Chapter 619: Ning Zhuo's scalp tinglesQing Chi was surprised to hear Li Xiangshang say that he could help him create a temporary army.

She asked, "Is there such a talent in the world? This is too powerful, is it a top talent?"

Li Xiangshang touched the back of his smooth head and said truthfully: "It's just inferior."

Qing Chi immediately became suspicious: "With inferior talent, can you create an army? I am not a three-year-old child. I know how difficult it is to create an army. Every step is difficult, and it gets harder and harder as time goes by."

"You can create an army with just your inferior talent?"

Li Xiangshang could only add: "It is a temporary, temporary army."

"What kind of talent is that?" Qing Chi asked.

Li Xiangshang did not answer directly at this time: "Even if it is only temporary, for such a major event as building an army, we must consult with others."

"Why don't we go see your father first."

These days, Qing Chi has come to Zhuangyang Hospital to look for Jiao Ma (Ning Zhuo) many times, but failed every time.

I have also met Li Xiangshang several times.

Therefore, Li Xiangshang knew a lot about Qingchi's situation.

Soon, he found Qing Yan.

When Qing Yan heard that Li Xiangshang wanted to support Qing Chi and form an army, he was shocked.

But he did not ask about Li Xiangshang's talent, but about his motives: "How can my girl win the favor of Lord Li?"

Li Xiangshang touched the back of his smooth head and said, "I was ordered to come to Baizhi Immortal City because my Dragon Lord wanted to help Baizhi Immortal City survive this ghost tide. Therefore, solving the dilemma of the Lord of Baizhi City is the key."

"I brought the Golden Nest Monster this time, which can help people increase their Golden Swallow bloodline. With the help of the Spiritual Contract Refining Treasure Formation, it is almost certain that they will be able to refine the Golden Swallow Fork."

"I looked at the list of candidates at Zhuangyang Hospital and found that there was only one most suitable candidate, and that was Sun Tiesheng."

"I picked him and offered him the Golden Nest Monster Seed, but he refused."

"So I asked Dean Zheng for advice, and he told me to find the Sun family in the city and let Sun Tiesheng's family put pressure on him."

"I found it."

"As a result, the Sun family protected Sun Tiesheng."

"Alas, we are a family after all."

At this point, Li Xiangshang spread his hands and said, "Sun Tiesheng is the most suitable candidate. I have checked the list many times and I am sure that no one is more suitable than him."

"I had no choice but to ask Dean Zheng for advice again. He told me that the Sun family had calculated my situation and was fearless, so they suggested that I deliberately choose someone else to provoke the Sun family and Sun Tiesheng. He didn't believe that the Sun family would be indifferent to the ownership of the Golden Swallow Fork after arranging Sun Tiesheng to enter the Zhuangyang Hospital!"

Qing Yan listened for a long time, but still didn't understand, and couldn't help but frowned: "Then what does this have to do with you helping my girl build an army?"

Li Xiangshang laughed: "Just listen to me."

"I know that Miss Qing Chi likes a boy named Jiao Ma. He practices the Jiao family's martial arts and has a lot of yang energy. Although his current cultivation is weak, he will definitely surpass Sun Tiesheng in the future, or at least be on par with him."

"Thanks to Miss Qing Chi's many visits to Zhuangyangyuan, I know that Jiao Ma is quite quick-witted. He cleared his name and won the favor of the Lord of Baizhi Immortal City."

"I wanted to use the scorched hemp to provoke the Sun family and Sun Tiesheng."

At this point, Li Xiangshang looked at Qing Chi again: "But Miss Qing Chi and I have an agreement that we will not really choose Jiao Ma."

"I am willing to help others achieve their goals. This is my nature. Seeing Miss Qingchi coming over with high expectations and leaving disappointed time and time again, I feel bad."

"So, on the one hand, if I help Miss Qingchi build an army, it will be more likely for her to get a man. On the other hand, Qingchi and Jiao Ma are so close, Jiao Ma's momentum will definitely increase. When the time comes, I will spread the word that Jiao Ma has been selected, which will definitely make the Sun family feel threatened and stimulated, and finally agree to cooperate with me."

