I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 281 Rapidly Forming a Heavenly Army
Fu Tingjun hovered in the void, a divine essence flowing through the air and spreading throughout the entire courtyard.

"This was originally to thank you."

Fu Tingjun's divine essence arrived, and he said, "I did not know where I should go after leaving Baiyujing."

If they were to land on the Luofu Sea again, the Five Thunder Lord's power would be too great, and there would likely be another crisis.

If it had landed elsewhere, I'm afraid I would have had to pray to the Lord of Baiyujing.

"Now that I can settle in Dayu and stay by your side, it saves me a lot of trouble."

Fu Tingjun looked at Chen Zhian curiously and said, "I attached myself to this piece of jade of yours and came all the way to the Great Yu Xuantian Capital, but I felt many hostile gazes."

"Young Master Chang'an, you certainly have quite a few enemies."

Chen Zhian nodded and said, "The world is about to descend into chaos. If one wants to achieve anything in this world, it is inevitable that one will offend many petty people."

Fu Tingjun spoke gently, saying, "Now that I am all alone, and we are both travelers in Baiyujing, I will naturally help you."

Chen Zhian turned his head and asked, "I wonder what I can do for you, senior?"

Fu Tingjun's divine essence gradually solidified, recovering from the damage inflicted by the previous battle.

At this moment, Chen Zhian asked, and he seemed to have thought about it for a long time. He replied, "I came here for two reasons: first, to seek refuge with you, and second, to find a place to stay for myself, so that I won't wander alone in the world and be captured by some powerful figure to refine medicine, or be used for formations or treasures."

And the third reason…

"My Yuan Shen has recovered a lot thanks to the light of the Guanghan Palace, but my physical body has collapsed. The killer's power is too strong, terrifying and unpredictable!"
A bolt of lightning struck, and my body vanished instantly, leaving not a trace behind!

My primordial spirit is illuminated by the Moon Palace, and one day it will be able to return to its original state.

But my physical body is different; it's impossible for another body to appear out of thin air.

Chen Zhi listened quietly.

Fu Tingjun continued, "I originally wanted to pray to the Lord of Baiyujing. The Lord of Baiyujing has boundless spirit and mysterious energy, and must have the ability to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded."

But when my primordial spirit fell into the Moon Palace, I realized that the Jade Capital was guiding us to travel the world.

The Lord of Baiyujing saved us from the brink of death, which is a great kindness to us.

"And there is no more undeserved favor in Baiyujing! We have not yet done anything for Baiyujing, and we fear we cannot exchange it for the blessing of a living body."

Fu Tingjun sighed: "It's a pity that even now, the Lord of Baiyujing has not issued any orders."

I don't know how to repay your kindness... If one day, the Lord of Baiyujing grants me a decree, I will need your help.

Chen Zhian calmly agreed, and then said to Fu Tingjun, "The world is vast, and there are countless opportunities."

Regarding matters of the physical body, there may still be other opportunities for change.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the demonic puppet and asked, "I wonder what kind of physical body you need, senior?"
I have a demonic puppet here, which is said to be the corpse of a great demon.

This person has been dead for a long time, yet his body is neither decayed nor rotten; in fact, there is still a surge of blood within it, and he remains powerful…

Before Chen Zhian could finish speaking, Fu Tingjun shook his head.

"I need a real dragon's body... and it also needs to merge with my primordial spirit."

The primordial spirits unite?

Chen Zhian secretly made a note of it.

"Are these people in this courtyard your retainers?" Fu Tingjun leaned forward, as if he could see through a window and across the nearly empty courtyard, those people cultivating in the front yard.

Chen Zhian smiled and explained his situation to Fu Tingjun.

Fu Tingjun recalled the army that Chen Zhian had seen when he flew over Qinglian County.

"Those 24,000 Duanyu soldiers are indeed extraordinary, with 4,000 Earth Soldiers and 20,000 Mystic Soldiers!"
Even if such a powerful army cannot kill a Celestial Being of Creation, it is probably not far off.

Even if my primordial spirit were to fall into this Severed Prison Army now, I'm afraid it would be extremely difficult for me to escape."

"Unfortunately, this army is not truly loyal to you."

Chen Zhian remained calm and smiled, "This prison-breaking army may seem like a gift to me, but in reality, it is still under the control of the Great Yu court and does not obey my orders."

But things can be done by human effort... I don't think it's a pity.

The knowledge gained in the military requires years of accumulation, and now that the senior has arrived, we should have no shortage of any elixirs.

A bright smile appeared on Chen Zhian's lips.

Fu Tingjun nodded: "The reason why my Fufeng Dragon Clan is so powerful is because of its many alchemy inheritances."

It's a pity that many dragon-related elixirs are unsuitable for your human race; otherwise, things would be much simpler.

As he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and his tone became more worried: "But to be precise... if you want to raise a heavenly army of five hundred men, having the heavenly army battle formation obtained from Lao Huangliang is not enough."

“To cultivate a celestial soldier, the soldier needs to have at least the innate cultivation level, almost a massive amount of pills, and countless medicinal herbs are required.”

