Chapter 95 Refining Lingyun Grass

Li Kang stared at the low-grade Lingyun grass in his hand without blinking, gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Fight!"

After he finished speaking, he picked off a leaf of Lingyun grass, sent the cloud-like leaf to his mouth, and began to chew continuously. The taste of Lingyun grass is very good, the leaf is very fragrant and tender, and it is particularly tender to bite on. Crisp, but at the same time, it has a pleasant fragrance that slowly diffuses between the lips and teeth.

Li Kang has such a personality, when he has made up his mind to do something, he will not hesitate at all.

Soon, he chewed a whole leaf of Lingyun Grass and swallowed it down his throat.

Li Kang slowly closed his eyes, ready to guide the medicinal power of Lingyun grass to the heart.

At first, there was no reaction, as if what he had just swallowed was just ordinary food, he was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for the medicine to take effect.

After about a few breaths of time, Li Kang's originally calm brows suddenly frowned, and beads of sweat the size of beans began to seep out through the pores on his forehead, looking extremely painful.

At this time, he felt as if there were several crazy giant beasts in his belly, slamming wildly in them, as if they wanted to smash his belly.

Immediately afterwards, streams of light yellow liquid, like lightning, quickly converged towards the heart where the astral space was located, and the tendons leading to the heart were nearly burst by the yellow liquid.

Li Kang's consciousness was gathered in his body, he could see all this clearly, and he could feel the pain clearly.

The yellow liquid surged in the tendons and rushed towards the heart, like yellow angry dragons, baring their teeth and claws, and soon entered the astral space in the heart.

The star space with a bright starry sky in the sky was instantly filled with yellow gas-like objects, only the space inside the transparent crystal bubbles that had increased in size a lot and shone with a faint purple-gold brilliance, there was no such yellow gas-like objects. something exists.

Many star phantoms on the surface of the transparent crystal bubbles also spun rapidly, sucking wisps of yellow gas into them, and spewed out streams of milky white light that were much larger than embroidery needles from the other side of the star vortex. , lasing towards the nine-inch-high dark green centaur astrology.

After Li Kang's cultivation base was raised from the third rank of the Green Star Realm to the seventh rank of the Green Star Realm last time, the volume of the transparent crystal bubble increased a lot, and the phantom vortexes of stars on its surface also increased a lot. Now there are thousands of them. too much.

The milky white rays of light shot out from the other end of the vortex of stars, densely stuck on the nine-inch tall Sagittarius, and the Sagittarius immediately became a hedgehog-like existence.

These milky white rays of light soon submerged into the Sagittarius, and suddenly, the Sagittarius trembled slightly, and its volume began to expand slowly, as if it couldn't bear the violent energy impact.

At this moment, Li Kang felt as if countless knives were cutting his natal astrology and physical body, which made him extremely painful, his face became pale as paper, his brows were tightly wrinkled into a deep "Chuan", and beads of sweat continued to flow. The water seeped out, converging into streams of water flowing down his cheeks from his forehead, and the clothes on his back were already drenched with sweat.

However, no matter how painful it was, Li Kang did not give up, he gritted his teeth tightly and persisted...

An hour later, he hadn't completely absorbed the medicinal power of this patch of Lingyun grass.

Two hours later, he still hadn't finished absorbing the medicinal power of this piece of Lingyun grass.

It was not until a day later that Li Kang fully absorbed the medicinal power of a piece of Lingyun grass.

At this time, his whole body was soaked in clothes, as if he had just been salvaged from the water, his face was as pale as paper, and his condition was very bad.

However, Li Kang has no plans to rest, because his natal astrology has not yet reached ten inches in height, and because he has no extra time to rest, he must refine and absorb all the remaining leaves of Lingyun grass. Astrology can reach the state of Dzogchen.

Now, after absorbing a leaf of Lingyun Grass, the height of his natal astrology has only increased by about one-fifth of an inch.

He stretched out his hand, trembling, and picked off another cloud-shaped yellow leaf of Lingyun Grass, then put that cloud-shaped leaf into his mouth, and began to chew carefully...

While Li Kang was struggling to absorb the medicinal power of the low-grade Lingyun grass, the old army leader Lian who was in the same mansion with him was staring at the huge sand table in front of him in a daze.

Behind him stood the leader of the Shenji camp wearing a bronze mask with a grimace and a black robe.

He looked at the back of Lian, who was as majestic as a giant bear, with white beard and hair, and then looked at a table next to Lian, and saw that 22 gold medals and 22 additional scrolls had been placed on it. Covered with the letter of Zhao Wang Yinxi, his eyes were full of heavy color.

These gold medals and letters were all sent from HD, the capital of King Zhao, which meant to urge the old army master Lian to return to HD to report on his duties.

One gold medal and one volume of letters have been sent out for 22 consecutive days.

"Master Shenji, you said that Meng Tian led the army to retreat two hundred miles, and now the Qin bandits are 450 miles away from Wu'an City. What kind of conspiracy does Meng Tian have?" Veteran Lian The Lord looked at the area outside Wu'an City on the sand table, and asked without looking back.