After hearing these remarks, Qing Yan fell into silence.

He thought for a moment, then looked up at Li Xiangshang with a complicated expression: "You are a kind-hearted person."

He looked at his daughter again, and sure enough, he saw Qing Chi looking at him expectantly.

So, the old father sighed deeply: "I have never been optimistic about their future. After all, one is from the human race and the other is from the ghost race."

Qing Chi immediately retorted: "In our village, there are also many good matches, and they are all marriages between the two tribes."

Qing Yan glared: "Those are just ordinary people. Our family's situation is different from the Jiao family's!"

Qing Yan said indignantly: "The old saying is so true, a girl should not be kept when she grows up! You have grown up, and you feel that your wings are strong enough..."

Qing Chi interrupted, "Dad, I am the master of my own life!"

"You!" Qing Yan was angry, but after all, she was his own daughter, what else could he do?

Qing Yan knew that if the conversation continued at this pace, it would inevitably lead to an argument. He took the initiative to return to the original topic: "I know that if I don't let you try it, you will definitely not be willing to do it."

"Forget it, I promise you this time, I will help you with all my strength!"

Qing Chi's eyes suddenly lit up. She had not expected her father to agree so readily. She thought there would be a lot of arguments.

"Dad!" Qing Chi hugged Qing Yan excitedly.

Qing Yan sighed again, patted Qing Chi's shoulder gently, and said in a rather bleak tone: "Dad is old, I hope you can find a good home."

"I have always believed that Jiao Ma is not a good match for you. Although I promised to help you, I have never changed my opinion on this point."

"Besides, the reason I agreed this time is mainly because I think this will be of great benefit to you!"

"Even if it's just a temporary army, as long as you can make achievements and gain the attention of the high-level officials in the Immortal City, it will definitely be of great benefit to your cultivation in the second half of your life!"

"In the end, everyone has to rely on themselves."

"If you succeed in your cultivation and reach the Nascent Soul stage, I will definitely not care about you!"

Qing Chi pouted: "Dad, I don't have any immortal talent. How can I achieve the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age? My current cultivation is already very good, okay?"

Qing Yan shook his head, looking like he was really helpless about his own daughter.

He looked at Li Xiangshang and asked carefully about what to do next in order to build an army.

Li Xiangshang was quite satisfied with Qing Yan's vigorous and resolute style, and immediately said: "Although it is only a temporary army, the steps for building the army remain unchanged."

"The first step is to rally the troops."

"The Three Armies Military Mirror says: The three armies are weapons, and the army's heart is the spirit - regard the entire army as a spiritual treasure, and the army's heart is the weapon spirit."

"It's like the finishing touch to a painting. Only with spirit can the three armed forces achieve true integration and cooperation."

Li Xiangshang turned his gaze and set his eyes on Qing Chi: "I think Miss Qing has been playing well recently and her reputation has risen rapidly. She is the carrier of the army's hearts."

"I should use the military strategy [Follow the Army's Heart's Direction] to guide the army's heart to gather as one, and bless her."

Qing Yan is a commander, at the Jindan level, and has his own vision: "These steps and military tactics are correct, but if an army can really be built in this way, then the White Paper Immortal City would have been built long ago, instead of the current city guards that are only for show."

"The military strategy [Follow the Army's Ambition] is not difficult and is easy to learn."

"But relying on this method to rally the army's morale is extremely difficult. Countless forces are stuck at this first hurdle."

Li Xiangshang was well prepared: "So, now is the time to use my talent."

"With my talent to help, rallying the troops shouldn't be difficult."

Qing Yan finally heard the key point and hurriedly asked, "May I ask what is the name of Lord Li's talent?"

Li Xiangshang scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "It doesn't sound very nice, it's called rotten fish filling the gap."

Qing Yan and Qing Chi looked at each other.

Half a day later.

On the outskirts of Baizhixian City.

