Regarding the White Jade Lotus Wine, high-grade ones were becoming scarce, and he needed to keep some in reserve. Since he had recently acquired Disha Qi from Liu Yuexi, he could use a portion of it for trading with Blessed Stones.
“Lord Green Lotus, please wait a moment.”
Lin Wenwen accepted the Disha Qi from Mei Changge and swiftly vanished once more, on a mission to procure the Blessed Stone Mei Changge required.
The Blessed Stone contained spiritual energy and could be used for cultivation or in other aspects.
Moreover, it could speed up the gathering of spiritual water in soldier pools.
After Lin Wenwen handed the 100 ,000 Blessed Stones to Mei Changge, Mei Changge did not stay in the Great Xia Market. Instead, he returned to his territory.
After returning to the territory, Mei Changge was not in a hurry to find Guo Jia. Instead, he cultivated in the Green Cloud Palace for a day.
The next day, Mei Changge summoned Xu Chu, Lin Zifeng, and Zhang Xiang to the Green Cloud Palace.
“My lord!”
The three of them arrived at the Green Cloud Palace and saw Mei Changge sitting on the lotus throne with a respectful expression.
“Zhong Kang, from today onwards, Zifeng will be the general of the Mystic
Yang soldiers!”
Mei Changge looked at Xu Chu and said calmly.
“Y-Yes, my lord!”
Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, but he still replied respectfully.
“My lord, General Xu Chu’s strength is above mine. I…”
Lin Zifeng took a step forward and said respectfully to Mei Changge. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mei Changge.
“Don’t worry, I have my own plans.”
Mei Changge smiled and looked at Zhang Xiang.
“Zhang Xiang, starting today, you’ll join the Red Lotus ranks as a regular soldier. Your potential for advancement will be determined by your own efforts.’
“Yes, my lord!”
Zhang Xiang did not hesitate and said with a serious expression.
“Xu Chu, select 5,000 Mystic Yang soldiers to be my personal guards!”
Mei Changge looked at Xu Chu with a smile on his face.
When Xu Chu heard Mei Changge’s words, he was a little depressed. However, what came next was excitement.
“My lord, don’t worry! I’ll protect you from any foes!”
Xu Chu immediately stepped forward, his voice filled with determination as he yelled in the Green Cloud Palace.
Lin Zifeng, standing nearby, cast an envious glance at Xu Chu. It became clear that the lord had chosen Xu Chu to be the general of his personal guards, explaining why he had instructed Xu Chu to step down from the Mystic Yang soldiers.
If Lin Zifeng had to choose, he would rather not become the general of the Mystic Yang soldiers. After all, he knew who was stronger between the personal guards and the generals.
“Go on. I’ll wait for you in the valley of the soldier pools.”
Mei Changge nodded. Soon after, Xu Chu went to the outside world to choose 5,000 Mystic Yang soldiers.
The door of light that Mei Changge had established in Green Cloud City remained open, but it wasn’t accessible to just anyone. Only those who had Mei Changge’s authorization could use it to enter Green Lotus City.
“Let’s go to the soldier pools to wait for Zhong Kang.”
Mei Changge said to Lin Zifeng and Zhang Xiang. The two of them felt their vision blur and when they saw their surroundings again, they had already appeared in the valley.
“Zhang Xiang, enter this soldier pool. After coming out, you will become a Red Lotus soldier.”
“Yes, my lord!”
Zhang Xiang’s gaze was solemn. Then, he looked at the soldier pool Mei Changge was pointing at.
Although this soldier pool looked worse than the others, he still jumped in.
Boom!
“Zifeng, I might enter the stargate in a while. If there’s anything that can’t be resolved in the city, you can look for Feng Xiao.” Mei Changge looked at Lin Zifeng and said.
“Yes, my lord.”
Lin Zifeng nodded.
After a while, Xu Chu brought 5,000 Mystic Yang soldiers to the valley.
“My lord!”
Xu Chu shouted excitedly at Mei Changge. Behind him, everyone’s faces were filled with excitement.
Indeed, they were on the verge of becoming Mei Changge’s personal guards, signifying a significant elevation in their status.
Mei Changge looked at the 5,000 Mystic Yang soldiers behind Xu Chu and nodded in satisfaction.
These soldiers should be the best among the Mystic Yang soldiers. All of them had basically reached Innate Level 2 or Level 3.
When the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool advanced to Grade 7, most of them had only broken through to Innate Level 1.
These soldiers had not only undergone training in the Phaseless Soldier Tower but had also engaged in battles against the Forest race, bearing the weight of their iron-blooded determination to kill.
Even if they were not soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles, they had at least become elite soldiers.
Regrettably, both the Red Lotus soldiers and the Mystic Yang soldiers suffered significant losses in the aftermath of their confrontation with the Forest race.
Nonetheless, it was inevitable for casualties to occur in the heat of war. At the time, Guo Jia’s compensation included provisions for the families of fallen soldiers as part of their settlement fees.
However, some soldiers did not have family members by their side, so Mei Changge asked Guo Jia to keep the compensation.