"Since I've come to rely on you, helping you refine pills is nothing, but where did you find so many medicinal herbs?"

Everything in Baiyujing was at Chen Zhian's mercy.

Every time Chen Zhian's primordial spirit entered Kunlun Marsh, there was always spiritual energy covering it.

Even though Jiao Nu was right next to Chen Zhi'an, chatting in the Kunlun Marsh, she couldn't sense the medicinal herbs in the marsh at all.

Upon hearing Fu Tingjun's words, Chen Zhian's smile widened even further.

"Senior, why don't we return to Baiyujing together?"

Fu Tingjun was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

The man and the dragon returned to Baiyujing and fell into Kunlun Marsh.

Standing in the misty Kunlun Marsh, Chen Zhian looked at the vast marshland and laughed, "I am the first person to be led to the Jade Capital by the Jade Capital Lord."

The Lord of Baiyujing once gave me an order, and I thus made some contributions.

"By the grace of the Jade Emperor, I have been granted the authority to manage two hundred acres of spiritual fields within the boundless Kunlun Marsh."

As Chen Zhian spoke... the surrounding Kunlun spiritual energy suddenly dissipated, and a fragrant medicinal aroma wafted out, along with an unimaginable flow of energy!
Fu Tingjun's primordial spirit avatar immediately opened its eyes wide, staring at the astonishing scene before it.

At the same time, another piece of information flowed through his mind, clearing his thoughts.

—Kunlun Marsh! Its grace extends to the heavens and earth, to Kunlun. One can sense its spirit and hear its breath. Its spirit nourishes the mist, and from the mist comes its divine essence.

Sensing this information, he glanced around and saw that over a hundred acres of spiritual fields had already been planted with many medicinal herbs. Countless herbs were emitting a medicinal fragrance and were growing rapidly.

Right under Fu Tingjun's watchful eye, a certain [Spiritual Detox Fruit] actually blossomed and bore fruit in a short period of time, thus ripening!

All of this was too mysterious. Even Fu Tingjun, who had lived for over two hundred years, was knowledgeable, and had inherited much of the Fufeng Dragon's legacy, was somewhat at a loss when he saw this scene.

"There is such a mysterious place in this world?"

Fu Tingjun muttered to himself.

But he immediately remembered that this place was Baiyujing.

The ruler of Baiyujing possesses a magnificent and infinitely mysterious body.

He clearly remembered that under the Five Thunder Lord's thunder, his physical body had disintegrated, his primordial spirit had dissipated, and he had died completely.

But at this moment, his primordial spirit is still alive and well, only waiting for a physical body!
"Bai Yujing!"

Fu Tingjun murmured to himself, and in this daze, their primordial spirits vanished into the Kunlun Marsh. Inside the room.

Fu Tingjun remained silent for more than ten breaths before he snapped out of his shock, his eyes now filled with surprise.

He kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

After another ten or so breaths, Fu Tingjun finally raised his head and said, "Since there are so many medicinal herbs, leave the pill supply to me!"
Refining elixirs is inherently a way to temper the primordial spirit, and it has indeed been very beneficial to the repair of my primordial spirit.

"From today onwards, I will study it carefully. Although I have only lived for a mere two hundred years, I have inherited many of the Fufeng Dragon's lineages and possess many medicinal formulas."

Simply enhancing talent may not be enough.

"Only with all four elements—blood and qi, true essence, aptitude, and temperament—can one become a celestial soldier, and I happen to possess numerous elixir lineages here."

Fu Tingjun was somewhat excited, his eyes shining.

Chen Zhian had not expected that Fu Tingjun would be so devoted, and he felt quite grateful for this Fufeng True Dragon, so he sincerely thanked him.

Fu Tingjun shook his head, but then said, "The matter of the medicinal herbs has been resolved."

However, as I just said, creating a heavenly army is not so easy.

"Soldiers' skills, weapons and armor, battle flags, and commanders are all indispensable. You've brought all of these?"

Chen Zhian nodded and then took out a set of swords and armor.

Fu Tingjun glanced at it and frowned: "These weapons and armor are indeed quite remarkable."

Have you found any craftsmen to forge array chains for these armors?

Chen Zhian only learned what the [Mysterious Chain] was after reading through several battle formations.

The reason why battle formations can "overcome the strong with the weak" is because of the combination of countless forces.

Battle formations, battle flags, and commanders must be gathered in one place, combined with profound Daoist principles, to trap and kill powerful opponents.

This [Mysterious Chain] is used for weapons, armor, battle flags, and talismans!
The goal is to integrate the power of these armored soldiers into one, so that the battle formation can exert even greater power.

For this reason, the Xuan Chain is also extremely important to the army.

When Fu Tingjun asked, Chen Zhian seemed confident and nodded.

Fu Tingjun was relieved and said, "In that case, we must ask this craftsman to forge the Xuan Chain for these armored soldiers as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect their combat effectiveness."

"Moreover... less than five hundred people is really too few."