Qing Yan and others led the team and once again started fighting with the outer reconnaissance cavalry of the Yin army.

The blue flame wrapped around the blue fire, dancing in the dark battlefield, light and fierce.

The Yinbing Cavalry immediately suffered casualties under Qingyan's powerful attack.

The ghost let out a shrill scream under the burning of the green flames, and finally its body turned into mist and melted into the air.

The cavalry quickly lost members, and a moment later, they were all destroyed.

The end of the battle does not mean rest.

Qing Chi walked on the devastated battlefield. As he walked, the green flames spread and attached to every wounded soldier.

The monks' wounds healed quickly and they looked amazed.

This is because many people are ghosts, and the qi in their bodies contains not only life force, but also death force.

This is very different from the human race. But this green flame is obviously full of vitality, which can stimulate the vitality of the ghost cultivators, but it does not hinder their dead energy.

"I didn't expect that Qing Chi's blue flame is so mysterious!"

“It’s really impressive.”

"But why didn't you take action before? We have fought so many battles. This would save a lot of healing pills."

Everyone was surprised, but also confused.

Qing Chi "complained" in public: "My dear uncles, it's not that I don't want to show off, it's my father who forbids me to do so!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and some people started scolding Qing Yan.

Most of them are related to Qing Yan and Qing Chi and have strong blood ties with them.

Therefore, even if he only has the strength of Foundation Establishment, he dares to point fingers at Qing Yan, the Golden Core, and say some weird things.

Qing Yan endured the "condemnation" from everyone and frankly admitted: "Qing Chi is my daughter. As the saying goes, the rafters that stick out get rotten first. I don't want her to be too prominent, so I'll keep her under control."

"Why are you letting her show off this skill now? There is a reason."

Immediately, Qing Yan told others about the establishment of a temporary army.

When the monks heard this, they all clapped their thighs in surprise and excitement.

"Oh, building an army, what a great feeling!"

"Then can we compete with the large forces of the Yin Army?"

"Is it so easy to build an army? It's a bit unreliable, Chief Qing Yan, don't be fooled by others."

Qing Yan waved his hand, responding to the increasing doubts: "Whether I was deceived or not, let everyone witness it next."

"The first step in building an army is to rally the troops."

"This step has stumped countless forces. It is extremely difficult!"

"As long as Qing Chi has the military spirit, everyone will know it at a glance!"

When everyone came back to their senses, an experienced foundation-building expert immediately asked, "If we want to rally the troops, we should naturally put it on you, leader Qing Yan."

"You are a Jindan, with the highest cultivation and the strongest strength. If the military spirit you have gathered falls on the Qingchi girl, what if she dies in the battle? This is not safe!"

Qing Chi suddenly became anxious: "I can do it!"

Immediately, she looked at Qing Yan with a worried look in her eyes.

Qing Yan waved his hand: "That won't do! I'm old, and the highest level of my cultivation is the Golden Core. What I want most is for my little girl to be successful and make great achievements."

"This is my selfish desire, do you accept it?"

The monks burst into laughter.

"Okay, Chief, you are too selfish."

"We understand, so what's the harm in accepting Qing Chi as the next leader?"

"Xiao Qingchi, your father has high hopes for you, you must not let him down. I heard that you have been looking for your human lover recently, this is not right!"

Qing Chi was immediately furious: "My father can't intervene in my private affairs, so don't intervene either!"

Everyone laughed again.

Qing Chi looked angry, but he was secretly grateful in his heart.

In order to rally the military, this must be publicized and recognized before it can be carried out. At the same time, its political significance is also extraordinary, which is equivalent to confirming that Qing Chi is the next successor.

No one else objected.

Qing Yan's prestige and the depth of his control over his relatives can be seen from this.

Of course, the most important thing is the close connection between them. They are closely related by blood and are a real family.

It's so easy to talk to a family.

Ning Zhuo walked out of the library.

