Chapter 59: Shou Nalan plots against Panlong, encounters moral difficulties when asked
Dongquan flipped through the technique that Nalan Zhimo had found in his hand. This technique was called "The Body Technique of Refined Gold". It aimed to forge the body with the energy of Gengjin, open up the secrets of the human body, and forge the practitioner into a sword weapon with a strong physique and the sharpness of gold. It was a top-notch "sword man" technique.
This technique is compatible with my blood essence supernatural power. If I replace the Gengjin Qi with blood essence, discard the sharpness of gold, and only use the blood essence to stimulate the secrets of the human body, perhaps I can gain more powerful physical supernatural powers.
After reading it once, Dongquan's mind was filled with all kinds of inspiration, and he didn't show it on his face. He just said to Nalanzhi:
"Your current status is related to the planning of the Xiaju Sect elders. Although I won't tell anyone, I can't guarantee that your colleagues will leak your background. In this demon cave, every step you take will be difficult. Let me ask you, do you have any plans for the future?"
Nalan Zhi had been regulating her breathing for a long time and was able to walk without hindrance. Hearing these words, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was difficult to advance or retreat. She was caught in a dilemma. If she moved forward, she would die. If she stopped, she would die. Life and death were unpredictable.
"Dongquan... Sir, just speak frankly if you have anything to say."
"I don't have many people who have built a foundation, so they are not very useful. They are all local chickens and pottery dogs. I am just starting to gain momentum, and I am eager to recruit talents. I still need your help, Nalan."
Seeing Nalanzhi was hesitant, Dongquan simply said: "Think carefully, the road ahead is dangerous, life or death, it all depends on your thoughts!"
Nalanzhi was shocked. She knew that this was not a threat but just a statement of fact.
Do you really think it is easy to plot against the Purple Mansion? Actually, it is not. It is difficult to offend the elder's son. It is another difficulty to lurk in the Xumi Sea. You also need to gather information and plot against the Purple Mansion.
If Elder Jinghe were a man as brilliant as True Lord Xisheng, he would not have gone through so much trouble. However, he only relied on the support of True Lord Jingsheng, the leader of the Xiaju Sect, to enter the Beggar's Version of the Purple Palace. Moreover, this Sumeru Sea was actually a demon cave, so he had to be careful when doing things.
If the situation changes, the chess pieces that have been spread out will probably have to be discarded. This is the third difficulty. When the third difficulty is imminent, there is danger at every step. It will be very difficult to survive.
"Nalan has offended the Jinghe faction, and has nowhere to go in Xiaju Sect," Nalan Zhi said with a bitter smile, "but Xiaju Sect is too powerful, and I can't escape. I still need to think of a way to deal with it. Now that a disaster is imminent, I just want to survive. If Lord Dongquan doesn't abandon me, Nalan is willing to be a small soldier."
Dongquan laughed: "Miss Nalan, you are so powerful that you can easily kill ordinary foundation builders. If you surrender, how can you be just a pawn?"
He waved his sleeves and said, "I will have three divisions and one guard under my command. The three divisions are: the logistics division is responsible for the circulation of materials. Before the army moves, food and grass must be sent first. The reward and punishment division is responsible for distinguishing merits and demerits. There will also be a chief division for personnel exchanges. The chief division is responsible for attacking cities and taking over territory. I have already selected the chief division.
But we still need a guard, called the 'Black Ice Guard', whose job is intelligence investigation. They are actually our eyes and ears. Internally, they supervise the various departments. Externally, they collect intelligence. They have great power. What do you think, Nalan?"
Nalan Zhi had already made up her mind, so she naturally wouldn't refuse: "I am willing to share the Lord's worries!"
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. Don't think I'm just a child playing house. Now the two dragons from the four islands of Longwei, Black Lagoon, Little Phoenix, and Guanchao have all surrendered. The two divisions and one guard are ready. We just need to integrate our combat power, sweep across the islands, and go straight to Huanglong." Dongquan hinted at something.
