Chapter 114 Shen Cheng
Within two days.
The Wumeng attacked vigorously.
Relying on the information obtained from Rupert, Yu Xiao easily found all the strongholds of the Western vampires in the provincial capital.
Tang Yang came to report: "We lived up to expectations and the Martial Alliance won a great victory. We destroyed eight overseas monster gathering dens and annihilated nearly 500 monsters in total, including 365 blood clan remnants!"
Done.
Send a wooden box.
"These are the blood stones obtained from these vampires!"
When Yu Xiao opened it, a strong smell of blood immediately filled the study room, and he saw hundreds of blood stones densely packed inside.
"very good!"
Yu Xiao roughly figured it out.
There are 320 ordinary blood essence stones, which can be used to refine at least 300 blood essence pills.
There are more than forty high-level blood essence stones, which can be used to refine ordinary blood marrow pills.
What a great harvest!
Yu Xiao felt very satisfied.
The extraordinary forces deployed by the British in the provincial capital were basically wiped out, and even if there were a few that slipped through the net, they would be of little use.
This battle.
Eliminate the Wumeng's biggest rival and threat.
The morale of everyone in the Martial Alliance was greatly boosted, and the prestige of Yu Xiao and the organization was greatly increased.
【Reputation +5! 】
【Reputation +10! 】
【Reputation +5! 】
【…】
Yu Xiao felt it.
My reputation is rising rapidly.
At the same time, Yu Xiao received news that the Daxia Association had also launched a full-scale operation.
Cleaned the interior in one fell swoop.
A large number of dormant traitors and spies were eliminated.
The intelligence network that Morton and the English Consulate had spent a lot of effort to build over the past decade in Guangzhou and even Guangdong and Vietnam was uprooted.
The Daxia Volunteer Army urgently mobilized 10,000 people and carried out targeted ambushes in advance according to Nathaniel's military deployment, which was enough to delay time when the war broke out and increase the difficulty of the English invasion.
of course.
It's just a stopgap measure.
There was no way Nathaniel would give up the invasion, relying on the firepower advantage of English ships and guns.
Even if the Daxia Army organized resistance along the way, they could only delay time at most, and finally they would have to use the provincial capital as the battlefield for the decisive battle.
Win or lose.
The losses will be huge.
And faced with a massive invasion by foreigners.
The Wumeng will not be able to sit idly by then.
After this battle, both the common people and the martial arts world will probably suffer heavy losses.
There are no eggs under the covering nest.
Yu Xiao has been developing in Guangyue for several years, and his industries and influence have already spread all over the place.
So whether it is for personal practice, for personal interests, or for the common people, this is a national cause.
He could not allow the English troops to attack the provincial capital.
Nathaniel was killed!
Jesus can’t keep him either!
There is still time.
To be more secure.
Yu Xiao decided to continue to strengthen his preparations, and it would not be too late to take action after he reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Anyway, I have already got the second volume of "Isao Aoki".
There is no shortage of methods to cultivate to perfection in the Qi Refining Stage.
As for cultivation resources? According to the information provided by Yu Ruqian, a lot of ancient medicines can be bought in Shanghai, the Magic City, including a 3,000-year-old ancient ginseng.
More than enough!
Yu Xiao took into consideration that Guangyue would be in turmoil due to war in the future, which would lead to logistics obstruction and sea blockade, making it very inconvenient to purchase supplies.
He needed a new base.
In order to better obtain the resources of this world.
As the city with the highest internationalization process in the country, although the trade cargo throughput of Shanghai is not as good as that of Guangzhou, the density of rich people, consumption level and prosperity are even higher than those of Guangzhou.
Without further ado!
Take a flight as soon as possible.
Go over and get the resources first.
Then, establish a base in the Magic City.
In the future, Shanghai, the capital of Shanghai, will replace the provincial capital of Guangyue and become the center for Yu Xiao to develop industries and collect resources.
of course.
Before this.
One more person needs to be prepared.
Yu Xiaoxian returned to the stone hall space with the latest harvest of several hundred blood essence stones.
There is too much blood in this batch!
This material has a very short shelf life and there is no time to refine it one by one, so we must find a way to increase the storage time, otherwise it will be a waste.
Yu Xiao took a glance.
Information recorded on the stone tablet.
This time, the foreigners' extraordinary forces in the provincial capital were destroyed, and a large number of evil cultivators with sinful intentions were hunted down, which accumulated to about three thousand merits.
Plus Rupert and the five blood elders.
The merits gained in these two days are as high as four thousand.
The cumulative number of merits has reached: 11042.
Breaking ten thousand again!
Yu Xiao decided to build a "space warehouse"!
The moment he had this thought, he saw relevant words appear on the guiding stone tablet.
