A day later, Wang Xiaoqiang rushed from Dragon City to Wind Cloud City to meet with the Jin Family father and daughter. Regarding the invasion of the Yue Kingdom, he wanted to hear Jin Futu's opinion. But before he could speak, Jin Futu had already excitedly said, "Little Qiang, I have found the method to cultivate the 'Undying Golden Body'..."
A few months ago, Wang Xiaoqiang had asked Jin Futu about the Undying Golden Body. He knew that Jin Futu had traveled the world all his life, was knowledgeable and skilled in medicine, and understood alchemy and could create Patterned Beasts... Such a master, he thought, should have some knowledge about the Undying Golden Body,
but he was disappointed.
At that time, Jin Futu did not know the cultivation method for the Undying Golden Body. However, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang troubled by this matter, he paid attention to it.
Over the following months, he visited old friends everywhere, inquiring about the method of cultivation for the Undying Golden Body.
Because of his excellent medical skills, Jin Futu had met many reclusive masters, including a hidden Immortal Emperor, whom he also knew. As a result, he did indeed learn the method of cultivation for the Undying Golden Body from this Immortal Emperor.
"Really, that's awesome!" Wang Xiaoqiang was thrilled upon hearing this, knowing that he had been stuck at the early stage of the Undying Golden Body, unable to advance due to not understanding the cultivation method,
Although his Qi Refining Cultivation base was advancing by leaps and bounds, he was more eager for a breakthrough in his Body Refining Cultivation. Because once he broke through to the rumored "Nirvana Realm," he would be able to be reborn like a phoenix from the ashes, dying and then living again, and by that time, even the most formidable experts wouldn't be able to kill him.
Jin Futu said, "Well, body refinement is different from Qi refinement. Body refinement places more emphasis on cultivation resources, and the method for cultivating the Undying Golden Body is closely related to these cultivation resources..."
Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "What pills are needed?"
"It's not pills, but refined gold. Or rather...flowing gold," Jin Futu replied.
"Refined gold? Flowing gold? What are those things?"
"Refined gold is extracted from gold coins, and flowing gold is refined gold that has been refined into a flowing state of gold through a special method..."
"Uh, that's not difficult; you just need to have gold coins..."
"No, it's extremely difficult!" Jin Futu shook his head. "The problem is, a hundred jin of gold coins can only refine one gram of refined gold, and one gram of refined gold can only make half a gram of flowing gold..."
"Uh, this..." Wang Xiaoqiang was speechless.
Now he is equivalent to a monarch, receiving an official salary every month, and his salary is the highest among the Imperial Clan of the entire Empire.
Even so, he only receives twenty thousand gold coins a month, only two hundred forty thousand a year, showing the rarity of these gold coins.
The key is that these gold coins are the currency circulated among the major royal families in great business trades and also held by the royal family.
The royal family consists of those who have a blood relation with the Emperor, especially those relatively close, such as the Emperor's parents, wife, children, and brothers. Even married-off sisters do not have this privilege, highlighting the rarity of gold coins.
Two hundred forty thousand gold coins should weigh several hundred jin, maybe eight hundred jin at most.
Eight hundred jin of gold coins can only refine eight grams of refined gold; eight grams of refined gold can only create four grams of flowing gold. How much cultivation base can four grams of flowing gold enhance??
Wang Xiaoqiang is now the ruler of the Yellow Dragon Empire, and he could use his power to seize gold coins, but if he really relied on the Empire's gold coins to cultivate, it would be an absolute money burner since gold coins circulate among all the countries in the Immortal Realm, and the royal families of all the Immortal Realm countries only recognize this currency, and all major currency trades between countries only recognize gold coins.
If Wang Xiaoqiang relied on the Yellow Dragon Empire's gold coins for cultivation, the economic lifeline of the Yellow Dragon Empire would collapse rapidly. The nation would fall apart.
Wang Xiaoqiang does not want to harm the entire country for his own sake.
