Chapter 333

Tianyu almost being worshipped to death was purely an accident.

He did indeed save these more than ten thousand people, and receiving their gratitude was justified. With this cause and effect, he had the foundation to accept the gratitude of national fortune. But for Wei Yuan, the green national fortune that was a great supplement became a deadly poison when it fell on Tianyu; Tianyu's Dao Foundation was not the ten thousand li of mountains and rivers, so how could he withstand thousands of green national fortunes?

As a result, he hadn't even held on for three bows before he almost died.

After figuring out the ins and outs, Tianyu was stunned for a long time, truly speechless. Those people were grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts, and they had even produced faith national fortune; their sincerity could not be more sincere.

So in front of Wei Yuan, Tianyu couldn't scold, and couldn't not scold; the Power Shaman was not very smart, and for a time couldn't think of a way to vent, so he could only go away unhappily.

And more than ten thousand newcomers entering the domain instantly raised Wei Yuan's cultivation speed to another level, adding another small square of progress every year; now Wei Yuan only needed seven years to complete his cultivation.

This was just the contribution of the twelve thousand equal-grade people; the medicinal properties of the sacrifices with grades had not yet passed, and they had to wait for the medicinal properties to fade before they could have emotions like conviction, admiration, worship, and blind obedience. Wei Yuan combined them with the one thousand top-grade sacrifices searched from Wucheng and merged them into the new city of the Xu family teenagers.

Low-grade sacrifices generally had to be used quickly, so the medicinal properties given by the Shaman tribe were very fierce and had strong poison; after taking it for a long time, it would cause permanent damage. After Sun Yu checked, he found that half of these people had varying degrees of damage, the lighter ones were slow to react, and the heavier ones had intellectual defects.

During this period, the population of the domain increased too fast, and Sun Yu alone couldn't handle it at all; Wei Yuan also wanted to assign some disciples to Sun Yu, but although there were many monks in the domain, there were very few whose qualifications could be seen. In desperation, Wei Yuan had to pick dozens of clever ones to help Sun Yu.

Subsequently, Wei Yuan prepared fifteen jin of Underworld Soil and sent five jin each to the old Daoist, Sun Yu, and Yu Zhizhuo; all three were overjoyed.

Wei Yuan had bitterness he couldn't speak of; he had given too little before, and now he couldn't give more, so he could only do it slowly.

With the opening of the passage to the Grand Void Gate, Sun Yu also received news from the palace. At that time, there was indeed a Junior Sister who survived, but not long after returning to the palace, she swept away the medicine treasury of the True Person Ningxi and disappeared. At this time, the Grand Void Gate was short of manpower and could not pursue her for a time.

After learning the news of the murderer, Sun Yu was silent for a long time, and then everything was as usual.

There were so many miscellaneous matters in the domain that Wei Yuan was overwhelmed, but fortunately, there were more and more people now, so many miscellaneous tasks could be distributed, while Wei Yuan himself focused on organizing the army.

The preliminary plan Wei Yuan set was to reorganize the two towns of elites, with five hundred Dao Foundation monks as the core for each town, and then match them with five thousand soldiers who had reached the Forging Bone realm in Body Forging. One town was infantry, and one town was breastplate cavalry.

The two towns of elites had reached the level of the Great Tang Nine Armies, and the proportion of Dao Foundation monks was far beyond the Nine Armies. In terms of equipment, every Dao Foundation monk was equipped with a musket, with fifty rounds of ammunition. Ordinary soldiers were equipped with ten rounds.

The purpose of over-configuring Dao Foundation monks was not just for Daoist magic fighting, but also for their shooting speed and aiming level, which far exceeded that of Body Forging soldiers.

Dao Foundation monks only needed simple training to achieve a shooting speed of sixty rounds per minute for manual front-loading, and they were 100% accurate within thirty zhang, and moving targets at the speed of ordinary horses were almost all hit.

