The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 187 President Lu's Legacy

"Two days is enough for me to complete the preparations!"

After pondering for a while, Tian Beixi showed a gentle smile to Ji Sihan: "Guard Ji, the information you provided is very useful, during this time, you should just stay with me as a guest."

Ji Sihan was keenly aware of the strangeness in Tian Beixi's tone.

He took two steps back subconsciously, and said with a vigilant look on his face: "Fairy Tian, ​​I am a fugitive who came to take refuge on an outlying island. According to the rules of the outlying island, you should have no right to interfere with my actions!"

"Rules of outlying islands?" Tian Beixi's mouth curled into a mocking smile, as if he disdained Ji Sihan's words, "When I defeat the Haiya Fleet, my rules will be the rules of outlying islands!"

Realizing that the situation was not good, Ji Sihan swallowed and said, "Even so, is there any benefit for you to detain me?"

Tian Beixi smiled lightly, as if Ji Sihan asked a very naive question: "Isn't the 50 Lingshi coins you brought to the outlying island a good thing? I know you may not have brought this huge sum of money with you, but since you are In my place, I am afraid that the spirit stone coin you are carrying will run away with long legs?"

Unlike Zhongzhou's reinforcements who came directly to the outlying island with the army, Tian Beixi landed on Guhong Island alone. Except for a few personal servants, all of her were native soldiers from Guhong Island.

However, due to Tian Beixi's amazing skills, these indigenous soldiers have long regarded her as a god.

Just as Ji Sihan was about to run away, he was pinned down by Guhongdao soldiers who wanted to behave well in front of Tian Xianzi.

Ji Sihan immediately protested again and again: "Fairy Tian, ​​as the saying goes, those who get the right way get more help, but those who lose the right way don't get much help! Outlying islands are a country established by mortal fugitives. For a mere 50 yuan of Lingshi coins, you brazenly broke the island's thousands of years of formation. Unspoken rules, who will be willing to do things for you in the future? If you lose the support of the people on the outlying islands, even if you are a cultivator at the golden core stage, you will never be able to rule the outlying islands!"

However, this persuasion was completely ineffective.

Tian Beixi leaned down and said expressionlessly: "Don't worry about Ji Guanshi, I, Tian Beixi, rule the outlying islands, neither relying on popular support, nor relying on any fairy methods!"

Neither relying on the hearts of the people, nor relying on the methods of the immortal family?
Then why do you rule the outlying islands?
Is it just because of your pretty face?
That Li Qingning's face and figure are even better than yours, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is still messed up by her!

Ji Sihan originally thought that even if Tian Beixi didn't want to accept him, he would let him go like Xu Tong, the owner of Yanbo Island, but he didn't expect that this girl didn't follow the routine at all, and actually detained herself for 50 Lingshi coins up!

This is the biggest taboo against outlying islands!

Seeing Ji Sihan's dissatisfaction written on his face, Tian Beixi didn't pay much attention to it.She ordered her subordinates to handcuff Ji Sihan tightly, and then explained unhurriedly: "Guard Ji, you are also smart all your life, and you are confused for a while. Hidden rules can only be used to restrain ordinary people. Since I can rely on my strength in the early stage of refining Qi, The [-] coalition army that defeated the lord of the outlying island obviously used extraordinary means. Under such circumstances, you still want to use unspoken rules to restrain me, isn't it ridiculous?"

Ji Sihan wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth, but nothing came out.The prerequisite for unspoken rules to take effect is that none of the participants has the ability to break the rules of the game, or that the price paid for breaking the rules exceeds the benefits gained.

Since Tian Beixi can unify half of the outlying islands within two months, it is obvious that the game rules of the outlying islands cannot be restricted. She naturally doesn't care about the price of breaking the rules of the game!
"Could it be that the legend is true, you have spells that can be activated without aura?"

Tian Beixi didn't answer this question directly, but lifted the curtain of his luxurious marching tent: "It's a coincidence that you came here, I happened to be experimenting with the method of defeating the Haiya Fleet, it can open your eyes!"

