Chapter 242 Training Recruits
"It is worthy of being the military flag refined by the gods. Such ability is really in line with my wishes!"
In Xu Jin's residence, he looked at the re-refined water rou flag in his hand, and his face was filled with a satisfied smile.
The big banner in his hand can't be called the Shui Rou Banner now. After all, except for the materials for refining the big banner, there is no other connection between the big banner and the former Shui Rou Banner. Xu Jin gave the big banner in his hand a relatively ordinary name and called it Zhu Yan Banner.
After some tests, Xu Jin has now roughly mastered Zhu Yanqi's ability. The first thing is the ability to bless Zhu Yanqi. As long as he activates Zhu Yanqi, he will continuously absorb the power around him and comprehensively enhance the power of Xu Jin and his Taoist soldiers. Under normal circumstances, he can probably increase his combat power by about 10%.
In addition, the moment the military flag is erected, the Taoist soldiers under Xu Jin will be in high morale, and ordinary illusions or magic tricks that affect the mind will basically not work.
Xu Jin can also inject strength into the military flag in advance, and use it at critical moments to restore some of his physical strength and mana power to his Taoist soldiers, and also have some effect of recovering injuries.
At present, Zhu Yanqi's general abilities are these, and these existing abilities can be improved with Xu Jin's cultivation, but this may take a long time.
Putting away Zhu Yanqi in his hand, Xu Jin decided to let himself and his Taoist soldiers get familiar with the effect of Zhu Yanqi in the next exercise, and to fully exert the power of this magic weapon as much as possible so as to better deal with subsequent battles.
After leaving his residence, Xu Jin went to find Zheng Hong. His experience of attacking Jingguo made Xu Jin realize that his Taoist soldiers were still a little short of them. After taking away his Taoist soldiers, the strength to defend the city on Gujiu was very weak.
Fortunately, he had already prepared in this regard. Zheng Hong organized some soldiers who originally belonged to Chen State in advance, and recruited many new soldiers and trained them. These were the targets of cultivating soldiers.
After Xu Jin found Zheng Hong, he learned about the training situation of these soldiers. Some of them belonged to Chen State. After this period of recovery and training, they were already considered useful and could be fully trained for enlightened soldiers. These people could draw out about a thousand people first.
Now there is no shortage of materials needed to train Taoist soldiers in Gujiu. Xu Jin can start training immediately. Without hesitation, Xu Jin directly pulled out the thousand people and began to make corresponding preparations.
For these thousand people, Xu Jin was preparing to train directly according to the training method of the Yellow Turban Powerful Warriors. Although it took a certain time for the Yellow Turban Powerful Warriors to form combat power in the early stage, after the previous battle, Gujiu should be able to be more stable in the next period of time. Even if there is still a battle, his cultivation level has now broken through to the Jiming realm, and the cultivation level of the Blood Owl Taoist Warriors under his command has reached the level of Duyou. The increased strength should be enough to deal with it.
Xu Jin was not prepared to let these Yellow Turban heroes charge forward. In the future, more practitioners need to participate in the development of Gujiu. The cultivated Yellow Turban heroes should be able to make up for the gaps in low-level practitioners.
In the next few days, Xu Jin was preparing to cultivate these Taoist soldiers in addition to practicing every day.
After these days, Xu Jin has completely mastered the degree of growth in his strength after his cultivation breakthrough and his Taoist soldiers.
With his current strength, if Xu Jin faces Mu Ling again, he is confident that he can crush Mu Ling, of course, the premise is that the other party has not yet broken through to the Tianxian realm.
After several days of preparation, all the preparations have been completed, and more than a thousand ordinary soldiers gathered in a confined space, waiting for the true beginning of cultivation.
The confined space where more than a thousand ordinary soldiers are actually the one where Xu Jin used to experiment. After Xu Jin's cultivation level broke through, after several days of familiarity, and asking Tian Yu and the other two for advice, Xu Jin slowly understood how to open up a space. This confined space in the house was created by Xu Jin himself.
