In fact, according to the momentum of her realm improvement at the beginning, breaking through the seventh level seems to be a matter of course. But when the sixth level was promoted to the seventh level, Alaya took the initiative to stop and maintained her realm at the sixth level.
fair enough. Alaiya's realm has grown so rapidly, probably a large part of the reason is that Qingyun distributed his sword energy to her. But Qingyun's sword energy and Alaiya's own sword energy cannot be integrated together. From the point of view just now, it is equivalent to a state where two kinds of sword energy coexist on Alaiya. Under such circumstances, going through the [Dao Dao Tribulation] from the sixth level to the seventh level, the risk is too high.
It's very simple. To practice swordsmanship, you must first understand what kind of sword you are practicing. After taking someone else's sword energy and learning other people's sword moves, do you want to change the sword way you follow to someone else's? There is still a lot of possibility in Alaiya now, and it is not necessary to practice the method I taught all the time. Before [Dao Dao Jie], it is still too late to change the way I practiced.
There are many kendos in the world, such as Junzi Sword, Zen Sword, and the sword I taught Alaya to kill people, many, many. But if there is no special path, you can only choose one path after the seventh level. Asking Daojie itself is heaven and earth asking you what path you have chosen. For example, after playing games and reaching the corresponding level, the system requires you to change jobs, and you can no longer be a casual player.
Generally speaking, Alaiya's realm improvement is quite smooth.
But I didn't expect that the promotion of Alaiya's realm would bring about such a weird change in the sky.
Fortunately, the time was very short, and it was indeed the time of continuous spring rain, which did not cause any commotion.
I'm still pretty happy about it. Although I knew that Alaiya would reach a higher level sooner or later, seeing her grow with my own eyes still filled my heart with joy. Alaiya didn't show any happy emotions, which is also normal. During this period of time, my life was not very peaceful, even more dangerous than when I was in Lingyun City.
Especially during this trip to the capital, she witnessed the colliding forces that tear the sky apart. The wider her vision, the more she feels small and fragile. It will take some time to get out of that shock. I plan to take her to the Demon Race again in the near future, and help her release her emotions and recover through a hearty killing of enemies. confidence.
After resting for two days, I returned my attention to the construction of Yuxi City.
He Yue is a bit of a workaholic. If possible, I plan to award him the title of "Iron Man". During my absence, Heyue has expanded into a considerable market. The business of distilled liquor and elixir has begun to take shape. It's clear from her filing that both are now in short supply.
However, with the resources that Yuxi City can obtain now, it can still only produce some basic pills. The main reason for this situation is that the combat power is not enough. He Yue also mentioned it to me several times:
"There is still an obvious problem in Yuxi City now, that is, the reserve of combat power is not enough. To put it simply, it is the lack of backbone. Remember Lu Ge? He was originally the commander of the army you appointed, and he has the strength of double swordsmanship. Including Felita's two apprentices, Yama and Yaqian have already realized the introduction of magic... But in Yuxi City, there are too few such people. Alaya, Felita, and the one you abducted from Lingwu Assassins, they all have good strength. If they form a small team to take risks, they can perform well, but if they are stationed in the five cities we currently own, it seems stretched."
I nodded, and He Yue continued:
"If we now have an elite army at the fourth or fifth level, we can organize them into expedition teams and let them regularly go to the realm of the demons to surround and kill some high-level demons on the premise of ensuring their own safety. family, bring back some precious materials. In this way, we can rely on the industrial base to produce more advanced pills and earn more profits."
I also agree with what He Yue said.
War is not a matter of one or two people, nor is it something that can be solved by simply improving the top combat power.
After a brief chat with He Yue on this matter, she suggested that I ask Fang Shisan for his opinion.
"With the money in Yuxi City, it is not impossible to recruit some people. However, the funds are not sufficient, so we should save as much as possible."
These are He Yue's original words.
When she said this, she didn't look at me, her slender fingers stroked the blue hair on her forehead.
I speculate that the fact that Li Neng brought the army here had a certain impact on Yuxi City. I am afraid that a large part of the high profits earned from pills and distilled wine was used to fill the big hole of the war.
It was not easy for Fang Shisan either, the training of the army made her go back to the City Lord's Mansion almost once a week. But every time she comes back, she is still very happy to spend leisure time with me. This time too, I told her about the matter, Fang Shisan thought for a while, and said:
"Well... the lack of a backbone is one problem, and the lack of arms production capacity is another problem."
Fang Shisan leaned on the wheelchair and said to me:
"During your absence, Li Neng brought people to Yuxi City once, and wanted to take back the four cities that were lost at the beginning."
Although I already knew the result, I still smiled and asked her:
"The results of it?"
Fang Shisan replied somewhat happily:
"He was beaten back by me. This time, the overall strength of his army has improved a little. He probably borrowed people from Lord Yunyang. But the command is still as bad as ever... As long as he is not willing to put down his face and hand over the command to Others, no matter how many times they come, it’s the same.”
Having said that, she paused for a moment and continued:
"However, we also paid a certain price. In addition to the casualties of the soldiers, the weapons and armor were also broken a lot, so we could only continue to purchase them from the territory of the sea of clouds. However, during the last battle, I found that our equipment was not very good. How far ahead. This time he got a batch of supplies from Lord Yunyang, and our advantage on this point will be gone."
This is within my expectation.
I replied:
"The weapons and equipment currently in use in the Sea of Clouds Territory are naturally much better than those in the Yunyang Territory, but they are impossible to sell to us. The weapons and equipment that we can buy with money must be the weapons and equipment that they have already eliminated. Of course, these cannot be much stronger than those in the Yunyang Territory."
Fang Shisan sighed slightly, and said:
"Yeah... I discovered this problem when I was in Tianxing City before. I can make the soldiers' actions more integrated through training; I can also use formations to raise their combat effectiveness to a higher level. But weapons , equipment, there seems to be no other way except to keep buying."
I rubbed my chin, lost in thought.
