Chapter 293: The Luck of the Right-Handed Man, and the Obtained Divine Artifact
"The Commander-in-Chief."
In the front hall of the mansion on the island in the middle of the Jialu River, Hongmei reported to Li Dingguo, "According to your order, our military has already sent half of its personnel to the source of the Wuding River along with half of the soldiers from the five major legions and tens of thousands of craftsmen from the first battalion of craftsmen."
"In a month at the latest, the soldiers will arrive at their destination, and the military will move into the three islands in the middle of the lake."
"According to the military plan, these three islands in the middle of the lake will be used to build a military building branch, a logistics branch building, and a residential area for core generals."
"This is to ensure the safety of these three important departments after we get away from our base camp here, with the help of the five elements compound formation that you personally set up on the three islands in the middle of the lake."
Yesterday afternoon, Li Dingguo set out from the source of the Wuding River and returned to the base camp riding a golden eagle. He informed Cao Yongxiang and Hongmei of the general details of his trip.
Let them launch the Wuding River attack and development plan as soon as possible to buy time for a new round of major development of the Renaissance Army.
One step faster, every step faster, no doubt about it.
If you don't develop quickly, the enemy will be improving all the time, and the Renaissance Army will fall behind in the future.
In this complex and ever-changing end of a dynasty, falling behind means being beaten, which means that you may be destroyed by the enemy at any time.
Because of the unusual movement in Wuding River, Li Dingguo killed the Prince of Dai in one fell swoop. In the world of cultivators, this news could not be concealed for too long. The Fuxing Army also had the potential powerful enemy of Dai Palace, which put more pressure on it.
Some information obtained through the Military Intelligence Department shows that the Dai Wang Mansion in Jin Province is the local force with the largest number of warriors in the Ming Dynasty.
In this regard, even the two more wise princes, King Tang and King Zhou, are not as good as the Prince of Dai.
After learning about the ambitions of the Dai Palace from the prince of the Dai Palace, Li Dingguo felt relieved.
This is easy to understand. It would be strange if a royal palace that is ambitious and always thinking about rebellion is not strong.
"Well, just arrange it."
Li Dingguo nodded, then looked at his two capable right-hand men.
"Xiangzi, Hongmei."
He said to the two people who had just returned to the island in the middle of the lake from the military building, "I'm telling you two to come here today because there's a happy event."
"I went out to do business this time and successfully eliminated two groups of powerful enemies. I gained a lot."
"Not only did we learn some secrets from the ancient mythological period, but we also obtained two artifacts."
"Xiangzi!"
Li Dingguo waved his right hand and a strong wind blew out, lifting a tarpaulin against the wall nearby, revealing a pitch-black lotus platform.
"This is a divine weapon. I took it from the prince of Dai Palace after I killed him, who was causing trouble at the source of Wuding River."
"This is a very good innate divine weapon. Even in ancient myths and legends, it should be one of the top-ranked innate divine weapons."
"You should recognize it as your master now and refine it into your own divine weapon."
"With this divine weapon, your foundation will surpass most of the geniuses in the world today, and your combat power and ability to survive will also soar!"
"I already have three innate divine weapons. As for this innate divine weapon, Xiangzi, you can just refine it directly."
"This twelve-grade lotus platform artifact has been burned and purified by me using the innate formation of my natal artifact, the Great Cauldron. All hidden dangers have been eliminated. You can go ahead and refine it without worry."
He stopped Cao Yongxiang, who was so startled that he jumped up from his seat, and told him not to refuse.
"Great Commander!"
"I……"
Cao Yongxiang's face turned red with excitement, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
He took a deep breath, regained his composure, saluted Li Dingguo with a solemn face and determined eyes, then walked to the twelve-tier lotus platform and sat down.
Cao Yongxiang first put his five hearts toward the sky, closed his eyes and meditated, circulated his main practice technique for a full cycle, and restored his condition to its peak.
Then he opened his eyes, used his internal energy to force out a drop of his own blood essence, wrapped it with his divine sense, and sent it into the core center of the innate formation of the black lotus artifact.
Today, this lotus platform was burned and purified by Li Dingguo using his natal divine weapon, the Human Emperor Cauldron, and has become a completely ownerless artifact. Therefore, Cao Yongxiang's operation of recognizing the master and refining it went very smoothly.
A moment later, he imprinted his own essence, blood and soul on the core of the innate formation of the lotus platform, successfully completing the crucial task of refining and recognizing the master of his own divine weapon.
"Whoosh!"
The lotus platform in front of Cao Yongxiang turned into a stream of black light and sank into the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows. It floated in the middle of the sea of consciousness and slowly rotated.
A piece of information suddenly entered Cao Yongxiang's mind.
After a while, he received the message from his life artifact. He opened his eyes with great joy and said to Li Dingguo and Hongmei who were looking at him, "Commander-in-chief, Hongmei."
"I just refined this life artifact that recognized its master. It is very powerful."
