Using Ryukyu as a platform, we arrived at an island nation.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a general named Chang Yuchun, whose temper became increasingly fiery as he aged. After spending more than half a year at sea, he finally reached land.

Chapter 652 Not Harming Wenhe

As the large ship docked, Chang Yuchun asked the scholar beside him, "Jia Wenhe, what do you think is the fastest way for us to take over this land?"

"This place is wild and desolate. Our scouts have already discovered that the local natives know small manners but lack righteousness, and they fear power but do not cherish virtue. Since this is the case, we only need to give them a pretext to make their fighting among themselves more intense, and we can subdue them without a fight."

Jia Xu felt there was still plenty of time, so he offered a mild strategy.

But Chang Yuchun disagreed, shaking his head and saying, "No, by the time they finish fighting each other, when will that be?"

“If General Chang wants to act quickly, there is a way,” Jia Xu said with a smile. “It just depends on whether the general dares to do so.”

"What is there to be afraid of? Tell me quickly." Chang Yuchun looked fearless.

Jia Xu whispered a few words in Chang Yuchun's ear.

After hearing this, Chang Yuchun was first taken aback, then overjoyed. "Jia Wenhe, it has to be you. Aren't you afraid of offending Heaven?"

Jia Xu chuckled and said, "Whether it harms Heaven or man, as long as it doesn't harm Wenhe, it's fine. General, is this plan feasible?"

Chang Yuchun thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's do it that way."

He seemed quite happy.

Jia Xu was taken aback. He thought Chang Yuchun would agree, but he didn't expect him to be so willing.

Thus, in less than a year, the Ming Dynasty conquered this island nation.

Strangely, after the war, the island nation's population dwindled to a mere few hundred thousand.

He was still the kind of short man who had no strength whatsoever.

Island nations also have powerful martial artists.

But a long time ago, Zhu Yuanzhang came once and killed all those samurai, ninjas, and yin-yang masters.

This basically solved the problem of high-end combat power that Chang Yuchun had to face.

In the end, those hundreds of thousands of people were gathered together, and Chang Yuchun found them increasingly displeasing.

And then no more.

At that moment, Jia Xu raised an eyebrow, feeling that Chang Yuchun was a terrifying and dangerous person.

They used to find each other quite agreeable.

"General Chang, what will you say if the higher-ups ask you about it?"

Chang Yuchun said indifferently, "These people are of no use at all. Keeping them around is just a waste of food. It's better to give them a quick death."

Jia Xu was speechless.

Okay, you're the boss here, you're right.

Thus, this winding island, resembling a deformed loach, was incorporated into the territory of the Southern Ming Dynasty, marking their expansion of territory.

That's right. This island has many volcanoes and is prone to earthquakes, so it doesn't seem very suitable for people to live on permanently.

However, it wasn't without its gains; there were still quite a few gold and silver mines, which could be mined and transported back.

In the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Zhao smiled broadly after learning of the movements of the four kingdoms of Qin, Han, Chu, and Ming.

Empress Ji Zhao, originally the eldest daughter of the royal family, was considered a beauty of unparalleled grace. She couldn't help but smile and ask, "Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood today."

"Hahaha!" Ji Zhao laughed, "That's right, they're getting anxious, I should be happy."

Time was on his side.

He had some understanding of the resources and influence of the various kings of different surnames, and he dared not take the initiative because any move he made would have far-reaching consequences.

Furthermore, whether it was Qin Shi Huang, Zhu Yuanzhang, or Xiang Yu, they were all extremely formidable opponents.

Needless to say, the Shu Kingdom was still alive.

An ancestor of the Zhou family once said that it would be better to provoke Ying Zheng than to provoke Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was a man of extraordinary luck; anyone who opposed him was doomed.

The only way to deal with this person is to rely on overwhelming momentum, gather even stronger luck than him, and crush him in one fell swoop.

Ji Zhao felt that the only option was to wear them down; once they were worn down, the next generation would be much easier to deal with.

Take Ying Zheng for example, he's getting a bit old now, he won't last more than a few years.

Zhu Yuanzhang is almost here too. He only has the Dragon Pearl in his hands. Otherwise, given the foundation of the Southern Ming, he is really not worth fearing.

After You Ruo emerged from seclusion, she found Xiong Ba and said, "Father, I'm leaving now. I may come back very rarely in the future. I'm leaving these things with you."

"What?" Before Xiong Ba could react, a bag appeared in his hand.

"This is a Qiankun bag. Inside are some top-grade spirit stones, which should be enough for you to cultivate to the level of a terrestrial immortal. Consider it a small token of my filial piety."

As You Ruo spoke, she taught Xiong Ba how to use the Qiankun Bag.

Xiong Ba was taken aback. "Where did this come from?"

