Chapter 415
Outside Qingming, the Shaman tribe is distributed in the west and northwest directions, and a thousand miles north beyond the domain is all snow-capped mountains.
Within ten thousand li of Qingming, there are three major forces of the Shaman tribe. One is the Rain Country of Red Leaf; another is the Heavenly Intent tribe where Sacred Heart, Painted Heart, etc., are located. The third is the Desolate Ancestor tribe where Tian Yu is located.
The Heavenly Intent tribe has the most solid strength, but it is quite at odds with the Rain Country; a great battle occurred a few years ago, and both sides consumed hundreds of thousands of sacrificial offerings. The Desolate Ancestor tribe's strength is also not weak, and there is quite profound Power Shaman inheritance in the tribe, and they have established their own stronghold in the Desolate World.
The Desolate Ancestor and the Rain Country are relatively close, but it is not without contradictions. Blood Shamans, Power Shamans, and Dharma Shamans look down on each other, and then Dao Shamans look down on all of them.
When Tian Yu left, he took a list given by Little Wei Yuan, which listed rare minerals, medicinal materials, Blood Yingluo, and sacrificial offerings.
After Tian Yu left, Little Wei Yuan went to the Merit Hall again, exchanged for a large batch of books and materials, and then ordered people to move them to his residence. Little Wei Yuan exchanged for too many books, so he had to specifically build a courtyard to store them, and they could be consulted by others.
Now Little Wei Yuan is not only reading books for himself, but also reading books for the mortals in the Ten Thousand Li of Heshan, so the books he reads are varied, and there is everything.
At this time, a piece of news suddenly came from the Ten Thousand Li of Heshan: a small team of researchers made an improved iron forging machine!
Little Wei Yuan's divine sense sweeps, and he sees the new plan.
This plan changes the method of the iron forging machine to lift the forging hammer to use a roller chain to lift it, but the most core point is that it no longer relies on the physical strength of the cultivator, but uses the power of the Dharma array to drive the roller to rotate.
The Dharma array can be driven by spiritual objects, or by cultivators. One Dharma array can provide energy for multiple iron forging machines.
The core of this plan is to replace cultivators with array methods. In the past, one cultivator could only operate one iron forging machine, but now a Dao Foundation cultivator can provide energy for three, five, or even more than ten iron forging machines at the same time through the Dharma array.
However, the plan is just a hypothesis, and the specific Dharma array has not been specifically designed. These mortals have not been enlightened for long, although they study day and night, they are still far from being able to design Dharma arrays, it is just that the young girl Yin Yang seems to feel that this plan is feasible, so she pushed it to Little Wei Yuan.
But the Dharma array is not a difficult matter; there are also many talents proficient in array methods in Qingming now, and this Dharma array is not a profound and exquisite work, most cultivators of the Grand Void Palace can design it. Little Wei Yuan himself can actually do it, it is just that the Dharma array is a bit big and the efficiency is a bit low.
Little Wei Yuan immediately takes the array method to find Yu Zhizhuo. After reading it, Yu Zhizhuo also feels that this method is feasible. Now in the weapon forging workshop, the cultivators' output has not reached their own limits, and the effect of polishing the mental state and Dao Foundation is not very good.
For example, Body Forging Realm cultivators now shake the iron forging machine, and they won't be tired even after shaking for days and nights—how can this be? And after using the Dharma array, as long as the Dharma array's power is fully opened, even a Dao Foundation cultivator can only persist for two or three hours at most.
Yu Zhizhuo believes that only in this way can the cultivators' work be called full.
Little Wei Yuan deeply agrees.
As for designing the Dharma array, it is just a small matter, so the weapon forging workshop temporarily stops work for three days for upgrading and transformation.
Little Wei Yuan returns to his residence and begins to ponder what he has on hand that can move the Bao family. Now the one-year period is getting closer and closer, and Little Wei Yuan has not fought with anyone since achieving the Dharma Form, so he is a bit unconfident in his own strength.
After thinking about it, Little Wei Yuan feels that the Bao family lacks nothing, and is far away from Qingming, so there is really not much he can do for the Bao family. Little Wei Yuan spent some merit points and checked the information on the Floating World Dragon Map.
The Grand Void Palace's records about the Floating World Dragon Map are also few. It is said that this is an immortal treasure handed down from ancient times, and it was already in a damaged state when it fell into the hands of the Qiongshan Xiandao. By cultivating with this treasure, one can borrow the Qi luck of the Heavenly Dragon and attach it to the descendants. Cultivating together successfully will definitely have nine sons, each with different talents, all of which are immortal foundations.
It is just that the requirements for this method for cultivators are extremely harsh, and the Qiongshan Xiandao has succeeded three times since ancient times. The Supreme Elder on the island now is one of the nine sons back then, and also the only one left.
Zhao Fusheng can cultivate the Floating World Dragon Map, his talent goes without saying. And the Qiongshan Xiandao searched for many years before finding a Bao Yun who is qualified to cultivate, so they were willing to set a sky-high price.
According to normal logic, Little Wei Yuan feels that whatever he gives should be more than the Xiandao, so that there is a reason for the Bao family to reject the Xiandao. For example, if the Xiandao gives five, then Little Wei Yuan must give six...
Little Wei Yuan took stock of the chips he can take out now, nothing more than forging breastplates; cultivating Dao Foundations for the Bao family; fighting for the Bao family—these three things, others seem to be nothing. Or be a bit shameless, bet on his own brilliant future?
This matter is really not easy to solve, so Little Wei Yuan discussed it with the cultivators of the Grand Void Palace one by one.
