Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

"Sir, I have something to report."

As soon as Zhang He returned to Ningjing County, Hu Ya was the first to find him.

"What's up?"

"My subordinates heard that the war on the front line was tense, and they came up with the idea that they might be able to contribute to this war."

Zhang He showed an interested look. Huya could often solve some problems technically, and maybe he might have something good.

"It's like this. Our puppet factory has been producing puppets, and there is a backlog of inventory in the warehouse. In addition, the mines and factories in various places can also mobilize some puppets."

"Aren't these puppets all low-level industrial puppets? Can they be used in war?"

Zhang He remembered that he had visited a puppet factory some time ago. These puppets were used for mining, transporting items, or replacing other more dangerous jobs.

The price for selling it to the outside world is also very cheap, only a few dozen spirit stones, and it has almost no combat effectiveness.

"That's right, these puppets can be modified again and equipped with weapons.

Those with strong bodies and strong strength can be equipped with melee weapons, while those with weak bodies can use long-range weapons. "

"Then how many puppets can you organize now?"

"About 5,000 or so."

"Okay! Go ahead and do it!"

5,000 puppets are considered a considerable fighting force. These puppets are cheap to make, so they won't feel heartbroken even if they are used as cannon fodder.

"Sir, there is one more thing that I want you to punish me for."

Huya did not retreat immediately, but bowed again and said.

"When we were studying the obsidian mine recently, an explosion suddenly occurred, destroying a large amount of rare materials. Even the alchemy room next door was affected, causing a loss of about 1 million spiritual stones."

"Why did the explosion occur? Is the investigation clear?"

"Not yet, it's still under investigation."

"You should first find out the cause of the explosion and then report it to me."

The loss of 1 million spiritual stones is indeed huge, but he is currently considered to have a big family and a big business, so he will not be hurt by it.

Zhang He is more concerned about the cause of the explosion. There are not many items that can cause explosions. The rocket launcher is made of explosive thunder grass seeds.

He has been looking for alternatives to thunder grass seeds for many years.

Because the growth period of this thing is too long, it is okay to plant it in space. If it is planted in the outside world, it will take at least ten years to start bearing fruit. Mass production will inevitably be subject to some restrictions.

In order to manufacture rocket launchers, Ningjing County and Heishui County purchase a large amount of Thunder Grass seeds from abroad every year.

If you can find an item that can replace the Thunder Spirit Grass seeds, the loss of 1 million is nothing.

After Hu Ya accepted the order and retreated, Gu Liangqi came to see him again and reported to Zhang He the amount of supplies mobilized from the rear during this period to support the front line.

Gu Liangqi is responsible for the administrative aspects, which is his responsibility.

"When will the damaged railway be repaired?"

"Reporting to the young master, if Fan didn't come to disrupt the work, it should be completed within three days.

It's just that the Fan family has a Nascent Soul monk who has been wandering behind the battlefield, and from time to time he will go to the railway line to cause damage.

After the railway line was destroyed, we organized manpower to transport supplies to the front line.

Almost eight out of ten times, I will be attacked by it. "

Zhang He thought for a moment after hearing this. If this Nascent Soul monk was allowed to continue his activities, the railway line would never be repaired.

In the past, Elder Zhong was the only one left behind, and he was unable to do anything at all. There was really nothing he could do against him.

"You organize a supply team tomorrow and escort it to the frontline battlefield. I will march with the team."

"Yes! I understand."

After receiving the order, Gu Liangqi went down to organize manpower and supplies.

The next day, a transportation team set off from Ningjing County, and spies along the way had already spread the news.

Zhang He restrained his cultivation and followed the team. This time he got himself a human skin mask and put it on. His image turned into a thin man with dark skin.

Now several weapon refiners at the institute have learned the Sun Moon Alliance's human skin mask refining technology.

What Zhang He is wearing now is produced by the institute, and its quality is no worse than the previous Peach Blossom Fairy mask.

The team moved forward without any surprises on the first day.

When they reached an intersection the next day, there was an old man with a white beard sitting in the middle of the road ahead. He looked very spiritual.

"A good dog stays out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The Jindan monk who led the team knew that Zhang He was hiding in the team and was very courageous. He stepped forward and yelled at the old man who was blocking the way.

A flash of light flashed in the white-bearded old man's eyes, and a wind blade technique struck at the Golden Core cultivator.

