Chapter 60: Make friends with those far away and attack those near, a fairy god in one side (asking for monthly votes)
The spiritual field of Yizhuang, the essence of the thirteen acres of spiritual field, evaporates into a thin mist.

The Taoist sat cross-legged in it, and the Yin energy was like the light of a firefly, seeping into the body from the surface little by little.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Xu Yang finished his exercise and exhaled.

"Spiritual fields are still very important. The Fire King is well versed in the method of "the last meal."

What is the last bite of food?

This is the secret technique of the ruling class. It allows people to eat, but always lack a bite to eat. They work hard for that last bite, but do not rebel.

After practicing the fundamental skills, Xu Yang then practiced various secret techniques, including the Yaksha Technique, the Fish-Dragon Dance, the Blood Sword Technique, the Three Yin Talisman Style, the Great Fundamental Seal... There were so many types of secret techniques that it was dizzying.

It may seem complicated, but one's own cultivation also has a backbone.

There are three most fundamental exercises: the Heche Health Preservation Secret Record, which occupies an absolutely core position, followed by the Taiyin Natural Corpse Driving Method, and then the Xuanming Black Water Sutra.

One main and two deputy, everything is in order.

The remaining secret techniques are built around four major systems: Corpse King Kong, Quick-Formed Zombie, Prison Gate Zombie and Patrolling Sea Yaksha.

The general-minister system is not included in it. Xu Yang recently feels that Qingping may be the only person in this system.

Looking back now, it was indeed made possible by a number of coincidences.

Of course, as the ancestor, Qingping might be able to carry forward this system.

"In the future, it would be better to add fewer new systems and add new secret techniques into the existing systems." Xu Yang thought.

For example, add more offensive spells to the Corpse King Kong, add more hidden secrets to the Prison Gate Zombie, add more explosive spells or poisonous smoke secrets to the instant zombie, etc.

The reason why we are not adding more now is mainly due to cost reasons. If there are not enough spiritual fields, we can make up for it with silver.

The maintenance cost of one hundred high-quality zombies is enough to give people a headache; now the Yi Zhuang headquarters controls five townships, and the four townships under Xuanying Fangtong are not enough to fill the vacancies.

With a population of around 70,000, it is indeed impossible to support so many things.

The only way is to kill people and burn things, or be promoted to the eighth rank and become the master of a temple, and take over this large county with a population of nearly 600,000.

Just as he was thinking about it, a thousand paper cranes flew over, describing the news that the red-faced yaksha was acting like a coward.

Xu Yang smiled.

"Eat it away step by step, starting with you, the Red-faced Yaksha."

The battle for Dingpin started, and the big net was spread towards Yaksha Villa.

Collaborate inside and outside to encroach on each other secretly.

If this force is taken over, the population under its rule will reach 200,000.

Of course, there is no need to provoke Yasha Village during this period, just do your own thing.

night.

The patrolling sea yakshas patrolled and hunted monsters to earn merit, and completely gave up chasing the monks.

This made people more convinced that it was the work of the Red-faced Yaksha.

boom! ! !
The porcelain vase was smashed into pieces, with fragments scattering everywhere. The red-faced yaksha on the main throne was so angry that he was shaking.

"Who framed me?" The Red-Faced Yaksha was extremely certain that a group of unknown forces had framed him.

I'm afraid that next, as soon as the Red-faced Yaksha appears, the mysterious Yaksha will start hunting monks. If that happens, I'll be in big trouble, and it will be shit if not shit.

“Changtong!!”

"The disciple is here!!"

“Go and check who is practicing the Yaksha’s method and who framed me!!” said the Red-faced Yaksha.

He is also a well-known master in the three counties area. He is considered a strong man in the foundation-building stage, but he does not dare to provoke public anger.

Otherwise, if you are besieged, it will be impossible for you to be the abbot.

"Yes!!"

Chang Tong set out with a mission.

