Jiang Shi took the "Red Sun Body Refining Technique," amazed, and immediately flipped through it.
On the first page of the cultivation technique, there was a list of numerous herbs. To cultivate this technique, besides enduring unimaginable pain, one must regularly undergo drug baths.
The entire technique is divided into three realms.
The First Realm can increase power by twenty percent over the original base.
The Second Realm increases power by forty percent.
The Third Realm increases power by fifty percent.
Besides these three realms, there is a matching palm technique called the Great Red Sun Palm, which primarily focuses on physical strength as an external palm technique.
Fierce and solid.
Comparable to Iron Mountain!
"Jiang Shi, memorize this cultivation technique immediately. These are the herbs we brought; take a drug bath tonight and see how it works first?"
Chi Yuan Elder casually handed another package to Jiang Shi.
"Yes, thank you, Elder."
Jiang Shi nodded.
He didn't linger long, holding the secret manual and herbs, and immediately left the place.
The room was left with only Chi Huo, Chi Long, and Chi Yuan, their expressions heavy as they began to plot.
In fact, during this period, it wasn't just their sect that was dissatisfied with the Red Flame Army, other Jianghu sects and noble families felt the same way.
But what good is dissatisfaction?
General Yang Hongtian's strength is terrifying, unfathomable. He has personally killed a Martial Saint in battle; who can rival him?
Moreover, under his command, the Red Flame Army of a hundred thousand soldiers, each trained to unleash power, any Jianghu sect before them is like decayed wood.
"Yang Hongtian's ambitions are high; he's likely not just aiming to eradicate the Red Turban Army. He's probably targeting all these Jianghu sects too. One can imagine, after quelling the Red Turban Army rebellion, none of the major sects will be spared,"
Chi Yuan Elder whispered, voicing the Observatory Master's concerns.
"We've sensed that too, but what can be done now?"
Chi Huo Daoist furrowed his brow and spoke softly.
"How about... secretly contacting other sects?"
Chi Long Daoist suggested.
"Not feasible!"
Chi Huo Daoist said, "Jianghu is a mixed bag now. Many have secretly sided with the Red Flame Army. Contacting them risks leaking the news."
"Then what should we do?"
The elders furrowed their brows, pondering deeply.
...
Time passed.
The night swiftly went by.
Jiang Shi cultivated the "Red Sun Body Refining Technique" in his room throughout the night, only opening his eyes at dawn and standing up from the drug barrel.
"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable."
He was amazed, looking at his bronze-colored skin.
The Red Sun Body Refining Technique was already getting started in just one night? So fast?
At this rate, in three days, he would master the First Realm completely!
Unexpectedly, despite being a loser in inner strength, he excelled in external skills.
"It's due to my powerful physique. My strong body makes the stringent conditions listed in the book trivial for me."
Jiang Shi murmured to himself.
Soon he noticed something amiss.
His height seemed to have increased again.
"Could this be a second growth spurt?"
"Brother Jiang, are you ready? It's time to set off!"
Suddenly, Xiong Kaishan's loud voice came from outside.
Jiang Shi quickly got dressed, picked up the large Wolf Fang Club from the corner, and strode out.
"Hurry up; General Xia is already urging us."
Xiong Kaishan, on his warhorse, spoke.
The two immediately hurried to the distance.
Soon they saw Xia Longhai outside the camp, his strong body clad in armor, flanked by five or six hundred elite Red Flame Army soldiers. He radiated killing intent and aura. His single eye revealed a sharp light as he looked at Jiang Shi.
Especially when his gaze fell on Jiang Shi's Wolf Fang Club, his pupils slightly contracted.
But he soon returned to his normal expression, saying: "Jiang Shi, where is your horse?"
Jiang Shi looked around to see all the Red Flame Army riding powerful steeds, dressed uniformly.
"I don't have a horse."
"No horse?"
Xia Longhai frowned and said, "That's not good, get him a horse!"
Soon a soldier led a chestnut horse from not far away.
"Brother Jiang, control your strength, don't kill the horse again,"
Xiong Kaishan said bashfully.
"Alright, I'll try."
Jiang Shi immediately mounted the horse, restraining his strength. They just lightly nudged it, and the horse neighed long and stabilized quickly.
Xia Longhai took another deep look at Jiang Shi and said: "Move out!"
He led the charge, galloping away.
The five or six hundred elite Red Flame Army followed, rushing over, red and shining, thundering across the earth.
The journey lasted a full three days.
Except for resting at night, all other times were spent on the road.
Jiang Shi grew increasingly suspicious, repeatedly questioning Xiong Kaishan along the way.
But unfortunately, Xiong Kaishan was evasive, repeatedly telling him they were almost there and he'd know the destination soon.
Jiang Shi felt helpless and continued to follow.
Of course, he had considered running away along the way, but quickly dismissed the thought.
Running away would be unrealistic under the eyes of so many Red Flame Army soldiers.
Even if he ran, Zhenwu Temple would face trouble.
If it were half a month ago, he would have betrayed Zhenwu Temple without hesitation.
But now!
After some thought, he decided to wait.
Besides, his power increased daily; he could always think of a way to leave later.
In three days, his strength increased by 300 pounds.
Reaching a total of 7500 pounds of force.
"Halt!"
On this day, near dusk, the galloping Red Flame Army finally stopped and, following Xia Longhai's command, quickly dismounted.
Each Red Flame Army soldier swiftly removed their armor, took out a black night suit from their personal bag, and quickly put it on.
"Jiang Shi, this is yours. Put it on now!"
Xia Longhai's face was cold, as if a changed man, striding over and throwing a night suit to Jiang Shi.
"General Xia, what's happening?"
Jiang Shi asked.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't. Just put it on!"
Xia Longhai spoke coldly and himself quickly removed his armor, donning the night suit.
Jiang Shi didn't ask further, immediately complying, quickly dressing.
All people now appeared as black-clad, masked figures, with only their eyes visible.
Xia Longhai mounted his horse again, his tone icy, shouting: "Move out!"
"Charge!"
The group rushed out again.
At dusk, they finally arrived in front of a prosperous town.
Xia Longhai's single eye flickered coldly, sitting on his horse, exuding an invisible terrifying aura like a predatory beast.
"Sanxia Town is the most prosperous town in my Desolate State, close to Dragon Mountain, famous for herbs, tea, and ironware. Commerce is flourishing, and many wealthy merchants and strongmen have amassed wealth beyond imagination, daring not to provoke them. Today, let's borrow some silver taels from Sanxia Town, lads..."
Xia Longhai, with an icy tone, waved his hand: "Leave none alive!"
The many Red Dragon Army soldiers around had already grinned fiercely, then suddenly urged their warhorses and quickly charged forward, slaughtering the vast town.
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
Thud thud thud!
Ah!
"Bandits are here, flee for your lives!"
"Bandits, bandits are coming!"
"Sirs, please stop, my brother-in-law has close ties with the Red Flame Army…"
The entire town was in chaos, with countless people screaming in terror, yet unable to escape their fate.
Jiang Shi's gaze sank, immediately understanding.
His eyes suddenly turned to Xia Longhai.
He saw Xia Longhai sitting on his horse, his aura calm and unmoving, like a mountain.
Then Jiang Shi abruptly turned his eyes to Xiong Kaishan.
Xiong Kaishan offered a bashful smile, saying, "Don't look at me; it's the General's orders."
Jiang Shi gradually exhaled a breath, saying: "It's unimaginable; the Red Flame Army has this way of getting rich!"
