Chapter 207 Cultivation, Wealth (4000 subscription required)
The party will eventually end.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
"General, I toast you a glass." The always aloof Black Eagle Marquis suddenly stood up and said, "Although we have been together for more than a thousand years, it is not long, but my admiration and respect for you are real. In the future, as long as you say a word, I, Black Eagle, will always be at your service."
There was some strange light in Xu Yang's eyes. Before, all ten captains of the Youxin Army and the two strongest army lords were turned into sub-demons by his "Twelve Source Heavenly Demon Flow" sub-seals. Just now, he took back these twelve sub-seals... At the moment of taking them back, the twelve immortals were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions became normal.
That's why there was a scene where Xuan Ying Hou stood up and toasted Xu Yang.
"Yes, General, I, Mei Xin, would like to offer you a drink as well. I will be happy to serve you." Mei Xin Hou's delicate voice was sonorous.
One by one, the twelve immortals stood up one after another, looking at Xu Yang with their glasses raised with sincere eyes.
Wow~~~~
With someone taking the lead, the other immortals also became enthusiastic and stood up with their glasses raised in excitement.
"General, I salute you!!!"
In the huge Tiankui Pavilion, the shouts of ninety-nine immortals echoed. This scene shocked all the beautiful girls drinking nearby and made them speechless. Even the fox demon beside Xu Yang had a strange look on his face and glanced at him with curiosity.
What kind of general is this?
It is very clear about the system of the God-Swallowing Army. It can be said that it is half of the God-Swallowing Wolf Clan. There are at least several hundred immortal armies among them. However, it is the first time that it has seen subordinates so attached to the general who is about to be transferred.
Most of the monsters have fought their way up from being weak. They are very vigilant and extremely selfish. It can be said that words like "will do anything to achieve the goal" and "cold-blooded and ruthless" are compliments for the monsters.
However, this time, it actually witnessed such a sincere farewell banquet, and it couldn't help but develop a strong interest in Xu Yang who was being toasted.
Xu Yang certainly didn't know what the fox demon was thinking. He just stood up, filled his own glass with wine, and said earnestly, "Everyone, drink this cup!"
A swishing movement.
The moment Xu Yang finished speaking, all the immortals present raised their heads and drank from the cups, with Mei Xin Hou even shedding tears.
This scene moved all the immortals and beautiful women present.
Xu Yang was not a heartless person, of course he was touched, but he was also very clear that it was not because the feelings between him and Mei Xinhou had really reached such a deep level. This should be one of the "side effects" of the "Twelve Sources of the Heavenly Demon Flow", but it was a side effect that was beneficial to him.
It can be seen from the toast just now that these twelve immortals who had been transformed into sub-demons by him for a long time were the first to stand up. This shows that even though they have lost the sub-seal, their feelings for Xu Yang are still very deep from the bottom of their hearts, far deeper than those who have not been transformed into 'sub-demons'.
Of course, Xu Yang didn't know how long this would take, but it should take the 'sub-demon' a long time. For example, Xu Yang didn't see any sincere emotions in the eyes of the twelve immortal military lords in the first experiment, but more of a momentary impulse driven by the atmosphere.
It's a custom that becomes obsessive.
"What a terrifying Twelve Sources of Heavenly Demonic Flow. Even if the creatures that I have 'demonized' for a long time have lost their sub-marks, they will still subconsciously have a favorable impression of me in their hearts." Xu Yang was worried, and once again felt the extraordinaryness of the Sutra Pavilion that the system took him to. "In this state, as long as I don't ask them to do anything that harms their fundamental interests, they will probably agree..."
What is the most fundamental interest? If Xu Yang asked them to exterminate their own tribe, or if Xu Yang asked them to commit suicide, this would violate the instinct of living beings and would most likely be rejected.
“But even so, it’s scary enough! By the way, since the Twelve Sources of the Heavenly Demonic Flow can be cancelled, then I will enslave them on a large scale and replace a batch every few hundred years. As long as the time is long enough, then by then, won’t the entire God-Devouring Wolf Clan be loyal to me?” Xu Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of a possibility.
After a moment of excitement, Xu Yang rejected this plan. First, the cost-effectiveness was too low. If he enslaved the whole world, it would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive. Even if he started from the top of the Devouring God Army and enslaved them downwards, it would be too slow. After all, the entire Devouring God Army was stationed in scattered locations. With this time and energy, Xu Yang might have broken through to the Venerable level. Second, there were risks. If he enslaved a large area, he would find problems if he was careful to observe. Wherever Xu Yang went, the immortals he came into contact with would have great goodwill towards him.