In comparison, the shooting speed of Body Forging soldiers was only ten rounds per minute, and the accuracy of hitting moving targets within thirty zhang was only half; they had to be within fifteen zhang to be 100% accurate.

And the only one who could achieve a manual front-loading shooting speed of six hundred was Yu Zhizhuo.

With nearly fifty thousand Xu family teenagers and one hundred and twenty thousand equal-grade sacrifices, the defensive strength in the domain was now unprecedentedly strong, and no one could take it down without hundreds of thousands of troops. These two towns of elites were actually for fighting outside the domain.

A few days ago, when attacking Wucheng, Wei Yuan's troops chased to the edge of the domain and could only watch the Shaman tribe walk away. Without reaching the perfection of Forging Bone, Wei Yuan strictly forbade the troops from leaving the domain.

After all, without 'Moments of All Living Beings' and without the blessing of the domain's power, the combat power of these troops in the Shaman Domain could only remain at thirty percent at most.

Wei Yuan spent a whole night to initially determine the equipment plan for the two towns of elites, repeatedly wavering between heavy armor and firepower. Finally, thinking of the fate of Yue Jinshan's ten thousand iron cavalry and the extraterrestrial world described by Xu Wenwu, Wei Yuan finally made up his mind to abandon the full-body heavy armor and use breastplates that took into account both defense and mobility.

Then it was to determine the candidates for officers at all levels. This was a delicate job, so Wei Yuan didn't dare to be negligent, pondered and considered one by one against the thick roster, and spent another day to finalize the plan, and then after discussing with Cui Yu and others, the list was finalized.

After doing this, the military system in the domain had a preliminary prototype. The elite troops were standing armies, mainly training daily, and could fight outside the domain when necessary.

Next were the troops that were both soldiers and farmers, mainly Xu family teenagers and soldiers of the first or second stage of Body Forging. They balanced cultivation and work daily, and turned into defensive troops when there were foreign enemies invading.

Finally, there were the civilians, mainly working. But at the life-and-death juncture of the domain, they also had to be invested in battle after being blessed with 'Moments of All Living Beings', so Wei Yuan also routinely arranged some training, once every few days.

After determining the basic framework of the military system, Wei Yuan started a huge, complicated, magnificent, and incomparably important work: screening those with cultivation potential in the domain and teaching the 'Six Books of Body Forging'.

People in the domain were different from the Xu family teenagers. The teenagers had outstanding qualifications, and almost everyone could cultivate the 'Six Books of Body Forging', but the qualifications of ordinary people in the domain were afraid that not one in a hundred could cultivate it, so they needed to be screened carefully. If the qualifications were not enough, it would be better to cultivate more basic techniques.

Because of the lack of manpower, this matter took a long time, and Wei Yuan estimated that it might not be completed in three months.

In the busyness, time passed unknowingly; Wei Yuan was reviewing the list of new officers this day when he suddenly felt a move in his heart; the national fortune he had added to the three hundred pregnant girls suddenly disappeared by more than half, leaving only thirty-plus!

Wei Yuan rushed out from the main peak instantly and flew toward the new city, rushing straight to the camp where the girls lived. It was late at night, and the camp was quiet, with only lights illuminating several important entrances and exits, but apart from the guards, there were no moving figures. The girls were all very quiet, resting quietly when there were no orders, waiting for the children to be born.

Wei Yuan had already called Sun Yu when he set out, so as soon as he landed, Sun Yu also flew over. He scanned with his spiritual sense and looked solemn, saying: "So many dead fetuses!"

In several large rooms, most of the girls' bellies were much flatter, and light gray liquid flowed from under their bodies. The liquid didn't look like blood, but it carried a bloody scent; Wei Yuan scanned with his spiritual sense and knew that it was blood. It was just that he didn't know the reason, but there was no vitality in the blood, as if it had been sucked dry by something.

After Sun Yu checked carefully, he placed his hand on a girl's belly and urged with Dao power, and a tiny baby corpse slid out from under the girl. It was just that its skin and flesh were withered, like a dried corpse, and what was stained on its body was all light gray dead blood.