[Do you want to create a "space warehouse"? This creation will consume 5000 merits. ]
Yu Xiao did not hesitate.
The warehouse was built as soon as possible.
The ancient hall shook violently, and changes occurred in the southwest corner of the hall, and a circular formation appeared on the ground.
This formation seemed to be connected to the vast starry sky, emitting brilliant starlight, and a square and ancient building rose from it.
It only took a few seconds.
It appeared completely before my eyes.
This is the "space warehouse". As one of the three major facilities of the second-level stone palace, its function is to accommodate and store various materials.
It has ten times the space of the Stone Palace.
It also has some special functions.
Because the space warehouse is almost a vacuum and time tends to solidify, although it cannot store living things, it also has an extremely powerful preservation function.
In the future, all materials that cannot be used temporarily can be stored in it.
This can greatly extend the shelf life.
Almost never goes bad.
This alone is of great value and is enough to bring a lot of convenience to Yu Xiao.
however.
not only that.
The space warehouse also has some other functions.
That is to transmit or receive materials instantly.
In the past, when Yu Xiao transported supplies across borders or stored them in the stone hall, he needed to use his physical body to move them bit by bit.
The same applies to withdrawing materials.
This is troublesome.
low efficiency.
Now that he has a space warehouse, Yu Xiao can directly extract supplies, and storing various supplies has become much more convenient.
Yu Xiao does not need to enter the stone hall in person. He can just get in touch with the materials and then activate the space warehouse to go in and transfer and collect them.
Of course, this process takes time. Generally speaking, the larger the size and the higher the grade of the item, the longer it takes to store it directly into the space warehouse.
But no matter what.
Much better than moving it physically.
Yu Xiao stored all the blood essence stones and other materials in the space warehouse, so he no longer had to worry about the materials deteriorating.
Back to the big view.
Yu Xiao announced that he would go into seclusion for seven to eight days to achieve a breakthrough.
In addition, he found Yu Ruqian and Zack and asked them to contact Shencheng so that it would be convenient for him to go there to collect resources and build up his power.
The next morning.
Everything is ready.
Yu Xiao started the Lingzhu Boat, activated the invisible formation, and headed northeast. Current mana.
A thousand eight hundred miles at a time is not a big problem.
If you continue to use the Soul-Replenishing Pill to recover along the way, it will be enough to more than double the voyage distance.
The straight-line distance between the two places is about 1100 kilometers.
Yu Xiao was in the Xiguan area of Guangyue provincial capital in the morning, and appeared on the Bund Street in Shanghai in the evening.
this era.
The transportation construction is backward.
At the beginning, it took Yu Xiao and his group three days to travel the two or three hundred kilometers from Meixian to the provincial capital.
now.
Less than a day.
Not only through war-torn areas.
And it can cross thousands of kilometers in one breath!
Such an efficient, safe and secretive mode of transportation is something no one in this world dares to imagine!
"Is this the Demon City?"
“It’s really very prosperous!”
Yu Xiao looked like a middle-aged man in his forties at this moment. He was wearing a suit, a top hat, and had a neat beard.
Judging from his appearance, he is a middle-aged man with a refined temperament, a well-proportioned figure and considerable charm.
Obviously.
Yu Xiao pretended.
After all, even if he is not a household name, he frequently appears on the headlines of various newspapers and has a very high reputation across the country.
In case of being recognized.
There will be some trouble.
Yu Xiao had long ago mastered the art of disguise and could easily change his body shape, appearance, and even age. With the means of this world, it was almost impossible to detect.
When he walked in Shencheng, he felt that this most international city in Dajing was not affected by the turbulent situation in the south at all.
even.
Instead, I benefited from it.
Because Daxia would spark the Guangyue Uprising, a large number of foreign merchants, for safety reasons, changed their cargo transportation from the port of Shencheng to Dajing.
Yu Xiao’s current location.
It is the iconic Bund in Shanghai.
Compared with later generations, there are not so many skyscrapers here, but it still shows the prosperity of a financial center, commercial center, and international metropolis.
Various well-known Western banks, shops and office buildings are clustered here, such as the HSBC Building, the British Bank Building, etc.
At that time, the streets were not as wide and clean as in later generations. Various stalls were lined up on the roadside, and vendors hawking their wares could be seen everywhere.
Compared with Guangzhou, although simple means of transportation such as bicycles and rickshaws can be seen everywhere, traditional means of transportation such as horse-drawn carriages and sedan chairs are almost nowhere to be seen.
On the contrary, cars, which are relatively rare in Guangzhou, are now quite common in Shanghai. In addition, several tram routes have been built.
This place not only has a prosperous business atmosphere, but Western culture is also very popular. Posters of theaters, concerts and even cinemas can be seen everywhere.