This wind blade came quickly and fiercely, and was extremely sharp. It easily cut open a shield offered by the Golden Core cultivator, and was in front of the Golden Core cultivator in an instant.

"when!"

Just when the Golden Core cultivator was about to be cut in half, a black spear stabbed out from the side, blocking the wind blade at the critical moment.

Following the black spear, Zhang He's figure appeared next to the Jindan monk.

"That's Fan Yuanying cultivator under your forehead?"

"Exactly!"

The old man was calm and composed, still sitting on the ground with no intention of standing up.

There is no need to deal with two Jindan monks.

The old man waved his hand again, and two more wind blades struck the two of them respectively.

Zhang He didn't bother to bother with the old man anymore. With a move of his hand, the little skeleton appeared in front of him. He pulled the golden elixir subordinate and stepped aside.

When the little skeleton appeared, he had a hoe on one shoulder. He was weeding in the field just now, when he suddenly saw two wind blades coming towards him, so he picked up the hoe and swung it over.

"Crack!"

The hoe shattered, and the two wind blades finally landed on the little skeleton's ribs, leaving shallow white marks on them.

"It turns out there is a spiritual pet in the Nascent Soul stage. I think it's nothing more than that."

The old man said this, but he still stood up, took out a flying sword, and struck at the little skeleton.

The little skeleton had just been slashed twice by the wind blade, and his mind had already switched from farming to weeding.

He picked up the dagger in his hand and struck at the incoming man. The two met and knocked the old man's flying sword away.

This dagger seems to be the little skull's natal possession. He regards it as a treasure and never wants to leave it. Its quality has been improving with his cultivation.

The little skeleton's teeth chattered loudly as he picked up the dagger and struck the old man from a distance.

A three-foot-long sword energy burst out and instantly appeared on the old man's chest.

The old man was so frightened that he quickly dodged to one side, and then narrowly avoided the blow, only scratching a little flesh.

But just as he dodged this blow, the second sword energy arrived.

I'll hide again!

He passed by him again, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, two more swords struck in front of him.

This time the old man only narrowly dodged one, and another sword energy passed through his abdomen.

The matter is not over yet. The little skeleton only had the ability after being promoted to Nascent Soul. He was not very good at using it at the beginning. Now he is getting more and more comfortable, and the dagger releases more and more sword energy.

For a moment, the sword energy was flowing freely and horizontally around the old man. The little skeleton was no longer eager to kill the old man, and only made a shallow cut on him every time.

As for the flying sword that the old man offered, it had already been cut off by the sword energy and could not be used.

Zhang He sat on the side of the road with great interest, watching the new magical power that Little Skull had mastered.

Could it be that Little Skeleton was a sword cultivator in his previous life? This is quite powerful!

At this time, Fan's Nascent Soul cultivator had been cut to pieces by the sword energy, and the sword energy of the little skeleton seemed to be poisonous. The flesh and blood of Fan's Yuanying cultivator where he was cut was gradually rotting away.

"Please! Give me a good time!"

This Nascent Soul powerhouse was already pleading. He wanted to kill himself several times, but was interrupted by the sword energy.

Zhang He couldn't stand it anymore, the little skeleton looked like Ling Chi.

"Little Skull, give him a good time!"

The little skeleton received Zhang He's order, and a sword energy penetrated the head of the old Yuanying.

The old man's body fell heavily, and wisps of black mist emerged from his body, but did not enter the little skeleton's body.

When there was no more black mist coming out of the old man's body, Zhang He walked over, took off a storage bag from the old man's waist, and released a fireball to help the old man cremate the body.

Successfully killing a Fan Yuanying monk, the chance of winning this battle has increased a lot.

According to the intelligence, the Fan family should have four to five Nascent Soul monks. The reason why the number is uncertain is because one of them has not been seen for many years, and his life or death is unknown.

What is relatively certain are the four Nascent Soul cultivators. Now one of them has been killed by the little skeleton, and there are only three left.

The Ji family had four Nascent Souls. During this trip to the ruins, two of the Ji family's Nascent Soul cultivators died, and now only two are left.

So now Ji and Fan combined, there are only five Nascent Soul cultivators left.

On the side of the Sun Moon Alliance, the original three Nascent Soul elders and Elder Zhong were seriously injured this time. At least for this year, they will no longer be able to participate in the fight.