Hearing this, the leader of the Shenji camp said solemnly: "Mr. Lian, Meng Tian must have done this to let you relax your guard so that you can report back to HD!"

Hearing this, the old army leader Lian frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "This old man will never let Meng Tian's trick succeed, this old man will never leave Wu'an City!"

After he finished speaking, he continued: "Battlemaster Shenji, do you think Princess Jixue of the Wei Kingdom will really lead her men to join us in Wu'an City to fight against the Qin army?"

"My lord, haven't you already negotiated with Princess Wei?" Campmaster Shenji asked without answering.

"I want to hear your opinion again!" Old Army Master Lian turned around, looked at Camp Master Shenji and said.

A flash of thought flashed in the eyes of the leader of the Shenji camp, and then said: "She wants to fight against Qin, she can only cooperate with you, she has no choice! This is why I brought her to Wu'an City!"

……

At the same moment, in HD, the capital of Zhao Kingdom, in the Zhao Palace, inside a majestic hall.

The pale young King Zhao, wearing a purple royal robe, was sitting on a large and luxurious throne, his face was full of gloom, his eyes were full of anger, and he was staring closely at the officials who were arguing endlessly below.

"Old General Lian Po is stationed in Wu'an City and doesn't return to HD, that's for guarding Wu'an City!"

"That's right, the old army leader Lian is the pillar of our country of Zhao. He sticks to Wu'an to protect the safety of the southwestern gate of our country of Zhao!"

"I didn't say it was wrong for General Lian Po to protect Wu'an, but now King Zhao has issued 22 gold medals and letters in a row, asking him to come back to report on his duties, but he insisted on not coming back. Being a courtier, disrespecting the king's order, this..."

"This is just not taking King Zhao seriously and taking credit for it. Why is it so difficult for Lian Po to go back to HD to report on his work? Isn't it just a matter of more than ten days? Besides, the Qin army has retreated hundreds of times now. Here, they will withdraw their troops if they can't chew on the hard bone of Wu'an!"

"If Lian Po doesn't return to HD, then he has an evil heart. Now that the Qin army is retreating, he is still looking for a reason not to return to HD. I implore the king to order the King Kong guards to dispatch and bring Lian Po back to the capital. condemn!"

"You fart, the old army leader Lian is loyal to King Zhao. He guarded Wu'an City and couldn't get away to return to the capital to report on his duties. He did it to defend the country of Zhao!"

"Huh! What a loyal old general Lian, unexpectedly, the king has issued 22 gold medals and did not come back. This is contempt for the king, and it is lawless. Such a person, Mr. Wang also said that he is loyal. , I think you are old-fashioned and confused! I implore the king to let the King Kong guards set off immediately, and arrest Lian Po and return to the capital!"

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Don't listen to Pompey!"

The two sides in this dispute, one headed by the right minister Pompey, threatened to arrest the old general Lianpo and bring him back to the capital, and the other side was headed by the left minister Lin Xiangru, who spoke well for the old general Lianpo.

King Zhao, who was sitting on the throne, stood up and said angrily: "Shut up, I have my own ideas about Lian Po!"

As soon as the king's words came out, the officials immediately stopped arguing, bowed their heads, and kept silent.

Zhao Wang took off a sword inlaid with precious stones from his waist, held it in his hand, and said loudly: "Grandpa Xu!"

"The old slave is here!" A white-haired old eunuch beside the young Zhao Wang hurriedly faced Zhao Wang, bowed and said.

King Zhao looked at Eunuch Xu, then glanced at the officials below, and said loudly: "Eunuch Xu takes Wang Jian, you take this Wang Jian to Wu'an City in person, and let Old General Lian report to HD. His last chance. If he doesn't return to HD, he will be accused of treason and escorted back to the capital."

After Zhao Wang finished speaking, he handed Wang Jian to Eunuch Xu.

"Eunuch Xu, you are going to Wu'an City this time, and bring the four vajra guards with you!" King Zhao continued.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" the aged Eunuch Xu took Wang Jian and continued to bow.

An obese middle-aged man among the officials below heard this, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

This person is the fat right-hand Pompey with a pair of triangular eyes.

"Your Majesty...no!" Zuo Xiangru rushed out to stop him. He knew the character of General Lian, and he would rather sacrifice himself than return to HD for the sake of Zhao Guo. , Escort Old General Lian back to the capital, he will surely die.

"Left Prime Minister Zuo, I've made up my mind!" King Zhao stared closely at Lin Xiangru, Prime Minister Zuo, with knife-like gazes in his eyes.

That tone was exceptionally firm and there was no room for negotiation.

When Lin Xiangru heard the words, he hesitated to speak, and finally sighed helplessly and retreated.

He knew that today he would never try to persuade King Zhao, so he could only write to the old military leader Lian, telling him to go back to HD no matter what.