"It's called the Twelfth-Rank Black Lotus of Destruction. It has super strong defense, as well as powerful mental attack and defense abilities."
"It's just that my current cultivation level is too low, and I can't really bring out even a glimmer of its power."
"It has eight seals in total. Three of them have been unlocked, and the fourth seal is also beginning to loosen."
"If it can devour a large amount of the evil spirit of heaven and earth, it will probably be released soon. By then, I can barely exert a little of its power." "It can also remove the seal by devouring the spirit of a large number of practitioners."
"But this approach is not advisable. It will incur a large amount of karma and damage the practitioner's own luck. The gain will not outweigh the loss."
"The prince of Dai Palace who was killed by you, the commander-in-chief, was obviously eager for quick success. This is because the places where the evil spirits of heaven and earth are located are not good places and are quite dangerous."
"So he used the magical power of this Black Lotus of Destruction to devour a large number of flesh and blood creatures, causing his own luck to be greatly damaged. This attracted you, the Great Commander, and then he died tragically on the spot."
After the lotus pedestal, his natal divine artifact, recognized its master, Cao Yongxiang inherited some information about the artifact. He understood why the prince of Dai Palace, who obviously had great luck, died so easily.
"So that's it."
"I have always been curious as to why a genius with great luck, who was able to inherit an innate divine weapon, was killed by me so easily. It turns out that it was because his luck was greatly damaged and he brought about his own destruction."
Li Dingguo resolved the doubts in his heart, then looked at Hongmei beside him, and with a wave of his hand, another tarpaulin covering something near the wall was lifted aside, revealing a huge stone with a radius of three meters.
This huge stone looks round on three sides, and only the ground part is very flat, just like a white Go piece.
It is crystal clear all over, flashing with a bright white light.
"Hongmei, I think this big stone is more magical than the black lotus platform that Cao Yongxiang just refined."
"It should be a good artifact, but its true condition is still unclear."
"You should refine it now and turn it into your own divine weapon, so that you can find out whether it is an innate divine weapon or not."
To be honest, Li Dingguo is more optimistic about this extremely magical big stone than the twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction.
This is because ordinary divine artifacts simply cannot accommodate hundreds of millions of wronged souls, nor can they withstand the overwhelming resentment.
Li Dingguo was full of expectations for this magical big stone.
"Oh, I'll go and refine it right away."
Hongmei's face also turned red, and she was very surprised. She did not refuse after hearing that. She stood up and walked to the front of the huge stone and sat cross-legged on the ground.
She knew Li Dingguo's personality very well. Once a decision was made, he would never change his mind under normal circumstances.
Since this unknown artifact stone was given to me to refine, I would just accept it with pleasure.
Having said that, she was also very envious of Wan'er's natal divine weapon.
This is also normal. No cultivator can resist the temptation of a life-originated divine weapon.
Even Li Dingguo was no exception.
If his quota for his natal artifact had not been filled, he would definitely have refined these two artifacts himself.
This is human nature.
Hongmei performed the same operation as Cao Yongxiang just did. It took her about a quarter of an hour to successfully refine the ownerless stone into her own natal artifact!
"Whoosh!"
The moment Hongmei refined it, the mysterious and unusual big stone turned into a stream of bright white light and shot into the sea of consciousness between her eyebrows.
Hongmei then closed her eyes and looked at the information conveyed to her by the natal artifact that she had just refined.
After a while, she opened her eyes in shock and said to Li Dingguo in disbelief, "Commander-in-chief, this artifact stone is extraordinary!"
"It's called the Earth Emperor Stone, and it has nine seals. Now that I have refined it into my own divine weapon, it has automatically unlocked one seal."
“It is a supreme Yin artifact with spatial attributes. Since my current cultivation is too low, I can only activate a nine-zhang square Yin attribute space.
"Otherwise, my soul can't bear it."
"Not only is it indestructible, but it can also be used to smash enemies! If there is no life-defining magic weapon to fight against the enemy of the same level, no one will be able to withstand it."
"The power it can exert is closely related to my cultivation level, and also depends on the strength of my divine consciousness."
"With my current level 5 cultivation and the current strength of my divine consciousness, I can barely control it to bombard the enemy, but I can only control it to attack the enemy once or twice, and because my own divine consciousness is too depleted, I have to take it back to my divine sea."
"This Earth Emperor Stone artifact has only had one seal removed so far, and I don't have much information about its inheritance. The specific situation will only be known after more seals are removed."
Hongmei finished telling the information about the natal artifact she had just obtained, her face still full of shock.
There is no way, this surprise is just too big.
Even with Hongmei's temperament, it is difficult to calm down immediately.
Today is definitely a lucky day for both Hongmei and Cao Yongxiang.
What does it mean to sit in someone else's home and blessings will come from heaven?
This time it is.
As a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, Hongmei and Cao Yongxiang knew from what they had heard and seen that a cultivator with an innate magical weapon was simply not on the same level as a cultivator without one.
