Chapter 622 ChoiceWhat an amazing feeling!

Once Qing Chi has a complete grasp of the military's morale, she will be able to investigate her own military intelligence.

As she gained more control over military intelligence, she naturally came to know the three refining directions of the military.

"The first paper money to communicate with the underworld requires 100,000 jin of 100-year-old qingtan wood pulp, mixed with Chenzhou cinnabar to make talismans, and made into purple money. While burning the purple money, burn 900 jin of South China Sea agarwood to temper the sea of ​​​​mind. Finally, use countless Yin Qi to saturate the body. Continue for 27 days, and it will be completed."

"The second Yin Fu Zhensha Guard consumes three thousand kilograms of thunder magnetic iron, the five-colored stone gall of Taihang, and eight hundred military evil spirits, and finally a three-day and three-night retreat."

"The third Devil May Cry gate-sealing soldier will draw a gate-sealing formation, gather tens of thousands of ghosts, and arrange them into a formation of ten thousand ghosts paying homage to the ancestor. Then, use three thousand-year-old zombies to refine corpse oil, wrap the troops, and throw them into the tide of Yin Qi. They will swallow up endless Yin Qi, and the corpse oil will be completely transformed into corpse wax. Only then will it be considered a success, and withdraw it as soon as possible."

After Qing Chi learned the specific price, he was stunned for a while.

Such a price is really too huge!The ghost girl knew very well that even if she and the entire Qing family were sold together, she might not be able to raise such resources.

The ghost girl told Qing Yan the specific price.

Qing Yan's face turned pale after hearing this, and he reluctantly comforted her, "Girl, don't worry. Jianjun has reached this stage, and we can't do it by ourselves."

"Let's go ask the city lord for help!"

"Once we succeed in building our army, it will be of great benefit to Baizhi Xiancheng. They will definitely be happy to support us!"

"Judging from the current situation, this is actually the best time for us to build our army."

Qing Yan saw it very clearly.

Li Xiangshang and Qing Chi reported the matter together, and indeed, they received attention from Baizhi Immortal City.

The city lord's clone personally handled the matter. After learning the specific price, he asked, "So little?"

In the past history, Baizhi Xiancheng has also tried to build an army many times.

Many times, we are stuck at the initial stage of rallying the troops’ morale. Without the morale of the troops, everything that follows is just empty talk.

Now, Qingchi has not only gathered the morale of the army, but has even advanced to the stage of military branch.

The White Paper City Lord's clone looked at Li Xiangshang and sighed sincerely, "Your talent is really useful. It can not only lower the standard of military cohesion, but also reduce the resources for military training. This is at least a 30% reduction, right?"

Qing Chi immediately turned his head and looked at Li Xiangshang.

The ignorant ghost girl then realized that the price she had learned had been reduced by 30%!Li Xiangshang also looked at Qing Chi: "My talent is not the key, the key is Miss Qing Chi. Not everyone can rally the troops, it must be sincerely supported by many people."

The city lord's clone nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Xiangshang's words.

She thought for a moment and said, "The cost of cultivating this kind of army can be borne by my White Paper Immortal City. However..."

The city lord's clone changed the subject and made a request.

The requirement is simple and straightforward, which is that the cultivated military forces can be kept by Qingchi, but from now on they will be affiliated with Baizhi Xiancheng.

Li Xiangshang looked at Qing Chi. The military branch was not his, so it was naturally not his place to make the decisions.

Qing Chi was stunned and felt uncomfortable. This was something she had worked so hard to condense, so why would it belong to someone else?The Lord of White Paper City saw the girl's hesitation and said calmly, "We in White Paper City have tried to build an army many times in the past, but all failed."

"There have actually been quite a few times where the military's morale has been successfully united."

"But there are many steps to building an army, and this process is time-limited. The most regrettable time was when we pushed it to the last step, but there was no time left and we failed!"

"Your attempt this time is more reckless than any attempt in our Immortal City's history."

"The only advantage lies in Li Xiaoyou's talent."

"Can you spare even 10% of the resources needed to develop a branch of the military? Without resources, you are doomed to fail."

"Even if we have the resources, we may not succeed. By then, these huge losses will have to be borne by Baizhi Xiancheng alone."

"Even if the army is successfully established in the end, to be honest... my White Paper Immortal City may not be able to change the overall situation just because of your new army."

Every word the Lord of Baizhi City said made sense, leaving Qing Chi speechless.

As for Li Xiangshang, he was a pure ascetic monk, not good at speaking, so he just watched.

Qing Chi thought for a while, frowned, and said in a heavy tone: "Lord City Lord, I can't make this decision. I want to go back and discuss it with my father."