They might be useful in the future.
As Mei Changge and Xu Chu spoke, Zhang Xiang walked out of the Red Lotus soldier pool.
The pure qi in his body had completely transformed into red pure qi, and he had inherited the cultivation techniques of the Red Lotus soldiers.
“My lord!”
Zhang Xiang arrived in front of Mei Changge and said excitedly.
Initially, he had only reached Postnatal Level 2 in his cultivation. However, atter joining the soldier pool, not only did his strength surge by three levels, but he also acquired the cultivation technique passed down among the Red Lotus soldiers.
This made him even more confident in raising his strength to the Innate realm in a month.
“Good. It seems that the Red Lotus soldiers will have another general soon.”
Mei Changge nodded in satisfaction.
“Thank you for the opportunity, my lord. I will never let you down!”
Zhang Xiang shouted with a serious expression.
“Zifeng, bring Zhang Xiang to Yubai.”
“Yes, my lord!”
Lin Zifeng replied and left the valley of the soldier pools with Zhang Xiang.
Only Mei Changge, Xu Chu, and 5,000 Mystic Yang soldiers were left in the valley. “Zhong Kang!”
“Yes, my lord!”
Xu Chu walked up to Mei Changge with a serious expression.
“Go on. Enter the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool!”
Mei Changge looked at Xu Chu, whose strength had reached Innate Level 8, with a satisfied expression.
Perhaps Xu Chu could enter the Transcendent realm this time.
“I’m surprised the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool would require 50,000 destiny points to advance to Grade 6.”
Mei Changge’s gaze landed on the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool on the interface. He realized that the destiny points needed to advance to Grade 6 were still 50,000 points.
This surprised him. He had thought that it would take at least 100,000 destiny points to advance from Grade 7 to Grade 6.
Achieving Grade 6 demanded a unique willpower statue, and there were no indications of such a statue in the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool through which he had progressed from Grade 9 to Grade 7.
However, the appearance of the soldier pool had already changed.
“If that’s the case, it should be the same for the Red Lotus soldiers to advance to Grade 6. It only needs 100,000 destiny points!”
“But I wonder if there will be two types of soldiers like the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool. ”
Mei Changge felt that the probability of such a situation was not very high. After all, it was a coincidence that the Golden Crow Guards appeared in the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool.
While he was thinking, Xu Chu had already entered the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool.
Mei Changge took out the Blessed Stone and condensed a fire lotus.
It was the fire lotus formed by the Nine Yang Spirit Fire. He threw it into the soldier pool.
Xu Chu, who was standing in the Mystic Yang soldier pool, felt a heat in his body as if he was standing in a hot spring. Slowly, the water in the soldier pool boiled.
“Golden Crow Guard!”
Mei Changge communicated with the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool. Then, the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool became increasingly lively.
Xu Chu endured the heat. Although the water in the pool was hot, he could feel the water constantly changing his physique.
It was as if a ball of flames was constantly tempering his body, making it sturdier and stronger.
“It seems that the transformation has succeeded, but it’s not over yet!”
Mei Changge observed Xu Chu and sensed that he was already undergoing the transformation into a Golden Crow Guard. The transformation would be deemed complete when he could no longer feel the tempering of his body.
Mei Changge did not find any information on having two soldier types in a pool on Star Web.
It was as if there was no such situation at all.
“It’s about time!”
Mei Changge looked at Xu Chu’s transformation and realized that he was no longer as uncomfortable as before. Moreover, he had reached the peak of
Innate Level 8.
After all, it was just a transformation. It was understandable that his strength had not advanced.
“Mystic Yang Soldier Pool, advance!”
Mei Changge stared and swiped 50,000 destiny points from the interface and added them to the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool.
Earning 50,000 destiny points from the new commoners left Mei Changge highly content with Xu Changqing’s efficiency in managing the population.
As the destiny points were added, a golden light descended from the sky. It was like a huge golden pillar that enveloped the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool.
“Lotus Flower Blessed Land is helping the soldiers to advance?”
Seeing this golden pillar of light, Mei Changge revealed a puzzled expression.
Mei Changge quickly noticed that waves of spiritual energy came from the Lotus Flower Blessed Land and surged into the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool.
Others could not see it, but Mei Changge saw two statues slowly appearing above the Mystic Yang Soldier Pool in the golden light.
One was a three-legged golden crow, and the other was a small sun.
It was as if the three-legged golden crow was chasing and playing with the small sun.
“Using the power of the Blessed Land to condense statues. So that’s how it is.”
Mei Changge not only felt a subtle willpower from the statues but also a power from Lotus Flower Blessed Land.
“The little sun represents the Mystic Yang, and the golden crow represents the Golden Crow Guards. Makes sense.”
Mei Changge nodded slightly. It seemed that after advancing, there were no other changes to the two soldier types. They were still independent existences.
When the golden light dissipated, Xu Chu, who was in the soldier pool, felt a huge spiritual energy continuously surge into his body..