After giving birth to the baby corpse, the girl's aura dropped sharply, almost cut off, but at the moment of impending death, a vitality suddenly surged within her body, saving them again.

Sun Yu placed the baby corpse in a silver basin, and then urged several girls to give birth; all the babies born were in the shape of dried corpses.

Without exception, as soon as they gave birth to the baby corpse, their vitality dropped sharply, even if Sun Yu had fed them life-saving elixirs in advance, it was useless. Fortunately, at the last moment, their bodies inexplicably restarted their vitality, which saved their lives.

This was the effect of Wei Yuan's added national fortune; at the life-and-death juncture, the national fortune transformed into vitality, which saved the girls' lives.

Sun Yu's methods failed, and his face was naturally very ugly. If it hadn't been for Wei Yuan's foresight to use national fortune to save the girls' lives, these few girls would have been dead. The other girls were probably the same; after giving birth to the baby corpse, they would die.

Or more accurately, they were already dead, just living for the sake of the babies who had already died in their bellies.

This time Sun Yu didn't act rashly and said: "I need help."

!.

Wei Yuan immediately called in multiple girls, each responsible for taking care of one whose fetus had died in the womb; Sun Yu briefly explained how to handle the aftermath, and then walked around, urging the baby corpses down one by one.

Sun Yu's medical skills were like a god, and he could urge them down smoothly with one press of his hand, but even so, it took a full hour to get all the dead fetuses down.

Only thirty girls whose fetuses were still alive remained; their bellies were bulging high, and the fetuses were growing rapidly, and they were about to give birth in a few days.

If he hadn't experienced the whole process, Wei Yuan wouldn't have believed that they had only been pregnant for more than four months.

This time, to be on the safe side, Wei Yuan simply added three pieces of green energy to each person.

After finally dealing with everything, all the baby corpses were placed in silver basins and put in the courtyard. Hundreds of baby corpses like dried corpses were placed together, indescribably weird and terrifying.

Sun Yu then walked out, stood beside Wei Yuan, and said: "These babies are very evil; they not only send out all their vitality and life force, but also suck the mother dry. And their mothers are trying every means to satisfy the needs of these babies, even if it means paying with their own lives. I just asked a few people, and they all said that they suddenly had a feeling from the bottom of their hearts, willing to pay everything for these children, even if it meant death."

"Can't find the source of the abnormality?"

Sun Yu shook his head: "Can't find it. If the teacher were still here..." He shook his head forcefully, forgetting this thought.

Wei Yuan said: "Before the children are born, there might be another time; I will try my best to protect them with national fortune, I don't know if I can save their lives this time."

Sun Yu said: "According to the size of the fetus and the growth rate, it should be a matter of these few days. I will simply live here these few days and watch them at all times."

"That's fine, I will invite the teacher to come and sit in town, oh, and call the True Person's snake over too."

After explaining everything, Wei Yuan left the new city and returned to the main peak with a heavy heart. The things happening to the girls were too weird, and the key was that there were no clues at all.

Returning to his residence, Wei Yuan was a bit restless, so he simply put aside the things at hand and began to meditate and practice. This 'Taiyin Moon Brilliance Myriad Forms Chapter' hadn't been practiced for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, the night was deep, Wei Yuan had already forgotten himself, his state of mind was clear, the full moon was bright in the ten thousand li of mountains and rivers, and the moonlight was sprinkled.

Suddenly, Wei Yuan's originally clear and flawless state of mind broke, and he saw a cloth-clothed swordsman walking toward him in the moonlight; he then carried his sword, turned around, and slashed down with a heavy sword like a mountain!

This was the sword that almost killed Wei Yuan!

Wei Yuan was shocked, woke up from his meditation, and then all the strange phenomena in front of him disappeared, but he heard a clear baby's cry in his ears!

Where did the crying come from?

Wei Yuan turned his head and stared at the direction of the new city.