One or two of them might be because they have similar temperaments and are of the same mind as Xu Yang, but if all of them are like this, then there is a big problem. After all, most of the monsters are selfish, and it is impossible for a monster to make all the monsters obey and respect it.
In general, income is not proportional to effort.
"Hey, I was almost misled by this magical effect." Xu Yang shook his head. He didn't need all his subordinates to respect him from the bottom of their hearts. He just needed to be strong enough to make all his subordinates respect him on the surface and execute his orders without fail.
Great power belongs to one's own world, great power is the foundation!
After all, if the strength is not enough, even if all the God-Swallowing Army obeys Xu Yang's orders 100%, it doesn't matter. The God-Swallowing Overlord can beat Xu Yang half to death or even kill him at any time.
The banquet continued and Xu Yang's thoughts were wandering.
The main purpose of "The Twelve Sources of the Heavenly Demonic Stream" is to capture the twelve peak kings and increase your own strength 1000 times.
This side effect is just the icing on the cake.
……
After eating and drinking, Xu Yang went to pay the bill. His subordinates wanted to go first, but Xu Yang didn't let them.
The meal cost more than 100,000 yuan, which is not cheap to be honest.
Even if they are immortals, most immortal military lords only have this much in their entire fortune, and the marquises rarely spend more than 100,000 demon yuan on a drink.
However, these more than 100,000 monsters did not take seriously the monsters that had just made a fortune on the Yanji Continent.
Walking out of the gate of Mingtingxuan, the soldiers of the Youxin Army said goodbye to Xu Yang one by one, and then flew away arm in arm. With so many resources on them, it would be a shame not to do this war well if they didn't make a lot of purchases to have fun.
"Have you made up your mind? Do you want to retire instead of being a soldier in the God Devouring Army?"
The rest of the monsters had left. Xu Yang looked at Yao Xinhou and Mei Xinhou, who were staring at him eagerly.
Xu Yang was a little confused. Yao Xinhou chose to follow him because he said at the beginning that he would put the fate of the entire Snow Wolf Clan on his shoulders...but what about this Mei Xinhou?
If it was because of the Twelve Sources of the Heavenly Demonic Stream, then why didn't the Black Eagle Marquis and the others say they wanted to retire and follow me? Could it be that they were attracted to me?
Thinking of this, Xu Yang shuddered.
He did not deny that Mei Xinhou's voice was really soft and sweet, but when he thought of Mei Xinhou's pink furry body with her limbs on the ground, Xu Yang could not help but smile bitterly.
"General, I've thought it through. I may not be able to become a king even if I stay in the Youxin Army for billions of years. It's better for me to follow you who have a bright future." It was Mei Xin Hou who expressed his opinion. Yao Xin Hou had expressed his feelings when he first met the need. At this moment, he just had a firm look in his eyes and said nothing.
Some advocate freedom, some worship the strong, and some respect strength... Perhaps Mei Xinhou both worships the strong and respects strength.
"Well, okay." Having said that, Xu Yang did not hesitate to refuse. "You can handle the procedures for resigning from the military by yourselves. Is that okay? After you have done that, I have something for you to do."
"Don't worry, General."
"Well, go ahead. By the way, don't call me general anymore. I'm also quitting the God Devouring Army."
Yao Xin Hou and Mei Xin Hou were stunned for a moment, and said respectfully in unison: "Yes, Your Highness."
Xu Yang is now accepted as a disciple by the Heaven-Swallowing Overlord and deserves the title of His Highness.
Looking at the two demons' departing backs, Xu Yang couldn't help but curl his lips. He didn't expect that he would also have the moment to attract the demons with his charm. The next moment, throwing these wild thoughts out of his mind, Xu Yang turned and walked out of the square. He wanted to find a place to stay here first.
There are still some things that need to be done by his two subordinates.
Mainly some miscellaneous matters. The Green Fox Clan, Jiesuo and other monsters who escaped from the first prison of the Huoyang Clan with him are still staying in the world ring he prepared for them separately. There has been no suitable environment to release them, but Xu Yang has always provided resources for them to practice.
If we were to say what Xu Yang is most concerned about, it would definitely be the Green Fox Clan. After all, they were able to escape from the First Prison thanks to the treasure Huiyin Mountain obtained from the Green Fox Clan. The three Yat monsters have now all broken through to the cosmic level. After thousands of years of reproduction, the number of the entire Green Fox Clan has exceeded 100 million for the first time, and they are no longer in a state where they could be exterminated at any time.
Although they cannot come out, Xu Yang bought the largest world ring, which is 100 million kilometers long, wide and high. The environment has also been specially cultivated by the merchant. Even if the number of the Green Fox Clan increases thousands or even tens of thousands of times, it is more than enough, not to mention that Xu Yang feeds resources in from the outside world from time to time.
