Guan Hong continued to stroke his beard.

Liu Er stared at the Xuanhuang Mother Stone, coughed, and said, "My dear friend Ning Zhuo, you are thoughtful. To be honest, I am worried that I will be on the battlefield soon, but I don't have a suitable weapon. This Xuanhuang Mother Stone is at the Nascent Soul level, which can be used as the main material of the weapon."

Ning Zhuo laughed and stuffed the Xuanhuang Mother Stone into Liu Er's hand. "General Liu, I heard that Jin Li, the court master craftsman of Liangzhu Country, was sent to Canglin Immortal City half a month ago."

"Giving this meager material to General Liu to serve his country is the best way to put it to good use."

"This kid from the Ning family is a man who knows how to talk!" Liu Er felt very satisfied. He nodded slightly and looked at Ning Zhuo with deep admiration in his eyes.

After he received the treasure, he immediately promised: "Okay, you have contributed the treasure, and when we form an army, you will definitely have a place."

Ning Zhuo was overjoyed and immediately bowed, saying that it was an honor for him to join the ranks of the three generals and that it was a chance for him to avenge his family. The three generals were all Ning Zhuo's benefactors.

Since you are my benefactors, please accept this gift of gratitude from the other two generals.

Zhang Hei was much more straightforward than Guan Hong. He directly put away the Netherworld Black Soil and patted Ning Zhuo's shoulder vigorously: "Good boy, I appreciate your kindness. Let's drink together in the future!"

Guan Hong narrowed his eyes, put away the Blood Demon Stone, nodded to Ning Zhuo, and also recognized Ning Zhuo as a young foundation-building expert in his heart.

Ning Zhuo said: "Today, the three brothers of the opera world have sworn brotherhood. I am very lucky to be able to witness such an elegant event."

"It is a blessing for the country that the three generals work together."

"How about adding to the joy today and going straight to Master Jinli to order weapons?"

Liu Er nodded: "Okay."

So, the three Jindan took Ning Zhuo and quickly went to the weapon refining workshop.

Jin Li saw these three precious materials and examined them carefully, his eyes shining: "Good materials, among the Nascent Soul level, the quality is excellent, and it is top-notch."

Such a high evaluation made Liu, Guan and Zhang look at Ning Zhuo again.

"You three are all golden elixirs. Since you want to join the army, according to the task assigned to me by the court, I will make a magic weapon for each of you for free."

Jinli's tone was more casual.

This is because his cultivation is higher than Liu, Guan and Zhang, and has reached the Nascent Soul level.

Liu Er was well prepared and handed over a weapon drawing of the "Xuanhuang Sword".

Zhang He fumbled in his storage belt for a moment and took out one, which was the Black Snake Spear.

However, Guan Hong had no such plan.

Jinli gave him a list of weapons and asked him to choose.

Guan Hong flipped through them and picked out the Blood Dragon Sword.

Jinli then carefully inquired about the three people's usage habits and personally measured their hands, heights and other dimensions.

During the conversation, Jinli specifically asked: "These three treasures of yours are of amazing quality. Can you tell me where they came from?"

Liu, Guan and Zhang did not hide anything and recommended Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo couldn't get a word in before. Jin Li was not only a Nascent Soul cultivator, but also a master craftsman of two dynasties. He had a sense of pride.

At this moment, knowing that Ning Zhuo had taken out three precious materials, which were as high as the Nascent Soul level and were given to him directly, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

"The Ning family of Huoshixian City in Nandou Country?" After Ning Zhuo introduced himself, Jinli remembered the Ning family's power firmly in his mind.

In his opinion, the Ning family must be very powerful and have a deep financial background, as they could give such wealth to a young foundation-building boy who was traveling abroad.

Jin Li said to Ning Zhuo in a friendly manner: "My dear Ning Zhuo, if you still have precious materials of this quality, you may sell them to me."

"I am a master craftsman from Liangzhu Country. I will not treat you unfairly."

"It's okay to buy your precious materials at a price 20% higher than the market price."

Ning Zhuo smiled and said, "I am very lucky to be appreciated by Master Jin. I will keep your instructions in mind. If I want to sell precious materials in the future, you will definitely be my first choice!"

Jinli laughed when he heard this: "My friend, if you put it that way, there must be some precious materials. Why don't you take them out and let me see them?"

Ning Zhuo then took out several precious materials.

Zhang Hei was very surprised when he saw it.

Guan Hong narrowed her eyes.

Liu Er felt more and more regretful: "Ning Zhuo is so wealthy. He is only at the foundation-building stage, but he has so many Nascent Soul treasures. I have never seen such a thing in my life."

He thought again: "The Ning family must be a big family. As the son of the Ning family, Ning Zhuo must have a high status. He must have a powerful protector or a trump card to protect his life when he travels abroad with precious treasures."

"Since he has a Nascent Soul-level treasure, it is very likely that his means of protecting the Dao are also at the Nascent Soul level."

Thinking of this, Liu Er wanted to slap his head.

What happened then?

There are only three people in the Pear Garden Oath, which is so ugly.

It would be great to bring Ning Zhuo along!