Looking at the 1,000 soldiers in front of him, Xu Jin didn't say much nonsense. He had already said what he should have said before letting them in. Now it is time to train them into real Taoist soldiers.
With Xu Jin's order, all the soldiers present picked up a bowl of medicinal soup placed in front of him and drank it all without hesitation. Then, Xu Jin used the magic power in his body to activate the formation arranged in advance, and the training of these soldiers officially began.
With the activation of the formation, a bloody light immediately lit up in the entire confined space. The soldiers who drank the medicine soup showed a look of pain on their faces at this time, but each of them did not scream, but just gritted their teeth and persevered.
Gradually, whether it was under the influence of the formation or the effect of the medicinal soup they took in advance, the skin on the surface of these soldiers began to turn red and seemed to be very hot.
Seeing this, Xu Jin activated the formation to change while waving his hand in front of the soldiers. The bowl of light golden liquid placed in front of these soldiers was immediately supported by his magic power and landed on the soldiers. At the same time, the spiritual materials at some nodes of the formation also began to melt, turning into two parts, gas and liquid, and flew to the soldiers.
As these spiritual materials fell on the soldiers, Xu Jin moved his hands quickly. A big wrist appeared in his hand, which contained red liquid. Xu Jin threw the big bowl in his hand upwards, and the red liquid poured out. Then his hands danced quickly, and his fingertips slid through the air. Runes flowed out from his fingertips, blending into the red liquid, and then fell on the soldiers with the red liquid.
The red runes seemed to be imprinted on them. Under Xu Jin's control, the formations in the room began to change again. The dense runes appeared on the ground, like living things, wrapped around the body of every soldier.
At this time, more than a thousand soldiers, their bodies began to swell and their height began to rise.
Xu Jin continued to inject magic power into the formation. His magic power was integrated into the body of every soldier through the formation, like a seed, planting the foundation of magic power in their bodies.
After doing all this, Xu Jin stood there and waited. At this point, the training of Taoist soldiers was almost over, and the next time was the waiting time.
After about half an hour, the aura of the soldiers gradually stabilized. At this time, their height had exceeded two meters, and the skin on the surface of their bodies showed a faint golden color, giving people a very tough feeling.
"It's done!"
Looking at the Taoist soldiers standing there, Xu Jin felt relieved. This was the first time he had trained Taoist soldiers from scratch in the true sense, and he used the training method of the Yellow Turban Warriors. He was a little worried. At this moment, the training ended and everything went smoothly. Xu Jin finally let go.
Before these Taoist soldiers woke up, Xu Jin used his magic power to activate the Heavenly Budian Soldiers in the sea of consciousness, allowing these Taoist soldiers to leave a mark in the Heavenly Budian Soldiers. This method is much gentler than pulling away a wisp of true soul.
About half an hour passed, and all the Taoist soldiers woke up. After everyone moved in the same place and became familiar with the changes in their bodies, Xu Jin then took everyone out of the room.
Next, these Yellow Turban heroes need to learn a lot. They need to learn to master the magic power in their bodies, learn to use the given magic, and learn to master various Taoist soldiers. Xu Jin has no time to teach them one by one, so he can only find other teachers for them.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to find someone who can teach them in Gujiu City. Those practitioners from the Duyou realm of Chen State who had been reborn in Gujiu, especially after Xu Jin attacked Jing State this time, these people basically completely obeyed Xu Jin's orders.
With these thousand Yellow Turbans, I have to wait for a while to continue to train Taoist soldiers. Xu Jin put his time and energy back to himself and his Taoist soldiers.
Now the entire armor of the Taoist soldiers under Xu Jin has been replaced. In addition to the newly replaced armor, each person also has a strong thorn shield in his hands, which has strengthened the combat power a lot.
As for the Blood Owl Dao Soldiers, after everyone's cultivation level has broken through, the magical methods they have been given have been strengthened. During this period, the Blood Owl Dao Soldiers are working hard to practice the methods taught by Xu Jin, further enhancing the power of the blood-colored flames. In this way, they can also help Xu Jin further enhancing the power of the blood-colored flames.