It means that only the two Nascent Souls, Elder Jiang and Elder Mei, can really fight. In addition, Zhang He has a small skeleton in his hand, which adds up to a total of three Nascent Soul stages of combat power.

Three versus five, the difference is not too huge.

"Sir, can the team move on?"

"Let's go! But I won't go on the rest of the journey. Fan's Nascent Soul has just been killed, so there should be no danger in the rest of the journey."

Zhang He no longer marched with the team. With the speed of this team, it would take at least ten days to reach the front line. He did not have so much free time.

On his way back alone, he stopped by to see the progress of railway repairs.

This section is almost complete.

This war all started because of the obsidian mine in Ningjing County. He was duty-bound and should go all out.

After returning to Ningjing County, Zhang He entered the space.

The Explosive Spirit Fruit tree he transplanted has already come alive. After watering it for so many days, it has not re-fruited.

Chi Yan has woken up, but his body is still weak and he is very hungry and wants to eat a big meal.

Zhang He asked the kitchen to cook more than a hundred kilograms of monster meat and another hundred kilograms of spiritual rice, all of which Chi Yan ate in one meal.

For the next period of time, Chi Yan had to eat more than two hundred kilograms of food every day before his body slowly recovered.

The side effects of this Explosive Spirit Fruit are still a bit too great, and the period of weakness after use is too long, so you need to be cautious when using it in the future.

The railway line had been repaired and opened to traffic a few days ago, and Gu Liangqi organized 2,000 militiamen to take trains to the front line.

In addition, a large number of strategic materials were collected, including spiritual stones, elixirs, magical weapons, magic weapons, armor, talismans and other items.

With the support of this group of manpower and materials, the front line became stable again.

In the past few days, Zhang He, as the fourth elder of the Sun-Moon Alliance, has been patrolling each branch, recruiting each branch to continue to contribute people to the front line to participate in the battle.

If there are people who are dissatisfied with his status as the fourth elder, Zhang He will often release the little skeletons and try to reason with them, and the effect will often be surprisingly good.

"Sir, the cause of the last explosion has been found out."

As soon as Zhang He came back from his inspection, Huya came over.

"Oh, what exactly caused the explosion?"

"Sir, it turns out that when fire obsidian, spiritual carbon, and golden black stone are mixed together, they will burn violently when reaching a certain temperature, and even explode."

"Really! Take me to see it quickly."

Zhang He now paid special attention to this piece of news. Hearing this, he took Huya's hand and walked out.

Hu Ya led Zhang He into a room in the research institute, and in front of Zhang He, ground fire obsidian, spiritual carbon, and golden black stone into powder and mixed them together.

The mixture is then put into a sealed copper cauldron for refining.

"This step is the most difficult and must be completely sealed. The last explosion was caused by improper operation of this step."

While Hu Ya was doing it, he kept introducing the process to Zhang He.

After an hour, turn off the heat and wait until the copper tripod has completely cooled down before Hu Ya opens it and pours out the dark red powder inside.

"This kind of powder is easily ignited and will ignite or explode if touched slightly."

While Hu Ya was talking, he carefully wrapped the dark red powder with a piece of animal skin and put it into his body.

The two of them took the bag of powder to a deserted place, and then Huya took out the powder wrapped in animal skin again.

Zhang He took the animal skin package and poured out only a small pile on the ground. Then he retreated to a more primitive place and used a fire-tipped gun to spray out a few sparks at the powder.

A large ball of flame suddenly rose from the spot, rising more than ten feet high. The light was dazzling, and even the surrounding aura was ignited. The flame only lasted for a moment and then extinguished, leaving nothing behind.

"good!"

Next, Zhang He found some items from the storage bag and made several big firecrackers on the spot.

Clamp a finger-sized firecracker in a rock crevice and set it on fire.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, earth and rocks flew, and a large piece of rock was exploded.

The power of this small firecracker can match that of many explosives.

After inspection, Zhang He was very satisfied with this thunder grass seed substitute.

"Does anyone know the current formula of this powder?"

"I'm the only one who knows the specific recipe now."

"Okay! This matter is now classified as confidential. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

This kind of thing is not like the weapon refining technology. It is very difficult to make it when you don't know the specific formula.

As long as he kept it secret well, he would be able to keep this technology firmly in his hands for a long time.
