Heroes Rise Everywhere, A Grand Unification!
All matters are put to rest, and there is only need to consolidate the present.
To temper achievements with time, to forge the blade of a saber with the long river...
The ancients often said: a sword is sharpened for ten years, waiting only for the day when the sword's edge points; everything in the world requires the polishing of time, and even a stubborn stone has the day it becomes smooth...
Only time can cause a sapling to grow into the towering timber of a giant tree...
In the blink of an eye--
Six years of time--passed in a flash!
In these past few years, the winds and clouds changed, yet everything remained safe and sound...
Both states stationed troops at the border, and the Great Zhou State was not in a hurry to make a move, waiting instead for something; as rumors spread further and wider...
Not a few cultivators from other provinces and prefectures also successively came upon hearing the news!
Among them: following the Xiashang Dao Academy, the Jinxuan Dao Sect, one of the three sects, entered the arena, and the Fengyuan Ji Family, one of the four great clans, followed closely behind...
The three Dao Foundation forces were precisely the sharp blades of this great war!
As for the remaining six Dao Foundation forces, it was not that they did not want to carve up this interest, but rather that they needed to hold down a region and prevent the other major states from stabbing them in the back...
As for that Daliang State--
Its current situation was considerably more difficult...
Toward the southeast and the south, it had to face the covetous gaze of the Great Zhou State.
Toward the southwest, the west, and the northwest, it had to face the plundering of the Chiyuan State.
Looking further north, it had to face the Frost Spirit Demon Race, whose Frost Demon King had even seized mountains and staked out territory, turning its northern mountain highlands into a demon kingdom!
As for the east, though it was an endless ocean--
Yet near the coastal regions, it was unknown how many bandit cultivators were hidden, and there were even Dao Foundation devil cultivators establishing sects and acting as ancestors in the near-coastal regions...
Once it was confirmed that the Core Formation Ancestor of the Daliang State had exhausted his lifespan.
By that time--
The entire Daliang would meet the fate of being dismembered, its territory partitioned and kings enfeoffed!
Coupled with the fact that years ago one of the seven Dao Foundation forces of Daliang was impaired, shaking the foundation of the state, and later on due to fighting over its inheritance...
Internal conflicts within the country broke out frequently, and its own people were almost fighting to the point of braining each other like dogs!
At this very moment, it was precisely the weakest time of Daliang.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the exact moment when this giant would fall...
At the same time, they were also on guard.
On guard against the desperate, life-risking counterattack of the Daliang Core Formation True Person before death!
Yingchuan County--Bachuan Land--Spirit Deer Peak
Spirit Deer Peak was precisely one of the twenty-four mountain peaks currently surrounding the Bachuan Land, and at present, it was managed and tended by the Chu Household...
Qin Zhuang held the title of Peak Master.
In the future, the descendants of Qin Zhuang would be able to use this peak as their inheritance place for days to come, with their main duties being beast taming and breeding...
Its predecessor was precisely the former Deer Valley.
Affected by the Spirit Gathering Formation, Deer Valley had gradually lost its spiritual qi.
Therefore, many deer species were relocated to this peak, and thus it gained the name: Spirit Deer Peak!
Later, after several years of modification, coupled with the efficacy of the Spirit Gathering Formation, several more deer demons subsequently were born among its numerous deer species...
However, these few deer demons were all second-generation offspring born earlier by the Forest Peak Giant Deer.
Their bloodline power was weak, and they could only be counted as giant deer demons.
They were a kind of ordinary deer demon, with an upper limit of no more than First-Tier Mid-to-Superior-Grade, unless their bloodline could undergo atavism and transform into a Forest Peak Giant Deer...
Otherwise, throughout their entire lives, they would be utterly unable to cross that barrier!
The strength or weakness of a demon beast's bloodline was much like the aptitude and spiritual radiance of a Human Race cultivator; some people and demons would remain in the same spot for their entire lives...
Human Race cultivators could still use secret arts and miraculous pills to snatch that glimmer of survival!
But demons, what could they do?
Their strict hierarchy far surpassed that of the Human Race, and whatever you were born as, that was what you were.
Atavism and mutation all relied entirely on fate!
Or else, to scheme for the bloodline of a strong clan, but the difficulty of doing so was comparable to winning a lottery...
At this moment--
Qin Zhuang, a youth who had just grown up, was draped in a loose robe...