Yellow bud view.

"Master! Junior Brother Zhang Chu is missing." Rufeng stepped forward to report.

"What did he do before he disappeared?"

"I asked him to go to the water cave in Yi Zhuang to capture the clam spirit." Rufeng lowered his head, not daring to look at his master's face, because his master was worried about the Taoist Zhigang behind Yi Zhuang, so he didn't allow him to set his sights on capturing the clam spirit.

Rufeng continued to add:
"My intelligence is very certain that Xu Yang is not at home, so I asked Junior Brother to go there. Could it be the blue-skinned Yaksha that has been rumored recently?"

"We can't rule out this possibility. Take your men to search along the river." At the same time, Dan Feng turned into a yellow wind and merged with the white clouds in the sky.

"Yes!!"

Soon, the disciples of Huangya Temple divided into several groups and searched along the river.

"Tsk tsk, there are thousands of menial servants, more than a hundred Taoists who can cast spells, and a hundred acres of spiritual fields. The Taoist temple is indeed profound."

Xu Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly, after killing his two proud disciples, the Taoist temple seemed to be fine.

He could fight against the Red-faced Yaksha openly, but not against the Yellow Sprout Guan. No matter whether it was a matter of consumption or a competition at a higher level, he could not defeat this man.

He can only devour the Red-faced Yaksha step by step first, and then get his hands on the eighth rank.

In this way, step by step, you will definitely reach a high position and establish your own power that is as impenetrable as an iron barrel.

Xu Yang collects monsters at night, and during the day, he acts as a benevolent and loving Taoist priest.

The magnificent water surface.

Talismans flew out from the Taoist's sleeves.

boom! !

The talisman paper turned into Yin fire, arrows, and ice. Numerous spells fell like rain, killing the huge crocodile dragon.

The magic is powerful, but it cannot withstand the large number of crocodiles.

The crocodile dragon gradually surrounded the Taoist priest, and he could even smell the stench from its mouth.

"hateful……"

Fu Qing gritted his teeth, conjured up a copper coin seven-star sword, and prepared for a life-and-death fight.

"Daoyou, I'm here to help you!!!"

Squeak! !

I saw five or six bats attacking and wolverines running on the ground.

The instant zombies approached the crocodile dragon formation and exploded, with flames rising into the sky and engulfing the crocodiles.

A figure flew over and carried the exhausted Fu Qing away from the encirclement.

After his feet touched the ground, Fu Qing could see who was coming.

"Thank you for saving my life, Taoist priest. My name is Fu Qing. May I ask your name?"

"Fu Qing? This name is a little ambiguous..." Xu Yang thought in his heart, and replied, "I am Xu Yang from Quhuang County Yizhuang. Daoist friend, you don't have to be polite. It's just a small favor."

"What did the Taoist priest just release? It's even better than the talismans in our Yuanfu Temple." Fu Qing couldn't help but ask the question in his mind.

This is exactly what Xu Yang was waiting for.

"I practice the Taiyin Corpse Refining Method, and these birds and beasts are what I refined. If you need them in the future, you can contact me to trade."

Including Qingping's spiritual field, the total is thirteen acres, and including the other two people, it is nineteen acres.

Xu Yang was refining nineteen zombies at the same time, and the number of ten for the Blood Refining Temple was already too few.

After saving the man, Xu Yang left without asking for anything in return.

Next, rescue many people in the same way.

This is the strategy of making friends with distant forces and attacking nearby ones, building good relations with other forces that are farther away and establishing trade.

For the Red-faced Yaksha, a fierce attack is required.

After Xu Yang's operations, the Red-faced Yaksha retreated to the manor and the offensive and defensive situation was reversed.

On the other side, a message came from Chang Tong.

"My Lord, I have already grasped all the whereabouts of the Red-Faced Yaksha and am now gathering information for him. Do you want to take this opportunity to set a trap and murder this man?"

"No need."

