Mortal Immortal Gourd

Xia Mingyuan stood on a small hill in the center of Qingzhou City, overlooking the entire city.

He hadn't been in such a good mood for several years.

Today, he was in a good mood. Standing on the top of the mountain, he felt the sun and the breeze blowing on his face, and he felt like he was floating in the air.

After so many years of investment, the group of alchemists he secretly trained could already refine Peiyuan Pills and Juqi Pills.

Qingzhou has quite a few spiritual fields, and a large number of spiritual medicines can be grown every year.

But he didn't have an alchemist, so he could only exchange spiritual medicines with the alchemy room for pills.

The alchemy room was firmly controlled by the court, and the entire Great Zhou Dynasty had only one family, eating alone.

The price was so expensive that even a black-hearted person like Xia Mingyuan sighed that he was inferior.

Peiyuan Pills and Juqi Pills are the most commonly used pills in the Qi Refining Period, which can speed up the practice of Qi Refining Period.

With the concentration of spiritual energy in the current cultivation world, if there is no assistance from pills and spiritual objects, and most people practice meditation for a lifetime, it is difficult to break through the middle stage of Qi Refining.

If you master the alchemy technique, you will be able to cultivate a large number of grassroots immortal cultivators in the future, allowing your forces to grow rapidly.

Although the Qi training stage is the lowest level, it is the foundation. A tall building rises from the ground, and a very strong foundation is needed.

And since you have already broken through the alchemy technique of the Qi training stage, it should not be far from refining the foundation-building pill.

Xia Mingyue stood on the top of the mountain, watching the unruly people in the city busy like ants, and his mood became even happier, with a sense of being the king of the world.

One day, he will stand on the clouds and look down on the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the entire world of immortal cultivation.

Just as he was imagining the future and full of ambition, Xia Qingshan hurriedly climbed up the mountain.

Xia Mingyuan frowned, and seeing Xia Qingshan's hurried look, he had a premonition that it might not be good news.

Alas... eight out of ten people are not satisfied with their lives.

But after he has gone through the ups and downs, he will eventually stand on the clouds and look down on all living beings.

"What's the matter?" Xia Mingyuan asked impatiently.

"Reporting to the master, the demon army launched a surprise attack last night and occupied six counties in Heishui County."

Xia Qingshan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Crazy!"

"Are these demons crazy? They are getting more and more aggressive. Do they really think I'm easy to bully?"

Xia Mingyuan was furious, and his clothes fluttered without wind.

Xia Qingshan didn't dare to speak, because the demons had tasted the sweetness several times and really thought that the Qingzhou army was easy to bully.

"Where are the people guarding the border? Why did they collapse so badly overnight?"

Xia Mingyuan felt that he had raised a group of good-for-nothings. They looked decent at ordinary times, but they collapsed step by step when facing the demons.

"We only have 2,000 Qi training, over 100 foundation building cultivators, and 3 Jindan at the border with the monsters.

And they are scattered along the entire defense line, and not many people are assigned to each place."

"This time, we invited people to secretly gather 3 Jindan, over 100 foundation building, and 4,000 Qi training to launch a surprise attack."

"The border guards were caught off guard, and one Jindan died in the battle..."

Xia Qingshan reported the specific losses, and Xia Mingyuan became more and more angry.

"Quickly mobilize all the people, and make sure to give the monsters a hard time."

"At present, at most, we can mobilize a few foundation building and Jindan cultivators to participate in the war, and the others cannot be mobilized."

Xia Qingshan wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and said a little helplessly.

"Why? Who dares not to obey the order?"

"It's not that anyone dares not to obey the order, but Qi training and foundation building cultivators have to eat, and we don't have enough civilians to transport food and grass."

Xia Qingshan explained hurriedly.

And the reality is even more troublesome. Due to the problem of population loss, the entire Qingzhou has not collected much food in recent years.

Originally, the army could use marching pills, which are light and easy to carry.

But now there is no food, so where can the marching pills come from? The inventory is pitifully small, and can only supply a few foundation-building monks.

"Let the foundation-building monks carry the marching pills and set off first to reinforce the front line."

"Others will each carry 100 kilograms of food on their own and arrive later."

Xia Qingshan received the order and could only arrange it in this way.

It's just that the Qi-refining monks have a large appetite, and 100 kilograms of ordinary food can't last for a few days.

And everyone marches with a load, so the speed is even slower.

Looking at Xia Qingshan's hurriedly leaving back, Xia Mingyuan's good mood was gone.

But in this world, blessings never come alone, and disasters never come alone, and hemp ropes are always broken at the thinnest.

Half a day after Xia Qingshan left, news came back again.

Qingzhou reinforcements don't need to go to Heishui County.

Because the entire Heishui Army was captured by monsters.

At this moment, the demons were in high spirits and were continuing to attack a neighboring Black Mountain County.

The reinforcements sent over had just arrived at the border of Black Mountain County, and then the border was lost again.

The demon army used more than 100 black iron puppets with foundation-building strength.

These puppets were made of strong materials and were fearless of death. They were arranged in several rows and pressed directly towards the Qingzhou army.

It was like a copper wall and iron wall that could not be shaken.

When the Qingzhou army encountered such a puppet army, they could only continue to collapse backwards. If they were blocked, they would turn into meat paste.

The demons continued to advance forward, and the Qingzhou army continued to retreat backwards. They had already lost their fighting spirit and often fled at the sight of the wind.

In less than two days, Black Water County was also lost.

The demons were still advancing...

Xia Mingyuan saw the battle report from the front line. In a short period of time, two counties had been lost.

Overall, five counties of his Qingzhou had been occupied by demons.

Xia Mingyuan finally tasted the bitter fruit of colluding with the demons and letting them enter the country.

A trace of regret rose in his heart.

Thinking back to the past, when the National Defense Army was still there, the demons dared not be so rampant.

The big rock he lifted finally fell on his feet.

It was a painful realization, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine to sell in this world.

Otherwise, he would also like to buy two kilograms to try.

Xia Mingyuan crumpled the battle report in his hand into a ball of ash, and his figure turned into a green light and flew towards the direction of the demon army.
