Chapter 361: Embezzlement
Chapter 361: Embezzlement
The battle strategy changed, and Lin Zhao needed to practice in the Blue Fuz Secret Realm for a longer time. Since he could not practice by absorbing and transforming demonic energy, Lin Zhao simply replaced rest with practice when he entered the secret realm. He would fight when he woke up, and go to the secret realm to practice when there was no battle to fight.
But even with this kind of practice, her cultivation progress still did not show any improvement.
“As expected, every advancement to the Nascent Soul stage requires an extremely huge amount of spiritual energy.” Lin Zhao gathered a stream of spiritual energy at his fingertips, then formed it into a whirlpool and sighed.
Grandma Honghu said: "Even if a genius picked out of ten thousand wants to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, it will take at least several dozen or several hundred years of accumulation. How long have you been here now?"
Lin Zhao knew that Grandma Honghu was trying to comfort her, but she did not feel any comfort in her heart. Instead, she said with some sorrow: "Time is running out for me."
Grandma Honghu spread her hands helplessly: "Then there is no other way. It is impossible for Ji Wantang to reach the Nascent Soul Great Perfection at the age of seventeen by herself. You either have a miraculous inheritance like her, or you can only find a secret realm where the speed of time flows much more differently from the speed of time in the outside world to provide you with more time to practice."
Neither of these two options is feasible. She obtained the Blue Duck Secret Realm by accident, and the inheritance of the Blue Duck was more reflected in the bonus to her aptitude and physical body. It did not actually improve her spiritual cultivation much. After all, the inheritance that improves spiritual cultivation is a bit demanding.
At least the one who accepts the inheritance and the one who leaves behind the inheritance must be from the same sect and have the same spiritual roots in order to accept the inheritance.
Where could Lin Zhao find an ancestor of the Phoenix Medicine Sect who shared the same spiritual roots as himself to pass on his legacy?
Even when the ancestors of the Phoenix Medicine Sect were at their most wealthy, there was no way that the Chaoran Sect could compare to Ji Wantang's Guangming Hall.
You can only rely on yourself for everything.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhao practiced even harder, and in the battle on the second day, he led the charge, rushed into the enemy camp and began to slaughter the enemy demons.
This has left the soldiers in the opposing city with a psychological trauma about Lin Zhao's current appearance. Wherever Lin Zhao goes, almost no demon general dares to fight him.
Obviously, the mayor of the other city also knew that Lin Zhao was a ruthless person, so he sent out almost all the best Yuanying stage fighters in his city.
However, with Lin Zhao's current spiritual foundation, it is difficult for an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator, even one who has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, to pose much of a threat to her.
After killing the three Nascent Soul stage demon generals on the opposite side and throwing them to Jin Ya and Ming Gui, Lin Zhao looked at the opponent's disorganized retreat and thought.
"I wonder when we can reach the City Lord's Mansion of this city."
Grandma Honghu said: "At your current speed, it will take at most three days. But now that you have reached their City Lord's Mansion, do you plan to swallow up everything in the City Lord's Mansion yourself?"
Lin Zhao said: "Is it not possible?"
Grandma Honghu asked helplessly, "Will the demon city lord you are currently loyal to ask you?"
Lin Zhao was very shameless: "Ask me, I just don't have any."
Anyway, the demon army in these border cities has no discipline at all, and they fight based on strength and formation.
Therefore, it should not be surprising for them to plunder and rob some good things from the City Lord’s Mansion.
Grandma Honghu: "..."
Lin Zhao was also enlightened by his master's silence. He realized that he was indeed not caring about his future life by doing this, so he said, "If it doesn't work, leave some leftovers for him."
Afterwards, just as Grandma Honghu had predicted, three days later, Lin Zhao led his men into the opponent's city lord's mansion. The city lord of this city was apparently entangled by the city lord who had been instigated by Lin Zhao to rebel. Other masters were also found by Lin Zhao's people, so Lin Zhao was not really afraid of the remaining people.
After much difficulty, we found the storehouse of the City Lord's Mansion and discovered that it was actually protected by a formation.
Fortunately, it was only a seventh-level formation. Lin Zhao didn't spend too much effort to solve it. After entering, he was dazzled by the dazzling array of treasures inside.
"Wow, the lord of a border city is so rich." Lin Zhao looked around and sighed.
"The demons don't value humanity. Demons in high positions can gain more than monks in high positions."
If in the world of cultivation, 80% of resources are in the hands of 20% of cultivators, then in the world of demons, this ratio will be even more distorted.
Almost ninety-nine percent of the resources are in the hands of high-level demons, and it is difficult for the lower-level demons to get enough food, so their desire for human flesh and blood will make them abandon everything to fight.
This is a vicious cycle, and the fundamental reason for this vicious cycle is the bloodthirsty and cannibalistic nature of the demons, which is impossible to change.
Grandma Honghu had a thorough understanding of the nature of the demons. "If the lower-ranking demons were given a bit of power similar to that of the higher-ranking demons, they would immediately become more powerful oppressors. Otherwise, how do you think you could easily instigate this demon to rebel?"
Lin Zhao agreed
Although the other party was persuaded by himself with the help of his formation, to a greater extent, it was because of this that the demon himself desired higher power and more resources.
Except for the Demon Lord who was born to be the Demon Lord, all demons are full of ambition and desire, but their strength limits their desires and the extent of their lethality.
As she sighed, she did not stop her work and quickly collected all the valuable things that were useful to her in the warehouse, leaving only one tenth of the junk.
Grandma Honghu was a little speechless when she saw this scene: "Do you think the city lord you are loyal to will believe that his opponent only has this little thing?"
Lin Zhao snorted, "You have to believe it even if you don't want to. How long have I been fighting? How long has he been fighting? The fact that I'm willing to leave so much behind shows my loyalty."
You came here specifically to steal someone's stuff, and you still say you are loyal...
Grandma Honghu didn't know how to complain.
However, when the Danchi City Lord, to whom Lin Zhaoming was apparently loyal, arrived, his expression was indeed not very good.
Lin Zhao thought that what Grandma Honghu said had come true. The Lord of Danchi City discovered that he had enriched himself. Just as he was thinking about how to explain this, he heard the other party say, "Xuan Si, this old Korean, is actually so rich!"
Lin Zhao: “?”
Danchi patted Lin Zhao's shoulder fiercely and said, "Zhao Lin, you will be the elder of our City Lord's Mansion in the future. You have made an invaluable contribution to this battle! You also found so many good things for our Danchi City!"
The deputy general behind Dan Chi was also very excited: "Yes, this is the first time I have seen so many good things in so many years!"
Lin Zhao: "..."
She smiled and said, "It is an honor for Zhao Lin to serve the city lord."
