Cheng and Wang Qing, Zhou Shan had more than three million taels of silver, as well as jewelry, jade and other items worth millions.

In addition, there were armor, swords, bows and arrows and other weapons.

At this time, Zhou Shan's wealth, in terms of silver alone, was more than 10 million taels. In addition to money, jewelry, weapons and other items, Zhou Shan also obtained a lot of martial arts secrets.

Ordinary martial arts secrets were of no use to Zhou Shan, but among these martial arts secrets, there were true intentions for casting qi and blood phases, and each true intention was extremely precious.

To cast qi and blood phases, true intentions and spiritual objects of heaven and earth are indispensable.

However, spiritual objects between heaven and earth are extremely rare. In the process of searching for spiritual objects of heaven and earth, luck is often relied on, and it is not clear what kind of spiritual objects of heaven and earth can be obtained. Therefore, the more true intentions you have in your hands, the more spiritual objects of heaven and earth you get, and you can find the corresponding true intentions of qi and blood phases from them.

"Almost done, take Yicheng, and I'll basically be the first with my contribution."

Zhou Shan stopped attacking.

The Japanese Kingdom has only 17 states in total.

Among them, the Southern Dynasty only occupied 7 states, and among these 7 states, Toyama State had long been captured by the East China Sea Navy. Now he has occupied Yi State, and Zuo State is also under attack.

In addition, there are two states that have been captured by the Northern Dynasty.

In this way, there are only two states in the hands of the Southern Dynasty, one of which is the capital of the Southern Dynasty. It is so powerful that even the East China Sea Navy dare not attack rashly.

If the East China Sea Navy wants to conquer the Southern Dynasty, it must transfer more troops and masters from the Daqian Kingdom.

Moreover, if it is to conquer the Southern Dynasty, it will have to directly confront the Northern Dynasty, which requires mobilizing more forces, so the strategy of the East China Sea Navy is just to conquer the three states of Fushanzhou, Yizhou and Zuozhou first.

Zhou Shan conquered Yicheng and was already sitting on the Diaoyutai.

However, the time for the assessment has not yet arrived, so Zhou Shan stayed in Yicheng to practice, and every day he guided the sun's essence fire to flow into the sun gem, and soon filled the sun gem.

The sun gem can transform the violent sun's essence fire into a relatively mild sun's essence. As long as the sun's essence fire is transformed into sun's essence, Zhou Shan can use it to practice the Great Sun Golden Body, and then cast the Great Sun Golden Body Qi and Blood Phase.

Time passed little by little.

Soon, a month arrived.

The actual combat assessment of this year's military examination ended here.

The corresponding report of merit was also sent directly from the East China Sea Navy Camp to the capital by Pegasus.

Since it was a military merit, it naturally had to be sent to the Ministry of War first. However, because it was a military examination, and it was jointly hosted by the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, the report of merit was not only submitted to the Ministry of War, but also to the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites.

After these departments reviewed it, they submitted it to the cabinet.

The cabinet ministers jointly reviewed it and confirmed that it was correct before submitting it to the emperor.

If an ordinary person wanted to go from Donghai Prefecture to the capital, riding an ordinary fast horse, it would take several months to travel a thousand miles a day. However, the report of merit from the court, and it was a military examination, the most important thing, was to use Pegasus to rush the journey, and it took ten days to reach the capital.

Pegasus is a kind of monster trained by the court. If it flies at full speed, it can travel ten thousand miles a day. There is a post station in each prefecture where Pegasus can be replaced.

Above Pegasus, there are Jiaoma, Longma, Tianma, etc., which can travel tens of thousands of miles a day, or even hundreds of thousands of miles.

However, the number of Jiaoma, Longma, and Tianma is very rare.

Jiaoma is generally used by the royal family to reward officials, which is a symbol of status, while Longma is generally only used by the royal family. Tianma is even rarer, and it has the strength of reaching the sixth realm. There are only three known Tianma.

Two of them are kept in the palace, one male and one female.

The other Tianma is the mount of a Tianshi who has reached the seventh realm of the immortal way in the Tiansheng Sect.

It takes twenty days to travel back and forth.

In the middle, the various departments of the court reported the merit documents layer by layer, and then to the cabinet. It took three days for the emperor to review and approve it. This is because of the martial arts imperial examination, and the efficiency is relatively fast.

Otherwise, it would take a lot of time just for the cabinet ministers to argue with each other.

It was already 23 days later when the news reached the East China Sea Navy Camp. Zhou Shan won the title of champion as expected, while Li Cheng and Wang Qing won the title of second-class Jinshi.

The 111 people who successfully won the title of Jinshi followed the four examiners to the capital. They would receive rewards from the court. The so-called rewards were actually official titles.

Wu Tongsheng, Wu Xiucai, and Wu Juren could be appointed by local officials.

However, when they reached the level of Wu Jinshi, they would be registered in the Ministry of Personnel and appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. Even if they were allowed to serve as officials in local areas, local officials would not have the right to dismiss them. If they wanted to dismiss officials with the title of Wu Jinshi, they would need the consent of the Ministry of Personnel. Officials with the title of Wu Juren and other titles appointed and dismissed by local officials did not need to go through the Ministry of Personnel. They could be dismissed with a word from the prefect.

It can be said that those with the title of Wu Jinshi were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel, while those who joined the army were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Local officials and the army had no right to appoint and dismiss them.

If the top three are in the first class, they will be in the emperor's eyes and appointed by the emperor himself. If they have not committed any serious mistakes, even the Ministry of Personnel will not dismiss them at will.

The top three are appointed by the emperor himself.

Ten days later.

One hundred and eleven people who have obtained the title of Jinshi came to the capital.

"Brother Zhou, what official position do you think the emperor will give you?"

After arriving in the capital, Zhou Shan and others waited for the emperor's call in the post station.

However, only the top three are the top three, and the emperor decides what official position they will be given. The rest of the second and third Jinshi will be awarded what kind of official position by the Ministry of Personnel. After the list of awards is drawn up, it will be handed over to the emperor, and then read out after paying homage to the emperor at the grand court meeting.

At this time, people with connections have already gone to the Ministry of Personnel to make connections.

Li Cheng and Wang Qing, as core disciples of the White Bone Sect, naturally have strong backgrounds. Naturally, someone in their family can help them smooth out the relationship. However, Zhou Shan is the top scholar, so he doesn't need to run around for connections.

Speaking of running around for connections, who can speak in front of the emperor?

Only a martial saint who has reached the seventh level, or a seventh level heavenly master, can speak in front of the emperor.

Otherwise, it's the concubines in the harem.

"Although Brother Zhou has not officially entered the mountain gate, what he has received is the inheritance of our White Bone Dao. After the reward is over, he can return to the main altar with us to hold an initiation ceremony. If he wants to be rewarded, it will most likely be from the power of our White Bone Dao. It is impossible for officials within this scope to be rewarded in other prefectures.”

Li Chengdao.

"It is also possible that he is an official of Donghai Prefecture." Wang Qing said: "After all, Brother Zhou is from Donghai Prefecture. It is not impossible if he is awarded a reward to Dacang County of Donghai Prefecture. With Brother Zhou's reputation as the number one scholar, he will be a full fifth-rank official at the beginning. "

"I don't have any problem, it just depends on how the emperor arranges it."

Zhou Shan smiled and said.