The White Paper Fairy City is the largest stronghold of cultivators in the Yinchao Black Swamp Wetland. Super powers such as the Wanxiang Sect and the Soul-Devouring Sect all have bases here, and naturally the Quanshu Building also has bases here.

"Dear guest, please take care." The building manager personally saw Ning Zhuo off.

This time, Ning Zhuo entered the Quanshu Building mainly to acquire a military strategy called Chengbing Fuisha Shu, which cost him a lot of money.

The market price of military tactics is often higher than that of other spells.

On the one hand, when the art of war is put into practical use, it can often exert a power that most other methods cannot achieve. On the other hand, those who choose to buy art of war are often powerful people from big families. Those without power and position will not have any idea about art of war.

Ning Zhuo did not go back to Zhuangyang Courtyard. He also found out that Qing Chi often came to see him, which made him quite annoyed.

Ning Zhuo has been hiding in the giant paper statue to practice recently.

On the one hand, he was in charge of the Qianmo Lantern, so he could always contact Sun Lingtong. On the other hand, the giant paper statue was left by his mother, and here, he felt a sense of peace from the bottom of his heart.

But this time, something unexpected happened.

Just as Ning Zhuo was about to step into the giant paper statue, Qing Chi suddenly appeared.

The latter said excitedly: "Haha, Xiao Ma, you are here! I finally stopped you!"

Ning Zhuo frowned immediately, his expression cold: "Miss Qing, I have already made it clear to you in Feixin. My identity has changed, and our relationship is over."

Li Xiangshang stood behind Qing Chi and said, "Young man from the human race, do you know how much effort Miss Qing Chi has put in just to see you?"

Ning Zhuo snorted coldly: "You are quite nosy."

He also knew about Li Xiangshang's existence. After all, this information was easy to collect.

"You can go now. Don't disturb me while I am practicing." Ning Zhuo waved his sleeves and drove them away.

Qing Chi raised his head and laughed proudly: "Xiao Ma, look what this is?"

She showed a token with the seal of the Lord of White Paper City on it.

Ning Zhuo frowned, looking puzzled.

Qing Chi said: "I have a pass token. I can leave if I want to, and I can stay if I want to. You have no right to control me!"

Ning Zhuo: "How come?"

Qing Chi held his head high and chest puffed out, trying to build up the morale of the army: "I am now rallying the army's morale! Did you see that?"

Li Xiangshang beside him added: "We have reported this to the city lord and received her permission and appointment. Now, Miss Qingchi is the deputy commander of the city guards."

Ning Zhuo stared at Qing Chi, his eyes seemed to penetrate the ghost girl in front of him.

He suddenly said, "The first step in building an army is to rally the troops. This is... not easy."

Qing Chi wiped his nose and said, "It's a piece of cake for me."

She clenched her fist again and confessed to Ning Zhuo: "Xiao Ma, I am now highly valued by the city lord! Just wait and see, sooner or later, I will take you back!"

Ning Zhuo: ...

He thought to himself, "So, this is how it is?"

Thinking of the spell he had just bought, his scalp began to tingle.

Seeing that he was silent, Qing Chi thought that he was shocked by himself, and couldn't help but be complacent: "Xiao Ma, I came here to see you just to tell you this."

"I don't want to disturb your practice. I'm glad you didn't participate in that spiritual contract refining array!"

"I'm leaving now. You should practice well."

"Wait." Ning Zhuo suddenly interrupted, "You need to rally the troops, not on the battlefield. There are many remnants of soldiers here, and it was once a place of fierce fighting."

"Here I have a copy of 'The Art of Carrying Soldiers and Evil Spirits', which can help you collect military evil spirits and rally the troops on the battlefield!"

Li Xiangshang exclaimed, "'The Art of Carrying Soldiers and Carrying Evils'? This spell is extremely rare, but it's great. Now Miss Qing, your speed in rallying the troops has at least tripled!"

Qing Chi stared at Ning Zhuo deeply and almost shed tears: "Xiao Ma, I knew you didn't forget me!"

Now, Ning Zhuo's scalp felt even more numb.
