Chapter 138 Germination

Xun Yu bowed, straightened up, and said seriously: "My lord is wise, it is precisely the changes in the north."

"I have just received a message from General Yuan Rang through the machine: Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are in a desperate situation, so they have joined forces with Wuwan and Xianbei in the east, and more than 100,000 Hu cavalry to attack southward." , said quickly: "General Xiahou, please give me your instructions: what decision should be made!"

Cao Mengde came back in a flying car. After arriving in Puyang, he had someone drive the flying car back to the northern front. For Cao Mengde, the flying car is his biggest reliance on conveying military information. As for riding on it himself, it is not necessary. This time he came to the other courtyard on horseback.

The front line of Youzhou is thousands of miles away from Puyang. If the ground speeds up the message, it will be hundreds of miles and it will take several days to kill a few horses. Moreover, Jizhou is not necessarily stable in the middle. However, using a flying car is not only safer, but also takes less than a quarter of an hour.

"I see."

When Cao Mengde heard this, his brows widened: "I thought something big happened, but it turned out to be just barbarians."

After saying this, Cao Mengde pondered: "I know what Yuan Rang means. Now that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have just been defeated, Xin Na Prefecture is still unstable. He cannot decide whether to take the initiative or respond passively."

Xun Yu paused and said, "What my lord said is true. What General Xiahou is concerned about is the offensive and defensive momentum. Should we respond with a defensive approach or an offensive approach?"

"Of course it's an offensive." Cao Mengde flashed a sharp look: "How dare you invade me, just a mere barbarian?!"

Seeing this, Xun Yu knew that Cao Mengde had made up his mind, and immediately said: "I have sent the flying chariot back to Ji before, and temporarily ordered General Xiahou to shrink his troops and respond in a defensive posture first. Since the lord has made a decision, I will return to Puyang. The flying chariot should It’s back.”

Cao Mengde said: "Go back together."

Then he said to Zhao Yu: "I had been busy for half a year and wanted to take some time to hang out in the other courtyard and chat with my husband for a few days. I didn't expect that there were so many things. I was really helpless."

Zhao Yu said: "Big things are important. Although there are many barbarians, it is not a problem. This time we can attack the grassland in one go and plunder a large number of people and livestock to strengthen ourselves."

Cao Mengde laughed: "That's right! I'm going to let those barbarians taste the power of Cao Mengde!"

Then Zhao Yu called Guan Hai: "Go and ask Mrs. Zhen to come over."

When Guan Hai went to invite Mi Zhen, Zhao Yu said to Cao Mengde: "Now my wife Mi Zhen is in charge of all the chores in the other courtyard. When Meng De goes, please take some pills with you."

Cao Mengde slapped his forehead after hearing this: "I almost forgot."

Cao Mengde came and went in a hurry this time. After all, the power is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more things to worry about, and the leisure time will probably become less and less. When he left, he took away tens of thousands of various pills, but he didn't know when he would come back next time.

...

I don’t know since when, there is always a faint mist lingering in the peach forest in the wooden courtyard, and it becomes more and more conspicuous.

Xiao Qiao discovered the secret.

"A seedling has grown in the peach grove." She came to Zhao Yu and said, "I said there is no kitten here. Look for it. It is in the peach grove."

At this point, Xiao Qiao was particularly unhappy: "It also showed its teeth and refused to let me touch it! It even scratched me!"

Zhao Yu took a look and saw three faint scratches on the back of Xiao Qiao's hand.

It was also that Xiao Qiao's martial arts cultivation had gradually improved, and Xiao Xie was not being serious, otherwise there would have been more than just these three scratches.

After all, ferocious beasts are not ordinary beasts. Nowadays, they are getting bigger and bigger, and their tempers are getting more and more fierce. Zhao Yu didn't favor one over the other. Like Xiaobai, he also guided it to carry Qi and blood to practice. Although this little beast is only half-grown now, he is no longer afraid of Xiao Bai!

Even a person like Guan Hai, who has a certain level of cultivation in the realm of Yun Qi and the Divine Realm, would be a little overwhelmed when meeting this little guy.

But Xiao Xie had been bullied by Xiao Qiao since he was a child, so how could he scratch Xiao Qiao?

But when Xiao Qiao said that there was a new seedling in the peach forest, Zhao Yu understood.

That spiritual seed sprouted.

Zhao Yu used to calculate that it would take three, five, seven, or eight years for the seeds of the spiritual things to sprout, but now they have sprouted in less than half a year. After thinking about it again, I thought it should be. The previous estimate was based on the previous formation. As Zhao Yu transformed and strengthened the Five Elements and Four Symbols array, the energy of heaven and earth in the other courtyard became more and more abundant. The Yuan Qi that draws and nourishes the spiritual seeds also increases tenfold.

In this way, the time is greatly shortened, which is reasonable.

When Zhao Yu planted the seeds earlier, he felt that the five elements and four elephants array initially arranged was about to become ineffective.

It has to run and maintain the other courtyard all the time, and it has to create the core power module to store energy for the furnace cauldron, and it has to nourish the spiritual seeds. And as Zhao Yu's cultivation deepened, the demand for the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth also increased. Therefore, it is imperative to transform and strengthen the formation.

Cao Mengde came for a visit, and Zhao Yu put it into practice soon afterwards.

The new Five Elements and Four Symbols formation mainly lies in the transformation of the formation base. In the past, talismans made of simple jade were used as the base of the formation, but this transformation used gold and jade, a spiritual material refined from the fire of wood, as the material.

At the same time, some fine adjustments were made to the Five Elements and Four Symbols array.

Set the core of the formation to spiritual seeds.

Before a spiritual creature can grow up, it must rely on formations to provide abundant Yuan Qi. Once a spiritual creature grows up, it can breed Yuan Qi. It can be used as the formation eye of other formations to suppress this formation, making the formation more stable and Yuan Qi more abundant.

As for the spiritual seeds located at the core of the formation eye, the germination time is greatly shortened by the nourishment of the extremely abundant Yuan Qi in the formation eye.

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, and his magic power brushed over the back of Xiao Qiao's delicate hand. The scratches were immediately smoothed away and disappeared. He smiled and said: "Those are the spiritual seeds I planted. Your little beast can survive because of this." That spiritual seed. The spiritual seed has provided Yuan Qi and preserved vitality for the little beast for a long time. In essence, they have been involved together. Just like brothers, or blood relatives. Therefore, it will not let you get close to the spirit. I'm afraid you'll hurt the spiritual creature."

When Xiao Qiao heard this, he bit his fingers and thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "That's right, that black stone that time? The spiritual thing you mentioned?"

Zhao Yu laughed dumbly: "It's the 'black stone' refined from the crystal skin wrapped around the little ferocious egg shell. Let's go and take a look."

When he came to Taolin, Zhao Yu looked at the increasingly dense mist and saw that it was filled with vitality, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The seeds of this spiritual creature have just sprouted, but they can burst out with such strong vitality that even a thousand-year-old tree is not even one-tenth as powerful.

"Spiritual creatures are indeed spiritual creatures."

For Xiao Qiao and the others, they just felt that the mist in the peach forest was a bit thicker, and they couldn't see deeper things. Probably only Zhao Ji, whose cultivation has reached the realm of Yun Qi and seeing the gods, can even slightly notice it.

Walking into the peach grove, I saw the little beast lying down, like a mother animal holding her child, tightly protecting a small seedling that was only an inch tall and had two leaves.