The White Paper City Lord nodded and smiled: "Go ahead."

On the one hand, even if the military affiliation was agreed upon, Qing Chi would still be needed to lead the army for a long time in the future. On the other hand, she was confident that Qing Chi would agree to this condition.

"Oh, there is one more request."

"If my city is to pay for it, the military type will be the Devil May Cry Gate Sealing Soldier."

Not only will the military branch be under the jurisdiction of Baizhi Xiancheng, but even the category of the military branch needs to be finalized.

Qing Chi lowered his head to look at the road and remained silent as he went back.

Li Xiangshang could not bear the pressure of silence and took the initiative to speak to comfort him.

Qing Chi: "Well, it does make me feel uncomfortable to give the military branch to others, but I believe that the Lord of Baizhi City will not treat us unfairly."

"But I just heard that even if we pass the military establishment stage, there will still be many more hurdles ahead, and it is very likely that the establishment of the army will fail in the end."

"If that's the case, do you think I can still get Jiao Ma back under such conditions?"

Li Xiangshang: …

He didn't expect that what really troubled Qing Chi was this.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Xiangshang also felt that it was very reasonable.

The demon cultivator sighed deeply: "I have another piece of bad news for you. Since the establishment of the army, I have been maintaining my talent. But my strength is hard to sustain all the way. At most, I can only do it for another half a month, and then I have to stop."

"Once you do that, I'm afraid failure is inevitable."

Qing Chi was surprised: "Ah, how could this happen?"

"I said before, we are just forming a temporary army." Li Xiangshang spread his hands, looking a little guilty. "Fortunately, even if it is only halfway, our temporary army can still use military tactics, but it is much less effective than the regular army."

Qing Chi shook his head: "I'm not asking this. I want to ask, Senior Li, how much did you pay to maintain your talent? If the price is too high, we should stop now."

"I want to take Jiao Ma back. This is true. It is my sincere intention and my own business."

"But I don't want to see my friends and family around me suffer losses because of my selfishness!"

"Hahaha, you girl." Li Xiangshang suddenly felt a warm current in his heart.

He sincerely suggested: "My talent can only last for a short period of time, which is something that the Lord of Baizhi City does not know. So, I advise you to stop while you are ahead and let Baizhi Immortal City take over."

"Take advantage of this opportunity and go to the Lord of Baizhi City to make your intentions clear and try to get him to release the Jiao family kid first."

Qing Chi shook his head, his tone very hesitant: "Can I ask? I don't dare. I am competing with the city lord for a man. Jiao Ma is so good, I am afraid the city lord will not let go easily!"

Li Xiangshang: …

He thought for a moment and said, "I think you can boldly ask for this!"

"We have already reported the matter concerning the military morale. After all this time, the Lord of White Paper City must have investigated you in advance."

"She must have known that you and Jiao Ma have a close relationship and have secretly agreed to spend your lives together." "You made this request while taking advantage of such a good opportunity of the military exchange. I feel that the city lord is likely to agree to it."

Qing Chi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is this really the case?"

She shook her head again: "This matter is very serious. I am worried that if I take Jiao Ma away, the city lord will suppress our family. I still need to discuss it with Dad."

The two of them used their spiritual sense to talk secretly all the way, and when they returned to their temporary residence in the city, they learned that Ning Zhuo was visiting them.

Qing Chi was immediately delighted, leaving his worries behind, and took the lead to step over the threshold: "What? Xiao Ma came here on his own initiative? Where is he? Take me over quickly."

Li Xiangshang said, "Not good!"

Then, he reached out and grabbed Qing Chi, who turned his head and looked at Li Xiangshang in confusion.

Li Xiangshang sighed and said, "The Lord City Lord's methods are indeed brilliant."

"She knew that the Jiao family kid would have a huge influence on you, so she sent him to act as a lobbyist and try to persuade you to agree to this deal."

Qing Chi: “Is that so?”

Li nodded affirmatively: "Nine out of ten!"

After a while.

Jiao Ma (Ning Zhuo) shook his head: "I came here purely out of my own selfish motives."

Qing Chi immediately showed a look of joy: "Xiao Ma, you came here specially to see me!"

Ning Zhuo nodded: "Indeed, I came to see you."

"If you want to unite the military, I'm afraid it will be very costly."

"If we seek help from Baizhi Xiancheng, we will probably be controlled by others."

"Tell me what you need, maybe I can help you!"

Qing Chi shook his head and sighed: "Xiao Ma, you don't know that the cost of training military species is really too high, it's scary to tell you!"

