The system is a broken bowl

If Ling Chengen only admired Song Chen just now, he is definitely satisfied now.

"Uncle Ling is too praiseworthy!"

Song Chen hurriedly said humbly: "Boy, I am just a master of my own craft. I don't know how high the level of the world is!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Ling Chengen laughed. "Then tell me, the enemy has three masters in the Condensing Yuan Realm, and there are dozens of them in the Tianjin Realm. On the Emperor's side, he is the only one in the Condensing Yuan Realm, and there are not many in the Tianjin Realm. Plus me, there are not many. How can we fight this battle if we only have half the enemy?”

Song Chen thought for a while and said calmly: "Whether it's a foreign war or an internal battle, strength is important, but the final victory may not necessarily belong to the stronger side.

Of course, if a weaker party wants to win, it cannot fight head-on with a stronger enemy face to face. Concealment, detours, differentiation, disintegration, and even selling out some benefits are all strategies that the weak can and must adopt. "

Song Chen talked eloquently.

In his previous life, he majored in history in college and was also a military fan.

Modern warfare also pays attention to asymmetric warfare, let alone the era of cold weapons.

"Come on, come on! Tell Uncle Ling about your strategies in detail. Xuan'er, go make a pot of tea."

Ling Chengen swept away the gloom of many days and became interested. He even thought that just because Song Chen could say these words, he would be more than enough to serve as a captain of thousands in the army.

"okay!"

Ling Zixuan was also very happy. After agreeing, she hurriedly went to make tea.

"I think that the Emperor should try his best to avoid a premature showdown with the enemy and endure whatever should be tolerated and should not be tolerated."

Song Chen's interest was also high. "Of course, just being patient won't work. After you gain a little breathing space, you must try to find the enemy's loopholes.

There is absolutely no monolithic camp in the world! The emperor may use high-ranking officials and generous salaries, or use beauties and beauties, or use magical elixirs, he will definitely be able to divide and disintegrate some of the enemies.

Once someone accepts the emperor's sugar-coated bullets, even if they cannot be fully used by the emperor, they will still tip off the emperor. At least, they will not try their best in future battles.

Don't be stingy with your wealth, just like investment, these things will work sooner or later and bring greater returns..."

The more Ling Chengen listened, the more frightened he became. Is this kid still a fifteen-year-old boy? He is simply a manipulative strategist and military strategist!

At first, I thought he was just a commander-in-chief, but now it seems that even if he is allowed to command thousands of troops, it is no problem!

…

In the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion, Song Chen and Ling Zixuan were having a drink and relaxing.

"Come! My father's dog-headed military advisor, I'll give you a drink, little lady."

Ling Zixuan was in a good mood and started to have fun with Song Chen.

"Dog-headed military advisor? That's not a good thing. I, Song Chen, am a sleeping dragon and a phoenix!"

Song Chen made a speechless expression.

"What is the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chick?"

Ling Zixuan was very curious. "Also, what are sugar-coated bullets? Why do you have so many novel vocabulary?"

"Well..."

Song Chen didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

At this time, Ling Chengen came over. "A sugar-coated cannonball is a sharp knife coated with honey! Chen'er, is Uncle Ling's explanation correct?"

Song Chen stood up quickly. "Yes! That's what it means."

"I have written down your thoughts in a secret form and rushed them to the Imperial Capital eight hundred miles away! I think we should be able to see the effect by the time we arrive in the Imperial Capital."

Ling Chengen sat down and drank a glass of wine. "Chen'er, how's your cultivation going lately? I see Zhong Man coming to see you every two days. Is there nothing important?"

"I have understood the elixir reconstruction technique, which can upgrade low-level elixirs to one or three levels, so I partnered with Brother Zhong Man to do the elixir business."

Song Chen didn't hide anything.

Now he is Ling Chengen's indispensable right-hand man. If it weren't for the lack of time, Ling Chengen would even want him to serve in the army for training.

"Elixir reconstruction technique?"

Ling Chengen was surprised. He knew that Song Chen's talent in alchemy was incredible, but to re-create the elixir was too outrageous, right?

"Maybe my strength is not enough. Now I can only upgrade the low-grade yellow pills to the high-grade Xuan grade."

Song Chen was quite helpless. Most of the elixirs sold on Lingbao Street were yellow-level and low-grade. Occasionally, there are middle-grade ones, and those merchants are very treasured.

The Bi Ning Dan he "recreated" has been sold by Zhong Man for a high price of 80,000 taels of gold, but the Tianyan system still thinks that the grade is too low and does not count as completing the task.

The Xuanbing Glazed Bowl cannot infinitely increase the level of the elixir. Once it is upgraded once, it will be completely finalized.

"Is it still too low for you to upgrade to level one or level three?"

Ling Chengen, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but complain. "Even the royal alchemist can't make high-grade Xuan-level elixirs! Besides, wouldn't it be a pity to exchange such high-level elixirs for money?"

Ling Chengen's words were unintentional, but Song Chen suddenly became enlightened.

There is a proverb in the martial arts world, "It is better to lick the pill than to practice hard to the extreme."

He has been wandering in the ranks of warriors for a long time, and he has memories of his past life. He only thinks about how to make money, and he has formed a habitual thinking.

"Uncle Ling, what is the elixir that can quickly improve your cultivation?"

Song Chen asked hurriedly.

"On the Tiangan Continent, there are two types of elixirs that can quickly improve your cultivation. One is called Zhengyuan Dan and the other is called Haoyuan Dan."

Ling Chengen took out a Zhengyuan Pill. "Both elixirs are very scarce. However, elixirs are not omnipotent. After using them twice, they basically have no effect."

Song Chen took the Zhengyuan Pill. He didn't need to identify it deliberately. Just from the luster of the pill, he knew it was a yellow-level middle-grade pill. If you use the Xuanbing Glazed Bowl, you can barely get a low-grade Earth-level Zhengyuan Pill.

Based on the knowledge he possesses, he certainly understands that what Ling Chengen said is caused by the development of drug resistance.

Generally speaking, there are two reasons for drug resistance. One is that the elixir has been taken in large quantities for a long time, and the other is because there are too many impurities in the elixir.

Why are there different levels of the same elixir? It is because the alchemist cannot remove the impurities.

The starting point of the elixir is too low, and the Xuanbing Glazed Bowl cannot turn waste into treasure. It seems that I can't rely entirely on the Xuanbing Glazed Bowl, and I still need to learn alchemy.

Using Xuanbing glazed bowls to make elixirs to make money is simply a waste of natural resources.

Just imagine, if you can refine a heaven-level elixir and then use the Xuanbing Glazed Bowl to improve it, you will definitely get a cultivation-level elixir.

"Uncle Ling, if you want to quickly improve your cultivation level, what grade of Zhengyuan Pill do you need to take?"

Song Chen asked.

"When I was in the Earthly Silver Realm, I took a yellow-grade high-grade Zhengyuan Pill, and when I was in the early Tianjin Realm, I took a low-grade Earth-grade pill."

Ling Chengen was very emotional. "It was Xuan'er's mother who asked for it from the royal family. Now, without the heaven-level Zhengyuan Dan, even if you take the earth-level high-grade one, I'm afraid it won't be of much use."