Before Ji Sihan could answer, Tian Beixi narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, "They should be almost ready..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Sihan saw a hillock hundreds of meters away from the camp, and suddenly a fire flashed.

Immediately afterwards, the ground trembled with the sound of the dull explosion. Not only were many soldiers on Guhong Island who were close to watching the excitement dizzy and their internal organs twitched, even Ji Sihan, who was 800 meters away, was buzzing and screaming. .

Accompanied by the flames and explosion, a large amount of soil, stones and wood chips flew randomly. It seemed that the entire layer of land was lifted seven or eight meters high, and then fell down again with a crackling sound. After that, the place where the explosion occurred was completely enveloped by thick smoke and dust. , even though Ji Sihan tried his best to see what happened, he still couldn't see anything.

"This... what kind of spell is this!"

Even though his ears were still buzzing, Ji Sihan was still shocked by the explosion in front of him.

As soon as the sound of the explosion came, Tian Beixi's body-protecting qi had already been activated automatically. With only a little bit of aura, she successfully offset the damage to her own hearing caused by the huge explosion.

"This is my spell, inherited from President Lu Yang 500 years ago!" Tian Beixi's voice was not so loud, he was not so much explaining to Ji Sihan as he was talking to himself, "Although the ratio of materials is no longer There is room for improvement, but after changing the depth of the landfill, the power of the explosion can be further improved. If a battle occurs on the preset battlefield, no matter how many mortal soldiers come, they will only die. If it is not for the transportation of saltpeter and The cost of sulfur is too high, and the command of the sea is still out of control, the battle on the outlying islands may have ended long ago..."

Tian Beixi's voice was very soft, and Ji Sihan, whose hearing had not fully recovered, could only hear a few words such as "sulfur".

As the smoke from the explosion gradually spread, Ji Sihan did smell a strong smell of sulfur in the air, but there has never been any scientific research in the cultivation world, and even Ji Sihan couldn't understand what happened before him.

Seeing Ji Sihan's bewildered expression, Tian Beixi didn't even bother to explain.Because this magical spell invented by President Lu Yang himself is the black powder from the earth!
As an old subordinate of President Lu Yang, Tian Daxiao has collected many handwritten manuscripts left by President Lu Yang. Tian Beixi's method of making gunpowder is derived from a work note written by President Lu Yang in his early years.

According to President Lu's self-report in his notes, he originally wanted to experiment with an overseas secret technique called "science and technology".However, he soon discovered that the price/performance ratio of this "science and technology" was far inferior to that of cultivating immortality, so he quickly gave up the attempt of in-depth research.

Even so, he still left behind a lot of incomprehensible mysterious formulas such as "one nitrate, two sulphur, three charcoal".

Tian Beixi believed that the overseas secret arts that can be taken seriously by legends like President Lu Yang could never be ordinary high-end products, so he followed these mysterious formulas to study in depth.

Since sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal are all common materials, Tian Beixi found these materials and mixed them together like setting up a fairy array, and then accidentally discovered the mystery of black powder.

But as President Lu Yang himself said, this primitive black powder is not only extremely expensive to produce, but also not as powerful as an intrusion-level spell. It requires the enemy to stand still as a target to cause effective damage. No matter how you look at it, it is useless.

However, Tian Beixi did not give up because of this, but felt that he had not grasped the essence of President Lu's thoughts.

After repeated improvements, Tian Beixi finally researched the optimal ratio of raw materials for black powder when the purity of saltpeter was insufficient, barely raising the power of black powder to the level of mid-stage Qi refining spells.

And after thinking hard, she also found a suitable application place for the black powder - outlying islands!
The west bank of the outlying island strait is the preset battlefield she prepared for the next battle. Before Ji Sihan was captured, Tian Beixi was testing the most suitable burial depth of black powder under the local soil environment.

Seeing the super destructive power caused by the explosion and Ji Sihan's stunned expression, Tian Beixi was full of confidence.

This time, she will definitely make Zhongzhou's reinforcements come and go!