With Xu Yang's current level, even if just a little leakage occurs between his fingernails, the entire Green Fox Clan will be full.
As for Jiesuo, after more than a thousand years, his strength is still at the Domain Lord level, seemingly stuck at the eighth level of Domain Lord. A few days ago, when Xu Yang probed his consciousness into him, he saw Jiesuo bullying a few little female wolves, and he had no anxiety about being stuck in this realm... So Xu Yang simply stopped worrying about him.
These are what Xu Yang is more concerned about. As for the captives captured before, they were all handed over to Jiesuo for management. Xu Yang didn't care whether they were dead or alive, and let Jiesuo do whatever he wanted. However, it seems that they are now Jiesuo's younger brothers. Occasionally, Jiesuo will allocate some resources to them, and they are living a good life.
Providing them is a piece of cake and can be easily afforded. Moreover, these are all familiar monsters in the First Prison and have helped him, so Xu Yang will naturally not ignore it.
"However, I forced Xiong Da to remain in seclusion for nearly a thousand years, and he has made rapid progress. I feel that he will be able to achieve immortality after waiting for another few thousand years." What Xu Yang wanted Yao Xinhou to do this time was related to Xiong Da.
This was a confidant recruited by Xu Yang when he was still in the Xue Xin Army. At that time, Xiong Da was a ninth-level realm master and his comprehension of the laws was not high. However, he was able to fight the Iron Ape, who was recognized by the Origin Law, in a 40-60 fight and won Xu Yang's recognition.
During the past thousand years, he followed Xu Yang to the Youxin Army. He did not fight with it, but was asked by Xu Yang to comprehend the laws. Only then did he discover that this bear boy not only had strong combat power, but also had a fast speed in comprehending the laws. After more than a thousand years, he had raised his comprehension of the laws from more than 40% to nearly 70%.
This speed is already very strong, excluding those cheaters like Xu Yang and those geniuses who appear once in tens of millions of epochs.
Therefore, Xu Yang decided to use the invitation to inherit the Dark Destruction God's Envoy on Xiong Da. It happened that Xiong Da was now in the Realm Master stage, which just met the requirements of the inheritance crystal. This thing would be nothing but a dead object if kept in his hands, but it would be a rare good thing if used to train trusted subordinates.
I believe that with this inheritance, Xiong Da will be able to achieve the title of king no matter what. With Xu Yang's support in the future, even higher realms will be within his reach.
"It's a good deal to exchange an invitation card that I don't need for a confidant that I value." Xu Yang muttered to himself while lying in his nest in the hotel.
If it were someone else, they might think that Xu Yang's deal was not cost-effective. He clearly had twelve sub-seals of the "Twelve Source Heavenly Demon Stream". As long as he used them, he could get a ready-made confidant, which would be much better than cultivating him slowly.
But the account cannot be calculated in this way. The feeling of getting a confidant for free and cultivating a confidant yourself is different.
Getting a confidant for free is like picking up a stone from the roadside. It won't be a pity if it is thrown away or broken. But if you cultivate a confidant yourself, you will pay attention to him/her and invest in him/her... Relatively speaking, the latter is more like a confidant, while the former is just an obedient cannon fodder.
This is why Xu Yang liked to play cultivation games in his previous life. He liked watching his "crops" thrive.
Of course, the premise of raising 'virtual crops' is that it does not affect your real self.
Therefore, Xu Yang had never said before that he wanted to train his subordinates on a large scale. Only after he made a fortune in the Yanji Continent this time and had extremely abundant material resources, did he begin to train them with some high-level resources that would not affect his own life.
"Let me see what treasures I got from Yanji Continent this time?"
Xu Yang's consciousness probed into the world ring specially prepared for accumulating wealth. Inside, there were piles of treasures.
The most eye-catching things are the silver treasure chest and a small bowl placed on the top of the treasure pile.
The silver treasure chest is the wealth left behind by the king who self-detonated when Xu Yang chased into the kingdom of gods, and this bowl is naturally the Juzun Bowl that the Overlord Tuntian took out from under the dojo of Venerable Jinfeng.
Before, the Sky-Swallowing Overlord was not in a hurry to take it away. Instead, he planned to wait until he returned to the core base camp of the Sky-Swallowing Wolf Clan and let Xu Yang use this Juzun Bowl to exchange it for valuables.
It’s just that Xu Yang was delayed by something, so the item is naturally still in Xu Yang’s hands for the time being.
"Haha, let me calculate how much you are worth."