She told him the specific price and the conditions offered by the Lord of White Paper City.

Qing Yan nodded, but there was not much surprise on his face.

"We can't cultivate the military on our own."

"Belonging to Baizhi Xiancheng is inevitable. If I were the city lord, I would also make this request. After all, we are just ghosts, not even humans, let alone the city lord's confidants."

"If you really want to lead the army alone, then in the future, there will be a second voice in the dark and wet swamp."

Li Xiangshang suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this: "So that's how it is."

He was just practicing hard, he was not stupid, this experience gave him many inspirations.

"The second voice? What does that mean?" Qing Chi looked confused.

Qing Yan explained briefly, but Qing Chi immediately waved his hand and said, "We are originally the people of Baizhi Fairy City. Our village is safe thanks to the protection of the Fairy City. How could we possibly go against the Lord of Baizhi City?"

"That's hard to say." Li Xiangshang thought to himself and subconsciously looked at Ning Zhuo who was sitting next to him.

Qing Yan frowned slightly and gritted his teeth and said, "We can accept that the military branch belongs to Baizhi Xiancheng. But the choice of military branch is not good. We'd better choose Yin Fu Zhensha Guard!"

Qing Chi exclaimed again. In her opinion, it didn’t matter which of the three military branches she chose.

Qing Chi didn't expect that Qing Yan would be so obsessed with this little detail.

Qing Yan sighed and explained to his daughter, "The Devil May Cry Sealing Guards is to set up a formation on the soldiers' bodies to seal all kinds of ghosts in the formation, which is equivalent to confinement."

"On the one hand, it can be used on the battlefield to temporarily imprison some troublesome ghosts. On the other hand, soldiers can use magic arrays and other means to train and discipline ghosts and conclude pet contracts with them."

"If we choose this branch of the military, Baizhi Xiancheng will be able to have double or triple the military strength."

"Over the years, too many ghosts have been imprisoned in Baizhixian City."

"But it takes a lot of resources to raise these ghosts. The cost of maintaining the Devil May Cry Gatekeepers is at least dozens of times that of the other two branches of the military!"

“This puts us at the mercy of others even more.”

"Another point."

"It feels terrible to seal a ghost into your body. Even though each of us ghosts has a strong yin energy in our bodies, we are more suitable for this task than human cultivators."

"Ghosts are foreign creatures after all. It is very difficult and painful to practice with them. When that happens, many of our elders will suffer!"

When Qing Chi heard this, he shook his head decisively: "Then let's not choose this direction."

She looked determined.

The cultivators around her were all relatives of the Qing family. Some were uncles, and some were cousins. This group of people recognized Qing Chi and supported her, which was the most basic condition for the military to gather morale.

The ghost girl certainly didn't want these relatives and elders to suffer.

Li Xiangshang: "Since you don't choose Devil May Cry Gatekeeper, you can only choose from the remaining two."

Qing Yan nodded and said, "We choose Yin Fu Zhen Sha Wei!"

"We already have the 'Art of Carrying Soldiers and Carrying Evils'. Choosing this direction will save us more in the future. We can fight to support the war, and the maintenance cost will be the lowest."

"But every soldier has evil spirits that can suppress evil spirits."

"Even if our army fails to be established in the future, the evil spirit will still exist. It can be regarded as a benefit we have gained for our relatives and friends."

"Moreover, if we choose this, it will take us the shortest time. We only need to practice for three days and three nights."

Qing Chi nodded: "Okay, let's choose it."

"Ahem." Ning Zhuo pretended to cough three times and then said, "No, we should choose paper money to communicate with the underworld soldiers."

Qing Chi looked at Ning Zhuo: "Xiao Ma, what's your reason?"

Ning Zhuo looked at Qing Yan and said, "Before, I was about to state my purpose, but I didn't want to be interrupted. I am here to contribute funds to help us build a new army."

"One of the conditions is that you must choose the paper money to communicate with the underworld soldiers."

Li Xiangshang expressed his confusion: "The paper money soldiers take the longest time, requiring twenty-seven days, and consume the most supplies. After they are formed, their combat power is the weakest among the three directions. The bright speciality is that it allows the entire army to freely enter and exit the Yin and Yang worlds, and has more functions."

Qing Yan also frowned deeply and stared at Ning Zhuo: "Our opponent is the Lord of Wangchuan Mansion. Are we organizing such an army to attack the underworld, the enemy's lair?"

"This is simply courting death!"

Ning Zhuo opened his mouth and was about to explain.

Qing Chi: "Okay, Xiao Ma, I'll listen to you!"

Everyone:...
