Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 646: Chapter 431: Everything Is Ready, the Cui Banner Army! (Double Chapter)

”All troops, heed the command: Hundred-men military array, attack the enemy!”

Xiao Peibai’s voice echoed through the mountains. The corps executed orders with exceptional precision, and in moments, various military formations were deployed across the mountains, defending the mining site from falling into enemy hands.

Xiao Peibai realized that the opponents came prepared; they weren’t swept away in a single clash by his large army. This proved that the gathered forces of those people were quite formidable.

”Peibai, can you handle it?”

Suddenly, Song Changming’s voice came through, invigorating Xiao Peibai’s spirit.

Song Changming’s return reassured him immensely, knowing that no matter what changes might occur next, his great marshal would support him.

”Rest assured, Grand Marshal!” At this moment, Xiao Peibai could not afford to show weakness, stating firmly.

He was determined to command this battle perfectly, striving to reduce casualties while defeating the enemy.

Song Changming did not appear immediately but observed the situation below from the sky.

The army needed training, especially his newly established Nineteenth Army with no historical achievements, which required real combat to forge an indomitable military spirit and strength.

If he were to be the ’caretaker’ in every matter, solving most difficulties, then his Nineteenth Army and all its soldiers would never grow.

Currently, this was an opportunity for practice.

The enemy was neither too strong nor too weak, just perfect.

In the end, Xiao Peibai did not disappoint, leading his army to victory in this battle.

While slaying countless enemies, the casualty control of his own troops was also quite ideal.

In Song Changming’s eyes, Xiao Peibai was a born commander, a rare talent in the military.

He was also the most competent officer Song Changming had groomed over the years of recruiting soldiers.

Afterward, interrogating the captured, it was confirmed to be the actions of a faction from Yun Province West Valley Road.

Song Changming reported this matter back to the capital.

After all, it wasn’t his Cui Bai Dao’s territory, and he couldn’t march his army freely.

If sanctions were to be imposed on that arrogant local force, it would have to wait until Prince Cui communicated with the Prince’s Mansion of West Valley Road to decide the course of action.

That was a matter for later, likely unrelated to Song Changming and the Nineteenth Army.

On a peak near the mineral vein, Song Changming sat cross-legged, browsing through items obtained from Baitian Temple and Master Baitian.

The items obtained were rather simple.

Numerous bottles and jars, either finished elixir pills or semi-finished ones or experimental items.

There was also a large stack of peculiar pill formulas and pill books, the value of which needed further investigation.

Besides, there was an almost vast amount of herbs, heavenly and earthly treasures, the value of which was clear and identified by Song Changming as the most valuable part obtained.

It must be said that although Master Baitian was contemptible, he was undoubtedly devout and attentive to the Dao of Alchemy.

Above his Great Demon identity was the title of Alchemy Celestial Master.

Just a pity that his lifetime of alchemical accomplishments would be buried with him.

Speaking of alchemy, Song Changming also possessed the qualifications of a Blue Level Alchemy Master.

These pill formulas and pill books, Master Baitian’s alchemical insights and experiences, were not wasted in his hands.

”Hmm?”

While sorting, Song Changming’s eyes suddenly focused on the various heavenly and earthly treasures.

He sensed a familiar energy fluctuation from them.

With a swift grab, a delicate small porcelain bottle was caught in his hand.

The bottle appeared small, with runes sealing the energy within.

The rune engraving technique was average; still, a trace of energy fluctuation managed to leak out, causing Song Changming to perceive it.

”Could it be...”

Song Changming had a suspicion, with a flick of his finger, the bottle stopper was pulled open by Gang Qi.

An immediate heat wave gushed out from the bottle.

Subsequently, the contents within the bottle were extracted by Song Changming using Gang Qi.

Only three drops of yellow-white liquid.

Yet, upon seeing these three drops of liquid, Song Changming’s spirit was instantly uplifted.

”Sure enough, it’s a top-grade spiritual object, Earth Core Fire liquid!”

What is Earth Core Fire liquid? Back then, Su Fengye painstakingly brought it from Yan Province, preparing for his breakthrough into the Grandmaster Realm.

Upon gifting it to Song Changming, it allowed him to open a Celestial Martial Vein on the spot.

For Martial Artists refining Qi, this is considered a top-grade item!

Not only can it open Martial Veins, but it can also assist Martial Artists in opening the Grandmaster’s Purple Mansion, increasing the success rate.

After using that Earth Core Fire liquid, these years, Song Changming has been searching for auxiliary items to open the Purple Mansion, keeping it in his thoughts.

Unfortunately, Yan Province was too far, and with demons rampant, without channels, even going there would not yield this item.

Originally, Song Changming had essentially given up looking for Earth Core Fire liquid, shifting his focus to other useful heavenly and earthly treasures.

Unexpectedly, in an unintentional effort, he found this item from Master Baitian’s belongings.

Of course, this is also thanks to Master Baitian’s alchemy, possessing enough rare heavenly and earthly treasure collections, allowing for such a fortunate find.

And there were a full three drops.

Observing the color, these three drops of Earth Core Fire liquid before him were slightly different than the one Su Fengye gifted back then.

Song Changming estimated that these three drops of Earth Core Fire liquid surpassed the quality of Su Fengye’s drop.

Its intense earth energy fluctuation spoke volumes of its quality.

Calling this item Earth Essence Blood would not be an exaggeration!

”With this, everything is complete, no need to struggle anymore...” Song Changming pondered for a moment, muttering to himself.

No need to specially seek treasure materials for breakthroughs.