"Just use it, why ask so many questions?" You Ruo never knew what it meant to be polite to her own father.

It was only because Xiong Ba was her father that she wanted to beat him up.

Xiong Ba tried absorbing the top-grade spirit stones and felt the surging power within them. He asked, "Have you been using these to cultivate all these years?"

"I guess so." You Ruo didn't want to answer Xiong Ba's question. "I've given you everything. I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you when I have time."

As he spoke, he vanished from the spot, leaving Xiong Ba dumbfounded.

In the Xuan Yang Cave, Lin Zhu is recovering his pure Yang power.

For someone in the Mahayana realm to conceive a child, especially successfully in one attempt, the required pure Yang energy is immense. Only with such a foundation can one have good natural talent and cultivate faster.

The restoration of pure Yang energy can only rely on continuous nourishment and body tempering.

The ferocious beasts surrounding Baixi Valley have been extremely unlucky, constantly being hunted down.

Then there were six more ferocious beasts at the Mahayana Realm level south of the Southern Yue Kingdom, all of which Lin Zhu killed with the Dragon Soul Sword.

The flesh and blood were given to Wang Yuyan to refine the Qi and Blood Pill.

Other materials are used for crafting.

The Qi and Blood Pill, made from the flesh of a ferocious beast at the Mahayana realm, is extremely potent; even Mahayana realm cultivators who are at the body-refining stage may not be able to withstand it.

It goes without saying that this would be even more true for ordinary cultivators at the Mahayana stage or martial artists.

Therefore, when Wang Yuyan handed the entire Qi and Blood Pill to Lin Zhu, she was still a little apprehensive, "Is this thing really edible?"

She tasted a tiny bit, just a little bit of powder scraped off.

After entering the stomach, I first felt a sharp pain in my abdomen, followed by a feeling of heat, and then my whole body turned red.

It took three hours of internal energy cultivation to bring the turbulent blood pressure down.

I was excited for a full ten days after that.

"Why can't I eat it?" Lin Zhu chuckled. "You know my constitution."

Wang Yuyan blushed and her delicate body trembled slightly. "You, you're already at that level, and you're still eating this?" She felt a little scared.

Lin Zhu dared not tell her that it was because Qing'er was going to have his child that he needed the Qi and Blood Pill to replenish his pure Yang energy.

If she found out, wouldn't she have to ask him for it too?

Qing'er was able to hit the target with one strike because of her special physique; she is a descendant of Nuwa, the Mother of the Earth.

For anyone else, winning once in a thousand attempts would be pure luck.

Lin Zhu, however, could only conceive once every ten years or so, even if he didn't sleep or rest.

The efficiency is just that low.

He took the Qi and Blood Pill in front of Wang Yuyan, which only made his complexion a little rosier. He said, "Look at me, I'm fine, aren't I?"

Chapter 653 The Fall of the Imperial City

From the outside, there was indeed nothing wrong.

However, inside Lin Zhu's body, his stomach rapidly peristalsis caused the Qi and Blood Pill to be quickly digested, forming a massive amount of Qi and Blood power.

He used his mind to forcefully circulate these vital energies throughout his body.

As the body begins to strengthen, pure Yang energy gradually emerges, consolidating the foundation and nourishing the vital energy.

Seeing this, Wang Yuyan felt relieved and said, "You can go now, I need to continue refining pills."

She hadn't quite recovered from the last incident, and when she saw Lin Zhu take another Qi and Blood Pill, she was a little afraid he would ask for it.

Although she is now at the Void Realm, she has not yet refined her body and feels that things will only get worse than before.

Lin Zhu also needed to return to Xuan Yang Cave to digest the medicinal effects, so he didn't stay here.

But to his surprise, he received three private messages in a row as soon as he returned to Xuan Yang Cave.

Huang Rong: Little brother, I want to come to your place.

Wanwan: Little Bamboo, I don't get along with those women, can you take me in?

You Ruo: Hahaha, Little Bamboo, I've arrived in the Celestial Realm! Welcome me!

Seeing one is the same as seeing three, so Lin Zhu simply agreed to all three of their requests.

Three spatial fluctuations rippled out one after another, and a figure appeared in Lin Zhu's left, front, and right directions respectively.

The charming and pure Huang Rong, the beautiful and alluring Wanwan, and the boisterous You Ruo.

"Little Bamboo!" You Ruo patted Lin Zhu on the shoulder, and then saw Huang Rong and Wanwan. "Wait, what are you two doing here? Didn't you go to the Earth Cave Heaven a long time ago?"

Huang Rong and Wanwan both broke through to the next level earlier than You Ruo.

Among them, Wanwan was the earliest, followed by Huang Rong.

To be honest, Huang Rong's talent is truly remarkable, and she has been diligently cultivating these past few years; otherwise, she might not have been able to catch up with You Ruo's pace.