The complexity of the forces in Shencheng is no less than that in Yangcheng.
First of all, Shencheng is closer to the capital and is under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Liangjiang. Therefore, the imperial court has stronger control over this area. There are more celebrities, high-ranking officials and prominent families, and the internal forces and factions are very complicated.
Secondly, the external forces here are equally complex. Although England is also the most influential faction in Shanghai, other countries are not weaker than Guangzhou.
For example, Japan, France, and the Star Flag Country.
Among them, the forces from Japan are particularly worthy of attention.
This tiny island country located near Dajing has just gone through four or five decades of reform and has now completed comprehensive reform and embarked on the road of industrialization.
As the country's national strength grows.
The Japanese are becoming more and more ambitious.
In the past decade or so, there have been several wars against Dajing in which Japan was directly involved, and Japan won a great victory and reaped the benefits almost every time.
In this situation.
The ambition is growing.
Currently regarding the invasion of Dajing.
The Japanese are becoming even more motivated than the English. And unlike the English who make money by plundering the people, they are obviously secretly planning a more thorough conquest that will lead to the destruction of their country and their race.
Because of this, starting ten years ago, the Japanese took the initiative to plan their immigration to Dajing.
Currently, there are 30,000 to 40,000 immigrants from Japan in Shanghai, and it is expected that this number will double in a few years. This is a force that cannot be ignored.
of course.
I know about this trip.
He has little interest in stirring up the situation in Shanghai.
He took a rickshaw to a place called "Huayuan Lane", which is located near the Bund and is considered a well-known wealthy area.
Based on the information at hand.
Yu Xiao came to No. 28 Huayuan Lane.
This is a rather luxurious bungalow.
"Be bold!"
"who are you?"
"How dare you trespass into Princess Yaoxuan's private residence!"
"..."
As soon as Yu Xiao approached, he was stopped by several guards. These guards had very powerful auras, and almost all of them had blood energy cultivation of the third rank.
From the strength of this group of people to their names, it is not difficult to see that the identities of the people living in the villa in front of us are definitely not simple.
"stop!"
A shrill voice came from inside.
Yu Xiao saw a man about fifty years old, wearing a brocade robe, with a white face and no beard, walking out.
Obviously.
It's a eunuch.
Although he is a eunuch.
But it is enough to have the blood energy of the highest level.
"This gentleman must be——"
"I am Yu Qingyun, the uncle of Yu Xiao from Yangcheng. I have come here on behalf of Alliance Leader Yu Xiao to discuss the purchase of precious medicines."
"Mr. Ruqian has already mentioned it on the phone. My family is Jinyu, the chief attendant of Princess Gulun Yaoxuan."
The chief eunuch bowed and saluted: "Please come in, Mr. Yu, and chat with me!"
Eunuch and princess.
Someone from the imperial palace?
This also explains why they have such rare ancient medicines that are thousands of years old.
A real princess.
She is also the most honorable Princess Gulun.
Why would such a person come to Shanghai City instead of being well taken care of in the imperial palace in Beijing? This is against etiquette and rules, there must be something behind it.
In addition, it is impossible for the princess not to know Yu Xiao’s identity, and it is impossible for her not to know that the Wumeng and the imperial court do not have a good relationship.
Under this situation.
She also wants to sell medicine to Yu Xiao.
It is also very confusing.
Of course, Yu Xiao didn't think that this was a deliberate trap for him.
Because it's not realistic.
First of all, Yu Xiao is in Yangcheng and it is impossible for him to go to Shanghai in person to pick up the goods. There is no point in setting a trap in this way.
Secondly, if the other party really wanted to do something bad, he would not expose his identity so openly.
the most important is.
Yu Xiao is a man of great talent and courage.
Now he even dares to assassinate Nathaniel.
Are you afraid that there is some trap here?
Yu Xiao went straight into the house, and Eunuch Jin Yu showed him the ancient medicine without any nonsense.
Yu Xiao judged through perception that this medicine was indeed the best quality one he had ever seen.
The medicine is more than three thousand years old!
Even in an environment with thin spiritual energy, if it can break through the limit several times and grow to three thousand years, it is enough to become a rare treasure medicine in the world of immortal cultivation.
The final price was 4 pounds.
I got the medicine successfully.
The whole process was smooth and uneventful, which surprised Yu Xiao.
With the help of this medicine.
The sixth level of Qi Refining will be achieved!
Yu Xiao got the medicine and was about to leave.
A maid came to Jinyu and whispered something.
Eunuch Jinyu immediately bowed to Yu Xiao and said, "Her Highness Yaoxuan has prepared a dinner. If Mr. Yu is not in a hurry, you may as well finish the meal before leaving."