Liu Er thought to himself, "If Ning Zhuo were my fourth brother, how could I have only got one piece of Xuanhuang Mother Stone?"

Jinli looked at these precious materials with shining eyes. He tried to soften his tone and put on a smile: "My dear Ning Zhuo, let me make a deal with you. Can you sell all these to me?"

As a master craftsman, Jinli has a natural desire for high-quality precious materials.

Now, he was sent by the imperial court to Canglin Immortal City with an important mission to forge advanced weapons and magic weapons. Therefore, he was even more eager for these high-end and high-quality treasures, and the demand was huge.

Ning Zhuo thought about it, and only selected three items, then bowed to Master Jinli. He said that he was not carrying these Nascent Soul-level treasures for his own use, but to bring them to another powerful force for a trade.

"However, trading in Canglin Immortal City, especially trading with Lord Jin, is also an honor for my Ning family and for me!"

"However, a portion must be left behind so that when I reach my destination in the future, I can have some goods to trade with, which will make it convenient for me to report back to the family."

Ning Zhuo's excuses came to him naturally and easily.

When Liu, Guan, Zhang and others heard this, they nodded secretly and felt that it made sense.

Jinli was even more certain that Ning Zhuo had a powerful trump card to protect him, or he must have a bodyguard following him in secret.

Although Jinli felt a little regretful that he didn't buy all of them, it is better to have something than nothing.

Such an unexpected surprise really made him happy.

As soon as he was happy, he said to Ning Zhuo: "My friend, although this is the first time we meet, we have a good impression of each other. Why don't you go to my private vault and choose a weapon?"

Jinli wants to make good connections.

His purpose was simple, which was to do more and longer-term business with Ning Zhuo and even the Ning family.

Ning Zhuo quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

This was also a pleasant surprise for him.

Jinli waved his hand, and the depression in the wall moved aside, revealing a secret door.

Ning Zhuo entered the secret door and saw several shelves.

Good job.

There were all kinds of weapons on the shelf, including axes, hooks, spears, knives, forks, swords, and halberds.

Ning Zhuo was somewhat indifferent to these things.

"Although I have worked hard to improve my close combat skills in the Wanyao Sect, I only practiced my fists and feet to make up for my shortcomings, but I did not learn how to use weapons, let alone this kind of long weapon."

"Besides, there are no eyes on the battlefield. I don't want to rush into close combat. It's safest to cast a spell and fight from a distance."

As a result, Ning Zhuo's selection range was suddenly reduced to an extreme, from hundreds of items to only three.

The first item was a drum. The drumhead was not made of ordinary leather, but a thin layer of dark silver metal engraved with many thunder and lightning talismans. It was called the Golden Thunder Drum.

The second item is a ring that emits a dazzling golden light all the time, called the Blade Ring.

The third item is an iron fan half a person's height with a leather cover, called the Iron Thorn Fan.

After Ning Zhuo carefully examined the three weapons, he was not very satisfied with them.

The Golden Thunder Drum looks like a magical instrument, but it is actually a weapon, used to hit people. In the process of hitting, the talismans on the drum surface are stimulated, releasing a strong electric current.

The sharp blade ring and iron thorn fan are both hand-held. The former is used for cutting and is a strange-shaped dagger. The latter is a medium-sized weapon similar to a stick. After hitting the target, it will form iron thorns and pierce deeper into the enemy's body.

Before that, he would try his best to retreat and keep a distance to avoid himself from falling into such an embarrassing situation.

Although Ning Zhuo had never specialized in military tactics, thanks to the foundation laid during his time at the Ning Family Academy and the horizons gained from his extensive reading, he knew that there was a big difference between fighting on the battlefield and fighting alone.

One of the most significant differences is cooperation.

On the battlefield, coordination is the most important thing. Once coordination is required, it means that individual monks must make the best use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

"My current combat strengths are the Five Elements Realm and Five Elements Magic."

"Long-range attack and long-range combat are my mainstream fighting style."

"As for close combat, I will rely on my comrades to defend me and try to avoid it."

This is one of the reasons why Ning Zhuo chose Liu Er, Guan Hong, and Zhang Hei. These three Jindan cultivators all have obvious physical attainments.

Obviously, all three of them are good at close combat.

Ning Zhuo took the iron fan and left the warehouse.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

When they parted, Jinli gave Ning Zhuo a token and said, "If you have any precious materials to sell, just use this token to see me directly."

Ning Zhuo showed a look of great joy, thanked him quickly, and put the token away carefully.

Liu, Guan and Zhang all showed more or less envy.

Anyone can see that a magic-level iron fan is far less valuable than a small token. This is because this token, to some extent, represents the relationship with the Yuanying-level master craftsman Jinli.

Seeing Ning Zhuo put away the token, Liu, Guan and Zhang realized that they could no longer treat Ning Zhuo as an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.

Putting aside other things, just talking about this relationship, if the weapons of the three of them need repair in the future, it would be best if they could contact Jinli again through Ning Zhuo and ask the latter to help.

Liu Er took Guan Hong and Zhang Hei to the City Lord's Mansion and successfully obtained three guerrilla generals' seals.

