Chapter 249 Lingshan News, Mirage?
"According to preliminary calculations, there are over 1.2 million cultivators of different levels of cultivation. This does not include the number of independent cultivators." Army Commander Peng frowned slightly and said solemnly.
"As for the independent cultivators, some may join the monk army. But can a monk army of 1.2 million be able to fight against the sea monster?" Shi Chen asked with a puzzled look on his face, tilting his head slightly.
"I believe in the combat capability of the human race, but this needs to be unified and coordinated. We can no longer be like loose sand, fighting on our own." General Peng said with his hands behind his back and a firm look in his eyes.
"All participants in the war are fighting for profit. I wonder how the resources will be distributed after the war?" Shi Chen raised his chin slightly and asked with a questioning look. He knew that this was the focus of this meeting. All participating cultivators, families, and sects would ultimately use this to determine whether to participate.
"Military merit will be counted, and rewards and punishments will be clearly defined. After conquering Dayu Continent, territories and resources will be divided according to military merit." General Peng said in a steady tone.
"Oh, if that's the case, many cultivators will try their best to advance their careers if their military achievements can be clearly recorded. But there's another question." Shi Chen nodded thoughtfully and continued.
"What's the problem?" General Peng tilted his head slightly and asked curiously.
"How do we solve the problem of the army's early supplies?" Shi Chen asked doubtfully, crossing his arms across his chest.
"This has been discussed. The initial supplies will be collected by the major sects. Spiritual medicines, spiritual objects, materials, and other necessary items can be exchanged for military merits. After the war is over, the military merits will be calculated. If an individual has outstanding military merits, he can join the sect and be allocated local resources." Army Master Peng explained in detail.
"When does Commander Peng think we should start the counterattack on Dayu Continent?" Shi Chen leaned forward slightly and asked anxiously.
"The specific time has not been determined. It now depends on how quickly the major sects can gather supplies. However, according to my calculations, the starting time will be at least two to three years, and no more than five years." Army Commander Peng narrowed his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully.
"It seems that I have to hurry up and find a spiritual object to continue my spiritual roots so that I can participate in this war of the human race. Thank you, Army Commander, for clearing up my doubts." Shi Chen bowed and said gratefully.
Commander Peng nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Master Shi, you're welcome. I hope you can find the spiritual object soon. If you need anything, please feel free to contact us."
Shi Chen bowed again and said solemnly, "Of course. I wish you a safe journey, Lord."
After Commander Peng and the others boarded the flying boat, it slowly rose into the air and flew off into the distance. Shi Chen stared at the direction the boat was leaving, his mind awash with thoughts.
Shi Chen turned to look at Liang Ruyan and the others and said, "Let's go back and continue looking for clues about the spiritual object."
Liang Ruyan nodded and said, "Okay, let's work hard together."
After leaving the flying boat dock and returning to their residence, Shi Chen began to search for clues about Lingshan, the fairy island in the East China Sea. He carefully studied the ancient books and maps he had collected, hoping to find more clues.
At the same time, he was also thinking about how to find spiritual objects in the chaotic East China Sea. The place was full of dangers, not only powerful sea monsters, but also various unknown mysterious forces. He needed to be fully prepared to ensure his safety.
Three more months passed, and Shi Chen received no concrete news, only some legends from fishermen on the seaside.
On this day, Shi Chen was refining the elixir when the communication symbol suddenly vibrated. He continued to refine the elixir meticulously. After a while, he opened the furnace to collect the elixir.
Putting away the jade bottle, Shi Chen took out the communication talisman and activated his spiritual power. Jia Sheng's voice came out with some excitement: Master Shi, I found a piece of news in a small village in the northeast of Chiyan Continent.
Fifteen days ago, a mortal fisherman saw a strange sight in the chaotic East China Sea.
On the Hundong Sea, among the clouds, the fairy mountains stand tall and majestic, appearing and disappearing in the mist.
On the fairy mountain, waterfalls and springs cascade down, forming pieces of dreamy water mist.
In the mountains, pavilions and towers are scattered in an orderly manner, exquisitely decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, ancient and mysterious.
Auspicious clouds are floating around the fairy mountain, and the air is filled with lucky air.
The father and son rowed the boat forward, and half an hour later the scene disappeared into the clouds.
When Shi Chen heard Jia Sheng's message, he was confused?
A mirage? Or a real fairy island or mountain? In the clouds? Or refracted by light?
A mortal body cannot sail far into the Hundong Sea. At most, they can sail within a hundred miles of the land. If a mirage appears within a hundred miles, many people nearby will see it.
To confirm the authenticity of the news, we just need to investigate within a radius of 100 miles with the village as the center to find out how many people saw the mirage on the day it appeared and in which direction.
By calculating the refraction and angle of light, we can figure out where the object is projected, its position, range, etc.
Shi Chen replied to Jia Sheng, asking him to inquire the names of the fishing villages within a hundred miles of the area, and to record the names of the fishing villages and the locations of the fishermen on the day they discovered the strange phenomenon, as well as the direction and location of the scene.
Jia Sheng acted quickly. One day later, he summarized all the situations and sent them to Shi Chen according to the market's instructions.
Shi Chen carefully examined the message sent by Jia Sheng, constantly considering various possibilities in his mind.
Judging from these descriptions, the wonder is indeed spectacular, but further analysis and verification are needed to confirm whether it is a real fairy island and sacred mountain.
He began to calculate the angle of light refraction and the possible position and range of the object based on the information provided by Jia Sheng. Shi Chen was so engrossed in this work that he seemed to forget everything around him.
Liang Ruyan and others watched Shi Chen's concentration from the side, but did not dare to disturb him. They just prayed silently for him, hoping that he could find the real clue this time.
After some complicated calculations and reasoning, Shi Chen gradually got some clues.
However, he also knew that relying on this alone was far from enough, and he had to go to the area in person to conduct an on-site survey to be sure.
"It seems that I have to go to the vicinity of that small fishing village." Shi Chen raised his head and said to Liang Ruyan and others with a firm gaze.
"Husband, let us go with you." Liang Ruyan hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously, her eyes full of worry.
"We agreed that you would wait for me here, practice hard, and strive to reach the Spirit Transformation stage before you can go out with me. Your Nascent Soul cultivation is still too low." Shi Chen frowned slightly and said seriously.
"Okay, husband, please be careful. Safety first." Xu Qianying nodded helplessly and said softly.
"Shi Chen, you must come back safely. We are waiting for you here." Huang Ziying said gently with red eyes.
"Don't worry. Now, unless you meet someone who has reached the late stage of fusion, it will be difficult for you to keep me." Shi Chen smiled confidently and said.
After leaving behind most of the cultivation elixirs and preparing the promotion elixirs for several people, Shi Chen left the Holy City with peace of mind.
He had to rush to Jia Sheng's fishing village as quickly as possible to understand the real situation. He had to first take a teleportation array to the nearby immortal city, and then drive his own flying boat there.
