It's dusk again.
Xu Wenwu walked out of the stone house and continued to walk his horse. Several immortals from Taichu Palace had also returned and began to deal with today's thirty thousand words.
With yesterday's experience, Xiaoyu has learned the trick of screening first and then remembering, and finally he has not fallen into the situation of needing to clean up his soul again.
Xiaoyu kept complaining while reading: "It's useless, long-winded, and full of nonsense! It's all the same, and after reading it for a long time, there are not a few useful words at all!"
Wei Yuan also felt the same. Today, there were 900 useful words out of the 30,000 words, and the rest were all sealed as garbage. Then everyone briefly exchanged what they had learned during the day.
Wei Yuan explored three hundred miles in the direction of Quliu Town, basically identifying the topography and landforms, as well as the small groups of humans or shamans scattered in this area.
This time, the exploration of Weiyuan once again confirmed the limitations of the Dao Foundation. Now that Wanli Heshan and Qingming have become one, the effectiveness of Wanli Heshan will gradually weaken after leaving the realm.
Wei Yuan repeatedly tested the degree of weakening of the road foundation during this reconnaissance trip, and then calculated that when leaving Qingming for about 1,500 miles, Wanli River and Mountain would be weakened below normal, and by 3,000 miles, Wanli River and Mountain would be almost incapable of functioning.
Now, at that time, Wei Yuan will have no physical body and will be unable to use Dao Foundation.
This range will continue to expand as the realm expands. The current Qingming realm is thirty miles, which means that Wei Yuan can move within a hundred times the limit of the realm. If it is further away, the Dao foundation cannot be manifested, and a full body of combat power
I can only perform 20% to 30%.
Fifty times the boundary is another dividing line. Within this boundary, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains can receive Qingming's bonus, making it stronger than before. Outside this boundary, it will be weaker than normal.
After getting this result, Wei Yuan was both happy and worried. What he was happy about was that he still had some room for movement and would not be trapped in the realm. What he was worried about was that he could not go anywhere else for the time being. If he wanted to go far, he had to manage well.
The territory in front of us is one mile long, and Wei Yuan has hundreds of miles of new places to explore.
There is actually nothing to reconnoiter in the direction of Weiyuan, the main purpose is to test the attenuation of the road base. Baoyun and Jiliu are much further away from the front for reconnaissance.
Ji Youli explored nine hundred miles in one breath and basically figured out the distribution of the Wu Clan's strongholds along this route. This direction was not the focus of the Wu Clan, so he discovered eight large and small strongholds and two small tribes along the way. The strongholds stocked up troops.
There are five thousand in total, and each of the two tribes has more than 4,000 people.
Baoyun's efficiency was astonishing, and she was able to explore 1,500 miles in one breath. About a thousand miles away from the Qingming Realm, there was already a tribe of 50,000 people and four small tribes with a population of several thousand.
This area was originally the territory of Ningxi County. After the defeat of the human race, the Wu clan gradually began to infiltrate, and it seemed that they were preparing to take back their lost territory.
At the edge of Baoyun's exploration area, a witch military camp was also discovered, with tens of thousands of soldiers stationed inside. Baoyun also noticed some traces of witch activities near the military camp, and it was getting late, so she did not continue the adventure.
Come back before nightfall.
Many witches' abilities will be greatly improved at night, and the daytime in the witchland is much shorter than in other areas, at least one hour less every day. Although Baoyun's concealment level is not inferior to that of Faxiang Zhenren, there is no need to put herself in danger.
So I was going to wait until daylight the next day to explore deeper.
One thousand five hundred miles is exactly the watershed for Weiyuan's Daoji performance. However, when the boundary expands to forty miles tomorrow, the watershed will be pushed forward to two thousand miles. If we wait another day, Weiyuan's combat power can still be
Improve again.
However, time is running out now. After killing the great witch, the Witch Clan has a temporary window of opportunity. The opportunity is fleeting, and naturally it is impossible to wait for Wei Yuan to slowly improve his abilities.
After several people discussed it, they decided that Bao Yun would continue the investigation tomorrow morning, and then Wei Yuan and Ji Liuli would follow up. Once they found out that there was no big witch in charge of the camp, they would raid on the spot and try to destroy the camp in one go.
Xiaoyu stayed in the realm, and Zhang Sheng will follow the three of them westward. However, he does not need to take action during this trip, just in case. Although Zhang Sheng's immortal sword is banned and its power is halved, it can still damage the Dharma if used with full strength.
After nightfall, all the human monks who were outside the realm retreated to the realm. Once a witch clan enters the realm, Wei Yuan will sense it, but outside the realm, it is easy to be attacked by the witch clan.
After several people discussed their actions for the next day, they went about their business.
Wei Yuan will patrol the entire area to check the growth of the two nightshade nightshades and the training progress of the horse. In addition, the seriously injured person will also need to be inspected. Once the injury worsens, Wei Yuan can save a life with the power of the realm.
But when Wei Yuan inspected the stone house, he unexpectedly saw that there was still light in the house, and Xu Wenwu was writing at his desk.
Wei Yuan was a little surprised. Hasn't this guy finished writing today's portion? Why is he still writing? He walked into the room and asked. Xu Wenwu said that 30,000 words a day was too difficult, so why not take advantage of his good condition this year?
Stay up late and write more so that you can be more relaxed tomorrow and not be so tense.
Wei Yuan also felt that it made sense. He did not originally intend to force Xu Wenwu to this point, but now that Baoyun is responsible for this matter, it is not easy for Wei Yuan to intervene. As for whether the effect is good or bad, let's observe it for a few days.
Say it again.
Wei Yuan left the stone house, thought about it, and went to the monk camp to get a bowl of meat porridge cooked with Liang rice and gave it to Xu Wenwu. This guy had a limited body and would be hungry if he stayed up late to fight at night.