If a confined space is created and all the instant zombies explode, this person can indeed be killed.

Dozens of quick-made zombies are equivalent to hundreds of talismans, which an ordinary talisman monk would need at least one or two years to accumulate.

But Xu Yang was unwilling to deal with it now. If he faced it openly, he would be at a disadvantage and Huangya Temple would inevitably add insult to injury.

Because there is a bigger pot waiting for the Red-faced Yaksha to take.

This person must be unable to help but come out.

These two years are the years for determining the rank of the Taoist temple in the county. All the merits gained are accumulated. Once the total merits of the lower-level ninth-rank forces exceed those of the Taoist temple, they can replace it.

The rank of a county palace is usually determined once every sixty years, but very few people can dethrone it, after all, they have a deeper foundation.

The three counties were in a turmoil over the canal water, and based on this, various forces continued to gain merit.

The heavy rain stopped for a while, the sun shone brightly, and a colorful rainbow appeared in the sky.

Wow! !

Strong winds swept across the water, creating a tornado on the surface.

A blood dragon made entirely of red blood stalked across the water, sweeping up three monsters.

A middle-aged Taoist priest holding a blood-red flag stood on the shore, and next to the Taoist priest was Xu Yang.

There were candlelight bats flying above the two men's heads, but they were not controlled by Xu Yang.

Taoist Long killed the monster, turned to Xu Yang and said with a smile: "Daoyou's bat zombie is really useful, give me more."

"Of course you can, but the price has gone up now. It's thirty-five taels each. I wonder if you're willing to accept that?" Xu Yang was happy to sell it. Anyway, this thing had restrictions and couldn't be used against him.

In the future, I can use bat zombies to kill people, and even if someone finds any clues, I can deny it.

"So expensive?" Taoist Long thought about it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed, "Ten more."

Bat zombies combine detection and early warning, risk-taking, and most importantly, the ability to self-destruct.

They are not as luxurious as Xu Yang, who uses them as consumables. If used sparingly, they can be used for a year or two, so thirty-five taels is still a good deal.

Xu Yang and the other man exchanged greetings for a moment, then said goodbye to each other and left.

"Huh, I finally dealt with the financial pressure." Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

To maintain a large power, one must either exploit internal forces or plunder external forces. Xu Yang did not want to make enemies all over the world, so he adopted the mode of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones.

You won’t lose money if you sell things by yourself. Even if you break even, you will still gain proficiency.

So far, this strategy seems to be correct.

……

The moon was bright high in the sky, but suddenly dark clouds gathered and heavy rain began to fall.

The bottom of the river.

Baizhu used the water vapor magic to conceal his body and swam in the water.

A few days ago, I saw a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals passing by. These shrimp soldiers and crab generals were well organized and seemed to have discovered some clues.

The Taoist priest ordered her to follow closely behind this group of small fry and report the situation at all times.

Inside the charity cemetery, the candlelight was dim and the sandalwood incense was curling.

Xu Yang sat cross-legged on a cushion with an unpredictable expression.

He did not start his day's practice.

But thinking about the way forward.

Immortals and Buddhas fell, and the heaven collapsed.

For those who follow the wrong path or low-level cultivators, this is an extremely huge advantage.

If we go back to the time when Heaven was in control, cultivators would have to have connections to become celestial soldiers in Heaven.

Not to mention that with his style of doing things, as soon as he shows up, the God of Land would report him to the Heavenly Court and send the law enforcement gods to arrest him.

God knows whether the immortals and Buddhas will come back in the future.

This period of time may be the best time for my own development.

Relying on the Fire Kingdom's grade system to enhance power is undoubtedly the safest approach. It allows for confrontation within the rules and with a bottom line, without making enemies all over the world.

"Proceed step by step, step by step. Even if the immortals and Buddhas come back one day, I may become a local lord."

Boom! !
Purple lightning flashed, as if heaven and earth were sensing it.