"You see the difficulty now, right?" Jin Futu said, "One gram of flowing gold can only provide a negligible amount of help in cultivating..."
"It is somewhat difficult," Wang Xiaoqiang had to admit.
"Little Qiang, to be honest, my Immortal Emperor friend has only reached the Blood Condensation Realm in body refinement cultivation. The higher you go, the harder it becomes to cultivate... Sigh!" Jin Futu couldn't help but sigh deeply after speaking.
Suddenly, Wang Xiaoqiang had a thought, "Got it, the Yellow Dragon Empire cannot be harmed, but that doesn't mean other countries can't. For example, the Yue Kingdom, which I will soon invade. Once I conquer the Yue Kingdom, I can seize a large amount of gold coins from the royal family. Right, there's also the Yan Kingdom... and even the entire Immortal Realm. If I control the entire Immortal Realm, then I can change the universally accepted currencies of the countries. By then, gold coins will be worthless, and I guess all countries will voluntarily offer their gold coins to me."
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoqiang casually said, "Good, we have a method now. Although it's difficult, we aren't afraid. We can take it slow."
"Well, this is the method of refining flowing gold. Now I'll give it to you..." As Jin Futu spoke, he flipped his right hand, taking out a book wrapped in gold foil from his Storage Ring. It looked exceptionally precious, and he handed the Gold Foil Book over. "There's a detailed record in here, take your time to study it."
"Okay." Wang Xiaoqiang took it but did not further mention the matter of war to Jin Futu, because he had already decided that no one could convince him not to invade the Yue Kingdom.
Not only is he going to invade the Yue Kingdom, but he's also going to invade other countries. He wants to become the Lord of the Immortal Realm and take the Immortal Realm's gold coins for his own use, to freely use them and cultivate the Undying Golden Body.
After bidding farewell to the father and daughter of the Jin Family, Wang Xiaoqiang arrived at the border of the Yellow Dragon Empire, at the point where it meets the Yue Kingdom, bringing his army to begin his war of invasion against the Yue Kingdom.
Of course, Wang Xiaoqiang did not call it an invasion in terms of propaganda. He viewed this war as punishment and conquest against the Yue Kingdom.
The Myriad Circle Spirit Formation was arranged in perfect order, covered on the sides by the Thousand-Position Spirit Formation. Densely flying across the sky, it was a grand sight that struck fear into hearts. An army of nearly two million, shouting as one, rolled like Heavenly Thunder, shaking people's hearts, unstoppable, leaving destruction and panic in its wake wherever it went.
Wang Xiaoqiang was not interested in occupying cities. His primary objective now was to seize the territories of the princes because these princes were the Emperor's brothers, uncles, or sons. As members of the royal family, they received gold coins every month.
Wang Xiaoqiang's target was those gold coins.
Initially, to capture the enemy, he should have directly attacked the Yue Kingdom's Capital City, captured the Sovereign of Yue, and then used the Emperor to command the Feudal Lords, control the Yue Kingdom, and then seize the Yue Kingdom's gold coins. This strategic method is straightforward and efficient, but Wang Xiaoqiang thought it inappropriate because he was not yet familiar with the Yue Kingdom. The fact that the Yue Kingdom can stare down neighboring countries proves its strength, and the standard of strength for an Empire is not only its army but also some formations with strong attack power, defensive formations, and, most importantly, experts within the royal family. What Wang Xiaoqiang feared was the Immortal Emperor of the Yue Kingdom.
Although Wang Xiaoqiang had not seen an Immortal Emperor Level cultivator so far, it does not mean there isn't one. If an Immortal Emperor character truly appeared in the Yue Kingdom, he couldn't be sure he could handle it.
So, his current strategy is to attack small targets before large ones, first attacking the prince's territories, while also probing the realities within the Yue Kingdom. Once the realities are understood, attacking the Yue Kingdom's Capital City would not be too late. (To be continued.
