Invitation declined: Multiverse Mall is now open for business

Page 24A slight smile appeared on Zhu Di’s lips.

Having finally made it into the world of The Sword Stained with Royal Blood, how could we return empty-handed?

”Second brother, take the 3,000 battalion to visit North Korea. I heard that they have a lot of ginseng and medicinal herbs.”

Zhu Di then summoned Prince Han, Zhu Gaoxu, and gave him instructions in front of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian.

He wants to destroy the Jurchens.

He wants gold and silver jewelry!

He wants ginseng too!

”Third brother, take a squad from the Divine Machine Battalion and capture all martial arts practitioners within the Jin Kingdom. I want all the martial arts manuals they practice.”

Zhu Di then issued another order to Prince Zhao, Zhu Gaosui.

”By the way, tell the soldiers of the Five Armies Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Divine Machine Battalion that all the men of the Jin Kingdom are dead. As for women, if any of them catch their eye, each person can take one as a concubine.”

Zhu Di thought for a moment and said.

Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, ”???”

Eating and drinking, taking and robbing?

Is this an attempt to take the Jin Dynasty away in one fell swoop?

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Moving Army, the Big Project, the Big Plan [1. Seeking flowers and votes!]

The world of The Sword Stained with Royal Blood, Shengjing.

This is the capital of the Jin Dynasty. Since the Jin Dynasty occupied this place, no enemy troops have ever come near it.

Today, Shengjing City was breached in less than a quarter of an hour.

Because the Ming army that came to attack was carrying the heads of high-ranking Jin officials such as Huang Taiji, Dorgon, and the Eight Banners leaders.

The city of Shengjing, defended by only a few thousand men, collapsed without a fight.

”Don’t waste anything. Take everything—tables, chairs, clothes, blankets.”

”Apart from gold and silver jewelry, everything else belongs to whoever gets it.”

”Take as much as you can. As long as you can take it, it’s okay even if you have to demolish the house.”

······

The 53,000-strong cavalry, along with the troops from the Five Armies and the Divine Machine Battalion who arrived later, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, began to demolish the city walls and houses like ants carrying food.

In particular, the palaces of Huang Taiji, Dorgon, and the residences of other high-ranking Jin officials were thoroughly excavated.

The imperial concubines, princesses, consorts, and princesses were all taken away by generals or soldiers to become their concubines.

”I······”

Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, arrived late with a group of generals. Even though he was somewhat prepared, he couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth and his eyelids twitched repeatedly when he saw the demolished Shengjing city.

”Hahaha... I stripped this fox fur coat off a prince, my wife will definitely love it.”

”You son of a bitch Wang Er, you’ve struck it rich this time! You actually managed to find a few tiger skins, worth at least several hundred taels of silver.”

”Li Dagou, you are the envy of everyone. You actually snatched a barbarian concubine as your own. Are you trying to experience what it’s like to be an emperor?”

”It would be wonderful if there were another opportunity like this in the future.”

······

The soldiers of Zhu Di’s three major battalions, whether soldiers or generals, were all jubilant and excited.

The 500,000 elite troops had now become a moving army.

These people carried things on their shoulders and in their arms, each one looking like they were carrying a small hill.

In addition, each soldier was either leading several horses, or leading a donkey, or pulling a cart, all of which were overloaded.

The three battalions under Zhu Di were far more frugal and thrifty. They were all ordinary soldiers, not to mention clothes, blankets, tables, chairs, and other common items.

They even packed up and took away all the stones and wood that had been used to demolish the mansion.

Looking around, there was no trace of Shengjing City; it was just a ruin.

”We are all customers of the Myriad Realms Mall, and there are so many places where we will spend our value points in the future.”

”Save as much as you can, and earn as much as you can.”

Zhu Di spoke calmly and earnestly.

Although he doesn’t know how much he’ll gain yet, it’s worth at least a few thousand value points.

Value points are a currency that can buy lifespan; they are thousands or even tens of thousands of times more precious than gold.

”Our ancestors were right!”

Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, was not angry; instead, he seemed to be deep in thought.

He didn’t care about Shengjing City.

Because, in the capital, he confiscated at least 100 million taels of silver worth of gold and silver jewelry from the homes of the people he had confiscated.

Besides, he didn’t even take advantage of the Donglin Party, historically notorious traitors, or the local warlords—these were all easy targets.

Moreover, Zhu Di personally led an army of 500,000 to help him destroy the Jin Dynasty and quell the external threat; he couldn’t let his efforts go to waste.

He plans to continue clinging to his ancestors’ coattails.

”Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time!”

Zhu Di looked regretful and said.

If he had enough time, he would have launched a full-scale expedition to Russia, crossed the sea to conquer Japan, swept across the surrounding lands and made a fortune.

”There may be another opportunity in the future.”

Zhu Di’s expression shifted, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

Since he was able to meet Emperor Chongzhen (Zhu Youjian) in the Myriad Realms Mall, he might encounter other emperors of the Ming Dynasty as well.

······

Myriad Realms Mall.

”Lord of the city, I am confident that I can successfully refine these pills.”

Zhang Sanfeng examined each of the pill formulas, pondered for a moment, and then said...

The Heavenly Heart Detoxification Pill, the White Tiger Life-Snatching Pill, the Heavenly King Heart-Protecting Pill, the Dragon-Tiger Heart-Protecting Pill, and other similar pills were all created by him.

Although he was a martial artist, he was also a Taoist priest.

As a Taoist priest, how could he not know how to refine elixirs?

”How long would it take you to refine a Shaolin Temple Lesser Rejuvenation Pill?”

How long does it take to refine a Shaolin Temple Great Rejuvenation Pill?

Ye Hao asked.

”The Shaolin Temple Lesser Rejuvenation Pill is a relatively simple pill. I can refine one batch in about three days, and one batch should contain at least five pills.”

”The Shaolin Temple Great Rejuvenation Pill is a top-tier elixir. I can only refine one at a time, and it takes at least ten days to produce. Moreover, there’s no guarantee of success.”

Zhang Sanfeng thought for a moment and said.

If the Shaolin monks in the world of kung fu heard this, they would probably be extremely ashamed.

Shaolin Temple is, after all, one of the top martial arts sects in the world of kung fu, even though they couldn’t gather enough ingredients for a batch of Shaolin Temple Great Rejuvenation Pills.

However, several years ago, they did manage to gather enough ingredients for a batch of Shaolin Temple’s Lesser Rejuvenation Pills.

At that time, three monks at the Grandmaster level spent a full month successfully refining one batch of pills, but only three pills were produced.

If it were to refine the Shaolin Temple’s Great Rejuvenation Pill, let alone ten days, even a year would not guarantee their success.

”too slow.”

Ye Hao shook his head slightly.

This speed is incredible for others.

However, for the Multiverse Mall, the speed was simply too slow.

Moreover, Zhang Sanfeng also needs to cultivate, so he can’t possibly dedicate so much time to refining pills for the Myriad Realms Mall.

”Is there anything that can speed up the alchemy process?”

Ye Hao fell into deep thought.

However, his eyes lit up quickly, and he had an idea.

In fact, he also knew that even if Zhang Sanfeng’s alchemy speed were ten times faster, it would still be a drop in the ocean for the Myriad Realms Mall.

Because there is only one person refining the elixir, but there are many people buying the elixir.

The elixir must be mass-producible.

”System, send a notification to Zhuge Qing of the Nine Provinces Kingdom, asking him to come to the Myriad Realms Mall.”

Ye Hao gave the instructions.