Xu Jin also taught some new things about Taoist soldiers under his command, mainly the content of Taoist soldiers assisting in spell casting. This is also a relatively important content in the Jiejiao Taoist military strategy and is not easy to master.
In addition to these things, Xu Jin is also paying attention to the news from the outside world in recent times.
Shortly after returning to Gujiu, Xu Jin knew that Shu Jin and Si Bu had left. Although Xu Jin could not confirm where they were going, he roughly guessed that he should have gone to Jingguo or Yiguo.
Thinking about it, before he came back, Shu Qi asked him to recall the scene of the battle at that time. With his previous incident in Jingguo, Xu Jin could basically be sure that Shu Qi would have to take action against Mu Ling, at least not let the other party become a god so easily.
Therefore, during this period, Xu Jin was very concerned about the situation in Jingguo and Yiguo, especially the new news on the battlefields of the two countries.
However, what disappointed him was that although the battle between Jingguo and Yiguo has continued over the past few days, there was no particularly noteworthy news.
After regaining the land that had been lost before, the Yi Kingdom did not seem to have any intention to further expand its advantages. The offensive against Jing Kingdom was obviously not as fierce as before. The Jing Kingdom side did not know if it was because of the serious losses, and did not attack fiercely. There seemed to be a silent tacit understanding between the two sides. Although the war continued, they were fighting more restrained.
Among them, there was no news about Shu Ji, which made Xu Jin unable to help but think in his heart. Did the other party feel that there was no chance and had returned to Dasheng?
Jingguo and Yiguo are currently peaceful, but in recent times, Qiguo has made some moves.
Just like Tian Yu had considered before, Qi State began to block the people of Chen State who wanted to go to Gujiu. Not only did they block the practitioners of Chen State who wanted to go to Gujiu, but also some ordinary people would also block them.
Any young and strong man and woman who want to go to Gujiu will be stopped by them, while some old, weak, sick and disabled will be let go directly. After all, even if these old, weak, sick and disabled come to Gujiu, they will be more stressful to Gujiu.
Regarding this situation, Tian Yu and Han Huang went to the camp of Qi Guoyi and raised these questions to each other. At that time, the Qi Guoyi masters in the camp were very good, saying that these things were just misunderstandings and would definitely correct them next, but afterwards, there was no change from before. Qi Guoyi was still the same as before, and continued to block what should be blocked.
Qi's actions made Tian Yu and others feel a little unhappy, but Xu Jin was not angry at this. After his breakthrough in cultivation, he had not used a war to truly test his current strength. Qi's small moves at this time could just fight, one to teach the other party a lesson, and the other to really test his current strength in battle.
Just when Xu Jin was eager to try and was about to fight with Qi, the Qi side sent someone again.
The person who came this time was Yan Jian, who Xu Jin had last seen. After coming to Gujiu, the other party immediately admitted that during this period, some people in Qi State deliberately stopped the people of Chen State who wanted to come to Gujiu. The people from Gujiu proposed this point but still did not correct it. Then they apologized to Gujiu, saying that they would correct the mistake immediately and punish those who did the wrong things. Finally, they gave some gifts.
Yan Jian's behavior was very sincere. Xu Jin and others could not find any fault at all. Moreover, after the other party returned, the matter of Qi's blocking the people of Chen State was indeed solved. Xu Jin wanted to fight, so he had to give up.
However, after this incident, some people from the Chen State who originally wanted to come to Gujiu had concerns in their hearts, and there were much fewer people coming than they should have come.
Time passed slowly. In a blink of an eye, it had been more than four months since Xu Jin came back from Jingguo. After more than four months of cultivation, Xu Jin's sea of Minghai was finally completely filled. After his own sea of Minghai was filled, Xu Jin immediately felt that his cultivation speed was significantly slower than before. At the same time, he really felt that the difficulty of expanding the sea of Minghai through normal practice.
Chapter completed!
