Chapter 187: Jinghai Army

Yin Qi looked at the water basin and towel and asked, looking up: "For these three days, have you been taking care of me?"

Yao Yueting shook her head: "My mother was taking care of you for the first two days, and I only came out of seclusion yesterday after consolidating my cultivation. By the way, Young Master, for no reason, why did you sleep for three days?"

As she spoke, she handed the wrung-out towel to Yin Qi.

Yin Qi took it and wiped his face; in reality, with his Human Immortal cultivation, his body was already pure and flawless, and he smiled slightly: "Didn't there be thunder a few days ago, so I went to survive the tribulation. It was a temporary matter, so I didn't notify you."

"Survive... survive the Thunder Tribulation?"

Yao Yueting was stunned, her beautiful eyes widening: "Young Master, could it be that you also cultivate the Dao, but how is this possible?"

She had never heard of a Martial Dao Human Immortal also cultivating the Dao.

Because when refining the viscera, the martial artist's spirit and flesh would merge, and the soul would no longer be able to exit the shell.

If the soul couldn't exit the shell, naturally one couldn't cultivate the Dao.

Generally speaking, only Daoist practitioners also practiced martial arts.

However, it was not bitter cultivation, but piling it up alive with pills.

Just like Meng Shenji, although he was a Human Immortal, he only had the body of a Human Immortal.

"Why not?"

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "I have comprehended the supreme state of No-Mind No-Thought, where the physical body and soul do not interfere with each other. The world doesn't know I cultivate the Dao, just because I have never displayed it."

"No-Mind No-Thought!"

Yao Yueting was shocked; she felt that Yin Qi gave her too many surprises.

This No-Mind No-Thought was a state that countless practitioners dreamed of, and there were not many people in the world today who had comprehended it.

"Wait..."

Yao Yueting suddenly realized something and exclaimed: "Young Master, you said you survived the Thunder Tribulation; how many Thunder Tribulations?"

Martial Dao emphasizes diligence.

Dao cultivation emphasizes comprehension.

Basically speaking, Martial Dao requires one step at a time.

But Dao cultivation is entirely determined by the person.

Some people cultivate bitterly for a lifetime, and until death are trapped in Night Wandering or Day Wandering.

But some people cultivate for one morning, and the strong ones, like the Masters of the Middle Ages, directly become Creators.

Yin Qi might not be as good as the Masters of the Middle Ages, but he couldn't be measured by common sense, which was why she asked how many Thunder Tribulations he had survived.

Yin Qi looked at Yao Yueting and didn't hide it: "Six."

"Six Thunder Tribulations! Heavens!"

Yao Yueting exclaimed.

She felt her head dizzy, both shocked and pleasantly surprised.

She originally thought that two or three Thunder Tribulations were already very powerful, but she didn't expect it to be six Thunder Tribulations!

Human Immortal, six Thunder Tribulations, Foundation Establishment, and also a newly appointed Jieyuan; such an excellent Yin Qi, she felt somewhat ashamed of herself, completely unworthy of the other party.

Yin Qi said: "Regarding this matter, you know it is enough; you don't need to tell your mother. By the way, are you going to the Jinghai Army camp with me, or returning to the Yaochi Sect?"

Yao Yueting nodded and said without hesitation: "Of course I am going with you to the Jinghai Army camp. My mother has already betrothed me to you, so I will naturally follow you in the future. And I am already a Ghost Immortal, so I can help you with some things."

Yin Qi nodded and said: "That's good. However, to avoid being too conspicuous, you should wear men's clothing when the time comes. By the way, how is your sister now?"

Yao Yueting said: "She has already exhausted the old blood in her body and is now in a weak period; my mother is taking care of her around the clock. Oh, by the way, Hong Xuanji sent a message to ask my mother about the matter of you repelling Tu Yuan and the others, and my mother has already replied according to what you said."

Regarding Hong Xuanji, Yao Yueting did not have much affection.

This could be known from the fact that Hong Xuanji taught Zhao Feirong the "Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens" but did not teach her and her sister Yao Yueru.