True Person Chuhe thinks that he can take Diao Ye to sneak into the Bao family's ancestral land to steal people. Diao Ye is familiar with the road and can easily take Bao Yun away, and then the two of them can escape back to Qingming, from then on the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. After a few years when the limelight passes, go to the Bao family to apologize. Anyway, at that time, the wood is already a boat, and the Bao family's asking price must drop significantly.
But True Person Chuhe avoided a problem, which is what to do if the Bao family True Lord wants to beat Little Wei Yuan to death. Yu Zhizhuo believes that Little Wei Yuan can go to the Bao family to mine. With Little Wei Yuan's Dao power at this moment, developing the Dharma Form version of the Golden Light Water Blade Technique, mining at that time is not to say one against a hundred, at least he doesn't have to put ordinary Dharma Forms in his eyes. Wait until Yu Zhizhuo also achieves the Dharma Form, then come and mine with Little Wei Yuan, and in a few years, he can hollow out the underground of the Bao family's ancestral land.
This method seems absurd, but it is actually quite feasible. Little Wei Yuan carefully calculated the workload and the normal remuneration he should get, and felt that it was not entirely impossible.
But he immediately woke up, this guy Yu Zhizhuo wants to trick him into mining again!
Sun Yu's way is relatively simple, let Little Wei Yuan study alchemy and medicine well, and when some big shot in the Bao family gets an incurable disease, Little Wei Yuan can use his alchemy and medical skills to solve it, and then let them owe a favor.
At least what to do if the big shots don't have incurable diseases, this can also be solved through medical Dao; if there is no incurable disease, create a few incurable diseases.
Feng Chutang... Little Wei Yuan decided not to consult the opinion of the Bright King Hall, otherwise it is easy to be played.
After asking around, there is really no good way. Little Wei Yuan pondered himself, feeling that perhaps he should fight a good battle at the moment and speak with his battle achievements, only then is it possible for the Bao family to look at him with high regard.
At this time, more than half of the Xu family teenagers in the new city have already advanced to the Bone Forging Realm, and only a few thousand are still in the Blood Merging Realm. This batch of teenagers has quite good qualifications, and now they are already an elite force that cannot be ignored.
As for the Shaman tribe's target, it has long been set, which is the Rain Country in the northwest direction.
In this direction, there are Shaman tribe tribes of all sizes, and there is a city of scale five hundred li away. This city is the traditional Shaman domain, and the human race has never conquered it.
While Little Wei Yuan was preparing for war, True Person Chuhe finally returned, followed by two merchant teams, bringing back the first batch of 50,000 bolts of Ning Brocade and 200,000 catties of raw silk.
Little Wei Yuan put the raw silk into the warehouse, the Cloud Brocade was not unloaded, calculating the time, Tian Yu should also be back. Sure enough, after two days, Tian Yu brought a Shaman tribe merchant team to the edge of the domain.
!.
This time Tian Yu brought minerals, medicinal materials, Blood Yingluo, and 20,000 sacrificial offerings, exchanging for 50,000 bolts of Cloud Brocade. All the materials brought by Tian Yu were more expensive than 50,000 bolts of Cloud Brocade, and 20,000 human sacrifices all became gifts.
After Tian Yu left, Little Wei Yuan estimated that the Desolate Ancestor tribe should be stabilized, so he accelerated the pace of preparing for war.
This is his first time fighting outside the domain. Little Wei Yuan only discovered at this time that there are many factors to consider, from the choice of troop types to the march route, to logistical supplies, all of which are complicated, thousands of times more complex than simply fighting a defensive war within the domain.
Fortunately, Little Wei Yuan is not fighting alone; there are more than a thousand people in the Ten Thousand Li of Heshan helping him share the burden. Having experienced the tests of different tasks during this time, many people in the Ten Thousand Li of Heshan have shown talents in different aspects. Among them, about two thousand people have talents in military affairs, and now half of them have been mobilized.
During the preparation for war, Little Wei Yuan continuously sent out small groups of scouts to scout the Shaman tribe's intelligence. Then, according to the collected intelligence and terrain data, the mortals in the Ten Thousand Li of Heshan only took a few days to formulate multiple detailed plans for Little Wei Yuan to choose from.
Each plan took care of the details in every aspect, even considering what kind of carts to use to load military supplies, and at what day and what time to arrive at what place.
Seven days later, Little Wei Yuan led an army of 30,000 to leave Qingming, officially entering the Shaman domain, and began his first expedition.
The first stop of the army's advance was the mine, and after crossing the mine, Little Wei Yuan's main force suddenly dispersed, dividing into ten thousand-man teams, advancing rapidly in a fan shape, and then the main force in the middle was 20,000, advancing along the main road.
Little Wei Yuan wore the attire of an ordinary cavalryman, led more than a thousand cavalry to move forward rapidly, leaving village after village behind him along the way. He was not in the main force, but directly led the vanguard thousand-man team to act.
If looking from the map, the ten thousand-man teams had already scattered on the ground, destroying all the Shaman tribe villages and towns along the way.
For ordinary small villages, one thousand-man team was enough, and if they encountered powerful villages or large Shaman tribe troops, the surrounding thousand-man teams would quickly arrive, either flanking the rear or directly surrounding and annihilating them.
Just like this, the ten cavalry teams gathered and dispersed, sweeping all the way, and in the blink of an eye, they caused huge panic to the Shaman tribe.
Many small tribes received the wind, and had to move the whole tribe to the northwest, but they hadn't run far before they were caught up and killed by Little Wei Yuan's cavalry.
At this time, in the Ten Thousand Li of Heshan, a huge terrain image was built again. Whatever the Dao Foundation cultivators leading the ten thousand-man cavalry teams saw, it would be displayed in the image.
And Little Wei Yuan could give instructions to the enlightened martial warriors leading the teams at any time to carry out corresponding mobilization. To a certain extent, this army had reached the level of being as flexible as an arm.