Yellow dragon? Could this dragon be the Dragon Capturing Heavenly Monarch?
Nalan Zhi was shocked and asked hurriedly, "My Lord, are you trying to get your hands on the throne of the Heavenly Sovereign?"
"Yes, there are hundreds of islands under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Lord, but I don't want to encroach on them step by step. I just need to kill the Dragon-Catching Heavenly Lord, and then those fence-sitters will naturally surrender." Dongquan replied.
Now that he has all the treasures, his fighting power has not increased much. It is time to find trouble with the Dragon Captor. Besides, Li Daode has been out to sea for several months. If he delays any further, he will be exposed, which will inevitably make the Dragon Captor prepared. It is better to strike him with lightning and kill the enemy in one battle.
Moreover, with more than a dozen of his subordinates in the foundation building stage, the framework of the power was mostly established. After killing the Dragon-Catching Heavenly Monarch, the power transfer was naturally smooth, and the purpose of keeping those good-for-nothings was also for this purpose. Dongquan knew that with his own strength, it was inevitable that he would be unable to handle everything. Fortunately, the magic cultivators were not as roundabout as the righteous ones, and they did not need to make a name. As long as they were strong and ruthless, they would naturally be able to stand firm.
It's just right that with this favorable situation, I can take advantage of it and take charge of one side, and then I can also advance my grand plan.
Dongquan did not forget his mission of gathering the calamity energy and searching for the six difficulties. It happened that the Dragon-catching Heavenly Monarch occupied the spiritual vein, and Dongquan just snatched his spiritual vein and occupied his power to accomplish this great feat.
What's the good of working alone? If I have to do everything myself, how long will I have to be busy? I won't do thankless tasks.
In my previous life, I read many novels and saw that the protagonists all became the leaders of a certain force, but they did not know how to delegate tasks to their subordinates. Instead, they went around putting out fires, pretending to be cool and getting slapped in the face. They did not seem like helpers, but rather a burden. They did not behave like the leaders of a certain force at all.
Dongquan would naturally not make such a mistake. He gathered the demon cultivators, divided them into levels, and dispersed that group of ferocious lackeys. For the sake of power and profit, they would work hard to climb up and help him solve his problems.
A power framework has been established, and from now on there is no need to work so hard as it is now. As long as Dongquan is not dead, the power will naturally not disperse. Dongquan only needs to point out the way and control the direction, and this power will gradually expand like a snowball. The trend is already set.
Retracting his thoughts, Dongquan turned to face Nalanzhi and said, "Your Gengjin method is quite magical. I have cultivated the Great Blood Essence, and I value the secrets of the human body the most. I need your help with something."
"What...what's the matter?" Looking at Dongquan's wolf-like eyes, Nalan Zhi could hardly keep calm.
Dongquan opened his hands:
"The human body is mysterious. I need to borrow your body to practice for me!"
Without mentioning the cave spring where they were planning to study Nalanzhi's body, they only talked about the Sumeru Sea.
"It's been six months. When will this anxious day end?" Li Daode carefully responded to Panlong Island's inquiries according to the secret code. He also inspected the White Bone Boat to see if all the Qigong practitioners had done their job well. Finally, he returned to the bow of the boat and couldn't help but sigh.
Since they set out to sea, all the passing islands avoided this boat as if it were the plague. Even if there were inquiries, when they heard that Fang Tianchou was in seclusion to practice, they also hurriedly retreated. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, it was safe and sound. It just made Li Daode's heart suffer.
He is a timid man, a bit smooth in his dealings, flexible and ambitious. He wants to make a great contribution through this matter, but he can't help being nervous, like cooking oil on a low heat, and he will be like a frightened bird at the slightest sign of trouble.
After looking at the waves on the sea, Li Daode felt undecided and decided to check again. He wanted to avoid being killed by tiny insects and ants after defeating all the wolves, tigers and leopards.
Just as he was about to come back to his senses, he heard a voice from afar asking, "Is that the Panlong Island Jiebao bone boat ahead?"