Because of this, she called Hong Xuanji by his name directly.

In the past, the Yaochi Sect obeyed Hong Xuanji because they still needed Hong Xuanji's support.

But now that they had Yin Qi, where would they still need Hong Xuanji.

………

The next day.

Yin Qi's group set off again.

Compared to before, today's team had grown quite a bit.

Not only was there Yao Yueting, but also eleven new people, ten of whom were Innate Martial Masters, and there was also Yao Yueting's personal maid, Qinglian.

Yao Yueting had been pampered since childhood, so she must have someone to serve her by her side, and she could also serve Yin Qi and do some small things like pouring tea and water.

Don't look at this as just a small maid, but because she had practiced martial arts since childhood, her skills were extraordinary, and she was already a Bone Refining Martial Master.

Both women wore men's clothing and no rouge, looking heroic and compelling.

The rest of the journey was very calm.

Heading south all the way, the horse hooves were like thunder, and the dust rolled.

……

Half a month later.

Yin Qi finally arrived at Linhai Province, outside the Jinghai Army camp.

The Jinghai Army camp was extremely spectacular, stretching for dozens of miles, almost unable to see the end at a glance.

In the camp, countless major flags rustled in the sea breeze;

On the sea surface, countless ships shuttled back and forth.

The work chants were thunderous, and the sound of countless soldiers drilling and shouting shook the clouds in the sky away.

Yin Qi looked from afar and saw the overwhelming masculine and murderous aura, like a raging fire burning, burning half the sky red, so that even Ghost Immortals didn't dare to approach.

There were many countries in the South Sea, and pirates were rampant.

Along the coastline of tens of thousands of miles in the seven southern provinces, the Great Gan established five major navies, which were the Jinghai Army, Zhenhai Army, Dinghai Army, Pinghai Army, and Fubo Army.

The Jinghai Army was responsible for guarding Linhai Province, commanding an army of one hundred thousand.

Of course, this belonged to the regular navy.

In reality, under the Jinghai Army, there were also a massive number of Green Standard Army, scattered to guard various places, with over a hundred camps large and small.

These belonged to the local navy, responsible for maintaining the safety of a sea area on weekdays.

If they encountered powerful pirates, they would report to the Jinghai Army and let the Jinghai Army send troops to encircle and suppress them.

Around the Jinghai Army camp, various roads were built.

There were special grain transport roads, roads for sending troops, imperial roads for imperial edicts, and official roads for officials to enter and exit.

Every road had soldiers guarding it, with a post every hundred steps and a sentry every five hundred steps.

On the distant grain road, carts loaded with grain bags, live pigs, chickens and ducks, soybeans, vegetables, and so on formed a team of dozens of miles, continuously sent to the military camp.

This was less like a military camp and more like a military town.

"Earl, someone is coming from the front."

Without Yin Yunfeng's reminder, Yin Qi also saw a team of light cavalry rushing over, stopping ten meters away, and shouting: "Who are you? Why are you walking on the camp official road?"

"I am General Yin Qi, ordered by His Majesty to come and take over the position of the Fifth Commander."

Yin Qi said, taking out the document from the Ministry of War from his bosom.

After Yin Yunfeng took it, he rode out and handed the document to the leader of the light cavalry.

The leader of the light cavalry had a solemn expression; he didn't dare to be slow, and after reading the document from the Ministry of War, he bowed: "Greetings, General. General, please follow me; the Commander has long ordered us to wait outside."

Yin Qi nodded and followed.

Passing through heavy sentry posts, Yin Qi and the others finally entered the military camp, where everything was orderly.

Subsequently, they walked for several miles before arriving outside the Commander's camp.

In front of the Commander's camp was a huge square.

On the square, the Commander's flag fluttered, with a huge "Yan" character written on it, murderous and soaring into the sky.

On the edge of the square, every three steps there was a soldier wearing fish-scale iron armor, pressing his sword and standing straight like a nail, motionless, and a row of such soldiers led directly to the Commander's camp, murderous and chilling, intimidating the soul. ===== CHAPTER 188 =====