Fu Tingjun seemed to feel a little regretful.

Chen Zhian replied, "The general under my command is named Yun Ting. He is extremely righteous and always takes the lead in battle. He even uses his own military salary to support veterans and has also established a charity to help many retired soldiers make a living."

"These hundreds of people have gathered here, and many more are on their way to Xuantianjing. In addition... there are also many wounded veterans in those charity halls. If they have suitable medicine, they might be able to take up arms again."

“Yun Ting once told me that within two or three months after the New Year, many people would come to submit their applications.”

Unfortunately, this is the capital city, a strategically important location. Even if I held the position of commander and general, and could raise an army of no more than two thousand men, it would still be impossible.

"Two thousand men...that's enough!" A smile of joy appeared on Fu Tingjun's lips: "The quality of soldiers is more important than the quantity!"

Moreover, if there are more than two thousand people, even if I personally refine the pills, I'm afraid I still won't be able to supply them.

Two thousand Heavenly Realm soldiers are enough to kill a Heavenly Duan expert!

"At that time, we may be able to seek a stronger army. If we can build a Heavenly Army of two thousand men... even a Xuan Gang expert will not be afraid!"

"The Heavenly Army of the Dao!"

Chen Zhian's eyes flickered as he asked, "Senior, you are very knowledgeable. Have you ever seen the Heavenly Army below the Dao?"

Fu Tingjun paused, taking a deep breath.

A few strands of sorrow flashed in his eyes, and he said, "In the Fufeng Sea, a celestial army once came!"
However, they are merely a thousand people, named "Heavenly Punishment"!

"They wielded the Heavenly Punishment Spear, wore Chiwen armor, and had auras rising from the void, with three bronze gates floating in the void."

The bronze gate swung open, and crimson flames billowed forth, drying up the seawater above the Dragon Palace.

"Bronze roared, clouds collapsed, chains of immortality dangled in mid-air, and the Heavenly Punishment Array dried up thirty miles of sea on that day! A giant hand emerged from the bronze gate and crushed the Dragon Palace array..."

Fu Tingjun's eyes were somewhat dazed as he murmured something.

Chen Zhian took a deep breath.

He now understood whose army this so-called Heavenly Punishment Army was!

The Fufeng Dragon Clan was destroyed by the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty!
This Heavenly Punishment Army must be the army under the command of the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty!

but……

"Old Huang Liang once said that ten thousand Heavenly Army soldiers could fight against Xuan Gang!"
Just now, Lord Futing said that two thousand Heavenly Army soldiers were already capable of fighting against Xuan Gang!

"Then how powerful is this Heavenly Punishment Army? A mere thousand men are enough to destroy the Fufeng Dragon Palace and wipe out an entire dragon army!"

Chen Zhian was unaware of the immense power of the Fufeng Dragon Clan, but by simply observing Fu Tingjun and his profound lineage of elixirs, he knew that the Fufeng Dragon Clan was undoubtedly among the most powerful of all the dragon clans in the world.

A thousand men plus the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty destroyed a Dragon Palace... This shows the fighting power of the Heavenly Punishment Army!

Fu Tingjun seemed to be recalling that calamity, as dusk approached.

He gradually came to his senses.

"The Heavenly Army under the Dao also has its strengths and weaknesses."

The strength of the Heavenly Punishment Army is beyond comprehension; they are a military force that has truly brought the Blood Sacrifice Dao to its ultimate level.

The Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty was no exception.

"The Crown Prince of Daqian takes the blood sacrifice of Dao Zhen as the foundation, and every soldier of the Tianxing Army proves the Dao through killing. Their power... comes from slaughter."

Wherever their army passed, mountains of corpses piled up, and abysses of blood vapor formed. Their bronze gates absorbed the blood sacrifice essence, using endless baleful energy to strengthen their battle formations. Countless powerful warriors who died at their hands were either refined into blood pills or filled into the bronze gates… The ferocity of this army far exceeded common sense.”

Chen Zhi listened quietly.

Fu Tingjun fell silent. After a few moments, a glint suddenly appeared in his eyes: "There's no time to lose. We don't need to waste any more time."

My primordial spirit will return to Baiyujing to study the inheritance of elixirs; I will give you a result tomorrow.

Fu Tingjun's primordial spirit transmigrated and once again fell into the jade pavilion of Chen Zhian.

Chen Zhian closed his eyes and began to meditate.

The next morning, the jade pavilion shone brightly once more, and Fu Tingjun's primordial spirit floated in the air.

"We also need to plant some medicinal herbs in Kunlun Marsh!"

Chen Zhian opened his eyes and asked, "Senior, have you decided what kind of pill you want to refine?"

"I plan to refine two kinds of pills."

One ingredient, called Dragon Blood Bone Forging Pill, is used to refine the body's blood and energy, and strengthen the bones and muscles.
Another ingredient, called the Spirit-Suppressing and Divine-Calming Pill, condenses true essence and possesses profound spiritual power…

"Strive to quickly build a heavenly army!"