The City Lord's Mansion arranged their camp to the west of the city and provided them with hundreds of high-quality spirit stones, ordinary wood, tents and other supplies.

These supplies are of course very few and are only symbolic.

If you want to set up camp and build a decent camp, you have to pay for it yourself.

Liu Er sighed, "Next, we have to recruit soldiers from outside. This camp must be decent, otherwise it will be too simple and will be despised by the majority of monks. At least, it must be better than the Red Flower Camp."

Guan Hong stroked his beard in silence. He was only slightly richer than Liu Er. According to the normal standards of a Jindan cultivator, he was extremely poor.

Zhang Hei said, "I have quite a bit of wealth."

Ning Zhuo also said: "I can also donate some money, I have done my best."

With the money from the two of them, Liu Er bought basic supplies and set up camp.

He first chose a hill as the site for the camp.

A higher terrain will facilitate observation and the deployment of reconnaissance arrays, avoiding low-lying wetlands, and to some extent, preventing moisture and the spread of disease.

There is a small river on the back of the hill. The natural water source can save a lot of daily expenses.

Although this is the rear, Liu Er was meticulous and still set up three magic arrays.

One is the Skylight Echoing Array, which is arranged at the outermost edge and is used for reconnaissance and surveillance of the surroundings.

The second one is the Iron Wall and Copper Wall Formation. Once activated, it can raise the iron wall and copper wall in a very short time, causing the defense of the entire wooden camp to increase dramatically.

The third one is the Seven Star Chain Array, which can connect all the monks in the camp. On the one hand, it can be used for communication, which is very convenient. On the other hand, it can also be used in conjunction with many enhancement spells to evenly distribute the power of spells to all the people in the camp.

After setting up the triple magic array, it’s time to build the camp.

The camp was roughly circular, with the three generals' tents in the center. Surrounding it was the personal guard camp, which was currently empty. Liu Er, Guan Hong, and Zhang Hei all joined the army alone.

Outside the guard camp are the tents of ordinary soldiers. Usually, they are divided according to the type of soldiers. Currently, these are also empty.

After the camp is set up, obstacles such as wooden fences and chevaux de frise are placed.

According to Liu Er's plan, he also had to dig a trench. However, it would be embarrassing to do it himself. Anyway, it was safer in the rear. Therefore, the trench digging was arranged in the back, waiting for the reinforcements to come in, and then use them to dig the trench.

After the camp was mostly built, Zhang Hei and Ning Zhuo began to take action, posting notices in Canglin Fairy City, and vigorously promoting and recruiting.

The response was very enthusiastic.

"Have you heard? The conditions for recruiting the three generals' camps are that all spoils of war belong to the monks personally."

"Yes! In this way, we can conquer Qianfenglin and plunder along the way. The benefits will be unimaginable."

"Even the Barbarian Demon Camp doesn't have such good conditions!"

"But the three commanders are only at the Jindan level, not the Yuanying level..."

"How do you compare yourself with the Red Flower Camp?"

"Hmm? Now that I think about it, the Three Generals Camp is indeed a good place to go!"

A large number of monks poured into the three generals' camps.

The originally empty camp gradually began to see people.

After a few days, most of the camp had been filled.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Er summoned all the personnel and formally determined their affiliations and positions.

He appointed himself as the general, Guan Hong as the second general, Zhang Hei as the third general, and Ning Zhuo... as the military advisor.

It would be fine if it were just Liu, Guan, and Zhang, since they are at the Jindan level after all.

But Ning Zhuo was only at the foundation-building level, so how could he become the military advisor? On the surface, this position was second only to the three generals, but in reality, its power was comparable to that of the second and third generals.

Some people are not convinced.

On the spot, many people made loud noises and questioned the appointment.

Liu Er's face darkened and he was about to speak.

Ning Zhuo stood up with a smile.

Wood Element——The tree world is coming! Snap...

In just a few breaths, towering trees grew out, and their vines and branches were like dragons and pythons, occupying the entire reviewing field.

Countless monks were thrown to the ground.

Wood Element - Deadly flowers bloom.

The next moment, a large number of flower buds grew on the vines and roots.

After one breath, these flower buds swelled in the wind, and in the second breath, they bloomed one after another.

The petals are extremely sharp, like countless sharp blades, floating in the air.

Occasionally it would rub against a monk's body, immediately leaving a bloody mark.

A large number of monks dodged in a hurry, while some put up defense, looking very embarrassed.

Ning Zhuo stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, expressionless, and said, "Now, who else objects?"

He spoke softly, and the flower rain, under the effect of the spell, echoed clearly throughout the venue and in everyone's ears.

For a moment, the chaotic noise of people fell silent.

Liu, Guan and Zhang all changed color and looked Ning Zhuo up and down.

Liu Er gradually smiled.

Guan Hong stroked his beard gently.

Zhang Hei raised his head and burst into laughter.

In the forest, many foundation-building monks used various methods, some hiding in tree trunks, some standing on branches, looking back at Ning Zhuo with fear on their faces, and no one objected.

Rather be clumsy.

The three generals’ camp, the military advisor is offering wine!