When Xu Wenwu saw Wei Yuan, he was startled and the pen in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Wei Yuan didn't say much, he just put the porridge on the table and applied a force to keep the porridge warm all night long.
After Wei Yuan left, Xu Wenwu suddenly wiped his eyes a few times, then picked up the bowl and drank it all in several gulps. After eating the hot meat porridge, Xu Wenwu immediately became energetic and his cultivation level increased slightly.
Xu Wenwu put the bowl down heavily, and then burned the midnight oil to fight, deciding not to rest until he was exhausted. Wei Yuan returned to the main peak, picked up a piece of rock, and then cut it into neat stone bricks with the Fairy Sword, and then refined them with Taoist power.
After one pass, the stone bricks will shrink in size and become extra strong. Now Wei Yuan doesn't need to practice, so he simply plans to build something by himself. Everyone can't meditate in the ruins all the time.
In less than half an hour, Wei Yuan had cut more than a thousand bricks and was still far away from building a house. At this time, Ji Liuli's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, asking everyone to go north of the main peak.
Thirty miles north of the main peak, outside the boundary, there is a stone valley, about ten miles long. In an open space in the valley, there are medicine bowls, pestles and other utensils, and a newly refined stone table is stacked with ten
Piles of black powder.
When Wei Yuan and others arrived, Ji Liuli pointed at the black powder on the stone table and said, "Gunpowder."
Wei Yuan was startled, had he really done it?
Everyone was excited and wanted to see how powerful the magical gunpowder was. They saw Ji Liuli shooting a spark from his fingertips, igniting a small amount of black powder, and then with a bang, a huge flame appeared,
Finally turned into black smoke.
"I have tested different ratios, and the power is still somewhat different. You cannot mix them at will."
Ji Liuli ignited several piles of black powder at the back. As expected, the flames were high and low, big and small. The largest one was probably more than double the size of the smallest one.
The row of gunpowder in front has been tested. Ji Liuli pointed to the row of gunpowder behind the stone table and said: "These are the best proportions. Do you want to test the power?"
Wei Yuan carefully took a ball of gunpowder in his hand. It felt very novel, and then he kneaded it a few times in the palm of his hand. As a result, a fiery heat suddenly burst out in the palm of his hand, and his fingers were slightly loosened, and it spurted out from between the fingers.
Fireworks.
Wei Yuan spread his hands, feeling a little embarrassed. How could this thing be so unrubbed? Didn't it need to be set on fire to burn? He patted the black dust off his hands, and his palms were still as crystal clear as jade, without leaving even a scorch mark.
When Xiaoyu saw it, he also tried rubbing it in his hands, but the result was that the same explosion occurred in his hands, his palms were numb, and a few light yellow marks were left on his palms. Xiaoyu remained calm and rubbed them quietly by patting away the black dust.
Removed the burnt skin.
Xiaoyu then remembered that Wei Yuan's body was abnormal. He was fine with the gunpowder in his hand, but that didn't mean he was fine too. A small layer of his skin was still burnt.
Naturally, Zhang Shengbaoyun would not do such a stupid thing. The two of them used Taoist power to wrap a ball of gunpowder and ignited it. Naturally, they knew the power.
Ji Liuli took out three more raw materials, threw them into the medicine bowl and pounded them with a pestle. All the materials were crushed into fine powder. Then they were blown out of the medicine bowl by Dao Li and mixed evenly in the air. Ji Liuli opened his mouth and blew, and the powder was
It turned into particles the size of grains of sand.
This time Ji Liuli made gunpowder that could fill a soup can, and finally condensed it into a ball, holding it in the palm of his hand.
Ji Liuli used his power to ignite the gunpowder ball in his hand. With a loud bang, the medicine ball exploded violently, and then the flame was restrained by Ji Liuli within a radius of about a foot. The ball of power expanded for a while, then calmed down, and everything in the ball was
It was thick smoke. Ji Liuli released his power, and the thick smoke immediately spewed upwards. A hot wind blew over everyone.
"That's all the power is." Ji Liuli said.
Wei Yuan recalled his feelings just now and said: "The smaller the range, the greater the power, right?"
"Indeed."
Zhang Shengdao: "If this is the case, then there are many things that can be replaced. For example, if Xuan Shui is dripped into the heart of the Earth's Fire Flame, and the water and fire collide, it will be a hundred times more powerful. Even the shell of a meteorite can explode."
Ji Liuli was a little surprised: "You still know how to refine weapons?"
Zhang Sheng's face turned slightly red and he said vaguely: "I understand a little bit."
Bao Yun thought thoughtfully and said: "This power is just our initial test. There must be a lot of room for optimization in the formula. If you add some things, the power may be doubled. As for what to add, you can do it one by one.
Give it a try."
Zhang Sheng nodded and said: "This matter can be left to Tiangong Palace. They have many monks responsible for adjusting the formula. They can try more than 10,000 new formulas in a month."
"The power of this thing is mediocre, why bother?" Xiaoyu was puzzled.
Wei Yuan said: "There is one advantage, it is cheap. A drop of Xuanshui plus a drop of Earth Fire Flame Heart is enough to make thousands of stones of gunpowder. When so much gunpowder explodes, it is much more powerful than two drops of water and fire essence."
"No matter how much fire there is, it's useless. No matter how much ordinary fire there is, can it burn the Dharma to death? Even I can't be burned to death." Xiao Yu said. He has the Immortal Sword Sun, and his physical body is not strong, but he is exceptionally fire-resistant. In this regard,
Its resistance is only slightly inferior to Wei Yuan's.
At this time Baoyun said: "Since we have gunpowder, why don't we try guns?"