He sat cross-legged in solitude beneath a waterfall, droplets of water trickling down from the tips of his hair, with flowing water gliding across his delicate and handsome features-what a striking and beautiful young man!
Beside him--
A huge deer head kept him company at his side, and amidst every breath he drew, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi circulated...
The reason why the Forest Peak Giant Deer was crowned with the name Lin Yue was:
First, wherever it inhabited, it could strengthen the earth's veins and mountains and enrich the luxuriance of vegetation; this was where its innate talent lay...
Second, its body, when cultivated to a high realm, could become like a mountainous giant peak, and its back could carry a forest of trees, hence its name: Lin Yue!
"The True Martial Five Realms are still somewhat weak..."
Qin Zhuang pinched his neck, and a hazy water vapor thereupon circulated in all directions!
"Lin Yue is still lacking some heat. If he wants to advance to First-Tier Superior-Grade, without treasures, he estimates he will still need to accumulate for a few years and hone himself..."
"The Black Armor Crocodile is indeed raised quite well, but if he wants to cultivate them into a group, he estimates it will still take a little ten years..."
"The burden is heavy and the road is long..."
With a sigh--
Qin Zhuang accordingly walked among the mountains, from time to time tossing out a handful of spirit grain rice husks, which scattered everywhere in the forest, and before long...
They were swallowed by the snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains, continually nourishing the mountain forest's multitude of beasts.
In order to win by quantity--
Hoping for the emergence of a few beings of atavism and demonization...
Bachuan Land--Five Grains Peak, Spirit Medicine Peak, Spirit Tea Peak.
These three peaks all had Qin Hui serving as Peak Master.
Ever since he obtained two inheritances of First-Grade Spirit Plants, Qin Hui had begun continuously studying and improving them, coupled with the medicinal theory and cultivation of his own system...
After years of single-minded research, he had now thoroughly mastered and integrated them!
Deserving to be called: a First-Grade Spirit Planter!
The Han Family, Zhao Family, and Meng Family were all loyal supporters of Qin Hui, and upon reaching the age of capping, he married the daughters of the Zhao, Han, and Meng families as wives and concubines.
As for that Meng Family, they had flocked over as an entire clan in recent years...
Its family head, Meng Ao, was merely in the True Martial Four Realms.
In order to lean upon the big ship of the Qin Clan, he sought out Qin Hui, catered to his preferences, and offered an incomplete spirit plant inheritance...
By this means, he was accepted by the Qin Clan--
And afterwards presented his daughter to Qin Hui as a concubine, thereby gaining a foothold in Ba City...
Now--
Qin Hui governed three peaks, the first of which was Five Grains Peak.
It was managed by members of the Meng family, primarily cultivating Five Grains Spirit Plants...
The terrain of this peak was gentle, and along the mountain ridge, a large amount of spiritual farmland had been cleared; although the cultivated area was the largest, the quality of the spiritual farmland was the worst...
It was only suitable for cultivating the most basic Five Grains Spirit Plants or low-grade aged medicines...
Its spirit rice: could be provided for cultivators to eat. Long-term consumption of this rice could strengthen the physique of warriors and assist in cultivation, while Qi Condensation cultivators taking it could slightly increase spiritual power...
The rice stalks could be pulverized into the fields to nourish the soil and moisture of the spiritual farmland...
The rice husks could be used to feed ordinary beasts in Spirit Deer Peak, helping them become infected with spiritual qi in order to strive for transformation into demons...
Secondly--
They were: Spirit Broomcorn Millet (yellow millet), Spirit Foxtail Millet (millet), and Spirit Wheat (wheat).
These spirit plants: could be used to brew spirit wine and make pastries. Although the Qin Clan did not have specialized wine recipes or spirit cuisine preparation methods...
Yet using crude methods--
They could also brew some inferior spirit wine or spirit rice pastries, which could be considered First-Tier Inferior-Grade Spirit Cuisine, and were helpful for the cultivation of low- and mid-realm warriors.
Whether in Yingchuan or the Longchuan Bazaar, those could be sold for a good price...
Finally: Spirit Soybean
It could be made into spirit tofu, and its okara could also be used to feed spirit beasts, and could even be used as provisions to pay low-grade warriors...
These okara containing spiritual qi--
Mortals ate them to strengthen their physiques, low-realm warriors ate them to accelerate cultivation, and they could also be used to nurture offspring...
