The Emperor is Above

Chapter 482: The Movement of the Ghost Witch Department
Large-scale teaching and popularization are carried out in Longcheng Fengtu.

There were as many as seven or eight thousand students in the school, so it was impossible to continue using animal skin books and bamboo slips.

Under the guidance of the wise and powerful lord, the craftsmen under Tun Shigu quickly produced large quantities of paper, which made tens of thousands of people in the territory more respectful.

But Qing Yi soon discovered with embarrassment that these high-quality white papers were actually of limited use, and were especially not suitable for use by talisman masters, weapon refiners, and formation masters.

The talisman master needs to draw their own runes, the weapon refiner needs to draw patterns, and the formation master needs to deduce the formation on it, but once drawn on paper, it will burn quickly.

After careful study, it was discovered that even a single rune would have spiritual fluctuations, and the exotic animal skin scrolls used in the past were completely fine as a carrier.

However, if you draw runes on white paper made of ordinary plant fibers, the paper will gradually be completely destroyed, not to mention drawing more complex formations or refining patterns on it.

Just when Qing Yi, Kui Wendou and Yang Hu were at their wits' end, Kui Wendou's last disciple Erhei made a great contribution.

The gifted children with active minds thought that since runes and formations have spiritual fluctuations, why not collect spiritual plants to make paper? Exotic animal skins can carry runes, so why can't paper made from spiritual plants?

After dozens of experiments, this special paper appeared in the Dragon City mound. Currently, it can only be produced in small quantities by collecting branches and leaves of spiritual plants and petioles of spiritual potatoes as raw materials.

However, after the autumn harvest of millions of acres of golden grains, spiritual rice, and spiritual potatoes are all harvested, there will be sufficient raw materials for large-scale production of blueprints suitable for drawing rune formations.

Qing Yi certainly couldn't reveal the paper-making process, as this was one of Longcheng Fengtu's key products for making money in the future.

Just talking about their many advantages, such as the larger paper area and being more suitable for drawing large-scale formations, made hundreds of military mages itchy.

Everyone was more and more fascinated by the Dragon City: "Dragon City is really a magical place. If there is a chance, we should visit it."

Qing Yi is now extremely skilled in poaching people, especially those who focus on technical research. If he arouses their curiosity about Longcheng now, there will be plenty of opportunities to pry them over in the future.

So he smiled and changed the subject, "If you want to buy these papers, there will always be more in the future when the production increases. Now you should take a look at the rune formation on it first!"

"There's really no need to look at the formations. It's not that we are arrogant, but most of the defense formations of the capitals of all the countries in the Northern Wilderness were set up by the formation masters of the Imperial Academy."

Zhao Wensheng said with a rather complacent look on his face, "I heard that in the battle of Shangcheng in the capital of Xing State last year, Shaoqing used the city defense formation to kill the Ghost King Ningtu, the Cat Ghost God and many other evil gods.

To be honest, that city defense formation was set up by my master eighty years ago, and there is a formation diagram left behind in the Imperial College."

"How disrespectful! I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to have such a connection with our Xing State!"

Qing Yi was filled with awe. Only by experiencing that great battle in person could one understand the power of the city defense formation in the capital.

However, Qing Yi still insisted: "The mountain can become high because it accepts no soil, the sea can become big because it accepts no small streams, and the sea is big because it can accommodate all rivers.

The Tai Academy also includes talents from all over the world, so it is a grand occasion for all the wise men to gather together. My formation is said to be inherited from the ancient Zhoutian Xingdou formation."

"What? The legendary formation created by the emperor of ancient times?" The army mages led by Zhao Wensheng suddenly couldn't keep calm, "Is it true or false?" "Golden swords and iron horses, the spirit of murder, why do I feel that it really is a bit like that?" Before Zhao Wensheng could finish his words, hundreds of people rushed and squeezed Qing Yi out in an instant.

Even the weapon refiners, mechanical engineers and other magicians among the army were unwilling to fall behind and squeezed in desperately, causing a burst of laughter and scolding.

Hundreds of coalition generals around were stunned that the usually gentle and polite military mages could actually burst out with such combat power.

Hundreds of people in the Mage Camp didn't care about their image. The crowd outside tried hard to squeeze inside, and those in the middle tried their best to protect their positions.

The dozens of people on the innermost side were clicking their tongues: "Look, here they use various runes to imitate the Zhou Tian constellations, the Three Enclosures and the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and there are murderous intentions everywhere, it's incredible."

“I think the most amazing thing is that such a powerful killing array can be controlled by only thirty-six array masters or talisman masters.

In the past, I always heard those swordsmen from Diqiu boasting that they could defeat an army of 100,000 with one sword, and they laughed at us practitioners who were weak scholars. Now, we can defeat an army of 10,000 with one man. "

"I don't know where Young Master Yi of Longcheng found this ancient killing formation. We don't even have anything like it in our Tai Academy. For hundreds of years, we have been busy researching all kinds of luxurious things and neglected our duties."

"Look here, it's really eye-opening, eye-opening! Mountains, forests, rocks, streams, cities, everything can be used as a part of the formation, this is returning to nature!"

The Mage Camp was extremely surprised. The more they understood the formation in front of them, the more surprised they were. Zhao Wensheng patted his chest and assured:
"Please give us two days, and I will give you a satisfactory result. We need to provide some crystal stones, refining materials, and bone materials."

"Thank you for your trouble, gentlemen. It's not difficult for me to provide some materials." Qing Yi responded with a smile, and quickly asked Gongsun Wu to mobilize a large amount of necessary raw materials.

After Qing Yi's efforts, not only did the emperor and most of the coalition forces of princes humble themselves, but they also got along much more harmoniously with Yangwu City and Longcheng.

Yang Lezi felt an unprecedented joy. He had originally been doing a tough job as a bullied man, but he did not expect that he could achieve such a great achievement. The king even gave him the title of Shangqing.

With the cooperation of Beigong Yu and Chai Yong, Tian Bin relocated the people around Yangwu City to Longcheng Fengtu to avoid too many casualties in the subsequent war.

When all preparations were completed, the Ghost Witch Army, which was expected to leave the Lishui Lake long ago, did not appear, and even the Ghost Witch Army of 10,000 people disappeared completely.

The huge, ferocious skeletons that used to roam around the Lishui Lake and the huge black ghost shadows as big as mountains have now disappeared without a trace.

This unexpected change surprised Qing Yi and Tian Bin. Could it be that the Ghost Witch Tribe learned of the news of Yangwu City and cancelled their previous plans?
Even though Qing Yi sent out all the Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures to search, they found no signs of movement from the Ghost Witch Tribe. The vast Lishui Lake was so silent that it was terrifying.

Just when everyone was puzzled, a red horse covered in blood came running towards them with its four hooves flaming into the air. On the horse's back was a middle-aged man with tattered armor and blood all over his body.

"Hurry, hurry and rescue Xuanwei City!" The middle-aged man, who had just been revived by the pharmacist under Jiang Ji's command, pleaded anxiously, regardless of his weak body.

"The Ghost Witch Army suddenly appeared in Xuanwei City. We fought bloody battles to prevent the city from falling. Tian Bin, the city defender, must find a way to rescue them!"
